In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 177 The Corn and Sweet Potato Harvest

Li Ke came to the door of the imperial study, and secretly raised his head to take a look.Sure enough, Li Shimin was sitting at the coffee table, reading a book and drinking tea.

"Stinky boy, come in when you come, you are a rat, you don't look like my Li Shimin's son at all."

"hey-hey……"

Li Ke walked in with a smile: "Father, didn't I see you reading a book? I don't really want to disturb you."

Li Shimin poured him a cup of tea himself, and said straight to the point: "Have you received the news?"

Li Ke picked it up, took a sip, and said, "Got it."

"Afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of, just a few bad old men."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and asked, "So confident?"

Li Ke said with a smile: "Father, for example, if our Li family did not win the world. You have obtained such technology, would you hand it over to those aristocratic families?"

Li Shimin said decisively: "Impossible. Even if we don't win the world, my Li family is not so easy to handle."

Li Ke said: "Then it's over. If you don't have the world, you are not afraid. Now it is my Li family's world. What am I afraid of them?
No matter whether it is salt or cement, they are all strategic materials now.These things must be in the hands of our royal family for a long time. "

Li Shimin nodded in relief, and said, "Okay, with your words, I am relieved. Since you said so, I will leave this matter to you to handle.

Anyway, you remember, your father will support you in everything, so don't be afraid. "

Li Shimin was really afraid that this kid would not be able to withstand the pressure, and when the time came to release the technology without telling him, it would be over.

The reason why he is waiting here today is that all he wants is his words.

For some reason, Li Shimin now has an inexplicable trust in Li Ke.I feel that Li Ke is very stable, not like a 14-year-old kid at all.

Now that he looks so silly, it doesn't look like he's stupid, but rather down-to-earth.

After leaving the imperial study, Li Ke took a look at the corn on the way back.

It is old enough to be harvested.

Most of these things are reserved for seeds.Therefore, it must be kept until it is old enough to be picked.Otherwise, it cannot be used as a seed.

Li Ke took people to dig some sweet potatoes to check, and they were also ripe.

Looking at the endless yellow-green, Li Ke showed a smile, and a sense of accomplishment spontaneously emerged.

Our future lies in this field of hope.

He went to inspect several rubber saplings.

The rubber saplings are growing very well. This thing is like a gift from the system. It does not pick the climate or the land, and it grows very vigorously.And it grows much faster than ordinary rubber saplings.

In just half a year, he was already half waist high.Although it is not as good as those eucalyptus trees of later generations, it grows fast.

Judging from this posture, after three or four years, a small amount of rubber should be able to be harvested.

Grow it, grow it faster!Datang's industrial society depends on you.

On the second day, Li Ke sent someone to inform Li Chengqian that he was going to harvest corn.

Li Chengqian was speechless, he also wanted to go and have a look at such a prosperous harvest.

However, he has too much work on hand.He was very helpless and asked Li Shimin to tell the news.

When Li Shimin received the news, he rushed over immediately with his people.

At the same time, he also arranged for people to make a big publicity in Chang'an City, informing those common people to come and watch the harvest.

Yes, only in this way can the news of high corn yields be spread and promoted.

In the second half of the year, he plans to let all the farmers grow corn.

Of course, it was the slopes.Paddy fields still need to grow rice and wheat.

For a moment, the entire city of Chang'an shook.Anyone who was free gathered in Dongshan.

Countless people came to Dongshan to watch them pick corn.

Li Ke was very speechless, so he could only tell Yuchi Baolin and order those officers and soldiers to take good care of those rubber saplings.

For him, the corn is not the focus, but the rubber trees. If one is damaged, he will feel distressed for a long time.

Baskets of golden yellow corn were put on the scale.

Finally, an officer and soldier with a loud voice stood on a high place and sang loudly: "Fellow folks, let me tell you auspiciousness. According to the weighing statistics just now, the yield of this mu of corn is 2238 catties."

"Wow……"

The people were shocked.

My God, more than 2200 catties, what kind of concept is this?This is the output of 10 acres of land!And it has to be in good weather.

In other words, if you plant this corn, you only need to plant one acre to support a family.

Oh my god.

"No, next year I'm going to plant corn too. Any idea where I can get seeds?"

The officer and soldier standing on the high place immediately said loudly: "Corn seeds can be bought at the shop of His Highness the King of Shu. The price has not yet been determined, but His Highness the King of Shu said that it is absolutely cheap, about one or two yuan per catty." Everyone can afford it. Four catties of seeds can plant an acre of land.”

Yes, the distance between corn is very wide, much wider than that of rice and wheat.Therefore, four catties of corn seeds can cover an acre of land.

"Okay, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is mighty..."

Some people shouted excitedly.

There's no way I can't help being excited. Once I plant corn, I don't have to worry about being hungry anymore.

Suddenly, the officer and soldier on the high platform spoke again.

"Folks, in fact, in Dongshan, corn is not the only high-yield product. Over there, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is leading people to harvest sweet potatoes. Let's go and see how many catties of sweet potatoes can be harvested per mu, shall we?
His Highness the King of Shu also said that as long as you go over, His Highness the King of Shu will distribute sweet potato seeds on the spot.let's go..."

The people were very happy, and followed the officer and soldier, and walked towards the sweet potato field.

Soon, they saw a scene they had never seen in their life.

They actually saw that someone dug up the fruit in the soil.

Yes, in their opinion, there is no kind of fruit in the world that is dug out of the soil.These things are dug out of the soil, can they be eaten?

But soon, they dismissed this idea, because someone had already set up a large pot and started cooking sweet potatoes on the spot.

Another officer and soldier told them.Those who come to watch the digging of sweet potatoes today are lucky.Everyone present can try a sweet potato.Whether it tastes good or not, they will have the final say at that time.

When everyone heard that there was something to eat, they immediately became lively.

They only watched there for a quarter of an hour, and the sweet potatoes were cooked, and then someone came over with the sweet potatoes and distributed them to them.

After receiving the plump and steaming sweet potatoes, the aroma made them salivate.

At the scene, someone was there to teach them how to eat.

When they peeled off the skin and bit the sweet potato flesh into their mouths, a sweet and sour taste that they had never experienced invaded their taste buds.

Savory and sweet, it’s simply delicious.
