Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

"What is corn?"

"Why haven't you heard of it?"

"Is corn another name for wheat?"

Li Shimin and Fang Du kept asking questions around Uncle Huang's corn seedlings.

"Corn is one of the grains of our Yangjiazhuang. The name is just like its name. Because the corn kernels grow crystal clear, like jade, so it is called corn. This corn is not wheat, and the fruit of corn is larger than wheat."

"This corn has strong drought tolerance, cold tolerance, poor tolerance and excellent environmental adaptability."

Huang Bo said.

"Since it is food, how about the yield of this corn?" Li Shimin asked, he is most concerned about the yield.

"Oh, not much, maybe two thousand catties per mu." After Huang Bo finished speaking, he planted another corn.

Uncle Huang spoke casually, but Li Shimin and the others opened their mouths wide in shock.

"The yield per mu is two thousand catties!"

"You old man, you don't make drafts when you lie. In Guanzhong, the most fertile place in the Tang Dynasty, the yield of wheat per mu is only [-] catties. How can you have [-] catties of corn? Are you kidding me!"

Du Ruhui denied it on the spot.

"Exactly!" Fang Xuanling didn't believe it either.

You can still produce two thousand catties per mu, why don't you go to the sky and stand side by side with the sun?
"It's useless to have a fertile land, you have to have a good variety of crops. In our Yangjiazhuang, the yield of wheat grown on the most barren land is more than one thousand catties per mu! This corn is cheaper than wheat and easy to grow, so the yield is naturally higher." Uncle Huang explained.

"Believe it or not, this is ridiculous!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said in disbelief.

"Oh, it's normal that you don't believe it. After all, you are still uncivilized."

Uncle Huang chuckled, and didn't want to argue with them, as if not believing what he said was the normal reaction of these outsiders.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui hadn't realized how powerful Yang Zhuo was, so they still looked at Uncle Huang suspiciously.

However, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun knew that Yangjiazhuang was a magical place, so they firmly believed in it.

Uncle Huang is someone close to Yang Zhuo, so his words must be right!
The yield per mu is two thousand catties!God!What a concept!

The yield of this corn is so high, and the land is not selected. If it can be promoted nationwide, the people of Tang Dynasty will be able to eat enough!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other and smiled.

In today's Tang Dynasty, although the war is over, the people are living in poverty, and eating enough is a luxury for most people.

At that time, the crop varieties were relatively low-end, the yield was not high, the quality was not good, and the requirements for the land were very high.

Moreover, the staple food is wheat, unlike now, where the staple food includes rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. There are many varieties, and the risk of famine is low.

Therefore, in ancient times, once there was a natural disaster and the wheat harvest failed, there would be famine!
"Uncle Huang, can you ask us for some corn seedlings, we also want to take them back and plant them, so we can learn a lot."

Li Shimin was cautious, and said carefully, for fear of being rejected.

Because it is common to be unwilling to give such a rare thing!
"You want to grow? There are plenty of seedlings in the shed over there, you just take them." Uncle Huang laughed.

Li Shimin bowed deeply to Uncle Huang, and said, "The old man is really kind and kind!"

Uncle Huang was embarrassed by the praise: "It's nothing, our young master has explained that if people outside the village want to plant, they can get it themselves. However, these outsiders are too rigid and afraid of losing their harvest, so few dare to try. indivual."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was even more respectful to Yang Zhuo, this young man is really nice, with such a treasure, he didn't hide it!

What a big heart!
Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to pick some corn seedlings and prepared to go back to plant them.

"Fang Gong, do you think it's a little strange that the emperor believes in the old man's words?"

"I'm also wondering, let's take a look as we walk."

Several people bypassed the crop field and arrived outside the villa of Yangzhuo Manor.

Compared with the last time, this villa courtyard has erected a high wall, and the outside of the wall is painted with a layer of gray sand-like things...

"Weird! Weird! Why is this wall so hard!"

"What is this layer of paint? Isn't it loess?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stepped forward, buckled and stomped, and then, unwilling to give up, drew out Lu Yun's sword and stabbed at the corner of the wall, but the wall didn't move at all, and it didn't look damaged at all. The bricks are still strong.

"Who! Who is destroying the corner of my house!"

At this time, Lao Zhang heard the sound, came out with a big knife, and said coldly.

"Let's just take a look, where is the corner of your house broken?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glared at Old Zhang, very upset, except for Li Shimin, few people in Tang Dynasty dared to yell at them!
"Even if you have self-knowledge, you can't damage the concrete corner of my house with your small body!" Lao Zhang glanced at Fang and Du with contempt.

"Who is too small! Who is too small!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui felt that they had been insulted!

At this moment of tension, Li Shimin stood up.

"Old Zhang, it's me, Old Li!"

When Lao Zhang saw that it was Li Shimin, he suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "So it's Lao Li!"

"One of those two is my accountant, Lao Du, and the other is my housekeeper, Lao Fang. They have never seen the world, so I was really embarrassed just now." Li Shimin said.

Uh, never seen the world...

Fang Xuanling: ...

Du Ruhui: ...

"It's easy to say, easy to say, but anyone who comes from outside the village has never seen the world." Lao Zhang laughed, not humble at all.

Crowd: ...

"Old Zhang, you just said that the walls of your house are called cement walls? What is this cement?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

When Fang and Du broke the corner just now, they used all their strength. The saber that Lu Yuna carried with him was also a first-class knife, but the corner did not move at all, without any cracks, and it was very strong!

"This cement... was developed by my son. After adding water and solidifying, this cement is as strong as iron. The wall made of cement is so strong and difficult to break." Lao Zhang said.

Sturdy as iron!Unbreakable!
If this cement is used to build the city wall, wouldn't the city be impenetrable?Easy to defend but difficult to attack!
Li Shimin's eyes were deep, and he looked at the opposite wall thoughtfully.

I want this cement!

Fang and Du heard that it was their young master's masterpiece, so they couldn't help being even more curious, wanting to see this young master's true face!
"Old Zhang, is your son at home today?" Li Shimin couldn't wait to see Yang Zhuo.

As soon as Yang Zhuo was mentioned, Lao Zhang's face turned slightly red: "Yes, it's... that... It's not convenient to see you now, why don't I pass it on first."

"Okay, okay!"

Li Shimin secretly rejoiced, this Yang Zhuo must be making something good again, today is the right time!
