In the palace and Taiji Hall, Changsun Wuji was very angry about Dai Zhou Qizou. He originally wanted to attack Luo Zhang, but now he could only change his strategy and let Luo Zhang go for the time being.
So what if I don’t let it go? Continue to attack Luo Zhang? This is simply asking for trouble for himself. You must know that ministers who benefit from potatoes in everything will more or less give Luo Zhang a face. Even if they don't speak for Luo Zhang, they will not add insult to injury. When the time comes, he will attack Luo Zhang alone. If there is no one to help, it will not be effective at all, so it is better not to say anything.
Changsun Wuji hated Dai Zhou, but he was helpless. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and a second-rank official in the imperial court. What could he do? Should he be allowed to threaten Dai Zhou? That's nonsense.
Sometimes Changsun Wuji would feel powerless, and this was the time when his plans could not keep up with the changes.
Luo Zhang had been observing from behind, and he naturally heard what Dai Zhou was saying, and he could clearly see the meaning in His Majesty's eyes. As for Changsun Wuji, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Luo Zhang almost laughed. flowers.
At this time, Luo Zhang felt that Dai Zhou was so cute, the cutest person in the world. If he hadn't been in the main hall, Luo Zhang would have even wanted to give Dai Zhou a big hug.
On the dragon throne, after hearing what Dai Zhou had said, Li Shimin took a deep look at Luo Zhang, and then said: "Your Ministry of Revenue did a good job in this matter, but Luo Zhang did a better job. Contributing potatoes to It is a good thing that will benefit the country and the people, and it will be a great success for us, Datang!"
"Dai Zhou!"
"I'm here!" Dai Zhou bowed hurriedly.
"According to what Luo Zhang said before, potatoes can mature even on barren land, and we have tried it, and it is indeed possible. During autumn planting, potato seeds will be distributed to farmers around Chang'an, Luoyang, and Hongnong. Let them all plant potatoes instead. Such good food will naturally produce more. The Northern Expedition will not end in a day or two!" Li Shimin ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dai Zhou bowed and accepted the order.
Luo Zhang blinked and was a little confused, and distributed the potatoes to the farmers in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Hongnong? Let them plant together?
Your Majesty, your head is not burned out, is it? If people in the three places were allowed to grow potatoes together, how much would the potatoes cost? I'm afraid it will become a disaster.
Luo Zhang has already imagined the potato harvest, farmers' families, wealthy families, dignitaries' families, palaces, every family eating potatoes. It's impossible not to eat them. There are too many potatoes, it's a waste, and you can't eat so much. , I’m afraid His Majesty wouldn’t have thought of such a scene!
But if you can't eat it, you can transport it to the north. Luo Zhang can already think of himself eating potatoes three times a day in the north.
How will we eat then? roast potatoes and beef? The fact that cattle are not killed in Chang'an does not mean that cattle are not killed in the Turkic areas in the north. Beef roasted with potatoes is quite good.
By the way, haven’t I smashed out shelduck before? Roast duck with potatoes is also a rare delicacy.
Stir-fried shredded potatoes? baked beans? This is okay, even if there are no ingredients, this can be considered a delicacy.
What Luo Zhang could think of, the ministers present could naturally think of it, but compared with Luo Zhang's optimism, their mood was not so beautiful. If the people of Chang'an, Luoyang, and Hongnong could also grow potatoes, The price of potatoes is bound to drop sharply, and they will make less money.
It's just that they have no reason to stop this. Could it be that because the potato yield is too high, they can only grow it and not feed it to the people? This doesn't make sense.
Many people have already made up their mind to never plant potatoes again in autumn, as this can also reduce the losses in their own fiefdoms. No one standing here is a fool.
Dai Zhou has finished reporting, but it does not mean that others will not report. One by one, they stood up and started talking about their own affairs. Luo Zhang was not drowsy today and listened very carefully. We are going north, and there are many things to understand. It is clear, and a lot of useful information can be obtained from the things reported by these courtiers, which is of great help to him.
For example, there are still gaps in ordnance, which means that the north consumes a lot of money. For example, the weather in the north has begun to change and a lot of charcoal is needed. For example, the Turks have also begun to send troops. These things will make Luo Zhang think a lot.
Especially because of the cold weather, Luo Zhang suddenly thought of many things that he had smashed before but had not put to use. For example, the fresh shelduck just mentioned can increase the cold resistance after being taken. How to use it, but its effect is rare in the cold weather in the north.
In addition, there is chocolate, which can increase one's own calories and make up for one's own physical strength. This thing is also a rare good thing for those soldiers who are raiding in the north. It can save lives at critical moments!
There is also Yunxiang Essence, which is used to treat various kinds of frostbite. Presumably in winter, the temperature is even lower. Even with the help of an igloo, frostbite may occur. But if you have Yunxiang Essence, it will be different. This thing has a miraculous effect on frostbite. Just pour hot water and add Yunxiang essence to soak, and the frostbite will be cured. This is what Luo Zhang hit but didn't use before, and now it can be put to use!
Just when Luo Zhang was wandering around, thinking about what his system had produced, Changsun Wuji's follower, Chu Suiliang, came out to announce: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has produced a Qilin son, Changsun Chong. At only twenty-two years old, I have already broken through to the True Yuan Realm. This is the blessing of my great Tang Dynasty and the blessing of Your Majesty!"
Changsun Wuji heard Chu Suiliang praise his son, and his gloomy face suddenly turned red. Changsun Chong was his son, and praising Changsun Chong was tantamount to praising him, so he was naturally very happy.
Although the rest of the people in the court had heard about Changsun Chong a long time ago, they were not sure. But when they heard Chu Suiliang's performance, they confirmed the matter. You can imagine the shock in everyone's hearts. jealous.
What was shocking was that Changsun Chong was indeed young, and to break through the True Yuan realm at such a young age, one can imagine how extraordinary his qualifications are.
Envy, jealousy, naturally the Changsun family is afraid that it will prosper again after getting this. Although the Changsun family has suffered many blows before, which has caused a lot of losses to its strength, it can't stand up to the fact that the family has enough foundation. This is not a problem. A twelve-year-old strong man in the True Yuan Realm.
It is conceivable that in a few years, when Changsun Chong's strength reaches a higher level, the power of the Changsun family will rise again.
These are the thoughts of uninformed people. There were several people present who were aware of the matter. They all looked weird after hearing what Chu Suiliang reported. Luo Zhang stopped talking. He didn't even disdain Changsun Chong. Yu Gu, even if he had not broken through to the True Yuan Realm, he was afraid that he would be defeated by the strength of the Qi Sensing Realm, let alone reaching the True Yuan Realm now. If Changsun Chong dared to challenge him, he would tell him what it meant. despair!
Needless to say, Li Junxian had already seen Luo Zhang's strength. Changsun Chong? Qilinzi of the Tang Dynasty? Stop joking, this joke is not funny at all. When it comes to Qilinzi, Luo Zhang deserves it, but he is low-key. Even if he breaks through the True Yuan realm, he doesn't publicize it. Compared with Changsun Chong, he is really not even a little bit worse.
As for His Majesty, he had long understood Luo Zhang's strength through Li Junxian's report. Now he heard that the Qilin son of the Tang Dynasty was Changsun Chong, which made him dumbfounded, but he couldn't smile on his face. hard.
Changsun Chong is good, but compared with Luo Zhang, he is far behind.
Li Shimin knew very well why Chu Suiliang reported this matter. It was to give Changsun Chongbo a better position and a better background. To be honest, if Luo Zhang was not in front, Changsun Chong would definitely let it go. Wei Cai, but with Luo Zhang in front of him, Li Shimin became a little boring about Changsun Chong. It wasn't that Changsun Chong was not good, but that he lost his joy.
This also caused Chu Suiliang to report for a long time, and Li Shimin didn't say anything. This made Chu Suiliang a little confused. I wonder what happened to Your Majesty? Isn't this something to be happy about? Doesn't this deserve great praise and a reward?
Chu Suiliang turned to look at Changsun Wuji, trying to find the answer from him, but Changsun Wuji was also confused. This was a little different from what he imagined. What's wrong with Your Majesty?
