Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

Seeing the appearance of corn growing in the field for the first time, everyone seemed curious.

Li Lizhi was amazed while touching the corn whiskers.

The same is true for Li Shimin. He was filled with joy when he saw the corn growing so well.

This is not only food, but also hope, the hope of the king of a country, the hope of the people to have enough food, and the hope of a country's prosperity.

Whether it is a disaster, a war, or a normal survival, food from many places is needed.

These grains are the confidence and the reliance for soldiers to fight.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

If there is not enough food, the battle will be lost without fighting.

Li Shimin has been worrying about the emptiness of the treasury and the lack of food for the people.

At this moment, seeing the amazingly growing corn, Li Shimin was so excited that the muscles on his face were trembling.

God bless Datang!

God bless Datang.

In less than half a year, he harvested two staple foods, potatoes and corn.

With these two high-yield grains, the people will no longer be hungry, and the army can fight.

"Qin Yu, I thank you on behalf of the people of Tang Dynasty, thank you for providing corn and potatoes."

Qin Yu understood Li Shimin's feelings, and at the same time was very pleased. Li Shimin was indeed a good emperor who cared about the people just like the historical comments.

It is not exaggerated to comment that he is an emperor through the ages.

"Your Majesty is being polite. Qin Yu should thank Your Majesty for being willing to fight for future generations."

Qin Yu said with a smile.

At this moment, his admiration for Li Shimin increased a bit.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Li Shimin said sternly, "These are what I should do."

Done.

Qin Yu and Li Shimin looked at each other and smiled.

Li Tai came over after they finished talking, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you said the corn is ripe, how should I eat it? And I didn't see that it was edible?"

Li Tai was not as lucky as Li Shimin, he had never seen or eaten corn.

After hearing that it was edible, he looked at Qin Yu eagerly, with a greedy expression.

Qin Yu reached out and broke off a piece of corn from the corn stalk, then tore a hole from the position of the beard, pulled the two sides, and the golden corn kernels were exposed.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, no wonder it's called corn, but it really looks like topaz."

Li Tai took it and gnawed it.

Qin Yu quickly snatched it over, "What are you, how do you eat raw."

Qin Yu saw Li Lizhi on the side, and saw that she also looked expectant, so he said to Li Tai, "Go find some firewood, and I'll roast corn for you to eat."

"Okay, I'm going now."

As soon as he heard that Qin Yu wanted to roast corn, Li Tai couldn't even care about his status as a prince.

Pidianpidian ran out to find firewood.

Qin Yu's hands and feet were nimble, and Kaka broke a few more.

Li Shimin was heartbroken watching from the sidelines.

These are all seeds.

After eating, what to give to the people?
Seeing that Qin Yu wanted to break up, Li Shimin hurriedly stopped him.

"Enough is enough, just try something new, and keep the rest as seeds. When it becomes popular in the whole country, I don't care how you want to eat it, but it can't work now, it must be kept as seeds."

Li Shimin could see very clearly that there are many kernels on a single corn, and if one eats one, at least ten plants need to be planted less.

Qin Yu had seven or eight of them in his hand, and if counted, there would be dozens of them.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more distressed he became.

Qin Yu glanced at the corn in his hand, and then counted the number of people.

Li Shimin, Li Yuan, Li Daozong, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, Li Lizhi, and Fang Xuanling are already eight, plus myself and Shi Qingxuan.

Eight corns are obviously not enough.

So, under Li Shimin's distressed gaze, Qin Yu snapped off two more sticks.

"you……"

Li Shimin was heartbroken.

Qin Yu said with a smile: "Ten people, eight corns are not enough."

Li Shimin glanced at the people around him and nodded. Qin Yu had already said that, so what else could he say.

And it's really not enough.

But for ten corns, more than 100 plants are needed. If these grow into corns, the yield can be increased a lot.

Seeing Li Shimin's distressed expression, Qin Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this corn is double-cropped. As long as you let people cultivate it carefully, within two years, all the Tang Dynasty will be able to grow this kind of crop."

"Although I broke off ten stalks of corn, it's only about three stalks of corn. It seems that there is no need for you to feel distressed."

It's fine if Qin Yu doesn't say anything, but the more he talks about Li Shimin, the more he feels sorry for him. One corn plant grows three corns, and the one hundred plants will be three hundred corns.

Li Shimin felt his heart hurt even more.

Qin Yu smiled and didn't say anything else. Seeing that Li Tai had brought back the firewood, he squatted on the ground to light it, put the corn on a stick, and slowly put it by the fire to roast.

Seeing this, Shi Qingxuan followed Qin Yu's example and helped roast the corn.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling wandered around the field.

He wanted to see if all the corn in the fields looked like this.

The area of ​​the three acres of land is not very large, and it can be seen at a glance, but Li Shimin still wants to take a closer look.

After walking around the three-acre field, he and Fang Xuanling went into the cornfield and took a look around.

After confirming that all the corn was growing well, Li Shimin felt relieved.

the other side.

Qin Yu had already roasted the corn, and handed one of them to Li Lizhi, "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn it."

Li Lizhi took it shyly, and thanked her.

Qin Yu smiled, "Don't be so polite with me."

After speaking, he also ate.

Grilled corn and boiled corn are two completely different flavors.

Li Lizhi found that the boiled corn tasted sticky, sweet and soft.

The roasted corn does have a burnt aroma and is sweet, and it tastes better than boiled corn.

After taking a bite, Li Lizhi couldn't stop.

Regardless of shyness, he gnawed.

Seeing that Qin Yu gave Li Lizhi one, Li Tai thought that he would give him the other one, but Qin Yu started gnawing on it.

Suddenly look depressed.

"Brother-in-law, where's mine?"

"Your, bake it yourself!"

Qin Yu glanced at the corn on the ground and said.

Is it possible that he should bake it for him to eat?

Li Tai choked.

"Didn't you just say to roast corn for me?"

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and was taken aback, "Did I say that?"

Li Tai nodded, "Say, go find some firewood, and I'll roast corn for you."

"Oh? You said this. The first half of my sentence is for you, and the second half is for your sister."

Li Tai: "..." This is really bullying.

Glancing at the corn thrown on the ground, Li Tai looked puzzled, "Brother-in-law, I don't know how to roast!"

"If you don't know it, you have to learn."

"But……"

"It's nothing but, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you not work hard and not distinguish the five grains?"

"And don't you want to go sailing? If you can't even solve the problem of eating yourself, you may starve to death. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Seeing Li Tai's tangled face, not wanting to do anything, Qin Yu flickered.

Hearing Qin Yu mention sailing, Li Tai was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth, as if making up his mind, took a piece of corn by himself, and imitated Qin Yu's previous practice.

He used a stick to penetrate it, but he didn't use charcoal fire, but directly held it on the flame of the firewood and roasted it.

Seeing this, Qin Yu quickly stopped her and said, "That's not the case. You can't eat it because it smells like smoke!"
