The First Family of Tang Dynasty

It seems that Cheng Sanlang, that kid, probably made something happen in Liaodong City to annoy His Majesty.

Zhao Kun, who stood beside Li Shimin, saw what Cheng Sanlang wrote.

The first sentence at the beginning is to greet His Majesty very earnestly and flatteringly, and then remind His Majesty very earnestly.

Saying that the next good news will be very scary, I hope His Majesty can prepare small pills and pay attention to controlling emotions...

Zhao Kun's eyelids twitched wildly, his bearded face was distorted and reddened as if he had been constipated for many years.

Hearing His Majesty scolding that little bastard, Zhao Kun also nodded subconsciously, it should be scolded.

Just as a group of civil and military officials were whispering again, suddenly, a sound like a long whale sucking in a river was heard.

"hiss…"

The astonished eyes of a group of people fell on His Majesty's face, and they saw His Majesty's face suddenly turn red.

And the eyeballs stared exaggeratedly as if they would fall out of their sockets at any moment, that Zhao Kun who was standing behind him.

His eyes were also bulging, and his mouth was grinning exaggeratedly, as if he was frightened by something terrible.

Seeing the exaggerated expressions of this pair of monarchs and ministers, as if performing a drama on a stage, all the ministers and workers were confused.

What the **** did that kid Cheng Sanlang do to scare His Majesty to such an extent, uh...it should have shocked His Majesty to such an appearance.

"Could it be that what the messenger said is true?" Ma Zhou couldn't help but approached Li Jing and asked in a low voice.

"When I went to Liaodong Prefecture with Duke Wei, I also heard from Cheng Sanlang that he was going to try to plant new crops..."

"The old man has also heard about it, but the dog is also vague, and only says that those crops are high-yield crops.

It's just that Cheng Sanlang asked everyone not to talk nonsense until the fruit is harvested before it is mature, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding..."

Li Jing's expression seemed quite suspicious at this moment, and he explained in a low voice.

"Perhaps it is Quanzi who obtained a bumper harvest in Liaodong from the crops that are thousands of miles away, and the output is quite gratifying."

"If that's the case, that's really great news, but there's no need to be so exaggerated, right?"

Hearing this, Ma Zhou nodded in agreement, feeling a little displeased in his heart.

Could it be that Cheng Sanlang made too many meritorious deeds, so that he got carried away with complacency and started to act recklessly?

If so, as a benefactor who has saved his life, he must quietly remind this kid to wake him up.

Li Shimin's hands were a little weak, and he placed the apparently light, but at this moment, heavy letter paper on the top of the eucalyptus.

Immediately, the ears began to buzz, as if the blood rushing in the veins roared like a stormy sea.

Five thousand catties, more than five thousand and one hundred catties of potatoes per mu of land, and potatoes are a kind of food crops side by side with rice, wheat, and millet.

Be good, goose... Li Shimin, who felt that his blood vessels in his brain were about to explode, quickly closed his eyes.

Covering his heart with his left hand, he stretched out his other hand, and has been paying close attention to Zhao Kun, who has been paying close attention to the changes in the expression of Emperor Datang.

He quickly picked up the small porcelain bottle at his waist, poured out a nitroglycerin tablet and placed it in Li Shimin's palm.

Then, watching His Majesty put the small pill under his tongue, his facial expression gradually relaxed as his breathing slowed down.

Many ministers also saw this scene, and all their petite hearts hung up at this moment.

Fortunately, everyone knows that His Majesty has medicine, which was given by Cheng Sanlang, and His Majesty has already taken the medicine.

Seeing that His Majesty's complexion gradually improved, all the civil and military officials were relieved.

The impatient Yu Chigong couldn't hold back and was the first to raise his voice loudly.

"Your Majesty, what great changes have taken place in Liaodong Prefecture?"

Emperor Datang, who had finally recovered from his old face, raised his hand and waved it slowly to indicate that it was not the case.

Damn... It seems that Cheng Sanlang is really right, anyone who sees this kind of extremely exaggerated good news will be so upset.

Seeing that His Majesty was ready to respond, Zhao Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help whispering.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Sanlang, could it be a clerical error?"

"Impossible." Li Shimin shook his head slowly, his voice trembling, but his tone was very firm.

"My beloved son-in-law dared to send someone six hundred miles to rush to send this letter, which is enough to prove that everything he described in the letter is true."

His Majesty's analysis directly left Zhao Kun speechless.

After all, whoever makes such a big noise naturally wants to share it with others.

That is to say, Liaodong Prefecture is very close to His Majesty's place, otherwise, no one would dare to slander even if it took eight hundred miles to rush.

At this time, Li Shimin also noticed the abnormality of a group of ministers and showed a smile.

"I'm fine, I was just frightened by the surprise from my beloved son-in-law."

"Surprise... Are you scared?" This sentence once again made the civil and military ministers use their brains one after another. It is too rare to be able to scare His Majesty into such a surprise.

#####

At this moment, Ma Zhou was the first to stand up again, and saluted Li Shimin respectfully.

"Your Majesty, could it be that this surprise has something to do with the harvest of grain crops from the Yin Shang Continent?"

"That's right, it's the food crops that Erlang, Li Laoaiqing's son, has gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to get back.

Ladies and Gentlemen, have you ever heard of grain crops that yield over a thousand catties per mu? "

Li Shimin stood up, and at this moment, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked in a vigorous manner.

"The yield per mu is over a thousand catties?" As soon as these words came out, there was an instant uproar among civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, I only heard that if the Champa rice is grown in the Cochin area, if it is cultivated in one year's rotation, it can have a yield of six to seven hundred catties, and it will be gone if it is any more."

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, among the food crops in the Tang Dynasty, rice yields the most. Just as Zhao Shilang said just now, it is only six or seven hundred catties at most."

"As for the yield of wheat, it is only a little over two stones per mu, and for millet, it is less than one stone and a half per mu, let alone sorghum and soybeans."

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that Erlang of Li Weigong's family brought back grain crops with a yield of over a thousand catties from the Yin Shang Continent?"

"No, no, no..." Li Shimin waved his hand, and said again.

"Then, gentlemen, have you ever heard that crops with a yield of more than two thousand catties are acceptable, whether they are food crops or not."

"...Two thousand catties? This, how is this possible?"

At this time, Ma Zhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stood up and saluted His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is a crop that can yield more than two thousand catties per mu."

"It's persimmons. A single persimmon tree can bear more than thirty or fifty catties of fruit, or even fifty or sixty catties.

If you planted all the persimmon trees on one mu of land, it would be no problem to get two thousand catties. "

"Although this persimmon tree is not a food crop, but a fruit tree, if you dry the fresh persimmons and use them to feed your hunger, you can also eat them."

"Okay, okay, Ma Qing's family really deserves to be well-known and well-remembered people."

Li Shimin laughed, and raised his finger again.

"Is there any crops with a yield of more than 4,000 jin per mu, or even 5,000 jin?"

"..." Looking at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, whose face was flushed with excitement, he kept walking back and forth excitedly beside the table.

Everyone's little heart, can't help but start bang bang...

Li Jing, the military **** of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly swayed, but fortunately, his younger brother Li Keshi stretched out his arms in time to hold his brother.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, it's okay for my brother..." Li Jing forced a smile at Li Keshi with a trembling mouth.

Taking a deep breath, after getting out of the crowd, he bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, is it true that the dog's virtue award? The food crops found from the Yinshang Continent. Can the yield per mu exceed a thousand catties?"

"Old Li Aiqing, it's more than a thousand catties. Let's take a look... What is the yield per mu of potatoes that my virtuous son-in-law wrote on it."

Li Shimin copied the letter, came to Li Jing and asked, pointing to the row of numbers written on it.

After Li Jing saw it, his eyeballs suddenly widened exaggeratedly to the extreme, then he raised his finger and rubbed his eyeballs vigorously.

"This, this is more than five thousand and one hundred catties... How is this possible?! This is too exaggerated..."

"What?!"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible? How can there be such a high yield per mu of food crops?"

"Although the yield of Champa rice is extremely high per mu, it can only be limited to the south of the Yangtze River to have the opportunity to rotate crops for two seasons."

"That might be the yield of ten acres. Think about it, potatoes, the beans that grow in the soil, may be better than soybeans, but they shouldn't be so ridiculously strong."

"It's just..."

Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the hall seemed to be in a mess, Ma Zhou quickly raised his voice and yelled several times before he quieted down the noise in the hall.

But at this time, the bag of potatoes had already arrived in Li Shimin's hands.

Opening the bag, looking at the potatoes inside the bag, which were a little bigger than goose eggs, Li Shimin's expression was a little confused.

"This is potatoes, a food crop with a yield of more than five thousand catties per mu?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the veteran was in Liaodong City, I had the honor to taste this thing with Gouzi."

"After steaming, it is very soft, glutinous and sweet, and it will fill you up..."

With Li Jing, the military **** of the Tang Dynasty, talking about it here, and His Majesty became a model with goods, copying the potatoes and showing them in his hands.

Even though there are still many doubts in everyone's mind, they can't help but not believe it.

After Ma Zhou rolled his eyes for a long time, he moved to Li Shimin's ear and whispered.

"Your Majesty, I think that since the lord of Goguryeo has just passed away, it would be inappropriate for our Tang Dynasty to launch a crusade at this moment.

It's better to suspend fighting and retreat to the line of Yalu Shui..."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Ma Zhouzhi's words. Yes, at this moment, he really wanted to put wings under his ribs and fly to Liaodong City to see the potatoes and all kinds of crops from the Shang continent. .

After all, in the letter of Chu Bixian's son-in-law, it described the details of the crops from the Yin Shang mainland, and they were about to be harvested.

If the troops can be withdrawn in time, then I and a group of important officials of the Tang Dynasty will also be able to witness those good treasures from Yin Shang mainland with their own eyes.

"Emperor Tang actually agreed?"

Yuan Gai Suwen stood up abruptly with a face full of surprise, and asked this confidant.

"Exactly, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was benevolent and unparalleled, sent the prime minister Ma Zhou to tell his subordinates after hearing the sad news about me in Goguryeo."

"Let Damolizhi just deal with the affairs of Goguryeo Kingdom~www.readwn.com~ and other things at ease..."

Listening to the report from his subordinates, Yuan Gai Suwen let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help clenching his fists excitedly.

That's great, sure enough, whenever the Yuan family was in trouble, when life was in danger, it was really useful to kill the king and sacrifice to heaven.

Although the emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent a prime minister to inform about this matter, Yuan Gai Suwen and Goguryeo did not dare to take it lightly, for fear that the other party would resort to another trick.

Until the afternoon of that day, the elite of the Tang Dynasty voluntarily withdrew from the two fortresses they occupied, retreated to the Yalu River to board the boat, and the news of going to the west bank of the Yalu River reached Yuan Gai Suwen's ears. .

Yuan Gai Su Wen was silent for a long time, and then he spoke slowly. "Emperor Tang, you really believe in people..."

At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't wait to lift his front skirt, landed on the west bank, and was waiting for someone to bring a mount, and behind him, a large number of civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were also impatient.

I want to see that one mu produces five thousand catties of potatoes, is it bragging?
