Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

That night, Pei Ju stormed into Chu Palace angrily, and the news that he was thrown out later spread throughout Chang'an.

Suddenly, the entire city of Chang'an was in an uproar!
Countless carrier pigeons soared into the sky, flying to different directions of Datang.

The members of the major clans reported everything that happened in Chang'an to their patriarchs, and Li You's name also appeared in the eyes of the patriarchs of the major families through these family letters.

However, for Li You, the major families are still relatively indifferent. In their view, Li You is still a mediocre prince who is not favored. He is just used by Li Shimin as a pawn to test the attitude of each family.

In the eyes of the aristocratic family, the counterattack of the Li family's clan and the Hedong Pei family is not something a child can resist, and the grand court meeting two days later will beat him back to his original form.

However, the shock in Chang'an did not affect Li You.

The next day, after waking up, he went to Dongshi to do good deeds again.

With Xiao Sakura around, he will not be able to escape from the Grand Court Meeting two days later.

Now that it's here, let's settle down, and Li You will no longer worry about this matter.

Thinking that there might never be such a carefree life in the future, Li You cherishes the good times now.

However, Li You's good life only lasted one day. In the early morning of the third day, someone knocked on the gate of Chu Palace early in the morning.

Although Li You didn't go to the Ministry of Accounts to report, the people from the Ministry of Accounts still came to the door.

This time it was another old man, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou, after Tang Taizong ascended the throne, moved to Dali Shaoqing, Prince Zuo Shuzi.He was loyal and upright by nature, he made a direct remonstrance when he committed a crime, and moved to Shangshu Zuo Cheng.

Shangshu Zuo Cheng is Zuoxiang Du Ruhui's assistant. Although his official position is comparable to that of the six ministers, his right to speak is comparable to that of the six ministers.

And Dai Zhou's appearance here is also due to Li Shimin's efforts behind the scenes.

When Li Shimin first came to the throne, Dai Zhou proposed that the imperial court would rely on the national treasury to allocate grain for disaster relief whenever there was a flood or drought.

Dai Zhou can be said to be one of the rare six officials who advocate vigorously developing agriculture.

Therefore, when Li Shimin was about to send someone to promote Tudou, he was the first to think of him.

When Li Shimin asked Li Junxian to call Dai Zhou, he was busy with the affairs of the household department.

Now Li You, Minister of the Household Department, is gone, and Pei Ju, the former Minister of the Household Department, complains that he is at home, and another Minister of the Household Department is far away in Hebei.

All matters were directly pressed to Shangshu Province, the superior unit of the sixth department.

Du Ruhui was originally in poor health, but now he was even weaker, so more things were unknowingly on Dai Zhou's body.

As soon as he heard that Li Junxian was looking for him, Dai Zhou was furious, but when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned him, he hurriedly asked: "General Li, Your Majesty is in a hurry to see me, is there something urgent? ".

"Your Majesty is looking for you, don't care if it's urgent or not! You will know when you arrive at Qinzheng Palace!"

Li Junxian rolled his eyes and said.

As soon as Li Junxian said this, Dai Zhou became more and more angry and said: "Just leave, I just want to ask His Majesty for an explanation for this mess."

So Dai Zhou appeared in front of Li Shimin full of anger.

"Dai Qing's family, why do you look like this? Are you angry with me?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"I don't dare! It's just that if His Majesty is fine, I still have to go back to Shangshu Province. There are too many things in the household department!"

Dai Zhou didn't give Li Shimin a good look at all.

Regarding Dai Zhou's attitude, Li Shimin also smiled wryly.

'What a life I've had.Several courtiers, each with a stronger temper than the other, will join people at every turn and try to persuade them. '

'Go to the child's side, enjoy the family happiness, and then be bullied by the child, I am really miserable! '

Sighing is sighing, Li Shimin still hasn't forgotten the purpose of finding Dai Zhou.

"Dai Qing's family, the Household Department will let the King of Chu take his responsibility. This time I have summoned you because I have something important to say."

"I remember that you have been looking for new food crops. I wonder if there has been any progress recently?"

Dai Zhu was stunned, he never expected that Li Shimin would ask him this question at this time.

But then he shook his head with self-blame and said: "It is too difficult to develop new food crops. I haven't found a suitable new food crop in the past ten years."

Speaking of which, Dai Zhou has made a lot of attempts, but the result is either that the yield is not high, or the growth period is too long, or the fruit produced is completely inedible.

"However, I will not give up. I believe that the world is so big that I will be able to find better food crops!"

Dai Zhou knelt down and said solemnly.

"Thank you for your hard work. Get up and talk. I wonder if Dai Qing's family has heard of a food crop called potatoes when they were researching?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile on his face.

"Potatoes, I have never heard of them, what is the yield per mu?"

Dai Zhou stood up with a dazed expression.

"Not much, about three thousand catties!"

Li Shimin said lightly.

boom!
Dai Zhou suddenly felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he was about to lose his footing.

But soon, Dai Zhou shook his head.

It is almost a myth that the yield of grain crops is three thousand catties per mu.

"Why, Dai Qing's family doesn't believe my words?"

Li Shimin saw the shock and doubt on Dai Zhou's face, but he smiled even more proudly.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't believe it, it's just that the yield of three thousand catties per mu is too unbelievable!"

Dai Zhou quickly shook his head and said.

Don't say that Dai Zhou didn't believe it anymore, even Li Shimin himself didn't believe it when he heard about the potato production in Li You's heart for the first time.

This doubt persisted until he came to the backyard of Prince Chu's Mansion and saw the potato seedlings with his own eyes, and he had no choice but to believe it!

It wasn't until Li Shimin ate the baked potatoes after the meal that he completely believed that this new crop with a yield of [-] jin per mu was a food crop.

"I keep my word! Can I still lie to you?"

Li Shimin straightened his face, pretending to be serious and said.

"Can your majesty tell me where this potato is now?"

Dai Zhou found out that what Li Shimin said did not seem to be a lie, and suddenly his heart became hot, so he asked to see him.

"Tudou is in the Chu Palace. Tomorrow, you can go to the Chu Palace!"

Li Shimin didn't hesitate and gave the order directly.

"Prince Chu's mansion, this potato is the King of Chu..."

For a moment, Dai Zhou seemed to think of something.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, "This potato is carefully cultivated by the King of Chu! After you go tomorrow, you will be responsible for assisting the King of Chu to promote the potato!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Dai Zhou gasped!
He really didn't expect that this potato would be cultivated by Chu King Li You!

Dai Zhou felt that he seemed to understand why His Majesty suddenly asked Li You to be the Secretary of the Household Department.

"Okay! Then Weichen will go to Chu Palace early tomorrow morning!"

This time Dai Zhou agreed very simply.

After all, this is a grain crop with an yield of [-] jin per mu!Once it is promoted to the whole country through his hands, it will definitely have a strong mark in the history books!
To be famous in history is Dai Zhou's greatest wish, and now the opportunity is in front of him, and he must firmly hold it in his hands.

That's why there was the famous scene where Dai Zhou appeared in front of Li You early in the morning.
