Li Shimin was stunned when he looked at the popcorn in front of him. The taste of one he tasted was quite unique.

After eating the first one and the second one, Li Shimin grabbed it and ate it one by one.

The taste is not very good, but the taste makes people feel a little unstoppable.

Li Lizhi also gave Fang Xuanling some.

"Your Highness Princess Xie." Fang Xuanling took the popcorn.

Li Lizhi returned the court with a sensible attitude and said, "Uncle Fang, you have to be polite."

Fang Xuanling ate popcorn and said, "It has a different flavor. I remember that His Highness, the King of Wei also sent some potatoes over those days. It's new and strange, but I just don't know how to cook it."

Li Lizhi said: "I have eaten potatoes, and they are delicious after stewing."

Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi, is this little girl just eating Li Zheng’s things like this?

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Is that so? My wife tinkered with it for a long time last night but couldn't cook the potatoes."

Li Lizhi nodded and said, "It's really hard to cook. I saw that Li Zheng cooked it on high heat. After cooking for a long time, the pork was cooked so hard."

"Pig...pork." Fang Xuanling looked at Princess Changle in surprise. Could it be that Princess Changle had eaten pork?

I had heard before that His Highness of the King of Wei ate pork, and there were even rumors in the palace that Empress Changsun had eaten pork and kept her fetus.

I used to think that this kind of thing has always been a rumor, but now I think it is true?

I always thought it was a rumor.

"Ahem..."

Li Shimin cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "What do you think after eating Fang Xiang?"

After eating a few popcorns, Fang Xuanling said, "It really has a different flavor."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said, "It's just that I've had some dry mouth after eating it."

What is the concept of food that can be grown in wasteland?

Based on the yield per mu of the Tang Dynasty today, if one acre of land can have ten stones of grain, it will be a good land.

It was not that the Tang Dynasty had not yet reclaimed wasteland.

In fact, wasteland has been reclaimed for thousands of years.

There are even many wastelands that have been reclaimed hundreds of times.

Either because of soil quality or water shortage.

Even continuous irrigation will only cause weeds to grow in wasteland.

Also, because of insufficient fertility, even weeds cannot grow tall.

The area of ​​wasteland around Chang'an is more than half.

Except for the place where you live, the land that can be reclaimed is only one-third of the land in Chang'an.

This also counts some poor harvests that have been produced in many years.

Li Shimin asked, "How much food can Jingyang have in a year."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "If the whole county in Jingyang is happy for a year, it will be less than a thousand stones, and more than five hundred stones."

Jingyang County is next to Jingyang River among several counties around Chang'an, and the harvest in Jingyang is already considered good.

However, most of the dry land north of Jingyang is present.

Many lands are wasteland.

Most of the 1,000 acres of land given to Li Zheng so far is wasteland.

And Li Zheng reclaimed these wastelands.

Li Shimin looked at Li Li and asked, "Is this kind of edible food really grown by Li Zheng?"

Li Lizhi stood aside and nodded, "Li Zhengzhen planted grain in the wasteland, and it looked lush and green. I don't believe my father and go see it myself."

After saying that, Li Lizhi took the food box and bowed a little and left the Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin watched her leave, and this little girl didn't like her very much recently.

It was because of the marriage that Li Lizhi often said to her mother that I was not.

She was allowed to play a little bit.

Li Shimin sighed.

Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Jingyang to have a look?"

Li Shimin stood up and said, "I'll go and see what Jingyang looks like now."

Without preparing the carriage and horses, Li Shimin and the usual ones took Fang Xuanling and were escorted away from Chang'an City by Li Junxian.

Walking along the way, looking at the outskirts of Chang'an City, many villagers who live in the suburbs come to Chang'an to find work and earn some money to support their families.

The war that is happening in Liangzhou is too far away for these people.

Along the way, you can see many lazy officers and soldiers guarding the stalls to collect grain.

But I didn't see a person who came to sell food.

Li Shimin called a man who was counting the money in his hand. He seemed to have just collected his wages and planned to go home.

"Brother, why don't you go to collect grain from the court?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the middle-aged man looked at Li Shimin who was dressed in kind and said, "Look, you are also a wealthy person, why don't you sell food?"

He looked at Li Junxian with a knife beside Li Shimin, "There are also guards who accompany you. You rich people don't want to send food for the court and ask us poor people what it means. How easy is it for us to live these days."

His words made Li Shimin blush.

Fang Xuanling also avoided his eyes and felt a little ashamed of these words.

What he said is indeed correct. Some wealthy families in Chang'an have not provided food, so why should these poor people sell food first?

The villager walked away with a warning look in the face of Li Shimin.

Seeing that Li Shimin looked bad, Fang Xuanling persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's go to Jingyang first."

Nodded slightly, several people walked towards Jingyang.

Enter the woods and walk along the path for half an hour, and wait until you walk out of the woods.

The scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

At first glance, it was full of vitality, which was very different from the yellow earth outside.

After careful calculation, I have not been to Jingyang for more than four months.

Now let’s take a look. The originally deserted dry land was neatly lined up in rows of crops.

Further away, there are three huge water trucks continuously bringing water from the Jingyang River into the ditches, from the ditches to irrigating a mu of fields.

The villagers were working in the fields and talking and laughing.

When you walk into the village, you will see an orderly look.

The smiles of the villagers here and the joy of the children.

It's not lively, but the first feeling here is quiet, clean and orderly.

I couldn't help but relax.

Compared with the bustling and bustling Chang'an City, it is more peaceful and comfortable.

Li Shimin thought to himself that it was no wonder that Qingque often came to this place. There was such a quiet place that anyone would be willing to face trivial matters all day long.

Several children are gathered on the side of the road to read books.

Li Shimin looked at the children talking about a tree.

Seeing that it was fun, Li Shimin stepped forward and asked, "Children, what are you doing?"

When Daniu saw Li Shimin, he said, "Aren't you the guy who was looking for a teacher before?"

When Li Shimin heard the child call him this, he didn't care much, but instead said with a smile: "You are a big bull, I remember."

The big bull grinned and said, "Let's measure how tall this tree is."
