"Why, the eldest grandson is not willing?"

"Aren't you the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

"Your son is so incompetent, but he is able to serve as a servant. It seems that the eldest grandson has not given much trouble!" Li Xiao continued with a sneer.

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense!"

Changsun Wuji stared sharply, then turned to look at Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, I have never abused my personal power!"

"okay!"

Li Er waved his hand impatiently: "Xiao'er, let me ask you, since you first took on this task, you probably have your own ideas, how do you plan to raise food?"

Li Xiao shook his head: "Father, I can indeed raise 500 million shi of grain, but one month is too short, I am afraid no one can do it."

"How long will that take?"

"Three or four months, maybe a little longer." Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

"You really have a way?" Li Er was startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"

It is amazing to be able to raise so much food in three or four months.

"What else can I do, grow it myself!"

Li Xiao pointed to the surrounding farmland, and said casually: "Isn't this already planted? Counting the days, it should be ripe in two days."

"Grow it yourself?"

Li Er frowned slightly, and his expression suddenly became displeased: "Xiao'er, I don't have the heart to joke with you. To be honest, I have declared war on Japan, and I will soon face a huge food shortage. The situation is extremely serious."

"I'm not kidding." Li Xiao said helplessly.

He's not talking nonsense either.

He had done experiments before when he learned that the seeds provided by the system could not reproduce.

The final result is that it can reproduce, but the second generation that is bred, without systematic bonuses, will become ordinary crops.

And it does not have the advantage of ignoring environmental factors and ripening in January.

Therefore, as long as he can cultivate enough seeds, he can get a huge harvest.

Theoretically, million stones of grain is not a dream either.

But these, he couldn't explain, even if he explained, others would not understand.

"Ha ha."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji chuckled lightly, and said mockingly: "His Royal Highness, I thought that you were not a casual person, but I didn't expect that in order to win His Majesty's favor, for your own selfish desire, you would actually take me to Tang Dynasty. risk your own safety."

"What's the mess?" Li Xiao frowned and said, "Are you capable of raising food by yourself? I said that I am sure to raise food for my own selfish desires?"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao cupped his fists at Li Er: "Father, the child is quitting, you can find someone else!"

"Auxiliary machine!"

Li Er glared at Changsun Wuji unhappily, and said to Li Xiao with a smile on his face, "Xiao'er, don't lose your temper. Let me ask you, what kind of crops are you planting?"

"Father doesn't understand, let's forget it!"

Li Xiao shook his head like a rattle.

"Hey, thinking that I am dedicated to the Great Tang, igniting myself and illuminating the people, but I never thought that I would still be slandered by traitors. It is really chilling, very chilling!"

When Changsun Wuji at the side heard this, his face darkened instantly.

"The King of Yue."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Your confidence must come from the crops here, right? I don't know what crops can produce a million stones in three or four months, but the King of Yue refuses to say it. Is it because of a guilty conscience? gone?"

"Xiao'er, it's okay to say, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are both well-informed people, and I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that the two of them don't know about." Li Er said slowly.

"Your Majesty, I appreciate the award, but I have also been in charge of internal affairs, so there is really not much food that I have never seen before." Fang Xuanling smiled lightly.

"Really?" Li Xiao said indifferently: "My food is called sweet potato. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"Fantasy?"

"What is a rat?"

Several people stared at each other and were stunned.

"King Yue, you are so funny, can you still grow mice in your field?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said jokingly.

"It's sweet potatoes, not mice!" Li Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Oh, I know it doesn't make sense."

Chapter 139: Is this dark food edible?It smells so good!

"Where did you... come from? Why have I never heard of it?" Fang Xuanling asked in surprise.

"Well, I bought the seeds from merchants in the Western Regions." Li Xiao said casually.

In case of indecision, carry the Western Regions.

He doubted whether he had painted the Western Regions too much.

He only prayed that Li Er would be more magnanimous and not send troops backhand to wipe out the Western Regions.

"How can things from the Western Regions compare to my Great Tang?"

"Maybe the yield of sweet potatoes is not satisfactory?"

"Otherwise, how can I not have Tang Dynasty?" Changsun Wuji said thoughtfully.

"My lord Changsun's words are true. It's true that the yield is not very good. It's only a few thousand catties per mu!" Li Xiao sneered.

"How many kilograms?"

Changsun Wuji sneered again and again.

"Is King Yue crazy? The most productive crops in the world are only three or four hundred catties per mu. You just say a few thousand catties casually. Do you really think His Majesty is easy to fool?"

Li Er also frowned at this time.

At this time, Li Xiao gave him the feeling that his words were too vain and exaggerated.

Why did Li Xiao become like this?

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Xiao thoughtfully, and said slowly: "The King of Yue might as well open my eyes, what does this sweet potato look like?"

"Hey, that's what's on the ground!"

Li Xiao pointed to a few sweet potatoes beside the fire.

Sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes.

Due to its surprisingly large size, only one of the lit fires can be put in, and the remaining ones are put aside.

Everyone looked in the direction of Li Xiao's finger, but saw several dark "mud balls".

"Is this sweet potato?"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help pointing at the "mud ball" on the ground.

He had seen this thing a long time ago, and thought it was a few lumps of mud, so he didn't care.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao's hole card is such a dark thing.

Now he feels more at ease.

Li Er and Fang Xuanling looked at Sweet Potato with question marks on their faces.

Cheng Yaojin went directly to the sweet potato and plucked it, with a look of disgust on his face: "It's quite big, but are you sure it's edible?"

"The king of Yue just wants to fool around with something, so it's over?"

"My Tang soldiers fought bloody battles. How can we have the strength to swing weapons after eating this kind of food?"

"I'm afraid he's already died of poison before he even reaches the battlefield!"

Changsun Wuji sneered again and again.

"Then father, please go back, there is nothing the child can do."

Li Xiao cupped his hands, apologetic.

When Li Er heard this, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, and he asked unwillingly, "Xiao'er, do you only have sweet potatoes as a food here?"

He also looked at the sweet potato.

It was a dark lump, and it was simply hard to swallow.

But if it is non-toxic, it can barely be used.

But this is the next step.

"Others?" Li Xiao thought for a while, "There are a lot of them, you should be familiar with them!"

Then he turned his head and said: "Zhao Yuntian, take someone there and pick a little bit of every kind of food."

"Yes!" Zhao Yuntian took the order and left.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to have too much hope." Changsun Wuji persuaded.

"Father, go in and sit down. This is a tenant farmer's yard, and it's a bit shabby. I hope Father will not dislike you."

Li Xiao pointed to the room behind him.

Li Erjun had never experienced any hardships in his life, so naturally he would not have the emperor's airs, so he immediately took the lead and walked into the courtyard.

Waiting for Li Er and the others to sit down, Li Xiao suddenly remembered the sweet potatoes still roasting in the fire, and immediately returned to the yard.

Remove the fire and pull out the sweet potatoes.

"Well, it's almost done."

A glint of anticipation flashed in Li Xiao's eyes.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten roasted sweet potatoes, and his appetite was whetted.

Without any explanation, he directly broke the sweet potato into two pieces.

In an instant, the rich fragrance wafted out.

The tenant farmers waiting nearby widened their eyes, looked at the thing in Li Xiao's hands in disbelief, and swallowed a few times unconsciously.

It is hard for them to imagine that this is actually the food they grow.

"Come on, come on, you've worked hard these days, share the half with you!"

Li Xiao raised his hand, took half of the sweet potato and smiled at several tenant farmers.

"Give us?"

Several tenant farmers were at a loss for a moment.

"Yes, I heard that right, it's just for you to eat, be careful, it's a little hot."

Li Xiao smiled lightly.

Several tenant farmers knelt down in front of Li Xiao in an instant, raised their hands, and waited for the reward.

This made Li Xiao look helpless.

This is the case in feudal society, with strict hierarchy, and he is powerless to change it.

Just as he was handing the sweet potatoes to the tenant farmers, suddenly a strong wind flashed by him.

A figure appeared and grabbed Li Xiao's hand like pliers.

"What is this?"

Cheng Yaojin grabbed Li Xiao's hand, his bull's eyes were wide open, his face was full of shock.

"What is it that smells so strong?"

Immediately afterwards, Li Er and the others came out from the door of the house, all with surprised expressions on their faces.

Their eyes searched around the yard, and finally they all settled on the sweet potato in Li Xiao's hand.

"This is..." Changsun Wuji said in shock, "Is this sweet potato?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true.

"This sweet potato has such a fragrance!"
