Chapter 267: A Thumbs Up for You
Good! In front of the emperor and ministers, he scolded people and vomited blood and fainted, and impeached him in front of His Majesty with his backhand, how can such a shameless style be so similar to that Cheng Biting Jin?
"Lantian Hou, you don't care about the affairs of Yushitai, it's not right." Yushitai Duxian is Xie Wenju, and now that he is personally out of the horse, he must suppress Li Dongsheng: "Wang Kun, what he said is true, did you plant such a high-yield crop in your own village?" ”
"You're right, I did grow that plant on my estate, and it's called sweet potatoes. When we harvested a while ago, we weighed it at 3,500 catties. Li Dongsheng bluntly admitted that this is not a shameful thing.
"Ahh As soon as Li Dongsheng's words came out, they immediately caused a commotion in the main hall, and everyone from Li Shimin to all the civil and military ministers present showed shocked expressions.
"Lantian Hou, what you said is true, your family really has crops with a yield of 3,000 catties per mu? This is in front of Your Majesty, and lying is a crime of deception! An old man with gray hair stood up and said, this old man's name is Yang Hongli, he is the position of the newly appointed head of the household department, the household department not only manages the household registration, but also has field tax, warehousing, etc., the world's fields are also under the management of the household department, Yang Hongli attaches great importance to agriculture, so when Li Dongsheng said that the yield per mu was 3,000 catties, he was so excited that he almost pulled Li Dongsheng to the scene to check now.
"Who dares to lie in front of Your Majesty, if Yang Shangshu doesn't believe it, I will ask the family to bring the sweet potatoes outside the palace gate, Yang Shangshu can send someone outside the palace gate to bring them in, and you will know it at a glance." He is not afraid of people verifying it, anyway, these are facts.
An order was given, and soon someone entered the hall with a silver plate in his hand, and the plate was covered with a red cloth, Li Dongsheng walked to the front of the plate, and said casually: "If you don't believe it, you can come forward and watch it carefully, this is selected out of the shape of the regular, in fact, the real sweet potatoes are big and small, the small one pound is about a catty, and the big one is more than a dozen catties, and it is normal to be a string of strings long." ”
Hula, everyone gathered around, all of them weighed with their hands, Li Dongsheng also asked the guards to cut it with a knife, and then handed it to them to taste it. So many big people believe that Li Dongsheng doesn't have the courage to poison it, everyone takes it and puts it in their mouths, and then their eyes light up: "This thing has a sweet taste, plenty of water, and tastes good." ”
Yang Hongli nodded: "Although this weighs more than a dozen pounds, it should be wet and heavy, and it will be a lot lighter if it is dried?" ”
"Yang Shangshu is really an expert." Li Dongsheng shook his farts first: "But even if it is dried in the sun, there are thousands of catties of output, which is completely beyond the crops planted." ”
"If my Datang all replanted this sweet potato, will there be no more food shortages in the future?" Yang Hongli touched the sweet potatoes on the silver plate, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, this is the real prosperous age, since my Tang Zhenguan, the people of my Central Plains no longer have the fear of famine." This merit should be the first to recommend Lantian Hou. ”
Li Dongsheng was still introducing to Li Shimin, who didn't know when to squeeze in, at this time: "Your Majesty, the biggest feature of sweet potatoes is that they don't pick the ground, even if they are saline-alkali land and mountains that can't store water, they can still grow very well." And sweet potatoes grow in the ground, so they are not afraid of disasters such as hail locusts, food crops such as rice and millet need plants to mature to harvest, but sweet potatoes are different, as long as they are planted, it will grow, and the roots can be dug out and eaten at any time, which is the best crop in the world at present! ”
Li Shimin nodded again and again after hearing this, Li Dongsheng happened to hear where Yang Hongli said that he wanted Datang to change all crops to sweet potatoes, and hurriedly persuaded: "Yang Shangshu, don't!" ”
"What? Isn't it possible? ”
"Your Majesty, I paid attention to this sweet potato after listening to a Hu merchant, and I looked for it for six years before I saw it by chance in the Western Regions. Because he did not have an in-depth understanding of this plant, Weichen took it to his home and cultivated it seriously, so as to sum up the experience and promote it to other places. Li Dongsheng talked eloquently, this opportunity is also rare, just to promote the sweet potato: "This sweet potato cannot be used as a staple food, first of all, the potato must first be left for seeding, then cut the seedlings, and finally cuttings." This is all done by manpower. Secondly, field management is also labor-intensive. Sweet potatoes grow rapidly on the stems and leaves, and if they are not removed, they will block out the sun, resulting in reduced sweet potato yields. Therefore, the sweet potato seedlings should be turned and harvested frequently. I have to do it every few days. These are the problems that Wechen found in the trial at home, as for the other problems, due to the short time and small place, they have not been found. ”
"So you didn't mean to hide it?" Li Ji came out and said. Li Dongsheng really wanted to give him a thumbs up. is worthy of being a well-known general, and his timing and speaking skills are so accurate.
"Back to Your Majesty, Shangshu, Wang Kun's so-called I have good things to hide and not report, which is ill-intentioned. That's what the typical layman says. Therefore, this kind of person who is not even proficient in his own job content cannot do things at all. ”
"Okay, then tell me why you hide the sweet potatoes from outsiders? What's your idea? ”
"Your Majesty, because sweet potatoes are an alien species, crossing the vast sea, thousands of miles have been brought to my Datang, the first thing we need is stability, to let the sweet potatoes live in Datang first, and then we have a small range of farming, compare the farmland where sweet potatoes are planted and the surrounding farmland to see if sweet potatoes will affect the ecology. If you do a small experiment, you can see the effect, and if there is a problem, you can control things within a reasonable range, which I call the test field. ”
With Li Dongsheng's explanation of sweet potatoes, the ministers in the hall came to their senses, and they all discussed excitedly, and some people even asked questions, and Li Dongsheng also answered them one by one.
Xie Wenju's face was ugly, and today it seemed that it was another failure. The people of Yushitai have not bounced Li Dongsheng several times, which shows how strong Li Dongsheng's holy family is, especially the tragic result of Wang Kun's scolding, and it will definitely stop for a period of time in the future.
"Pilot area?" Li Shimin is very smart, and he knows this benefit after a careful taste. Fang Xuanling also nodded again and again, praising Li Dongsheng for his young and promising work, and his discipline, and he was a talent.
There was only one person in the hall who was not smiling. The eldest grandson Wuji was standing in the line of civil officials in the palace, he looked at Li Dongsheng's well-defined side face from such a distance, his straight back, and his calm and unhurried bearing in the face of the tide of impeachment, he felt tremendous pressure. His son used to be the pride of the sky, and everyone in Chang'an City loved him, and since Li Dong was promoted to Chang'an, his son's status has plummeted.
