Chapter 608 Look at this old man who won't kill you
Seeing this, Li Shimin let out a long breath.
The original good mood disappeared without a trace in an instant.
And looked at Li Chengqian who was aside, you brought this thing back, please say something!
However, Li Chengqian felt that he could not afford to offend everyone here, so he could only look at Li Shimin with a pitiful face.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted again.
They're all a bunch of old bastards!
"Shut up, everyone. There are only so few seeds left here, and we can plant about ten acres of land at most. Moreover, they used to plant on ships, but now they plant in our Datang.
In addition, autumn is about to begin, and the weather is getting cooler, so we cannot plant it in the fields. The best way is to stay in the palace and wait for me and the prince to figure out how to plant it, and then distribute the seeds to you.
Wait some more!”
Li Shimin said.
"But Your Majesty, why did I see this booklet saying that these sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, corns, etc. can all be grown in glass greenhouses.
However, when planting tomatoes, pumpkins and other things, just do a good job of artificial pollination!"
Below, Cheng Zhijie held up the book and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Your Majesty, what is artificial pollination?"
"Artificial pollination?"
Li Shimin's expression also froze, and he subconsciously looked at Li Chengqian who was standing aside.
"Back to my father, according to Uncle Jin Wang, whether it is tomatoes, pumpkins, or corns, as long as the flowering and fruiting plants want to bear fruit, they will need to be pollinated, just like a woman giving birth to a baby.
Generally in fields, bees help pollinate tomatoes and pumpkins.
However, after these things are planted in a glass greenhouse, there will be no bees in the greenhouse, and in order for tomatoes and pumpkins to bloom, people will need to help pollinate them!"
Li Chengqian quickly explained.
"Hey, I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge about growing these in a glass greenhouse?"
Cheng Zhijie suddenly realized that this method of pollination had also been done by the boy Cheng Chusi. He couldn't help but feel relieved and said with a grin: "Your Majesty, since these all need pollination, and there are so many kilograms of sweet potatoes, potatoes
, tomatoes, pumpkins and other things, you and the prince alone are simply too busy to handle them.
Why don't you give me some of these and let me plant them in the fields?
Only in this way can we cultivate more intensively and grow better sweet potatoes and potatoes!"
Li Shimin sneered, and then his face darkened.
"Hmph, what kind of evil idea are you, this old bastard? Do you really think I don't know about it? Now that these things have entered my Liangyi Palace, you still want to take them out?"
"Alas, Your Majesty misunderstood me!"
Cheng Zhijie quickly chuckled and said, "Look, Your Majesty, there are a total of 800 kilograms of sweet potatoes here, which can be used to grow 14 acres of sweet potatoes.
There are also five hundred kilograms of plugs, which is five acres of land; there are three thousand kilograms of corn, which is more than seven hundred acres; and there are pumpkins, which can be grown at least ten acres, tomatoes, peppers, etc.
How can we cultivate more than ten acres..."
"Your Majesty, please do the math. This is eight hundred acres. With so much land, even if it is fertile land, you will not be able to handle it. These little bastards like me have all followed the prince back from America.
Along the way, he was on the same level as the Prince in planting these.
In this way, we can plant some in the fields of our house, so that these little cubs can also share the worries of Your Majesty..."
Seeing Cheng Zhijie, an old guy who had a good look and could calculate a lot of numbers casually, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes widened.
"Cheng Zhijie, when did you, an old guy like you, actually learn arithmetic and do it mentally so quickly?"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others on the side were also startled.
Immediately, he looked at Cheng Zhijie with a surprised look on his face.
"hey-hey……"
Cheng Zhijie was startled, then he quickly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Old Cheng went to the martial arts lecture hall to give lectures to those brats, and while he was lecturing, he unknowingly needed to calculate the number of troops, the number of enemy troops, and so on.
As for the logistics, it’s a mess!
I, Old Cheng, was forced to have no choice but to start learning. Unexpectedly, after more than a year, I, Old Cheng, also learned arithmetic..."
"No matter how good your arithmetic is, I won't give you these sweet potatoes and potatoes!"
Li Shimin said fiercely.
"Your Majesty, with so many seeds, you not only don't have fertile land, but you also don't have so much energy to manage them. What a waste!" Cheng Zhijie hurriedly shouted.
At the same time, he looked at Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others on the side.
"Duke Guo of Qi, Duke of Wei, why are you silent, but you don't agree with what I, Old Cheng, said?"
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji sighed softly and quickly saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, the veterans and others are willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"
"Bah, you old guys are all coveting these sweet potatoes and potatoes. I won't let you harm these gods!" Li Shimin's eyes widened, his face full of determination.
"Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes, potatoes and other sacred objects are the sacred objects that my family brought back from America after enduring many hardships and narrow escapes from death. How can we bear to harm them?"
"Hmph, you are all a bunch of old killers. Don't you think I don't know?"
"Your Majesty can send people to keep an eye on me day and night. I will definitely hand over these sacred objects to these evil obstacles and let them be responsible for planting them!"
"..."
After a while, everyone talking was all thirsty.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others were also dumbfounded when they looked at Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others.
They have never seen them dare to snatch food from His Majesty's tiger's mouth.
"Do you really want to grow these magical things like sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
Li Shimin sighed with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, I dare to risk my life and death for this evil person in my family to follow the King of Jin to America and bring back these sacred objects. Then, I can only let them plant these sacred objects in their own fertile fields and personally show them to the world.
How miraculous were the yields produced by the people of the Tang Dynasty when they showed these gods? That’s why all their hardships were in vain!”
Fang Xuanling cupped her hands and said respectfully to Li Shimin.
"So, leave Gao Ming with 400 jins of sweet potatoes, 250 jins of potatoes, 40 jins of pumpkins, 1,500 jins of corns, and the remaining sweet potatoes, potatoes, corns, pumpkins, etc.
Let’s share it equally!” Li Shimin said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others all bowed their hands to Li Shimin with overjoyed faces and thanked him.
"snort!"
Li Shimin glared at these old guys and ignored them.
Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others all had apologetic smiles on their faces.
"Your Majesty, would you like to try the taste of sweet potatoes and potatoes first? Steamed sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, steamed potatoes, roasted potatoes, spicy shredded potatoes...these are all delicious!"
Seeing that his Aye had obtained dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes for himself and others, Cheng Chusi felt happy and suggested to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were immediately startled. After a moment of silence, everyone's faces were full of anger, their eyes widened, and they stared at Cheng Chusi.
"Eating sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
"These divine objects are so important to our country, the Tang Dynasty. How come you want to eat these divine objects?"
"Let me see if I don't beat you to death for this evil deed..."
