Chapter 53
"I hope Your Majesty will find out. I was just trying to test the Duke of Qi's thoughts. A few days ago, someone heard that the Duke of Qi was walking very close to Xu Wen. I don't know what the two of them are planning. Now the two of them are fighting against the sweet potatoes in the hands of the minister. I also have a lot of opinions, maybe because I think sweet potatoes are a good thing, and the whole Tang Dynasty should not be allowed to grow them."

"Good thing? Didn't he say yesterday that no one would want this thing if it was thrown in the Western Regions?"

Cheng Yu smiled, and immediately turned around and waved his hand. A plainly dressed servant came in with a bag.

"This is the result of my cultivation in the past few days. This kind of seeds and plants did not come from the Western Regions, but I just got it by chance a few days ago. This kind of seeds are also somewhat unique to harvest, and the time is very short. .”

"So, what benefits can this thing bring to Datang?"

"There is not much improvement in profit, but it can greatly reduce our consumption. You see, its planting time is short, and the harvest here is large. Doesn't it solve most of our food problems?" With the increasing number of refugees being detained in recent years, it is not that easy to provide everyone with a hot meal."

Li Shimin's frowning brows suddenly loosened.

Yes, I was only thinking about the meaning of this thing, but I forgot to see if it was useful. Then I took a deep look at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu immediately bowed his head very respectfully, and presented this thing here.

"Sweet potatoes don't need to occupy too much area when planted in the ground, and some other plants can be planted on the ground. It's the best of both worlds. I hope His Majesty can think about it, and have a few words of kindness with Duke Qi, so that she can accept this thing as soon as possible. And a few days ago, Princess Changle also said that this sweet potato tastes good."

"I didn't expect it to be that little girl again. In the past few days, I found him everywhere."

"It's not all the filial piety of Princess Changle. I went to patrol for your majesty first. Princess Changle also went to investigate the farmland in the countryside. Whether it is land, sowing things and fertilizers, all the farms can do it. You can find it.”

When I heard that Cheng Yu not only praised himself as a wise king, but also praised his most beloved daughter, my impression of him improved slightly.

It seems that we can't all listen to the nonsense of that guy Changsun Wuji. Could it be that he is relying on Queen Changsun to be doted on by him here, and he actually wants to take care of his own family affairs because his hands are so long.

"That minister will not delay His Majesty's early rest, and will go to bed early tomorrow morning, but I hope His Majesty can hold on, and I will invite you to come when we are almost done arguing."

"Don't worry, this sweet potato has won my approval, and I will carry it forward for you. If you reward it, I will talk about it tomorrow."

Cheng Yu's face was beaming with joy, knowing that this time things are pretty sure and there should be no problem.

After this guy retreated here, he actually saw Queen Changsun coming.

Realizing what he had promised the boy before, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.

"What is Changsun Wuji doing recently? I heard that he is a bit at odds with that kid here, and he doesn't plan to promote that sweet potato."

"How do I know what my brother is doing? He doesn't come to me often. Changle just said two days ago that the sweet potatoes are delicious and the movements here are very simple. Does your Majesty want me to persuade my brother?"

"exactly."

Li Shimin pulled Empress Changsun to his side and patted his hand gently. He and Empress Changsun had been husband and wife for more than 30 years.

Here, you can know each other's thoughts by just making eye contact, so there is no half-cover up between the two of them.

"I don't know what the queen wants. I think this thing is indeed good. It can bring a lot of help to the entire Tang Dynasty. Maybe the previous food disaster problem can be solved here. We can still use it. The expanded crowd will help more refugees here."

"The concubine thinks it is a good thing, but if he is categorical on the elder brother's side, there is no way for the concubine to agree with all of this."

"Then when it's almost time to rest, I'll pay a visit in person. It just so happens that I haven't caught up with him in the past few days, and I don't know what he's been up to lately."

When Empress Changsun heard Li Shimin's words, the corners of her mouth curled up and she smiled very happily.

This is the favor he gave to himself alone, which no other concubine had, so he made himself feel very happy.

The two of you are here, you and me, and you will soon know the next signs.

……

At this time, everyone at the door was a little surprised, as if they didn't expect to see him sitting here with a pleading apology.

"Could it be that Qi Guogong's strong medicine yesterday was so hard that it directly woke him up?"

"It shouldn't be. How is it possible with his temperament? Besides, the sweet potato is not a bad thing, but that guy can't accept it. Qi Guogong has some own plans here."

Everyone knows that Qi Guogong has other sources of income, so it is naturally impossible to let this sweet potato pass through here, otherwise how can he take advantage of the rest of his property?

"Let's say a few words less. If Qi Guogong hears about it, he will trouble us here again if he doesn't guarantee it."

"You see, you are hesitating about these small things now. You will know what will happen here when you go to the court, but didn't you say that you want to invite Sun Simiao here? That is a miracle doctor who is rare in a thousand years. I still think about it." Let's take advantage of the emperor's light to see if we can see a doctor."

"You don't have to dream here, even the rest of the important ministers didn't line up, what skill do you have to be able to pick up this stuff on the Internet here, but to be honest, whether this sweet potato is good or bad, you have no idea about this matter Do you understand?"

"You asked me about the kung fu, why don't you listen to those people, maybe you can know the truth this time from their mouths."

It was none other than Xu Wen who was better with Changsun Wuji who talked eloquently among the crowd.

Unexpectedly, he came quite early today and saw the man kneeling here at the door, the expression on his face became even more smug.

You know, if you can catch him, it will be a perfect situation.

"I have told everyone a long time ago that these sweet potatoes are the least popular thing in the Western Regions. They should not be circulated in the first place. I don't know who insisted on moving this kind of potatoes here. Fortunately, now our Qi Guogong stands up. And out, drive things out here."
