Chapter 1003 Cheng Sanlang wants to try planting rice in Guanzhong, I will always help (please subscribe)
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Chubi, and then spoke after a long while.
"Since you are interested, take it. Speaking of which, I really hope you can succeed."
"My nephew also hopes that he can successfully try to grow rice in this place in Guanzhong."
Li Ji couldn't help but feel happy. He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to mutter a few words to tease Cheng Sanlang.
But Xuanji thought about the last time he made a bet with Cheng Sanlang. What was the result?
Half a year's salary fell into this guy's pocket, and I was laughed at for a long time by the old brother who cut off the chicken's head and burned it with yellow paper.
This kind of psychological shadow really made Li Ji dare not laugh at this kid for overestimating his abilities.
But the problem is, if you don't say anything, doesn't it make you look too cowardly?
Just when Li Ji was hesitating, Li Shimin next to him saw Li Ji's expression and suddenly became interested.
"Why, could it be that Li Qing's family is interested in gambling with this kid?"
"No, no, no, I think it's better to forget it."
"Li Qing, you have to watch it yourself. After all, Cheng Sanlang himself can't be sure. If you take a gamble, it doesn't really matter."
Li Ji glanced at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who kept encouraging him, and laughed directly.
The most irritating people are those who keep encouraging others while squatting next to them and watching the jokes.
Although Li Ji did not make a bet with Cheng Chubi, Li Shimin was still very concerned about the three-crop rice that Cheng Chubi took away to use as rice seeds.
"Mr. Guanyin, tell me, it would be great if we could grow rice in Guanzhong..."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile when she saw her husband looking at the map of Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion and sighing.
"My husband is right, but I heard that growing rice consumes a lot of water."
"Although Guanzhong is rich, water resources are actually quite abundant near Chang'an, but it is different in other places in Guanzhong."
After hearing his beloved wife's calm and rational analysis, Li Shimin's mind finally cooled down a little.
"It's true that even if rice can be grown in Guanzhong, it should be in an area near a river. It's such a pity."
"However, my husband still wants to see if Cheng Sanlang can really grow rice in Guanzhong."
"If rice can be grown in Guanzhong, it at least means that places with abundant water sources south of the Yellow River can try it."
"After all, compared to other staple foods, rice has the highest yield."
After chatting with his wife for a while, Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore and called Zhao Kun.
"According to my oral instructions, I ordered the Farming Department of the Ministry of Industry to send officials specializing in agricultural affairs to ask them to find the King of Wu..."
Empress Changsun looked at her husband Li Shimin who kept gesticulating with Zhao Kun and didn't know what he was giving orders to.
Zhao Kun nodded for a long time before leaving quickly.
Seeing her husband who was refreshed and sat down in his seat, Empress Changsun held back her voice and did not ask a question.
But Li Shimin still took the initiative to explain.
"Since Cheng Sanlang wants to try planting rice in Guanzhong, as an elder, I have to help."
"My husband is more thoughtful. By the way, my husband, Sister Danyang, how are you helping General Xue San now?"
"Danyang, I heard that the two of them are like honey mixed with oil, and they live in harmony."
"By the way, we have a rest today. They should go into the palace to pay their respects to our father. How about we go over and join in the fun?"
"I naturally let my husband make the decision, but I have to go and see if the elephant is awake first."
"Let's go there together."
The couple walked hand in hand towards the Li Zheng Palace.
Almost at the same moment, Princess Danyang and Xue Wanche, who was wearing brand new clothes, walked into the Da'an Palace together.
Under the guidance of the loyal father-in-law, he walked towards the palace.
Li Yuan drank happily, and had already put away the essence of the wine, as well as the dried fish and dried five-spice tofu.
At this moment, he looked more like a serious and kind elder, and Concubine Yuwen was sitting under him.
This Concubine Yuwen has a gorgeous appearance and a petite figure. Although she is only two years older than Empress Changsun, her hair already has some silver frost on her temples.
Her father was Yu Wenshu, a former powerful official of the Sui Dynasty. Her three brothers, Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji, all died in the turmoil at the end of the previous dynasty.
The turmoil in the last years of the previous dynasty was closely related to her two brothers, because it was her eldest and second brothers who killed Emperor Sui Yang in Yangzhou.
It was in such troubled times that she defected to Li Yuan along with her third brother Yu Wenshiji, became Li Yuan's beloved concubine, and was granted the title of Zhaoyi.
Before Yuwen became a concubine, that is, during the years when Li Yuan was emperor, she was always just a Zhaoyi.
This Yuwen family has been favored by Li Yuan since the death of Li Yuan's wife Dou family.
Even Li Yuan had several thoughts of making Yu Wen his queen, but Yu Wen was also a sensible person.
After all, Queen Dou's sons were either dragons or tigers, and none of them were fuel-efficient lamps.
If he really ascends the throne as queen, he really doesn't know if his young son Li Yuanjia will survive to adulthood.
At least her choice was very wise. In the blink of an eye, the husband she regarded as dependent was on the verge of overthrowing the entire Tang Dynasty because of the turmoil.
Now that he has become a famous but powerful Supreme Emperor, almost no one from the previous line of Crown Princes is left alive.
At that time, Yuwenshi was really shocked three times a day.
Li Shimin, the former king of Qin, suddenly became the prince and ascended the throne as emperor.
After that, the Tang Dynasty became stable again, and the Yuwen family was also grateful for their choice, and both mother and son were spared in the end.
And now, his eldest son Li Yuanjia, who was crowned just last year, has been named King of Han.
And as the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty gradually eased, they, the Supreme Emperor's concubines, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With the arrival of Princess Danyang and Xue Wanche, Li Yuan and Yu Wenshi sat there and accepted the courtesy and greetings of the young couple as a matter of course.
Yuwenshi took Princess Danyang's hand and asked in a low voice about the past few days.
Over there, Xue Wanche sat upright and looked a little stunned, while Li Yuan looked at this guy with a pained face.
I didn’t know what to talk to this Tiehanhan for a long time.
This guy was sure to answer questions, but he didn't say a word after he answered them, which really made Li Yuan feel extremely boring.
Fortunately, at this time, when he saw Erlang Li Shimin and Empress Changsun coming hand in hand, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.
After some pleasantries, Li Shimin asked Xue Wanche in a low voice with a smile.
"How about it, Xue Qing's family, are you satisfied with the marriage I have arranged for you?"
