Chapter 11 One Emperor through the Ages(2/2)
Qin Hao was speechless for a while. This guy's thinking was too out of the ordinary. He really thought he was here for a trip.
Faced with the messy situation in the court, Li Shimin was not angry. He had already learned from the returning eunuch that there was a grain yield of fifty dan per mu.
It wasn't until the situation was almost out of control, and some military generals had already taken off their hats and prepared to fight with the civilian officials, that Li Shimin coughed lightly.
"Okay, what do they all look like? This is a court meeting, not a market for ordinary people."
"I know I made a mistake, and please punish me, Your Majesty."
Seeing that all the civil and military ministers had admitted their mistakes, Li Shimin waved his hands with satisfaction: "That's all, all of you dear ministers are also dedicated to serving the public good."
After speaking, Li Shimin sat up straight and said to Niu Jinda: "Niu Aiqing, what can you say about Du Aiqing's accusation that you deceived the emperor?"
Niu Jinda bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, the grain yield of fifty dan per acre is indeed true. The potatoes are outside the palace. As long as they are dug out on site, we will know something. If I have even half a lie, I am willing to die to apologize!
"
"Oh? My dear, you are serious. Since the potatoes have been transported, let's carry them up! Today, I will witness with my own eyes what this fifty-dan acre of grain looks like."
Soon, four large vats were brought up. This time, both civil servants and military officers gathered around them, talking among themselves.
"Can just a few jars produce that much grain?"
"Stupid, Niu Jinda must have estimated. The total of these tanks is less than half an acre."
Li Shimin did not provoke the civil and military ministers this time, and directly ordered Jin Wuwei to knock open the vat.
As the soil was peeled away layer by layer, the entire palace couldn't help but hear the sound of inhaling. The potatoes in the big vat were densely packed. If many of them weren't fruits with roots attached, they might have suspected whether Qin Hao and the others were conspiring.
, stuff those yellow fruits into the soil beforehand.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this scene. This is not food. This is his confidence to govern the country.
If he had obtained these potatoes two years earlier, he would not have been forced to sign the humiliating Weishui Alliance. All he needed to fight the war was military supplies. How could he feed his troops without food?
"Okay~~~"
