Chapter 181
Chapter 181
Su Jing didn't know much about farming, so naturally he didn't know how to tell when potatoes were ripe.
I just vaguely remember that the stems and leaves turn from green to yellow and then turn dry. The stolons shrink and are easy to separate from the tubers. The potatoes planted will be harvested.
But he didn't know what a stolon was, and he didn't know how to explain this unfamiliar word to farmers in the early Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, the leaves on the ground are already withered and yellow, presumably there should be no serious problems... right.
Sun Cheng led three or five old farmers to stand by, staring straight at the stems and leaves in the field.
For several months, everyone in the village has worried about these few acres of land.
Now that the harvest is imminent, everyone can no longer hold back.
Just because before the court officials arrived, they really didn't dare to dig without authorization.
Otherwise, once someone suspects it of being a fake, it will inevitably cause big trouble to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Jinger.
What to do with the potatoes? "
Empress Changsun frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry.
She reported five shi per mu to Li Shimin in order to leave room for Su Jing.
Who would have thought that this silly son would reveal the truth in public for the sake of petty gains.
If the number of fifteen stones is not enough by then, those who are interested will definitely play impeachment.
You need to know that the crime of deceiving the emperor has always been big or small!
"Mother, the child doesn't know either."
Su Jing scratched his head and said, "But Master didn't deliberately explain it, so he must just pull it out."
"Pull it out?"
Empress Changsun twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, waved her hand and said, "Do it, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
"promise!"
Sun Cheng hurriedly responded, greeted a group of old farmers and strode forward.
I saw everyone excitedly grabbing a clump of stems and leaves, and pulling upwards with all the strength of breastfeeding.
A bunch of potatoes the size of seven or eight eggs appeared along with Sun Cheng and others who had fallen to the ground.
"ah!
Is this really a potato?
There are really so many? "
"One plant has seven or eight plants, isn't there more than ten stones in one mu of land?"
"Hahaha~
God open your eyes!
Now people won't starve to death! "
"..."
Empress Changsun covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Mother Su's face was full of pride.
Sun Cheng and a group of old farmers lay on the ground.
Like treating a lover, he carefully guarded the potatoes in the field.
Seeing this, Su Jing scratched his hair in bewilderment, his eyes full of puzzlement.
What he provided is not small potatoes, why are these potatoes so small?
If they are all of this size, how can they achieve the goal of [-] catties per mu?
"Jing'er, is this true for every plant?"
Su Jing had disgust in his eyes, but Empress Changsun and the others were already inexplicably terrified.
"Yes, mother.
only……
This seems to be a little bit! "
"That's not enough?!"
Empress Changsun shook her head, waved her hand and said, "Come here!"
"The end is here."
The leader of the guards trembled and replied loudly.
"Leave an acre of land for His Majesty and ministers to inspect, and pull out the rest of the potatoes to weigh and count them."
"Other:
Immediately send someone back to the palace to report to His Majesty, and send three thousand guards to guard Sujiazhuang.
Without the will of His Majesty and the palace, no one is allowed to approach.
Then send Jingqi to Wentang prison, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. "
"promise!"
The leader of the guards patted his dizzy head, and strode away staggering as if he was drunk.
Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and lovingly stroked the top of Su Jing's head.
"There are such gods as potatoes, and all the people in the world will accept the grace of my son's life.
I would like to see if anyone will dare to say that my son is not in the future. "
"hey-hey!"
Su Jing smirked when he heard this.
He casually covered his aching chest, and asked tentatively: "Mother.
The boy still has corn and sweet potatoes, or I can give the potatoes to you and my mother.
I'm not greedy, how about giving me [-]% of the gold in the palace? "
"Ouch!"
As soon as Su Jing finished speaking, Empress Changsun grabbed his ear.
Looking at the pitiful Su Jing with a miserable expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "I thought you were promising, but I never thought that you would be fooled by A Duwu.
Even your royal father must be envious of such a splashing contribution that has left his name in history.
But you actually want to give it away for a little gold!
Li Jing, you really disappointed my mother! "
"no!
Ouch!
Mother, let go first! "
Su Jing tried his best to stand on tiptoe, pretending to be wronged and said: "Mother!
You also said just now that even the emperor is envious of such achievements.
Now that the boy is the crown prince, it would be a misfortune rather than a blessing if he lived in stealth with such a feat! "
"Ok?"
Empress Changsun let go of her phoenix claws when she heard the words, frowned and muttered: "What you said just now has some truth.
But Jing Er, are you really afraid to give up such great achievements? "
"Hey~
Hehe~"
Su Jing rubbed her ears, smirked and hid beside Su's mother.
"Mother, the child is not greedy for gold and silver treasures.
Just because the child said that he wanted to build a golden house with the young mother, you can't let the child renege on his promise and become fat. "
"Clap~"
"Ouch!"
"mother!
Why do you hit me too? ! "
"Beat you?
If you dare to teach the young mother badly like this again, I will beat you hard for my mother! "
Mother Su said with a sullen face.
Now with the acquiescence of the eldest grandson empress, she has once again regained the momentum she had when she was alone with Su Jing.
"Child dare not!"
Su Jing covered his ears with one hand and pressed the back of his head with the other, walking towards the distance with extreme aggrievedness.
He suddenly realized that he had been ignoring one thing.
Although two mothers will bring double love, they will also suffer double pain at certain times.
For example, the marriage urging a few days ago, or the beating today.
It seems that if you want to keep your ass and continue to die, you need to invite old Li Yuan and the old lady into the palace as soon as possible.
Otherwise, without the talisman by his side, he would experience the fun of mixed doubles sooner or later.
……
"Your Majesty, great joy!
Your Majesty, rejoice! "
Tai Chi Palace.
Qianqiu Hall.
The guard commander ran all the way.
Li Shimin raised his head upon hearing this.
Looking at the trembling figure kneeling outside the door, he asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so panicked?"
The commander of the guards froze for a moment.
Facing dozens of angry eyes in the hall, he said, "Return to Your Majesty.
Today, an envoy from Sun Cheng in Sujiazhuang came to report that the potatoes in the field were ripe.
The Empress and His Royal Highness went to investigate...
There are seven or eight fist-sized potatoes under the roots and leaves of that plant. At the end of the day, there are at least twenty stones in an acre of land! "
"What did you say?!"
Li Shimin shouted anxiously with dull eyes.
Fang Xuanling and the others also hurriedly got up regardless of the impoliteness.
Seeing this, the commander of the guards shrank his neck, secretly recalling the vague figure of Tudou.
"Back to Your Majesty.
If the fist of the last general is so big, there must be twenty stones in an acre of land! "
The commander of the guard raised his casserole-sized fist and gestured, and said very firmly.
Li Shimin only felt dizzy and short of breath.
Enduring the pain in the wound, he stood up, waved his hands and shouted: "Liu Jishu, drive to Sujiazhuang immediately.
I!
Be sure to see this god-given fetish for yourself with your own eyes!
Remember, you don't have to hide your whereabouts.
If the common people wish to go with me, they can do so! "
"The slaves obey the order."
Liu Jishu responded and left.
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes, then suddenly turned around and bowed.
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and his fortune is equal to the sky.
This is because the heavens are grateful for your majesty's merits and virtues, and they have just sent down auspiciousness through the hands of his highness the crown prince.
My Tang Dynasty can have the grand scene it is today, minister - congratulations to Your Majesty!
Congratulations to Datang! "
"I congratulate Your Majesty!
Congratulations to Datang! "
"Hahaha~"
Changsun Wuji and others followed suit.
Li Shimin laughed comfortably when he saw this.
Cheng Yaojin's flattery suits him very well.
Now that Su Jing has recognized his ancestors, he doesn't mind sharing some of the credit with him.
But the leader must be Li Shimin, and it can only be Li Shimin.
"Zhijie is worthy of being my lucky general of the Tang Dynasty.
After I personally investigate, I will have my own reward. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yaojin grinned loudly, and finally got back some of the losses that were cheated by Li Shimin and his son.
But when he raised his head and wanted to flatter again, he suddenly found that Li Shimin's waist wrapped in white cloth was already blood red!
"Blood……
Blood!
His Majesty!
Your wounds are open! ! ! "
Cheng Yaojin shouted in horror.
Fang Xuanling and others hurriedly summoned the imperial physician.
Li Shimin looked down at the blood on his waist, and felt a burst of sadness welling up in his heart.
Just now, he was still thinking about having fun with the people, ascending to the heights and shouting, and he won the hearts of tens of thousands of people in the capital in an instant.
But now it seems that all this is drifting away like a dream.
