A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Daughter knows." Chang Le bowed his head and his words were a little choked up.

Di Renjie was inexplicably excited when the emperor came to see his teacher in person!Sure enough, my master is a great person, and he let the current emperor visit him at a young age.

Getting back to the topic, Li Er looked at Gu Qing, who had sly eyes, "Qing Que said you have food?"

"Yes...a little bit." Gu Qing said coyly.

"What are potatoes?" Li Er continued to ask.

"Your Majesty is here with you." Gu Qing took Li Er around his house, there are several small warehouses behind the Taoist temple, "They are all inside."

"Open." Li Er looked at the small warehouse and said.

"That." Gu Qing whispered, "Your Majesty, step back a little, it might be a little too much."

Li Er took a step back.

Gu Qing said again, "Your Majesty, step back a little more."

"You're never finished!" Li Er couldn't help it.

"Okay." Gu Qing suddenly opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Li Er's eyes went dark, and countless potatoes poured out of the warehouse and fell on him.

"Say it, stand back a little." Gu Qing looked at Li Er's embarrassed appearance.

Until the last potato fell, Li Er was submerged half of his body, he calmed down his breathing and picked up one, "This is the potato."

"Yes." Gu Qing said.

"How much is the yield per mu?" Li Er continued to ask.

"Probably..." Gu Qing thought about it and said, "Not much, only 34 shi per mu."

"What are you talking about!" Fang Xuanling took a step forward, "One mu and thirty stones! Gu Qing, don't talk nonsense!"

"Really! The teacher really only has so many, and the variety is not particularly good, there are only so many." Gu Qing said and pointed to the other three warehouses, "There are potatoes in them."

Do you think thirty stone is too little?Fang Xuanling suddenly felt that the weather was getting hotter.

"One mu of grain and thirty shi!" Li Er asked Gu Qing, "Do you know what crime it is to deceive the emperor!"

"There are those growing in that field." Gu Qing dug out a potato plant, digging out the soil and roots.

Li Er straightened his eyes, there are seven or eight potatoes connected by the roots, each one is the size of a fist, thirty stones!Thirty stones per acre!This is auspicious for Datang!

"How do you eat this thing?" Fang Xuanling thought of the important point.

"The teacher asked well." Gu Qing said and started to make salt-baked potatoes, "Actually, there are many kinds of this food, you can eat it boiled or baked, but it's not easy to cook, it's better to boil it, boil it for more than half an hour."

Princess Changle has been standing aside, watching Gu Qing explain Tuo to her father, she can't help but envy Wu Mei, who has a husband who treats his wife so well.

After finishing a pot of salt-baked potatoes, Gu Qing took them out one by one, some were hot while holding them while touching his ears.

Li Er looked at the thin layer of salt foam on the potatoes, "Your food is too much of a waste of salt, not many people in Tang Dynasty can afford to eat like you."

"There are other ways to eat this." Gu Qing disagrees, "Actually, the minister's family is all refined fine salt, and there is no need to spend money to sell official salt."

"You know how to make salt?" Li Er's eyes widened.

"It's not difficult." Gu Qing peeled one and handed it to Li Er, "Your Majesty can eat it."

Fang Xuanling noticed that as long as a potato has a very thin layer of skin, the inside is edible, and the value of the potato was once again raised in his heart.

"One or two is enough to feed the hunger." Gu Qing said and peeled one for his teacher and eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly at Gu Qing and didn't say much.

"You really know how to make salt?" Li Er was sure in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't kill this kid at the beginning, and he really had goods in his stomach.

Gu Qing nodded, "It's actually quite simple, you can learn it once you learn it!"

The taste of the potatoes is good, fragrant and delicious. Li Er nodded and stood up in satisfaction, "Although your food is not too much, it can also solve the urgent need. I have taken it away. You are willing."

"Take it away?." Gu Qing said, "Your Majesty is buying food from the minister? At this price..."

"The price is up to you." Li Er was in a good mood, and his headache stopped immediately, "I will send someone to pick it up, and you can come to Tai Chi Palace to ask me for the money."

Li Er left while eating potatoes, feeling very good.

Gu Qing sat on the pile of potatoes with a slumped face, looking hopeless, and went to the Tai Chi Palace to ask the emperor for money?Dare I take it?Feeling aggrieved, he dropped a potato, "I don't want to be such a bully."

puff...

Princess Changle, who had been standing aside, couldn't help laughing at Gu Qing's dejected look.

Gu Qing looked back at Princess Changle, she held back her smile and left and returned to the Taoist temple, then raised her head to look at the sky, the emperor didn't pay for things, there is no law.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Gu Qing had no love in his life, Di Renjie asked in a low voice, "Did the teacher lose money?"

"It's more serious than losing money." Gu Qing sobbed, "Di Renjie, you have to remember that the people in the royal family are all bad guys, they don't pay for what they take!"

Di Renjie understood something, "Teacher, you are a great meritorious deed for helping the victims."

"Alas..." With a long sigh, Gu Qing returned home with a disheveled face, in a bad mood!Wu Mei?Where is Wu Mei?I want to show her a majestic and mighty big baby.

Chapter 91

The potatoes were taken away by Li Er's men, more than 3000 shi. Under the political machine of Datang, disaster relief began to operate. The disaster was neither big nor small. Datang's actions were very fast. The transportation of potatoes was timely, and the first official appearance of potatoes in Datang was in the form of disaster relief.

On this day, every minister in the court put a few salt-baked potatoes in front of him, until Li Er came to the court, "You have potatoes in front of you. You can know how many stones this product produces per mu."

There was a lot of discussion in the court, Cheng Yaojin stared at the potato in front of him, and bit down the salt on the belt, and suddenly his mouth felt bitter, "It's so salty!"

Relatively speaking, the civil servants are more refined. They first observe its shape, and then imitate Fang Xuanling's gentleness of peeling off the potato's coat and biting it off, eh!Soft and delicious.

There are three things going up today, the first thing is Gu Qing's offering of potatoes, this kind of potatoes with an yield of more than [-] shi per mu, this kind of auspiciousness is enough to make Datang's grain production a step up, and now it is a matter of rewarding.

Wei Zheng stepped out of court, knowing the importance of potatoes as a new food in his heart, he said, "Your Majesty, Gu Qing is still young, and I think a county man is enough."

"Not good." Cheng Yaojin also said, "If we want to say Gu Qing's credit, first is the new paper and movable type printing, then there is the explosive that can be called a weapon of the military and the country, and the liquor minister thought it was the county magistrate."

"Hmph!" Wei Zheng snorted coldly, "The profit from the liquor must have gone into your pocket."

"What the hell! You're jealous!" Cheng Yaojin was not convinced.

"The old man will not be with you." Wei Zheng said.
