Li Shimin

During the autumn harvest, the whole village is busy.

Even the people in the house were arranged by Li Xuan to deliver cool white leaves to the farmers in the field.

Under Li Xuan's special request, no one in Li Family Village was allowed to drink the unboiled water, they had to boil it before drinking it.

At first, people were not used to it.

However, after drinking for a period of time, the farmers all found that with drinking plain water, they rarely get sick, and even their stomachs don't feel so often, so they immediately began to actively drink plain water.

Each piece of cold ice weighs fifty catties.

100 yuan of cold ice is five hundred catties.

Five small flatbed carts and ten servants will be able to work together to transport it to the field ridge.

There are also ten servants, carrying hundreds of glass bowls and knives, following behind, chopping up the cold ice and distributing it to the guards and farmers.

For this, the farmers and guards were even more grateful.

In the past, harvesting grain in the autumn harvest was only the responsibility of farmers like them. How could the proprietor not only ask a group of guards to help, but also give the farmers precious cold ice to relieve the heat.

"I have waited for ten lifetimes of blessings to meet such a good proprietor!"

An older farmer was full of excitement.

Then, when he looked up, he suddenly found that everyone around him was looking at him, and his face turned red.

However, there was nothing unusual about the already tanned face, and he shouted directly: "What are you looking at, why don't you hurry up and harvest the grain?"

"The rice grains in the Dawang Paddy Field are so full that they are at least a circle larger than the rice in the past. This year is sure to be a bumper harvest!"

"Exactly, such a huge rice, only by taking it back into the warehouse as soon as possible can make people feel at ease!"

"I've been waiting for so many people, I just need to speed up, and I can harvest them all back into the warehouse today!"

"Work, work..."

After all, the farmers of a certain kind began to harvest rice as if they had been given a lot of blood.

At the same time, in Lijiazhuang.

Li Chang also began to direct the cooks in the house to prepare meals.

Generally, when the farming is busy, the lunch meal is very simple, and a large amount is needed to keep you full.

Therefore, lunch is directly stewed pig meat, fried pig meat and other dishes, plus big steamed buns, rice soup and porridge.

Although the households in the village are not so short of meat, this kind of meal with a large amount of meat still makes the households feel refreshed.

After the meal, everyone started to rush to the paddy field again.

I have been busy working until Xushi, the sky is getting dark, and the paddy fields of thousands of acres have also begun to become bare.

Only pieces of turbid small pools were left, and occasionally some fat fish jumped out of the water, breathing freely.

On the original wide square, this meeting is full of golden rice.

A group of farmers stood aside with excited faces, looking at these rice piles the size of small hills with excitement.

This year, the grain tank in their home will definitely be filled with grain.

For dinner, there is another fragrant fish soup and chicken soup.

Every farmer and personal guard eats to their heart's content, and all the rice in the field is snatched back, so they can eat with peace of mind.

The next day.

All farmers got up early and started threshing millet.

After weighing, distribute half of it to the farmers, and the rest is the family's, piled in the barn.

At the end of the day, all the farmers' faces were full of joy, and they couldn't close their mouths!

……

Chapter 334 Your Majesty, It Can Be Counted as Five Stones per Mu

"My lord, a great harvest!"

After weighing and counting all the rice, Li Chang also grinned, his face was full of excitement, and the calmness of the past had long since disappeared.

Li Xuan couldn't help asking: "How many catties of millet have you harvested in total?"

"Go back to your Majesty, we have harvested a total of [-] shi of rice!"

"Two thousand eight hundred stone?"

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was overjoyed.

"So, four stones per mu?"

I used to call the paddy fields thousands of mu of paddy fields, but in fact there are only 200 mu of paddy fields, and they are divided into small paddy fields worth [-] yuan, each of which is four mu in size.

Moreover, among the 200 yuan paddy fields, there are 20 yuan paddy fields planted with grapes and vegetables.

Therefore, in fact, this piece of paddy field is only 720 mu.

You must know that in this era, the northern fields generally yielded one to two stones per mu, and only the rich paddy fields in the south or Shandong could produce three stones per mu.

But now, the paddy fields he reclaimed from wasteland can reach four stones!

It seems that the cakes of those fish are quite effective.

"call……"

Thinking about it, Li Xuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, the [-] mu of wasteland bought by Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde can be planted next year according to the paddy field model.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, four stones per mu!"

"My lord, four stones per mu, four stones..."

After Li Chang finished speaking, all the householders in the village spoke to Li Xuan excitedly.

"Ok!"

Regarding this, although Li Xuan was a little excited in his heart.

However, he still looked calm.

"Four stones per mu is certainly a good thing, but everyone, don't forget the big fat fish in those paddy fields. Why can't a paddy field grow four hundred catties of fat fish?"

"It really is!"

Hearing this, all the dealers couldn't help being taken aback.

Immediately, everyone's faces became even more shocked.

"Your Majesty, in this way, it can be regarded as five stones per mu!"

"Yes, five stones, Dawang paddy fields produce five stones per mu!"

"Hahaha, five stones..."

Immediately, everyone became ecstatic.

"What five stones?"

Suddenly, a suspicious voice came from outside the crowd, which made Li Xuan and all the dealers startled.

All the farmers turned their heads to look.

After seeing the person who came, these farmers were shocked again.

Immediately, there was great joy again.

"His Majesty?"

"See Your Majesty!"

Ever since Li Shimin brought his big family to Lijiazhuang to escape the summer, most of the households in the village have known His Majesty Tang.

"What five stones?"

Li Shimin asked curiously, and at the same time, his eyes couldn't help looking at the rice piled up beside him.

"Return to Your Majesty, it is the king's paddy field, which can reach five stones per mu!" An old farmer said with a happy face.

"what?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Wei and others were shocked.

Immediately, Li Wei hurriedly scolded loudly: "You old farmer, what nonsense are you talking about? A sage, talking nonsense in front of you, will be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

When his son was born, these old farmers helped Li Wang a lot, so Li Wei didn't want these old farmers to be executed by His Majesty just because of a word.

At the same time, Li Shimin also kept his eyes on the old farmer.

Five stones, that's not a joke.

Now when Datang can only produce three stones per mu, not to mention five stones per mu, even if someone grows a good seed that yields four stones per mu, Li Shimin can confer title on that person.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true!"

The old farmer said quickly.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Li Shimin's face couldn't help being moved, and he quickly looked at Li Xuan.

"Xuan Ba, is this true?"

There is no room for Li Shimin not to be nervous. In this farming society, food is everything.

At present, three shi per mu, or two shi, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, more than half of the people can already be fed.

If the yield per mu is five shi, Li Shimin can guarantee that even if there are natural and man-made disasters, the people of Datang will be able to eat enough.

Even, not only can you be full, but you can also be rich.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it can also be said that it is five stones per mu, but that is with the water fish in the field."

Li Xuan naturally knew what Li Shimin expected, but he needed to be realistic.

"Please tell Xuan Ba ​​clearly."

Li Shimin still believed Li Xuan's words.

"Your Majesty, one mu of rice can produce four stones of rice, plus one paddy field can raise four hundred catties of big fat fish, so it can be counted as five stones per mu!"

Li Xuan explained slowly.

"I see!"

After listening, Li Shimin nodded subconsciously.

Immediately, he reacted and looked at Li Xuan in shock.

"Xuan Ba, what you said just now, is four stones of rice per mu?"

Similarly, Li Wei around him was also full of shock.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, "The rice I planted, if the housekeeper did not make a mistake, it should yield four stones per mu!"

Hearing this, Li Chang on the side became anxious, and quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the villain has already counted three times, and he will never make a mistake!"

And this time, Li Shimin had already squatted down, grabbed a handful of rice, and looked carefully.

"I didn't expect that this kind of rice could produce four stones per mu..."

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Shimin's expression froze, he put the rice in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully for a while.

Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan.

"Xuanba, are these rice grains a little bigger than the previous grains?"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty, these rice plants have been irrigated by the river water since they were seedlings, and there are hundreds of small fish pulling manure, fertilizing them, and even catching insects and killing weeds. Therefore, this is why rice grows better than other rice, The particles are full and huge, which is natural!"
