Imperial City.
Tai Chi Palace.
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were summoned by Li Shimin, and the four monarchs and ministers were discussing national affairs.
"Your Majesty, locusts are passing through this year, ravaging countless fertile fields, and there is a severe drought, so the autumn harvest is far away."
In the guest seat of Tai Chi Palace, Fang Xuanling frowned.
"Your Majesty, the situation is not just that, in fact it is even more serious. Qin Tianjian said that if it doesn't rain, not only will the yield of the fertile fields be reduced and planting will be impossible, but even the fertile fields themselves will be damaged!!"
Wei Zheng frowned and continued: "I have ordered people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to cultivate more fertile land to prevent famine!"
"Yeah, well done."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "If the drought continues and we don't have the means to produce food, even if Kuan'er's house has a lot of food, there will always be a day when everything is empty. By then, if there is no emergency food storage, There may be a civil unrest!"
"Your Majesty is right, but if the drought and locusts are not alleviated for a long time, and the planting will be moved to the south, then the victims in the north will not be able to continue planting. Until the drought is over, we will have to find work for them!"
Changsun Wuji quickly raised new questions.
This time, it was the prince's group of people who were responsible for resettling the victims in the north, and at the same time, they were also his people.
If the resettlement is not done well and the victims in the north are too busy or too tired, they may be implicated.
Therefore, he was vaccinated in advance! !
"I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people affected by the disaster in the north. Planting fertile land is our most important industry in the Tang Dynasty. They can't plant it. Where can we find work to support hundreds of thousands of people?"
Wei Zheng sighed, feeling that this was a very difficult problem.
I heard this.
Li Shimin frowned.
Originally he thought,
The most important problem at present is to solve the problem of food cultivation, but now it seems that the resettlement of the victims in the north is the top priority.
The monarch and his ministers were speechless.
They are all thinking about how to solve it more appropriately.
"Your Majesty! The little princess is back!!"
At this moment, a eunuch walked in.
This is what Li Shimin told him. As long as Xiao Sizi returns, no matter how busy he is, he must inform him immediately.
"oh?"
Li Shimin's frowning eyes shone brightly, and when he mentioned his daughter, his eyes were always filled with light.
"Xiao Sizi is back. As for the auxiliary engine, I will discuss this matter in the afternoon. It happens to be noon at this time. You all should go back to eat."
Changsun Wuji and three others accepted the order and resigned one after another.
Xiao Sizi's return this time was wonderful. They couldn't find a solution for the time being and planned to think about it after returning.
Not long after they left, the little Sizi walked in as if he was drunk, holding a treasure bag.
"Father...Father, Si Zi is back!!"
She bit her gums and opened her mouth. The main reason was that the treasure bag was too heavy and would make her lose her center of gravity when she held it. The little Sizi refused to let the guards help, so she could only hold it on by herself.
"Huh? Little Sizi, you... put it down quickly."
Li Shimin was amused by the little Sizi who was playing tricks.
"Ah, that's right! We're all here, Father, and you can take out those ugly things! Humph~ Those things actually take up space in Sizi's treasure bag, it's so abominable!!"
Xiao Sizi snorted.
Put the treasure bag on the ground, then take out a few round objects and rice paper, place them on the ground and let them roll.
"What's this?"
Li Shimin was a little curious and picked one up to watch.
"I don't know. Anyway, that's all I found today. Father, Si Zi found so few things. How can he still eat sweet and sour pork ribs?!"
Xiao Sizi poked the index fingers of both hands unconfidently.
"Yes! Of course, my father asked the imperial kitchen to do it a long time ago. We will go there together later!!"
Touching Xiao Sizi's little head, Li Shimin was full of smiles.
"Hehe, that's great! Long live my father!!"
Little Sizi hugged Li Shimin and rubbed his beard hard. This time she didn’t dislike the beard anymore. If her father eats sweet and sour pork ribs, then she is a good father, the best father in the world! !
After playing around with Xiao Sizi for a while, Li Shimin had time to look at the red round thing carefully.
Listen to Xiao Sizi say,
This was found on the second floor of the basement.
Moreover, it was still sealed and kept by the Mohist organization.
Li Shimin believed that if this thing was useless, there would be no need for Kuan'er to use so many layers of blockades.
This thing must have its uses, but I don’t know it yet.
"By the way, there are also a few pieces of rice paper, which may be helpful information."
Li Shimin picked up the rice paper behind him.
Open one of them.
There are all kinds of words written on it.
It's handwriting that Kuan'er is familiar with.
[On November 12, sweet potato seeds were officially obtained. However, these sweet potato seeds were different from those in memory. Combined with the known information, they were the first generation sweet potato seeds. 】
[On March 15, the first generation of sweet potato seeds was successfully planted. However, the sweet potatoes looked too weird and have not yet produced fruit. The planting time was too long. There is no substantial difference from other grain planting in Datang. It needs further cultivation to reach the fourth level. Generations can begin to take on the appearance of real sweet potatoes. 】
[On April 8, using the currently available technology, we successfully cultivated second-generation sweet potato seeds, which have been divided into two parts. One is planted and the other continues to be cultivated. 】
[On May 9th, one month later, the planting time of the second generation sweet potato seeds has been greatly improved compared to the first generation, but it is still very different from the memory. All energy should be invested in cultivating the third generation. generation. 】
[On May 16th, the third generation sweet potato seeds were successfully cultivated. I think I have already mastered the seed cultivation experience. The third generation sweet potato seeds were also divided into two parts, one quarter of which was used for planting, and the rest was used for continuing. Nurture. 】
[On June 20, it was successful. The real fourth-generation sweet potato seeds have been cultivated. This generation is exactly the same as the real sweet potato seeds. If you think about it, you can give up the cultivation and devote all your energy to the planting stage. 】
[On June 23, after three days of thinking, all plantings have been decided. Although the best planting time for sweet potato seedlings is March, when the temperature is suitable, I think I have no choice. Of course, I still need to leave some backup. After prevention fails, sweet potato seeds may still be available. 】
[On July 15, 22 days after planting, the sweet potatoes have begun to sprout vines, and it is expected that real sweet potatoes will grow soon. 】
[On August 19, the sweet potato harvest was successful, with a total of twelve sweet potatoes and a bag of seeds. 】
[On August 20, something happened suddenly. His subordinates said that there were clues about that thing in the north. This time, there was conclusive evidence, so they could only go to the north. 】
[On August 21st, the mechanism was set up, but I was a little hesitant to set the password for the Mojia mechanism. It happened that the little one was about to have his birthday recently, so I used her birthday as the mechanism password to remind me not to forget the little guy’s birthday. , no matter how urgent it is in the north, we must come back to celebrate the little guy’s birthday. 】
