Chapter 671: Luck, Advice
"I didn't expect there to be such a thing overseas!"
Even after Li Tai listened to Shu An's story, his face couldn't help but show a trace of incredulity.
You must know that this thing is undoubtedly a divine object for the entire Tang people.
But all this is thanks to this Grandpa An, you must know that if there is no reminder from Grandpa An, then all this is really hard to say.
After all, if he said that there were potatoes overseas, even Li Tai himself didn't believe it.
Not to mention other people, it is precisely for this reason that this time the people of the world should be grateful to Grandpa An.
"In addition to the potatoes themselves, there is also something about the Emperor Taishang, which may be a cause."
In addition to the potatoes themselves, Shu An also talked about Li Yuan.
In his opinion, if it weren't for Li Yuan planting potatoes, then Li Shimin probably wouldn't want these princes to plant them.
But the planting is not bad, of course, provided that these princes plant it themselves.
If it is handed over to the next person to plant, then naturally it will not have much effect, but presumably these princes will not take Li Shimin's words as a deaf ear.
Now Li Shimin still has a lot of majesty, even Li Chengqian is not so bold.
"Thank you Grandpa Ann!"
When he knew everything, Li Tai couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face and said out.
Now that he knows about potatoes, Li Tai naturally will not forget to continue to ask Grandpa An how to grow potatoes.
He didn't think about competing for anything, mainly because of his own freedom.
If he could leave Chang'an City, he would like to take Yaya to some places.
Regarding Qingque's inquiry, Shu An naturally didn't mind teaching some, of course, he still shook his head in his heart.
Or I don't know if it's happy or sad, there are some things that you don't compete, but the end result may not be satisfactory.
After asking for advice, Li Tai also didn't stay long and went back.
"It is estimated that Li Tai should be the most relaxed."
Looking at Li Tai's departing figure, Shu An couldn't help but murmur softly.
Among the many royal children, Li Tai should be the luckiest one, and he is also the most open-minded.
said that he was lucky, but Li Tai was born similar to Li Shimin in terms of identity, and in addition, he was also the most pleasing.
But it is the one that is least like competition, which leads to the fact that although some people are jealous, they don't take it to heart.
After thinking of this, Shu An's eyes flickered, and people didn't know what they were thinking.
........
The next morning, if it is an ordinary time, there should not be too many things in the early dynasty.
However, today's early dynasty is obviously a little different, at least many ministers are serious above their faces.
Of course, there are also some ministers who watch the play, such as the military generals.
For the generals, they are not too interested in what is happening in the court, especially what they think is a small matter.
I didn't expect that these civil servants would make a big fuss and even make trouble in the court.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your previous explanation and let the princes concentrate on their homework!"
Among them, the first to come out is Kong Yingda, who was born in the Confucian family, and is a famous Confucian in the world.
Except for the Duke An Xuan, it can basically be said that he is standing at the top of Shilin, and he still has the style of a literati.
Not to mention that Kong Yingda is responsible for teaching many princes, so whether it is as an example or anything, he needs to stand up.
"Please think twice about this matter!"
"Yes, many princes are already busy with their schoolwork, how can they waste time on useless things."
.......
After someone spoke, naturally many people spoke one after another, and for a while, there was a bit of a noisy atmosphere in the court.
Of course, there are those who are silent about this matter, but no one has expressed support for it.
Li Shimin on the dragon chair didn't seem to have any expression on his face, and there was no anger in his heart.
On the contrary, I feel a little funny, after all, the ignorant are not guilty, and few people know about potatoes.
Thinking of potatoes, Li Shimin's complexion is also much better, and there are even a lot of smiles on the corners of his mouth.
After negotiating with the father, and after asking for some potato cultivation methods, the matter about potatoes can also be made public.
Although there is no way to popularize it at the first time, when the news spreads all over the world, it should be until the Chinese New Year.
At that point, the next batch of potatoes should be in place, and there will be more on top of the quantity, at least some of them can be supplied.
The most important thing is that the announcement of this news is enough to further suppress the price of rice.
Although there was grain from Annam and Lingnan, it was mainly due to the previous accumulation, so it was suppressed.
With the previous accumulation used up, although Annan and Lingnan can have three seasons a year, it is impossible to suppress the price of rice.
But if it's a potato, then it's enough to make the family behind those rice merchants start to panic.
Li Shimin's intention is naturally here, and of course he has obtained the consent of his father.
After all, Li Shimin was also afraid that announcing this matter would affect the prestige of Yafu, but it seemed that Yafu didn't care.
Now that Shu has completed the task of being a sage, he naturally doesn't care about offending the family and the like, which will affect his reputation.
And potatoes are enough to make the people of the world grateful, and there may be losses for some families, but the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others standing in the front row also saw the expression of this emperor, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.
"What's the matter, there seems to be something wrong with Your Majesty's expression."
At this time, many ministers secretly muttered, could there be something they didn't know about this matter.
"Silence!"
Li Shimin's voice sounded, and the entire court fell silent in an instant.
This is not the time when this emperor has just ascended the throne.
On top of the majesty, it was enough to make the entire court dare not move, but it didn't take long.
Soon the voice of the emperor began to sound.
"I also have a happy event to share with you."
"This matter originated from Yafu An Xuangong, but it is a great joy for Datang."
"About two or three years ago, An Xuangong once counted a hexagram for the people of the Tang Dynasty."
.......
The voice of this emperor above the court reached the ears of every minister.
However, Li Shimin did not rush to talk about some potatoes, but started from the beginning.
But in the case of this story, there are a lot of false elements, but who made Shu An push it to the prediction of heaven.
In later generations, this reason may seem deceitful, but in this era, many people can trust it very much.
Despite this, many ministers also wondered in their hearts, that is, this story did not seem to be related to the previous incident.
