Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 377 Planting Potatoes Together
In the shop, the carpenter's eyes were in a daze, looking at the drawings that Li Min had given him, and he was at a loss for words.

"I would like to ask you, can you make it?"

The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, and his words awakened the dreamer, but made the carpenter's body tremble suddenly.

Dangji saw the carpenter nodding his head with determination on his face.

"Of course!"

"His Royal Highness's drawing is so detailed, if I can't make it again, it will dishonor my reputation."

The carpenter stared at the drawing carefully for a few more times, and then frowned.

only……

The carpenter was full of doubts and spoke.

"Your Highness, I remember that the plow used to plow the land is long and straight, but I have never seen it like this."

Liu Po ​​also said in a fit of stitches.

"That's right, the Quyuanli that His Highness mentioned is much more complicated, but I don't know how to use it."

Hearing this, Li Yin couldn't help laughing, and then explained.

"The long straight plow is too impractical. Master Liu has personally experienced it in the past few days."

"The curved shaft plow that I asked you to make is quite different. The plow body can swing when you operate it. It is rich and convenient for deep plowing, and it is light and flexible, which is convenient for turning."

Li Min's eloquent talk made Liu Po ​​look as heavy as a carpenter.

Seeing that the two of them were listening very seriously, they never expected that Qu Yuanli had so many magical features.
Li Yin smiled, but it was far from over.

"Based on the original, Quyuanli has added a plow board and a plow construction. If you push the plow board, the plow arrow will go down, and the plow share will go deeper into the soil."

"If you lift the plow and make the arrow of the plow go upward, the plowshare will enter the soil shallowly, so you can adapt to deep or shallow plowing."

"And the plow wall can not only break up the soil, but also push the plowed soil to one side, so that the common people can save a lot of energy when using it."

After Li Min finished speaking, his mouth felt dry, but the carpenter was so surprised that he didn't even react to pour him a glass of water.

"Your Highness is truly a god!" Liu Po ​​couldn't help but admire.

The carpenter trembled and knelt down in front of Li Yin anxiously.

"Your Highness created such a thing, why should the people of Yizhou worry about winter!"

The carpenter was overwhelmed with gratitude, and he is also from Yizhou. At this moment, he was really grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yin laughed lightly, and asked the carpenter to hurry up, and he would come to pick it up tomorrow.

The carpenter should guarantee it.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the villain will make this Quyuanli even if he doesn't sleep all night!"

so best!
Li Yin was very happy, so he left the carpenter's wages.

Then he turned around and looked at Liu Po ​​and said.

"Master Liu, please come with me to the treasury."

Although Liu Po ​​didn't know what Li Min was planning, he agreed without any hesitation, and the two of them passed by soon.

Seeing Li Yin carrying out a bag of things with excitement on his face, they all fell to the ground, and some potatoes rolled back and forth on the ground.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Surprised on Liu Po's face, he took a potato casually and sniffed it lightly, only to find that the vegetable was full of water and had a strong earthy smell.

"This is a potato, something you can eat when cooked."

Li Min smiled softly, then took a potato in his hand and looked at it carefully.

But he didn't notice Liu Po's surprised eyes, staring at the potatoes all over the floor and screaming in shock.

"Is this food edible?" he said in a daze.

Li Yin nodded, then told Liu Po ​​how to eat the potatoes carefully.

Then he smiled mysteriously.

"Master Liu, to tell you the truth, this thing is the key to whether the people of Yizhou can survive this year smoothly."

Li Yin couldn't be more clear in his heart that relying on the grain transferred from various places is not a long-term solution after all, only the fields in Yizhou can have a harvest.

But today's fertile farmland in Yizhou has been destroyed, young laborers have been scattered, and it takes time and effort to grow other things, and it doesn't yield much, which is just a drop in the bucket for the disaster situation in Yizhou as a whole.

At this time, potatoes are easy to grow, and the advantages of high yield are very important. After Li Yin finished speaking, Liu Po's eyes immediately lit up.

"Your Highness, you mean light and handy, so how should this thing be grown?"

Liu Po ​​was very curious, but he knew how important it would be for potatoes to be widely sown in Yizhou, as Li Yin said.

Li Min immediately laughed.

"Master Liu, let's see."

As Li Min spoke, he took out a small knife and cut the potatoes in his hand along some of the pits on them.

"Master Liu, you don't need to throw the whole potato into the soil for planting, you just need to divide it into many small pieces like this king."

Li Yin pointed to the potholes, and some germs could be seen with the naked eye, which is where the potatoes will take root and sprout in the future.

Hearing this, Liu Po ​​was extremely shocked, so he widened his eyes and tried it.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, this single potato can produce a lot, which is really a good thing!"

"I will see all the potatoes in the treasury cut into pieces tomorrow. I am just waiting for the Quyuan plow to be made, and I will personally go and demonstrate it for you."

After Li Min said this, Liu Po ​​nodded heavily, and when he saw a potato in his hand, he couldn't put it down.

"Your Highness, just rest assured, this matter is related to whether the people of Yizhou can fill their stomachs, and I will definitely do well."

Li Min felt relieved now.

the next day……

Li Yin didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to the carpenter's place, but was very pleasantly surprised when he saw Qu Yuanli at the door.

"The master is really good, this is it!" Li Yin asked someone to move Quyuanli to the field on the outskirts of the city.

The carpenter looked excited, no matter what he wanted to go with Li Yin to see how the Quyuanli he had built would work.

Li Yin didn't stop him, but saw Liu Po ​​rushing over in a hurry, and there were soldiers driving the carriage behind him.

"Your Highness, it's a good thing that the officer did not disgrace his life."

Liu Po ​​cupped his hands, with a smile on his face, and saw that the carriage behind him was full of potato seeds, but they took a lot of effort to cut them out.

"In this way, the people of Yizhou will no longer have anything to worry about."

Li Min burst out laughing and asked everyone to follow him out of the city.

In the field, the people looked at what Li Min brought with curiosity and gathered around them one after another.

"Your Highness, can this thing really plow the land?"

"And what kind of seeds are pulled on this cart, I've never seen it before."

The people asked about it one after another, and when they saw Li Min's gentle smile, he explained the benefits of planting potatoes.

As for the use of Quyuanli, there is no rush.

"Everyone, don't worry, I will show you personally." After Li Yin finished speaking, he asked Liu Po ​​to help him.

As a result, Liu Po ​​followed Li Min carrying a basket full of potato seeds.
