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

Chapter 546 The Peppers Planted by Li Er Are Ripe
To be rich, build roads first!
This sentence not only became a famous aphorism in later generations, but also what the ancients thought!
Therefore, Li Er used the money obtained from selling bird droppings to develop roads in prefectures and counties such as Shannan Road, and the civil and military officials were very supportive.

When Li Er saw that all the officials supported his will, he also felt a little smug.

After discussing the distribution of guano, Li Er began to discuss the next court meeting.

"My dear friends, if you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

Li Er asked civil and military officials as usual.

Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"

Li Er was surprised and asked: "Li Jing, what is your military department going to report to me?"

Li Jing raised his hand and replied: "Your Majesty, Su Dingfang, the general of Hedong Dao Zhonglang, recently went out to patrol Mobei, and found that there are many grasslands suitable for reclaiming wasteland. He wants to station troops there, so as to stabilize the borderlands for farming and fighting!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "Li Jing, Su Dingfang has a good idea, since he wants to station troops in Mobei, then I will do it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

Li Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Li Er would reject Su Dingfang's advice.

Li Er went on to say: "Liu Zhenghui, your household department will pull out a batch of cement and steel bars to support Su Dingfang in building the Beacon Tower!"

After leaving Chang'an City, there are endless grasslands and deserts.

Therefore, the Tang cavalry also need to set up beacon towers for early warning.

What Li Er did was not aimless.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out to lead the order without hesitation.

Seeing how thoughtful Li Er's arrangements were, Li Jing was also secretly relieved.

"Li Jing, if nothing happens, just step back first!"

Li Er waved his hand and sent Li Jing back to his original position.

"Wei Chen retire!"

Li Jing wisely returned to the ranks of officials of the Ministry of War.

Next, Li Er continued to discuss the state affairs and people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty with the civil and military officials.

Half an hour later, today's morning court meeting ended!

"Retreat!"

Wang Gonggong yelled and took Li Er out of the Xuanzheng Hall.

And all the civil and military officials also said in unison: "This humble minister sends your Majesty a respectful farewell!"

After the ceremony, hundreds of civil and military officials filed out and returned to the six ministries of the three provinces one after another to be on duty.

Yuchihuan was no exception, and he also returned to Zhongshu Province to be on duty.

……

Tai Chi Palace, Lizheng Palace!
In the morning, Empress Changsun supervised Jin Wang Li Zhi to study in Lizheng Hall School.

"In the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good..."

Jin Wang Li Zhi took a copy of the "Three Character Classic" and read it aloud.

Empress Changsun held a pot of corn in her hand, and these corns were used to reward Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Since Jin Wang Li Zhi finished reciting yesterday's text today, Empress Changsun rewarded Jin Wang Li Zhi with a piece of corn today.

Jin Wang Li Zhi is too lazy to recite "The Analects of Confucius" now after eating and drinking enough!

After a stick of incense, Jin Wang Li Zhi dismissed get out of class!

Empress Changsun then took Jin Wang Li Zhi to the backyard to water vegetables.

When Empress Changsun came to the vegetable field in the backyard, she was immediately shocked by the taller sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings.

"I didn't expect that the guano brought back from the island of guano is so fertile!"

Empress Changsun was familiar with Nongsang, and she immediately understood what was going on.

Then Empress Changsun went to water the pepper seedlings.

"Mother, these peppers are red, are they ripe?"

Jin Wang Li Zhi pointed to the red peppers and said in surprise and joy.

Empress Changsun beamed and said, "Zhier, these peppers can indeed be picked and eaten!"

"I ate chili fried pork today haha!"

Jin Wang Li Zhi was overjoyed!

Empress Changsun then picked red peppers with vegetables.

As for those green peppers, Empress Changsun didn't pick them off.

In order to make these pepper seedlings grow better, Empress Changsun also sprinkled some bird droppings on them to fertilize the field.

As for whether these pepper seedlings will grow taller tomorrow, Queen Changsun is also full of expectations.

Empress Changsun originally thought that the fertility of bird droppings was mediocre!
Now after fertilization experiments, Empress Changsun finally no longer objected to the Datang Navy's laborers mobilizing the sea to carry guano back to Beijing.

The ancient sea voyage is a career that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

Even for the Zhongzhou Navy, this time they spent at least [-] shi of grain and [-] shi of coal in order to go to sea!

But now the Zhongzhou navy has brought back millions of stones of guano, and all these efforts have paid off.

Empress Changsun then informed Li Er of the happy event in the back garden.

……

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace!
The memorial of Empress Changsun was soon presented to Li Er's desk.

When Li Er saw that Empress Changsun admired the guano, he immediately said triumphantly: "The maidservant Guanyin objected to me sending the Zhongzhou navy to the sea before, but now she finally doesn't object haha!"

The prince raised his hands and said, "My servant congratulates Your Majesty for being rewarded by the Empress Empress!"

Li Er pointed to the memorial in his hand and said, "Big Companion, the maidservant Guanyin said that the peppers she planted are already ripe, are the peppers I planted ripe today?"

The prince was dumbfounded and said: "Your Majesty, I have not inspected the pepper seedlings today!"

Li Er stood up and said, "Big companion, go out with me to see the pepper seedlings!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wang Gonggong didn't dare to neglect, he immediately took Li Er to inspect the pepper seedlings beside the well in the backyard.

After less than half a stick of incense, Li Er and Wang Gonggong came to the ten pepper trees.

Sure enough, as Li Er expected, at least half of the peppers that were still blue yesterday are now ripe!

"Haha, buddy, bring the basket, I'm going to cook with the peppers I planted myself today!"

Li Erlong was very happy, and immediately squatted down to pick the red peppers.

Eunuch Wang even ran back to the nearby vegetable field to get a vegetable basket.

Within half a stick of fragrance, the ripe peppers on the ten pepper trees had already been picked by Li Er.

These peppers just filled the basket.

Li Er carried the basket of seven vegetables and weighed it, and Longyan said joyfully, "I picked at least five liters of chili peppers today haha!"

The prince nodded and said yes: "Your Majesty, I will order the imperial chef to use these chili peppers to make chili fried pork today!"

"Big companion, hurry up and send these peppers to the Imperial Kitchen!"

After Li Er said that, he immediately handed the vegetable basket to Wang Eunuch.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

The prince took the vegetable basket and ran to the imperial dining hall.

Li Er then took the water basin to water the pepper tree!

After the watering was completed, Li Er returned to the Imperial Study Room to continue correcting the memorial.

At noon that day, Yushantang used the peppers picked by Li Er to make chili fried pork!
Li Er ate the dishes made with the peppers he picked, and his sense of happiness gradually increased.

This is the joy of harvest!
What Li Er is looking forward to now is that the pepper seeds will germinate and become seedlings!
When the time comes, Li Er will plant a large number of peppers in Shanglinyuanhuangzhuang.

The Zhongzhou Navy shipped back amazingly fertile bird droppings this time!
Bringing back the chili seasoning again!
This made Li Er's attitude towards the Datang navy going to sea also changed.

Now going to sea is no longer a thankless thing for Datang.
