Chapter 1188 Economic crops! Get ten kinds of seeds
Li Shimin looked very happy.
He showed a long-lost smile.
At this time, Queen Changsun suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Rengui and Lizhi are leaving for Qingzhou in the afternoon. Shall we see them off?"
Li Shimin stopped laughing.
This is an important thing that he forgot!
"Yes, I almost forgot. There were too many things in the morning!
Of course I have to send him off! Let's go together and send him off! Now he is a hero of the imperial court, and now he has taken the initiative to invite him out of Qingzhou. I can't let him go to Qingzhou silently! Also, let someone send them the previous steamship.
Set off!"
The two times Xue Rengui went on expeditions, there was no fanfare to see him off. Li Shimin felt a little sorry! This is not what an emperor should do, but it is his own family, and he cannot do this even more!
Li Shimin said this with great pride, feeling that everything was under his control, but this ship was owned by Li Min.
He didn't even ask for Li Min's opinion and made his own decision.
You probably know that Li Min will definitely agree, right?
He thought that if it were Li Min, he would definitely send Xue Rengui a steamboat for him to travel.
After all, Li Lizhi is also Li Min's sister.
Their brother-sister relationship is also pretty good.
I just decided on his behalf what he would do! And Li Min might not go this time! No one would expose him on the spot, right?
"Yes! Your Majesty is wise! The consort will definitely be very happy after this?" Queen Changsun said
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Will that kid send Xue Rengui on his trip?"
He asked deliberately!
It's trying to get something out of someone's mouth.
"I haven't heard of it! He just got married and has many things to do, so he probably won't go!" Concubine Yang said. This was her judgment.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not! As long as we go!"
It doesn't seem to matter whether Li Min shows up or not.
In Li Shimin's view.
That's it.
And why did Li Min want to see Xue Rengui off?
Will that steal Li Shimin's limelight?
It stole his limelight, and he wasn't happy.
When you are unhappy, you have random thoughts.
And now Li Min doesn't have time to pay attention to so much.
Because what he is dealing with right now is extremely important.
At this time, there were dozens of people standing above the tenement building, their faces were dirty.
But what they held in their hands were some extremely precious seeds.
These people were the ones Li Min asked to set out from Chang'an two years ago in search of seeds.
Some people came back first because they traveled closer.
Such as cotton, sweet potato and corn, etc., come back relatively early.
But these crops were still not abundant enough for Datang.
If you want to feed more people, you need a lot of cash crops.
If you want farmers to earn more income, you need to bring more species into the Tang Dynasty to enrich the species so that people can get more crops.
Li Min already had a form in his mind.
They are also crops that he urgently needs, such as:
Watermelon: Originally from Africa, it entered the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty and obtained it from the Western Regions!
Luffa; native to Tianzhu, now connected with Tianzhu, it is very easy to obtain.
Banana: Originally from Southeast Asia, it was brought back from Tianzhu.
Chili pepper: Originally from America, it was introduced in the late Ming Dynasty.
Pumpkin: Introduced in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Apple: introduced in the late Qing Dynasty.
Cauliflower: introduced during the Guangxu Dynasty.
Cabbage: native to Europe.
Onion: native to West Asia.
Tomato: introduced to cultivation in the 18th century
These ten crops are what he wants most.
I don’t know if there are these things among these dozens of people.
Seeing dozens of people standing in front of him.
Li Min directly invited them to sit down and chat.
"Come on, everyone, sit down and chat!"
But they said: "No, sir, we can just stand. We are afraid of soiling sir's sofa!"
Everyone said so, so Li Min had no choice but to give up.
"How is the situation now?"
Li Min asked.
At this time, everyone took out the seeds they had obtained.
"Sir, these are the seeds I got from the south! They are edible when they are ripe, but they are useful for washing pots when they are overripe."
Li Min immediately understood that he was talking about loofah!
"Sir, I went over the mountains and found this in a plain! I heard that this thing can keep away the cold!"
This is chili!
"The crop produced by this thing is huge, green on the outside and red inside, very sweet, about the size of a person's arms."
This is watermelon!
"This thing is both a vegetable and a flower! It's delicious!"
This is cauliflower!
"The seeds I got are a vegetable that will make people cry when cut."
This is an onion!
"I got a banana-like plant, but the fruit it produced was green, and soon after I picked it, it turned yellow!"
This is a banana!
…
Each of them gave his own description.
He also said that it is not easy to obtain these things.
There are many places where the seeds are not allowed to be taken away, and they risk their lives to obtain them.
Li Min also remembered that at least 500 people were sent out, but less than 100 came back.
This also proves that these seeds are hard-won.
Wealth is sought in danger, and the reason why they work so hard is because of their interests.
Some people go from looking in their twenties to looking like they are fifty in two years.
But they have no regrets, because when they come back, the benefits they get from Shengtang Group will be enough for them to spend ten lifetimes.
Li Min said at that time that he would not treat them badly.
As long as they can find what they want, money is not an issue.
"Okay, okay! Great!"
Li Min was very excited as he cleaned the things sent by these people.
The ten things he wanted were all there, and there were some things he hadn't thought of.
Dozens of people received a total of about twenty kinds of crops.
Some of them were originally present in the Tang Dynasty.
These things don't do much.
But those ten things are very important.
Therefore, Li Min said: "Thank you for your hard work, I will sort out the next weight now! There are some things that I don't need here, but you can get them back, thanks to your hard work! The reward will naturally not be too small!"
Everyone was excited.
After all, my outing this time was not in vain.
Li Min next divided out ten kinds of seeds, and he also divided the other ten kinds into equal parts.
Everyone also believes that he will not mess around and there is no need.
"These ten things are among the ten pieces of information I have provided to you. The person who obtains each thing will receive one million taels each!"
Wow.
The crowd was in an uproar.
One million taels!
That is really enough for them to spend ten lifetimes.
You know, ordinary people can only earn about ten taels a year.
After experiencing the development of Shengtang Group, everyone's income in Chang'an increased to fifty taels.
That one million taels is equivalent to twenty thousand times!
It's not just ten lifetimes.
When people heard this, they were so happy that they flew into the air.
