Chapter 606: Potatoes and sweet potatoes as gifts to Emperor Tang

Chen Chu stretched out two fingers,

The second point is to encourage childbirth and implement the policy of tax reduction and exemption for more children. The population base of Datang is too small now, and some places are thousands of miles of no-man’s land.

Without a population, there is no labor force, let alone soldiers. I know you have the intention of the Northern Expedition, but now the Tang Dynasty family is too weak to afford this war.

Developing the army requires a lot of money and food, as well as strong men. Without these conditions, there is no guarantee of victory in the Northern Expedition!

Li Shimin nodded in agreement,

But there is no food and the people are not full. How can we let them have more children?

Chen Chu chuckled and stretched out three fingers.

The above two points must be supported by the third point, that is, there is endless food!

Li Shimin frowned,

However, due to successive years of drought, grain production has been greatly reduced. This is a natural disaster that cannot be stopped by manpower!

Chen Chu smiled mysteriously and took out an exquisite wooden box.

This box contains the future of the Tang Dynasty. This is a surprise I give you!

Li Shimin's eyes lit up,

Mr. Chen, I wonder what kind of treasure is in this box?

Chen Chu opened the box. There were a few corns, a potato, and a sweet potato inside. Chen Chu took them out one by one.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he understood immediately that these were grain seeds. Chen Chu introduced them to Li Shimin one by one.

This is called potato. It has a very high yield. The key is that it is drought-resistant and easy to grow. It can produce up to 5000 kilograms per acre of land!

Li Shimin was shocked.

What? Can it produce as much as 5000 kilograms? The yield is more than ten times that of millet. This is really a divine seed!

Chen Chu chuckled and said,

This potato not only has a high yield, it is also very delicious. It can be eaten boiled, roasted, stir-fried or stewed. The key is that it can be stored for a long time.

It is non-perishable and can be transported over long distances. It is the best choice for military rations. It can help you be invincible during your Northern Expedition! The most important thing when marching and fighting is military rations!

Li Shimin was excited. He held the potato in both hands and looked at it carefully. This potato was so amazing. With it, great things could be accomplished!

Chen Chu picked up the sweet potato again.

This thing is called sweet potato. The yield per mu is up to 6000 kilograms, which is higher than the yield of potatoes. It is sweet and can be eaten boiled or roasted.

The key is that it can be eaten raw, used as military rations, or grown in large areas by ordinary people. The key is that sweet potatoes have the effect of opening up the stomach and intestines. Everyone eats sweet potatoes to prevent constipation!

Li Shimin felt as if he had found a treasure and was very careful when holding the sweet potatoes. Chen Chu picked up the corn kernels again.

This is called corn. The yield per mu is a little low, only 1500 kilograms, but corn is very delicious. Eating more can strengthen the spleen and stomach. It is sweet and delicious, and it is also a drought-resistant crop.

It can solve the problem of drought and natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that these three crops do not belong to this era. I risked my life to give them to you.

These three crops are the food of the gods. It can be said that they will not appear on this land until more than 1000 years in the future. I hope you can cherish them. In time, you can start the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty with these three gods!

Li Shimin became serious, lifted up his clothes, knelt down, and performed the salute.

Thank you Mr. Chen for risking your life to give me the divine seed. Li Shimin is willing to open a temple for Mr. Chen to worship him forever. Thank you Mr. Chen for saving thousands of people. Such achievements can be passed down to future generations!

Chen Chu quickly waved his hand and helped Li Shimin up.

You must not tell anyone about the seed I gave you. If the news is leaked, my life will not be easy. I will take care of you secretly. You know, there are rules everywhere!

Chen Chu looked up at the sky and sighed, looking helpless. Li Shimin looked up at the sky. It turned out that Mr. Chen was a god in the sky?
