In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard Luo Zhang's words. He also thought that Luo Zhang was asking for reward from him before he said such words.

After all, the contribution of potatoes to the Tang Dynasty was too great. Not only did it solve the famine problem caused by drought, but the military rations for the Northern Expedition were also made possible by potatoes.

If there were no potatoes, just a drought and famine would have devastated Li Shimin, let alone the Northern Expedition.

And this autumn harvest is even more abundant. In addition to satisfying the people's stomachs, the granaries are probably full.

With food, as long as he rests for a period of time, he can send troops again and launch an attack on Goguryeo without worrying about insufficient food and delaying the march of the army!

Everyone in the Tai Chi Hall focused their attention on Luo Zhang. If it were Luo Zhang before, he might have been a little nervous. Now that he has experienced so much, he has become a veteran. With so many people looking at him, he has no pressure at all!

"Luo Zhang, what do you mean by this? Although potatoes are good, there are too many. Isn't too much bad? The people are no longer hungry, and the soldiers have food. Isn't this a good thing that benefits the country and the people? Or should I say

What are the disadvantages of this potato?" Li Shimin asked tactfully. He didn't want Luo Zhang to say that he wanted to be rewarded. If so, Li Shimin would be greatly disappointed!

Luo Zhang didn't think as much as everyone thought. He coughed and continued: "Although potatoes are good, they are very inappropriate as a staple food!"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully. Judging from the feedback from various parties, potatoes are definitely very good food. If you eat a potato, you will not go hungry. It is better than food.

"Generally speaking, it is not a problem to store harvested potatoes for a few months, but after a few months, the potatoes will sprout. Once the potatoes sprout, they will contain toxins and cannot be eaten. Such potatoes must be

Throw it away, and if the grain is stored for a few years, there will be no problem if the main storage method is proper. Of course, there is no problem if you plant less, and potatoes can also be used for cooking!" Luo Zhang explained!

"What? Is this happening?" Shangshu's face changed slightly and he asked.

Others don't understand the powerful relationship. How can you, as the Minister of Household Affairs, not understand that if so many potatoes can only be stored for three months, what will happen after three months?

Because of the high yield of potatoes, most of the fertile and wasteland were planted with potatoes. There was very little food planted. Once the potatoes went bad after three days, the people and the court would be in a situation where they would have no food to cook. This was more serious than a drought.

Much heavier.

Moreover, the imperial court had no food to provide relief, because the imperial court was also full of potatoes!

Li Shimin's expression also changed slightly. Being able to sit on the dragon throne meant that he understood the powerful relationship even more.

Hunger, civil unrest, and mutiny are all possible, and people will do anything when they are hungry.

"Luo Zhang, is what you said true?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I blame you for this matter. I failed to inform you of this matter in time. I am guilty!" Luo Zhang bowed.

"this……"

Everyone was a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect potatoes to have such disadvantages. Doesn't that mean that if you don't eat potatoes for three months, you will be miserable?

You must know that potatoes are grown in all their fiefdoms, and the harvest is huge. They thought they could make a lot of money, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

Once this news gets out, the price of potatoes will plummet. Don't even think about making money. It's good if you don't lose money.

It's like working for a long time for someone else, so the loss will be huge!

Li Shimin didn't say anything, and the Minister of Revenue didn't say anything either. Everyone was in shock and didn't come back to their senses.

Luo Zhang lowered his head and pondered, thinking about how to solve this matter. If it cannot be solved, it will be a disaster for Datang!

"Your Majesty, Luo Zhang's sin is unforgivable!"

"That is, this crime is so heinous that we cannot spare him!"

"This is a disaster for the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty cannot spare Luo Zhang lightly!"

Changsun Wuji looked at the speaker and nodded with satisfaction. These are all his people. With such a good opportunity, he would naturally add insult to injury. It would be best to beat Luo Zhang to death with a stick and imprison him in a sky prison. When the time comes, he

Luo Zhang can die however he wants.

At this time, Changsun Wuji was in a happy mood. He had not been in such a happy mood for a long time.

The noise of the crowd brought Li Shimin back to reality.

Seeing the excitement among His Highness, Li Shimin also had a headache. This matter was really too big. He wanted to excuse Luo Zhang but didn't know what to say.

Facing the accusations and abuses from the officials, Luo Zhang showed no expression on his face and looked calm, as if he didn't seem to care about what these people said.

Seeing this, the Minister of Hubu next to him said: "Luo Zhang, do you have a solution?"

It's useless to scold Luo Zhang. The most fundamental thing is to find a solution, otherwise he, the Minister of Household Affairs, will also suffer.

When Li Shimin heard the inquiry from the Minister of Household Affairs, he looked at Luo Zhang again. Since Luo Zhang had told the matter and the situation in front of him, he also felt that Luo Zhang should have a solution.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Luo Zhang's nonsense anymore. He has made a big mistake and must be imprisoned in the sky prison as a warning to others!" the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said loudly.

"Humph, I need you to tell me what to do?" Li Shimin looked at the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs with a cold look in his eyes.

"No, Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I'm just too angry with Luo Zhang for what he did!" The right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs couldn't help but turn pale when Li Shimin stared at him. Apparently, he also realized that he said the wrong thing.

You can advise Your Majesty, but you cannot assign it. This is taboo. Otherwise, how to show the importance of imperial power has been assigned to you. It is up to you to make this chair.

If we investigate this further, we can be convicted of treason!

Changsun Wuji secretly cursed the idiot in his heart, how could he say such words!

"Come here, lock up the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs first!" Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Your Majesty..."

I saw two Jinwu guards walking into the main hall and dragging the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel down.

In such a scene, no one said much, even Changsun Wuji didn't help. To him, this kind of thing was nothing more than cannon fodder.

After the right minister of the Ministry of official affairs was dragged down, everyone's eyes turned to Luo Zhang at this moment, wanting to hear what he had to say!

"Since I have spoken out about this matter, there will naturally be a solution." Luo Zhang said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. If there was a way, it would be great. If there was a way, they wouldn't have to throw away the potatoes, and they wouldn't suffer too much loss!

"Tell me quickly!" Li Shimin asked.

"This method is to turn potatoes into another kind of food. I call them vermicelli. This thing is different from potatoes. Not only can it be used as a staple food, but it is also easy to store. It will not go bad even if it is stored for a year or two. It is food.
