"Yes, Your Majesty! Shengtang Group has planted a total of ten acres of rice! These rice varieties are developed by Jia Junyuan under the instruction and guidance of Mr. Zili. This variety is drought and insect resistant and has extremely high yields!"
Speaking of Jia Junyuan, he has not appeared in Shengtang Group for some time.
He also studied the potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts that Li Min had brought back from America.
These varieties are varieties that have not undergone improvement, so they are needed.
Speaking of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and peanuts, after they were introduced to the Tang Dynasty, they would greatly alleviate the food pressure caused by population growth and provide the basis for the subsequent population explosion.
This will be one of Li Min's greatest achievements.
Only when you are full can you think of more things!
Only then can technology develop rapidly.
"Where is Jia Junyuan? I want to know how the yield of these rice crops is going to increase?"
Li Shimin was shocked. He especially wanted to know what changes Li Min had made.
"Jia Junyuan is just ahead checking the wheat growth."
Wheat? A food other than rice. But today’s harvest is not wheat, but rice. But if the rice harvest is good, we can look forward to wheat.
"Let him come to see me! I have something to ask him!"
Li Shimin said.
"yes!"
Zhu Shan had no choice but to go and invite Jia Junyuan.
"Your Majesty, there's nothing interesting about this rice. I think it's nothing more than that! It seems ordinary."
Xiao Yu looked at the rice in front of him and said.
"Xiao Yu, why is it just like this? I have also seen people planting fields, and the ears are full. The yield of this acre of field must be at least 500 kilograms! How can it be mediocre! This is an improvement!
It shows that improvements can continue!”
Concubine Yang said.
Even a little bit of progress will make people ecstatic because they are so important.
Xiao Yu did not dare to contradict, but did not speak.
Now that Concubine Yang's status is second only to Empress Changsun, he doesn't dare to lie on the gun. That would be unwise.
But Li Shimin seemed particularly excited.
"If there are really five hundred, that would be the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty! I look forward to it very much!"
In ancient times, the rice yield was extremely low. During the Warring States Period, the yield per acre was only two hundred.
In Datang, it has been raised to 300. If it can reach 500, it will be Datang's opportunity.
"Your Majesty, I thought it would be more than three hundred at most. Seeing how fertile the land is, more than three hundred would be considered as high as the sky."
Xiao Yu said.
In addition to good varieties, it also has a lot to do with the land to increase yields.
He was right about this.
He bypassed Concubine Yang and did not argue with her.
Instead, he had a direct conversation with Li Shimin.
While they were discussing, Jia Junyuan trotted over.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen, Concubine Yang!"
He saluted one by one.
"Excuse me, Jia Junyuan, tell me, what is the yield per acre of this rice?"
Li Shimin asked.
Jia Junyuan thought for a while.
"The yield per acre is more than 800 kilograms. Maybe more!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin staggered. This was such great good news. He was overjoyed.
"What? Eight hundred? Are you sure?"
"Your Majesty, ordinary people dare not lie to you!"
Jia Jun said far away.
After he resigned from the imperial court, he became a citizen, so he called himself a grassroots citizen.
Even if he had ten courages, he wouldn't dare to deceive Li Shimin, and if he couldn't reach eight hundred, then all his efforts this year would be in vain, and he wouldn't be able to fight any big battles.
Xiao Yu said, "Jia Junyuan, don't talk nonsense. How can this rice weigh more than 800 kilograms? Don't talk nonsense. The crime of deceiving the emperor will be punished by being slapped with a stick at the least, or beheaded at the worst!"
"People don't dare to talk nonsense. People have made calculations, and it's true. This season's harvest will be bumper, and it may be even higher."
"How is that possible? Three hundred is the highest, but you want to go higher? Are you afraid that I have never farmed before?"
Xiao Yu said in disbelief.
Jia Junyuan was not in a hurry either.
"Ordinary people are pragmatic and dare not speak big words. If they don't believe it, then they have no choice."
"Your Majesty, I believe Jia Junyuan's words. He never tells lies, there is no doubt about this!"
Queen Changsun said supportively at this time.
Concubine Yang also said: "It is understandable that the Shengtang Group has a miracle, so the yield of 800 per acre must be there!"
The two supported Jia Junyuan.
Jia Junyuan was a little moved.
After all, they are neither relatives nor friends.
But little did he know that the two women were after Li Min.
After all, these are Li Min's industries.
"Your Majesty, I believe that a person who speaks such arrogant words should be punished!"
Xiao Yu continued.
Zhu Shan couldn't listen anymore.
"Believe it or not, it's just a matter of thought, but you can't believe it in the face of facts. It just so happens that we haven't harvested it yet. Why don't you ask your majesty to testify? Harvest ten acres of rice on the spot, and you will know by weighing it at the end.
What is the specific output? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Shan has been following Li Min for a long time, and his speaking skills are somewhat good.
Unlike Jia Junyuan, who can only be anxious with others.
When you compete with others, you don't think about blocking others' mouths.
But Zhu Shan can.
"Your Majesty, I think this is the best. Whether it is a horse or a donkey, you will know after you try it!"
Concubine Yang followed.
"Forget it, let me see how much rice can be produced from these ten acres of rice?"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhu Shan understood.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"How long will that take?"
Xiao Yu suddenly asked.
"The harvest can be finished in half an hour!"
Zhu Shan said.
"Hmph, stop lying to me. This ten acres of land will take at least half a day for you guys, right? You have to finish harvesting it in half an hour? What a joke."
"Whether it is yes or not, you will know after a look. Isn't it too early to question now? Your Majesty is not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?"
Zhu Shan did not say the last sentence.
Then the emperor is really not in a hurry and is in a hurry to kill the eunuchs.
"Zhu Shan, you can start!"
Li Shimin ignored Xiao Yu.
"clear!"
After finishing, he greeted the people from the Shengtang Group to start harvesting.
The people at the scene actually left.
This shocked Li Shimin.
Didn’t it say there was a harvest? What about people?
Why did you leave?
Does this mean you don't take him seriously?
At the same time, Xiao Yu took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Zhu Shan and others have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. They must be severely punished! Otherwise, what will happen to your Majesty's prestige in the future?"
No one expected that they would all leave.
What is this operation?
Li Shimin was also a little angry.
After all, he is still an emperor.
Why are you making fun of yourself like this?
But just when he was about to get angry and fly into a rage.
Concubine Yang pointed forward and said: "Your Majesty, look over there!"
Follow the direction her finger points.
Everyone looked into the distance.
Everyone was shocked.
A big guy appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The soldiers blocked Li Shimin's front with their bodies, and some archers set up their bows and arrows, ready to attack at any time.
