"Uncle, let's go after breakfast!" The sky in the east had just turned white, and Li Xiu stood in front of the gate and kept him.

"No, I'm upset now and I need to go back and have a good rest!" The bearded guest said in a bit depressed and depressed manner. After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Li Xiu to answer. He seemed to have endless Xiao Suo in his back.

"Huh? What a familiar scene. Why do uncle always leave after he comes to my house and gets a big blow?" Li Xiu looked at the lonely back of the bearded guest and said in surprise. After talking to him for a night last time, he left in a daze the next morning. It seems that his horoscope must not match his own Feng Shui.

At that moment, Li Xiu was about to turn around and go back to take a break, but he didn't expect that the bearded guest who had walked away turned around and turned back again. Then he strode to Li Xiu and asked anxiously again: "Xu'er, are you sure there is really a grain yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu in the Americas?"

"Uncle, don't doubt it. My nephew dares to use the head of the neck as a guarantee for this matter!" Li Xiu said with a serious face. The yield of tens of kilograms per mu is indeed true. Potatoes and sweet potatoes may produce tens of kilograms per mu. Of course, he did not make some things clear. For example, the yield of tens of kilograms is under modern conditions such as fertilizers in later generations, and it is still wet, not the weight of drying like wheat.

"There is really a grain yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu. How is this possible... How is it possible..." After getting Li Xiu's confirmation again, the bearded guest still looked suspicious of life. He murmured and turned around, and staggered away slowly. It seemed that the blow this time was even more serious than last time. I really don't know if he dared to come to chat with Li Xiu in the future?

At that moment, Li Xiu returned to the bed with some fatigue, and wanted to make up for his sleep. After all, to fool him last night, it was wrong, to discuss the importance of American plants with the bearded guest. He spent a lot of effort. Later, he also revealed to the bearded guest that gold was abundant in America, but the other party seemed to be confused by the four words "a million pounds per mu, and he didn't care much about gold.

Li Xiu was lying on the bed and was almost asleep, but at this moment a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, which made him wake up suddenly. He jumped up and put on his shoes and ran to the new yard, because he suddenly remembered that he promised Princess Pingyang yesterday that he would plant flowers and plants with her today, and now he is probably late.

Sure enough, when Li Xiu came to the new yard, he saw that Princess Pingyang had already arrived. He was carrying a bucket of water to replenish the flowers and plants planted yesterday. However, because her foot injury had not healed, it seemed very difficult to water it. This made Li Xiu hurriedly come forward to take the bucket from her hand, and said with some blame: "Princess, your injury has not been completely healed yet. Don't do these heavy work. Go and have a rest. I'll do these things!"

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang also showed a quiet smile, and didn't say anything. She obediently let go of the bucket, then walked to the side and sat on the steps to watch Li Xiu work, her eyes full of a gentle smile.

Li Xiu also knew that Princess Pingyang was looking at him, but he did not feel any discomfort. He carried the bucket and watered the flowers and plants of yesterday again. In the end, although he was so tired that he was full of magic, he always had a faint happiness in his heart.

After Li Xiu finished watering, Princess Pingyang stood up again to help Li Xiu continue to plant flowers and plants. Today, Qi Niang did not come with her, and the only two of them were in the yard. Coupled with the conversation yesterday, the two of them felt a little warmth when they were together, as if they even had a hint of sweetness in the air.

"Why didn't the princess ask me why I was late today?" Li Xiu suddenly spoke. He was late today and he had been trying to explain, but Princess Pingyang didn't ask, so in the end he couldn't help but speak on his own initiative.

"Person Li must have delayed other things when he came to the evening, I can understand." Princess Pingyang smiled again. Although she was decisive and heroic on the battlefield, she was usually a gentle and virtuous woman when she was at home and was very tolerant of the person she loved.

"Thank you for your understanding. My uncle was drunk yesterday and rested at my house. He woke up in the middle of the night and talked with me all night. He didn't leave until this morning. I accidentally slept just now!" Li Xiu said embarrassedly. This was the first time Princess Pingyang took the initiative to make an appointment with him, but she was still late. If she was in the future, the girl with a good temper would turn against her.

"Quangyan is one of the rare heroes in the world. Captain Li will definitely learn a lot when interacting with him more!" Princess Pingyang smiled again when he heard Li Xiu's explanation. Although she had only seen Qiuyanyan, she also heard about his deeds.

"Well, I told my uncle yesterday that there is a continent called America in the extreme east, where it produces several types of grain crops, two of which yield acres of up to ten thousand kilograms per mu." Li Xiu did not explain anything, but just smiled and said softly.

"Ba~" When Princess Pingyang heard the four words "a million kilograms per mu", a peony in her hand also fell to the ground. Her eyes were full of incredible when she looked at Li Xiu. After a while, she said with a dry voice, "Is there really a grain that produces per mu mu in this world?"

"It is true, but it must be the most fertile field, and this crop produces a kind of rhizome, so wet weight can only be calculated. If it is dried, it may be only about six or seven thousand kilograms in the end." Li Xiu said with a smile. He did not need to have any reservations for Princess Pingyang.

"Six or seven thousand kilograms! This yield is enough for my father to worship the world. Now the wheat yield is only 100 kilograms? Two hundred kilograms? The best fertile land is only 3 or 400 kilograms, and it also requires careful cultivation. If there are crops with a yield of 6 or 7,000 kilograms per mu, I will never worry about hunger in the Tang Dynasty!" Princess Pingyang also seemed extremely excited at this time. She had absolute trust in Li Xiu and would not doubt the authenticity of his words.

Seeing Princess Pingyang excited, Li Xiu smiled gently again and said, "Princess, the yield of these crops is second-class. For example, among the crops with a yield of 10,000 jin per mu, there is a crop called sweet potato, also known as sweet potato. It not only has high yields, but also has extremely low requirements for land. Even in barren mountainous land or saline-alkali land, sweet potatoes can survive, but the yield is relatively low. Moreover, it grows underground and its resistance to natural disasters is much stronger than that of wheat and rice. Hail and locusts pose a threat to it, but it will not cause a fatal blow!"

Li Xiu smiled again and said that compared with potatoes and corn, sweet potatoes have stronger adaptability, and do not have high requirements for soil, temperature, etc., and are very suitable for the climate of the Central Plains. This is also the reason why sweet potatoes were vigorously promoted in the Qing Dynasty in later generations. Even the Qing Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years and the population was almost half due to sweet potatoes.

"This... this is simply a magical thing given to me by God. Since Li Zhengwei knows the location of the sweet potato, we should report it to our father as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to get it, so as to benefit the people of our Tang Dynasty!" Princess Pingyang said anxiously at this time. Years of military career have allowed her to see too many hunger and disasters, and the root of all this is food. As long as the problem of food is solved, almost half of the problems in the world will be solved.

"Princess, don't worry, I just said that sweet potatoes and other crops are on the American continent in the extreme east, which is separated from my Tang Dynasty by a vast ocean. Even if you find a route, it will take a month or even several months to reach. Although my Tang Dynasty has a navy, there is no such talent for ocean navigation. Even if you report it to Your Majesty, it may be difficult to reach America!" Li Xiu comforted that Princess Pingyang's performance was much better than the bearded guest. It is estimated that the bearded guest's mind is still in the midst of the opportunity.

"Even if the difficulties are great, my Tang Dynasty must find a way to reach that America and bring sweet potatoes and other things back. With this thing, I don't know how many people will live because of it in the future!" Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows at this time, and her originally soft face also showed a bit of heroic spirit, which also made Li Xiu stunned. This may be what Princess Pingyang looks like on the battlefield.

"The Americas must go, but it does not necessarily have to rely on the power of the court. My uncle, the bearded guest, originally lived in Japan, has many sea boats under his command, and there are definitely many crew members with rich sailing experience. So I think it is not too late to reach America through him to get back those high-yield crops and then offer them to the court!" Li Xiu finally expressed his plans at this time.

"Queen Bearded Guest? Can he really reach America?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but say in surprise when she heard this. No wonder Li Xiu had to chat with Qiuge for the whole night.

"Hehe, I was worried that even if he knew that there were high-yield crops in the Americas, he would not be willing to take risks. However, judging from his performance last night, I can be sure that he would go!" Li Xiu said with a smile. Yesterday he told the Qiuyan Guest about sweet potatoes and other crops, just to see his reaction. If he was indifferent to this, then Li Xiu would have other remarks later until he was moved by him. However, the Qiuyan Guest's performance made Li Xiu's subsequent preparation useless.

"That's great, but I think I'd better report to my father first. If the bearded guest is willing to go, it's best for the father to reward him and give him some other support, which is more guaranteed!" Princess Pingyang suggested again at this time. After all, this matter is related to the food and clothing issues of the people in the world, and she dare not take action without authorization.
