Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 196 Li Shimin Training Western Liaoning
"Hehe, hehe, so that's the case, the old man is lying." Changsun Wuji said with a fake smile.

In fact, this is also caused by Changsun Wuji's selfish intentions. He was originally very satisfied with Li Chengqian and his brothers to learn from him, but as Feng Daiwen became closer to the two of them and made continuous contributions, he was worried that his status would be shaken in the future, so he wanted to suppress it.

Li Shimin is such a character, he watched with cold eyes, and has already seen the details, but for a little thing, the two of them are close and it is not easy to take sides, so they just pretend not to see it.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see how big the harvest of the water vegetable and fruit garden you mentioned is." Li Shimin said.

"Hehe, Erchen, there's nothing I can do about it. There are too many. I can only ask the palace to help buy more. It's only worthwhile to exchange them for money. It would be a pity if they were all distributed to everyone. After all, tens of thousands of people spend more than half a year. The harvest." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"It's hard for you. A poor place in western Liaoning can develop into what it is today. You must have put in a lot of hard work. If the whole world can be like this, there will still be hunger." Li Shimin looked at himself, who was only 20 years old. The son-in-law sighed with satisfaction.

"After Liaoxi gets familiar with the way, other places can follow suit, and it will be much better in the future." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it." Li Shimin laughed and patted Feng Daiwen on the shoulder and said.

……

When Li Shimin and his party saw the orchard, they were still stunned. The vast land stretched as far as the eye can see, with red and blue fruits leaking out of the green, and colorful flowers blooming all over the vines.

"This is cherry tomatoes. It tastes delicious, sweet and sour. The picking period is as long as two months, but it is not easy to preserve, so there are not many planted. There are only more than ten acres of land, and most of them will keep the seeds." Feng Daiwen introduced the people around him. Vegetable field.

"I ate this last winter, it was really good, very appetizing." Li Shimin took off a few without hesitation, wiped them with his hands and threw them into his mouth.

"Baji..." Tomato juice sprayed out from the corner of his mouth, he wiped the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and said to Fang Xuanling: "Ai Qing, you guys should try it too, you are busy with business all day, just to relax."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and the others followed suit and started moving one after another.

Feng Daiwen knew Li Shimin well, he was never polite to his own things, and he was used to being generous to others, so he ignored a group of bandits who entered the village, and continued to explain: "There are cucumbers on this shelf, two kinds of plants, one tall and one short, just interplanted , not only is it convenient to manage, but also does not need to take up too much land, and the two kinds of fruits can be picked for about two months, and the common people only need to grow a little near their homes, and it is enough to eat."

"That's right, it's simple, it's convenient, and it doesn't matter where you choose it. If the common people have one more food, they can save more grain." Li Shimin agreed happily.

Whether it is "Food is paramount to the people" or "Family has surplus food, don't panic," it all profoundly shows that food is the kingly way, and money does not necessarily mean that there is a place to buy it. Only having food at home can ensure that the whole family can continue to live. go down.

"This is pumpkin. It tastes great and is suitable for food and vegetables. Over there is winter melon. It can be cooked with a large yield and a long storage time. It will be fine for a few months. After a period of time when it is fully mature, it can be stored until the New Year. " Feng Daiwen continued to introduce.

"It is a matter of one or two years to be able to eat vegetables in winter, even for nobles. It is very good, very good for the common people to have vegetables to eat in winter." Changsun Wuji said sincerely. I grew up bitterly.

Next, Feng Daiwen took Li Shimin and his party to visit slowly. Whether it was the slices of vegetables or the fruit trees all over the mountains and plains along the way, they all brought them a huge visual impact.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing! Judging by the current layout, Pingzhou is already superior to the people in Guanzhong." Li Shimin himself can't remember how many times he admired it all the way.

"It's mainly due to Weiguo's ingenuity. Many of these things are available in the Tang Dynasty itself. Take the chayote in front of the common people's house as an example. It was originally available in many places, but no one thought of it. Large-scale promotion, or The Holy Majesty knows heroes with his eyesight, and this result can only be achieved by appointing Wei Guo to govern the region." Fang Xuanling concluded from the side.

"Haha, haha, that's right, that chayote is indeed a good thing. After planting one, you don't need to take care of it in the future. You just need to put it on a shelf, and there are so many results, which is really good." Li Shimin was so happy that he felt very relieved. , The constant praise proves that it is indeed the result of his bold appointment of talents.

"Fang Gong's praise. Vegetables and fruits are not the staple food after all. We have to look at the autumn harvest to know how this year's harvest will be." Feng Daiwen said modestly.

"Although I'm not an old farmer, I can tell that the wheat and rice in western Liaoning are not only thicker, but also have longer spikes. The yield must be higher than that of other places, but we'll have to wait and see for details." Fang Xuanling stroked his beard. He shook his head and said.

Then Feng Daiwen took Li Shimin back to Pingzhou and lived in the Sheriff's Mansion.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin had just woken up and had eaten breakfast, and Feng Daiwen went to see him.

"Why? What's the surprise for me today? I came so early." Li Shimin half-jokingly said.

"Father is wise and predicts things like a god. Today, I'm here to invite you to the barracks to see the [-] Khitan soldiers trained by me." Feng Daiwen complimented.

"Well, I will tell Wuji to wait for someone to come and take a look together." Li Shimin was stunned, thinking that Feng Daiwen came to ask him to go and see, there must be something special to go and see.

"Here, father, the [-] soldiers are a bit special. Father can show them first, and then I will explain to you alone." Feng Daiwen reminded first.

"Oh! What's so special, tell me." Li Shimin was deeply surprised and secretly disapproved.

"My son can't explain clearly now, the emperor will understand after looking at it first." Feng Daiwen said with a mysterious smile.

"Haha, that's good, I'll just wait and see!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, and asked someone to recruit the eldest grandson Wuji, and Fang Xuanling followed him to the military camp outside the city.

Three thousand Xuanjia troops opened the way, and when they arrived outside the barracks, Feng Daiwen had already explained that he let the Xuanjia troops take over the defense.

Brother Laijia led 1000 people to the school grounds. The fanatical and brainwashed soldiers stood motionless on the school grounds until Li Shimin, led by Feng Daiwen, boarded the commander's platform.

More than 2 people worship Li Shimin's portrait every day and shout slogans. Naturally, they are very familiar with Li Shimin's appearance. Now seeing the real person appearing in front of them, it's okay. They all looked at Li Shimin with enthusiastic eyes.

If it weren't for the military regulations, I'm afraid I would have started worshiping it long ago.

Although Li Shimin is often admired by people, but more people are really afraid. Suddenly, more than 2 people are watching enthusiastically, and his heart is still a little hairy.

"Father, please say a few words!" Feng Daiwen reminded in a low voice behind Li Shimin.

"The soldiers have worked hard!" Li Shimin just said loudly.

The 2 people below all raised their hands in salute, and shouted: "Serve Datang!"

Although he has learned Chinese for several months, the accent of the Khitan people is still a bit strange. Li Shimin was almost taken aback by the huge reaction below, and then shouted very happily: "I am very happy to see you, because of your hard work. , there is peace at the border, and Datang will not forget you."

"Hey, son of heaven, son of heaven!" Li Shimin's words fell into the ears of these soldiers, part-time job is the best reward, like being stabbed in a hornet's nest, the soldiers below shouted enthusiastically at the top of their voices.
