Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Zhang Dun's expression was startled, and his eyes were strange: "Is this friend you mentioned, is it you?"

Hu Guang blushed and shouted: "How is that possible? I asked for someone else! Hey, I won't hide it. In fact, I asked for brother Wu!"

"Pfft!" Wu Mo just took a sip of the soup, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold back and spit it out, coughed a few times, glared at him and said, "If I want to ask, I still have to find an excuse for you." ? Can't I just ask?"

"Can't you wipe your face?"

"Fart! You ask yourself, you ask yourself!"

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall. Mu Qingcang walked in excitedly. Under the attention of everyone, he grabbed Zhang Dun's hand and said excitedly:

"Brother Zhang, you are a miracle doctor! That prescription really works. My daughter said that her lower abdomen doesn't hurt much anymore!"

"Don't dare."

Zhang Dun pulled out his hand with a smile, and said, "Patriarch Mu, it's time for us to talk about this house."

Mu Qingcang patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll get you the house deed and title deed now, and today this house will belong to you!"

"I'll only use it for a few days."

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "In the past few days, you can live in Zuixianlou. When the matter is over, you can move back to live."

Hearing this, Hu Guang was stunned for a moment, why is it different from what we said before we came here?

Chapter 380 The Potato Appearing in Datang

Zhang Dun saw Hu Guang's confused gaze, and just smiled without explaining. After all, he couldn't understand the explanation.

What I know, let alone Hu Guang, even the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, or today's world, I am afraid that I will be confused after hearing it.

Mu Qingcang might know something.

After all, he went overseas after the overthrow of the Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and brought back some seeds from overseas.

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "By the way, Patriarch Mu, can you take me to see the land you planted?"

Now is not the time for Mu Qingcang to speak directly, he wants to see if the things brought back by the herdsman from overseas are the same as what he thinks.

"Success, I'll take you there after dinner!"

Mu Qingcang said cheerfully.

"Okay!" Zhang Dun smiled, holding the chopsticks and continuing to eat the food on the table.

A quarter of an hour later, under the leadership of Mu Qingcang, Zhang Dun and Hu Guang followed him outside the city.

As for Wu Mo, he was not interested in what was growing in the field, so he said his goodbyes and left the shepherd's house.

Outside Chang'an City, people come and go on the official road.

Pedestrians on the road were dressed plainly, some had just returned from shopping in the eastern and western cities, and some were driving horse-drawn carriages to remote villages and towns to do business.

"The current Tang Dynasty is much better than the former Sui Dynasty."

Walking on the road, Mu Qingcang said with emotion: "After I came back from overseas, I realized that today's emperor is a hero."

"At least in terms of leading troops to fight, I want to set this on him."

As he said that, he gave a thumbs up, and then said with a lonely expression: "Actually, I think Yang Guang, the former emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was also a hero. He might be able to match Qin Shihuang, otherwise I wouldn't have been in the court of the former Sui Dynasty. Scold the Li family."

"It's just that he raised hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Goguryeo, and was defeated. In addition, he wanted to disintegrate the official career monopolized by the wealthy and prominent families because of the imperial examination, which led to a break with those people. Under internal and external troubles, this country perished. "

Zhang Dun said in a soft voice: "The rolling waters of the Yangtze River flow eastward, and the waves sweep away the heroes. Whether it's right or wrong is turning around."

Mu Qingcang looked at him in surprise, "Brother Zhang, you have a brilliant literary talent."

"That's right, my brother Zhang is in Chang'an City..." Hu Guang said with a smile.

Zhang Dun cast him a look, and Hu Guang immediately understood, grinned, and swallowed back the words welling up in his throat.

Mu Qingcang looked at Zhang Dun with deep eyes, lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then chuckled again, and said, "It seems that Brother Zhang's identity is very mysterious, he doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"I'll just say, with my eyesight, I can never make a mistake when looking at people!"

It seemed that his identity had been guessed. Zhang Dun pinched his nose and coughed lightly.

Mu Qingcang didn't point it out, and he didn't intend to say it directly. Some things are better left unsaid than spoken.

Soon, the three of them came to a piece of land purchased by Mu Qingcang.

The field is very large, covering tens of acres, and it can't be seen at a glance, and it is very eye-catching.

The land that Mu Qingcang purchased was a rectangular piece of land, and on the outside of the raised soil ridges on both sides of the field, young seedlings had already broken through the ground.

And in the field under his name, there are also blue-colored things growing out of the ground, but it is completely different from the things planted in the fields on both sides, and it is very easy to distinguish with the naked eye.

Mu Qingcang raised his finger, pointed at his land, and said sadly: "There is no harvest in this land, it gives me a headache."

"In the past few years, I have been overseas. I saw that thing planted in the field with my own eyes. When it was harvested, it could not be said that there were not many fruits, but when I brought it back to Chang'an and planted it in the field, some vegetable leaves came out! "

It might have something to do with the climate... Zhang Dun put his hands behind his back, looked at him with his head tilted, and asked, "Is it colder over there?"

"exactly!"

Mu Qingcang hurriedly said: "It's colder than our Chang'an city!"

"The people over there are as black as carbon. We call them Kunlun slaves here."

Mu Qingcang added: "There are also fair-skinned and yellow-skinned ones, but those people are not easy to talk to."

"Why is it hard to talk?" Hu Guang asked curiously.

Mu Qingcang said solemnly: "I don't understand what they are saying."

Hu Guang said in amazement: "Can you understand the words of Kunlun slave?"

Mu Qingcang nodded of course and said: "That's for sure, they will say whatever we say!"

Can that be the same?Hu Guang rolled his eyes. Now the Kunlun slave in Chang'an City grew up in the city since he was a child. It would be surprising if he couldn't speak Tang dialect fluently.

The Kunlun slaves in the outer sea are different, they are natives. Hu Guang thinks he is well-informed, but he has never seen a Kunlun slave who speaks a foreign language.

"Huh?" At this moment, Hu Guang saw Zhang Dun striding into the field, squatting down and digging the soil with his hands, and said in astonishment, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing digging the soil?"

"Let me see."

Zhang Dun said casually, lowered his head and continued to dig the soil, put the "vegetable leaves" in Mu Qingcang's mouth in his hands, and looked at them carefully, the joy on his brows gradually became stronger.

"really……"

Aboveground stems are diamond-shaped, hairy...

It's potatoes!

It really is this thing!Zhang Dun couldn't hide his excitement and confusion on his face.

He remembered that during the Tang Dynasty in history, there was no record of potatoes.

The first time potatoes were clearly recorded in history books was in the late Ming Dynasty.

And now, potatoes have appeared in Datang!

Is it because I discovered Mu Qingcang?Or is this Great Tang itself somewhat different from the Great Tang I know?

maybe both...

Zhang Dun shook his head, no longer thinking about it, the reason is not important anymore, the important thing is the potatoes!

He carefully dug up the soil, only to find that the potatoes buried in the ground were only the size of a fingernail.

how so?Zhang Dun frowned and looked up at Mu Qingcang.

Mu Qingcang smiled wryly: "You see, I'm useless, and I don't know why... Huh?"

Suddenly, he came to his senses and looked at Zhang Dun in surprise, "Brother Zhang, do you know what I plant in the field?"

"I don't know." Zhang Dun shook his head.

Hu Guang rolled his eyes as he listened, "You don't know what a ghost is, why are you digging up the soil?"

And say you don't know?Who will believe it?

Mu Qingcang looked at him suspiciously, but seeing that Zhang Dun didn't want to disclose or ask, he continued: "When I was overseas, I saw this thing grow out with my own eyes, and it was the size of a baby's fist."

"I ate it once by chance. How about the taste?"

Touching his chin, he recalled: "It's not very good to eat raw, but it can still be eaten after roasting."

Hu Guang asked curiously: "You brought this thing back to Chang'an because you thought that rare things are more expensive, and you can sell them for a good price?"

Mu Qingcang gave him an appreciative look, nodded and said, "That's right! That's the reason. Shopkeeper Hu is a businessman after all, it's right!"

"It's just a pity." Mu Qingcang sighed, "It's a good thing, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for planting around Chang'an."

"Not necessarily." Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "The reason why this thing didn't take shape may have something to do with your planting method."

In his memory, potatoes are not difficult to grow. Generally speaking, as long as the potatoes have bud eyes, after planting, the climate is suitable, and seedlings can grow.

Mu Qingcang murmured: "Brother Zhang, don't blame me for not listening to you. Didn't you just say that you don't know what this thing is?"

Zhang Dun: "..."

Chapter 381 Potatoes from ten acres of land, this is a gift

Seeing Zhang Dun pinching his nose, Mu Qingcang said with deep eyes: "Brother Zhang, you actually know what this thing is, don't you?"

If you can do the same when you find a miracle doctor to save your daughter, why is it so miserable that you sell the house.

Zhang Dun said silently in his heart.

"This thing is called a potato."

Having been seen through by Mu Qingcang, it would be a bit pretentious to continue pretending, Zhang Dun mused, "It's a good thing."

Mu Qingcang grinned and said, "It's really a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to bring it back from overseas."

Hu Guang asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, where did you know the origin of this thing? Have you also been to sea?"

Do you know that potatoes still need to go to sea?Before I crossed over, I ate it a lot... Zhang Dun coughed lightly, and said, "You can say that."

"I don't believe it." Hu Guang said in a deep voice.

Believe it or not, who cares about you!Zhang Dun glared at him angrily.

Mu Qingcang sighed and said: "If I knew Brother Zhang knew this thing earlier, I should have gone to you as soon as I came back."

"If there is brother Zhang to help, there won't be nothing growing in the field."

"You can't say that." Zhang Dun patted the soil on his hands, looked at the endless fields, and said: "After planting such a large area of ​​land, there must be a harvest."

"Master Shepherd, have you dug up all the fields?"

"That's not true." Mu Qingcang shook his head and said, "At that time, I asked someone to turn over an acre of land, and I didn't bother to continue to look when I saw nothing."

That means there must be... Zhang Dun stroked his chin and thought.

Mu Qingcang continued: "Brother Zhang, you can do whatever you want with the things in my dozens of acres of land."

"Is this true?" Zhang Dun raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

Mu Qingcang nodded emphatically, and said: "That's natural, isn't this what we agreed at the beginning."

"Let's talk about it." Mu Qingcang said with a chuckle: "No matter how precious the things in the field are, they are not as important as my daughter's life."

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Zhang Dun arched his hands, then looked at Hu Guang, and said, "Brother Hu, help me."

Hu Guang said cheerfully, "Success!"

"Help me dig out all the things in these tens of acres of fertile land!"

"..." Hearing this, Hu Guang's smile froze on his face. He looked at Zhang Dun, then at dozens of acres of land, and said in a trembling voice, "Are you kidding me?"

One or two acres of land is okay.

This is dozens of acres of land, when will it be dug all over!

Zhang Dun said solemnly: "Seriously!"

"You can't do it no matter how serious you are." Hu Guang raised his finger to the direction of Chang'an City, and said, "Why don't I go to the city and hire some people for you, and ask them to come and help?"

"no!"
