Chapter 53 Mother, why don’t you become angry?



"Aye, what's wrong with you?"

"Isn't it good to tie potatoes?"

"If you don't wear a seven-stringed turban, there's still corn in there."

Seeing his father's face flushed, he just stood there in amazement.

The little princess quickly picked up another piece of corn and handed it to him.

"Corn? Is this also what the young master eats?"

Seeing that it was something he had never seen before, Li Shimin, who was originally in a daze, took the corn and started to eat it as if it was snatching it.

The taste is sweet and seems to be good.

It is another rare delicacy.

Thinking this in his heart, he immediately looked at Li Lizhi with anticipation.

"Young Master said that this plant yields a thousand kilograms per mu in their area, but in the Tang Dynasty, it only yields three or four hundred kilograms."

Knowing what her father wanted to ask, Li Lizhi didn't hesitate at all and directly told the corn yield.

With the example of an acre of potatoes producing 10,000 kilograms, Li Shimin actually had such a thought when he heard his daughter introduce the corn yield.

Seeing her husband's disappointed expression, Empress Changsun couldn't help but say in a tone of irritation, "A yield of three or four hundred kilograms is considered high in the Tang Dynasty. With these two things, why worry about a prosperous era?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly understood and then began to rub his hands excitedly.

As an emperor who ascended the throne by killing his brother and forcing his father to take the throne, Li Shimin dreamed of proving himself.

Now that a prosperous era is in sight, how can he not be excited?

"Mother, these are sweet potatoes. They are sweet, soft and sticky, and very delicious."

Just as Li Shimin was chewing corn excitedly, the little kid took out a piece of sweet potato and placed it in front of Empress Changsun.

Seeing that this was another kind of food he had never seen before, Li Shimin immediately looked at Li Lizhi with a curious look.

"The young master said that the yield of sweet potatoes is about the same as that of potatoes, but they are not as durable in storage, and eating too much will cause bloating."

Li Lizhi briefly introduced the information about sweet potatoes, but she didn't notice that Princess Chengyang next to her had already blushed.

If we talk about who ate the most sweet potatoes, it was of course Princess Chengyang, who was fed by Zhou Yu and Li Lizhi in succession.

With the mentality of not wasting food, she ate two of them.

Although I am not experiencing bloating now, I can't resist the psychological effect.

"This thing...will cause bloating."

Empress Changsun, who was being fed by her youngest daughter, was eating happily with a look of joy on her face.

When she heard Li Lizhi's story, she was stunned on the spot with a confused look on her face.

On the one hand, there was the eagerly expectant gaze of his little daughter.

On the other hand, she was worried that if bloating really occurred, she would lose her dignity as the queen.

"Mother, why aren't you seven?"

Seeing her mother, who was eating happily, suddenly stop, the little princess couldn't help but raise her head with a puzzled look.

"This sweet potato is delicious. Mother wants to save it for Sizi."

Empress Changsun thought she was very clever and this reason was perfect.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the little princess said seriously, "It's already past seven. Little Neng said that more than seven is not good for the stomach."

Empress Changsun: ...

"Come, Sizi, let Aye have a taste."

Li Shimin didn't care whether eating too much would cause bloating.

After all, if it is a magical thing that can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu, what's wrong with having some shortcomings?

As he said this, he took the sweet potato and took a big bite.

Then, he narrowed his eyes with a look of enjoyment.

Sweet and soft, it is simply a delicacy.

Compared to her husband's excitement, Empress Changsun was much calmer.

Thinking of his daughter's solemn expression when she just entered the room, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Lizhi, did these things bring back any seeds?"

"Yes, seeds. Did you bring any seeds back this time?"

Li Shimin suddenly came back to his senses, and then looked at Li Lizhi anxiously.

"This is a sweet potato vine. The young master said it will take root if you stick it in the soil."

Li Lizhi carefully took out a green plant.

If his father does not agree to Zhou Yu's conditions, this sweet potato vine may be the only hope for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

"What about potatoes and corn?"

Seeing that Li Lizhi only took out sweet potato vines and nothing else, Li Shimin suddenly became a little nervous.

These crops are the key to creating the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

It’s okay if you don’t know.

Now that I have seen it, if I can’t get the seeds, wouldn’t it drive me crazy?

"The young master said he had a condition..."

Li Lizhi already knew that Aye would ask.

He looked at the little princess with a complicated expression, and then explained Zhou Yu's conditions in detail.

"They actually want me to use Sizi's name to promote these crops?"

Li Shimin felt that his brain was a little confused.

He glanced at his heartless little daughter with a complicated expression, and then he vaguely guessed Zhou Yu's intention.

"Little Nengjun said he didn't want to be a saint because the saint died quickly."

Just as Li Shimin was frowning in thought, the little kid next to him suddenly added something.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin frowned in confusion.

Our Lady?

Is it some kind of religious sect?

When the other party said that he would not be a saint, was he promising himself that he would not bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty?

"Father, what the young master meant is that the life and death of the people of the Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with him."

Seeing that her father didn't seem to understand Zhou Yu's meaning, Li Lizhi had no choice but to explain.

When Li Shimin heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
