At this moment, a young eunuch walked out.
When the young eunuch saw who it was, he hurriedly said,""Duke Zhao, you came at the right time. His Majesty was about to summon you into the palace to discuss something.”
"Do you know what it is?" Duke Zhao, who was also Zhangsun Wuji, asked.
The young eunuch shook his head. How could he know that he usually did not even dare to look at the Emperor's face?
The three of them looked at each other and could only enter the palace.
Da da da da.
Li Shi Min raised his head and saw the approaching footsteps. He immediately smiled and said,"Wuji, you guys came at the right time. I even sent someone to look for you.”
When Zhangsun Wuji and the other two saw this, their hearts froze. His Majesty seemed to be in a good mood.
Did Du Ruhui fail?
They turned to look at Du Ruhui, who was fiddling with a pen and paper.
Du Ruhui pretended not to see them and continued to write and draw.
Wei Zheng felt that something was wrong and immediately said,"Your Majesty, about the sweet potatoes…"
"Haha, Wei Zheng is really in my heart. I came to talk to you about the sweet potatoes. This time, we brought two carts of sweet potatoes and a cart of sweet potato seedlings to the village.”
"Moreover, I will send people to my son-in-law to continue getting seeds and strive to plant sweet potatoes all over the country as soon as possible!”
Li Shi Min said with a gratified expression.
Oh no!
Zhangsun Wuji and the other two shouted in their hearts.
Wei Zheng's expression was even worse. He looked at Du Ruhui with a reproachful expression. You really didn't do your job well!
We agreed to let His Majesty rein in at the brink of the precipice!
And now?
It actually became indomitable!
Li Shi Min felt a little pleased when he saw the change in their expressions.
When he returned, Du Ruhui had confessed, so Li Shimin naturally had to make his ministers suffer.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling, who was familiar with Du Ruhui, came back to his senses and asked,""Keming, did you and His Majesty go to the village and really see 60 stones of sweet potatoes per mu?”
"I didn't see it." Du Ruhui shook his head.”
" Everyone was speechless. Didn't you see it? You still let His Majesty do whatever he wanted?
"I didn't see a single mu of yield, but just half an mu, I saw an endless sea of sweet potatoes!”
Du Ruhui recalled the scene of digging sweet potatoes that day. His heart trembled and his voice trembled.
He was a little excited and even started dancing.
Du Ruhui took the ruler on the table and walked to the main beam of Taiji Palace. He pointed at the main beam and said,""Do you know? The sweet potatoes inside the main beam are enough to feed our family for four to five days!”
Fang Xuanling and the other two gulped as they listened, their lips turning dry.
The four of them, including their families, numbered more than a hundred people!
Four to five days 'worth of rations for hundreds of people would require at least four to five hundred catties of millet!
With the current millet production, it would require at least three mu of land per year!
However, the sweet potatoes that Du Ruhui mentioned only took up an inch of the main beam. In other words, three square feet of sweet potatoes were comparable to three acres of millet?
This conversion was exactly 60 times the production of millet!
" What you said is true!!!"
After a moment of silence, Wei Zheng shouted with a red face. This shocking news made him unable to calm down anymore.
"Keming, you can't say anything about this!!!”Fang Xuanling thought of the scene Du Ruhui had described. The sea of sweet potatoes made him unable to calm down and speak fluently.
"Impossible! Impossible! How could there be such a divine item in this world? Even if there was, it wouldn't be owned by a bandit leader!”Zhangsun Wuji muttered to himself. His eyes were red and he was extremely jealous.
"Ha!"
Li Shiming, who was watching coldly from the side, sneered. You didn't trust me before, and now you don't trust Du Ruhui?
How ignorant!
What a frog at the bottom of a well!
All of a sudden, Li Shiming missed Lin Yuan. This was a true strategist!
Du Ruhui had also expected their reactions.
He was prepared.
"Hey!"
Du Ruhui let out a long sigh and slowly said,"Do you really want to be sinners of the Great Tang?”
"The commoners in the south are already mourning! Now, there was a divine item like the sweet potato that could save the world!”
"But you don't believe me time and time again! Must he only believe it after he saw it?”
"By then, more than half of the people in the south will have died!”
"Yes, you are not in a hurry. Because you are fed, you are afraid of taking on unnecessary responsibilities. You are suspicious and even want to protect yourself!”
"This!"
"What's the difference between this and the 'Why not eat minced meat' back then?”
"Ah!"
Du Ruhui's every word was like a pearl, like needles stabbing into the hearts of Zhangsun Wuji and the other two.
The three of them were trembling. Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling felt their legs go weak, and they almost fell to the ground.
Bean-sized sweat soaked their backs. It was as if they could imagine the word "sinner" carved on their faces when they closed their eyes.
Li Shi Min shook his head and sighed.
These were all his close ministers. He could not bear to see them blame themselves like this.
"Keming, you've said it before. They're only worried about me and the Great Tang. After all, opening the granaries to release grain is of great importance."”
Du Ruhui lowered his head and cupped his hands." I know I was wrong, but I was only helping Your Majesty to scold them. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"”
Li Shi Min was about to speak.
Fang Xuanling and the others immediately came to their senses and pleaded for Du Ruhui. They even apologized and believed in the production of sweet potatoes. They agreed with Li Shimin's decision to open the granary.
At this moment.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other.
This act was not bad!
Li Shi Min calmed himself down and snorted coldly,"Humph! I'll punish you to personally go to the Imperial Fields and farm with the farmers!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The four of them cupped their hands and left, walking towards Huang Tian together.
"Awesome!"
Li Shi Min laughed and returned to his bedroom to change into plain clothes. Then, he walked towards Huang Tian.
He still wanted to supervise this kind of sweet potato personally.
