I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

But the reason why Li Mu dared to guarantee more than 50 stones was because he had a system.

The system rewards him with something every day.

He must have obtained such things as fertilizer.

Therefore, even if the soil is not fertile, he has the confidence to guarantee the yield per mu.

"By the way, little man, how long does it take for a season of potatoes?" Changsun Wuji asked suddenly.

He didn't pay attention to this question before, and only now remembered to ask this question.

"It can be as fast as more than a month, and as slow as three months!"

Li Mu's potatoes are produced systematically and are early-maturing varieties, which can be harvested for a season in about 90 days at the latest.

Among them, some very early-maturing varieties only need about 50 days from emergence to harvest.

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji said, "Hiss..."

Obviously, it was the sound of gasping for air again.

"Xiao Lang-jun, are you serious?"

"What are you doing to lie to you?"

So Li Mu sat down, and slowly gave Li Shimin and the other three popular science about the three varieties of potatoes: early, middle and late.

And even a series of factors such as soil climate and chemical fertilizers have been popularized.

Even the greenhouse technology has been said.

The three of Li Shimin were stupefied for a moment.

Especially Li Shimin, his eyes were shining brightly, and his heart was full of comfort.

Originally, he would be satisfied as long as his expectations for this brain-damaged son reached the average level of ordinary people.

But after getting along these days, he found that this son is not easy!

At this time, Li Shimin was undoubtedly secretly happy.

The kind that is so dark that it hurts internally.

But at the same time that he was secretly refreshed, there was also a trace of worry in his heart.

The reason for worry is, if this elder son is really so awesome, what will happen to Prince Li Chengqian?

What will happen if Li Mu's identity is exposed?

As someone who has been there, Li Shimin couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Originally, Li Shimin planned to find an opportunity to reveal his identity with Li Mu, and then father and son would recognize each other and recognize their ancestors.

Now, he hesitated.

Until there is no perfect solution, let's continue to hide it!

Chapter 10 My son looks like a fairy!

"Xiao Langjun, do you have a pen and paper, so I can borrow some to record the yield per mu." Du Ruhui asked.

"Paper and pen, yes, Lao Du, wait a moment!"

About 5 minutes later, Li Mu came back with a pen and paper.

"Hey, Lao Du, pen and paper."

Du Ruhui took the paper, wait a minute, what kind of paper is this?

As a person who deals with paper files all the year round.

Lao Du felt that this paper was different from ordinary paper as soon as he got it.

"This paper..."

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked after seeing the change in Lao Du's face.

"Li Gong, look, this paper is different."

Li Shimin took the paper and touched it with his hand, his expression changed suddenly.

"This paper seems to be different from ordinary tribute paper. It is high-quality, white and bright, and moderate in thickness. It is really the best!"

Li Shimin fondled it all of a sudden, it looked like he was touching a woman.

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched suddenly. As for Lao Li, it's just an ordinary draft paper.

"Old Li, if you like it, I will give you a few knives later. I have a lot of these things."

"What, more, how many do you have?"

"As much as you want."

Li Shimin instantly petrified.

Are you kidding me? ? ?

"Look at this bamboo forest."

Li Mu pointed to a bamboo forest in the distance and said, "These papers are made from these bamboos. You can make as many as you want, it just takes some time and manpower."

Fuck, trough, trough, trough...

Li Shimin was not calm anymore.

You know, if paper can be produced in large quantities, then the entire Tang Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes!

Li Shimin couldn't help asking with trembling hands.

"you sure?"

Li Mu looked calm, "It's just a matter of improving the papermaking technique, basic practice!"

For Li Mu, this is just a trivial matter.

But for Li Shimin, it was a big deal.

The reason why Li Shimin was excited.

It's because paper is really important to him.

Datang is not without paper.

This era actually already has paper.

It is Caihou paper and Gong paper.

but!

The former is too bad, the latter is too expensive.

How expensive is it?

Anyway, it is not affordable for ordinary families.

As an emperor, Li Shimin can certainly afford it.

But this is not the result he wants.

What he wants is that ordinary people can afford it.

Why do this?

Because he needs talent.

It is even more necessary to break the situation where the aristocratic family monopolizes talents.

The imperial examination system is the first step to break the family monopoly on talents, but it is far from enough.

Ordinary people could not afford to read books, nor could they take part in the imperial examinations.

The main reason for restricting ordinary people's reading is the way of dissemination of this knowledge.

For a long time, the way of knowledge dissemination has been relying on bamboo slips and wooden tablets.

But that way of dissemination is too backward and too limited.

Difficult to spread on a large scale.

Bamboo slips and wooden tablets not only look tiring, but also difficult to make. If you don’t believe me, try engraving characters on wood chips and you will know that it is destined not to be popular in large numbers.

As for paper, it is easy, but so expensive!If you want to eliminate illiteracy for all, how much paper do you want to make?Who can afford it?

just now.

Suddenly someone stood up and told him how much paper he needed.

How could Li Shimin not be excited.

I saw Li Shimin excitedly holding Li Mu's hands.

"Boy Li Mu, is what you said true?"

"Really, it's not difficult. If you want to know, I can teach you!"

As a time-traveling dog, papermaking is not a high-tech matter, so how could Li Mu not know it.

Anyway, there are bamboos all over the mountain, so it is a waste to not use them.

Making paper is actually not difficult, what is difficult is trying to make it well.

There are countless people trying to reduce the cost of papermaking.

but!

It is basically useless, because the difficulty in making paper is not the technique, but the material.

The vat used for cooking plant fibers should be placed in an iron pot.

But what the hell is a wok?It is estimated that no one in the entire Tang Dynasty knows about it except Li Mu.

Then there is the working hours. If it is hammered by manpower alone, even the bamboo will have to be hammered for several days, let alone the materials used by people in this era are logs, which is even more difficult to imagine.

The last is the softening time. If there is not enough alkalinity, how long do you guess the softening time?

But these are not problems in Li Mu's eyes, it's just an iron pot, just build one.

Hammering time is not a problem, he still understands the use of water power.

As for alkaline substances.

What the hell, it’s okay for me to get a few pieces of soap out for you to make bases for you, but you still can’t handle alkaline substances?

"Xiao Langjun is righteous! Please accept our worship."

Du Ruhui was about to bow to Li Mu after speaking, but Li Mu quickly stopped him.

"Old Du, don't be like this, it's not Baijiao who wants money."

"..."

The three of Li Shimin froze at that moment.

Especially Li Shimin, who is a father, the corners of his mouth twitched. Where did this kid get his temper for money?

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji next to him suddenly noticed the pen in Li Mu's hand.
