"...Your Majesty, this true wax rice seed is planted early in nature, mature early, drought-resistant, fine grains, and is suitable for high-rise fields. The most rare thing is that the growth cycle is very short, and it only takes more than fifty days from planting to harvest, and the yield is higher than that of the Datang rice seed. The Datang rice seed has a yield of only 200 kilograms per mu. However, this true wax rice seed has a yield of 300 to 400 kilograms per mu, and it is ripe for two a year. Conservatively estimated that the yield per mu is more than three times that of the Datang rice seed..."

Li Mu seemed to be back to the state of when he was selling and planning a case with his father in his previous life, full of passion. Li Shimin sat behind the table and stared at him blankly. It took him a long time to put it in a sentence: "Li Mu, have you... been a little bit lately..." He raised his hand and pointed, without saying it clearly, but expressed his meaning very clearly: Are you brain-related?

Li Mu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I am telling you a major matter that concerns people's livelihood and the country very seriously! Why don't you pay attention to it at all? You look like a wise ruler!"

"Oh, I don't think I'm going to see you all come out." Li Shimin smiled speechlessly, "Li Mu, this is not a matter of a wise ruler or not. It's the things you said... Alas! Well, I'll tell you if there is nothing to do with you."

Li Shimin asked Eunuch Gao to bring a chair. Li Mu sat down. Li Shimin said, "There are no monarchs in all dynasties who do not care about the matter of people's livelihood. Food is the most important thing for the people. If the people cannot feed themselves, the country will be unstable. Unless they are the kings who are destroyed, how can they not care about it?"

"But care, it's not like you. Let's talk about the rice seeds for now, just talk about the 'potato' you mentioned two days ago, which is said to have a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu. Li Mu, do you think this is possible? The best land planted with no more than two stones, less than two hundred and fifty kilograms. This is already recorded, the highest yield, and it must be a good year. If you open your mouth, you will say 3,000 kilograms. Who can believe this? Even if it is an immortal grass and immortal seed, it is impossible!"

Li Mu was extremely tired. He really wanted to yell. I didn’t brag. Potatoes can produce 3,000 kilograms per mu! When he was riding the light rail in his previous life, he listened to the news reported on the light rail that the new variety of potatoes in a test field in Northeast China set a record high of 10,600 kilograms per mu. Although this is a variety cultivated under specific conditions, his potatoes are still a systemic creation. Even if they are not so powerful, can’t they be able to maintain a bottom? It’s okay to have three thousand kilograms!

There is also this rice. When he was studying in his previous life, the textbook of "Geography" said that the rice yield per mu was about 400 kilograms. This is the data from 20 years ago. In recent years, rice seeds have been constantly improving. It is common for high-quality paddy fields in the south to produce 500 kilograms per mu. The impression in his mind was still at this level. Therefore, he asked the Yu family's doctor's yield in the Tang Dynasty in the morning. When he learned that the yield per mu was only 200 kilograms, he was really surprised.

This shows how much contribution Professor Yuan Longping has made. Thinking of the time travel novels I read in my previous life, what is the use of wearing this one and that? If Mr. Yuan had traveled through time, China would have long been at the top of the world.

Although Li Mu did not have the skills of Mr. Yuan, he was in the same mood. Since the yield of rice seeds in the Tang Dynasty was low, isn’t it a good thing to introduce real-wheat rice seeds? The most important thing is that although the yield of potatoes is high, he is not used to potatoes. The most direct benefit of introducing rice seeds is that it can solve his own eating problem.

But he never expected that Li Shimin would not believe it at all. This is really exhausting. Do you want him to show his identity as a time traveler and tell Li Shimin, Your Majesty, I have been from a thousand years later, and you have long been gone in the world. You can just listen to what I say. I'm just asking so many things!

While Li Mu was slandering, Li Shimin continued to preach: "... Let's talk about this Zhenla Prince, Li Mu, you are still too naive. Do you think what he said is the truth? He just found out that you are interested in seeds and devote yourself to your preferences. Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall. Everything has seasons, how can it be two in a year? Isn't this contrary to the time? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Li Shimin advised with great sincerity: "You have been clamoring for too much and being tired. You should just keep your mind in mind and take care of your own affairs. The people in the court will worry about this matter of grain and people's livelihood..."

"My Your Majesty!" Li Mu said angrily: "Why don't you believe me? Every word I say is true! I'm anxious!"

"You have a specialty in your profession. This is what you said in "Teacher's Talk", right? Since you understand this principle, why are you confused when doing things? As the emperor, I naturally have to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. You have done a very good job in the Ministry of Works. I feel at ease with you and have a strong trust in you. Has it been a little hindering to you? But I think you should not worry about diplomatic relations and farming, okay?"

Seeing Li Mu sighing speechlessly, Li Shimin said again: "The Tang Dynasty cannot control the affairs of Zhenla Kingdom. There are two reasons. The place where Zhenla is located is more than ten thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention Zhenla, it is also a barren land in Qiongzhou and other places of the Tang Dynasty. There are not many people, and there are miasma. Who will go to that kind of place except for the exile of criminals? Besides, the Tang Dynasty is a country above the Heavenly Kingdom. Small countries like Zhenla, Funan, and Linyi should be treated the same as the Tang Dynasty. If you help one country and attack one country, you will be criticized by others, why don't you understand?"

"Oh hey..." Li Mu was so anxious that his mouth was about to blister, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what I am going to do, and I don't care about what I am criticized. I only have one principle when doing things, that is, the interests of the Tang Dynasty are supreme. As long as things are beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, I should not do anything. Your Majesty, you said that rice seeds are fake, but why didn't you think about it, what if it is true?"

"One crop of rice per year, the yield per mu is 200 kilograms. Two crop of rice per mu is 700 kilograms. How many people do you have to support? People support scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and all industries are all based on this. I think even if it may be fake, it will be cost-effective to give it a try!"

"Why are you so stubborn?" Li Shimin was a little annoyed, and said, "Okay, just like you said, it's okay to give it a try. Then tell me, where are you planted with rice seeds? Although I don't know the farming, I also know that if you want to have a good harvest, farming requires good weather. There is no winter in Zhenla Kingdom, and the four seasons are like spring. They can harvest twice a year. Can our Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes!" Li Mu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, just in the barren land you mentioned, the climate there is the same as that in the Zhenla Kingdom. They can harvest twice a year, and we can harvest twice a year! If it really doesn't work, we will occupy Zhenla and Funan to farm specifically for the Tang Dynasty. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"You!" Li Shimin was so angry that he said, "Great righteousness...forget it, I can't explain this to you!"

Li Shimin hummed and sulked. He didn't say anything for a long time. Li Mu didn't say anything. The two of them stared at each other and confronted each other.

After a while, Li Shimin finally thought of another reason and said, "Li Mu, let's be calm. If you don't mention the ones just now, you are right. I think you are right. Have you ever thought that even if you occupy Funan and Zhenla, let them farm for the Tang Dynasty. After planting, we will transport them back?"

"Zhen La went to the Tang Dynasty, thousands of miles away, jungles were everywhere, mountains were high and dense, and miasma was ripe. Have you ever heard of 'No woodcutter' for a hundred miles, and no woodcutter'? The loss of the journey was more expensive than the rice you transported. Are you so good at doing business that you can't even understand this?"

"Of course I think of these!" Li Mu said confidently: "Your Majesty, we can build ships, build large ships, transport rice to the Yangtze River along the coast, and then go upstream-"

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu like a fool: "What did you say? Build ships, transport seas? In, transport rice from seas? How big is that ship? Can you build it?"

"Make it!" Li Mu looked like a stubborn person, and he was firmly in the railway. He had overturned the drawings for half a night in the system last night. The largest ship drawing in the system was called [Treasure Ship]. The introduction states that the treasure ship was Zheng He's voyage to the West, forty-four meters long and eighteen meters wide. However, this is a master-level drawing and cannot be made in a short time. But the ship of Small No. 1, or Small No. 2, and Three can be made."

Even if you only build the "four hundred materials" eight oar boats that can be made by intermediate carpenters, transporting rice along the coast is not a problem. Li Mu's current carpenter skills have reached the intermediate level and are almost full. If he works hard to reach the advanced level, he can use the [Secret] to create the secrets of the intermediate level [Eight oar boats]. At that time, a group of shipbuilders will be copied in batches, and it will be able to form a scale in a few years.

But he could not explain these words to Li Shimin. Therefore, in Li Shimin's view, Li Mu is just talking about his dreams now.

He was too lazy to bother with Li Mu and said, "Anyway, I won't listen to you in the matter of true la. I can't send troops or interfere. I don't believe in the rice seeds you said. Now the treasury is empty and the north is unstable. We must also beware of the Western Turks, Goguryeo Tubo, Tuyuhun and others. How can we care about things thousands of miles away? Don't mention this matter again, I won't be sure!"

When Li Mu heard this, his stubborn temper also came up and said, "Your Majesty is not allowed, I have to dry it too! Rice seeds must be introduced into the Tang Dynasty, rice must be planted, and potatoes must be planted. I have already bought 10,000 acres of land near Dingxiang, so I will plant potatoes, and I will plant 10,000 acres of potatoes!"

"The little brat is messy again!" Li Shimin saw Li Mu's stubborn eyes and knew that he had made up his mind. He was too familiar with this look and said angrily: "Whatever you do, I don't care about you. But the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not allowed to move, and the aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty cannot accompany you to make trouble, and you can't even think of a soldier or a soldier!"

"If you don't help, you won't help! I'll do it myself!"

Li Mu turned around and left, but Li Shimin didn't stop him. He was already very angry.

When he arrived at the door, Li Mu stopped and turned around and said, "Your Majesty doesn't believe me today. If you have food to use, don't try to get it in vain!"

"I am rich in the world, not just tens of millions of fertile land, I don't need you!"

"There is no need to pull it down, and I won't give it to you!"
