Soon, Eunuch Wu summoned all the guards patrolling the Prince's Mansion.

Li Chengfeng also went to the blacksmith shop and found 12 iron hoes, then packed them with wooden sticks and distributed them to the twelve guards.

Return to the Zhenwang Mansion.

Li Chengfeng said: "Patrol guards of the Prince's Mansion, I have summoned you today because I actually need your help for something!"

"Have you seen the wasteland behind the courtyard of my town's palace? Your task today is to clear the wasteland for this prince, do you understand?"

"Yes, the Eighth Prince! I will definitely serve the Eighth Prince well!"

The leader of the bodyguards spoke respectfully to Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Okay, don't say that I will treat you badly! When you clear up all the land in the backyard, I will reward each of you with 1 gold!"

"Yes, I have thanked the Eighth Prince!"

The guards had excited expressions on their faces.

They work as guards in the palace, and their monthly salary is only eight silver coins. But as long as they open up wasteland for the eighth prince, they can get one gold coin. Doesn't this make them happy?

This is the territory of the Zhenwang Mansion. Since the Eighth Prince asked them to open up wasteland, they can just do it!

…

Soon, 12 guards went to the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion to clear up wasteland under Li Chengfeng's instructions.

There are more than ten acres of planting area here. If all the land is cleared, all the food seeds Li Chengfeng purchased from the system should be able to be planted.

After the news about Li Chengfeng's land reclamation in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion reached Li Shimin's ears.

Li Shimin was instantly shocked.

This little brat knows how to mess around all day long.

Don't go to Wenxuan Pavilion to study, and do some weird tricks every day?

"Humph, Wei Zheng, come with me to the Prince's Mansion to see what the Eighth Prince is up to now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng arrived at the Zhenwang Mansion.

The sound of 'The Emperor has arrived' sounded, and Eunuch Wu hurriedly came out to greet him. Li Chengfeng also walked from the bedroom to the hall and said, "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

Seeing Li Chengfeng's naughty look, Li Shimin suddenly felt helpless.

He can't be beaten again and again, and he can't be scolded again and again.

What if I quarrel with the Eighth Prince and this kid says, Li Shimin, you are shameless, then Li Shimin really has no face at all!

Moreover, this was not the first time that Li Shimin was scolded by Li Chengfeng's name, so thinking about it, Li Shimin even felt a shadow in his heart.

But Li Shimin was still very lucky that Li Chengfeng was able to save Princess Changle on Chang'an Avenue.

So speaking of it, Li Shimin still owed Li Chengfeng a favor!

"Feng'er, why did you ask the guards to dig up the backyard of the Prince's Mansion?"

Li Shimin continued with a straight face: "Feng'er, don't you know that a garden will be built in the backyard of Prince Zhen's Mansion in the future! You dug it all up? What are you going to do?"

"Replying to my father, I want to grow food in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion!"

"What? Growing food?"

Li Shimin was a little surprised.

Then, he raised his head and smiled hoarsely, saying: "Your Majesty, it turns out that I wrongly blamed you! However, the food has been grown by the people of the world, so there is no need for you to worry about it! Besides, it's just the Prince's Mansion.

This backyard is a bit too small for growing food, so you should not open up wasteland randomly for the time being, right?"

"No, no, no, Father, you misunderstood me!"

Li Chengfeng frowned and said: "Father, I flew from the Prince's Mansion to Chang'an Avenue a few days ago! There, I witnessed the suffering of the people! The rich are rich and the poor are poor! It can be said that it is.

, Zhumen’s wine and meat stink, and they will starve to death on the road!”

"What?"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Li Shimin was instantly shocked, but Wei Zheng on the side did not dare to say anything.

They usually live in the palace, how do they know what the lives of ordinary people are like?

However, when Li Chengfeng went south to Chang'an City a few days ago, he saw at a glance the essence of people's lives?

Can this not shock Li Shimin?

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng continued: "Father, I once saw old people and children who were naked and hungry on Chang'an Avenue, but the wealthy people passing by turned a blind eye to them.

I can’t stand watching this scene any longer! So I plan to personally study some food that can be mass-produced!”

After listening to Li Chengfeng's words, Li Shimin felt mixed emotions in his heart and even felt a little ashamed of himself.

It turns out that Li Chengfeng flew to Chang'an Avenue not to play, but to inspect the suffering of the people, and he also dropped off Princess Changle by the way?

I wonder if there is such a prince who cares about the world, who else is there in the entire palace?

If the position of crown prince had not been established, Li Shimin would have wanted to directly support Li Chengfeng as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

But there is another thing about Li Chengfeng that worries Li Shimin, and that is his character.

This child has such a naughty personality. Although he is smart, he seems to like teasing others and is not willing to take soft and hard advice.

Therefore, Li Shimin felt that making Li Chengqian the crown prince and Li Chengfeng the king of the Tang Dynasty should be the most perfect ending!

"But your Majesty, how can you improve the people's food supply by yourself?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengfeng replied, smiled, and said: "Father, you don't need to worry now! My son has liked to develop some food seeds since he was a child!"

Li Chengfeng took Li Shimin to the edge of the four generations of food seeds in the hall and said: "Father, look! These four generations of seeds are: potato seeds, sweet potato seeds, watermelon seeds, and hybrid rice seeds! If I put these

If the food is grown and then made into seeds and distributed to the people of the Tang Dynasty, then the food they grow in the coming year will definitely increase greatly!"

"Oh? Is that really the case?"

"Of course!"

Li Chengfeng nodded confidently.

"My son once saw the difference between rich and poor among the people on Chang'an Avenue! If even Chang'an City, the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, has countless beggars and a homeless life, then those people in Youzhou City and Xuanzhou City

The place is more than just that? There will only be more people suffering there! So Erchen plans to personally develop the seeds of these ingredients and then distribute them to the people! He does not want them to be rich and powerful, but only wants them to have enough food and clothing.

worry!"

"Okay, okay! Feng'er, my father wrongly blamed you!"

Li Shimin pursed his lips tightly, but for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

These were things he was supposed to do, but he unexpectedly asked Li Chengfeng to do them?

Therefore, regardless of whether Li Chengfeng's experiment succeeded or failed, Li Shimin felt that he had to support the eighth prince's idea.
