Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 171 Winter Wheat

"Uh..." Li Shimin suddenly felt very embarrassed, he found himself in front of Li Fu, he seemed to have no majesty at all.

There is no way but to put away the emotions just now, Li Shimin begged Li Fu in a discussing tone, "Prince, your father is in the palace, and now you eat pickled vegetables every day, but your mother and concubine eat fresh vegetables , this is not good!"

Concubine Yang Gui who was on the side was shocked when she heard Li Shimin's words.

She really didn't expect that Li Shimin, who had always been one-sided in the palace, would actually act servile in front of her son, which was too shocking.

But Li Shimin didn't care so much, he was his own family in front of him, it was nothing to lose face in front of his own family, as long as he could eat fresh vegetables in the palace, everything was worth it.

[Fuck me, wasn't she quite arrogant just now, why did you admit cowardly so quickly?This style of painting is wrong! 】

With a half smile on his face, Li Fu glanced at Li Shimin lightly, nodded and said, "That's fine, anyway, I will send vegetables to my concubine and son every day, so let's give an extra one by the way."

Li Shimin looked helpless, the same family, why are Concubine Yang Gui and Princess Jinyang treated better than him?Li Shimin's mood was not beautiful again in an instant.

But there was no way, Li Shimin knew that there was no reason to argue with Li Fu, and he might not get any benefits.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Shimin looked into the distance, and unexpectedly found that a few acres of land not far away were planted with food crops that should not appear in this season.

According to Li Shimin's common sense, food crops are planted in spring and harvested in autumn, once a year.

So he has never heard of it, let alone seen any crops grown in winter. Of course, the vegetables grown in greenhouses just seen are another matter, but what are these crops in front of him?
You must know that in Li Shimin's cognition, planting food crops in winter is simply the behavior of a prodigal.

Who doesn't know that because the winter is too cold, the crops can be planted, and the crops can be frozen to death in just one night because of frost or snow, or even just because of the cold weather.

But the question is, why are the crops I see growing so well?Can't see the slightest sign of being frozen to death?

"Prince, what are you planting there? Why are you planting them in the ground in such a cold day? Are you not afraid of being frozen to death?" Li Shimin asked Li Fu curiously.

"Oh, that's just ordinary millet, hasn't Father seen it before?" Li Fu replied casually.

[Fuck, Li Er, this old man's eyes are really poisonous, he actually saw the winter wheat I just planted! 】

[Mistake, I forgot, forgot, if I knew this, I should have planted winter wheat in another place. 】

[It seems that one really shouldn't be lazy, but who would have thought that, just thinking about eating, who would have known that Li Er would come to the East Palace to watch Lao Tzu farm the land at such a time! 】

[No way, who made me want to eat cakes, winter wheat is a must to make all kinds of delicious bread and cakes! 】

[Although the current Tang Dynasty already has winter wheat, the yield and taste are not at the same level as the winter wheat that has been improved and hybridized in later generations, especially the yield cannot be improved. 】

[Li Er probably never imagined that with just a few acres of winter wheat in front of him, the yield per mu can reach more than [-] catties! 】

What?One thousand kilograms of winter wheat per mu?Li Shimin originally wanted to stretch out his hand to pull a stalk of winter wheat, but when he heard Li Fu's inner voice, he withdrew his outstretched hand instantly.

My God, where did the prince get such good things, and how did he do it?
Li Shimin doesn't understand hybridization and improvement at all, but he only needs to know that the so-called winter wheat in front of him can produce more than two thousand catties per mu.

It was because of the birth of potatoes before, and the famine after the severe drought in Shu has been well resolved, and even Bajun in Shu has kept the autumn harvest because of this. In the past, this was simply impossible!
So a potato is so useful, but because potatoes are only suitable for planting in spring and summer, there is no way to plant them after autumn, but if there is winter wheat in front of you...

A very good idea suddenly popped up in Li Shimin's mind, so he pretended to have an unintentional smile and asked Li Fu: "Then can this kind of millet be grown in severe cold?"

"That's natural, Father has already seen this." Li Fu still had an indifferent attitude, "But Father, this minister is just a seed that I got by chance from Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and I tried to plant it myself. It's fun."

With his old mother in front of him, Li Fu dare not tell the truth, otherwise his old mother would definitely sell him.

However, Li Shimin is not interested in the origin of winter wheat at all. He is only interested in one thing now, that is, winter wheat can be grown in severe cold weather.

In this way, after the potatoes are planted, they can just be connected with winter wheat to complete the seamless connection. In this way, not only can the land be used perfectly, but also the annual harvest of the people can be increased a lot.

"It's nothing to look at." Li Fu pulled his mother and concubine, and greeted Li Shimin at the same time, "Father, mother and concubine, the snow seems to be falling heavily again, let's go back to the hall."

[Damn, why do you always feel that Li Er's eyes are not right?Could it be that Li Er saw something! 】

[I can't, Li Er is not a mud leg, how could he like the winter wheat of labor and management! 】

[Besides, labor and management plant winter wheat purely for making pasta, so don't really pay attention to it! 】

Li Shimin endured the ecstasy in his heart, and followed Li Fu back, he remembered the matter of Dongmai.

However, the timing is not ripe yet, and Li Shimin can only use it to make a fuss when the winter wheat is fully mature and the specific output is obtained.

Li Shimin believed that just letting the people in the court know the production of winter wheat would be enough to shock the court!

On the way back, Concubine Yang seemed to be remembering the past and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, just now Duke Qi and the others said, what is the matter with cotton clothes? What happened? The prince just happened to be here..."

"I really have to blame the crown prince for this matter. If you play well with two peaches and kill three scholars, the mess will be left to me in the end!" Li Shimin pretended to be angry, and told Concubine Yang the ins and outs of the matter.

Concubine Yang Guifei couldn't help but smile for a while, and she also gave Li Fu a reproachful look, "Fu'er, you're being naughty again, and you have caused such a big trouble for your father, but you didn't see that Qi Guogong and Lu Guogong, Really almost got into a fight!"
