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

Chapter 21 Eat Raw Potatoes, Dai Zhou, You Are Going to Remove the Fire

Dai Zhou came to Chu Palace full of hope.

But after seeing Li You, Dai Zhou became angry.

Dai Zhou went to Shangshu Province early in the morning, and came here after handing over the work in his hand.

It was almost noon when we came.

However, when he arrived at Prince Chu's Mansion, he did not see Li You for the first time. Instead, he sat there for nearly half an hour accompanied by the housekeeper.

After Dai Zhou filled his stomach with water, Li Youcai leisurely appeared in front of him.

In the morning, Li You went out to do good deeds as usual.

Things were a little tricky today, so Li You came back a little late.

"Why didn't King Chu report to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Dai Zhou suppressed his anger forcibly and questioned him directly!
Li You raised his head, glanced at Dai Zhou, and said leisurely: "My lord, don't be so angry, this king just went out to do something good. What's wrong?"

puff!
Dai Zhou almost vomited blood in anger!

Now the backlog of official documents of the Ministry of Accounts is almost piled up like a mountain. It is good that you are the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, and you are still in the mood to go out and do good things.

If you go to the Ministry of Accounts carefully, you are doing a great deed!

Dai Zhou was also a veteran of the three dynasties. He had seen a prince who was incompetent and incompetent, but he had never seen such a shameless one!

Dai Zhou felt that his anger was about to be uncontrollable!
It's also thanks to Dai Zhou's age, when he was young, he might have already made a move.

He is really going to explode!
At this moment, Dai Zhou wanted to leave, even if he went back to Shangshu Province, it would be better than wasting time here!
Because he felt that it was absolutely impossible for Li You to grow potatoes with an yield of [-] catties per mu!

"Are you sent by my father?"

Li You ignored Dai Zhou's anger and asked with a smile.

"Yes! Your Majesty asked me to assist you and help you promote potatoes! But I think there must be some misunderstanding"

Dai Zhou maintained his final calmness and said through gritted teeth.

Seeing Dai Zhou's appearance, Li You felt distressed for no reason.

【Father did the same, he pointed at the old man and bullied him.Forget it, let me help him. 】

"Lord Dai, Father is right, come with me."

Li You didn't say anything to Dai Zhou, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Dai Zhou nodded in agreement, and immediately followed behind Li You.

Now that it's here, let's find out what this so-called potato is all about.

When he came to the backyard, Li You jumped directly into the ground, and started digging in the ground regardless of whether his clothes would be stained or not.

Soon, a potato plant appeared in front of Dai Zhou.

Li You had good luck with this first plant, and gathered more than a dozen potatoes, large and small.

This time, Dai Zhou's eyes were as big as a gong, and his eyes would not miss any of Li You's movements.

At the same time, I was silently calculating the yield of potatoes.

A single seedling can produce more than a dozen potatoes!
These potatoes are as big as a fist and as small as an egg!
This is how much production ah!
Based on the calculation of this plant, the output of this potato is more than three thousand catties, and it is not impossible to reach four thousand catties.

The anger that was originally on Dai Zhou's face disappeared in an instant!
Instead, shock and surprise!

"Haha! Your Majesty, you are right! You are not deceiving me! I will be famous for these things!"

Thinking of this, Dai Zhou didn't care about his official uniform anymore, he also jumped into the field and came to Li You's side.

"King Chu, is this a potato?"

While speaking, Dai Zhou picked up a potato cleaned by Li You and observed it carefully.

"Well, this is it. We are lucky that there are a lot of them on this plant. Generally speaking, there are seven or eight potatoes."

Li You nodded and explained.

"Seven or eight, that's a lot! There must be three thousand per mu."

Dai Zhou was already grinning from ear to ear. Whether it was three thousand or four thousand, it was far more than the current grain production.

He had already seen three thousand catties of potatoes, and now he wanted to see if they could be eaten.

Dai Zhou wiped the potato in his hand clean on his official uniform.

After taking a bite, he used his mouth to bite off the skin attached to the outer layer.

He bit off a large piece of fruit and kept chewing it in his mouth.

"Master Dai, these potatoes cannot be eaten raw!"

Li You hurriedly stopped him.

This Dai Zhou is old, and he probably has a bad stomach, so eating raw potatoes will make him bloated.

However, Dai Zhou didn't seem to hear it at all, and when he chewed a few more crazily, he swallowed it in one gulp.

"It doesn't matter, this potato has a special flavor when eaten raw, the juice is very sweet and very fresh!"

Dai Zhou said happily.

At this moment, Dai Zhou looked at the mud-covered child next to him, and felt that his smile was so innocent, and his eyes were full of wisdom.

If it wasn't for God's blessing, how could it be possible to cultivate potatoes with a yield of [-] jin per mu.

Suddenly, Dai Zhou remembered what Li You said when he met him.

"It's hard for such a child who thinks about doing good things every day. I actually blamed him just now! It must be because he spends all his time on these things that he has no time to take care of the affairs of the household department. This child has suffered for no reason. How much criticism!"

"I also have a grandson. If my grandson encountered such a situation, would he still be able to talk and laugh like this?"

Thinking of this, Dai Zhou's eyes turned red.

"Master Dai, is there something wrong with this potato?"

Li You saw that Dai Zhou didn't move suddenly, and his eyes were a little red, so he asked.

"No, no problem. I'm happy. God bless Datang!"

Dai Zhou wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, nodded excitedly and said.

"It's good that there is no problem, and this king is relieved. Afterwards, you will have to trouble Mr. Dai for the promotion of Tudou!"

Li You stood up and patted the dirt in his hands.

"Leave the matter of promoting potatoes to the old minister! The old minister will definitely handle it perfectly for the prince!"

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I, Dai Zhou, will go through fire and water, and I will do anything!"

Dai Zhou was extremely excited at the moment, if he didn't still hold potatoes in his hand, he would have wanted to knock one to Li You.

At this moment, he has greatly changed his view of Li You, from a prince who was a fool, to a pillar of the country who is dedicated to the people and works hard!

"Okay!" Li You nodded his head heavily, "Then I will trouble Lord Dai with this matter! If there are any missing items or personnel, just write a memorial to His Majesty!"

Li You was also very satisfied to be able to hand over the promotion of Tudou.

Then he asked Sakura to take out a booklet and said, "There are instructions on how to grow potatoes in the booklet! You can bring more people here, and first dig out a thousand catties of potatoes as seeds..."

Li You explained in detail once that he planned to deal with the Tudou matter once, so that it would be best for Dai Zhou not to bother him again.

Although Dai Zhou didn't understand Li You's original intention, Li You's unreserved teaching made him admire the prince who was just seven years old even more.

"Having this prince is a blessing to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty resisted all opinions and appointed the King of Chu, which is also the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty!"

Afterwards, Dai Zhou led his men to dig potatoes, and was busy until night at the Prince of Chu's mansion.

Li You rubbed his eyes and finally lay down on his own bed.

However, he felt that he was picked up by Sakura just as he closed his eyes.

"My lord, it's time to prepare for court!"
