Several well-connected aristocratic families gathered together in twos and threes to find close acquaintances.
Then, he took all the belongings prepared at home into the carriage and headed to Lijiazhuang.
Li Xuan was lying on the sofa, thinking about whether to continue planting sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in the glass greenhouse, when he saw the old butler Li Chang walking in with a strange look on his face.
"Your Majesty, a large number of aristocratic families have gathered outside the village gate, bringing several large carts of gifts, asking to see your Majesty!"
"Why do they come to Lijiazhuang in such a cold weather?"
Li Xuan felt a little baffled.
However, sit up straight.
"Invite them all into the main hall!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang responded and walked out quickly.
Afterwards, Li Xuan also got up, left the main room, and walked to the main hall.
I found a comfortable sofa and lay down again.
After a while.
A sound of footsteps sounded from outside.
Then, a group of aristocratic family heads came in from outside and were about to be wrapped into a round ball.
"I have met His Royal Highness King Jin!"
"Meet King Jin..."
Seeing Li Xuan who was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, all the heads of the aristocratic families were startled and then quickly saluted.
"Excuse me!"
Li Xuan came back and bowed indifferently, pointed to the clothes rack in the corner of the sofa, and said: "These are clothes racks. You can hang your coats on these!"
"Thank you, Prince Jin. I'll wait..."
Some heads of aristocratic families were preparing to say that in such cold weather, they did not need to take off their clothes.
However, before I finished speaking, I felt a little hot!
hot?
All the heads of the aristocratic families were subconsciously surprised. Even in the main house of the other courtyard in Chang'an City, they had never felt so warm.
Thinking about it, some heads of aristocratic families felt that their foreheads seemed to be sweating.
He quickly took off his coat and hung it on a clothes rack nearby.
Some heads of aristocratic families even took off two coats and looked at Li Xuan with surprise. How many pieces of clothes were wrapped in them?
Afterwards, a group of maids came in to serve tea, and placed a pot of boiling water on the small coffee table between the two aristocratic family heads.
At this moment, the heads of these aristocratic families had time to look at the main reception hall.
Looking at it, one's eyes can't help but light up.
It is simple and bright, surrounded by white sofas. Sitting on it is not only comfortable, but also somewhat dignified!
After I go back, I must place a circle of sofas like this in my family!
Li Xuan ignored this and continued to drink tea.
When the heads of these aristocratic families all started to look at him, Li Xuan slowly put down the tea cup in his hand.
"I wonder why all the elders came here in this cold weather?"
The heads of several aristocratic families looked at each other, and then they all saluted Li Xuan.
"It makes King Jin laugh. I am waiting for the old man to come to bother King Jin in the cold weather. I am here for the three sacred things of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, a flash of enlightenment flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
"You all also want the seeds of these three things?"
"Prince Jin is really happy!"
Seeing Li Xuan being so direct, although the heads of the aristocratic families were still a little unaccustomed to it, they actually breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"Do you know how to plant these three things?"
Li Xuan continued to ask.
"this?"
All the heads of the aristocratic families were startled, and then they all laughed in ridicule.
"Please let King Jin know!"
"Sweet potatoes need to be cultivated for two months in advance and then planted; potatoes need to be allowed to sprout, then cut into halves and buried in the soil for planting; for corn, just plant them directly into the soil!"
Li Xuantan laughed and said directly: "However, thirty kilograms of sweet potato seedlings can be planted in one acre of field; as for potatoes, it takes one hundred kilograms of potatoes to plant an acre of field; as for corn, four to five kilograms
With corn seeds, one acre of land can be planted.”
"It's so true!"
After hearing this, all the heads of the aristocratic families stood up and bowed their hands to Li Xuan solemnly.
"Thank you so much, King Jin, for teaching me this method!"
"You don't need to do this!"
Li Xuan waved his hand casually, not caring.
"As long as you plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., you will know sooner or later!"
All the aristocratic families nodded again, and then quickly looked at Li Xuan with expectant expressions on their faces.
"I wonder if you can sell some of the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in Jinwang Village to me?"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, looked at the heads of the aristocratic families, and began to settle accounts.
"Since you can come here, you should have already found out how many sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn I have harvested!"
All the heads of the aristocratic families were full of ridicule.
Li Xuan continued to calculate: "Of the ten thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, I will keep two thousand kilograms for myself and the servants and guards in the house to taste them. In addition, there are more than two thousand farmers in the village, and each of them only tastes them."
One kilogram requires more than two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes.
In this way, only 6,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes are left.
Only these 6,000 kilograms can be used to plant 200 acres of farmland. And in this Wangzhuang, there are more than 18,000 acres of fertile farmland!"
After saying that, Li Xuan looked at the heads of these aristocratic families with a half-smile.
The faces of all the heads of the aristocratic families suddenly became stiff.
"Not to mention, my father-in-law and the head of the Qinghe Cui family came here a few days ago. No matter what, I still need to give the Qinghe Cui family five acres of sweet potatoes."
"The King of Jin takes care of family ties. It is a blessing for the Qinghe Cui family to be able to ascend to the throne of the King of Jin!"
All the heads of the aristocratic families were suddenly filled with jealousy.
Li Xuan chuckled lightly and continued: "Let's talk about potatoes. There are more than 1,400 kilograms of potatoes. If we plant them all, we can plant 14 acres. I don't dare to eat too many.
Please tell me, when did I suffer this kind of injustice? I worked so hard to bring back these magical objects from tens of thousands of miles away, but after planting them, I still can’t eat them!
I can only eat three hundred catties at most, but if I give the Cui family in Qinghe two hundred catties, I can only plant nine acres in the village!"
The heads of all the aristocratic families all had their mouths twitching slightly.
Although they somewhat understood King Jin's words, everyone still couldn't help but have the urge to push King Jin to the ground and beat him severely.
It's a pity that even if they look at each other, more than twenty of them combined, they can't beat an arm of King Jin!
On the sofa, Li Xuan thought for a while and then said again: "The farm has harvested more than 11,000 kilograms of corn."
Hearing this, all the heads of the aristocratic families were overjoyed.
Immediately, everyone looked at Li Xuan eagerly.
With so much corn, they should be able to buy some!
But without thinking, Li Xuan continued: "There are more than 11,000 jins of corn. I and the servants of the palace will eat 1,000 jins. The farmers in the village will eat 2,000 jins, and then give another 1,000 jins to the Cui family in Qinghe."
.
In this way, there are still seven thousand catties left!"
Hearing this, the heads of these aristocratic families couldn't help but feel excited.
Are there so many left? Each of them can buy several hundred kilograms!
"But you don't know that when I was harvesting these corns, His Majesty came to the farm with all the noble ministers from the court to help me harvest.
I have also promised these distinguished ministers that if I go to sell these seeds, I must sell them to them first."
As he said that, Li Xuan sighed softly, with a sincere look on his face!
"As you all know, although I sometimes have a bad temper, I am a man who keeps his promises and never goes back on his words. In particular, these ministers and nobles are also nobles of the Tang Dynasty with me, and they often look up but never look down.
No matter what, I cannot abandon them and sell them to you first!"
