Chapter 1004 Not only are there clear waters and green mountains, but also golden mountains and silv(2/2)
Anyway, this pressure is pressure to outsiders, but in his opinion, nothing is at all.
Potatoes produce thousands of kilograms per acre. Isn’t this the most basic thing?
What should I worry about?
This is the first high-yield crop I have found when I arrange for people to go to America.
"This potato can really be eaten as a staple food or as a dish?"
Li Shimin did not worry about the yield of potatoes for the time being, but instead looked at it over and over again with a potato.
Anyway, there will be no conclusions in this issue for a while, and there is no rush to ask for conclusions.
On the contrary, Li Shimin wanted to confirm the use of potatoes.
"Your Majesty, you can transport a cart of potatoes to the Summer Palace today. At that time, the Wei Minister personally guides the chef in the imperial kitchen to make a whole potato feast. Whether it is delicious or not, you will know exactly how to eat it."
Li Kuan suddenly missed the taste of spicy and sour potato shreds.
"No, no! It's so wasteful. These potatoes are all seeds. They have been retrieved from America from thousands of miles away. It would be a pity if they just ate them like this."
When Li Shimin heard that Li Kuan wanted to get a carriage of potatoes to the Summer Palace, he obviously wanted to eat them all, so he immediately felt very distressed.
No matter how much potato yield is, it is certain that it is very high.
I finally found such a "auspicious" crop. If I ate the seeds myself, I don't know how to describe myself in history books.
Besides, no matter how you look at it, the potatoes in front of you don’t look very delicious, which can’t arouse Li Shimin’s appetite.
"It doesn't matter. Li Yixie brought so many potatoes from America, enough to seed tens of thousands of acres. It doesn't matter if you just eat a meal. Let Your Majesty and the ministers in the court understand the deliciousness of potatoes, which is more conducive to the promotion and planting of potatoes."
Li Kuan threw out this reason, but Li Shimin couldn't object anymore.
Although the potatoes are not necessarily delicious, Li Shimin is somewhat curious about how they taste.
"Your Highness the King of Chu said it well. This potato has been described as omnipotent now. I think it is also good to let everyone see it in person."
Fang Xuanling, who was standing by, also agreed with Li Kuan's suggestion.
No matter how good things are, they must be recognized by everyone.
Otherwise, who would be willing to promote planting on a large scale?
"Second brother, are those dog-headed gold?"
Just as everyone was still discussing potatoes, the crew began to transport the gold from the boat.
For grains like potatoes, the Maritime Bureau can not impose a maritime tax.
But things like dog head gold are not good!
"That's right! This time the fleet discovered a huge gold mine in the Americas, which was larger than Australia's; at the same time, it also discovered a silver mine that may be larger than the Ishimiya Ishimiya Mountain. This America has not only green waters and green mountains, but also gold and silver mountains."
Li Kuan had received a detailed report long ago, so he was not particularly surprised by the piles of gold.
Gold and silver have no impact on characters like Li Shimin, so they didn't pay attention to it at the beginning.
But after hearing what Li Kuan said, they realized that they might have underestimated the scale of Australia's gold and silver mines.
"Second brother, is this America really so rich?"
Li Zhi couldn't help swallowing, and was surprised by the dog-headed gold that was constantly being moved down in front of him.
It's really scary.
Even Li Shimin, who didn't care much at the beginning, changed slightly.
"Although I don't really want to admit it, the richness of America is really not comparable to that of our Tang Dynasty; but you don't need to be envious of His Royal Highness. Since our fleet has arrived in America, this wealthy land belongs to our Tang Dynasty. The only pity is that America is too far away. It takes a lot of manpower to occupy such a large piece of land."
At this time, Li Kuan naturally began to guide everyone to support the march towards America.
