Chapter 36 The Food That Falls from the Sky
As soon as Changsun Wuji said Cheng Yu's words, he immediately mocked him, fearing that if he was a second late, the job would be taken away by others.

"Yes, Cheng Yushi, everyone knows that this is the solution, but where can we get food now? We can't expect it to fall from the sky!" Li Shimin also said at this moment.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about it, why is Your Majesty the Son of Heaven? You are right. This food really fell from the sky!" Cheng Yu said.

"Oh, then tell me, how did this food fall from the sky?" Li Shimin asked with some interest at the moment.

"Hmph, I think you are playing tricks here, Cheng Yushi, this is the court, you can be cautious in your words and deeds.

This is not your place to tell stories! "

"Lord Changsun, if I am being deceptive, you will know if you listen below. Are you in such a hurry because you are running out of time?"

【Ding!The host said something to Zhangsun Wuji, points +10! 】

"You, you actually uttered such arrogant words, don't say that my official position is higher than yours. In terms of seniority, I am also your elder. Is this how you talk to your elders? You really have no tutor!"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji really had nothing else to say to Cheng Yu, so he started to talk about seniority with him.

"Master Changsun, respect is mutual. If that's the case, it was you who disrespected me first, and that's why I uttered such arrogant words. Otherwise, why would there be so many adults here, and I would only target you?"

【Ding!The host said something to Zhangsun Wuji, points +10! 】

"You, you!" Changsun Wuji was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Okay, don't worry about these issues any more, Cheng Yushi, hurry up and tell me what the food you fell from the sky is!" Li Shimin said at this moment.

If things go on like this, these two people must fight here. At this moment, he is worried about the food problem, but he doesn't have the heart to watch the two of them bicker.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I brought the food that fell from the sky today!"

As he spoke, Cheng Yu touched his arms, and after a moment, he took out a corn and a sweet potato, both of which were raw, of course.

This was what he exchanged in the system yesterday, and the rest came in handy at this moment.

As soon as the corn and sweet potatoes were brought out, the ministers present and Li Shimin were all very curious, because these were things they had never seen before.

"What is this, have you never seen it before?"

"Is this what Cheng Yu said, the food that fell from the sky?"

"I have a lot of research on food. There is almost nothing I haven't eaten from all over the world, but I have never seen this kind of food!"

The ministers are all discussing at this moment.

As for Changsun Wuji, when he saw that Cheng Yu did take out two kinds of food that he had never seen before, his face became even more ugly.

This Cheng Yu actually came prepared, and he didn't know where he got this novel thing.

"Cheng Yushi, what is this?" Li Shimin asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the yellow ones are called corns, and the dark ones are called sweet potatoes.

This is all food from the Western Regions. I bought it from a businessman from the Western Regions I met some time ago! "

"Corn? Sweet potato?" Li Shimin said that he had never heard of it.

"Cheng Yushi, why do you say that this kind of food fell from the sky?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, when there was a famine in our Tang Dynasty, I just happened to meet that businessman from the Western Regions and bought these two kinds of food. Isn't it God's blessing to our Tang Dynasty and bestowed upon us.

So I said, it fell from the sky! "

Cheng Yu was talking nonsense, and what he said was the same as the real thing, but this thing was rewarded by the system, so there is nothing wrong with saying that it fell from the sky.

"Oh? It's interesting what Cheng Yushi said!" Li Shimin said.

"Hmph! I think you're just playing tricks. No matter how good you are, how much can you have? Could it be that you want to use this thing in your hand to solve the food shortage?" Changsun Wuji continued.

"Of course not, Mr. Changsu, why don't you say that you are too confused, you will make such low-level mistakes, but I will not."

【Ding!The host said something to Zhangsun Wuji, points +10! 】

"Your Majesty, I thought this thing was novel at the time, so I bought some seeds from that Western Region merchant!" Cheng Yu said to Li Shimin.

"Cheng Yushi, even if there are seeds, it will take time for this thing to grow. Moreover, there is no way to solve the problem of drought!" Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty can rest assured about this, let's take this sweet potato as an example.

This thing is not afraid of drought, and the drier it grows, the sweeter it is.

The most important thing is that its ripening time is very short, it only takes one month to mature! "

"One month!" Li Shimin said in surprise.

Before that, their grain had a one-year growth period, and because of the limitation of planting technology, the yield per mu was very low.

Even in years with good harvests in previous years, there is not much food left.

This is why, in this famine year, they have no surplus food to take out.

But this thing can mature in a month, so isn't it equivalent to harvesting twelve times in a year!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin thought of another important question.

"Cheng Yushi, how much is the yield per mu of this thing, it can't be that the yield per mu is very low!"

If this maturity cycle is at the expense of the yield per mu, then it doesn't make much sense, and it still won't solve their problem.

Changsun Wuji also thought so at the moment, he thought that Cheng Yu must have not thought of this question, and it depends on how he will answer.

As a result, Cheng Yu spoke very calmly, but what he said shocked everyone present.

"Returning to Your Majesty, sweet potatoes can produce tens of thousands of catties per mu!"

"What! Wan Jin! You are not joking with me!" Li Shimin panicked at the moment.

Based on the grain they are growing now, the yield per mu can reach several hundred catties, which is considered high yield, and the maturity cycle is still one year.

And for this sweet potato, the maturity time has been shortened to one month, and the yield per mu can reach ten thousand catties!This is simply a fantasy, something they dare not even dream about!
"What, Cheng Yushi just said that it can produce ten thousand catties per mu, how, how is this possible!"

"If this is true, won't we have no food to worry about after the Tang Dynasty?"

"This is too exaggerated. Cheng Yushi is talking nonsense!"

All the ministers discussed again.
