Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 478
"Daddy, Heng'er dug another big one. Look, look, look!" Among the one-acre farmland, Li Heng happily held up a potato he dug out by himself. Big at least two or three catties.

The little guy was struggling to hold it with one hand, and Shao Yiyi on the other side quickly put the potatoes in the little guy's hand into the bamboo basket.

"25 stone. 25 stone this. this. Is this true?"

Quan Wanji stood aside and looked at the pile of potatoes piled up like a hill at his feet with an incredulous expression. Li You looked at his teacher's dumbfounded expression and smiled slightly: "Teacher, you can weigh it by yourself." Yes, and asked me if it was true, but I didn’t weigh it.”

"But you made these potatoes, my God, Li You, this really shocked me, 25 shi per mu of land, how terrible it is, if all the land in Datang is planted with potatoes , then my Tang Dynasty will never have famine again." Quan Wanji's excited beard was raised up.

"Yes." Li You nodded, but said quickly and slightly: "It's just that it will take a while. This period of time is not less than three years, or even longer."

"It doesn't matter, what does it matter..." Quan Wanji on the side showed a trace of excitement: "The people of the Tang Dynasty can wait, and they will definitely be able to wait, by the way. Does Your Majesty know?"

"Father doesn't know yet, and I'm not going to tell you about the potatoes. After all, it needs to be tested a lot. If you make a mistake, you may be attacked by others. The number of potatoes is too scary."

"Your Highness, you did the right thing. The amount of potatoes is a bit too surprising, so don't say it for now. When the potatoes become large, you are reporting. At that time, you will definitely surprise His Majesty." Quan Wanji was very serious. happy.

Originally, Quan Wanji was asked to come to Lavender Villa for a play, but Quan Wanji was not willing to come, saying that he had a lot of business affairs. This time, the eldest grandson Wuji left, and the entire household department was dominated by him, so Quan Wanji was busy. busy.

But it was because he was too busy that Li You invited him to come over and have a play, which could regulate his mood. In fact, Quan Wanji was already suffering from a disease. This disease was called Diabetes, a disease that could not be cured even in modern times.

Not only Quan Wanji has it, but Ma Zhou also has it, and Ma Zhou died of this disease. Li You went back to modern times this time to get some more medicine, and then gave it to the two of them. Seriously, these two are Li You People who don't want anything to happen.

And if the two can live for a longer period of time, it must be good for the people of Datang. Both of them are good officials of the people of Datang.

Quan Wanji came here with Li You in the end, because Li You said that he had planted a new high-yield crop in Lavender Villa, which was very powerful. When Quan Wanji heard this, he immediately became interested.

It is said that the Tang Dynasty was so powerful, Emperor Taizong of Tang was honored as "Tian Khan", and it was also the "Reign of Zhenguan" and "The Prosperity of Kaiyuan". Will farmers starve to death?
In fact, it is recorded in the "New Book of Tang" edited by Song Qi and Ouyang Xiu, and here we are only excerpting part, "In the first year of Zhenguan, there was hunger in the Guan. In the spring of the fourth year, Dongdu was hungry. In the autumn of the first year of Tiaolu, Guanzhong was hungry. In the winter of the first year of Yonglong, Dongdu was hungry. In the first year of Yongchun, Guanzhong and Shannan Prefecture were hungry, and the people of the capital ate each other."

It can be seen that even in the so-called prosperous age in ancient times, the life of farmers was very difficult.

"Shanpo Yang. Tong caring ancient" written by Zhang Yanghao, a famous poet in the Yuan Dynasty, apart from the opening line "the peaks and mountains are gathered together, and the waves are like anger." It has been passed down through the ages, and the ending "prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer."

In fact, in ancient times, officials like Quan Wanji and Ma Zhou were really needed. They were all people who really cared for the people, just like Quan Wanji, who came here as soon as he heard about new crops.

It's all right now. Seeing the production of potatoes, Quan Wanji was overjoyed.

"Father brother!"

Li Mingda and Li Heng ran over with a pile of potatoes.

What the two of them made in the field now looked like two little mud monkeys, but they were very happy, and brought the potatoes over like presenting treasures and shouted to Li You together.

"What?" Li You looked at his two favorite women and asked with a smile.

"My aunt wants to eat baked potatoes!" Li Heng glanced at Li Mingda with a smile.

"Hey little rascal, I want to eat, don't you want to eat!" After speaking, Li Mingda looked at Li You and said, "Fifth Brother, I want to eat enough today."

It's just that Li You hasn't spoken yet. Quan Wanji on the side hastily walked over, bowed to look at Li Mingda and Li Heng, and said, "Your Highness, Heng'er, you can't eat potatoes."

"Why...?" Li Mingda and Li Heng were all surprised.

"Grandpa. Daddy said potatoes are delicious. Heng'er wants to eat them." Li Heng lifted up the potatoes again, and handed them to Li You with all his strength, wanting Li You to roast them.

Here, Li Mingda also said again and again: "That's right. Minister Quan, I'll eat it for you later."

"Oh, I don't eat it, I really don't eat it. This is the seed of the future. It can help the people of Tang Dynasty get rid of the famine earlier. In this way, the old minister has chocolate here. It is not ordinary, it is alcoholic chocolate. The old minister will exchange this with you. How are you?"

"Alcoholic chocolate?" Li Mingda and Li Heng's eyes lit up at Quan Wanji's words.

These two guys like to eat chocolate very much, especially alcoholic chocolate, but there are very few such alcoholic chocolates. It is impossible for Li You to give them a lot. I ate a lot of ordinary chocolate, but alcoholic chocolate was still very rare, even for the two women Li You loved most, there wouldn't be too much.

Seeing the alcoholic chocolates that Quan Wanji took out from his bosom, Li Mingda and Li Heng immediately took three of them each, and then handed the potatoes to Quan Wanji's hands. Li Mingda smiled and asked again: "Mr. Quan, Don't regret it!"

After finishing speaking, he took Li Heng and the two of them and ran away with a smile. At that speed, I am afraid that Quan Wanji will regret it, because in Li Mingda's mind, although potatoes are rare and uneaten things, alcoholic chocolate is better.

"Hey, give me one. Those who see it have a share. Don't be too shameless." Li Zhi on the side saw alcoholic chocolates, and hurriedly chased after them.

"Hehe. Keep it." Quan Wanji looked at the potatoes in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief. Quan Wanji saw that keeping one more potato can make more potatoes, which can help the people get rid of famine as soon as possible.

Seeing Quan Wanji's appearance, Li You felt a wave of emotion in his heart. This is Quan Wanji, a good official who really cares about the people.

Around noon, the potatoes were dug out, and the yield was calculated. These potatoes will be raised again and planted, so that the yield can be expanded, and then the scale will be formed after a few years.

Afterwards, Quan Wanji personally escorted the potatoes back to the manor. What made Li You even happier was that Quan Wanji personally guarded the potatoes, just to prevent Li Mingda, Li Zhi and others from stealing the potatoes.

To be honest, Quan Wanji really counted on Li Mingda. In fact, she was going to steal it, but now it's over.

"Sister Quan, I'm so disappointed that your father doesn't believe me." Li Mingda was speechless, while Quan Zhixi and the other girls showed faint smiles. Just like that, after working in the field for a while, their bodies were also dirty. Li You directly took the girls to a deep pool in the Lavender Villa, and had a good time playing in the water.

This deep pool is located on the right side of the Lavender Villa, in a bamboo forest, the water inside is very cool and clear, Li You, Li Mingda, Li Heng, Quan Zhixi, Yueying, Shao Yiyi. Six people came to the pool, Yaoyu has already surrounded the 200 meters with his own guards, and no one else will come here again.

"You guys put on this here. This one is better for playing in the water. I'll go over there and put on the life buoy for you."

Li You took out a few swimsuits and asked the girls to put them on first. They are not sexy swimsuits, they are all conservative. Li Mingda and Yueying's swimsuits are student swimsuits, which are convenient for swimming. There will be more.

Li You bought the life buoys at the supermarket. He bought seven or eight of them. He thought he couldn't bring them, but unexpectedly, he brought them with him.

Li You went to cheer up, and the other girls changed their clothes. After everything was settled, a group of six people came to the edge of the pool. in vain.

A pool of clear water is crystal clear, like a shining silver mirror, inlaid in the green bushes.

A jasper-like sky is reflected on the surface of the pool, with two or three white clouds floating dreamily.

Li Mingda was the first to touch the surface of the pool with his fair and slender legs mischievously. In an instant, large and small water patterns appeared on the calm surface of the pool. expand.

"Okay. Everyone put on a lifebuoy, and I'll teach you how to swim."

"Really!" Li Mingdong was delighted by Li You's words, and immediately shouted, "Fifth brother, teach me first, teach me first."

Here Li Heng also shouted unwillingly: "Daddy, teach Heng'er, Heng'er has to learn!"

"Alright!" Li You said with a chuckle, "Let's teach together, don't worry, I'm an expert, I can teach everything."

Although Datang is open, it has not been opened to such an extent, so very few noble girls in Chang'an can swim, even if they go out to play in the water, only Li You should do such a thing, and other people will not be able to do it even if they are open again. Should not do so.

"Ah, it really floated."

Li Mingda was the first to put on the swimming ring and get down the pool. However, he was still on the edge of the pool. Li Youye told him not to go in, and saw that Li Mingda really floated up.

Finally, the other girls couldn't bear it anymore, and they got into the water one by one. Datang, ancient times, beautiful women, deep pools Li You smiled, this is life.
