Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Who the hell wants to grow potatoes day and night.

That's the result of Huang Shiren's stupid talent.

Chen Chu thought for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Master Changsun, you are right, I also want to guard there day and night, but... now there is a noble person sitting in Tudou base, who is more important than me. It's much more honorable, and the ability to grow potatoes is not inferior to mine, so what's the point of me staying there..."

What?

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian's eyes widened.

Li Er also felt strange: "Chen Chu, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Father, if you don't believe me, please come with me..."

Chen Chu turned around, beckoned for a coal carriage, and invited Li Er and the others to sit in the carriage.

The carriage turned around a hill and soon came to the potato base of Meishan Farm.

From afar, I could see dozens of farmers working on the farm, and a dozen cattle plowing back and forth.

After walking in, Changsun Wuji and others covered their noses.

Because the potato base is really smelly.

Li Er also covered his face and asked, "Chen Chu, what are you doing?"

Chen Chu explained: "Father, this is a fertile land. I have personally checked it out. The area around Meishan Mountain is the most suitable land for growing potatoes. However, it was barren before and the land was not fertile. If you want to grow big and good potatoes, fertile land is essential, so before the spring, you need to get all kinds of fertilizers to fertilize the land..."

Li Er listened and nodded.

Changsun Wuji covered his nose and asked, "Boy Chen, where is the noble person you mentioned? Maybe I can let the old man know..."

Chen Chu didn't speak, and continued to move forward with a few people.

Not far ahead, several farmers were dumping dung into the ground.

A fat figure intersperses among them, directing the farmers to work.

Gao Shilian said in surprise: "Oh, Your Majesty, that fat man is very familiar too!"

Li Er stared wide-eyed, watched carefully, and frowned.

At this time, the fat man shouted: "The first team, hurry up to pull the dung, and the second team, hurry up and make a ditch, let the dung flow everywhere, and in a few days, use the cattle to turn it over... ..."

The listener's voice is more familiar.

This……

This is the voice of Qi Wang Li Zhi.

Changsun Wuji was a little unbelievable, he ran up and took a closer look, and found that the person who was wrapped up thickly and was looking for someone with a stick was not Li Zhi or anyone else.

"Pheasant slave, you...why are you here?" Li Er stepped forward and was surprised when he saw Li Zhi's appearance clearly.

Li Zhi looked up and saw Li Er, the stick in his hand fell to the ground in fright, and he said in a panic: "Father... father emperor, my son is here to make potatoes..."

The majestic king of Qi actually came to farm?

This is going crazy!

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were dumbfounded.

What Chen Chu said was right, the people who planted potatoes here were indeed more noble than him.

Li Er said unhappily: "Chen Chu, you are messing around, how old is the pheasant slave, how can you let him grow potatoes?"

Chen Chu chuckled, stepped forward and said, "Father, this is your mistake. Although the pheasant slave is young, his ability to grow potatoes is not inferior to mine. If you don't believe me, please see..."

"Look at what?"

Chen Chu poked Li Zhi's arm.

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Li Er tremblingly.

Li Er took it over to have a look, and Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji also leaned over to stare.

Suddenly, the three of them were dumbfounded.

What I saw on the cover of the booklet was: Classification and usage of manure.

Big shit?

The dignified prince, the proud son of heaven, actually came to study dung?

Li Er was stunned.

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were dumbfounded.

Going crazy!

The world is going crazy!

Li Er's complexion suddenly turned blue and black.

……

Chapter 279 The Old Conspirator

Seeing Li Er, eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian, they were all dumbfounded.

Chen Chu's heart moved, and he took a step forward and said, "Father, His Royal Highness King Qi really cares about the people, and he is wholeheartedly for the great Tang community!"

Li Er was stunned: "Do you still care about the common people when you study dung?"

Chen Chu chuckled and explained: "Father, you can read the contents of this booklet..."

Li Er glanced at Chen Chu and opened the booklet.

Chen Chu quickly poked Li Zhi's arm.

Li Zhihao was a little confused, "What are you doing?"

Chen Chu whispered: "Your Highness, hurry up and tell the conclusion of your research, otherwise everyone will be in bad luck."

If Li Er can't give Li Er an explanation today, and Li Er's anger can't be quelled, the little fat man is probably over.

At that time, Chen Chu will have lost a general who grows potatoes.

There is no one in the world more suitable for growing potatoes than Li Zhi.

This little fat man can endure hardships and stand hard work without any complaints. The key is that he is not afraid of dirty work.

This is a man born to grow potatoes!

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "...the manure has a positive effect on the fertile land. There are four main types of manure. The first is the manure formed naturally by deciduous plants and trees. The manure of grass animals, the third is the manure of omnivores, and the fourth is human manure. After many experiments and researches, human manure is the best... It can be speculated that if manure is used reasonably, it must be fermented before use And other means of disposal, big dung can increase grain production by more than half!"

Li Zhi was endorsing, and he memorized his research conclusions verbatim.

Li Er and the others didn't take it seriously at first, but they were stunned when they heard that manure could increase grain production by more than half.

Increase production by more than half?

That means that the previous yield of [-] catties per mu can now reach [-] catties per mu.

If Datang's grain production can be increased by half, it will only take a few years, and the grain problem will be gradually alleviated.

In other words, even if there were no potatoes, the Tang Dynasty in the future would no longer be short of food.

Li Er grabbed Li Zhi's collar and asked, "Pheasant slave, what you said is true?"

Li Zhi was stunned, and asked back: "Father, you... what do you say is true?"

Li Erqi said: "Of course it is the saying that the grain production will be increased by half!"

Li Zhi was still stuttering and frightened at first, but when he heard this, he immediately said with firm eyes: "Father, of course it is true... My son has recently read a lot of books, all of which are from ancient times to the present." Agricultural books, most of which encourage the people to open up wasteland and how to plant, but burning this fertilizer means the use of manure. Manure is the best fertilizer. If it is used well, it is possible to double the yield, but if it is not used well , it may be counterproductive, and it is precisely because of this that many agricultural books do not mention it! Now, Erchen is at Meishan Farm, having nothing to do, just doing experiments again and again. This is the result of Erchen's research... ..."

"Cough cough..."

Beside, Chen Chu coughed lightly.

Li Zhi glanced at Chen Chu, and added: "Father, these are all taught by my brother-in-law. My son just did something casually, and the credit is all my brother-in-law."

Chen Chu was very happy when he heard this.

good boy!

No wonder I trust you so much!

My meals of goulash were not in vain.

Apart from Chen Chu's flickering, there were also those delicious potatoes that supported the little fat man to stay on Meishan Farm and work hard.

Li Er pondered for a while, raised his head, nodded and said: "Pheasant slave, I just blamed you wrongly. It turns out that you have been doing such great things that benefit the country and the people. If it is true as you said, the big things in the future The common people of Tang Dynasty should all be grateful to you, this shit is good, you have to study it carefully..."

After speaking, Li Er handed the brochure to Li Zhi, turned around and left.

gone?

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian looked confused.

"Your Majesty, wait for me..."

Changsun Wuji hurried to catch up.

Li Er and his party came and left quickly.

The imagined storm did not appear at all.

Chen Chu scratched his head, smiled and watched Li Er leave.

Then he turned around and said, "Pheasant slave, you did a good job today, for the sake of your strength, tonight, I'll make another pot of roast beef with potatoes."

Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help drooling.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly there was a coughing sound behind him.

Chen Chu turned his head to look, and was startled.

Not far behind, Li Er was looking at him sadly.

"Father...Royal Father, why are you back?" Chen Chu was surprised.

Didn't this just go away?

I saw it with my own eyes!

Why did it pop out all of a sudden?

Li Er sneered: "Tell me, how many shares did you give Chengqian and Qingque?"

Chen Chu asked in confusion, "Father, what shares?"

Li Eryi flicked his sleeves: "It's this time, and you are still pretending to be stupid with me. Recently, Donggong has been doing a lot of things, working hard to promote coal and stoves. I have never seen Chengqian so caring. If there is no The good thing is that he can work so hard? Also, I just passed by the coal mining area and saw that Qing Que didn't think it was dirty and went to dig coal himself. Qing Que is such a proud person, how could he dig coal for no reason? , there is only one possibility, and that is money!"

Hey!

As expected of Lao Li.

Good guess.

Chen Chu walked up, showing a humble smile, and said, "Father, you have to believe that the prince and the king of Yue both did this with sincerity. One of them is a dead prince, and the other is a prince who is in full swing. The coal business is at a loss."

Li Er glanced at Chen Chu and said, "If I didn't know how much money your coal mine makes every day, I might have been cheated by you, but now, do you still want to lie to me?"

Li Er saw Chen Chu tell the number he earned every day with his own eyes.

Chen Chu had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and said, "Royal Father, Lizhi holds [-]% of the shares in Meishan Coal Mine, my fourth brother, Duke Lu's Mansion holds [-]% of the shares, and the crown prince and King Yue each hold [-]% of the shares."

After hearing this, Li Er made plans in his mind.

Even if it is only [-]% of the shares, the daily income is quite a lot.

He looked at Chen Chu curiously, and asked, "You don't even want [-]% of the shares?"

Chen Chu waved his hand: "Father, I am already very rich now, and I am not interested in money."

The truth is, what is beautiful is mine, even the beautiful wife is mine.

Li Er couldn't help being a little surprised.

Then he said lightly: "Since that's the case, you have to manage this coal mine well. Chengqian and Qingque are still young, so let me keep the money for this share. Remember to send the dividend money to the internal treasury in the future... "

What?

Chen Chu was a little dumbfounded.
