Thirty or forty stones, what kind of concept is this?
It should be noted that the Champa rice mentioned by Tang Sufan before was already two to three times that of ordinary crops.
And these thirty or forty stones are really like lies from heaven and man.
Could this be heaven-sent immortal food?
"Su Fan, tell me quickly! Don't talk nonsense! How can there be such a high yield of crops in this world?"
Li Shimin quickly asked with a glare in his eyes!
That means that if you really dare to use this matter to make fun of them today, it is inevitable that you will be kicked out of Chengqing Palace by a few of them.
Tang Sufan only gave up after making the heartbeats of his father-in-law and these big Tang bosses feel like a roller coaster.
Slowly and in a long voice——
"The world is full of wonders. What I said must be true, and now the sweet potatoes have been planted in my yard and are starting to grow."
After receiving Tang Sufan's confirmation, the emperor and his ministers looked shocked, then turned pale with joy.
Immediately, Li Shimin even forgot the purpose of Tang Sufan's visit and stood up directly.
With that look, he might as well leave the palace immediately to take a look.
Thirty or forty stones!
That’s thirty or forty stones! ! ! !
One acre of land costs thirty or forty dan! !
The corner of Tang Sufan's mouth twitched, and he quickly pulled the dog emperor, who looked ecstatic and had lost his expression, to sit down.
road--
"Okay, Lao Li, these sweet potatoes are in my yard, so they won't be lost. Also, have you forgotten what I'm here for today?"
As soon as this kid reminded him, Li Shimin woke up from a dream.
Yes, this boy is here to diagnose and treat Maid Guanyin today, and I am a little overwhelmed with joy.
After calming down again, even Li Shimin, a generation of emperors, could not help but beam with joy.
"It turns out that this thing is called sweet potato..."
It's not that he looked out of place or careless about the city, it was mainly because the surprise Tang Sufan brought him today was really too big!
Then his eyes narrowed slightly and he turned around.
"Su Fan, there are not many people in your courtyard and there is no one to look after you. How about I immediately send the Xuanjia Army to guard the area?"
"Yes, yes, your Majesty, these crops are the hope of the people's livelihood and the hope of the Tang Dynasty! I second the proposal and immediately send additional troops to guard and garrison them!"
"I second the proposal!"
However, several old men didn't even think about it and just agreed one after another.
This thing called sweet potato is a rare treasure, but it is not enough to explain its preciousness. Behind it is the concern for the world and the Tang Dynasty, which no longer needs to be stated!
Not to mention just using the army to station, even moving to the palace should be done.
Tang Sufan was speechless and quickly waved his hand to stop.
"Okay, okay, let's station the army. Lao Li, we can just keep raising the seedlings quietly. If we go to war, are we afraid that others won't know where the good treasures are?"
Li Shimin slightly raised his eyebrows and focused his eyes, but it was as if he was going to fight too much, as if he was carrying a sword, a curtain, a lantern.
"Can--"
Li Shimin was interrupted by Tang Sufan as soon as he spoke in deep thought.
"It only takes a month or two to raise seedlings. When the spring equinox comes and the seeds are planted, you will have time to send people to take care of them. Come on, Old Li, who will pay attention to a bunch of seedlings on the ground? Don't worry."
Lin Xueyan, that girl, is watching closely enough.
Are they still stationing troops to turn Jinghe Village into a military camp?
After a few words of persuasion from Tang Sufan, Li Shimin and others reluctantly agreed. However, the monarchs and ministers were still a little worried and threatened Tang Sufan to really speak sternly and give them more instructions.
Pumpkins, Champa rice, and sweet potatoes with an astonishing yield!
Li Shimin was greatly shaken and could not calm down for a long time.
Could it be!
This world is under great rule, and the people of the world have no hunger at all. It is comparable to - oh no, even more than the world of Yao and Shun. Will it appear in my Tang Dynasty? !
These will be the lifeblood of Datang's hope for future growth!
The cornerstone of future great rule of the world!
When he thought of this, Li Shimin was full of pride, and his heart was like a wave that could not calm down for a long time.
"Su Fan, please tell us about this sweet potato!"
Li Shimin quickly asked, but Tang Sufan was too lazy to tell the truth.
Upon seeing this, the monarch and his ministers quickly listened attentively.
"Sweet potatoes love warmth and grow underground. They grow so well that one can be as big as a pair of fists. And the roots and leaves growing on the ground are also edible, especially the sweet potato tips, which are also a delicacy."
Indeed, the sweet potato tips must be fresh and tender, stir-fried in some lard, seasoned with some dried chili peppers, light salt and heavy heat, it is definitely a simple and simple folk delicacy.
After saying this, Tang Sufan became a little greedy.
If Su Fan can call it delicious, it must be delicious.
Can even the roots and leaves be eaten?
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this. I will definitely try it in the future.
Not only did Li Shimin occasionally have this idea in his mind, but so did the old man.
The thoughts of the monarch and his ministers suddenly appeared, but Tang Sufan's words continued.
"Of course, if it's too much, just feed it to the pigs."
The monarch and his ministers:...
These words made the monarch and his ministers feel a little bit like me at the same time.
Damn it, we can't have a good chat today, right?
Seeing the astonished expressions on these people's faces, Tang Sufan thought that these people still regarded sweet potato vines as treasures, so he couldn't help but continue to ask with a smile.
"What's wrong? The underground yield of sweet potatoes is very high, and there are naturally a lot of roots and leaves on the ground. Unlike crops such as millet, rice, sorghum, and wheat, wouldn't it be good to feed livestock, cattle, sheep, and pigs?"
I should be speaking out of turn, right? Isn't this kind of thing common among farmers in ancient and modern times?
There are several big bosses, but this farmer's knowledge is too little.
Ahem...
The expressions of the monarch and his ministers quickly softened, and they nodded politely but awkwardly.
But what this guy Su Fan said is indeed reasonable.
In this way, the useless roots and leaves can be used to raise livestock, which is of great benefit to the people's livelihood. It is very good to kill two birds with one stone.
After a brief interlude, Tang Sufan started talking.
"Sweet potatoes like warm temperatures. Generally speaking, one kind is grown every year. But if you follow the conditions in southern places like Yangzhou and other places, two kinds a year are also possible, but the output will definitely be less in winter."
"It's like in the north where it's always cold and snowy, so you can only grow one species a year. If you want to plant it in the cold and snowy weather, you can only plant it in the greenhouse in my yard."
"Of course, when promoting by species, try to be as diverse as possible."
Although the north cannot have two varieties a year, in terms of the heaven-like yield, two varieties a year in the south is excellent.
After briefly talking about sweet potatoes, the monarch and his ministers sighed, and they understood a lot from Tang Sufan's words.
When I thought that this heaven-like output would enable the Tang Dynasty to have a future where there would be no more evil beasts everywhere and the people would scream, the monarchs and ministers were agitated for a long time and could not calm down for a long time.
"I, Wei Zheng, on behalf of the people of the world, would like to express my gratitude to Su Fan for your extraordinary achievements and great grace in this world!"
Wei Zheng stood up, trembling all over, and bowed directly to Tang Sufan.
His heart was agitated, shock and joy were mixed on his face, and he even looked like he was crying with sadness!
Tang Sufan truly felt this pure heart for the people.
Although Wei Zheng, an old man, was so angry with his father-in-law that he wanted to die, it is no wonder that his name would go down in history.
This kind of caring for the people was felt most deeply by Tang Sufan in Wei Zheng among the Tang Dynasty bigwigs who had interacted with him.
Tang Sufan quickly stood up and quickly helped the old man up.
"Farewell, farewell, Lao Wei, if you really want to count the merits and discuss the classics, you can't trust me. Although I discovered this sweet potato and know how to grow it, if you really want to discuss the first merit, someone else has to do it."
Although he discovered the sweet potato, Tang Sufan felt that he should be able to distinguish between right and wrong.
A group of people as big as master and apprentice traveled over mountains and seas and went through many hardships.
He would feel bad if he was denied all the credit.
"Oh? Su Fan, could it be that this sweet potato has something else in mind?"
Afterwards, Tang Sufan slowly told everything about the discovery of sweet potatoes.
…
"So, this sweet potato is thanks to his master and his disciples. I am lucky enough to have discovered it."
In the past, Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty obtained scriptures from the West in order to save people from the world. Today, there are hot-blooded Taoist disciples who seek immortals and ask questions and accidentally get food from heaven.
Tsk tsk, Taoist got back a win.
After hearing this, the emperor and his ministers couldn't help but sigh.
"I see."
"However, thanks to Su Fan's sharp eyesight and ability to recognize the difference, it would be regrettable if this heavenly food that is right before our eyes were missed in Chang'an and left to die."
