Tang Sufan said while wanting to laugh in his heart.
"I saw this from Hu Shang in the West City, so it's a foreign thing from another country, and I just happen to recognize it."
"In addition, if you think about it, if the current emperor had not ascended the throne and opened up trade routes and broadened the trade route environment, how could these things from other countries come to the Tang Dynasty? Even if I recognize it, there is nothing I can do -"
In ancient times, the imperial court valued agriculture and discriminated against commerce.
However, after Li Er came to power, he actively encouraged business and provided many convenient conditions for business. He also opened treaty ports and strengthened trade with foreign countries as he does now.
Li Er also continuously improved and perfected the court system based on the actual situation of the Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, Tang Sufan felt that if he lived before the Tang Dynasty, there would really be no way to obtain the pumpkin seeds.
"I see……"
Li Shimin nodded happily after hearing this. In this way, he did have some credit.
"Our emperor is truly a wise king!"
"Yes, yes, commerce can actually bring such benefits!"
The three old men on one side naturally became the teachers' cheerleaders, and they praised him without blushing or heartbeat.
Anyway, that's all.
Li Shimin is now full of glory. When he ascended the throne as emperor, in order to quickly strive for economic circulation, he directly relaxed economic policies.
In order to try to get some help for people's livelihood in this disaster year.
At that time, he was blocked by many courtiers and old masters.
Now it seems that I did the right thing.
No, when this pumpkin can be seen in the world in the future, I will definitely show it off!
"Then Su Fan, you just put something like this in the yard? What if someone else covets it?"
Li Shimin looked at it and said with some worry, this thing is now a golden treasure. He would rather have his palace stolen than something would happen to it.
"Let's put it here first. Ordinary people can't enter my yard. Besides, who would care about this melon seedling? It only attracts people's attention if it makes a big noise."
Tang Sufan waved his hand indifferently, leaving Li Shimin speechless for a while.
This kid...
Forget it, I hope this kid will stop thinking about it and send someone to guard him secretly. If anyone dares to touch this, I will kill him.
Then Li Shimin asked a crucial question: "Then... when will pumpkin be promoted?"
Tang Sufan calculated in his mind and just said: "It will probably be the year after tomorrow. Now I can cultivate it before the spring of next year. It is already good. From a bag of pumpkin seeds I got, these are the only ones that survived. If I wait until Separation of seeds will not be promoted until the next year at least..."
"The year after tomorrow..."
Li Shimin frowned and pondered slightly.
He is eager to promote it now, but this kind of seed has not been cultivated yet, so there is nothing he can do.
Then he put his hands behind his back with a look of regret.
"By the way, Lao Li, have you heard of a place called Champa?"
At this time, Tang Sufan suddenly stood up straight and asked.
Li Shimin was stunned, and then said: "Zhancheng?"
He thought about it carefully and then shook his head.
Tang Sufan was a little disappointed when he received Li Shimin's reply.
Looking at Tang Sufan's expression, Li Shimin asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything worthy of your attention in this place?"
What can make this kid pay attention is definitely not an ordinary place.
But as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he could count every county in the Tang Dynasty, but he had never heard of this place called Champa.
"There is also a kind of rice called Champa rice. It is grown in a place called Champa or early Champa. It can produce six or seven stones per mu, but it grows regardless of the land. It can be harvested two or three times a year."
Tang Sufan's words immediately made Li Shimin speechless.
Fang Xuanling and the other three old men quickly came over again, with expressions of surprise and shock on their faces.
"Su Fan, are there really such high-yielding things?"
Having one kind of pumpkin is already a huge surprise, but I didn’t expect this kid to know about the second kind!
"This thing does exist, but I don't know that this Champer is a place, and it is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid it will take a little effort to get it!"
Champa rice was introduced in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Song Zhenzong personally demonstrated it in order to promote this new crop.
He also ordered the planting of Champa rice in the Yuchen Hall in the palace. After the planting was completed, the emperor personally led the officials to watch. Emperor Zhenzong even took advantage of the opportunity and wrote a poem about Champa rice to praise the excellence of Champa rice.
In addition, Champa rice grows in any place and matures earlier and faster. Therefore, in the rice fields planted by villagers on Jiangnan West Road during the Northern Song Dynasty, 70% to 80% of the rice fields were early Champa rice, and only 20% to 23% were planted to large rice fields. millet.
This shows the status and role of Champa rice.
Tang Sufan also knew roughly from the "Tiangong Kaiwu" in his mind that this place was called Champa, and it was probably a place in the south close to Vietnam in later generations.
When Li Shimin heard that Tang Sufan confirmed the existence of this object, he immediately said with great pride.
"Even outside my territory of the Tang Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty cavalry can still set foot. Su Fan, tell me, where is it?"
Tang Sufan twitched the corner of his mouth, looking at Lao Li who was so angry that he really wanted to take credit and wanted to go crazy.
Then he said with a look of disgust: "Okay, you can find this thing if you look for it? If you go to tell that person and still can't find it, aren't you afraid that Li Er will accuse you of deceiving the emperor?" "
"Returning the Tang Dynasty cavalry, did you go just as you said?"
Tang Sufan kept teaching Li Shimin a lesson, which made Zhang Sun Wugou feel very interested.
When have you ever seen Erlang look like this?
Li Shimin's face darkened. What happened to the Tang cavalry? Didn't they just hit wherever I told them to?
Now Li Shimin really wants to show off his cards——
Li Shimin said with a slightly condensed expression: "Then tell me, where is this Champa? You can send someone to look for it first. If there is such a place, wouldn't that be fine?"
Forget it, let's get the news from this guy first, and then send flying cavalry to look for it after we get back.
If this place really exists, then——
Hum hum——
Tang Sufan thought for a moment, then squatted on the ground and drew a drawing on the ground with a frown based on later generations and the current situation, using a branch casually left on the fence.
He pointed and said: "Did you see, this is the southern part of the Tang Dynasty's territory, roughly past the border of the Tang Dynasty, roughly in the southwest——"
Then Li Shimin and the others squatted down without any concern for their appearance, and looked at Tang Sufan's gestures seriously.
Changsun Wugou and his daughter stood aside quietly and watched, saying nothing.
When men do things, women don't talk as much as they can.
This is an ancient rule.
It wasn't until a while later that several people stood up.
He hammered his numb legs.
Li Shimin and the others have completely remembered it. I am afraid that after returning today, there will be many powerful knights heading south in the palace.
"Lao Li, are you sure you want to find him?"
"For the benefit of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it is our duty to do so——"
Li Shimin replied with a straight face.
Tang Sufan had a strange look on his face, I'm afraid you're just doing it for the credit.
Forget it, forget it, my stupid father-in-law, I can help him if I can.
"Okay, be careful when you send people there. There may be a language barrier there and they don't understand the customs of the Tang Dynasty at all."
Tang Sufan gave some instructions before giving up. If he found this thing, his father-in-law would be able to become more and more successful in the officialdom in the future.
Then my protective umbrella will soon become bigger and bigger.
Commonly known as the father-in-law development plan.
