Chapter 454
After the emperor went downstairs to the ground and started to break corn, the farmers who had already prepared also began to break corn.
Soon, packs of corn were carried out, which caused a burst of surprise, and the old men's eyes were almost glaring out.
They lived to the age of almost falling into the soil, and this was the first time they had seen such a big rice grain with such a large ear!
How much grain does this acre of land produce?
I was so excited that the old men held the corn and looked like they were fucking. Su Cheng was very worried after seeing it, but don’t be too excited and really sucked it.
Good food, it’s really good food. When you go back, you will definitely ask the farmers in the farm to plant corn. Whoever doesn’t plant it will be a fool!
This is the voice of all the old people.
By the time Li Shimin walked out of the cornfield with a sweaty face, the corn outside had already piled up like mountains.
Although it was very hot and tired, and was itchy with corn thorns, Li Shimin still couldn't help laughing out loud because it was the joy of a good harvest.
Not only is the joy of harvest in this area, he seems to have seen a bumper harvest of countless corn fields next year!
Next year will be of great significance to the Tang Dynasty, because next year the rice yield will almost double and the corn will be harvested!
Su Cheng pretended to crawled out of the cornfield. Compared to the sweaty and embarrassing appearance of Li Tai and others, Su Cheng was still in the wind.
Li Shimin glanced at Su Cheng, but did not blame him. Today, no one was qualified to blame Su Cheng because Su Cheng made great contributions!
"Corn is really a treasure given to me by God! What a great food!" Li Shimin sighed sincerely.
Wei Zheng held a few huge corn and said excitedly: "The yield of corn is so large! With corn, the people no longer have to be afraid of being hungry!"
"Everyone crashed into a car and transported it to the grain warehouse. Be cautious and you must not lose any one. You will keep it for grain next year!" Li Shimin ordered.
Su Cheng's eyes turned and he smiled, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to let someone carry it with you one load at a time!"
Li Shimin wondered: "Oh? Could it be that corn likes to be carried by others and doesn't like to ride in a carriage?"
Su Cheng was speechless when he heard this. Does this sound like a good word?
"What I mean is to pick corn that can make the people more intuitively understand. When corn is promoted next year, the resistance will be smaller, and maybe everyone will actively plant it!" Su Cheng explained.
Wei Zheng nodded after hearing this and said, "What Su Cheng said makes sense. Although Your Majesty and ministers all think that corn is a high-yield grain, people who have never seen it will be skeptical based on rumors."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "It makes sense!"
Soldiers were walking on the road carrying heavy loads, with orange corn on the load, which became a wonder in Chang'an.
All the people on the roadside grew up in surprise.
"So big!"
"This is too big, right?"
"I've never seen such a big one!"
"Is this the legendary corn?"
"What a big rice!"
"Oh my God, there are such big rice ears in the world!"
"It's not only big, but also yellow!"
"Yes, it's so yellow, it looks so tempting!"
...
It is not as convincing as hearing it with your own eyes or seeing it.
I saw corn with my own eyes, and no matter who was conquered, I believed from the bottom of my heart that this was a good crop!
What's the thing? You ask if the corn is delicious?
Even the emperor and the empress love to eat but are reluctant to eat it. The emperor was guarding the army, and the Duke of Ankang County couldn't help but pick corn secretly. As a result, the emperor chased the palace with a musket and ran around. Do you think corn is not delicious?
Even if corn is not delicious, it is enough to fill your stomach! For poor people, being able to fill your stomach is the happiest thing!
Envoys from all over the country were crowded with people and wanted to see if corn was really as rich as the legendary ones.
When Princess Zhenzhu walked by with corn, she was shocked when she opened her mouth slightly and murmured: "It's so big! How could it be so big? Is it still rice? How can it be so big? It's so big? It's so beautiful and looks so delicious! Daxiang, can I buy some corn?"
However, Lu Dongzan had no time to pay attention to her because he was also shocked. Although he knew that since the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty attached so much importance to it, corn must be higher than millet and sorghum, but he did not expect it to be so high.
How could there be rice as big as rice ears in the world?
God is too partial, right?
I don’t know if they can grow corn in Tubo.
The rice in the south became two seasons a year, and the grain crops like corn appeared in the north. In the future, the Tang Dynasty was no longer afraid of shortage of food.
This is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, but for the countries around the Tang Dynasty, it is a bolt from the blue.
Goguryeo was shocked by Gao Zheng's look at the load of corn. He always wanted to know what corn looked like. Now he finally saw it, but he found that corn was far beyond his imagination.
At this moment, his heart was full of desire. If the Goguryeo people also planted corn, how many people would starve to death?
Gao Zheng swallowed a saliva, turned his gaze to Yuen Gai Suwen next to him, and asked, "Su Wen, what do you think when you see this corn?"
Yuan Gaisuwen said: "It is indeed a good grain that produces a lot of good products!"
Gao Zheng whispered: "Su Wen, do you have no idea of such a high-yield grain?"
Yuan Gaisuwen pondered: "Does Gao want to rob?"
Grab it? Gao Zheng was stunned. The cold sweat at noon was coming out. Are you scared of your life?
Thanks to the low voice just now, if it were louder, maybe everyone would have already landed on the ground now!
Gao Zhengzhen wanted to block Yuan Gaisuwen's mouth and whisper anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, it will be fatal!"
"Do you think, who gave the corn? Su Cheng, the Duke of Ankang County! You have a good relationship with the Duke of Ankang County. Maybe where can you get corn seeds from the Duke of Ankang County?" Gao Zheng lowered his voice hard.
"We Goguryeo is bitter and cold, and we have always lacked food. If we can bring corn to Goguryeo, the king will definitely reward us, and the poems and books will definitely praise us. This is a great achievement. Even if there are people in a thousand years, they will thank us. If you don't believe it, look at Su Cheng's status in the Tang Dynasty?"
I have to say that what Gao Zheng said makes sense. Corn will spread in the Tang Dynasty and will definitely spread to Goguryeo in a few years, but then the merits have nothing to do with them.
However, if you bring the corn seeds back to Goguryeo now, they will definitely be highly rewarded by the king and will be praised by the government and the people, and their success will be just around the corner!
This is an excellent opportunity. Yuan Gaisuwen nodded and said, "Mr. Gao is right. If you don't want to make good fortune and wealth, I will work hard for our Goguryeo people to no longer be hungry. Even if you beg hard, I will ask for corn seeds!"
