"If I guess correctly, the potato in the hands of Lord Changsun should be the potato that I used as seeds. Due to the long storage time, toxins accumulate in this kind of potato, causing green spots, which makes it poisonous."
"Lord Changsun, I don't know if you personally sneaked into my palace to steal yesterday, or if you sent someone to do it?"
After hearing Li You's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
However, Changsun Wuji's face became a little sad, "Your Highness, King Yan, someone threw these potatoes into my house in the middle of the night. Please don't frame me for it."
Then, Changsun Wuji raised his hand to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, now that His Highness King Yan has answered my question, I can feel relieved."
After saying that, Changsun Wuji returned to the queue of civil servants with a normal expression, as if nothing happened.
However, Prince Li Chengqian, who jumped out just now because he was eager to point at Li You, was a little embarrassed at the moment.
"Your Highness, do you have any other advice?"
Changsun Wuji was like an old fox, slippery, but Li You would not spoil Li Chengqian, so he asked with a smile.
"If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask questions and I will tell you everything you know."
"you...."
Even the company commander Sun Wuji retreated at a bad start. Naturally, Li Chengqian did not dare to confront Li You, "Li You, don't be proud. I am your eldest brother and also the prince. You should show some respect to me."
[Eldest brother? Prince? In our eyes, you are nothing. 】
[Today, for the sake of Li Er, I will let you go first. If you want to mess with us again, we must know that the pot is made of iron!]
Li You ignored Li Chengqian and returned to his station.
Li Chengqian was furious when he saw that Li You ignored him at all, but he had no choice but to glance at Li Shimin quietly and quickly bowed his head and left.
"Okay, now that the matter of Tudou has been explained clearly, there is nothing to worry about." Li Shimin waved his hands calmly and continued: "If you have anything else to say, please tell me."
Dai Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have received news that there is a drought in Hedong Road and the food harvest is poor. If it is not handled properly, there is a risk of civil commotion."
Hearing the report from Dai Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, all the ministers including Li Shimin could not help but sigh. Droughts in Hedong Road happen every year, and the court has available methods, such as: disaster relief, persuading farmers, reducing taxes, etc. All other measures have been used, but they still have no effect and cannot completely solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of Hedong Road.
Quan Wanji's eyes flickered at this time, and he came out again, "Your Majesty! Wei Chen believes that if we want to promote potatoes, we should start from Hedong Road. If Hedong Road can successfully promote potatoes, then there will be areas where food and clothing cannot be solved in the Tang Dynasty. !”
Quan Wanji's words exploded in the hall like thunder.
Fang Xuanling's originally worried look also shone when he looked at the potatoes in the vat.
"Your Majesty! If these potatoes can really produce 1,500 kilograms per mu on the dry land in Hedong Road, it will definitely solve the food shortage problem in Hedong Road. It will be the root cause!"
Fang Xuanling immediately stood up to support Quan Wanji's proposal.
"Your Majesty! I also agree to promote potatoes in Hedong Road first!"
Du Ruhui also quickly seconded the proposal.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
....
Ministers came forward to support him one after another.
Except for a few former ministers of the Supreme Emperor, most of the ministers in the Taiji Palace were ministers who followed Li Shimin to conquer the world. Naturally, they did not want to see the people of the Tang Dynasty starving. This was a problem that would shake the foundation of the country.
You have to know how many dynasties have perished. The most fundamental reason is that the people can no longer survive, so they can only rebel to survive!
The common people are also the most patient. As long as you ensure that they do not starve to death, they will not rebel, and they will still think of you!
On this point, the court officials and Li Shimin agreed.
"In this way, the potato promotion incident started from Hedong Road!"
Li Shimin made the final decision with a smile.
"King Yan, you have really made a great contribution this time!"
When he thought that this potato was cultivated by Li You and now he had solved a big problem, Li Shimin couldn't help but want to praise him.
In an instant, the eyes of Li Shimin and the officials were all focused on Li You.
However....
Ha...huh...ha...huh....
At this time, Li You had already fallen asleep while standing, and his extremely regular breathing sounded in the hall. At this moment, the world was quiet, and the only sound of Li You's breathing could be heard in the entire hall.
He...he...he actually fell asleep!!
Everyone was making suggestions for governing the country, but in such a solemn and solemn place, he was actually sleeping!
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were directly shocked by Li You's operation!
However, after the lessons learned from the previous two times, no one among the ministers dared to stand up and raise an issue. Only Li Chengqian could not help but stand up again and said: "Father! King Yan is sleeping openly in the main hall, and there is no court law in his eyes. There is no awe in my heart and must be severely punished!"
Li Shimin turned around and glared at Li Chengqian.
You kid, I haven't settled the score with you yet, so I jumped out in such a hurry.
Are you so jealous of your brother?
Just now you participated in playing with your brother without knowing the facts. Li You didn't care about you. It's better for you to seize the opportunity and start targeting your brother. Is this your consciousness of being the big brother?
These words flashed through Li Shimin's mind in an instant without being spoken out.
However, when Li Chengqian glared at him from Li Shimin, he suddenly retreated.
It’s so difficult! What happened to my father? I didn’t do anything wrong! Why does my father hate me so much?
Li You was late for court and slept in the main hall. Is it all my fault if I tell you?
If I were like Li You, I would probably be abolished directly!
Why! This is unfair!
At this moment, Li Chengqian felt as aggrieved as he wanted.
But fearing Li Shimin's majesty, Li Chengqian could only retreat cautiously.
And Wei Zheng also stood up.
Just when the officials thought Wei Zheng was going to get angry again, he spoke.
"Your Majesty, I thought that Your Highness, King Yan, must be overtired because he stayed up late at night cultivating potatoes, and it was his first time to go to court, so he was so exhausted that he fell asleep. It is really understandable."
"In addition, His Majesty just issued a decree that King Yan can ignore the palace rules, so there is no need to punish King Yan for sleeping!"
Hearing what Wei Zheng said.
The heads of the ministers were buzzing, and their jaws almost dropped in shock.
Is this a fake Wei Zheng?
Where is Wei Zheng, who once hated evil, was righteous, fearless, and impartially remonstrated?
Could it be that a potato bought Wei Zheng?
The ministers couldn't figure it out and sighed and shook their heads.
Li Chengqian felt even more aggrieved when he saw that Wei Zheng was talking for Li You. Whenever he did anything out of the ordinary, Wei Zheng was the first to participate. Now...hehe...
