Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 49
Tai Chi Temple.

Hundreds of officials go to the palace, and the court meeting remains the same.

Previously, the shortage of food and grass was unresolved, and all the courtiers present looked dignified and worried.

After thinking about it for two days, I had no clue, and Chaozhong Humerus was in a depressed mood, with his head downcast.

The entire Tai Chi Hall seemed to be clouded with darkness, extremely dull.

"Your Majesty is here."

Eunuch Rong's high-pitched voice pierced the silence and spread for a long time.

The officials put on their crowns and dressed up, respectfully and saluted.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years~"

Hahaha.

Refreshing laughter poured out from the side of the hall, and Li Shimin strode up to the dragon seat surrounded by court ladies.

Li Shimin waved his dragon sleeves neatly, and Li Shimin said loudly.

"Everyone loves you, don't be polite."

Many courtiers got up and stood up straight, looking at Li Shimin who was smiling on the dragon seat, quite puzzled.

Obviously one day ago, His Majesty had a sad face, but at this moment, it is like a happy event, and Longyan is very happy.

Is it possible that the problem of food and grass has been solved?
At the moment of doubt, the joyful voice of the emperor came from the dragon seat.

"My dear friends, the Tang Dynasty is full of calamities and disasters, and the heavens are especially merciful."

"Fortunately, a god has come into the world. The yield per mu is 25 shi. It is delicious and fruity. It is a good substitute for rice millet!"

"I, this time I have summoned all my lovers, and I am here to discuss the planting area."

hiss~
All the officials in the court looked at each other in dismay, sighing endlessly.

"Is there really such a fetish? The rice millet on the fertile soil can only be harvested for five stones, but this strange thing can be worth 25 stones?"

"As expected of a god, it can completely crush Misu! Could it be that this thing is really so magical?"

"If this is the case, wouldn't we be able to harvest the whole year if we planted it last season? Completely restore the loss of the Northland?"

"Isn't it? Such fetishes are really a blessing to the Tang Dynasty and the common people!"

The court hall gradually became noisy and boiling, and several veteran ministers were already in tears and congratulated each other.

The unexpected joy was too sudden, and Changsun Wuji was also flushed with joy.

Strutting out of the crowd, he cupped his hands towards the Dragon Seat, looking extraordinarily excited.

"The fetish that His Majesty said really opened the eyes of the besieged city!"

"It's just that I don't know where this strange object is? It's good for the old man to open his eyes and gain a sense of auspiciousness."

The words aroused the curiosity of many courtiers, the whispering stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at the figure of the dragon seat in unison.

The tiger's eyes swept across the curious eyes of the audience, and he waved his hand to signal for Eunuch Rong to show first, smiling without saying a word.

Not long after, Eunuch Rong, holding the silver plate in his hand, walked slowly, taking extra care with every step, as if he was afraid of falling such a strange thing.

Potatoes on yellow silk, like bright pearls, slowly appeared in front of the courtiers who stretched their necks.

The huge stature and the peculiar appearance attracted the attention of all the ministers, and there was a lot of discussion.

Li Shimin sat high on the Dragon Seat, his powerful voice overwhelmed the din of the court and slowly swayed away.

"The name of this thing is potatoes, and it is quite different from the common crops of Datang."

"Branches bloom on the soil, and bear fruit underground. What you love to see is not the biggest fruit."

"The way to eat is simple, it can be roasted or steamed, and it tastes delicious. I was lucky enough to taste one or two, and I still have a lot of aftertaste."

wow.

The whole court suddenly exploded,
"Mystery! It can surprise His Majesty, full of praise!"

"It's more than just the taste. Look at this head, I'm afraid three or two can make a meal. This time, Your Majesty has really discovered the most precious treasure in the world!"

"A strange thing is a strange thing after all. It can grow underground? Couldn't it be able to avoid the flood of migratory locusts?"

"Tsk tsk, I don't know who offered such a rare thing! I don't know who has such an opportunity to plant a magical thing at the top of the mansion!"

The entire crowd was full of suspicions about such magical things, and many merchants had their eyes sparkling and their hearts surging.

Gao Shilian's sad old face had already been stretched out, he pulled up his sleeves and gently weighed the potato, and slowly put it back with his eyes shining.

After a while, he stepped into the hall, stood side by side with Changsun Wuji, and cupped their hands.

"His Majesty."

"These fetishes are really extraordinary. The old minister can weigh their weight, and I only think it is worth half a bucket of rice."

"If this rare thing is planted, it will be able to reap a lot of money in the harvest year. If it continues to be popularized, there will be no worries about surplus food in the Tang Dynasty! The poor people will no longer go hungry, and the conquest army will not be afraid of expeditions!"

Hahaha.

The figure on the Dragon Throne laughed heartily, got up with support, and stood proudly at the head of the palace.

"What Shen Guogong said is true! But you guessed wrong, this mere one is only one of the five produced by one plant!"

"I intend to broadcast this fetish to the Great Tang. From then on, there will be no famine and no hungry people in my Great Tang!"

"The continuation of such great achievements will surely ensure the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty again."

boom.

The entire court was instantly lit up!
Can one plant have five such fetishes?
It seems that these twenty stones are definitely not empty words!

It's like it exists against the sky!
Surprised discussion lingered in the ears again, Changsun Wuji blushed, took a step forward, and suppressed the chaos in the hall with a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, I have a lot of fields, and there are even more farmers in the farm. Right now, the rice and millet are harvested. I don't know when these gods will sow the seeds?"

"I also hope that His Majesty will make it clear in advance that I will also let my ministers take care of a group of gods, sowing seeds for the benefit of our Great Tang and benefiting all people."

Businessmen have always had a keen sense of smell, and Changsun Wuji has already smelled a hint of money from such fetishes.

Even if it is for the benefit of all people, if it is popularized, by selling seeds, you can still make a lot of money!
The smile froze on Gao Shilian's excited old face, he turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji beside him, and secretly puckered the corners of his mouth.

This eldest grandson Wuji is really an old money fan!
The family owns half of the iron mines and salt mines in the Tang Dynasty, and they still want to make money here?
Displeasure flashed across his eyes, Gao Shilian glanced sideways at Changsun Wuji, and smiled while holding his beard.

"Wuji, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants like snakes."

"Datang Salt Mine, less than half of the iron mines have been acquired by the Changsun Mansion, presumably the entire mansion's servants have already been in a hurry, hands and feet are not resting."

"Plowing the fields is such a small matter, so don't worry about Mr. Zhao Guo."

Speaking of this, Gao Shilian took a step forward and saluted respectfully.

"His Majesty."

"There is just a piece of fertile soil on the old minister's village, which has been plowed tonight and is ready to sow wheat."

"I implore Your Majesty to allow this auspicious thing to spread in the mansion of the old minister, so as to benefit the imperial city and the people of the world."

Don't get too early!
If it was a donation of food this time, there must be no one from the courtiers present to say anything.

But this potato is different. Under the slogan of benefiting all people, it has gained fame, and at the same time, it can enjoy the gold and silver.
The two princes of the state, one civil and one military, are the first to beg for seeds. How can the other humerus ministers sit still?

All of a sudden, the court was boiling again, and many important officials stood in the hall, imploring His Majesty to bestow potato seeds.

In just a short moment, there were already many hands-on figures in the court hall.

Looking down at the chaotic appearance of the court, Li Shimin's heart was surging and he was very happy.

Xiao Yingying waved her arms, across the officials, and said loudly.

"My dear friends, don't panic. Potato seeds are limited, and every important minister in the court has a share."

"It can be planted when the weather is slightly cooler, and the harvest will be harvested next year. Together, it can catch up with the marching expedition."

"They all donated two boxes of treasures to the Duke of Tudou, a hundred pieces of silk and satin, and were honored with the title of Guardian of the World."

After finishing speaking, he waved his dragon sleeves and walked towards the side hall with his hands behind his back.

"Everyone, go back to the government to prepare the fields, the Si Nong Temple will distribute the seedlings soon."

In the noisy court hall, the only person looked at Li Shimin's back, with a cloud of sadness floating on his face...
