Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Fang Xuanling's expression was shocked.

Unlike soap, the fragrance of soap is to give people a comfortable feeling.

But the aroma of this sweet potato makes people feel a sense of appetite.

Smelling this fragrance, several people couldn't help swallowing a few times for an instant.

"Go aside!"

Li Xiao's arm trembled, and Cheng Yaojin unconsciously let go.

He looked at his hands in bewilderment.

But before he had time to think about it, he saw Li Xiao giving the sweet potato in his hand to several servants.

"You...Your Majesty is here, how can you give your servants a taste first?" Cheng Yaojin said dissatisfied.

Li Xiao gave Cheng Yaojin a look, then turned around and walked in front of Li Er, split the sweet potato in his hand in half, and handed half of it to Li Er.

"Father, try it!"

Li Er stretched out his hand to take the roasted sweet potato, sniffed the aroma lightly, and his eyes were full of shock.

At close range, he just felt the fragrance of sweet potatoes.

Just by smelling it, the smell is not inferior to the delicacies of mountains and seas in his palace.

After that, he couldn't wait to taste it.

But the sweet potato was just baked, so it was unavoidably hot to the touch, so he had to keep exchanging hands, wanting to eat it but couldn't put it down for a while.

"His Royal Highness, I also ask for a piece of food!"

Cheng Yaojin quickly forgot how Li Xiao got the strength to shake him away, and immediately came over with a smile.

"Can you eat this too?"

Li Xiao replied indifferently.

These are Cheng Yaojin's original words.

"Hey, it's because I have blind eyes and misunderstood the baby. Why should the king of Yue be angry with me? Isn't it okay if I compensate you?"

Cheng Yaojin stared at the sweet potato in Li Xiao's hand, and smiled.

"Then I'll give you a taste!"

Li Xiao divided the sweet potato in his hand into two again, and handed half of it to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin didn't care how much sweet potatoes he took, and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

"Hiss... it's hot!"

The result was obvious, his skin wasn't thick enough, and he grinned in pain.

"Cough cough..."

Changsun Wuji coughed in embarrassment, and signaled to Li Xiao that he didn't have any here yet!

"Master Changsun is suffering from tuberculosis? I have studied medicine, do you want me to feel your pulse?" Li Xiao said jokingly.

"Cough cough cough..."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji coughed violently, this time he really choked.

"Master Changsun probably wants to try it too."

Fang Xuanling had a smile on his face.

"That can't be done, what if it is poisonous?"

Li Xiao shook his head again and again: "Master Changsun is the pillar of the country, if there is any trouble, I can't bear it."

Chapter 140: Changsun Wuji vomits blood

"Humph!"

Seeing that Li Xiao refused to give up, Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and said no more.

Isn't it just a bit of food that tastes okay?

It's not enough for him to have the cheek to ask for it.

only……

He looked at the expressions of Cheng Yaojin and Li Er enjoying the sweet potatoes, and felt very uncomfortable.

Soon, this emotion turned into hatred towards Li Xiao.

Everyone here, including the humble servants, can taste it, but he, the third-rank minister, does not.

It was obvious that Li Xiao was targeting him and insulting him.

After a while, Li Er ate all the sweet potatoes in his hand, and sighed with some insatiable desire: "It's sweet and soft, it melts in your mouth, this sweet potato is very good."

"The meat is fresh and tender, sweet but not greasy, it's amazing!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Xiao and exclaimed, "I didn't expect this humble black lump to be so delicious!"

After Cheng Yaojin finished eating, he stretched out his hand: "Come again!"

Changsun Wuji could see the demeanor of several people, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became.

He pondered for a moment, and said sourly: "Even if this sweet potato tastes good, but the production is limited, I'm afraid it still can't solve my Tang Dynasty's worries."

But Fang Xuanling suddenly thought of something, and asked with staring eyes: "King Yue, before you said that the mass production of sweet potatoes can reach a thousand catties, is it true or not?"

"How is it possible? Do you believe such nonsense?" Changsun Wuji sneered.

"Don't you believe me, grandson?"

Li Xiao looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "If my sweet potato yield is several thousand catties per mu, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Xiao's serious face, felt a little guilty, and said, "If you have any, your sweet potato is relatively heavy. Maybe you are lucky enough to have a thousand catties per mu."

"Xiao'er, can you really produce a thousand catties per mu?"

Li Er looked at Li Xiao seriously.

This is no small matter.

This sweet potato is so delicious, if it can produce more than a thousand catties per mu, it will be a treasure of the Tang Dynasty.

If this plant is planted in large quantities, the mass production of Datang will increase several times in the future.

"Um……"

Li Xiao thought about it seriously, and said: "There should be six thousand catties, and the child is not very sure."

"Oh, bragging!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help laughing, and said sarcastically, "Six thousand catties, do you know how long it can last for an ordinary family of three?"

"How can this be grown on an acre of land?"

"Such nonsense, I really don't take the crime of deceiving the emperor seriously!"

Can't talk anymore.

He also wanted to give Li Xiao a chance.

But I didn't expect Li Xiao to be too good at talking.

His family's farmland grows grain, and it weighs more than 300 catties per mu.

Why is this sweet potato more than 20 times his size?

Who believes this!

Do you take him for a fool?

"If there are eight thousand catties per mu, what should I do?" Li Xiao said with narrowed eyes.

In fact, when he said six thousand catties, he was a little understated.

In later generations, there will be upwards of six thousand catties of sweet potatoes per mu.

Although one catty of Tang Dynasty is equal to one catty and two taels of later generations.

But his sweet potatoes are produced by the system, and they are much, much larger than normal sweet potatoes.

So he guessed that the real output was definitely more than [-] catties.

"How are you doing?" Changsun Wuji sneered.

"Later, I will have someone dig up an acre of land and weigh it on the spot. If there is more than six thousand catties, your eldest grandson's family will donate one million taels of silver to the treasury."

"If not, how about I donate 100 million taels of silver to the treasury?" Li Xiao sneered.

"King Yue." Changsun Wuji had a look of disdain on his face, "Do you have that much money? You deliberately exaggerated the bet to fool me?"

"Hehe, I was spotted by you, it's just a joke." Li Xiao chuckled.

"How can it be a joke in front of the Holy One?" Changsun Wuji raised the corner of his mouth, "You made the bet yourself, and it's too late to repent!"

"Father..." Li Xiao's expression turned bitter, and he begged, "Can you go back on your word?"

After speaking, he blinked at Li Er.

Li Ergang wanted to stop the nonsense of the two of them, but when he saw this scene, his words stopped immediately.

He stared at Li Xiao for a while, and then slowly said: "Since I heard it, then this bet can't be voided, let your people dig sweet potatoes!"

"Pretty!"

Li Xiao gave Li Er a thumbs up, turned around and shouted: "Come on! Call all the tenant farmers to dig!"

"Yes!"

The tenant farmers scattered in all directions.

But at this time, Changsun Wuji frowned slightly when he saw this scene, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

But when he thought of the six thousand catties per mu, he felt relieved again.

Impossible!

Not long after, dozens of tenant farmers came to the scene with all their tools.

Li Xiao commanded excitedly.

In this gambling fight, it seems that he won't get any benefits if he wins.

But in fact, the benefits can be great!

He grows so much food, even if he expands the establishment of [-] soldiers, he still can't finish it.

Sooner or later it will be sold.

But right now the imperial court is most in short supply of food, Li Er will definitely ask him to buy food.

But he knows that the treasury has no money!

What to buy?

It's not about credit or direct confiscation.

And now he helped Li Er pit Changsun Wuji so much money into the treasury.

Is Li Er still willing to pay on credit?

So, this money will go into his pocket sooner or later.

In the fields, the sharecroppers are nimble and quick.

Under Li Xiao's command, he quickly mastered the skill of digging sweet potatoes.

One by one, the black bumps were dug out and put into sacks.

In the back, there are special people weighing.

There are also special people to keep accounts.

"This bag... weighs 220 catties."

"580 pounds."
