Chapter 126 The Potatoes Are Harvesting
Fortunately, many crops have already begun to scion.
This made Li Shimin sit in the carriage and sighed when he saw this scene.
Although it has been dry like this.
However, the common people can more or less guarantee a little harvest.
Without Chengan's preparation, this would have been a disaster year with no harvest.
If the common people have nothing to harvest.
How should I live this year.
Counting on the imperial court's food reserves, to be honest, it is not enough for him and the officials.
Because there are still millions of troops waiting to open their mouths to eat.
Food has become a mountain weighing on Li Shimin's heart.
These days, the entire Tai Chi Palace has lived a thrifty life.
Avalokitesvara's maid took the lead and began to vigorously promote diligence and thrift in the harem.
Everyone's meals are fixed meals, and there are no more big fish and meat on the table.
The adults in the palace feel better, but those princes and princesses who have lived in rich clothes since childhood are pitiful.
But the only exceptions are Chang Le and the sixth prince Cheng An.
Changle is still unshakeable and comes to Ping'an Palace every day to eat and drink.
The miraculous thing is that her brother Cheng'an always brings her delicious food.
Even if it is such a precious thing as an apple, Changle can still eat one every day.
During these most difficult days, Xiao Changle was undoubtedly the most comfortable one.
The others are getting thinner and thinner, their complexions are sallow.
Even walking is a look of weakness.
Only Changle's face is full of red all day long, and he walks like he used to be jumping for joy.
There are many things Changle has to do now.
Although the potatoes are already luxuriant, even the leaves are starting to turn yellow, indicating that it is time to ripen.
However, the piece of apple planted by brother Chengan became Changle's favorite place to water and work.
After all, this apple is very sweet.
When you come back, tease the twelve little piggies again.
Changle feels that these small days are very fulfilling and comfortable.
The most important thing is that every day with brother Chengan, even the smell in the air is fresh.
On this day, Changle walked happily to Prince Ping'an's Mansion as usual.
As soon as he entered the palace, Chang Le saw Brother Cheng An squatting in front of Tudou, observing carefully.
"Brother Chengan, what are you looking at? Could it be that the potatoes have worms?"
The little girl trotted all the way, came to Li Chengan's side, and also squatted down.
"Changle, brother Huang thinks that the potatoes are ripe and it's time to harvest."
After hearing Cheng An's words, Chang Le happily slapped her hands.
"Yes, yes, Changle can eat baked potatoes again."
A little girl at this age is naturally more food-minded.
Cheng An also deeply felt the same.
"Changle, hurry up and tell your father, your father told you that when the potatoes are ripe, you must let him come and harvest them in person."
"Well, Changle is going to tell Father, Brother Chengan, don't harvest potatoes secretly."
The little girl ran to Xiande Hall in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Chang Le leaving quickly, Li Chengan had a smile on his face.
Today, I can reap another wave of shock and appreciation points.
As for the value of being naughty, there have been continuous floods in the south of the Tang Dynasty recently, and the drought in the north has not eased. At this juncture, I really can't be naughty.
In Xiande Hall, Li Shimin was discussing matters with civil and military officials.
In front of Li Shimin, there are piles of memorials, without exception, the latest drought and flood conditions reported from various places.
Li Shimin is worried, and all the civil and military officials are also drooping their heads.
This is the most likely defensive measure they have taken when the Pig God revealed to them in advance that the disaster is coming.
However, the reduction in production is still very serious, and even [-]% of previous years cannot be achieved.
This means that it is impossible to expect the common people to pay taxes this year.
If so.If the common people are still asked to pay taxes, then life will be really difficult.
However, the common people do not pay taxes, so does Li Shimin have any money in the treasury.
Counting all the emperors of the past dynasties, he was the poorest.
It was a poor jingle.
If Chengan hadn't helped him raid the homes of Lu Guiling and Wang Changyuan, he would have been unable to pay the salaries of the officials and the military pay of the soldiers.
Just when Li Shimin was at a loss.
Chang Le happily ran into Xiande Hall.
The guards at the door couldn't stop him.
Li Shimin saw that it was Changle who ran in, and was immediately taken aback.
The civil and military officials were also confused, why Princess Changle ran into Xiande Hall so early in the morning.
"Chang Le, came here in a panic, did something important happen?"
Li Shimin asked with concern.
"Father, please hurry up and have a look. The potatoes planted by Brother Chengan are ripe, and I have come to invite my father to watch the potato harvest."
When Changle's words fell, Li Shimin stood up.
He remembered that there was indeed such a thing back then.
At that time, the potatoes had just sprouted. I didn't go to Ping'an Palace for so long due to busy state affairs, but I didn't expect the potatoes to be ripe.
I remembered what Cheng An told me, back then it was a species guarded by two tigers.
And the output of one plant is amazing.
Li Shimin immediately became excited, could it be God's will.
Maybe this fresh species can save the current situation of food shortage in Datang.
It would be great if it could save tens of millions of people from suffering.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin became excited.
"My dear friends, come with me to the Palace of Ping'an, and let's see how much potatoes are produced?"
With a wave of his big hand, Li Shimin took the lead to hold Changle's hand, and then went to Prince Pingan's mansion.
Followed by Manchu civil and military.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty and all the civil and military officials are here."
Cheng Chumo, who was on guard at the gate, immediately reported to Li Chengan.
"Okay, I understand, the more people come, the better."
"Hurry up and bury this potato so that it becomes firmer."
It turned out that after Chang Le left, in order to test the yield of potatoes, Cheng An and Chu Mo had already pulled out several potato plants to check the specific yield.
The result is very satisfying.
It also made Li Chengan feel relieved.
Today's shock value is absolutely impossible to escape.
"My son sees my father."
Li Chengan personally greeted Li Shimin at the door.
Let Li Shimin be happy.
"Chengan, I heard from Changle that the potatoes you planted are already in harvest season. The emperor brought all the officials here to see how much the potatoes are produced?"
"Father, son, I'm just waiting for you to harvest it yourself."
