The old man walked in the lead, and his half-ricket back did not have much impact on the movement. At such an age, it was almost impossible for the officials behind him to keep up.

Li Shimin still wanted to help him, but he gave up after seeing the old man walking so fast. If he didn't keep up, he would fall behind.

The old man came to his exclusive solar greenhouse planting area in Zhuangzi. The greenhouses were arranged neatly and surrounded by many metal and plastic pipes. Some strange measuring instruments inside the greenhouses could be seen through the glass and transparent plastic. .

The old man turned to look at the Wuyangyang officials and villagers who were following him. He stretched out his hand and pulled Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this is the greenhouse on the village."

Li Shimin took the old man's hand and said, "The officials will arrive soon. Sir, please teach them a lesson so that they know what this is."

The old man smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Yes, yes."

The officials were already out of breath from walking all the way, and the winter in Chang'an was particularly cold this year. Many officials put their hands on their knees to resist the temptation to behave inappropriately in front of Li Shimin, suppressing the desire to vomit in their throats.

The old man pointed to the innermost one: "The whole area over there is a glass greenhouse. In the early days... we didn't have this idea. Without this idea, we could only use glass to transmit light. But glass This thing is easy to break, and it is inconvenient to maintain later. Nowadays, these solar greenhouses are made of steel bars, which are matched with materials and are low-cost and easy to maintain. "

The officials in the front row, holding on to their painful bodies, took out notepads from their arms and began to record, thinking about whether these greenhouses could be built in the areas under their jurisdiction to grow food and vegetables.

Li Shimin could tell that the old man was still a little nervous, so he patted the old man's back gently: "Sir, don't panic. Just speak slowly. Just treat these officials as cabbage and leave them alone."

The old man nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, these woks look like bean sprouts. They are not strong at all and are not up to standard."

Li Shimin didn't expect the old man to say that, so he started laughing without holding his stomach tightly: "Hahahahahahaha, bean sprouts! Good, good, good!"

Yuchi Baoqi held Yuchi Canglan in one hand and held Li Lizhi in the other hand and walked to the old man: "Has the production been measured?"

The old man nodded: "One plant weighs more than three kilograms, and it is densely packed underneath. But it uses soil transported back from the Northeast, and also uses urea and potassium sulfate. The yield is terrible. But the effect is only achieved by the combination of these many factors. This effect may not be found in other test plots.”

Yuchi Baoqi felt confident and stood beside the old man without saying a word, just waiting to dig potatoes.

The old man talked a lot about the basic knowledge of agriculture. Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I have planted every plot. Should I start with the best plot or the worst plot?" "

Li Shimin touched the beard on his chin: "Let's go and see the best first. After seeing the best, go straight to the worst. How about that?"

The old man agreed: "Your Majesty, here is the No. 24 experimental field with black soil in the Northeast, chemical fertilizers, automatic drip irrigation, and electrified exhaust."

The old man opened the door of the experimental field greenhouse and reached out to turn on the exhaust system of the greenhouse. With the rapid rotation of the exhaust fan, the carbon dioxide concentration on the instrument began to decrease.

Li Shimin saw the old man walking in and followed him. The officials behind him stood at the door and did not dare to go in. Yuchi Baoqi kicked Wei Tong directly on the butt: "Why are you standing there if you don't go in?"

The tall and powerful Wei Tong almost hit the door frame, and a dog jumped into the greenhouse. The severe pain Wei Tong expected did not come. The soft black earth even made him feel as if he had fallen on a soft couch.

Wei Tong didn't even get up, so he grabbed a handful of black soil and held it tightly. As soon as he let go, the black soil that had been squeezed tightly turned into loose soil and scattered to the ground.

Wei Tong's eyes widened: "This... this is too fat!"

When Wei Tong heard the coughing of the officials behind him, he quickly got up from the ground and moved away from the door. Seeing that there were farm tools such as baskets and small shovels on the simple table at the door of the greenhouse, Wei Tong quickly walked over and took them. Just run.

As the governor of Qizhou and the founder of the vegetable basket project in Qizhou City, it is not necessary to be too skilled in handling these things. However, Wei Tong took out a small shovel and squatted on the ground, and suddenly felt as if he was "drawing his sword and looking around with a blank mind".

Wei Tong shouted in the direction of Li Shimin and the old man: "Your Majesty, is there nothing in this field?"

The old man didn't say much. He bent down and inserted one hand directly into the ground. He lifted up a bunch of potatoes with a slight shake and said, "Young man, this field is full of potatoes. Dig!"

Wei Tong was stunned when he saw that, then he knelt in the field and dug with a small shovel. He gradually put the shovel aside angrily and started digging with his hands, one plant, two plants, three plants, big ones. It is as big as half a head, and the small one is as big as a fist.

Wei Tong was also an honest person. He pulled a potato from a plant and rubbed it on his official trousers without hesitation. After rubbing it clean, he put it in his mouth.

I heard Yuchi Baoqi's magic voice penetrate his mind: "Potato is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the family Solanaceae and the genus Solanum. Think carefully, Wei Cishi, what does the family Solanaceae and the genus Solanum mean? Think carefully."

Wei Tong swallowed and put down the potatoes in his hand. Yuchi Baoqi was so angry when he spoke that all the officials in the greenhouse were confused. Except for the officials working in the Qilu area, it was difficult for them to understand what it meant. .

The old man spoke: "The Solanaceae family and Solanum genus all have alkaloids, which are slightly toxic. Some of these solanine will be lost after being heated, which can be reduced to a safe level. Vinegar can also effectively neutralize solanine."

Li Shimin was relieved when he heard that Yuchi Baoqi had already lit a fire outside the greenhouse. Li Lizhi was holding Yuchi Canglan and cheering on the side: "Look at daddy playing with fire. Is daddy great?"

The officials inside are working hard to dig potatoes and transport them out basket by basket. Many officials' official uniforms are no longer decent, but it is really fun to dig potatoes. Every time you dig out a sack, the pressure of studying at the Royal Academy these days is relieved. That's almost it.

But as the aroma of roasted potatoes gradually spread, the officials digging potatoes inside gradually became unable to dig anymore. It was almost dinner time, and they walked all the way from the Royal Academy to Zhuangzi on the outskirts, and they also covered quite a lot of heights. We just arrived at the greenhouse. When we got there, we immediately had to dig potatoes. By now we had run out of food and almost starved to death.

Wei Tong squatted next to Yuchi Baoqi like an earthbound spirit: "Brother Bao, are you okay? Brother Bao, I'm familiar with it, Brother Bao."
