The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 992: Your special mother actually told me that the rice has been harvested?

With little effort, Li Jing hurried out of the house. At this moment, the carriage was ready at the door.

After Li Jing and the dying messenger boarded the carriage together, they urged.

The carriage galloped up quickly and headed towards the palace...

At this moment, Li Shimin is sitting in the Ganlu Hall, Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, Ma Zhou and others are also here to tell Li Shimin the situation of spring ploughing in the Tang Dynasty.

"Since this spring, the rainfall in Guanzhong, Jinyang, and Zhuozhou has been significantly less than in previous years, which is very detrimental to spring plowing."

"A total of more than 70 counties in fifteen states, 340,000 households and more than 2 million people are involved."

"And Jiangnan..."

Listening to Fang Xuanling and others' reports, Li Shimin's face became more solemn, and after pondering for a long time, he said solemnly.

"It is best to raise money for disaster relief in various places in advance to avoid causing civil chaos. If it is not enough, it can be transferred from Chang'an and Luoyang Zhucang."

"As for the original conquest of Gao Changguo, we will put it aside for the time being, and first focus on comforting the people's livelihood."

"Your Majesty Shengming..." Several ministers and workers all bowed to the ground and saluted this wise and wise, the Great Tang hero who loves the people like a child.

Li Shimin couldn't help smiling bitterly and waved his hand.

"Oh...I have no choice but to let the Gaochang Xiao Wentai child be more arrogant for a few more days."

"It's a pity. Although I am rich in the world, Datang has always suffered from food shortages every year. Now the court supervises agricultural affairs, but the yield per mu is hard to grow."

Hearing Li Shimin's complaint, Fang Xuanling and others were also somewhat helpless, but also helpless.

After all, the increase in yield per mu can't solve this problem by turning over their mouths.

Nowadays, the most important thing in all the states and counties of Datang is to ensure spring ploughing. However, since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the output per mu, the amount of the previous dynasty, the original dynasty.

The people rely on food as the sky and grow food. This is the country's major government, since the past dynasties.

I don't know how many officials and talented people who are familiar with agricultural affairs are racking their brains to find ways to increase production and income, but they have little effect.

What's more, when the natural disasters came, nothing happened. Over the past 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, things have happened from time to time.

Fortunately, the imperial court was able to allocate money and food in a timely manner, so that civil revolts could be avoided.

But even so, there will still be a large number of people whose families are destroyed and displaced due to disasters.

An **** appeared to step into the Temple of Ganlu recklessly, and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, whose brows were already frowning, with sincerity and trepidation.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent matter for the Lord Wei Guo. I beg to see your Majesty. It is said that there is great news from Jiaozhou Dudu Mansion."

"The great news from Jiaozhou Dudu's Mansion?" Several important ministers couldn't help but force the ground to look at each other a little bit.

The first reaction is that nine out of ten, the Jiaozhou captain pinched a fight with someone and won...

Yu Shinan stroked his long beard, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered towards the horse on the side.

"The old man remembers that Gu Da, the governor of Jiaozhou, seems to be Li Weigong's old subordinate."

"It seems that it should be my Datang Wuben who has made new contributions again..." Ma Zhou shook his head with some dumbfounding.

Li Shimin listened to the discussions of these important ministers, and it was undeniable that he also thought the same way.

"Hurry up, please... I also want to know what kind of good news is."

Li Jing took a deep breath, and glanced at the messenger who was standing next to him and looked nervous.

He calmed him with a mellow expression, and saw Zhao Kun strode to the outside of the hall and salute him.

"At the end, see Duke Wei, your majesty would you please..."

Li Jing slightly nodded towards Zhao Kun, leading the messenger into a stride.

Entering the hall, after nodding towards Yu, Fang, and Ma, he respectfully salutes his Majesty.

Li Shimin, who got up and bypassed the case, was held back. "Qing doesn't need to be polite. I don't know what kind of good news came from Jiaozhou?"

"Your Majesty, the 400-mu three-season rice line of Jiaozhou Dudu's Mansion will be harvested in mid-February.

Jiaozhou Governor Gu Da, the special order sent me a memorial of the Annunciation, as well as the rice and ears of rice that were just harvested..."

Fang Xuanchi, Ma Zhou, and Yu Shinan, who were still communicating in a low voice, seemed to have pressed the pause button.

The smile on Li Shimin's face also seemed to be petrified, and he stared at Li Jing in front of him motionless.

Seeing how these people looked like this, Li Jing turned his head and looked at the messenger.

"Don't take out the three-season rice ears and rice that Governor Gu asked you to dedicate to your majesty..."

The messenger, who had been leaning on the ground and dared not move a little, heard this, and hurriedly opened the long wooden box.

A few golden rice ears and two catties of golden rice were exposed in the eyes of the emperor of Tang Dynasty and several important officials.

"Mid February..." Fang Xuanling's eyes looked straight at the golden rice.

I always felt that I had auditory hallucinations. In mid-February, the willow tree had just sprouted, okay?

This is the spring when everything is resurrected. Your special mother actually told me that the rice has been harvested?

Li Shimin took the memorial handed over by Li Jing and looked at it carefully from beginning to end, but he still couldn't believe it and shook his head.

"In February, you will be able to gain something..."

"Brother Yao, what's the name of this kind of rice?"

Li Jing looked at the monarchs and ministers who had not recovered from their crooked eyes, and couldn't help adding a little surprise to them.

"This rice ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is called three season rice, which means that this kind of rice can be harvested three seasons a year."

"One year! Three seasons!" Ma Zhou's eyes bulged, one finger on his right hand and three fingers on his left.

Looking straight at Li Jing like this, Li Jing nodded and pointed to the Annunciation memorial that was still held by Li Shimin.

"The governor of Jiaozhou, Gu Da, has written clearly. Isn't he still daring to deceive the king for such a major event?"

#####

"One year, three seasons...God is here, is the old man confused?"

Yu Shinan held his heart, his face turned pale.

Ma Zhou on the side was shocked. "Old Yu, are you okay with Old Yu?"

The elderly Yu Laoqing's family took a few deep breaths, his face was slightly ruddy, and his energy eased.

"Your Majesty, can rice really mature three times a year?"

Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief. Seeing what he looked like, he really didn't know what to say.

"...Old Yu's family, don't be too excited."

After experiencing the dangerous moment when he almost fainted because of his joy, Li Shimin sat behind the case a few times.

He stared at Li Jing scorchingly, seeing Li Jing uncomfortable, and a very bright smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"Li Lao Aiqing, why would Ru Erlang want to go to Linyi to find rice seeds?"

Li Jing met His Majesty's surprisingly bright eyes and could only answer with a hardened scalp.

"This matter has to start with the Qingtian talk between Inuzi and Cheng Saburo..."

"???"
