Based on the calculation of 500 deniers per mu, [-] mu of fertile land is [-] million deniers, or about [-] million catties of potatoes.

If Li Er knew this number, he would probably faint in shock.

Not only agriculture, Mangya Village has also made great progress economically.

Zhenguan year, July [-]th.

The sun is shining.

Mangya Village.

main street.

Li Erzheng was wandering in the busy city in casual clothes, this was the only place he specially approved that did not require a curfew.

It also belongs to the Datang Economic Pilot Area, although Li Er did not invest half a penny.

But in front of the law, he did give Qin Mu a lot of convenience.

But even though Mangya Village has developed so prosperously, Li Er is still skeptical about it.

There is no other reason. At this time, the agricultural productivity of Datang was very low.

Although the Quyuan plow invented by Qin Mu greatly increased the efficiency of farming.

But this does not solve the problem of low grain yield per mu. Today, the grain yield of Datang is only three to four deniers per mu.

Agriculture is still the foundation of Datang's national strength.

If there are not enough farmers and arable land to support it, no matter how prosperous the economy is, it will be nothing after all.

"Your Majesty, look at how well this Mangya Village is managed by Mu'er. If every city in the Tang Dynasty is like Mangya Village, the Tang Dynasty will never be strong."

Changsun Wuji looked left and right, looking at the crowded and bustling streets, and smiled from ear to ear.

"Auxiliary machine, you are considered an old court minister, why are you so short-sighted?"

The two found a tea stand, ordered a plate of pastries, and sat down.

"Your Majesty, what do you say?"

Changsun Wuji looked puzzled, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Er, and pushed it in front of him.

Li Er picked up the tea, took a sip, and said quietly: "If the Tang Dynasty strives to emulate Mangya Village, who will plow the land? Who will grow the food?"

"I also know that commerce can promote the economic prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and can bring enough profits to businessmen, but the more this is the case, the more we have to curb it. The temptation to earn profits from commerce is too great for the common people."

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are ranked last. It's not that you don't understand the truth, and it's not that you haven't told Qin Mu. Why do you agree with the development method of Mangya Village today?"

"Hehe..." Changsun Wuji smiled awkwardly, "Of course the old minister knows about this. Agriculture is the foundation of a country. No matter how prosperous the economy is, it is a dead letter for a country without the support of agriculture."

"But Your Majesty, the old minister heard that the yield of grain grown in Mangya Village is extremely high per mu. If we promote the planting in Datang, the people of Datang will no longer have to go hungry."

Hearing this, Li Er frowned slightly, and pondered: "You mean potatoes?"

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Your Majesty, you also know about this?"

"Heh." Li Er sneered disdainfully, "Every move in Mangya Village is under my control. What do you think I'm doing here today? Just to see if this potato is real or not."

"Didn't he, Qin Mu, want to apply for a piece of land from me to build some Mangya industrial zone? As long as his potato production per mu reaches [-] deniers, I will agree."

"However, I am skeptical about this matter. Is Tudou really so legendary? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Changsun Wuji nodded hastily, and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, what are we still doing here? Go to the village and find Qin Mu and you'll know."

While the two were talking, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Cheng Yaojin all surrounded them.

A few of them were wandering around the main street just now, and got separated from Li Er.

"Your Majesty, Mangya Village is really a good place. I don't even want to go back to Chang'an City." Cheng Yaojin said and sat down beside Li Er.

Li Er glared at him, without saying a word, stood up and walked towards the village.

"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Changsun Wuji in doubt and said, "Master Changsun, did I say something wrong again?"

Changsun Wuji smiled, "Not only did you say nothing wrong, but you told the truth. It's just that your Majesty doesn't like to hear it."

After speaking, he took steps to chase Li Er.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head helplessly, picked up the teapot, and took a sip, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, I really can't figure it out Your Majesty more and more."

"Is this Mangya Village not good? I think it's very good..."

Chapter 157: This is the foundation of my survival in the Tang Dynasty, no joke

Mangya Village.

Qin Mansion.

Chamber.

Xu Gongqing came from outside the mansion, with a smile on his face, "Master Consort, Your Majesty has led several ministers to Mangya Village, and they are now heading towards the Qin Mansion."

"Your Majesty is down?"

Qin Mu frowned slightly, he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and according to Li Er's character, he must be asking for something.

While the two were talking, Changsun Wuji had already rushed into the mansion first, "Mu'er, look who's here."

Qin Mu stood up and went out of the living room. Li Er was striding forward with a serious face, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

"See Your Majesty."

"See Your Majesty."

......

Everyone stepped forward to salute.

Li Er waved his hand, "Excuse me." Then he went straight into the hall and took the first seat.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and others filed in.

"The general will meet the son-in-law at the end."

"The old minister has seen the son-in-law."

......

Qin Mu nodded, and said in response: "Sirs, you don't need to be too polite, please come inside."

Then Xu Gongqing turned around and left, and sent someone to prepare pastries and hot tea.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you are doing here today?" Qin Mu sat aside and looked at Li Er.

"What?" Li Er looked at him and said quietly, "I'm fine, so I can't come to Mangya Village as a guest?"

"Hehe..." Qin Mu said with a soft smile, "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day. If you have nothing to do, why would you come to Mangya Village as a guest? If you have anything to do, you can speak up."

"You boy." Li Er shook his head helplessly, "Why, I didn't approve the industrial land you declared, are you mad at me?"

"You have to know that I have put enormous pressure on me to lift the curfew in Mangya Village. If you hadn't discovered that Qu Yuanli was meritorious, you wouldn't even be able to pass my test."

"I have told you time and time again that agriculture is the foundation of Datang's development. You started with commerce first, and now you want to do some kind of industry. This is a waste of money."

After opening the chatterbox, Li Er began to chatter.

Qin Mu was unmoved, and murmured: "Your Majesty, you came to Mangya Village today to teach me, right?"

"Haha..." After scolding Qin Mu, Li Er's mood improved a lot, and he continued: "I said this for your own good, of course I came to Mangya Village today, and there is indeed one thing that needs to be confirmed. "

"Your Majesty, are you here for potatoes?" Qin Mu looked into Li Er's eyes and said casually.

In today's Mangya Village, apart from the [-] mu of fertile land that can interest Li Er, there should be nothing else that can attract him.

Moreover, Li Er has repeatedly emphasized the importance of agriculture since he entered the door.

"Qin Mu, you developed agriculture, recruited refugees, and reclaimed [-] acres of fertile land. I haven't said a single word to you, have I?" Li Er didn't answer Qin Mu's words, and began to make friends. Ya Village has been taxed for three years, and now Mangya Village is a village in name, but in fact it occupies more land and population than the city, and I have treated you with the utmost benevolence."

Li Er said, took a sip of the teacup, and continued: "But you are not righteous, you have good things, and you don't know how to share them with me. When did you learn to eat alone?"

Everyone around looked at Li Er and couldn't help but praise him.

After playing with Qin Mu for so long, he finally grew up.

Knowing that you can't use your status as emperor to suppress Qin Mu, but play the emotional card.

"Where did your Majesty start?" Qin Mu frowned slightly, and said in a deep thought, "Is there anything in this little Mangya Village that deserves His Majesty's attention?"

"Hmph." Li Er snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "You kid is still pretending to be confused with me, what's the matter with potatoes that produce [-] deniers per mu?"

"How long do you want to keep this matter from me? If such food is promoted in the Tang Dynasty, the people will no longer suffer from hunger and cold, you know."

Hearing this, Qin Mu smiled, and said quietly, "Your Majesty, there are indeed potatoes in Mangya Village, but there are really no potatoes with a yield of twenty denier per mu."

Hearing Qin Mu's words, Li Er's joy was halved sharply. He looked at Zhangsun Wuji and snorted coldly, "Auxiliary machine, what did I tell you? The yield per mu is twenty deniers. How is this possible?"

"The most fertile land in my Tang Dynasty is only five deniers per mu. I didn't believe it at first. These potatoes, huh..."

After Li Er finished speaking, his face revealed light scurvy, he picked up his cup, sipped his tea, suppressed his shock...

"Mu'er, what is the production capacity per mu of potatoes?" Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Mu, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty said that if the production of potatoes per mu can reach [-] deniers, the industrial land you applied for will His Majesty approved it."

In fact, what Qin Mu lacked was not the piece of land, but the promise of the law. Although he was the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty and made great achievements, the law was not something he could casually violate.

"Now I have lowered the requirements." Li Er turned his head to look at Qin Mu, "Don't say [-] den, as long as you can reach [-] den per mu, I will agree to you."

In fact, the yield of [-] deniers per mu is already extremely high for Datang. If planting is promoted in Datang, Datang's grain reserves can be tripled at least.

Listening to the three people's words, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's eyes all fell on Qin Mu.

They are also very curious about this potato.

Qin Mu glanced at the crowd, and said casually, "There are no potatoes with a yield of [-] denier per mu, let alone potatoes with a yield of [-] denier per mu, but there are indeed potatoes with a yield of [-] denier per mu."

"Heh..." Li Er smiled contemptuously, not paying attention, "What did I say, the yield of twenty deniers per mu is pure nonsense, this is not five dens per mu..."

"Wait!" Li Er looked at Qin Mu, his eyes widened, and he said in astonishment, "How much did you say per mu?"

"Fifty den." Qin Mu said lightly, without any emotion on his face.

"Fifty Den!!!"

A scream exploded in Mangya Village, shocking the heavens and the earth.

"Mu'er, this is not a joke, the yield per mu is [-] den, you can't talk nonsense..."

"My son-in-law, you said that the yield of potatoes per mu is [-] den, which is a little bit..."

"Fifty Dan, my mother, how much grain does this have to produce..."

Rao is a few people who have always believed in Qin Mu's words.

But with these words, everyone subconsciously felt that Qin Mu was talking nonsense.

"Qin Mu, do you know what you just said?" Li Er recovered his mood and looked at Qin Mu with a serious face.

Qin Mu said casually: "The yield of potatoes is fifty denier per mu, I don't need to joke about this with His Majesty."

"But what I heard is that the maximum yield of potatoes is [-] deniers per mu." Li Eryi said righteously.

Qin Mu looked at him, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Then where did His Majesty hear about it?"

"I'm...tsk..." Li Er flicked his sleeves, almost falling for this kid.

After a pause, Li Er continued: "It's this time, who do you care what I listen to? If what you just said is playing tricks on me, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor."

"The auxiliary machine is right. This is related to the foundation of my Tang Dynasty's survival. I can't make a joke."

Chapter 158: Bargaining

"Your Majesty, do you think I'm joking?" Qin Mu tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about how to get some favors from Li Er, the potato must not be given to him for nothing.

Li Er stared at Qin Mu's finger tapping on the table, then looked at Qin Mu's eyes, and thought, "Look at this kid, he doesn't seem to be lying, but he seems to be thinking how to cheat me."

But even though he knew that Qin Mu hadn't held his fart well, he still couldn't restrain his excitement.

Produce fifty deniers of grain per mu, get rich, get rich...

If planting can be fully promoted in Datang, will Datang still worry about food in the future?

something that doesn't exist.

"Mu'er, this potato can really reach [-] deniers per mu? This... this is too amazing..."
