"You have one in your backyard? How dare you speak nonsense!
Mingda, you're already a grown-up now. You can't say such nonsense anymore!
We can't lie to Imperial Father and Imperial Mother!"
Li Shi Min whispered.
When he was teaching, Li Shiming thought of the ignorant Chang Le and Gao Yang!
Looking at Princess Jin Yang now, she realized that Princess Jin Yang was still very obedient.
However, Li Shiming would never have thought that something would happen tonight.
It would make his face fall!
"Father, I didn't lie to you. I do have this hybrid rice in my backyard.”
Li Mingda said very honestly!
"Look, you even said the wrong name for this rice. And you said you weren't lying to me.
This kind of rice was called Youzhou Rice. It came from Youzhou, which was why it was named!
It's not some hybrid rice…"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Mingda and waved his hand!
"Father, it's not hybrid rice, it's hybrid rice.
This is the name Brother Su Qian told me, it can't be wrong!”
Li Mingda still stubbornly corrected him!
When he heard Su Qian's name, Li Shimin's body trembled and he couldn't help but take Li Mingda's words seriously!
"You said that Su Gan told you about the rice in your backyard?”
"You're not just telling me!" Li Mingda said. In fact, that hybrid rice was completely cultivated by Brother Su Qian!”
After hearing Li Mingda's words, Su Gan was so happy that he almost jumped up!
It was too exciting!
It didn't take much effort to get it!
Li Shiming was very upset that he couldn't sow the Youzhou rice he had robbed from the Tian Ce Army!
He thought that he would not be able to get the cultivation method of paddy in Youzhou Province in a short period of time!
But now, it seemed like it was the case!
There was still a chance!
"Let's go! Let's go to your palace now and take a look at the hybrid rice!”
Li Shi Min was so excited that he couldn't stop.
He wanted to go to Li Mingda's palace to see the hybrid rice!
"Alright then."
Li Mingda nodded and led the way.
In fact, she did not know if she could tell her father about the hybrid rice.
However, four years ago, after Su Qian cultivated the hybrid rice in the backyard of her palace, he didn't ask Li Mingda not to tell the world!
Therefore, Li Mingda felt that telling her father,
It should be fine!
Jin Yang Hall!
It was the palace where Jin Yang Princess Li Mingda lived!
Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, Li Mingda, and the others quickly entered the hall!
He came to the courtyard behind the hall.
Li Mingda pointed to the southeast and said,"
"That is hybrid rice!"
Li Shiming looked in the direction Li Mingda was pointing at and saw a field that was about an acre in size!
The fields were filled with rice. The rice had miraculously matured in the middle of summer.
The fields were golden.
The ears of rice covered the entire body of the rice, and each grain was abnormally plump. It looked extremely tempting!
Although Li Shi Min and the others were still a hundred feet away from the paddy field, they could still smell the fragrance of the rice.
Li Shimin quickly walked forward and pulled a handful of rice from the ear of rice.
He placed it in his palm and looked at it carefully. He laughed and said,
"As expected! This really is Youzhou rice! I didn't think that the Imperial Palace of the Great Tang would have an acre of Youzhou rice!
I actually didn't know!
Mingda, how long has this paddy field existed?”
Li Mingda counted on his fingers.
"It has been about five years since the ninth year of Martial Virtue was successfully nurtured and began to mature!
This paddy field was very magical. Every year, it would mature twice in midsummer and late autumn!
That's why a mere mu of paddy field can feed my entire palace!
Ever since we had this paddy field, the palace maids and eunuchs in my palace have been eating rice from this hybrid rice!”
The smile on Li Mingda's face was pure and clean!
However, Li Shiming was very frustrated!
It turned out that Youzhou rice had already been cultivated in the palace in the ninth year of Wude!
Li Mingda could only stay in the palace when Li Shimin ascended the throne!
Li Shimin officially ascended the throne in the eighth month of the ninth year of Wude!
In other words, at that time, there was already Youzhou rice in the backyard of Jin Yang Hall!
But he never knew!
Sigh! Damn it!
Li Shiming wanted to curse himself in his heart. If he had known earlier, he could have cultivated the rice in Youzhou Province.
And then spread it to all parts of the empire!
At that time, the entire empire would have a great harvest!
A bumper harvest of rice would directly increase the strength of the empire!
The Great Tang's strength would rise once more!
"Summon the officials from the Ministry of Revenue. Cultivate the rice in Youzhou Province immediately! No, this kind of rice should be called hybrid rice. After all, its true origin is in my palace!”
Li Shi Min said to the eunuch beside him with a smile.
"Here!"
The eunuch immediately obeyed the order and left!
The eunuch had gone to summon the two officials from the Ministry of Revenue!
This time, Li Shiming didn't even ask the officials from the Ministry of Revenue to see if they could cultivate it!
After all, what they saw this time was live rice!
And it was rice growing in a paddy field!
If he couldn't even nurture this…
No! It was absolutely impossible!
Li Shiming had never encountered such a thing in his life!
"Mingda, you've made a great contribution this time! Once this hybrid rice was promoted throughout the empire,
The strength of our Great Tang will rise once more!
The people of the Great Tang would live and work in peace forever!”
Li Shi Min laughed out loud!
In ancient empires, every emperor wanted to expand their territory and also wanted to have as many people as possible!
However, due to the pressure of food, the number of people in ancient times had always been maintained at a very small range!
During the Manchu period, sweet potatoes and other crops were gradually introduced into the country.
As a result, the domestic grain production increased.
As a result, the number of citizens in the country increased!
Nowadays, hybrid rice was ten thousand times better than sweet potatoes.
Therefore, Li Shiming's wish could be fulfilled!
After all, hadn't Youzhou already achieved the goal of having a population of five million?
The two officials from the Ministry of Revenue rushed over.
They were also surprised to see that there was an acre of paddy field in the backyard of the princess's palace!
However, at Li Shiming's request,
They immediately took out some rice and prepared to cultivate it!
