Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 83 The First Planting of Potatoes in Datang
Wang Yin was too lazy to continue arguing with the system, and directed the group of yamen servants to do their work.

Wang Yin selected an area of ​​about three mu of land, and asked the government servants to dig out the previously planted crops and throw them aside, and then re-turned the land.A trench of 50-60 cm and a depth of 10 cm was made.

Anyway, it's just a trial planting, and even the farm tools are useless, just use a waist knife to deal with it casually and it's over.

Seeing Wang Yin's perfunctory attitude, Li Shimin and Li Yuan felt even more unreliable in their hearts. . .

After the land was settled, Wang Yin walked to the open space beside him and waved out the seeds of the three acres of land.

"Is this a potato?" Li Shimin curiously took a potato and began to study it. It is difficult for people to associate the yellow and earthy things in front of him with the yield of two thousand catties per mu.

"En." Wang Yin responded casually, took a yamen servant's waist knife and cut the potato into several small pieces.

"See, the cut pieces can't be smaller than this, or they won't grow." Wang Yin raised the potato pieces in his hand and said to a group of still shocked yamen servants.

A group of yamen servants were still shocked by Wang Yin's ability to pick things from the air. Hearing Wang Yin's words, he slowly changed his mind, nodded numbly, and started cutting potatoes with his waist knife.

A few careless people accidentally cut their hands and shivered from the pain. Only then did they regain their senses and concentrate on cutting.

The members of the Li family also started cutting for freshness.

Of course, Empress Changsun had no choice but to give up under the strong resistance of everyone.

The emperor's family has personally done it, and Cao Wenxi dare not be idle!
So Wang Yin and Empress Changsun appeared on the field, and everyone took potatoes and cut them seriously. . .

After cutting the pieces, Wang Yin demonstrated how to plant them and then continued to be a melon-eating crowd.

"Father... Aye, you don't have to go to work like this yourself." Li Shimin hurriedly dissuaded Li Yuan from rolling up his sleeves.

"I'm not that old yet!" Li Yuan snapped back at him with one sentence.

After all, it is immortal grain with an yield of two thousand catties per mu. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't plant it myself?

Although Li Yuan has abdicated, he is still Li Shimin's father, isn't he?He is the biggest here, and no one dares to stop him when he speaks.

Seeing everyone planting potatoes in the field with their buttocks pouting seriously, Wang Yinsao said: "Labor is glorious, noble, and sacred! Labor creates value, labor creates happiness, and labor creates the world. Labor creates the future!"

Everyone couldn't help but rolled their eyes when they heard the words; is it really appropriate for you to say such things in an open and lazy manner?

Empress Changsun looked at Wang Yin's funny look, covered her mouth and let out a chuckle.

"Auntie, you look so pretty when you smile." Wang Yin gave her a thumbs up.

"General Wang has won the award." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

In my heart, I complained fiercely about Wang Yin's "auntie". . .

To be honest, Empress Changsun is only in her twenties now, and in Wang Yin's opinion, it is the best age for a woman. She is dressed in ancient clothes with an elegant and luxurious temperament, which really makes people's eyes shine.

For the beautiful young lady, Wang Yin naturally didn't mind complimenting her.

Although Wang Yin just praised the beautiful things instinctively without any other meanings, it's just that some people don't think so. . .

After all, Wang Yin didn't deliberately lower his volume when he spoke, didn't he.

Li Shimin's face was flushed, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly. . .

What to do, do you want to go up and work hard? . . .

Of course, Li Shimin just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, Wang Yin is usually not close to women, so naturally it was just a sincere compliment.

But Li Shimin still felt a little weird. . .

After everyone finished planting, Wang Yin thoughtfully took out a large bucket of water and a dozen paper cups.

"This water is sweet." Li Shimin drank his saliva and sighed, "Now that the potatoes have been planted, what should we pay attention to?"

"I'll give you a notice later." Wang Yin casually put the used paper cups into the system space.

After returning to Shangshui Village, Wang Yin walked around the village for a while, and had to sigh: The life of the ancient people was really unreal.

"Old Li, are the people in Tang Dynasty so poor?" Wang Yin asked suddenly.

I feel that the villagers of Shangshui Village are worse than those in the mountain village where I was born.

Although the food eaten by the people in Kaoshan Village is also very bad, at least they look normal, but most of the people in Shangshui Village are sallow and emaciated, looking like they have been malnourished for a long time.Those bear children even looked a year or two younger than their actual age, and they obviously couldn't keep up with their development.

"This Shangshui Village is actually considered good." Li Shimin didn't know why Wang Yin asked this suddenly, but he still answered: "At least they still have food to eat."

"There are still people in Datang who can't eat?" Wang Yin suddenly found that the situation in Datang seemed to be much more serious than he thought.

I originally thought that the people of Tang Dynasty just had poor food, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"The ones near Chang'an are better. In some places, if there is a natural disaster and no crops, people can't go on and have to leave their hometowns, so they become refugees." Li Shimin sighed: "They travel long distances just to find someone who can survive. There is a place to eat. And more people died of illness or starvation on the way.”

"It seems that the people of Tang Dynasty are really miserable." Wang Yin nodded subconsciously.

"It's always been like this, but the degree is different." Li Shimin's hands holding Wang Yin's arm trembled slightly: "Is the yield of this potato really as high as you said?"

"It should be about the same." Wang Yin thought for a while and said: "Actually, the season suitable for planting has passed, but fortunately, it is just a trial planting, and the output will be slightly less than normal."

Seeing how excited Li Shimin is now, it's better not to tell him the truth. It would be bad if something happens after getting too excited. . .

Cao Wenxi was startled secretly when he heard the words. Hearing what the two of them meant, the yield of the thing called 'potato' planted just now is very high?

It should be!Haven't you seen His Majesty coming in person?Uncle will never deceive the king!

Thinking of this, Cao Wenxi couldn't help but get excited. : I take good care of these potatoes. When the time comes to harvest, don't say a big achievement, at least I can make a good impression in front of Your Majesty, right?
Cao Wenxi himself was not from an aristocratic family, and being the magistrate of Lantian County was almost the limit for him.

Although he is a good official, this does not conflict with his desire to climb a few steps further.

Isn't now a ready-made opportunity?

Thinking of this, Cao Wenxi looked at Wang Yin eagerly.

Wang Yin immediately felt something strange, and when he turned his head and met Cao Wenxi's philosophical gaze, he subconsciously moved two steps to the side. . .

Looking at the crowd around him, Wang Yin suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart: Whether it was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the officials, or these suffering people, he had never really connected them with himself before.

I am always in a semi-dissociated state, overlooking all this with a superior attitude.

And in their own eyes, they are always just some ancient bumpkins, nothing more.

It's just that with more contact, this mentality began to slowly change.

Just like the gregariousness and sociality of the people mentioned by the system and myself.

Although one's own body is strictly speaking not human, the mind is still human after all, isn't it?
Maybe, I really should do something?

At this moment, Wang Yin felt that the surrounding images were frozen again, and the whole world suddenly spun, and the speed became faster and faster, and finally turned into nothingness.

And Wang Yin stood in the center of this nothingness, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and slowly stretched out his arms.

Obviously, this guy's secondary disease has reappeared. . . . . .
