Li Xiuning smiled and said, "Father! This corn is a real good crop. Although the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is high, the storage period is only half a year. Even if the sweet potatoes are dried, if they are dried, the yield per mu may be about ten throtts! The main reason is that the dried sweet potatoes are not delicious, and potatoes are half grain and half vegetables. Although they can be processed in the future, the technology is not yet mature. Corn and corn and rice can be stored for a long time, and the taste is also very good."

After hearing Li Xiuning's introduction, Pei Ji walked over and said with a smile: "In the past, everyone said that there are grains and grains in the world. Then should we call them six grains and grains in the future?"

Everyone already understood what kind of huge changes these new crops would bring to the Tang Dynasty if they were promoted to the world.

After Pei Ji finished speaking, he bowed and congratulated Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, this is another new food added by our Chinese nation! Your Majesty is glad to congratulate!"

Li Er, Li Jiancheng and other court officials saw Pei Ji congratulating Li Yuan for fear of flattery, so they hurried over to congratulate Li Yuan.

"Sanniang! When can this sweet potato, potato and corn seed be promoted?" Li Yuan accepted everyone's congratulations and asked the promotion question again.

Li Xiuning thought for a moment and immediately said, "Father, the people need to adapt to new grains, not to mention that there are not many seeds now, and they need to be cultivated in the seed base. I think it will be slowly promoted near Guanzhong. After a year or two, the people will become familiar with the new crops. At that time, there will be more seeds and they can be promoted to the whole world."

"Okay! OK! Very good. Sanniang, you are very mature in considering problems, don't be impatient or impatient, and govern the world, this is what it should be." After hearing this, Li Yuan said three times in a row, and was very satisfied with Li Xiuning's analysis.

After saying that, Li Yuan's face was excited and said, "Sanniang, you and Li Yu have made such contributions. Although you cannot reward Li Yu with such a high title, this time you offer a great reward for your father. What do you say you want, and your father will meet your requirements."

When Li Xiuning heard this, he looked happy and immediately said, "Father, I have no other requests for my daughter. I just want my father to let Chai Shao and I get divorced. I hope my father can be sure!"

After hearing Li Xiuning's request to terminate the marriage, Li Yuan, who was originally happy, looked a little embarrassed at this moment. As a father, he certainly hoped that his daughter could have a happy marriage, but as an emperor, he could not do this. He had to consider the stability of the entire country, and he could not make the Tang Dynasty feel turbulent for the sake of his daughter's marriage.

The whole world seems to be a prosperous scene, but in fact it is just a superficial phenomenon. If you are careless, you may cause huge turmoil.

In fact, the entire Tang Dynasty is now dominated by major families. These big families do not show off on the surface, but in fact they control all aspects of the world. Not to mention anything else, at least 80% of the officials in the court are spokespersons of large families, and there are also important industries such as grain, cloth and steel, behind which some families are hosted by them.

The Chai family is an important channel for him to contact other aristocratic families, so Li Yuan doesn't want to or dare to have a quarrel with the Chai family now. If the chain reaction is caused, it will be very huge.

At this time, Li Yuan didn't know how to reply to his daughter. He wanted to reject his daughter, but he felt sorry for her. What's more, she has made such a great contribution now. If she doesn't reward her, it will be difficult to convince the public. But if he agrees, he is worried about breaking up with the Chai family. If the Chai family joins other aristocratic families to support other small warlords, it is hard to say that the world will be in dispute again. Li Yuan is now in a dilemma.

After considering this, Li Yuan had to let down his daughter for the current plan, so he had to use the drag-on technique first, and delay her for a few years to see the situation before deciding.

Li Yuan had already made a decision in his heart.

Li Yuan looked up and looked at Li Xiuning with a solemn look on his face for a while. Finally, he sighed softly and said, "Sanniang, this matter is of great importance. Give him some time to be a father. I have to think about it before I can give you an answer!"

Hearing Li Yuan’s words, Li Xiuning’s face changed instantly, and it completely shattered Li Xiuning’s hope.

She understood what her father had made. She knew her father's temperament very well. If her father agreed, she would tell herself at that time that if he said he wanted to consider it, it would be nothing more than a delay.

However, she herself knew very well that her father did not dare to fall out with the Chai family now. Only when the court could resist the family could he agree to her request.

Seeing Li Xiuning's disappointed look, Li Yuan wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to say to her. He knew in his heart that he did not dare to agree to his daughter's request, and he did not dare to gamble. Since he chose the country first, family affection would become increasingly weak in the future. This is an emperor, and finally he became a lonely emperor.

Li Er and Li Jiancheng stood aside and did not dare to express their opinions. They also knew the risks, but just opened their mouths and did not move. They didn't know that they could say something to their sister (sister).

At this moment, there was a dismal situation in the greenhouse. Li Yuan and the court officials looked at the various vegetables in the greenhouse and went back to the palace to discuss the issue of new crops.

Seeing his father's carriage leave, two lines of crystal tears cannot help but overflow from Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes. She did not expect that this shocking contribution did not bring about her request to reunite. She didn't know what to do in the future.

Maybe it was only relying on that bad guy, he would find a way. He told himself that he had a way, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. Thinking of Li Yu's failure to say hello to him and ran away without a trace, which made Li Xiuning's heart even more painful. She wanted to find a man to snuggle her and comfort her heart.

...

Li Yuan, Li Er, Li Jiancheng, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi... Everyone returned to the palace together.

Li Yuan returned to Tai Chi Hall and immediately issued an edict to summon all the ministers in the court. He wanted to tell the ministers this good news, and in addition to the issue of how to promote it in Guanzhong.

Moreover, the intention of several people to discuss with Li Yuan was to announce the shocking news that new grain with a yield of more than 2,000 kilograms per mu could bring back the people of the world. Even if there was no reclaimed occupied areas, it would also shake the people's hearts of the people under the jurisdiction of those warlords.

Not long after, the ministers in the court had been notified and rushed to the palace one after another.

With the arrival of the ministers, Li Yuan stood up from the dragon throne excitedly and said, "Today I will tell you all the ministers that there are great news. Two new grains with a yield of more than 2,000 kilograms per mu and more than 500 kilograms of new grain appeared in our Tang Dynasty."

After hearing this, the ministers in the court were stunned and wondered what happened to the emperor today. Are you kidding everyone? Are there such high-yield crops in the world?

But they saw Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi... there was no change in his face, but nodded slightly and admitted that the matter was true.

"Is there really such high yield crops?"

This is what all the ministers staying in the Tai Chi Hall think at this time.

I saw an old man with a hunchbacked figure and gray hair among the ministers walked out unsteadily.

"Cough...cough..."

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, and the man looked very kind and was not angry and powerful. He coughed a few times without panic and said, "Your Majesty is really a matter? There is really a grain yield of more than 2,000 kilograms per mu in this world? Didn't the emperor mess with us?"

The old man was named Yang Nong, who was an honest and kind old man. Because he had always served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, whether in the former Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Revenue was not just a simple matter of managing household registration. Its main functions, managing money, grain, finance, taxation, etc. It can be said that the land in the world was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. Now many ministers in the hall were his lower-level officials before. The old man was upright all his life, but his prestige was very high in the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.

Although Pei Ji is now the leader of the three ministers, he was just a deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace. When he saw Yang Nong, he had to call him Old Yang. If Yang Nong ignored him, Pei Ji would just stare at him without any help.

Li Yuan is the emperor. When he sees Yang Nong on ordinary occasions, he will also call Mr. Yang to show respect.

After hearing Yang Nong's words, Li Yuan did not care about his questions, but ordered: "Come on, bring the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn."

Soon, each of the three eunuchs held a tray, and the whole plant of three new crops was placed in three large trays.

Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon chaise, was excited again when he saw the new crops again. He introduced himself, saying: "Old Yang, look, the first tray is sweet potatoes. One tree can grow more than ten kilograms, and one acre can plant at least two hundred plants, and the yield is absolutely more than two thousand kilograms. The second tray is potatoes. More than two thousand plants can be planted per acre. The average yield of more than two kilograms per plant is corn..."

Yang Nong saw the crops in the tray and looked at the fruits of several new crops. As a minister of the Ministry of Revenue who had been in the past many years, he had immediately estimated the yield as soon as he saw something. He could no longer control himself and walked over tremblingly. Then he came to the eunuch and weighed the sweet potatoes himself. He felt that the sweet potatoes were definitely more than ten kilograms. He walked over and weighed the potatoes...

After Yang Nong finished his calculations, he was shocked and he was trembling, saying to himself: "From the future, our people in the Central Plains will stay away from hunger!"

After talking to himself, Yang Nong trembled and shouted loudly: "Auspiciousness comes from the sky..."
