While Li Xuan and others were watching in rapt concentration, a personal guard hurried over.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here!"
"Um?"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
"Where is Your Majesty?"
On the side, Li Chang and a group of great scholars looked slightly shocked.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is over there..."
The guard looked aside and pointed to the side with a strange expression.
Hearing this, Li Xuan and Li Chang, as well as Wang Ji, Zuo Gong, Lu Yuanshi, Gong Daoliang and several other great scholars looked in the direction of the guards' fingers, and their expressions all became strange.

I saw that Li Shimin had entered the field without knowing why, and from time to time he bent down and picked up potatoes larger than his fist, and sweet potatoes as thick and long as cow ears.
At the same time, while picking it up, he was still grinning with a smile on his face.
Behind him, Li Wei's arms were already filled with golden corn.
After reacting, Li Xuan directly picked up a large bamboo basket from the side and walked towards Li Shimin.
Li Chang, Wang Ji and several other great scholars quickly followed.
"Your Majesty, come and use this bamboo basket!"
Li Xuan placed the bamboo basket in front of Li Shimin and said calmly.
Li Shimin was startled, and then he smiled awkwardly at Li Xuan, "Xuan Ba, please don't misunderstand me. I just looked at these corns, sweet potatoes, and potatoes that were so huge. I felt happy and couldn't help but go to the fields to feel the harvest.
Such joy!"
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. I just saw that it was hard for Your Majesty and Li Wei to hold it like this, so I brought a bamboo basket to Li Wei to make it more convenient!"
Li Xuan also chuckled.
"Hahaha……"
Li Shimin was stunned and then laughed.
At the same time, I also gave up the idea of continuing to pick sweet potatoes and potatoes from the fields.
He put the sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hands into the bamboo basket, wiped them on his clothes, leaving traces of mud on his gorgeous robes, and then straightened up.
"I've met Your Majesty!"
"Old slave pays homage to the saint!"
Li Chang, Wang Ji and others quickly bowed their hands to Li Shimin.
"Well done, old gentlemen!"
To Wang Ji and other great scholars, Li Shimin also slightly bowed his hands in return.
On the side, Li Xuan asked directly: "Your Majesty shouldn't be preparing for the Tang Dynasty King's expedition, so why did you suddenly come to Lijiazhuang?"
"There must be a great event coming to Xuanba!"
Li Shimin said with a strange expression on his face.
"What a happy event?" Li Xuan was startled, then his face became full of curiosity.
However, Li Shimin had no intention of explaining, but turned his head and continued to look at Tanaka.
"Xuanba, these sweet potatoes and potatoes this year are actually bigger than last time. Can the sweet potato yield reach fifteen shi?"
"It might work!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, without any excitement about the harvest, with a dull look on his face.
"It can really reach fifteen stones?"
Li Shimin's face was full of surprise, and then his face darkened, "The sweet potato yield in my village was lower last time than the first time. Why is the sweet potato yield in your village getting higher every time? Could it be that, in my village, the yield of sweet potatoes is higher than the first time?"
Is someone here neglecting their duties?”
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. Before planting the sweet potatoes and potatoes in our farm, farmers specially spread fertilizers on this field, so that they can grow so big!"
Li Xuandan explained in a calm voice.
"fertilizer?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Your Majesty, it is the ashes of vegetation. The farmers in the village burned the firewood, or the ashes left by the vegetation were filled in the fields and fertilized out.
In addition, there are still daily debris such as rotten fruits, vegetable leaves, bones of chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, and fertilizers made from soil!"
Li Xuan slowly explained.
"So it's these things!" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.
Although he was born into a powerful family, he also understood and had seen what Li Xuan said.
"But, do these things really have such a great effect?"
"Your Majesty, haven't you already seen it?"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "Crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and even wheat and rice are just like people and animals. If they want to grow up, they also need to eat some food, and the food of these crops is some nutrients in the soil.
, the more fertile the soil is and the more nutrients it contains, the better the crops will grow.
And if you continue to plant crops like this without adding fertilizer to the soil, over a few years, the fertility in the soil will decrease, and these fertile fields will slowly degrade into poor fields, and the crops they will grow will only last a year.
Not as good as a year!”
"Just like your majesty's farm, the fertility of the soil is limited. If you want the crops in the fields to grow better, you must spread fertilizer into these fields, so that they can grow better and better!"
"Xuanba's farming skills are getting better and better. I have the idea of sending Sinong Temple Qing to Lijiazhuang to learn from you all the time!"
Li Shimin said with emotion.
"Don't!"
Li Xuan shook his head repeatedly, his face full of resistance.
"Your Majesty, many farmers and villagers know these things, but they don't have as good conditions as I do. Moreover, if Your Majesty really wants to let Sinong Si Qing come to Lijiazhuang to learn these things, you can ask Sinong Si Qing to come to Lijiazhuang for a day or two.
For a month, just come and take a walk around the fields in Lijiazhuang.
I believe that the Lord of Sinong Temple and the farmers in the village will still be willing to teach you!"
"..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but froze. He asked these villagers to teach him how to farm the land with Sinong Temple Qing. Even he thought it was impossible not to mention Sinong Temple Qing!
However, these novel and easy-to-use farming strategies often appear in Lijiazhuang, which makes Li Shimin feel itchy!
He continued to watch for a while, until Li Shimin had enough of his eyesight.
Li Xuancai took Li Shimin to the reception room in the other courtyard.
After resting for a while and finishing half a cup of tea, Li Shimin spoke slowly.
"Xuanba, you know, this afternoon, the Turkic Hozen Lu Dongzan sued you!"
"Lu Dongzan?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but look surprised.
"Your Majesty, what did this hozen accuse me?"
"You signed a letter of vassalage with the Tubo envoy, and you have evil intentions. The last time I came to your Lijiazhuang, I was assassinated. It was you who conspired behind the scenes!..."
Li Shimin told Li Xuan one by one what Lu Dongzan said, without any intention of hiding anything.
"this……"
After being stunned for a long time, Li Xuan looked furious.
"This hozen is really evil!"
"Xuan Ba must not be angry, these hozens are not worth Xuan Ba's anger!"
Li Shimin quickly comforted him with a smile on his face, but no matter how Li Xuan looked at him, he could see a gloating smile on Li Shimin's face!
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't do anything impulsive!"
Li Xuantan laughed and said with an indifferent expression: "Moreover, this behavior of the Tubo Hozen will allow me to take action against them with peace of mind and destroy their country!"
