Even, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde directly lifted up their robes, while feeling emotional, they patted their stomachs comfortably, making a 'dongdong' sound.

"Comfortable, but the cooks in Prince Jin's mansion know how to cook, especially the hot and sour potato shreds and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which are several times more delicious than those made by those idiot cooks in my old Cheng's mansion!"

"What Zhijie said is very true. When it comes to cooking, the cooks in Prince Jin's Mansion are the most skilled. Even if the ingredients are the same, they still can't make such a taste..."

"I don't even know how to eat. Chili, coriander and shallot, and some vinegar, tiger food tastes really good..."

Listening to the words of Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and others, all the nobles who were lying on the sofa, reminiscing about the delicious stir-fried dishes they had never eaten just now, gradually heard something was wrong.

They couldn't help but sit up slowly and watched for a while.

Afterwards, they all asked anxiously: "Everyone, what is a pepper?"

"What are tomatoes?"

"Also, aren't these stir-fried dishes unique to the King of Jin? Do the residences of Su Guogong and Qi Guogong also have this thing?"

"..."

Only then did Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others realize the slip of the tongue, and they glanced at each other, but remained silent.

"Ugh?"

Seeing this, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, Wei Zheng and the others felt that something was wrong and their faces were full of depression.

"Everyone, close the door, we are all our own people, why do we have to hide even a few dishes?"

"It really makes me so sad to wait!"

"Your Majesty, we are also the Duke of the Great Tang Dynasty, and the nobles of the Great Tang Dynasty..."

"No concealment, no concealment!..."

Facing the resentful expressions of the veterans, Li Shimin glared fiercely at Cheng Zhijie, who was pretending to be dead, and quickly smiled awkwardly, explaining.

"Peppers and tomatoes, like sweet potatoes and potatoes, are the vegetables King Jin brought back from America!"

"Vegetables brought back with sweet potatoes?"

All the nobles couldn't help being startled.

Immediately, his face was full of interest.

"No wonder it tastes so delicious?"

"On weekdays, XX eats up to four big steamed buns, but today he actually ate six. He wants to continue eating, but it's a pity that his stomach is not strong enough!"

"Hey, I ate seven today..."

Saying that, all the old killers suddenly remembered something, and they all looked at Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others.

"This kind of delicacy is also grown in your home, and you didn't tell us?"

"What's even more exaggerated is that you have been hiding it from us?"

"The old man has always thought that we, as colleagues, are our own people, but I didn't expect that we are just feeling ourselves..."

"Ugh……"

Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others lay down on the sofa, closed their eyes and meditated, pretending to be dead!

Seeing this, all the nobles were all in one mind.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that after returning home, he must go to the mansion of these old killers, and take a good look at the glass greenhouses of these old killers, what kind of good things are planted in the end?

After half an hour.

According to Li Xuan's words, Li Chang asked Li Chang to bring a group of servants to each of the nobles and give them a small basket of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

Seeing this, all the nobles from aristocratic families could only sigh secretly in their hearts.

Later, under the leadership of Li Shimin, he bid farewell to Li Xuan.

Before leaving, Li Xuan kept telling them that if Li Xuan sells sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and other strange things, whether it is fruits or seeds, he must tell them first.

No matter when, they will send people to charge at a high price as soon as possible.

Li Xuan nodded in response.

These nobles left with peace of mind.

When they got into the carriage, they all stared at Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others with resentment on their faces.

And in Lijiazhuang.

After lunch.

Li Chang led a group of guards and farmers, and began to peel the corn again.

And after returning to the palace.

Li Shimin directly asked Zhongshu Sheren to draft the imperial edict, and Li Shimin painted the word "Edict" in ink, sent it to Menxia Province for review, and then directly sent it to Shangshu Province and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites.

These edicts are all rewards for Li Baoding, Wang Xuance and others who followed Li Xuan to the Americas to retrieve food such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

Among them, Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi, Changsun Chong, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yizhi, and Du Gou were named county sons.

Li Chengqian, Li Baoding, and Li Chongyi all had titles, so they only rewarded some acres of land, and each added [-] food.

In addition, Li Baoding and Li Chongyi also got two vassal cities respectively!

Taking this opportunity, Xue Rengui was also directly named the consort captain!

And those bodyguards and soldiers who followed Li Xuan and others to America also received some property rewards, and ten acres of fertile land rewards, and they were all promoted to a higher rank!

There are twelve imperial edicts in total, seven ennoblements, one consort captain, and the remaining four are all edicts of wanton rewards.

If the normal process is followed, it will be impossible to complete the review without a day or two.

However, Li Shimin and the chief officials of the three provinces had communicated with each other a few days ago about these titles and rewards.

Today, the officials from the three provinces and all the dignitaries in the dynasty have also seen the production of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which these boys like Li Xuan and Li Chongyi brought back from America.

Therefore, Zhongshu Sheren had just started drafting, and the servants, ministers, and others in the province also got the news and waited eagerly.

Chapter 656

As soon as the edict was sent to the provincial university, all the chief officials immediately reviewed it.

After confirming that it was correct, a group of prepared eunuchs went to announce the edict with the edict!

Twelve edicts.

Among the ten proclamation teams, except for the eunuch team next to Li Shimin, they went directly through the Taiji Palace and headed for the East Palace.

The remaining nine teams came out from the Zhuque Gate one by one, and headed for the palaces of various princes and counties in Chang'an City.

Among them, two teams were divided, and went directly along Zhuque Street, out of Mingdemen, and headed for Lijiazhuang in the south of the city.

Such a large and festive team is rare, though.

However, all the common people and dignitaries in Chang'an City can still recognize at a glance that these are rewarding angels!

"So many awarding angels?"

"Such a magnificent scene, or will I be able to see it when the Great Tang Jianguo was born?"

"What kind of big event happened to my Tang Dynasty?"

"Could it be, it's going to change again!"

"You don't want to talk nonsense, your Majesty is now in his prime, how can the sky change?"

"Exactly, now that my Tang Dynasty is flourishing and prospering day by day, this time must be a great joy!"

"This year, more than 30 prefectures in Henan and Hedong were flooded. Your Majesty did not mobilize food from the Guanzhong Pass, so the disaster relief was successful!"

"Also, now that Your Majesty has wiped out all the Turks, and brought Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Hozen vassal states of the Wa Kingdom to my Tang Dynasty to beg for mercy, how can the sky change?"

All the common people stared angrily at the person who misspoken.

As common people, they only like whoever can bring them substantial benefits, make them full and not hungry, that's how simple it is!

Now, Li Shimin is clearly on the verge of doing this.

Therefore, all the people do not want Li Shimin to have any accidents!

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a few commoners seemed to have discovered something, and pointed at the proclaiming team with surprise on their faces.

"After entering through the gate of the Daofang, it seems to be the Duke of Qi's mansion!"

"It really is!"

"Go, hurry over and have a look, Duke Qi is the uncle of the current dynasty, it must be a great joy!"

In fact, there is no need to shout, after the proclaiming team went directly to Duke Qi's mansion, the surrounding people and pedestrians had already surrounded them.

For the matter of conferring titles, most of the principals in the Duke of Qi's mansion are prepared.

Therefore, according to the previous procedures, the whole government respectfully accepted the imperial edict.

After thanking the eunuch who announced the edict, he sent the eunuch who announced the edict out of the gate.

However, the people surrounding the gate of the mansion were blown up.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the King of Jin took these young gentlemen out to sea for so long, to go to Datang to find those gods such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes!"

"And, I brought them all back!"

"So, we are blessed!"

"Haha, this matter must be..."

All the people were overjoyed.

at the same time.

Immediately after the edict was proclaimed, a group of forbidden troops rushed out from nowhere.

Post a notice at the gates of each city and square city!

Soon, there were people who could read and read aloud.

"The king of Jin brought his prince Li Chengqian, king of Huaiwei Li Baoding, son of the king of Hejian County Li Chongyi, son of Duke Qi's son Changsun Chong...Three thousand big Tang sons, three giant steel ships, three large ships, and three small boats, from Qingzhou Harbor Set off and head east all the way.

It took one year and eight months to travel tens of thousands of miles, and finally found sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other gods for the Tang Dynasty from the extreme eastern continent.

Today, the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn planted in Jinwang Lijiazhuang have all been harvested.

Twelve stones per mu of sweet potato!

Seven stones per mu of potatoes!

Corn yields six stones per mu!

They are all called by me and the Chinese and military officials of the DPRK!

Such a fetish is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, the blessing of the common people, and the blessing of the country...

I hereby confer rewards on King Jin...Prince...King Huaiwei..."

The following words, all the common people have long been unwilling to pay attention.

At this moment, there are only three sentences in everyone's mind.

"Twelve stones per mu of sweet potatoes... seven stones per mu of potatoes... six stones per mu of corn..."

"Hahaha……"

"Oh my god, the grain yield of twelve shi per mu!"

"God bless me Tang!"

"I didn't expect that such a fetish could appear in my Tang Dynasty?"

"A good king!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin is indeed a virtuous king!"

"It's a great thing, it's a great thing..."

"The old man's guess is right, this time it really is a big happy event!"

"Come on, hurry up and pass this matter on to the Patriarch!"
