The bumper harvest of corn brought great joy to Chang'an City.

Even though the Tang Dynasty had potatoes, all the civil and military officials and ordinary people in the court were still full of love for high-yield corn.

Although Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were on the scene, they mocked Li Kuan for setting the price of corn too high.

But when they really started selling corn, they were more active than anyone else.

Although corn prices next year cannot be as high as this year, the price of corn can last at least two or three years.

Considering that corn yields two or three times that of corn, growing corn is definitely a profitable thing.

How could these nobles foolishly miss this opportunity?

So in just one hour, all the corn was sold out.

Even though there are still many that have not been picked, they have been divided up in advance by everyone.

Li Kuan was convinced and handed over the proceeds from selling corn on the spot to the Minister of Revenue Tang Jian, the Minister of Revenue, as funds for the construction of the cement road from Luoyang to Guangzhou.

After a while of confusion, Li Shimin simply took this opportunity to announce that the court would officially start building the official road from Luoyang to Guangzhou.

Some people may be confused, why not build the official road from Chang'an City to Guangzhou directly? Isn't this more conducive to the transportation of goods?

The reason is actually very simple. The geographical location of Chang'an City is not actually the most central part of the Central Plains.

On the contrary, the area of ​​Luoyang is the real center.

Whether it is southeast, southwest, northwest, Luoyang can go to various places.

So even if you go to Jinyang from Chang'an City, you need to transfer from Luoyang.

As for going to Yangzhou and other things, we naturally have to transfer from Luoyang even more.

"The prince, Xiao Yumi's name, has become famous during this period."

In the Chu King's Mansion, Cheng Jingwen looked at the girl who was chasing the butterfly with two younger brothers in Baicao Garden, and her face was full of happiness.

She is in her twenties now in her prime.

No matter what occasion the identity of Princess Chu is placed, no one dares not to pay attention to it.

To be honest, there are basically few people who can surpass her in the limelight for all kinds of noble ladies in Chang'an City.

But she has always been a low-key person, not as fond of showing off as Wu Meiniang.

"Little corn and small potatoes are now famous, so let's see when the little sweet potatoes are also known to everyone."

Li Kuan gave his children a nickname, all of which were named after new overseas crops.

Cheng Jingwen has fully mastered this rule.

"Prince, there are four kinds of things you have asked you to go to America to look for. Now, except for the peppers, you have not named everything else. By then, the baby in Mei Niang's belly and I will not be able to name a nickname enough after the birth of the baby."

Although her belly showed no sign of getting bigger, Cheng Jingwen, who had just confirmed that she was pregnant again, habitually protected one hand on her abdomen.

The autumn of the 19th year of Zhenguan was a season of harvest for Li Kuan.

Not only did the corn planted as expected, but it achieved a great harvest.

Even Cheng Jingwen and Wu Meiniang became pregnant again.

The situation of the Chu Prince's Mansion being thin is about to change immediately.

In the future, when Xiao Yumi goes out, she doesn’t need to rely on the seven little fairies of the Cheng family to follow her, and she will directly take her younger brothers and sisters, which will feel a bit crowded.

"How come it's not enough to give a nickname? In addition to small peppers, you can also have small pumpkins, small tomatoes, small rubber, small pistachios, etc. As long as you can grow it, there is no problem with many names."

How could Li Kuan be stumped by this small problem?

In this life, the nickname of his son and daughter is against the various novel animals and plants in this world.

Hundreds of years later, even if these children have not achieved any great achievements, they can become famous figures that have been passed down through the ages by relying solely on their unique nicknames.

It's probably going to be a good story.

"Then do you hope to have another daughter or son?"

No matter when a woman becomes pregnant, she will definitely consider this issue.

Fortunately, Li Kuan is already very familiar with this.

"It is naturally the best to have a daughter, but it doesn't matter if it's a son."

Li Kuan likes his daughter, which comes from the bottom of his heart.

However, he knew that what Cheng Jingwen and the others most hoped for was to continue to have a son.

After all, no matter how hard Li Kuan tried in this era, the situation of favoring boys over girls will not change.

Even if it takes another thousand years, don’t think that this situation will change so easily.

"Little Yumi is now a little witch. She will get into trouble every time she goes out to play. Do you want to have another daughter?"

Sure enough, whenever Cheng Jingwen mentioned this topic, she would think of Xiao Yumi's constant trouble now.

"Jingwen, you only noticed that little corn is making trouble, but if you pay more attention, you can actually find that little corn is also changing.

When Xiao Mei was three or four years old, she was really making trouble, and she left all the way to her mood.

But now I am eight years old, what you call trouble is actually different from before.

Xiao Yumi is basically bullying the children of other nobles, or the playboys in other noble families. She never uses ordinary people to enjoy herself now.

On the contrary, when she goes out to play, if she sees poor people, she will help her in her own way from time to time.

Although the final result of this help may have been a bad help, it is undeniable that she is actually kind and hates evil."

Li Kuan is naturally very concerned about his little cotton jacket.

As long as he is in the mansion, he basically spends a period of time every day with Xiao Yumi.

The girl Xiao Yumi is obviously closer to Li Kuan.

In fact, it is often very simple for a child to get closer to whom she is, that is, whoever spends more time with her will get closer to whoever she spends more time with her.

"It seems that it makes sense if you say this. Last time I took her to a temple outside the city to incense. On the way, I met a beggar with one leg missing. The little corn even threw a silver coin to him."

Cheng Jingwen was also very happy after hearing Li Kuan's words.

After all, Xiao Yumi is her eldest daughter. Li Kuan likes her, so Cheng Jingwen is naturally very happy.

"We don't need to make Xiao Yumi a good child praised by everyone. The so-called good child is likely to be unhappy in their hearts."

Although Cheng Jingwen dared not agree with Li Kuan's rather strange statement, she would not object to it.

As long as Li Kuan really likes Xiao Yumi and her daughter, she doesn't have to worry about whether the child in her belly is a boy or a girl.
