Li Xiu picked a sweet potato with a large vine, raised his hoe and hoeed it down the land around the sweet potato. After cleaning up the surrounding soil, he hoeed the sweet potato hard. As a result, as a large piece of soil was taken out, a few sweet potatoes as big as fists were embedded in the soil. Li Xiu squatted down and shook the soil off, revealing the sweet potatoes of all sizes inside. After weighing them, it was definitely more than ten kilograms.

"It's so heavy! Father, come and see!" At this moment, Princess Pingyang also shouted in surprise, and saw a bunch of heavy sweet potatoes in her hand, which looked bigger and heavier than those in Li Xiu's hand. No wonder she was so happy.

"This... is this a sweet potato?" Li Yuan was also shocked when he saw the true face of the sweet potato. He did not expect that such heavy rhizomes would grow under the thin vines, which was simply incredible.

"This sweet potato has more than ten kilograms. Based on the yield of one acre of land, it is at least more than three thousand kilograms!" Li Xiu weighed the sweet potato in his hand, and then said with a smile. Although he had known that the yield of sweet potatoes was very high, he was not completely relieved until after harvesting it himself.

"Three thousand jin! How is this possible?" Li Yuan said in shock again at this time. Then he no longer cared about his identity and etiquette. He picked up the hoe himself. However, when he dug out a sweet potato himself, he found that the size of the sweet potato was comparable to that of Princess Pingyang's hand. As a result, he walked forward a few steps again, and then dug out one from the ground, which was also about ten jin.

"Really! It's really true! There is really a thousand kilograms of grain in this world! God bless me, the Tang Dynasty! God bless me, the Tang Dynasty! Hahahaha" Li Yuan held the sweet potato in his hand and laughed to the sky. His long beard trembled with his laughter, and he could even see his back teeth from Li Xiu's perspective.

After a while, Li Yuan woke up from his ecstasy. He looked at Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang with an excited expression and said, "Pingyang, Li Xiu, you can grow a crop like sweet potatoes to save the people from water and fire. I... I am very pleased!"

At the end, Li Yuan didn't know how to describe his excitement, but he paused for a moment and could only express it in the words "comfort". Seeing his excited face turned red, it made people really worried that if he was too excited, he caused a heart attack. Unfortunately, Li Xiu waited for a long time and did not see Li Yuan getting sick, which was really a pity.

Seeing that Li Yuan did not have a sudden heart disease, Li Xiu was a little dissatisfied at the moment, so he decided to pour a cold water on him and said: "Your Majesty, this per mu yield is actually just heavy wet. Sweet potatoes contain too much water, more than half of it is water. If you dry it, the per mu yield may be about a per mu!"

"Haha, it's okay, Qianjin is amazing. How many sweet potatoes are there now? When will it be promoted?" Li Yuan said without caring. In his opinion, the yield of thousands of pounds per mu is beyond common sense. As for thousands or tens of thousands of pounds, he had never even thought about it.

"Father, there are not many sweet potatoes, and these are all in front of you. However, sweet potatoes can be planted. After cutting off these sweet potato vines in front of you, they can be planted on the ground and watered them. However, I am afraid that they will not grow for another season before winter. If it really doesn't work, I will free up all the greenhouses and specialize in breeding these sweet potatoes. Try to get more sweet potato vines next year!" Princess Pingyang said at the end, and also showed a determined look. After seeing the yield of these sweet potatoes with her own eyes, she has decided to promote sweet potatoes as soon as possible even at the cost of paying.

"Okay, okay, among my children, there are the most successful people in Pingyang. When the army started, only you and Jiancheng, Shimin had the ability to lead troops. It can be said that the world was defeated by you and the three of you. Unfortunately, Jiancheng and Shimin are fighting every day and do not understand the difficulties of being a father at all. Only Pingyang, you, daughter, really want to help solve the problems of your father!" Li Yuan heard Princess Pingyang's words, and couldn't help but sigh again. It was said that his daughter was the father's caring little fur coat, and now he finally realized it.

Seeing Li Yuan's excited look, Li Xiu felt that this was an opportunity, and immediately spoke to Li Yuan: "Report to Your Majesty, the advantages of sweet potatoes have been mentioned just now. Moreover, sweet potatoes are native to the extremely distant America. It was after the princess heard that, so she asked the bearded guest to travel thousands of miles to the Americas and finally took the sweet potato back. This merit is no less than that of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. The reason why the princess did this was to share his worries for His Majesty, so please understand His Majesty!"

Li Xiu pushed all the credit on Princess Pingyang, and although the following words did not state clearly, he was actually reminding Li Yuan that Princess Pingyang had made such a great credit and could not forget the reward.

Li Yuan naturally also heard what Li Xiu meant. He was in a good mood at this time. He smiled and turned to Princess Pingyang and said, "Li Xiu said it right. Pingyang, you have made such a contribution. Naturally, I will not be stingy with rewards for your father. I will never refuse what you say you want!"

Hearing her father say this, and Li Xiu also looked at her with encouraging eyes, which made Princess Pingyang finally pluck up the courage. She then stepped forward and knelt in front of Li Yuan, which shocked Li Yuan. Just as she was about to help her get up, she saw Princess Pingyang say: "Father, my daughter has no other requests, only ask for the father's favor!"

When Li Yuan saw Princess Pingyang's solemn appearance, he couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart. He had already guessed what she was asking for and said in a deep voice: "Pingyang, you have to think it through before you can talk about it!"

"Your father, my daughter has figured it out. As early as when Chai Shao left her daughter and ran away alone, I had already cut off all relations with him. Later, it was only for various reasons that I could not formally terminate the marriage between the two parties. This is not a good thing for us, so my daughter now wants to beg her father to allow her daughter to divorce Chai Shao!"

Princess Pingyang said with a firm expression at this time. Although she also heard the warning in her father's words, don't forget that she is not an ordinary woman, and she is not afraid of thousands of troops, not to mention the warning in her father's words. As long as she makes up her mind, no one can change it.

When Li Yuan heard that Princess Pingyang finally raised the request for termination of the marriage, he couldn't help but show a tangled expression on his face. As a father, he also hoped that his daughter could have a happy marriage, but as an emperor, he had to consider the stability of the court.

Although the Tang Dynasty seems to be in a prosperous scene now, it is actually controlled by various aristocratic families. These aristocratic families do not show off on the surface, but in fact they control all aspects of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, all walks of life in Chang'an City, such as grain, cloth and other important industries, are under the leadership of some aristocratic families. As for the officials in the court, this is even more true. More than 90% of the officials have the shadow of aristocratic families, and the Chai family is a key piece for him to win over the aristocratic families, so Li Yuan does not want to have a quarrel with the Chai family now.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yuan's expression on his face was always very entangled. He wanted to reject Princess Pingyang, but he felt sorry for his daughter. What's more, she has made such a great contribution now. If she does not reward her, it may be difficult to convince the public. But if he agrees, he is worried that he will break up with the Chai family, which will lead to his plan to win over and divide the family.

After a long time, Li Yuan suddenly looked up and said to Princess Pingyang in a heavy tone: "Pingyang, this matter is of great importance, and I am not prepared for my father at all, so you give me some time and I have to think about it before I can give you a reply!"

When Princess Pingyang heard Li Yuan's words, her face changed, and her eyes were like a stagnant water, which made people feel a little scared when they looked at it. Then she said nothing and retreated silently. When Li Yuan saw Princess Pingyang's appearance, she wanted to speak several times but still said nothing. Then she suddenly sighed, turned and left, and she didn't even have time to pay attention to the sweet potato that she had just regarded as a treasure.

Li Xiu next to him felt distressed and confused when he saw Princess Pingyang's appearance. He hurriedly walked over to support her and said, "Princess, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty just said he wanted to consider it, but he didn't explicitly refuse. Why are you..."

"Haha, it's useless. You don't understand your father's character. If he agrees, he will tell me just now, but if he thinks about it, he will definitely not agree to this matter!" Before Li Xiu finished speaking, Princess Pingyang interrupted weakly, and as she said that she also had two lines of crystal tears. She didn't expect that after working hard for so long, she was rejected by her father. Could it be that she would never be able to escape from this cursed marriage in her life?

"Why is this happening?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and then his brows frowned tightly. With Princess Pingyang's understanding of Li Yuan, she would definitely not make any mistakes. Moreover, judging from Li Yuan's final performance just now, it did not seem like he agreed. Could it be that Princess Pingyang really has no hope of resolute marriage?

"No, we still have a chance!" Li Xiu suddenly took a long breath at this time and cheered up his spirits and spoke. In fact, he had a complete plan to present sweet potatoes, but Li Yuan suddenly appeared today, which disrupted his plan. Now that Li Yuan disagreed, he could only use his original plan, and hope it would be time.

"What opportunity? My father has decided. Can you still let him change it?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but regain a little bit of his spirit when she heard Li Xiu's words, but then she dimmed again.

"Of course there is a way to make Your Majesty change, but you must be quick. You can't give your Majesty any time to prepare, otherwise the effect will not be achieved!" Li Xiu's eyes flashed with a little bit of brilliance. At this time, his mind was also turning rapidly, considering every step of implementing his plan. He had enough time to prepare for this matter, but now he has no time, and sometimes he can only take a gamble!

"Is there really a way? What should we do?" Hearing Li Xiu's confidence in his words, Princess Pingyang finally woke up from the dead. This was her last chance and she would never give up anyway.

"Haha, it's actually very simple. We just need to do this..." Li Xiu immediately leaned into Princess Pingyang's ear and whispered his plan. Princess Pingyang frowned and was worried after hearing this, but in the end he was a little worried, "Is it really good for us to do this? What if the father still disagrees?"

"Hehe, princess, don't worry, the emperor's power is not without any restrictions, but this matter requires the help of the King of Qin. He happened to be drunk with my uncle. Now I will go to him. As long as I convince him, we will be half successful!" Li Xiu said confidently again, convincing Li Shimin was absolutely sure. At worst, he could agree to help him with a few ideas so that he could temporarily regain some situation. In addition, the deep sibling relationship between Li Shimin and Princess Pingyang, he did not believe that Li Shimin would disagree.

Seeing Li Xiu so confident, Princess Pingyang felt like she had a backbone all of a sudden. Even for the first time in so many years, she felt that there was a good feeling that someone was relying on her. At least when she was desperate and helpless, there was another man who could help her support the sky!

Time was tight, and Li Xiu was anxious to see Li Shimin, and he had other things to do next, so after comforting Princess Pingyang again, she immediately stood up and said goodbye. Princess Pingyang calmed down at this time and sent him away in person. However, when Li Xiu's background had disappeared, she still stood by the river for a long time and refused to go back.

Li Shimin drank a lot of wine in the morning. When Li Xiu came to the bearded Hakka, he was still sleeping soundly in the guest room. However, Li Xiu had no time to wait for him at this time. He immediately rushed into the guest room and pulled Li Shimin up on the bed. As a result, Li Shimin jumped up suddenly and almost punched Li Xiu in the face. After all, he was from a general, so he remained alert even when he was sleeping.

"Why is it you? If I hadn't stopped quickly just now, I'm afraid you would have climbed up to the ground and couldn't get up!" When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu standing in front of him, he couldn't help but put away his fists in a little annoyed state. He was woken up from his beautiful dream, so he wouldn't feel happy, let alone he drank a little too much, and now he suddenly got up, and his head hurts a lot.

"Your Highness, I'm here to ask you for something!" Li Xiu was too lazy to be polite to Li Shimin, so he went straight to the point.

"Oh, this is a strange thing in the world. Do you actually ask me for something?" Li Shimin immediately felt no headache when he heard this. Instead, he looked at Li Xiu up and down with energy. This seemed to be something he had never seen before. Instead, he seemed to have begged Li Xiu several times.

"Your Highness, I am serious. In fact, I can't say that I beg you, but I'm here to beg for you for help on behalf of the princess. If you still recognize Pingyang as your sister, then help her once!" Li Xiu said with a serious expression.
