Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 22 Water can carry a boat and capsize it
Soon, the inner guards of Tiance Mansion, each carrying a basket of potatoes, filed in and placed more than a dozen baskets of potatoes on the hall.

The officials all looked curious as they looked at the unattractive potatoes, which were all gray and stained with fresh soil.

"This is a new crop? It's still soiled, can it be eaten? Just kidding!"

"The amount is quite large. Is this the output of one acre of land? Looking at it this way, it can really bluff people!"

"Don't be kidding, Zhao Wang can have that ability? Didn't he say that he sleeps at home every day..."

Cen Wenwen sneered in his heart when he heard the discussion of the officials, and got Li Shimin's approval, and said suddenly.

"My lords, this is a new crop cultivated by King Zhao. It is called potatoes, and now I personally go to the field to plant it every day!"

"After the potato seedlings are planted and mature, there will be at least seven or eight potatoes hanging under each seedling, which is about ten kilograms."

"As for the field I tried to plant, at least one mu of land can plant more than [-] potato seedlings."

"My lords, you can do the math. I just said that the yield per mu is [-] jin. Does it mean to deceive you lords?"

Most of the courtiers present were proficient in arithmetic, and they could calculate the output with just a casual silent calculation, and all of them suddenly changed their expressions.

"Hiss... is this true? Three thousand catties per mu is still the least, which is too scary!"

"Can this thing really replace the staple food? Can it really be eaten? How to eat it?"

"Why have I never heard of such a fetish before? If this is to promote planting, wouldn't it be..."

The facts were before our eyes, and the ministers couldn't help but not believe it, especially the important ministers such as Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling who were the most shocked.

They all firmly believe that Zhao Wang Li Fu is a representative figure of waste, but now it seems that it seems to be a slap in the face.

Li Fu noticed that more and more eyes fell on him, and suddenly felt that his whole body was covered with insects, and his face was uncomfortable.

[Fuck, labor and management don't want to be so high-profile, Cen Wenwen hurt me, so what to watch, what's so good about it! 】

[Cen Wenwen is an idiot, what does he want to do by mentioning potatoes in a good manner, and even bringing potatoes to the hall? 】

【Damn it, if I knew it, I would just beat that old bastard Wei Zheng up, it's all the bastard's fault! 】

[The people are water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat and overturn it. As long as you take good care of the people, even if you face the sky full of spittle, I will do it myself! 】

[No matter what Wei Tongzi says, he won't lose a catty of meat, I don't believe that the two old bastards Li can really exile me! 】

[Hey, it seems like being exiled is not a bad idea. How about giving Wei Zheng a good beating now...]

Hiss... Li Shimin gasped again, and looked at Li Fu, as if he was seeing someone appearing divine!

The people are water, and the king is like a boat. The water can carry a boat and overturn it. As long as you take good care of the people, and face the spittle all over the sky, I will do it myself!
"My son Li Fu, you are truly a god!" Li Shimin suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, trembling all over.

At this time Wei Zheng saw Tudou, although he was very surprised, but for the dignity of his doctor Yushi, he remained stubborn.

"Potatoes may be able to change my fortune in the Tang Dynasty, but how can this be compared to King Zhao's failure to obey the palace rules?"

"The Great Tang established the country by law, and rewards will be given for meritorious deeds, but punishments must be imposed for demerits. King Zhao did not abide by the palace rules and disrespected His Majesty, so he deserves to be punished heavily!"

Wei Zheng held his head high and his chest high, with a firm posture. Seeing this, all the ministers cast admiring glances at Wei Zheng.

That is Wei Zheng, others will accept it when they see it, only a rigid guy like Wei Zheng will still want to die!

"Enough!" Li Shimin turned from the dragon case and stood with his hands behind his back, "The people are water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. My son is dedicated to cultivating potatoes, etc. for the well-being of the world. What's wrong with being a fetish and not having time to study palace rules?"

"If Doctor Yu Shi must be held accountable, then I should be held accountable!"

"In addition, from today onwards, I have granted permission for King Zhao to enter the palace, but he does not abide by the palace rules. Who has any objections?"

Buzz - Li Shimin's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding above the main hall, and even Li Fu fell asleep instantly.

It's not because Li Shimin gave him permission not to abide by the palace rules, but because of Li Shimin's first words just now.

[The people are water, and the king is like a boat. The saying that water can carry a boat can also overturn it. It seems that it didn’t come out at this time, did it?How did Li Er meet? 】

[It's incredible, could it be because of me that Li Er suppressed this in advance? 】

Li Fu was puzzled, and Li Shimin laughed secretly when he heard Li Fu's heartfelt voice.

And the officials were also shocked by Li Shimin's words, their glasses dropped all over the place, especially Wei Zheng, who could hardly control himself!

"The people are water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat and overturn it!" These words kept echoing in Wei Zheng's ears, making him unable to calm down for a long time.

In fact, Wei Zheng has always known that it is not good for him to always be admonishing him. The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is a problem that he has been thinking about all the time, but he has never been able to figure it out.

But now when he heard Li Shimin's words just now, Wei Zheng suddenly realized.

Yes, there is no triple relationship between the ruler and the people, only the relationship between the ruler and the people, and the ministers are also the people.

The people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Such a metaphor is really appropriate. Wei Zheng suddenly regretted his stubbornness just now, and suddenly he had a calculation in his heart, and he kowtowed obediently.

"Your Majesty's words are thought-provoking. Zhao Wang has worked hard for the well-being of the people. It should be so. It is my minister Meng Lang!"

Wei Zheng took the initiative to admit his counsel and stopped admonishing him, and Li Shimin was suddenly happy.

The ministers were also very surprised when they heard Wei Zheng's words, but Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others were shocked by Li Shimin, who actually granted Li Fu to be exempted from the palace rules, this kind of favor is too great!
Even the prince Li Chengqian had never received such special treatment. It was clearly to elevate Li Fu's status to a level higher than that of Li Chengqian.

Changsun Wuji was silent, his face was gloomy, but Li Chengqian couldn't restrain his anger and was about to go out to question him.

Changsun Wuji saw that this was not good, so he quickly grabbed Li Chengqian, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? Is this a place where you can be impulsive? Stand up, you are still the prince!"

Hearing his uncle's words, Li Chengqian suddenly calmed down, gritted his teeth and stood still.

Li Shimin saw that all the officials had calmed down and returned to the dragon chair, but Li Fu was still in a lazy posture, turning a blind eye to all the eyes projected from around him.

[Hehe, I was overwhelmed by Li Er's old bastard. It seems that the people are water, and the king is like a boat. The words that water can carry a boat and overturn it can really scare people. calmed down. 】

[Li Er still has something, after all, he is an emperor through the ages, and he can say this famous sentence through the ages casually. 】

【Oh, I'm so sleepy. I was tense just now. I must have lost a lot of brain cells. I'm even sleepier now! 】
