"These aristocratic families are really greedy. I have already followed Xuanba's advice and allowed them to go out and build a country and give them kingships. They still want to harm the people of Tang Dynasty?
Is it possible that you really think the imperial court is so easy to bully?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Changsun Wuji trembled in his heart, fearing that Li Shimin's anger would directly make the grain merchants' heads roll.
"How can I appease my anger over this matter?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath, and then looked at Changsun Wuji.
What he didn't expect was that Changsun Wuji still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Your Majesty, those aristocratic families have huge families and many houses, and there will always be some bastards who are disobedient and obsessed with profit!"
Changsun Wuji chuckled lightly and said: "They dare to be so careless. They probably think that our Tang Dynasty no longer has any extra food. Then they have made a mistake!"
"What do you mean by auxiliary machine?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart moved and he asked subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, in a few months, our Tang Dynasty will be able to have more than one million dan, or even two million dan, of food!"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Besides, the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other magical items that King Jin brought back from America can also be tested this winter to see how much they can produce per mu."
"Now, the more those grain merchants collect, the more they will have to pay! Moreover, our Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty a few years ago. With salt, cement roads, and external conquests of vassal states, those aristocratic families still have
You have to borrow weapons and equipment from the court.
If those grain merchants have gone too far, His Majesty will deal with them however he wants, just by moving a little bit on these, they will definitely be injured!"
Hearing this, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled up slightly.
"In order to prevent these grain merchants from jumping over the wall in a hurry, we must keep an eye on the grain in their hands, and we must not let them smuggle all this grain out of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will show them how many stones of grain they have purchased. They will not be able to transport even a grain of grain out of the Tang Dynasty!"
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui quickly raised their hands and saluted.
"snort!"
Li Shimin snorted, stood up, and walked out.
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui quickly followed.
"How are the sweet potato seedlings you cultivated at home?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the sweet potato seedlings we cultivated at home have sprouted out of the ground and are one inch tall!"
"Only one inch high? I'll take you to have a look. The sweet potato seedlings in my small pond are already two inches high!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with pride, and then he took Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui to the Imperial Garden.
For this, the two of them congratulated each other continuously.
And in Lijiazhuang.
Li Xuan also took Li Chenglu to the backyard every two days to take a look at the sweet potato seedlings in the ponds.
The sweet potato seedlings, which are more than two inches tall, are packed together with lush green color, which makes people feel happy.
Li Xuan first tried to cultivate sweet potato seedlings in six ponds. After they sprouted, he dug several large holes and cultivated more than 200 kilograms of sweet potato seedlings.
In addition, some pepper seedlings and tomato seedlings were also cultivated.
At the same time, in the fields outside Lijiazhuang, a group of farmers from Lijiazhuang, led by some old farmers, fertilized the fields and restored them.
Half a month later.
Throughout Lijiazhuang, large-scale construction of glass greenhouses has begun again.
Similarly, there is one glass greenhouse per acre.
This kind of important event is like plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn. All men, women, old and young all go out and start working.
It takes less than ten days.
Five thousand glass greenhouses were built throughout Lijiazhuang.
Neatly arranged in a wide field, all the farmers in Lijiazhuang looked at these glass greenhouses with lights in their eyes.
"This winter, I will be able to make more money again! Then I will find an aunt for the little one at home, and I will have a baby next year!"
An old man with a purple-black face stood at the door of his home, looking at the seemingly endless row of glass greenhouses in the distance, grinning happily.
"Old man Li, don't think too much!"
Uncle Liu didn't know what was going on but appeared beside him with the same expectant look on his face.
"This year, each family will still have two glass greenhouses to grow vegetables. The remaining glass greenhouses seem to be used by the king to grow the sacred objects brought back from overseas!"
"America?"
On the side, several dealers also came over with interest.
"The housekeeper only said it was overseas, but didn't say where it was. Don't make blind guesses!"
Seeing this, the sixth uncle hurriedly explained solemnly.
"Yes, yes, that's overseas!"
After hearing this, several dealers on the side also responded one after another.
They don't dare to quarrel with the village masa of Lijiazhuang. If they lose, it's better to say that if they win, the housekeeper will definitely make trouble for them if they make the old man angry.
"snort!"
The sixth uncle looked at the kids around him with some arrogance and prepared to walk to the other courtyard.
This year's glass greenhouse was built so early, shouldn't we start planting fruits and vegetables in it earlier?
There are also the sweet potatoes that the king wants to plant, the magical potatoes, and how to plant them. The sixth uncle is very concerned about them.
"Each family is responsible for planting and managing the glass greenhouses. As for the remaining glass greenhouses, the boys who went to sea with the king will be responsible for planting and managing them.
But every greenhouse needs a farmer to follow those guys and learn how to plant and manage those magical things!"
Li Chang said.
"Those brats are responsible for planting? Those brats have rough hands and feet, and the crops are so delicate. If they ruin it, wouldn't it mean that the king's important task is missed?"
Hearing this, the sixth uncle couldn't help but feel worried.
At this time, Li Xuan walked out with Li Chenglu, followed by Li Baoding and Wang Xuance.
He said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Six, those guards have already planted two crops at sea. They may not be as experienced as you old farmers in growing vegetables, but they are the most experienced in growing sweet potatoes and potatoes.
However, they only planted it once and taught farmers how to plant it.
Starting next year, it will be up to you to plant them!"
"I see!"
Uncle Six nodded slowly, and then said to Li Xuan: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, those brats in Zhuangzi will definitely study hard!"
"I couldn't be more relieved that my sixth uncle is here!"
Li Xuan chuckled again.
"Uncle Six, please gather the farmers and start planting potatoes soon!"
"Growing potatoes?"
The sixth uncle was startled, and then walked out without asking any questions.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, those brats in Zhuangzi have been waiting in Zhuangzi!"
After going out, Uncle Six greeted all the little brats in the village and started calling people from door to door.
Soon, the square was filled with a dark crowd of people.
And the group of personal guards who followed Li Xuan out to sea carried the two hundred kilograms of potatoes that Li Xuan had brought back to the glass greenhouse.
The potatoes Li Xuan brought back to Lijiazhuang were about 240 kilograms.
They ate more than ten kilograms.
Now, there are still 230 kilograms left.
According to estimates by Li Xuan and others, one hundred kilograms of potatoes can be planted on one acre of land.
So, I just brought enough 200 kilograms to plant two acres of fields.
The remaining thirty kilograms should be saved first in case something unexpected happens to the two hundred kilograms of potatoes and they are not planted.
