Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Fang Xuanling was frightened by the horror of the dead pig.

"Young master Su, you have to save me. I believed what the demon monk said, and it was because I was confused for a while. It's all because of that damn concubine."

Fang Xuanling told the truth.

Su Yu said: "You belong to the early stage, and some people can save you. Think of a prescription for detoxification for you. And the old house, you are lustful, why blame the concubine."

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

Du Ruhui rejoiced secretly: At that time, this guy was selling pills to me, but luckily I didn't take them.

"Young master Su is kind enough to be reborn, and he will be worshiped by my old house."

Fang Xuanling turned his head and bowed.

Su Yu hurriedly helped him up, not for any other reason.

It's just that he is really old, and the elders are respected, so Su Yu doesn't accept this gift.

"Old Fang, don't worry, I will detoxify you. I will also help you find a way to solve this unspeakable secret."

Su Yu giggled.

Lao Fang shyly said: "This is ashamed."

Li Shimin and the queen pretended not to hear.

Some time later, Su Yu gave Fang Xuanling medicine to detoxify, and his body improved a lot.

Apart from going to court, Li Shimin almost ran to Sujiazhuang whenever he had time.

It used to be for Su Yu's tricks, but now it's for saving his life.

Follow Su Yu to escape the fate of sudden death at the age of 52.

Princess Changle almost became Su Yu's child bride-in-law, and almost never returned to Chang'an City, sticking to Su Yu wherever she went.

On this day, Li Shimin arrived at Sujiazhuang with the queen as usual.

Old farmers on the side of the road are harvesting corn.

"guest."

The old farmer stopped and called Li Shimin happily.

"Uncle, are you calling me?"

Li Shimin laughed.

Seeing the harvest in Sujiazhuang, Li Shimin was happy.

Not only was he happy for Su Yu, but he had already started to think about bad ideas in his heart.

He has never seen the grain grown here, and the yield is terribly high.

Next year, I must ask him for seeds, and I want to be ashamed.

"Guest, do you still remember when I told you to eat corn? It's ripe now, let's go to my house to eat corn."

The old farmer was outspoken and hospitable, and Li Shimin felt that it was hard to give up his hospitality.

"What do you think?"

Li Shimin asked the queen and Fang Du.

After coming to Sujiazhuang for so long, I have never been to the farmer's house in Sujiazhuang.

Several people were curious and wanted to know how the farmer's family was.

Moreover, they really want to know whether this corn is delicious or not.

"I was going to have a look."

The queen laughed.

Since everyone wanted to go, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Then bother."

The old farmer put down his work and took them home with a smile.

"Old man, how is the harvest this year?"

Fang Xuanling asked.

The old man laughed and said, "My wife and I are the only ones in my family. I have three sons, two daughters who are married, and four grandchildren. So, it is a family of nine. We have harvested 500 shi of grain this year."

The weight corresponding to one stone is different in each dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, one stone = 53KG.
It is equivalent to saying that this family harvested [-] catties of grain.

Li Shimin was shocked.

The queen was speechless, isn't this an astronomical figure?
Du Ruhui calculated that it was impossible to get 500 shi.

"Old man, don't joke, we ask sincerely."

Fang Xuanling laughed.

The old man laughed and said, "Guest, I don't believe people when I tell them that."

"You guys, it's normal if you don't believe it. If it was an old man, I wouldn't have believed it more than ten years ago. Ever since the young master got seriously ill, everything in this Sujiazhuang has changed. In the past, this field belonged to Mr. Su Yes, we are farming. We have worked hard all year round, and it is not bad to be able to get a full meal. Now, it’s really a big change.”

"In the past, I didn't wear warm clothes, didn't have enough food, and died of freezing and starving too much."

"After the young master got seriously ill, he gave us the land without paying taxes, and gave us money back."

"Teach us to farm, teach us to grow cotton and weave cloth, alas, there are too many."

"Nowadays, eat well and wear warm clothes, and live a comfortable life."

"My old man, life is like a dream."

The old farmer said with emotion.

Li Shimin listened in silence.

Even if he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that the people will have enough to eat.

In fact, historically, having enough to eat has always been a problem.

It is a matter of modern society to truly ensure that everyone has enough to eat.

In ancient times, as long as you can not starve to death, you are considered a prosperous age.

It can be seen how miserable life was in the past.

Entering Sujiazhuang, walking into the home of the old farmer, it is an independent small villa.

Constructed of masonry and cement, it is a small three-story villa, with farm tools and sundries on the bottom floor, living on the second floor, and warehouses on the third floor.

Never been in before.

Li Shimin was secretly surprised that such a nice house was better than some yamen.

Ordinary people just paste mud on the fence and build a thatched roof, that's all.

Even the great poet Du Fu also wrote "The Thatched Cottage is Broken by the Autumn Wind", let alone ordinary people.

"Come on, if you don't believe me, let me show you the food in my family."

The old farmer opened the door, and corn, wheat, and some unfamiliar things filled the warehouse of several hundred square meters, and it was very dry.

Fang Xuanling held a handful of wheat, very full grains.

The queen picked up one and chewed it, which was very good and of high quality.

"Old man, is every household here like you?"

the queen asked in surprise.

"Hey, go and see, who doesn't have tens of thousands of catties of grain at home?"

The old farmer laughed.

The queen finally understood.

Why did the children dare to feed the birds with grain when they first came to Sujiazhuang.

Because they can't finish it.

"Go, the corn is ripe."

A sweet smell came from downstairs.

The old woman cooked the corn, put it in a bowl, and served it up.

Li Shimin and the others sat down.

"Come on, try it, corn."

Du Ruhui picked up a piece of corn and saw the plate underneath.

It was not pottery, but porcelain as white as jade.

"Brother, is this a fake jade?"

During the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people used pottery, which was extremely rough.

At this time, Changnan Town, Xinping County, which later became Jingdezhen, fired porcelain as white as jade.

But it is very expensive, except for the royal palace and ministers and wealthy businessmen, most people can't see it at all.

The old farmer smiled and said, "I don't know. I just heard that this plate is good, so I bought it. It costs ten pennies each."

Everyone was speechless.

A plate is ten guan, really, richer than a first-rank official in the imperial court.

"Try it."

The old farmer took a bite himself.

After Li Shimin took a bite, he felt glutinous and sweet, and the more he chewed, the sweeter he became.

The queen was surprised: "This corn is so sweet, how much can one mu of land produce?"

The old farmer smiled and said, "Ten stones, this year's harvest is not very good."

Gee
The more people listened, the more surprised they became.

Du Ruhui ate the sweet taste, he knew very well that soldiers need this kind of sweet food.

Although he doesn't know calories, he knows that sweet things will fill you up and make you hungry.

"Here, have some popcorn."

The old woman brought out a plate of popcorn, and the sweet smell came out.

Regardless of eating appearance, the queen held corn in her hand and grabbed another handful of popcorn.

Eat in your mouth
"good to eat."
