Li Changkun suddenly changed his expression and stared at Bai Song in shock.
Bai Song smiled: "You still don't understand?"
"You..." Li Changkun thought for a moment, "Are you the prisoner?"
"Exactly."
Li Changkun was stunned, took two steps back, and looked Bai Song up and down.
Together with Li Changkun's coachman, now following Li Changkun, they also looked at Bai Song in surprise.
"Your Highness, there is indeed something wrong with this boy."
The common people looked at these two people as if they were familiar, but on the contrary, they lost interest.
Ordinary people don't care about the affairs of these big families. Since they are familiar with each other, no matter who is captured or not, in the end, don't they just say polite words to each other and forget about the current conflicts?
"Do you know each other?" Qing'er was equally surprised and a little unbelievable.
"It's a one-sided relationship." Bai Song replied simply.
Li Changkun calmed down: "It is indeed a one-sided relationship."
"Since we all know each other, let's go in and talk about anything."
Qing'er felt relieved and felt that things had eased.
After all, the other party is His Royal Highness. If a conflict really breaks out, it will not look good if things get serious.
Li Changkun looked around, and it seemed that Bai Song's identity outweighed his resentment, so he ignored the extravagance and waste here for the time being and followed Qing'er into the small courtyard.
After being admitted to the hospital, Li Changkun looked around.
I found that the Mo family's house had changed a lot. There was no front hall and main courtyard, and there was actually a vegetable garden at the entrance.
Covered in white snow, the vegetable garden was a patch of green buds.
Li Changkun was confused. He didn't know what he was planting. How could it grow so well in a snowy day?
There were several workers digging soil behind the vegetable garden, but they didn't know what they were doing.
"What are these?"
Li Changkun finally couldn't help but ask.
Bai Song pointed to the vegetable garden: "I grew all the potatoes."
"Potatoes? What are they?"
Just as Bai Song was about to explain, Qing'er on the side suddenly snorted coldly: "You're pampered."
Li Changkun frowned slightly. In the entire New Tang Dynasty, there was probably only one woman like this who dared to target him everywhere.
Li Changkun wasn't angry either. He liked to see new things the most. Instead, he cupped his hand and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Qing'er waved her hand: "Tell the kitchen to bring cooked potatoes."
After a while, a servant brought potatoes.
Qing'er handed it to Li Changkun smoothly: "Peel and eat."
"Eat?"
"Potatoes are the gift given by the young master to the new Tang Dynasty. They are easy to cultivate and can grow in all seasons. The yield per acre is amazing and can replace rice. It can be used as a staple food or as a side dish, and it is also extremely delicious."
Li Changkun listened to Qing'er's explanation and hesitated to take a taste.
The attendant behind him took a step forward: "Your Highness, I will taste it first."
The attendant divided half of it into his mouth without peeling it.
Li Changkun looked back and asked after a few seconds: "How does it taste?"
The attendant frowned slightly: "There is no peculiar smell, it is soft and waxy with a light fragrance."
Li Changkun became more and more curious, so he took a bite.
The taste of boiled potatoes is quite average. For those who have never eaten it before, it is not surprising, but it is definitely not unpalatable. The key point is that the taste is novel, which immediately made Li Changkun's eyes light up.
Qing'er stared at this man with quite a bit of disdain: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish? Your Highness the Third Prince doesn't understand such a simple truth? Compared with some people who only know how to live frugally, Mr. Bai gave
The people of Xintang can produce better crops and create more harvests for the people. Who is more helpful to Xintang?"
Li Changkun was stunned for a moment, looking at the potatoes in his hand in disbelief.
"Is this what these sprouts are growing?"
"Of course. As soon as the young master entered the new city, he found that the people in the city were living a hard life, so he thought about how to improve the people's livelihood. To be sure, the young master tried it himself first, and then distributed the potatoes to the people in the city. Potatoes can be sown in winter and are not afraid of the severe cold.
The harvest will be ready in the spring. As long as we wait a little longer, there will be no more hungry people in Xintang. If you do this, what does it mean to eat more of your wine and meat?"
Li Changkun looked back at his entourage.
The follower was a little unconvinced: "How can this mere thing be so magical?"
"Humph, you are really short-sighted! If you know a little about the war ahead, you should know why the Tang army was stationed in Chengdu for nearly half a year? Where did their supplies come from? It is precisely because potatoes have been planted on a large scale in Youzhou.
The output exceeded a thousand kilograms, and every household had a surplus of grain. A large amount of the surplus grain was requisitioned as military ration, which was easy to store and transport, and fed tens of thousands of Tang troops."
Li Changkun's brows furrowed even more tightly. He thought about it carefully before he remembered what he had heard in Ba County.
There is indeed a miraculous crop among the Tang army. It is unknown but seems to be inexhaustible. Everyone in the Tang army is full of it. Not only is it full of food, but they also never get tired of it.
This was only discovered at the end of the battle. Before that, everyone could not figure out why the Tang army could persist in Shu for so long.
"Our army has powerful crossbows, and the Tang army has potatoes. No wonder the two sides are in a stalemate!" Li Changkun seemed to have discovered a new world, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly became excited.
"I forgot to tell you that the strong crossbow was also created by Mr. Bai. It was my grandfather who got the blueprint and spread it to the New Tang Army."
"What? The crossbow was created by Mr. Bai? What about the legendary divine cannon?"
Bai Song smiled faintly and pointed at himself: "I'm remembering it in my mind."
At this time, Li Changkun was completely shocked.
Crossbows, potatoes, divine cannons...
The things that I have come across recently that can change the world are all created by one person!
Li Changkun felt a little strange.
The attendant behind him suddenly thought of something, his face looked horrified, and his eyes flickered as he looked at Bai Song.
The attendant stepped forward slightly, lowered his voice and whispered: "Your Highness, could it be that the iron knot he was dragging before was..."
"Shenwu Cannon!" Li Changkun exclaimed subconsciously.
During the battle in Chengdu, Li Changkun was still in Bajun, and he never thought that Chengdu would fall so quickly.
The war was over before the reinforcements from Bajun arrived.
On the way back, Li Changkun also heard a lot of military information. He knew that the Jianghu forces had brought some divine cannons, which were as powerful as divine punishment. However, after a few cannons, Chengdu missed in an instant. It was a hundred times more powerful than the crossbow.
device.
Li Changkun and his entourage couldn't figure it out after thinking about it. They couldn't imagine what the Shenwu Cannon was.
Who would have thought that they had seen this divine cannon so early in the morning!
It's just that they have mortal eyes and don't know the treasure.
If it had been known earlier that the Shenwu Cannon had been robbed at the mountain pass, perhaps the situation would be different now.
People who have seen the power of the Shenwu Cannon say that as long as you master the Shenwu Cannon, you have the power to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.
Now it's fine. The only person who knew how to make the Shenwu Cannon became a prisoner, but he had to be treated as an ancestor. Even His Highness the Crown Prince didn't dare to offend him easily.
"Hey!" Li Changkun thought about it and sighed heavily. He just wanted to say one thing: Why did he have to do it in the first place if he had known what it would be like today!
After learning the cause of the matter, Li Changkun looked at Bai Song, his eyes had changed, showing infinite admiration in his respect.
He seemed to have become the curious boy he met at the mountain pass again.
