Corn as thick as a child's arms were piled between the ridges.

Soon, acre of corn was picked.

With experience, Li Shimin asked Li Kuan to arrange hundreds of people to go to the ground to pick corn in one breath.

Anyway, this job is not difficult, and it can be done by anyone.

"Your Majesty, one thousand two hundred and twenty pounds!"

"This acre is 1,110 kilograms!"

"This acre is quite powerful, it's 1,310 kilograms!"

Soon, the yield of ten acres of corn as Yangben was counted.

Although you have seen the yield of potatoes, now a corn equivalent to that of potatoes appears in front of everyone, which still has caused a relatively big impact.

It is probably only Li Kuan who feels a little regretful.

Because the weight is now in the state of just being picked.

After the corn is dried, it will probably become at least 30% to 40%.

In other words, the current corn yield is about seven or eight hundred kilograms per acre of land.

Compared with later generations, it is almost half the difference.

But there is no way to do this.

The corn seeds from later generations were specially cultivated.

There is definitely no way to compare with the current ones.

"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, all the rewards from all officials in the court were issued in a new way of distributing corn seeds.

I want the Tang Dynasty to promote corn cultivation on a large scale starting from next year.”

Without any hesitation, Li Shimin made up his mind to promote corn planting.

Moreover, in order to improve the efficiency of promoting corn cultivation, Li Shimin started directly from the nobles this time.

After every nobleman has separated, there are basically thousands or tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

As long as the nobles in Chang'an City are willing to promote corn cultivation with all their might, all the seeds can be digested.

As for whether some nobles would not cooperate, Li Shimin had no worries at all.

No one is a fool.

Although there is no corn on the market now, the price of corn of the same weight is definitely higher than that of corn and wheat.

At this time, planting one acre of corn, the yield alone is equivalent to planting three acres of corn.

Coupled with the advantage of corn prices in a short period of time, one acre of corn field next year may not be able to obtain five times the income from ordinary farmland.

Will these nobles be foolishly unsupported?

"Your Majesty is wise! The number of people farming in Guanzhong is decreasing now, so it is indeed necessary to promote high-yield grains such as corn.

Even after the potato planting in Zhenbeidao is promoted, the Guanzhong area can also grow potatoes on a large scale."

Changsun Wuji first expressed support for Li Shimin's opinions.

According to the plan given by Li Shimin now, the Changsun family will definitely be the party that makes a profit.

"I haven't seen the other uses of corn yet, but it obviously has a broad application prospect.

I agree with the promotion of planting in Guanzhong.”

Fang Xuanling also rarely expressed the same view as Changsun Wuji.

There was no way, and he had to agree.

"Your Majesty, there is a problem with this. These corn fields are from His Highness the King of Chu's mansion, not from the court. If Your Majesty disagrees with your method, wouldn't it be impossible to implement it?"

Gao Shilian said this in a slight way, which made Li Kuan frown.

The Gao family is completely standing opposite the Chu Prince’s Mansion.

This Gao Shilian will regret it sooner or later.

How easy is it to dig a hole for Li Kuan?

"Kuan'er, what do you say?"

After hearing Gao Shilian's words, Li Shimin couldn't help looking at Li Kuan.

As an emperor, to a certain extent, Li Shimin still values ​​emotions.

Gao Shilian is Changsun Wuji's uncle, and they are people on the same boat.

Now that he has started fighting with Li Kuan, Li Shimin is not willing to favor Li Kuan blindly.

"Your Majesty, I fully agree with your plan. As for the price of selling corn, it should be calculated based on twice the corn."

"Your Highness, you are too unscrupulous, right? The yield of a mu of corn is several times that of corn. Now your price is twice as high as that of corn. Doesn't it mean that the output of a mu of corn is higher than that of five or six mu of corn?"

After hearing Li Kuan's offer, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but jump out.

"It's vaguely expensive, and it's normal for corn to be a little more expensive now."

Li Kuan and Changsun Wuji have arguing each other once or twice.

Of course, he would not be confused just because Changsun Wuji, who is of high position and powerful, questioned him.

"Cores will eventually be promoted among ordinary people. If the seeds are so expensive, how can they be promoted then?"

Changsun Wuji obviously didn't want to see the Chu Prince's Mansion making a lot of money so easily.

"The more expensive the corn is, isn't the enthusiasm of the people to grow corn more high?"

"I can't even afford to plant it, what's the use of enthusiasm?"

"This is very simple. After expanding the scale of corn planting next year, the price of corn will naturally fall next year.

At that time, a batch of corn should also be planted in Changsun’s mansion? It is also possible to provide it to the people of Chang’an City for free, which is accumulating some good deeds.”

Li Kuan would not stay if he was against Changsun Wuji.

After saying this, Changsun Wuji was so angry that he died.

"Your Highness the King of Chu can exchange for tens of thousands of acres of corn for this simple corn field, which really makes everyone feel very moved."

At this time, Gao Shilian also interrupted.

Li Kuan was too lazy to argue with them and directly came up with a plan.

"Your Majesty, the corn that was exchanged for this corn field is willing to donate to the team that built the cement roads from Luoyang to Guangzhou, so as to reduce the burden on the court."

Li Kuan and Li Shimin have already mentioned the construction of this cement road.

But a few days have passed and Li Shimin has not made a decision yet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Kuan simply pushed for another move.

"Your Highness, what's the truth?"

Without waiting for Li Shimin to say anything, the Minister of Revenue Tang Jian jumped out first.

Although compared with the tens of millions of dollars in the construction of the entire road, the donation proposed by Li Kuan is nothing.

But if you really do it carefully, it will actually be equivalent to tens of thousands of coins.

This is no longer a small number.

The most important thing is that after Li Kuan opened this head, will other nobles also need to build this road? What does it mean?

You can raise hundreds of thousands or even millions of chunks of money by just a little bit.

Then the pressure from the Ministry of Revenue this year has suddenly become much lighter.

Li Shimin talked to Tang Jian about building this road.

Although it has not been finalized to build it yet, Tang Jian has a premonition that construction will start next year.

It is very difficult to completely give up the idea of ​​building roads when trying to build roads, whether it is Li Shimin or the officials in the court.

"Of course, take it seriously! Today's harvest can be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue to handle it."
Chapter completed!
