"Since the prince has said so, what else can I say?"
An old head of an aristocratic family sighed softly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Master Liu is still open-minded. Your Majesty can send troops to help all the families to conquer the vassal country, grant kings and establish kingdoms. Why aren't you satisfied?"
Li Xiaogong chuckled lightly and said goodbye to all the heads of aristocratic families.
"The king has something else to do, so I won't disturb you all!"
"Please also ask the prince to stay!"
The head of an aristocratic family spoke hurriedly.
"Um?"
Li Xiaogong was startled, glanced at him, and asked, "Master Xiao, do you have any questions?"
"I dare to ask the prince, in the last few clauses of this clause, how much advantage can we and other aristocratic families have by relying on the official positions and titles of the disciples of the patriarchs in the dynasty? How do you interpret these words?"
As soon as these words came out, all the heads of the aristocratic families were stunned and quickly looked at Li Xiaogong.
"You just need to explain it literally!"
Li Xiaogong nodded slightly, "This auction of the order in which the escort will be dispatched is not only an auction of money, but also an auction of the official positions and titles of the children of the aristocratic families in the court.
Therefore, I would like to ask you all to sort out the official positions and titles of your sons and daughters in your respective courts in the past few days, so that they can be officially auctioned in ten days!"
"Thank you, Prince!"
"My king takes my leave!"
After Li Xiaogong left, all the heads of the aristocratic families fell into silence.
After a while, all the heads of the aristocratic families resigned from each other.
After returning to their respective homes, they began to sort out the children and titles of those who entered the court as officials in their respective families.
Suddenly, some families were happy and some were sad!
Some aristocratic families who were young officials in the court began to mutter again and cursed angrily from time to time.
As for whom to scold?
Anyway, someone from Lijiazhuang cannot escape!
Furthermore, the ministers who formulated those terms cannot escape either!
Five days later again.
Li Xuan informed Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others that the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns in Lijiazhuang can be officially harvested!
After receiving the news, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong and other ministers, including old man Li Yuan, also came to Lijiazhuang early.
own time.
The sun is high and slanting, shining warmly on people.
Li Xuan took Li Baoding, Wang Xuance and others, and even Xue Rengui asked Li Ji for leave, and brought a group of soldiers from the army who followed Li Xuan to the Americas to Lijiazhuang.
Everyone holds a brand new steel shovel in their hands and starts digging from the first sweet potato.
Two shovels went down and several large purple-red sweet potatoes were shoveled out.
Behind him, someone was carrying a basket, and when a sweet potato was exposed, he went in to pick one up, making sure not to miss any sweet potato.
In a glass greenhouse, sixteen soldiers were digging from both sides to the middle at the same time.
Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, under the expectant eyes of everyone, the one-acre glass greenhouse seemed to have been plowed all over again.
Every inch of land has been turned over.
In one corner, twenty huge baskets were neatly placed, all filled with clean sweet potatoes.
"How many pounds?"
After confirming that there were no missing sweet potatoes in the glass greenhouse, Li Shimin, Li Yuan and others looked expectantly at Li Chang, who was weighing the sweet potatoes one by one.
On the side, Li Chengqian, Xue Rengui and others, as well as court officials such as Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, etc., all looked at Li Chang with excited faces.
Soon, after calculating twice.
Li Chang saluted Li Shimin and Li Xuan with excitement on his face.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes dug out of the glass greenhouse here total one thousand two hundred and eighty kilograms!"
"One thousand two hundred and eighty pounds?"
"hiss……"
"Harvest!"
"Fantasy!"
"What a blessing to the Tang Dynasty!"
Suddenly, cheers erupted throughout the greenhouse.
Although the sweet potato harvest was inferred last time, it must be just an inference.
Now, the sweet potatoes grown in an acre of land are placed in front of everyone, and no one will question them anymore.
After a while.
The news that the sweet potato yield exceeded twelve stones per mu spread throughout Lijiazhuang.
Even great Confucian scholars such as Li Ji and Zuo Gong, who were teaching in the school, couldn't bear it anymore and brought a group of disciples to watch.
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were all excited. They picked up a sweet potato directly and their eyes were red. Li Xuan was a little worried. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, please don't put on a show of eating raw sweet potatoes for him!
"Your Majesty, don't be so excited. Let's take a look at the sweet potato production in other greenhouses."
Looking at the excited expressions of Li Shimin, Li Yuan and others beside him, Li Xuan reminded.
"That's right, that's right!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Yuan and others also hurriedly calmed down their expressions and followed Li Xuan to the glass greenhouse next door.
And at this moment, the sweet potatoes in the glass greenhouses next door were also dug out by a group of farmers.
After so many years.
All the dealers in Lijiazhuang have mastered three-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
By the time Li Xuan and others passed by, the sweet potato production in these glass greenhouses had also been calculated.
"Your Majesty, a total of 1,120 kilograms of sweet potatoes have been dug out of this acre of glass greenhouse!"
"Your Majesty, this glass greenhouse has dug out 1,310 stones!"
"Your Majesty, one thousand two hundred stones were dug out of this room!"
"Your Majesty, this room dug out 1,180..."
After listening to the reports from all the dealers, everyone was shocked again.
After a period of dead silence, everyone burst into louder cheers and congratulated Li Shimin repeatedly.
"Your Majesty is overjoyed!"
"With this divine object, our Tang Dynasty will prosper!"
"Immeasurable merit!"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and looked at Li Xuan with excitement on his face.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so anxious. The yield of these sweet potatoes is so high, thanks to these glass greenhouses, the fertile fields and the farmers in the village who carefully take care of them day and night. If they were placed elsewhere, it would not necessarily be possible to harvest so many sweet potatoes!"
Li Xuan said again.
Li Shimin looked stunned, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
However, he always felt that something was wrong.
On the side, Li Xuan said again: "Your Majesty, sweet potatoes are only a supplementary food and cannot be used as a staple food. Now, it's time to peel the potatoes!"
"Potato?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly woke up and urged him quickly.
“Peel the potatoes quickly!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan responded and walked towards the potato greenhouse on the side.
Only two acres of potatoes were planted.
Therefore, two potato greenhouses can be plowed at the same time.
The first shovel was still started by Li Shimin, Li Yuan and Li Xuan.
Afterwards, Xue Rengui and a group of soldiers who followed him to America began to explore.
Potatoes are not big in size, but they are better in quantity.
Around them, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie and others were all following Xue Rengui and others like humanoid monitors.
Even if it's a small potato as big as your fingertip, you have to pick it up.
Therefore, it takes a lot of time to peel potatoes.
However, no one cared.
Everyone was paying close attention until the last basket of potatoes was weighed.
Everyone in the greenhouse breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, everyone subconsciously started to do the math.
"Seven hundred and thirty-five pounds!"
"Eight hundred and ten pounds!"
Finally, looking at the calculated results, everyone couldn't help but be silent for a while.
