In the fifth year of Wude in Tang Dynasty, the first day of August is auspicious. All kinds of things are suitable.
Li Gang took Xue Lang to Hanyuan hall, and there was a small yellow gate: ”but Li Shangshu and Xue consult?”
Li Gang replied, ”it's just me.”
Xiao Huang said: ”the sage calls, please meet with me. Come with me, please
”Thank you, father-in-law.”
Li Gang and Xue Lang follow behind xiaohuangmen into Hanyuan Hall -
Xue Lang follows Li Gang with his head down, three steps away from him, always paying attention to whether li gang stops. When he stops, stop immediately. Listen to Li Gang's way:
”Minister Li Gang has met the sage, the sage Wan'an.”
Immediately followed the salute: ”micro minister Xue Lang to see the sage, Saint Wan'an.”
A man's voice in the upper part said: ”Qing's family is flat. Sit down, Li Qing. Is Xue Lang coming with you
Li Gang replied, ”exactly.”
Xue Lang immediately said: ”Dear God, my humble minister Xue Lang traveled thousands of miles in the early spring of this year and returned to the Tang Dynasty. Princess Meng took a fancy to him and employed him as an official in the government. Xue Lang brought two kinds of seeds of sweet potato and potato from foreign countries and presented them to the princess. The princess was wise and believed in Xue Lang and planted them in weizeguan. However, after the trial planting, the seeds sowed all sprouted, and the tender buds grew into seedlings, rooting and sprouting, and bearing great fruits. The yield of sweet potato per mu was more than 20 stones, and the yield of potato per mu was slightly more than that of sweet potato. Such a high yield proves that China's Middle Earth Tang Dynasty is a land of geomantic omen, the son of God, and the blessing of heaven. In this way, we have good weather and good weather in the Tang Dynasty, and we have a good harvest! Auspicious news appears in the world. Do you dare to honor the sage? Because the princess was in an important position and did not dare to leave without permission, Fang ordered Xue Lang to lead his team to Beijing to report good news to the sage! ”
”Good! Pingyang is my son's heart, and Pingyang and Xue Qing are both meritorious! ”
Li Yuan's voice, unable to hide the excitement, tone is quite high. Xue Lang even said in a hurry: ”I dare not make contributions. This is the destiny of the Tang Dynasty. It is a sign of the blessing of the sage.”
Prince Jiancheng immediately said in a loud voice: ”Saint Wanfu!”
Seeing the situation, the officials also congratulated him: ”Blessed are the saints!”
”Good, good. You are welcome. On this occasion, Xue Lang, where are sweet potatoes and potatoes? I would like you to share the grand event with me. ”
Xue Lang said: ”the caravan of sweet potatoes stops at the gate of the palace and asks the saints to order them to carry them in.”
Li Yuan nodded and ordered xiaohuangmen to go out to preach. In a short time, two soldiers carried in baskets of sweet potatoes, one basket after another.
the Hanyuan hall is the place for holding the great dynasties and important ceremonies. The place is quite broad. In such a wide area, sweet potatoes of more than 20 stones are also filled with a large area in the hall.
Because of the lack of seeds, there is only one basket of potatoes. However, Xue Lang, as tactful as Xue Lang, specially left a potato seedling. The potatoes on the roots, no matter how big or small, are not removed. Even the plants and rhizomes are packed in a wooden box, you can see at a glance that this is the yield of a plant -
there are already so many potatoes per mu The output is almost at a glance. Although slightly inferior to the almost mountain of sweet potatoes, but it is not much worse.
Xue Lang said: ”to the sage, these are the amount of sweet potatoes produced in one mu of land. Because of the lack of seeds, potatoes only planted half of the land and got more than 80 Jin. Weizeguan left 15 Jin as seeds for the coming year. The rest are here. Please have a look at them. ”
