Chapter 98 Face Saint
Ning Wen took the initiative to meet the supreme leader Li Shimin for the second time. The last time there was no way. Master Zhou disappeared, but this time he was involved with the prince. Ning Wen was very frightened and worried about whether he would cause trouble. After all, history was written by people. Ghosts knew that those who wrote history would not write randomly. Did Li Shimin not like Li Chengqian's personal experience later that Ning Wen had returned, and he would know that he would only be the only one who would rather be cut than tell the truth like Sima Qian. If it were Ning Wen, he would have surrendered long ago.
Ning Wen and Liu Rengui pulled Mr. Cui early in the morning. This guy was impatient for a long time. There was no way. Ning Wen was not qualified to go to court. Only when those officials came to court were waiting for Li Shimin to have time to meet him. The supreme leader was also a human being and would be tired. Ning Wen had to understand that he was not.
It was still a warm pavilion, but after changing the place, Donghunting Pavilion. Ning Wen then realized that the place was the Westhunting Pavilion before, and the furnishings were similar, but the Easthunting Pavilion looked more refined and easy-going, unlike the Westhunting Pavilion, which was meticulous and a bit depressing.
"How is the Tianwei Cannon?"
Li Shimin has been through a long battle, so he asked about the cannon when he came.
"Back to your Majesty, Tianwei Cannon is testing the second door, which is too soon. After all, the production process is familiar, and you can get up quickly by adding more running-in. After those craftsmen are proficient, large-scale production will have a foundation. However, the projectiles are still a bit difficult. Zhou Jianzuo and they are working hard to overcome the difficulties. I believe that it will be completed before the end of the year."
Nowadays, the weapons prisons have countdown cards for the day of experiments, which are also fresh things brought from later generations. Liu Rengui and Huai Liang also say that they are very urgency and urge people to make progress.
"Well, it's so good, I feel very comforted. What's the matter when you enter the palace today?"
Li Shimin placed many memorials around him, probably from the Secretariat of the Secretariat, waiting for him to review them. There were some fruit and snacks on the desk. Of course, there were also Ning Wen around him, but Ning Wen did not have the courage to take action.
Maybe Mr. Cui was wandering around Li Shimin for a long time. At this moment, he was happy to look at the supreme leader, and his hands were not idle. One by one, the snacks fell into this person's stomach. Seeing this guy's greedy look, he looked at him and looked very despised.
"I'm telling Your Majesty that I'm asking Brother Cui Shi to find a batch of grain seeds from all over the place. I plan to try planting in our village now, and I'll take it into the palace today to ask Your Majesty to visit."
Ning Wen winked at the foodie, and handsome Cui took out corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes from his pocket, and put them on Li Shimin's desk one by one. They were all processed and the surface soil was cleaned to avoid tainting the emperor's longan. When Ning Wen and the others entered the palace just now, they asked the Qianniu Mansion to check it hard, but they almost let them in. Liu Rengui persuaded him and took a sweet potato and ate it a few times before he passed.
Li Shimin should have seen it before. He picked it up and looked it up and put it down. He was just interested in corn. He completely dried the corn cob. It was not as strong as later generations, and the particles were not very full. Fortunately, the size was relatively long and the yield per mu would not be much shorter.
"Well, there are sweet potatoes, potatoes and gardens, but what is the use of this thing?"
"When I go back to your Majesty, this thing was introduced from the extreme west of the sea. We have purchased it from the merchants of the Marine. According to the merchants of the Marine, this thing was purchased from the uncivilized natives who were far beyond the sea. They felt that it looked fresh and didn't know what it was for. Or Ning Zheng told Wei that the yield per mu of this thing was several times more than the grain of rice. We then sent someone to buy it back."
Handsome Cui is very kind and does not take credit. Of course, this guy has heard from Ning Wen. Now he is a saint. If Ning Wen beats him casually and teases him a few words, it is a crime of deceiving the king. This guy is smart. He should not be greedy for those who should not be greedy, and he will not keep a son who should be greedy.
"Your Majesty, this thing is called corn, also known as corn, which can be used as food for livestock. At critical moments, it can be used as a filling of hunger. Your Majesty, the key point is these two, sweet potatoes and potatoes."
Corn cannot be eaten for a long time, so it is mainly for the development of the feed industry. After all, there has not been any other motivation that can replace horses. Therefore, it is still an urgent task to develop the livestock industry. It is also a large-scale and large-scale breeding, not only agriculture, but also military wars, but also urgently need horses in the livestock industry. Corn can solve the problem of livestock competing for food between people.
"Oh, such an ugly thing can really fill the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin looked through the sweet potatoes in his hand, also called red potatoes. Ning Wen remembered that when he was a child, he loved roasted sweet potatoes, which were completely natural and sweet. After a few days, Aunt Zhang must let him roast some of them for himself. However, Ning Wen planned to roast them by himself. This thing is expensive now, so don’t burn them or bake them.
"That is, this thing does not pick up fields, and can be cultivated even if it is barren land. The yield is huge, dozens of times that of rice and grain. It is easy to store after drying. If the frontline soldiers can bring half a pound, they can be used to melt it with water and then eat it. This thing can also make wine, make sugar, and cook young branches and leaves. It can be said that they are treasures!"
Ning Wen replied sincerely.
Li Shimin was moved and looked at the sweet potatoes in his hand over and looked at them again and again. It seemed strange that this small potato could have such a shocking output, dozens of times the rice and grain, and there was no longer any shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty!
"Ning Wen, should it be as you said?"
Li Shimin said seriously, very doubting what Ning Wen said. After all, he had never heard of it. There were plantings in the imperial garden, but no one cared about it. It was estimated that Li Shimin would have the urge to run to the imperial garden to overturn the ground.
"Your Majesty, take it seriously, there is also this potato, also known as potatoes, which produces extremely high yields and has no special demand for soil quality. If it is sand, it is the best. It is better to let the imperial kitchen cook a few for your Majesty and try it out."
It was a fake way to just say that it was not practiced. Li Shimin nodded and asked Wang De to pick a few big ones from the bag. Ning Wen took a look at it. If Li Shimin had eaten sprouted potatoes, Ning Wenning's family would have no chance of survival at all.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
It’s time to talk about Ning Wen’s family now. The Ning family cannot let those censors slander us.
"allow!"
"Your Majesty, the censor impeached the empress the day before yesterday. The empress was wronged, wronged!"
Ning Wen remembers that in the TV series, he cried and cried to the emperor injustice. He did not fall into clichés and lay on the ground. He didn't know what his handsome guy Cui's expression was now. It was obviously a bit proud of him, but he didn't dare to show a smile at this moment.
"Oh, what's wronged? Get up and talk!"
Li Shimin raised his hand and signaled Ning Wen not to do this. He quickly got up and bowed and said:
"Report to Your Majesty, I do have more than 200 acres of mud ponds, but it is not suitable for cultivation at all. I originally wanted to clean up my life and make plans. I didn't expect it to impeach the censor. That piece of land is not a good land at all. Please observe it clearly!"
After Ning Wen finished speaking, he looked up at Li Shimin. He had no expression and was very serious. He didn't know who was impeaching Ning Wen.
"Haha, Ning Wen doesn't have to worry about this matter. The impeachment of censors is also supervising all officials, catching up with shadows, and exaggerating them, but where did Ning Guangcheng's 200 acres of land come from!"
Li Shimin smiled, but didn't see any smile at all. Could it be that Ning Wen didn't understand the situation? The impeachment of Ning Wen was not only because of the wasteland, but because of the origin of these 200 acres of land?
Ning Wen was a little worried. Did Yu'er and Erya get caught up in the first place? This so-called poor scholar was arranged by him? But this is too vicious!
Ning Wen's vest was a little sweaty, it was very cold. This was strange. Everyone forgot about this and thought it was deserted. Moreover, this matter did not seem to be straightforward in the court. Could it be that it was someone in the palace?
Ning Wen silently sorted out the incident in his mind in an instant. Seeing that Ning Wen ignored his olive branch, the prince set up chess pieces next to Ning'er and lured Yu'er to buy land. When the land was deserted, he instigated the trusted censor to complain about Ning Wen's grudges, and then whispered a few words to his father in private, saying that Ning Wen's origin was unknown and suspected of occupying land. So Ning Wen came to Da Nei honestly and explained the situation to the highest chief himself. Ning Wenxin said that he was so stupid that he fell into the trap and had no chance to run away at this moment.
