I don't know when some houses made of colored glaze were built on some farms outside Chang'an City.
There is also such a thing in the East Palace and Li Yuan's courtyard. There are heavy soldiers guarding the outside of this house day and night. Everyone wants to know what is inside, but anyone who dares to visit this house does not get the information they want. He also paid a heavy price to explore this information.
In a simple room, Xu Yunyan stood at the door, rubbing the wound he accidentally scratched after shaving his beard with a knife, and sighing.
"Three months have passed so quickly. I don't know what happened to the seeds those guys cultivated."
Xu Yunyan looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window, and couldn't help but think of the tasks assigned three months ago. All the people went to various locations selected by Xu Yunyan with only a few absolute confidants and orders signed by Li Shimin.
"I really miss them."
But looking at the greenhouse produced by the glaze workshop in front of him, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but smile.
"Soon, we will be together again. How about the harvest of all the fine seeds? In addition to being properly preserved, the rest will be transported to Chang'an. At that time, it is time to determine which place is most suitable for planting potatoes. Although I know this The area near Chang'an is the most suitable."
In Chang'an City, after Li Shimin finished handling the memorial in his hand, he looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window and couldn't help but smile.
"This is a good start. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. Next year there won't be another drought, another flood, and another locust like this year, right?"
Li Shimin was talking to himself here. The sound of hurried footsteps made Li Shimin turn his head and look in the direction of the footsteps. Who was looking for him in such a hurry?
But after seeing that familiar bright yellow, Li Shimin's already good mood became even better.
"You're here, Gan'er? Why are you so happy?"
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Father, the auspiciousness in the greenhouse has matured. I wonder if father is interested in going to take a look together?"
At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel happy, "Very good. Since you are mature in the East Palace, your Imperial Grandpa should be mature as well. Let's go to your Imperial Grandpa first."
Li Shimin's relationship with Li Yuan had eased a lot because of the auspicious incident. He went to Li Yuan's place every now and then to greet and visit, and Li Yuan also let go of his prejudice against him.
When Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and his son arrived at Li Yuan's palace with their absolute confidants, they walked into Li Yuan's courtyard through Tongzhuan.
As soon as he came in, he saw Li Yuan dressed as a peasant, laughing happily, while Li Shimin and Li Chengqian hurriedly greeted him.
"Father!"
"Grandpa Huang!"
After the two called Li Yuan, Li Yuan looked at them.
"Oh, it's great that you are here. I went to dig out some auspicious stars just now, but I was so excited that I was about to arrange for someone to call you."
As soon as he said this, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Grandpa Huang..."
"Father, if you have something to do, you can just arrange it directly. Do you still want to do the work yourself?"
Li Yuan shook his head when he saw the two of them caring about him so much.
"No, you have to dig this thing out by yourself to feel a sense of accomplishment. Go! There are tools there, you two take them and follow me in."
They took the tools where Li Yuan pointed and followed Li Yuan, his grandfather and grandson into the greenhouse. Although it was cold outside, the greenhouse was as warm as spring. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel even better. Looking at Xiangrui, who was yellow but full of hope, he waved his hoe.
It was just that Li Shimin had just waved the hoe a few times before he was pushed aside by Li Yuan.
"Go, have you never done any work or something? How can you be so grumpy about such a precious thing? Go aside and watch me demonstrate it to you."
Li Yuan and Li Shimin are actually the same, they have never farmed. However, after this auspicious event, Li Shimin was busy with government affairs and had no time to participate, but Li Yuan had a lot of time to serve these things here, and this skill is Much higher than Li Shimin.
Under Li Yuan's caution, an auspicious potato with a higher yield than the earliest planted potatoes was dug out by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was holding the potato in one hand and stroking his beard with the other.
"How about it? My skills are better, right?"
Seeing how proud Li Yuan was, Li Shimin compared the unearthed auspiciousness and hurriedly complimented him.
"Yes, my father's skills are very high, and I admire him."
Li Shimin was trying to flatter Li Yuan here. After some compliments to make Li Yuan happy, he also imitated Li Yuan and dug out a potato with a higher yield.
Li Yuan's old face turned a little red at this moment.
"How is that possible? What I dug should be the best, how come you still come up with something better than mine? It's unreasonable! I want to dig again."
Li Yuan said nothing and started digging again, while Li Shimin also dug here as if competing with him.
This scene made Li Chengqian stand here, feeling proud as he watched two former emperors compete in digging holes.
But after watching for a while, when he was about to start planing, Li Yuan stopped him.
"My dear grandson, just watch here honestly. Sooner or later, the country of the Tang Dynasty will be in your hands. You must promote this auspiciousness well so that you will never be short of food again.
Think about what it would be like if there were no more wandering people in the world. Grandpa, I may not be able to see it, but you must show me more and talk about it. When you have free time, if grandpa is not here, come to grandpa’s tomb to make peace. Grandpa, tell me. "
After Li Yuan said these words, Li Shimin didn't feel a little sad as he looked at Li Yuan talking here.
"Father, you will definitely live a long life. Having such crops is God's care for our Tang Dynasty. You must wait and see that our Tang Dynasty is in a food shortage, and you will not starve to death because of lack of food." A situation arises.”
Li Shimin felt this, and Li Yuan couldn't help but patted his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, my father hated you for what you did to the Xuanwu Sect at first, but now I want to let you go."
Li Yuan did not regard himself as the emperor, but instead used this affectionate title to talk to Li Shimin here.
"As long as you do a good job."
"Father, please remember this."
"My good son!"
"Dad!"
"Why!"
"..."
This was originally a happy event, but it instantly made people feel quite heavy. As the current prince, Li Chengqian was quite favored by Li Shimin, so he had no choice but to change the topic here.
"Grandpa Huang, this is originally a happy event. Let's not talk about this sad thing for now. First, we should take out all the auspicious signs and properly dispose of them. We can't let these few good varieties suffer losses. At that time No matter how beautifully we do it, we will still become sinners in history."
"Look, it's my grandson who said so!"
"Father is right, Qian'er, you are right."
The two former emperors sighed here with emotion, which made Li Yuan and Li Shimin's absolute confidants who served around him couldn't help but admire Li Chengqian even more.
Li Chengqian's throne is as stable as Mount Tai.
No one knew what was going on in the palace, and after Li Chengqian and the others dug out all the auspiciousness that shocked them so much, Li Chengqian asked for instructions here again.
"Father, Master has chosen a place in the suburbs of Chang'an to plant part of the auspicious sign. Since ours is ripe, theirs should be ready soon, and the ones in other places should be similar. After the auspicious sign comes to Beijing, we will be able to select suitable ones. I wonder how my father arranged the planting place?" Li Shimin couldn't help but pat his thigh after being reminded by Li Chengqian, even though his hands were covered with soil.
"Yes, this is the top priority. We must ensure that there will be no problems with the good seeds. The prince will mobilize your prince guards to go to various places to cooperate with them in escorting the auspiciousness to Beijing. Don't let any changes happen to the auspiciousness of this country."
After Li Shimin spoke, Li Chengqian hurriedly clasped his fists.
"Don't worry, Father, I will make arrangements now."
When hundreds of prince guards and soldiers arrived from a remote corner of the farm outside Chang'an City, Xu Yunyan looked at them. They also looked at Xu Yunyan.
The scene was at a standstill for a moment, but just when Xu Yunyan was looking at them here, making them so happy that his heart went crazy, the awkwardness of the scene was finally broken by the belated arrival of a figure.
"Master."
Seeing Li Chengqian coming over, Xu Yunyan hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Master, the guards and soldiers like me are here to help Master escort Xiang Rui. I wonder what the output of Xiang Rui is on Master's side?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head here, "This... hasn't been dug out yet."
Li Chengqian was a little curious now.
"Isn't it time yet? Grandpa Huang and I have dug out everything in the courtyard."
As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Xu Yunyan smiled.
"I actually want to see if this auspicious sign can grow longer if it is buried in the soil."
This half-joking remark frightened Li Chengqian.
"Master, won't this auspicious sign rot in the ground if you don't dig it out when it's ripe?"
Xu Yunyan, who knew the actual situation, looked at him like this and smiled again and said, "Your Highness, only by carefully observing their habits can we figure out the most appropriate storage method."
Xu Yunyan started talking here again, teaching Li Chengqian and Li Chengxian benefited a lot. After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Chengqian could not wait to rub his hands here.
"Master, you always surprise me. How about we compare and see which one has the higher yield, yours or mine?"
After Li Chengqian said something, Xu Yunyan indicated that Li Chengqian could go take a look, but Li Chengqian was not polite, let alone tired, and went to dig holes with Xu Yunyan.
After all Xu Yunyan's potatoes were dug out and delivered to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian looked at Xiangrui, who was obviously much more productive than himself, and said.
"Master, what is going on? We are not far apart, so why is there such a huge difference in yield? Master, did you use too many seeds?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian and shook his head.
"Your Highness, the same amount of seeds are used in each greenhouse. The key is that you have to find farmers who cultivate the land to plant them, and they will take care of them properly. It is not like us who only know how to water. Water and water again.”
What Xu Yunyan said made Li Chengqian blush.
"Master's lesson is, I don't know, can we, who only know how to water the seeds, be able to make seeds? Don't ruin this auspiciousness because of our little mistake."
"No." Xu Yunyan said directly here, "Since it is Xiangrui, it will not be destroyed by us easily. Don't worry too much."
Xu Yunyan's meaningful words made Li Chengqian look at him in confusion.
"Master, do you have something to tell me? Isn't it convenient for you to say it?"
When Li Chengqian asked this, Xu Yunyan was stunned.
"No!"
"Then why does Master speak so strangely?"
"Uh, am I talking weird?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head here, but he felt extremely embarrassed in his heart. I was just lazy and didn't clean it up. Why did I have the impression in front of Li Chengqian that I was hiding something from him?
