Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

"This fist-sized corn, I ate two and felt full, it can be used as a staple food."

"Although the taste is light, it has a unique fragrance!"

"This golden corn is full and sweet, not bad!"

Everyone nodded and shared their feelings after tasting it.

Cheng Yaojin ate potatoes without peeling the skin.

"Big pot, it's delicious, I want more!"

Little Sizi ate a corn and it was not enough.

"Little Sizi, this is corn, don't eat too much!"

Su Chen picked up a corn and broke it, put chopsticks on the big end and handed it to her.

"It's non-GMO, it should be okay for children to eat."

He ate the small end himself. He hadn't eaten boiled corn for a long time. Everyone also knew that this golden corn was corn.

...

"Su Chen, how is the yield of this corn?"

Li Shimin also loved to eat this corn. There was no real sugar in the Tang Dynasty, so it was rare to eat sweets.

For people who have just eaten corn, the sweetness will be infinitely magnified.

After Su Chen thought about it and calculated it into Tangjin, "Uncle, the corn yield is about 2,000 jin per mu."

"This corn has a wide range of uses. It can also be ground into cornmeal and made into pasta."

"When the planting area is expanded in the future, it can be used to feed chickens, ducks, and fish."

When everyone heard the yield of corn per mu, they were no longer as shocked as they were before the sweet potato.

Because they knew that as long as it was something that the national teacher took out, it would not be simple.

Li Shimin nodded and picked up a potato, "What is this, and how much is the yield per mu?"

Su Chen smiled, "This is a potato. This thing is amazing. The yield per mu is nearly 10,000 jin. It can be used as a dish or a substitute for staple food."

Hiss! Nearly 10,000 jin per mu? Everyone was still scared.

"Oh? Potatoes? Could it be that these potatoes grow in the soil?"

Li Shimin thought, it's good to grow in the soil, so there is no need to worry about locust plagues.

Su Chen smiled and nodded.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, "The one that grows in the soil is called potato? It doesn't sound good. '

"I feel that the name of potato is not elegant, how about calling it 'Zhenguan Bean'?"

He wanted to put some gold on his face and named it after his reign.

Su Chen didn't know that the curved plow was also changed to 'Zhenguan Plow' by the emperor.

Su Chen shook his head and said with a smile:

"Uncle, of course you can call it 'Zhenguan Bean', but there will be no such thing as Zhenguan soon."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it!

Dare to say this, are you stubborn? Don't want to die? This is a rebellion!

"If there is no such thing as Zhenguan, how can you say this?"

Although Li Shimin was surprised, he knew Su Chen and he would never rebel.

"Uncle, you will know soon."

Su Chen thought about it and thought it was unnecessary to tell them this.

Li Shimin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

…

Lunch time.

“Uncle Li, please pass on the fine salt to His Majesty Li Er.”

Sitting next to Su Chen, the little Sizi on Changle’s lap heard Su Chen say ‘His Majesty Li Er’.

She rolled her eyes, grabbed his arm, and looked at Su Chen very seriously:

“Big Pot, you can’t call me His Majesty Li Er, you have to call me father… woooo!”

Before she finished her words, Changle covered her mouth and glared at her.

When the little Sizi came, she had already agreed with her that she couldn’t talk to her father today, otherwise he wouldn’t take her out of the palace to play in the future.

Before Su Chen said Li Er or His Majesty, she didn’t care, and she didn’t know who Li Er was.

But when Li Er and His Majesty were called together, she knew it.

Su Chen didn’t understand, and smiled and teased her.

“Don’t worry, my dear nephew, I will personally pass it to His Majesty after I go to the palace to see the emperor today.”

Li Daoxuan assured Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded, "As long as Li Er sends his confidants to do what I said above, it will not be difficult to increase the national treasury by millions of strings of cash in less than ten days."

When Li Shimin heard this, millions of strings of cash in ten days?

"My socks have holes, but I can't bear to throw them away!"

Even if I can get half of that, he will wake up laughing in his dreams.

The man with the surname Dai is Dai Zhou, the Minister of Revenue.

When he heard millions of strings of cash in ten days, his eyes lit up instantly.

Su Chen smiled and continued:

"You don't know that Li Er is so poor that his socks have holes in them, but he still can't bear to throw them away, and he mends them and wears them again."

When these words came out, everyone present choked and coughed.

Li Shimin scratched his toes on the ground unconsciously.

Hiss! How did this matter get out?

…

“Big Pot, Little Dudu is very cute.”

After Changle let go of his hand, Little Sizi said to Su Chen again.

Su Chen didn’t understand and looked at Changle in confusion.

Changle smiled and said, “She saw the piglets you bought.”

“Yes, the piglets are very cute, especially roasted into a suckling pig, it is even more adorable. "

Thinking of the 108 ways to eat pork, Su Chen missed it very much.

Except for pig feces and pig hair, everything else on a pig can be eaten.

"Su Chen, what is a pig?"

Li Shimin and his friends had never heard of pigs, so they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Father, a pig is a '彘', and he bought 15 piglets."

Changle explained.

"Su Chen, 彘 is cheap meat that is hard to swallow, what do you buy it for?"

They all know the taste, and as long as they are not facing the risk of starving to death, the poor will not eat that cheap meat.

Besides, he, Su Chen, is such a picky person.

"In the smallest sense, pigs can add a few more dishes to the people's table, and in the largest sense, pork can strengthen the country."

'You don't know how to raise pigs. When my pigs are raised, I will make you greedy to death.'

"Su Chen, tell me in detail, and let me listen. "

Li Shimin was also invigorated after hearing what Su Chen said.

"In fact, pork is a rare delicacy, but the meat of uncastrated pigs is very hard and smelly, and it grows slowly."

"After castration, the pigs become docile, not moving, and only grow meat crazily.

There are many ways to eat it. Come to the farm in three months, and I will treat you to a whole pig banquet."

Everyone nodded, believing that Su Chen would not talk nonsense.

"Then tell me how pork can make the country strong."

Li Shimin continued to ask.

"The Tang Dynasty is not rich in cattle and sheep, and the price of beef and mutton is expensive. Ordinary people can't afford it, but pork is cheap! A few coins per pound, can't you eat meat?"

"Pork is rich in fat and has a strong effect on the human body. Have you noticed that most people in the Tang Dynasty are pale and thin, but the barbarians outside the territory are tall and strong because they eat a lot of meat. ”

“You can understand what I said, right?”

Su Chen stopped talking and let them think about it themselves.

Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others deeply understood what Su Chen said.

On the battlefield, two Tang soldiers were no match for the Turks, and they were strong.

“Okay, we must raise pigs, and the whole Tang Dynasty must raise pigs!”

Li Shimin shouted immediately.

“Manager Li, don’t get excited. Wait two or three months, and we will see the pigs raised by Su Chen. It’s not too late to talk about it.”

Fang Xuanling saw Li Shimin so excited and said immediately.

Li Shimin reacted and realized that he was too excited. You said that the whole Tang Dynasty should raise pigs, so let’s raise pigs!

Do you think you are the emperor?

“Haha, that’s right, that’s right. It’s not too late to talk about it after eating pork.”

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly.
