Chapter 156 Li Zhi is speechless and Luo Shui is in love

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Wu Zetian asked behind the curtain.

"Queen, see if I'm dazzled," Li Zhi handed in the memorial.

I didn't say much, but said that the prince had tested a piece of sorghum. The test was confirmed and asked very clearly. From the beginning, I was experimenting, including fertilizer, plant spacing, ridge fertilizer, and depth of ridges. The growth was different, and the yield was even different. All of these were written. This doesn't matter, mainly the following sentence, I chose a few ears, weighed it, and then I guessed that the yield of the three best-growing pieces of land may be between five and eight stones per mu. This is an approximate estimate, and the exact estimate is six or seven stones. Of course, they are all a group of steady people, after all, they have not been beaten, so the yield is a little vague.

"Six and seven stones," said the cunning mansion, and how many people who could match Wu Zetian were shocked.

The Tang Dynasty produced too high-yield fields, and the yield per mu of land could reach five stones. This high yield is also an individual case. Like these lands, it has many conditions for high yields, with good land and good water and good service. It may be that the amount of acres is relatively large. In addition, local officials need political achievements, which has exaggerated a little. In short, there are many water contents. Especially the land of military farming has the highest yield per mu. The fields are in areas with good water and soil in the border areas with very little planting, which is originally fertile soil. Then when measured by one mu, it may be two acres of land. But even this high yield is also the sum of the output of the two seasons, which can be decorated.

Everyone knows this. Although they know that some moisture is not too low, the output will not be too low. Otherwise, officials would not dare to do this. But the imperial village has nothing, and the measurement of the number of acres is very standard. What the prime ministers said was only the output of sorghum this season. Besides, they don’t need this output to embellish any political achievements. Even if it is embellished, it has nothing to do with them. It is the prince’s credit.

Wu Zetian suddenly thought of that cotton...

He handed out the memorial and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's probably not fake."

The ministers were all very surprised. What was the couple doing? Could it be that something happened to Li Xian and other princes? While speculating, Li Zhi had already handed over the memorial and said, "Look at it."

When I opened it, I saw that these ministers were rubbing their eyes. Sorasu was not the highest yield in grain. Besides, this is five to seven stones...

"Do you think it's true or not?"

Yan Liben replied: "I haven't taken it now, but I'm probably not wrong. Congratulations to Your Majesty, if this method is successful and promoted to the world, what will happen to Your Majesty?"

As for another effect of grain, it will make the hoarding merchants and the big merchants dare not hoard the goods again and neglect them together. However, this is also temporary. Increased grain production is a long-term solution. But this output still makes him anxious after a long time.

Li Zhi said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and invite the prince."

The memorial was not clear, and the son did not talk about this matter. It seemed that he heard from the guards that he had made a few sorghum outside Chang'an City, but Li Zhi didn't take it seriously at that time. Unexpectedly, another demon moth appeared.

Therefore, I have to ask my son.

The eunuch went to the East Palace and came back to report later, saying, "The crown prince went to the imperial village outside the city."

When Li Zhi heard about this, he said, "Don't do your job properly, do you want to be a farmer?"

The ministers slandered them in their hearts after hearing this. In fact, the crown prince also has bad things, such as getting closer to merchants, although it is for the country. Other places have done a good job, even much better than when His Majesty was the crown prince. You don’t let him deal with political affairs and have no amusement. If you don’t look at agriculture, what should you see? Besides, paying attention to agriculture is the foundation of the country.

But I was a little awakened. This high-yield land was made by an official, which was auspicious. But the son made it, which stolen his limelight. Besides, the Dayun Festival was delayed for a long time, first with a strong wind and then a severe drought. Finally, it started to rain a little, and the Xu Jingzong case happened again. After the handling, another shocking high-yield was to be held. No matter how the Dayun was held, the people would discuss the yield of sorghum or the Dayun.

Some ministers were also disgusted with Li Zhi's attitude, so Hao Chujun stood up. Of course, he would not say that your sick body might have met the Buddha of Tathagata that day. The wise prince is a good thing for the country. He said very tactfully, saying: "Your Majesty, I am very happy to hear that, not for high yields. The importance of the country is not about a great victory in the border achievements, not about the high yields of a piece of land. It is about the king's ability and successors. It is also during the Great Song Festival, and this news is suddenly passed on. I don't know what auspiciousness is, but this is the greatest auspiciousness, the gospel of our dynasty."

Li Zhi said to the eunuch, "Go outside the city and call the prince back."

The project is a bit big. Although the growth power of alfalfa is very strong, the quality of alfalfa will be directly determined by how much green feed will be obtained. There are also reeds, which cannot be burned with fire. You have to wait until the water level decreases in autumn, and then drain some water, along with the reed roots and mud, and carry them to the ashore. Otherwise, a large number of reeds will grow in the next year. It is still too early to make reeds, and alfalfa needs to be prepared. Not sowing, you need to remove all the weeds from several small hills and then open them to the sun. You have to plant some fruit trees, but the miscellaneous trees are useless, and you have to dig them out with roots.

Looking at the busy tenant farmers invited, Yao Yuanchong said, "It costs too much."

Li Wei’s transformation into treasure was made with money. Which family would be willing to spend so much money to level up these swamps?

"It took some cost, but the future income will have amazing returns. This swamp, plus the mudflats and hills, has a large area of ​​about six or seven hundred acres of land. Besides, the income is irrelevant, and I will not care about the income." Li Wei has never cared about the benefits in the fields unless gold can grow in the fields. He continued: "Just set an example and let the people of the world see that these are not wastelands. Snakes have the methods of swimming, fish and fish have their own methods, but swimming is better than not. Since ancient times, relying on the mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. It is equivalent to giving gifts from heaven, but I don't do it. If that happens, why do you need to cultivate? This is the same as farming. You cannot rely on the gifts from God. You must also transform things from the mountains and water around you!"

There is no profound truth, but it makes Yao Yuanchong and Ximen Chong think deeply.

But today, he only brought two of their staff members, which made Zhu Jingze annoyed, so he chose to go on duty. In order to wait for someone to come, he was about to come and the time for the wedding. The court did not make any noise and did not issue an order, but everyone knew that the Crown Princess had given up. After all, he once regarded her as her fiancée, and was somewhat concerned. So he asked her to come out to comfort her.

After a while the carriage arrived, Yang Min walked down wearing Luo.

Li Wei was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't care, mainly because he was afraid of causing trouble for Yang Min again, so he led her to the Luo River. Sitting on the stone by the river, it was very quiet around, and only Luo River came and went on a boat. Li Wei asked, "How are you doing lately?"

"It's okay." replied in a low voice.

"Pick off the sage."

"Here."

Luo took it off and lost weight a little more. Obviously, it was not okay. Li Wei said: "Sit closer."

"Yes." Sitting next to Li Wei.

Li Wei said: "I've lost weight again."

"Yeah," but my eyes turned red, and I thought about it for a while and said, "Actually, I have thought a lot during this period. I still have done something bad before and can't blame others."

"The hardest thing in the world is the medicine for regret. But it is done and things come out and need remedies."

Yang Min shook her head.

This matter was not enough for her to make up for it, nor was it enough for the prince to say it. It was enough for the emperor to talk to the queen. Moreover, public opinion was like this, and even the emperor and the queen could not say it.

Li Wei said again: "Many things in the world cannot be done by manpower, but as long as you are strong and hard-working, there are many things that manpower can do. Therefore, I called you to come for this purpose."

"Your Highness, don't worry about me anymore. Your Highness should put yourself first. You are the future of the country."

Well, I started to think about the other party and made some progress. So I said: "The future of the country is still far away. I care about you, not only care about you, but also about yourself."

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

“Do you know what happiness is?”

Yang Min shook her head.

"Happiness does not necessarily mean how well you wear, eat, and live. Sometimes seeing a painting, a piece of writing, or getting someone else's, is also happiness because of your hobbies. Sometimes seeing family members and relatives showing happy smiles is also a kind of happiness, even if you suffer a lot for this smile. Just like Bier, she doesn't care, but when she sees loneliness, she becomes happy. If she is not happy, she is unhappy. Therefore, loneliness attaches great importance to it."

Yang Min thought about it and said after a while: "Your Highness, I can do it too, but now..."

This comes from the heart, and Yang Min may not be able to do it, but gradually improving is much better than meeting him. He said: "You haven't understood what Gu said yet. In Gu's heart, you are Gu's person. Gu cares about you and you are also caring about yourself."

"Your Highness..."

"Don't cry. Gu told you that day in the carriage. Gu wanted to see you laugh every day, not cry."

"Your Highness..."

"I called you to come because the court did not make any noise when it was the wedding day and was afraid that you would worry, so I comforted you. But the matter was not the wedding day. If you don't understand, your father might understand a little." It was not like this or that, it was just a simple marriage. But there were too many things that happened, not just marriage, but also involves your relationship with your parents, but also the support, public opinion, and political struggles of officials. He also said: "I thought about it when I came. If you were determined to be the crown princess, I would be powerless."

"I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be with the prince."

"That's easy. When you go back, tell your mother, just say that you are the orphan. You should not be too snobbish in your work. The mother's queen can't hide anything. Go back to Xijing. Before you go back, write a letter of apologizing to your mother. Everyone has compassion." You have never been jealous of Yang Min. If you ask him to choose the Crown Princess, you will undoubtedly choose Yang Min. After all, you have some feelings. But you have never had a good impression of her mother. After a pause, you said, "If you don't ask for it, please ask your uncle, Mr. Yang, to write it on your behalf. He will understand. It's not possible. If you wait for the orphan in Jingzhao, you will have a chance to find a good opportunity in the future."

As he said that, he took Yang Min's hand over, closed his palm, stared at her and said, "This is a promise from me."

"Yeah." After hearing this, a frightened face finally calmed down.

He put down his hand and said, "Also, Yang Min, everyone has their own difficulties. Sometimes, Gu is more difficult than all of you think, and he is actually very depressed. Come on, roar with Gu."

As he said that, he roared at Luoshui.

Yang Min finally giggled, but scared the guards in the distance. He didn't know what happened, so he pulled out the sword and rushed over. With this, Li Wei was very depressed. Unless he was in the bedroom, he would almost lose his personal freedom anywhere. He waved his hand and said, "I'll say a few words here, you can avoid it."

But the guard was not relieved. This time he was very close. He was helpless and whispered to Yang Min: "Do you still remember the poem I wrote? If the two loves are long, how can they be together day and night?"

"Um."

"Then let's go back."

"Um."

Just as he was about to send Yang Min into the car, the eunuch ran over on a horse and shouted from a distance: "Your Highness, Your Majesty summons you to the palace."

"What's the matter?" asked casually.

"It's sorghum."

When he heard sorghum, even Yang Min erected his ears on the carriage. The sorghum was very good, but it seemed that it was not time to harvest.

“Sorghum?”

"Yes," the eunuch turned over and got off the horse, with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know much about farming. He asked him how much the harvest of sorghum in the Tang Dynasty was in the season. He definitely didn't know, but this yield surprised him so much.

"What's wrong with sorghum?"

Yao Yuanchong and Ximen Chong also came closer to listen. After all, the prince spent a lot of effort during this period, just turning the waste into treasure. Not mentioning the treasure, it was for the farming work. He also knew that the sorghum was very good, but it actually alarmed the two emperors, and he was very puzzled.

“There is a great harvest of sorghum.”

"The sorghum can't be cut now," Li Wei was a little anxious. It was a model. Now, there is no full rice when it is cut. If you can eat it, the yield will be greatly reduced. I am still ignorant and afraid of reducing production.

"No, Your Highness, because he is good-looking, he alarmed several husbands in Xijing. They arrived at the field, sucked a few ears, weighed them, and then estimated the yield."

"You just make it clear, so how much will it be?" asked in anticipation. Three or four stones shouldn't matter.

"Several husbands wrote memorials and estimated that the three best-growing pieces of land can reach six or seven stones per mu, but after all, they are not mature and there may be some errors, but the low will not be less than five stones, and the high will not be higher than eight stones."

"What?" Not only Li Wei was calling alone, but Yao Yuanchong was calling together. Then Li Wei sat down and said, "It's over, it's over, I thought that one acre of land could produce three or four stones, at most four stones, how could it grow so much?"
