The First Family of Tang Dynasty

However, it looked like Fang Qing's appearance when she was young, um... so, it must be her own.

When Cheng Ji led a kitchen staff to arrive with food, Li Shimin finally wandered back.

The fresh rice smells of a delicate fragrance, no matter who it is, you can eat the rice just harvested like this.

I can't help but eat more. Coupled with delicious dishes made by the culinary skills of the old Cheng family.

Li Shimin chewed a piece of twice-cooked pork happily, and asked Cheng Chubi.

"Chu Bixian nephew, you can successfully try to grow rice in Chang'an. In your opinion, is it feasible to promote rice cultivation in Guanzhong?"

"Uncle, my nephew thinks that this rice consumes too much water. If it's Guanzhong, it's okay to grow it in Chang'an."

"If it is a large-scale promotion, I am afraid that water consumption alone will be a big problem. Besides, my nephew uses three-season rice for trial planting."

"It has a very short growth period, so that it can be harvested smoothly. If it is other rice seeds, my nephew can't guarantee it."

Not only was Li Shimin not annoyed, but on the contrary nodded with approval.

"This statement is very reasonable. The old man had thoughts before, but although the Guanzhong area is fertile, it is still rich in water, that is, around Chang'an."

Next, while having a meal and chatting, Li Shimin also asked in detail about Cheng Chubi during the trial planting of three-season rice.

The new methods applied, whether it is soaking seeds in lime water, or accelerating germination with heat preservation, or rushing to spend time.

Cheng Chubi also explained that these methods are actually very simple and not complicated, so there will definitely be no problems in promotion.

The important thing is that it can also increase production and income. If it can be promoted earlier, it will be able to gain early benefits.

Li Shimin also had to admit that Cheng Chubi's words were old-fashioned for seeking the country. After he was full, Li Shimin put aside his bowl and chopsticks.

"My nephew, you have made many good plans for the success of the pilot planting of rice, and for the farming output of the people..."

"You will be rewarded for what you have done, and you will be punished if you have done it. This time, the old man would like to ask you, I don't know what do you want?"

Hearing this, the sound of eating and drinking in the room stopped for an instant, and everyone turned their eyes on Cheng Chubi.

Li Ke almost spoke out for Cheng Chubi, money, bright copper coins, or heavy silk.

But Cheng Chubi didn't think so. After all, he wasn't short of money for the time being, and now his vision had been relaxed.

Everyone started to engage in pepper plantations and began to prepare for international trade.

With the wealth gifted by Uncle Li, Cheng Chubi feels that in his current position, well...

Of course, I don't think of money as dung, but I think I should consider the kind of university I built.

Think about it, how did the famous universities of later generations come from? Teaching quality is one of the key factors.

But there is another very critical factor, and that is propaganda.

Now my own university has been established for some days, although the students are still working hard and have not yet achieved any results.

How should it become famous? Cheng Chubi, the president of Chengs University, respectfully saluted Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Uncle, what my nephew needs is very simple. I hope that your Majesty will reward me Cheng University for helping the people of the world cultivate the fields..."

"..." The eyes of everyone in the room fell on Cheng Chubi's body.

A meaningful smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, as if he understood Cheng Chubi's intentions.

"Well, since your nephew has such thoughts, there is no reason for the old man to be perfect."

"Looking back, the old man will personally give you a plaque to this Chengshi University. Besides, you are allowed to be in the "Chang'an Xunbao"."

"Propaganda I commend Cheng's University for the rice planting experiment, and present the news of a good strategy to increase rice production and income..."

Cheng Chubi couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to his Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty respectfully.

"Your Majesty Shengming, We Minister thank you for commending the teachers and students of this school."

The emperor of Tang slapped his **** contentedly. Before leaving, he also took away one stone for three crops of rice.

He said that the new rice tasted good, and he was going to let the queen and Princess Jinyang also taste it.

As his Royal Highness, Li Chengqian could only follow his father's steps and return to Chang'an.

Cheng Chubi gave Li Chengqian a relieved look. If you can't buy it today, you can buy it tomorrow. Is it possible that you can still meet your father every day?

Cheng Chubi didn't know his farming methods, especially the methods of driving flowers, soaking seeds, and heat preservation and accelerating germination.

In the afternoon, Kuaima had already left Chang'an City, and after leaving Tongguan, he went all the way south.

One goal is Jiangnan, and the other is the Lingnan lands and Jiaozhou Dudu Mansion.

In the east of Chang'an city, it followed the Bashui River down the river, about 30 miles, and then landed on the east bank, where there was once a quarry.

When Chang'an City was built in the previous dynasty, a considerable part of the stone was mined here.

After entering the Tang Dynasty, the good stones in this quarry were almost mined, and the place was naturally abandoned.

The masons who originally lived nearby have also moved to other places. There are no people in this area for ten miles.

Only occasionally do woodmakers come here to gather some firewood.

Today, more than ten miles around the quarry ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, you can see those elite Datang soldiers who are tightly controlling the mountains.

And Li Shimin is now walking slowly with a group of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty.

As for Cheng Chubi and Li Chengguang, they arrived here half an hour in advance to charge.

The reason for this is naturally to ensure safety and reliability.

Cheng Chubi, the King of Firearms of the Tang Dynasty, who has been making firecrackers and fireworks for many years, is personally in charge of charging matters.

Not far from the side, there are ten Zhuce grenade filled with gunpowder and fuse, five each on the 2nd and 3rd.

At this moment, he was charging two mines, No. 15 and No. 20, and waited until the charging was completed.

Cheng Chubi considered it for a long time, but finally did not install the flint ignition device.

The thing should wait until it reaches the test site before installing it, otherwise it will be completely wiped out.

Uncertainty will become the first unlucky ghost in the history of travel to kill himself because of his self-made flammable late-explosive items.

After Cheng Chubi had filled both mines with gunpowder, the preliminary work was done.

Li Chengguang saw Cheng Chubi let out a long breath of relief and stood up, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Cheng Taichang, do you want General Liu Lang to report to General Chai?"

Cheng Chubi's eyes swept across the open land, and both sides of the hillsides had been mined, exposing mottled rocks.

In the center, there is an open space about the size of a football field, with only a few sparse plants.

"No, wait a minute."

"???"
