Qin Feng saw that he didn't intend to get up to pick up the driver, and he was used to it.

Soon...

A group of people rushed over, and Li Chengqian stood up and said, "Father, what is the purpose of coming to the court today?"

Li Shimin was not polite to him, and sat on the chair by himself, and Chen Lin hurried over to pour him a cup of tea.

"Chengqian, don't pretend to be confused with me! The one-month deadline has come, what about your grain and seeds? You are not deceiving me, are you?"

As Li Shimin said, he picked up the tea bowl, and gently rotated the tea cover around the side of the bowl, and the heat rose along the seam of the tea cover.

He took a sip, "Well, good tea."

He casually took a few candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, thinking, this kid Cheng Qian really enjoys it more and more, he knows how to keep in good health at a young age, I don't know if it's because he has too many bad intentions and his body is starting to feel weak.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the candied fruit on the table, couldn't help swallowing, this prince's courtyard is really a good place, this candied fruit looks delicious.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Hehe, it turns out that the father came here for this matter. Don't worry, the ministers have already prepared the things. Qin Feng, serve the steamed potatoes to the father and all the princes."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Qin Feng said, heading towards the kitchen.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes froze, "Potatoes? What is that? It's a big deal. Cheng Qian, don't play tricks. The land reform is about the fate of Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin felt faintly uneasy. Although he trusted Li Chengqian, how could it be so easy to get food and seeds.

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Hehe, father, you just have to wait and see. Food and seeds are not a big deal in the eyes of my servants."

He still had that calm, confident look.

For some reason, seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin wanted to beat him up.

Why did you pretend to be so forceful?Then what am I?

But he thought about it or forget it, compared to Li Chengqian, he really didn't have those side ways.

Chapter 79 Potatoes!Potato

Soon...

Qin Feng came back with a steaming cage, "Your Highness, the steamed potatoes are here."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Put it on the table."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Qin Feng said and put the cage drawer on the table, and lifted the lid by the way.

In the cage, the heat dissipated, and golden potatoes the size of a fist appeared in front of everyone.

A faint fragrance slowly came out from the cage.

The princes looked at the potatoes in the cage with puzzled eyes.

Li Shimin frowned, and was even more puzzled when he saw it, "Chengqian, what are you doing? This is the food you mentioned?"

This kid can't really frame me, he used a plant that he didn't know what it was to deceive himself.

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Hehe, don't worry, father, this is really the food prepared by my son."

"Oh." Li Shimin said disdainfully, "Is this food?"

He turned his gaze to the others, "Have you seen it?"

When everyone heard the words, they shook their heads subconsciously. They really had never heard of this thing, and they had never seen it before.

"Father, just because you don't know, doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Li Chengqian said as he picked up a potato.

There are more than a dozen potatoes in the cage, each of which is oval, and each weighs half a catty.

Li Shimin said contemptuously: "It's a joke, I haven't seen it before, can you ask all the lovers if you have seen it? Is there any record in your history books?"

Li Chengqian turned a deaf ear to it, and peeled the potatoes in his hands. The potatoes were steamed thoroughly, and he tore off the golden skin with a light touch.

He had expected Li Shimin's reaction a long time ago, that's why he asked Li Shimin to wait for a month, and no one could believe it just by talking about it.

Everyone looked at the silent Li Chengqian. After he tore off the potato slices, the snow-white flesh of the potatoes was exposed in the air, exuding a faint fragrance.

People can't help but want to go up and take a bite.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Chengqian bit down heavily on the snow-white potato flesh. It was soft, waxy, sweet, and fragrant, which instantly exploded the taste buds, gushing out of his mouth like an explosion.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes enjoying himself. He didn't expect the potatoes delivered by this system to be so delicious. If there is a dish of potatoes and beef, it must be delicious.

However, during this period, cattle could not be killed, and farmers were still counting on using cattle to plow the fields. Whoever dared to kill cattle would violate the law.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, everyone swallowed unconsciously.

Li Chengqian greeted: "Everyone, don't look at it, come and taste it, and we will talk about food after tasting it."

Hearing this, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to take a potato, and peeled it lightly. He wanted to see what the hell Li Chengqian was doing.

The others watched Li Shimin move, and put their hands into the cage one after another.

The moment the potato was peeled off and the potato was put in the mouth, everyone was stunned.

They looked at Li Chengqian with shocked eyes, as if they were asking, what is this and why is it so sweet and soft.

Thinking in his heart, he subconsciously sped up the movement of his mouth, and Cheng Yaojin had already picked up the second potato.

Everyone looked at it, swallowed the dates, and started to take the second piece of potato, for fear that they would not be able to grab it.

Soon...

When everyone finished eating, they touched their mouths with unsatisfactory expressions.

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Your Highness, what is this potato? I have never eaten such a sweet and soft food, and this potato is very satisfying."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Li Chengqian, expecting his answer, and they were also very curious.

Li Chengqian explained: "I found potatoes by accident in the mountains. By chance, I accidentally ate a piece of potato. After eating, I felt that this thing was good, so I dug some and brought them back to try to cultivate them. "

"I didn't expect this potato to be bred. The potatoes you eat are planted by this palace myself."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Li Shimin looked even more serious, "Chengqian, how many of these things have you planted?"

Li Chengqian said: "Half an acre."

After hearing his words, Li Shimin felt a little lost. The mighty Tang Empire had countless people, and half an acre was not even a drop in the bucket.

"Oh." Li Shimin looked disdainful, "Is this the grain and seeds you said can solve the land reform? How much does this potato produce per mu?"

Li Chengqian looked at the fields and said softly: "The yield per mu is not much, only twenty or thirty shi."

"You can only produce twenty or thirty stones, you are here..."

"Wait, what did you just say? Two, thirty stone!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's inner joy was beyond words.

Datang's wheat yield per mu is about one to five shi per mu. Five shi is almost rare, and most of them are two to three shi.

And Li Chengqian actually said that the yield of potatoes per mu can reach [-] to [-] shi, which is a tenfold increase. If it is true, then does Datang still need to worry about food?

Li Shimin said earnestly: "Chengqian, land reform, absolutely not child's play, you have to be responsible for your every sentence, you can't just talk about it."

After the excitement, Li Shimin regained his composure. At this moment, he still couldn't believe what Li Chengqian said, after all, it was really incredible.

Li Chengqian said softly: "This is not a big deal to my son, and there is no need for me to lie."

After hearing his words, everyone clicked their tongues. The grain yield of two or thirty shi per mu is not a big deal to him. They really don't know what is a big deal in Li Chengqian's mind.

Maybe for him, there is nothing at all that can make him count as a big deal.

immediately……

Li Chengqian turned his head and said, "Qin Feng, bring the potatoes up."

"Yes, His Royal Highness." Qin Feng said, clapping his hands.

Soon...

Several strong men came over pushing a cart full of potatoes.

About ten stone potatoes were transported to everyone.

These potatoes were not planted by Li Chengqian, but obtained by him for completing the task.

There was not enough time to plant potatoes now, so he estimated the yield per mu and made a batch as the harvest from planting.

In this way, the time for land reform can be accelerated.

The princes of the country were shocked when they saw the pile of potatoes piled up like a hill in front of them.

They couldn't imagine that all these potatoes were grown by Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin looked at it with joy, "How many stones are these potatoes?"

Li Chengqian responded, "This is produced on half an mu of land, about ten shi, and I didn't specify it in detail."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, ten stones?

Hearing that these ten stones were not too much, but when it was put in front of his eyes, he was even more shocked.

They had seen ten shi of grain before, but it was the first time they had seen ten shi of grain produced in a half-acre field.

Although he couldn't believe it, this mountain of fresh potatoes was placed in front of him, so he couldn't believe it.

Chapter 80

Li Shimin turned his head to the old eunuch Chen Lin and said, "Send someone to bring the weighing tools here. I want to see how many stones this potato can produce per mu!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Lin responded, turned and walked out.

When the weighing tool was carried in, Chen Lin led a group of guards and started busy transporting potatoes to the tool.

Li Shimin and the other princes stared closely at each other, looking forward to the result.

Soon...

Chen Lin ran to Li Shimin and leaned over, "Your Majesty, these potatoes weigh thirteen stones."

Li Shimin's joy was beyond words when he heard the words.

Rao already knew the result, but when he heard it with his own ears, he was still extremely shocked.

Li Shimin counted with his fingers, "The yield of half an acre of land is thirteen shi, and the yield of that one mu of land is 26 shi. In terms of acres of fields outside Chang'an City..."

The people around looked at Li Shimin, who was calculating seriously, with blank expressions.

Since when did His Majesty become good at arithmetic?Is this deducing the output of the entire Datang?

a little while...

Li Shimin stretched his brows, and said solemnly: "Well, from this point of view, the yield of potatoes is indeed astonishing, nearly ten times higher than that of wheat."

heard...

Everyone nodded in satisfaction, well, His Majesty is indeed prudish there.

The yield per mu has increased by nearly ten times, hehe, do you still need to count your fingers?Isn't this a problem that can be seen at a glance?

Although I thought so in my heart, there was a mustache on my mouth.

"Your Majesty said it very well."

"Yes, it is amazing that the yield of potatoes is ten times that of wheat."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, God blesses Tang with such a high yield of grain."

……

Hearing everyone's sighs and eating soft potatoes, Li Shimin was in a great mood and was very happy.

I didn't expect that kid Chengqian was really my lucky general, no, he was Prince Fu, son of Fu?

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, and couldn't think of a suitable word for a while.

Li Chengqian ignored the excited crowd, drinking tea and eating candied fruit on his own.

He can understand everyone's mood, if they are not excited, then they really saw a ghost.

lean less...

Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and said excitedly, "His Royal Highness, I don't know if the planting of potatoes is complicated or not. What are the requirements for the growing environment? How many times can you plant them in a year?"
