Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 212 Potatoes produce sixty shi per mu, shocking civil and military officials
Soon, Xu Jingzong brought Li Er to a potato field: "Your Majesty, start harvesting potatoes from here today!"

"Xu Jingzong, how many acres of potatoes are planted on this farmland?" Li Er asked Xu Jingzong with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, ten acres of potatoes have been planted on this farmland!" Xu Jingzong answered Li Er's question respectfully.

Li Erlong looked delighted and pulled the queen: "Queen, let's dig potatoes from here today, haha!"

Empress Changsun nodded.Xu Jingzong then handed over the hoe he had prepared long ago to Li Er and Empress Changsun!

Yuchihuan, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Yaojin, and the princes and princes also had hoes in their hands.

But in order to protect Li Er's safety, no one can approach Li Er with a hoe.

Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao stood next to Li Er with a murderous look in their armor. The two of them were like two iron towers, giving people the feeling of being as immobile as a mountain.

Li Er came to a row of potato seedlings, eager to try: "Xiao Yuchi Aiqing, how do you dig potatoes?"

Yu Chihuan immediately stepped forward, pointed to the opposite side of the field ridge, and explained: "Your Majesty, digging potatoes is the same as digging yams, you can't dig from the top, you should dig from the bottom!"

"Little Wei Chihuan, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have dug up the potatoes!" After Li Er finished speaking, he swung his hoe to the opposite field row!
Swipe!

In an instant, the hoe went deep into the ridge of the field. When Li Er picked up the hoe, he immediately dug out the potatoes wrapped in the soil.

Li Er was both surprised and delighted. He immediately shook the dirt off the hoe, and then bent down to pick up potatoes.

The roots of these potatoes are full of fist-sized potatoes, and they are very well-proportioned. The more Li Er looks at them, the more he likes them.

Empress Changsun picked up a potato and smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, these potatoes are the same size as the potatoes we eat!"

"Queen, this one potato has produced twenty potatoes, which weighs a full liter, and the yield of this acre of potatoes is at least twenty shi!"

Although Li Er is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he has quick logical thinking and can measure the weight of potatoes in front of him in an instant.

Empress Changsun nodded and said yes: "It is really a blessing for the people of Tang Dynasty that Yuchihuan donated potatoes to us!"

Yu Chihuan said modestly: "The humble minister eats the emperor's salary, and should share the country's worries!"

Li Er patted Yuchihuan's small head and said: "Yuchihuan, you didn't deceive me this time. When you grow up, I will promote you to be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Although Yu Chihuan had received Li Er's promise, he felt that it was better for him to keep a low profile.

Xu Jingzong was close to Li Er, and he was secretly happy for Yu Chihuan when he heard that Li Er had promised Yuchihuan the post of prime minister.

Next, Li Er took Empress Changsun, Princess Changshan, and Yuchihuan to dig a ridge of potatoes!
Civil and military officials also brandished hoes to dig other fields full of potato seedlings.

In a blink of an eye, the entire Shanglin Garden was a scene of farming with a hoe.

Half an hour later, the potato field was finally dug up, and the harvest of ten acres of potatoes piled up like a mountain!

Standing next to the pile of potatoes as tall as a person, Li Er happily said, "Come here, calculate the yield per mu of potatoes immediately!"

"My minister complies with the order!" Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, immediately stepped forward to receive the order.

Yan Liben, the general supervisor, then led his craftsmen to weigh the potatoes.

Yan Lide and Yan Liben were two brothers, they could be officials in the same court because of their real abilities.

Basically all the murals in the Tang Dynasty Palace were created by the two brothers, which is enough to show that they are not just people who live in vain.

Soon, the mountains of potatoes were put into sacks and weighed. In less than a stick of incense, the yield per mu of ten acres of potatoes came out.

Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, took the data in his hand, and excitedly ran to Li Er to announce the good news: "Your Majesty, the yield of potatoes per mu is more than 630 shi, and a total of [-] shi of potatoes has been harvested in ten mu!"

"Yan Lide, are you sure there is no problem with the data?"

Li Er was dumbfounded. Although he knew that the yield of potatoes per mu was not less than [-] shi, but [-] shi per mu was too exaggerated.

Changsun Wuji was also dumbfounded: "The maximum yield of rice is only three shi, but the yield of potatoes is [-] shi mu?"

"Your Majesty, Yan Lide is a great Confucianist. Since he said so, it must be absolutely true!"

Wei Zheng was very happy, because his family also planted ten acres of potato fields a few days ago.

However, Wei Zheng's potato seeds were given to him by Princess Changshan, so even if Li Er knew about it, he would not blame him for planting potatoes secretly!
Other civil and military officials also echoed Wei Zheng's words. They believed that Yan Lide would not falsely report the data!
"Yan Lide, just to be cautious, you should weigh the potatoes again!"

Although Li Er was delighted, he decided to weigh the potatoes again.

"My minister obeys the order!" Yan Lide immediately went to arrange for the craftsmen to weigh the potatoes.

With the previous experience, the craftsman who will be the supervisor only took half a stick of incense to weigh the potatoes this time.

"Your Majesty, the exact yield of potatoes per mu in Shanglinyuan is 63 stones, and a total of 630 stones of potatoes have been harvested!"

Yan Lide reported the yield of potatoes per mu to Li Er with excitement.

Li Er was both surprised and delighted: "So, the [-] mu of potatoes I planted in Shanglin Garden won't yield more than [-] shi?"

Yan Lide nodded and said yes: "Your Majesty, I believe that Shanglinyuan potatoes can harvest at least 12 shi!"

Li Er waved his hand.

"Come here, dig up all the potatoes immediately. I want to see how many rock potatoes can be harvested from these potato fields today!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xu Jingzong did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered thousands of farmers in Shaofu Huangzhuang to dig potatoes.

Except for Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji, the Tang officials basically saw potatoes for the first time, so they were also digging potatoes in full swing.

Li Er and Empress Changsun also joined the army of digging potatoes.

Princess Changshan didn't want to stay with Li Er and the others, so she and Yuchi Huan went to dig potatoes near Lishan Mountain.

At this moment, the Turkic killer lurking in Lishan finally began to show up.

"Yuchihuan, I never thought that you escaped from the protective circle of Li Er's Yulin army and came here to die. God help me!"

Helu Moluo lay in ambush for a long time, when he saw Yuchihuan approaching Mount Li, he immediately brought thirty killers down the mountain.

These Turkic killers were all dressed in black, wearing black masks, holding horizontal knives, hanging bows and arrows, and their murderous aura made people shudder.

Qi Shuai is no longer in Shanglinyuan. He returned to Chang'an City this morning after setting up an ambush to wait for the good news.

Even if these Turkic killers were captured by Habayashi Wei, there is no evidence to accuse Qi Shuai of assassinating Yuchi Huan!
In the last Liu family extermination case, Qi Shuai used such alibi to clear his suspicions and avoid catastrophe.

And Yuchihuan didn't know that the danger was coming, he was still facing the loess, concentrating on digging potatoes.

Seeing that Yuchihuan was sweating profusely, Princess Changshan immediately took out a towel to help Yuchihuan wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Yuchihuan was full of happiness and worked even harder to dig potatoes!
