Immediately, everyone's faces were full of surprise.
"The yield is seven stones per mu!"
"This is the staple food!"
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others all looked at the baskets of potatoes with their eyes shining brightly.
"In this way, we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have another delicious staple food!"
"Xuanba, with this magical object, our Tang Dynasty will definitely prosper!"
"..."
Looking at Li Shimin and all the noble ministers who were caught up in the carnival, Li Xuan said quickly.
"Your Majesty, there is still corn, and the corn is not broken yet!"
Li Shimin woke up again, and this time he ran out without waiting for Li Xuan.
The glass greenhouse where corn was grown, he remembered which one it was.
"His Majesty……?"
Behind him, Li Xuan glanced helplessly at the large shed where they often broke and ate corn into which Li Shimin rushed in.
Turn around and walk to another greenhouse on the side.
After Li Shimin entered the glass greenhouse, he immediately stood there, looking at the situation inside the greenhouse with a look of disbelief.
The next moment, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie and others also followed directly in.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Cheng Zhijie's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he shouted anxiously: "The corn is gone? What kind of prodigal son is this, who ruins the corn like this?"
Originally, there were a lot of corn plants, but now there are only a few sparse ones left.
Moreover, at first glance, these corn plants are all crooked, cracked, and stunted!
“Even the corn stalks are gone!”
Li Shimin also murmured to himself in a low voice with a look of helplessness, and hurriedly walked out.
"Your Majesty, Master is in this shed!"
Outside the greenhouse, Li Baoding reported to Li Shimin.
"What's going on with the corn in this greenhouse?"
Li Shimin caught Li Baoding and asked.
"Your Majesty, they were all eaten by Master and Chenglu!"
Li Baoding replied casually.
"Eat everything?"
Li Shimin looked startled.
"Yes!" Li Baoding responded again with his hands raised.
On the side, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie and others came out with strange faces.
“Where are those corn stalks?”
Li Shimin asked again.
"Been eaten too!"
Li Baoding replied.
“Can corn stalks be eaten?”
At this time, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were shocked.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. The corn stalks are eaten by the horses and cattle raised in the farm!"
Li Baoding quickly explained, "Moreover, those horses and cattle also like to eat corn stalks!"
"I see!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then walked into the glass shed where Li Xuan entered.
After entering, my eyes lit up, this is what a corn greenhouse should be like.
The entire greenhouse is densely covered with corn stalks as tall as a person.
There is one or two ears of corn growing on each planting pole!
The ministers and nobles he brought were all like a group of farmers, imitating Xue Rengui and others, breaking off the ears of corn with force, and then carefully placing them in the horse basket aside.
Beside the horse basket, a group of soldiers were already sitting, holding a sharp iron rod in their hands. They easily slipped into the ears of corn, and then a neat gap appeared in the ears of corn.
Pieces of golden corn kernels were skillfully peeled into the basket below by the soldiers.
After a few breaths, there was only a dry corn cob left in his hand.
Throwing it aside, the soldiers picked up another ear of corn and began to peel it.
"Your Majesty, only these small corn kernels can be eaten. As for these corn cobs and corn stalks, they can be eaten by horses and cattle!"
Li Xuan saw the curious look on Li Shimin's face and explained.
"I see!"
Li Shimin nodded slowly, then turned around and joined the corn-breaking army.
Half an hour later.
All the corn in this glass greenhouse was broken off, and all the corn kernels were peeled off and put into eight large baskets.
Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and others were talking to Li Chang and others while memorizing them.
"Six hundred and twenty pounds!"
Finally, under the expectant eyes of Li Shimin, Li Yuan and others, Li Chengqian reported with a trembling voice.
"Six hundred and twenty pounds!"
"Hahaha, God bless me, Datang!"
"God bless me, the Tang Dynasty!"
"Our Tang Dynasty will surely prosper..."
Suddenly, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were all excited.
This time, Li Shimin quickly calmed down without Li Xuan's reminder.
He looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
"Xuanba, didn't you plant twenty acres of corn? Besides, those corns also need to be cut off!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the surrounding glass greenhouses are filled with corn!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said: "Moreover, there are already a group of farmers and princes in those greenhouses, starting to break corn!"
"Very good!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly and walked directly outside.
Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and other ministers and nobles also looked happy and followed him out quickly.
then.
After a while, all the ministers and nobles in the greenhouse left.
All the ministers and nobles spontaneously formed a group, got into the greenhouses, and began to break the corn skillfully!
Li Xuan stretched his head and looked around. It seemed that he was alone and had nothing to do!
In desperation, I casually walked into a greenhouse.
Then, he sat on a small stool and began to slowly peel the corn.
Although there is strength in numbers.
But unfortunately, the place is small.
Plus there’s too much corn.
Another hour passed.
The more than two thousand farmers in Lijiazhuang, plus the dozens of Tang Dynasty princes and nobles brought by Li Shimin, were able to finish peeling the corn in four greenhouses.
The only thing that makes sense is that the corn in the twenty greenhouses was broken off from the corn stalks and neatly stacked in baskets.
"Grandpa Huang, Aye, Master, the corn in these four rooms each weighs 650 kilograms."
"Six hundred and eighty pounds!"
"Five hundred and ninety pounds!"
"Six hundred and thirty pounds!"
After Li Chengqian slowly finished his report, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and other dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty were all overjoyed again.
However, this time every minister and distinguished minister was out of breath from exhaustion and had no energy to shout or make any noise.
"Very good!"
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, they all slightly arched their hands towards Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others.
"Thank you all for coming to help harvest sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn this time!"
"Xuan Ba, don't be polite!"
"Exactly, His Highness the King of Jin is too polite. This time His Highness the King of Jin worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles to recover so many divine objects from overseas continents for us, the Tang Dynasty. It is fitting that we should thank His Highness the King of Jin!"
"Extremely yes, extremely yes..."
Li Shimin and all the ministers and nobles quickly expressed their gratitude.
"makes sense!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan nodded slowly, "I also said that as a thank you, I will give each of you two kilograms of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. Since you don't need them, there's no need to waste your energy!"
"..."
Hearing this, the faces of all the distinguished ministers froze, and then they shouted hurriedly.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, please do not misunderstand me!"
"Exactly, His Highness King Jin, please don't misunderstand me. We are all very greedy for the few kilograms of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn that King Jin mentioned!"
"Exactly, exactly..."
As he said that, all the ministers and nobles looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
I am so jealous that after so many days, no noble minister has taken the initiative to reveal this matter to those aristocratic families.
