Dear friends!

…

After having enough wine and food, Li Shimin just took a short rest before leading a large group of people to the edge of the potato field that had not yet been harvested.

Due to the previous instructions from above, although I am worried that the potatoes still buried in the ground will rot in the ground because of the autumn rain because I did not have time to harvest them, but considering that the status of the people who came today is more noble than the other,

I can only worry secretly in my heart.

"Are these potato fields that have not yet been harvested?" Li Shimin asked, standing at the edge of the fields and pointing to the neat fields.

"Back to the Holy Spirit, since I received the oral instruction, I asked my servants to stop harvesting, and the remaining half of the potato fields have not been harvested." As a landlord, Li Anran had already taken advantage of the opportunity to take a nap after the meal.

Got a new outfit.

Although Li Anran is relatively young among all the people, his lavender robe makes him look like a fairy. Especially the magnanimity revealed between his eyebrows and his words and deeds.

It makes people wonder whether this person is really young, or whether he is accomplished and has a good appearance.

Li Shimin, who had long seen from the condition of the fields that no one had tampered with them, stretched out his hand and randomly selected three pieces from the potato fields that still had many unharvested ones, and said: "Come here, go and harvest the potatoes."

I harvested the potatoes from these three fields."

The advantage of being a superior is that you don’t need to do many things yourself. You only need to give an order, and naturally there will be a large number of people to get things done.

No, with Li Shimin's order, the soldiers who had just been mobilized from the nearby barracks immediately transformed into farmers and swarmed forward and began to work enthusiastically in the three potato fields.

In order to ensure that the potatoes in the field would not be ruined by these guys, Li Anran had to ask Butler Wang to send a few experienced potatoes who had harvested potatoes the first day to the fields to teach them, so that these big-headed soldiers would not have to use brute force.

causing waste.

As the saying goes, a lot of people is a good thing, and the same goes for harvesting potatoes.

With sufficient manpower and professional guidance, except for some minor problems at the beginning, the subsequent harvesting operations went very smoothly and with high efficiency.

When the soldiers were transferred to farmers, Li Anran also asked Wang Youde to get a scale.

There are two types of scales. One is the large scale used in the Tang Dynasty to weigh bulk items such as grain. The other is the large electronic scale that Li Anran brought from modern time and space.

As baskets of freshly unearthed potatoes were delivered to the fields, the civil servants and generals headed by Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, regardless of their respective status, began to feed the potatoes themselves.

Crossed the scale.

Digging here, weighing there. After the last basket of potatoes was delivered to the field, the yield of one acre of land was also calculated.

Although after receiving the urgent report from Cheng Chusi, Li Shimin didn't think that the people below dared to deceive him on this matter. But after seeing with his own eyes that this acre of potatoes was worth more than two hundred dan.

Finally, I finally let go of my worries.

And those civil servants and generals who personally weighed the scales regardless of their status, after confirming that the last acre of the three-acre potato field had a yield of more than 200 shi, they were so excited that they did not forget to flatter him, so, "Auspicious"

The statement was quickly recognized by everyone present.

Faced with this statement, even Li Shimin agreed. However, after weighing the potatoes, he became very interested in the things grown in other fields.

"Master, in addition to potatoes, is there any food brought down from the upper world here?" Li Shimin, who was weighing a piece of heavy potato in his hand, looked at the other fields in the villa and asked thoughtfully.

road.

"So that the True Dragon Emperor knows that these potatoes are not food from the upper world, but are from the lower world, which is what is already here." Li Anran, who was accompanying him as a guide, could not tell that the other party was already thinking about his other crops.

Plan, he said with a smile.

"What? Are these potatoes something that originally existed in our Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin, who had been secretly praising this thing from the upper world just now, was indeed extraordinary, was immediately stunned by these words.

"To be more precise, this potato is in the lower world, not in the Tang Dynasty. There is no such thing in the Tang Dynasty. It is produced in a place called the Andes Mountains of South America." There is no intention to hide this thing.

Li Anran from the true source explained.

The reason why I don’t hide it is because I consider that this kind of lie is completely unnecessary. If one day it is exposed by those foreigners who came to Datang from abroad, it will be easy to self-defeat. If one is not good, it will really be a stone.

own feet.

"The high Andes mountains of South America? Where is this place?" After hearing this place that he had never heard of, Li Shimin really couldn't imagine where this place was.

"According to the division of the upper boundary, the lower boundary, which is here, is divided into seven continents and four oceans. The area where the Tang Dynasty is located is called Asia, and the Andes Mountains are in South America. In addition, there are Europe, Africa, North

The five continents are America, Oceania and Antarctica.”

"As for the four oceans, they are divided into the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Arctic Ocean according to the sea areas." Just planning to take this opportunity to popularize the concept of regions to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran finished talking about the seven continents and four oceans.

, and then talked about the basic knowledge of the geographical division of the earth.

Although Li Shimin instinctively didn't believe such a statement, he thought that the person in front of him had an identity from the upper world, and there was no need to deceive himself about this kind of thing.

Especially since the other party flew from Lantian County to Fuzhou in just a few days. With such ability, it is not difficult to get local specialties from other continents. So, I believed it a little bit.

"Master, you said that these potatoes are from the Andes Mountains. Doesn't that mean that the country to which that mountain range belongs has never had the worry of hunger?" Li Shimin, who was doubtful, asked.

"Holy Lord, I think you have made a mistake. Although these potatoes come from the high mountains of the Andes in South America, the one I have in my hand is a variety that was improved after being brought to the upper world. It is an original potato.

You won’t have such a high yield, and the taste, nutrition and taste can’t be compared to this.” Li Anran shook his head and said with a smile.

"Take it to the upper world for improvement? Why don't you just take ready-made specialties from the upper world?" Li Shimin asked after discovering another problem.

"Your Majesty, I also want to bring some better things, but it's a taboo." Li Anran, who knew what the other party was thinking, added: "I can take down some magic weapons from the upper world and use them. I am already a master.

Otherwise, how could I be as carefree as I am now, I would have completely become a mortal long ago."

"But didn't the real person take down some treasures from the upper world before?" Li Shimin asked still unwillingly, recalling the gifts he had received.

Li Anran, who knew that if he didn't find a suitable explanation for this problem, the other party would definitely pester him endlessly, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, those things are treasures in the lower world, but their value in the upper world is far less than those things that can have a huge impact on the mortal world.

The crops affected are high. Take those gems and mirrors, for example, they are just waste from the refinery. Therefore, I can bring those things, but I cannot bring the original products of the upper world."

"Trash? This... how is this possible?!" When he recalled that the mirrors, gems and other items that the queen and concubines loved so much were just discarded trash, Li Shimin didn't know for a moment what he should do.

It was better for Long Yan to be furious, or to be more in awe of the mysterious upper world.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing impossible about this." Knowing that the other party was stunned by this statement, Li Anran deliberately left the suspense and did not explain any more. Instead, he walked to a field adjacent to the potato field and pointed at the withered fields.

A piece of the plant said: "The thing grown here is called peanut, which is also a crop with fruits hidden underground."

"The output of this thing is about one thousand kilograms. Of course, this is just the output before improvement. After improvement, the output of this kind of peanut can be doubled at least."

Li Shimin, who was still a little entangled in using waste as a treasure, quickly transferred his attention to the peanut field and asked quickly: "Oh? Can these peanuts be used as vegetables and grains like potatoes?

?”

Li Anran, who knew what the other party was planning, shook his head and said: "Peanuts can be used for cooking, but they cannot be used as food. Their biggest function is to extract oil, which is edible and tastes very good." (To be continued.)
