"Lizhi, has Lu Shengyi, the student you brought to the manor for treatment last time, gotten better from his cold?"

Today, more than a week has passed since Lu Shengyi took the cold medicine granules.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you. Lu Shengyi took the cold medicine five times, and the symptoms completely disappeared when he went to class on Monday."

Princess Changle stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.

That day, Su Chen specifically told Princess Changle to tell him about the treatment effect of Lu Shengyi after taking the cold medicine granules.

Unexpectedly, after a hot pot meal, she completely forgot about it. If Su Chen hadn't asked her today, she would never have thought of it.

"Haha!"

Su Chen saw that Princess Changle didn't dare to look at him, and didn't laugh at her.

"It seems that Ganmao Ling Granules are still effective in treating colds. If we try the medicine a few more times on people with colds, we should be able to increase production."

"Well, let's prepare Ganmao Ling next time. Let the old immortal add some caramel. That stuff is too smelly and bitter."

Princess Changle asked in confusion, "Will caramel make people with colds worse?"

"No! Brown sugar is warm in nature, while white sugar is cold."

Princess Changle nodded, stood up and said, "Su Chen, it's two o'clock, I have to go to school!"

"Oh, I'll take you! Li Tai probably won't go to school these days. He's busy at the military factory recently."

"No, you should stay in the manor. It's not easy to walk outside in the snow." Princess Changle waved her hand and declined.

"It's okay. Let's go to the military factory to take a look. I haven't been there since the house was built!" Without waiting for Princess Changle to say anything more, Su Chen stood up and pushed her shoulder and walked out.

The weather was clear and the snow on the ground was slowly melting. Fortunately, the roads leading to various places in the manor are hardened with cement, so there will be no mud.

The snow on the cement road to the school is cleared once a day.

"Su Chen, you go ahead." The two people who were originally walking side by side, Princess Changle suddenly asked Su Chen to go first.

"Oh!"

Su Chen turned his head and looked at her, only to see Princess Changle smiling sincerely and nodded.

Princess Changle, who fell behind Su Chen, looked at the soft snow on the side of the road with a sly smile, slowly walked over and picked up a handful of snow, "Su Chen!"

Su Chen stopped in response and turned to look at Princess Changle.

"Hehe!"

Princess Changle instantly threw the white snow in her hand above Su Chen's head.

Su Chen hurriedly retreated, "Dare to sneak attack this marquis, watch out!" Quickly grabbed a ball of clean white snow from the side of the road and threw it at Princess Changle.

Princess Changle naively thought that Su Chen would throw away like her, so she quickly put on the hood of her cloak.

As expected, she was hit by Su Chen!

"Ah! I'm going to fight you!" Princess Changle grabbed a handful of snow and quickly caught up with Su Chen.

Su Chen was worried that he would fall on the slippery road, so he deliberately let her catch up.

Princess Changle stood in front of Su Chen, holding the snowball tightly with both hands, "Su Chen, you are not allowed to run!"

"Beauty, can't you afford to play?"

Su Chen watched Princess Changle kneading the snowball with both hands, not knowing what she was going to do.

"Hehe!" Princess Changle threw away the snowball and slowly walked towards Su Chen.

"Hiss!"

Her cold hands slowly rubbed Su Chen's face, "My Lord, are you still cool?"

"Not bad!"

Su Chen didn't dare to touch her, so he could only let Princess Changle do whatever she wanted.

The two of them played all the way, and finally reached the school gate after ten minutes.

"I'm going in!"

Princess Changle waved to Su Chen as usual and walked into the school gate.

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Go!"

The school security guard came forward to greet Su Chen, and after chatting with the security guard for a few minutes, he walked towards the military factory.

...

In the Imperial Garden, in a pavilion.

"Your Majesty, the yield of beans per mu in the Zhenguan period of the Imperial Garden has been counted, 73 stones!" The eunuch came forward to report.

"Hahaha... Good! With such high-yield grain, why should I worry about the Turks not being destroyed!"

Li Shimin stood up and laughed loudly.

Since he ascended the throne, Li Shimin has always been thinking about destroying the Eastern Turks. But he also knew that with the previous national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it could not support the army to go out.

It was because no one was sure that they could find out where the tent of Jie Li Khan was in the shortest time.

Even if the location of the Turkic royal court was found, if Jie Li heard the news and moved or fled east and west, the Tang Dynasty could not withstand a protracted war.

Because the Tang Dynasty did not have enough food. When the army went out to fight, food was usually transported by conscripted civilians. During the long journey, about 70% of the food was consumed during transportation.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Invite the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Finance!" After Li Shimin calmed down, he thought about how to deal with these sweet potatoes and Zhenguan beans.

It was impossible to keep all of them in the palace. Li Shimin and his men could not eat so much.

"Yes!"

After a while, Dai ZhouHe and Liu Zhenghui came to the pavilion from the harvesting site.

"Your Majesty, the Zhenguan beans have a good harvest!" Dai Zhou came to Li Shimin and bowed.

"Well, I already know!" Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "Dai Aiqing, what is the price of sweet potatoes and Zhenguan beans purchased by local governments for seeding?"

When this decision was made before, Dai Zhou was still the Minister of Revenue, and he knew the price best.

"Your Majesty, according to Su Hou's instructions, the purchase price of sweet potatoes was 50 wen per stone, and the Zhenguan beans were 60 wen per stone. As spring approaches, they will be sold to the people at the same price." Dai Zhou bowed and told the truth.

At first, Li Shimin wanted to give them to the people for free, but Su Chen said that free of charge was not acceptable, and all unearned gains should be stopped.

When Su Chen first sent seeds, he wanted to collect money, but considering that it was a new crop and the people had never planted it before, he was worried that the people would not accept it, so Su Chen gave up the idea of ​​collecting money.

The price is the same as the price of pork. Su Chen only provides a reference. The price market will have its own rules in the future.

The court only needs to grasp the bottom line and does not need to force the price deliberately.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have high yields. Even if they are flooded in the future, it doesn’t matter. They can be transformed into sweet potato flour and potato flour.

Both flours require a large amount of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, thought for a while, and asked: "What if the people can't afford to buy seeds?"

"This...!" Dai Zhou was suddenly speechless. He had never thought about this problem before.

But the situation Li Shimin said will definitely happen.

And it must be not rare.

"Your Majesty, I think it may be possible to let the people buy on credit. Just register the ID card and the number of seeds, and return them all to the local government after the harvest."

"Please judge, Your Majesty!"

The new Minister of Revenue Liu Zhenghui bowed.

"Good! Liu Aiqing's method is very good! According to your words, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel will distribute the seeds as soon as possible." Li Shimin looked at Liu Zhenghui and nodded with satisfaction.

"I accept your order!"

Changsun Wuji and Liu Zhenghui bowed to accept the order.

"Liu Aiqing, how should the sweet potatoes and Zhenguan beans produced in the Imperial Garden be arranged?" Li Shimin asked Liu Zhenghui with a smile.

The more Li Shimin looked at the new Minister of Revenue, the more satisfied he was.

"Your Majesty, I think your Majesty can keep half of it, and the rest can be purchased by the counties under Chang'an for the people under its jurisdiction to plant in the spring next year."

The last time the government distributed seeds, not all people had them, and the first harvest of the manor was not that large.

Therefore, the next few seasons will focus on breeding and seeding.

"Well, that's good, and this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue." Li Shimin agreed immediately.

"Your Majesty!"

A breeze blew in the Imperial Garden.

"My dear ministers, it is getting late today, please leave for now!"

"I will take my leave!"

The ministers bowed!
