I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 173
Li Er issued an order that all officials, as long as they have greenhouses in their homes, should plant potatoes.

This incident puzzled everyone. Everyone’s greenhouses are full of precious things, including exotic flowers and plants. This potato is clearly a kind of crop. Isn’t it a waste to put it in the greenhouse?
Li Chengqian shook his head when he heard the news, Li Er was really impatient, he thought of such an idea with immediate results.

In this way, potatoes can indeed be bred for many generations in a short period of time. After all, without a greenhouse, potatoes only last one season a year.

With a greenhouse, you can plant as long as you want to grow throughout the year, and potatoes generally only need three to four months to mature, and you can grow them in a greenhouse for four seasons at most in a year!

This is terrifying. It can greatly shorten the time for potatoes to be promoted across the country, and even next year, potatoes can be grown near Chang'an.

Once farmers start planting potatoes, the breeding rate of potatoes increases exponentially.

"Wonderful! This move!" Li Chengqian sighed.

Fang Xuanling was the first to respond to the call. That's not accurate, but it was actually Fang Jun's credit.

After Fang Jun found out about this, he rushed into his greenhouse and was about to smash all the flowers and plants inside.

Fang Yi hastened to enter the door to block the house Yiai.

"Yi love! Don't smash it! You smashed these precious flowers and plants of father, I'm afraid father will go crazy!" Fang Yi said straight.

Fang Jun: "I don't like these things for a long time, and I can't eat them. I have to serve them every day. I think I am the master of our family? I will let them know today, who is the master of our family!"

Fang Yizhi: "Okay, okay, then you can talk about it when Dad comes back. There's no point in smashing them now. Dad likes them. When the time comes, cleaning them up in front of Dad is the greatest punishment for them."

Fang Jun thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He put down the mallet in his hand.

Fang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, the flowers and plants were safe, and his father was also safe. He was very suspicious that his second child would make such a fuss, and he would probably drive his father to death.

Fang Xuanling came back.

"Master, Master, hurry up and go to the greenhouse. Something bad is going to happen. The second young master is going to destroy the greenhouse." said the housekeeper.

Fang Xuanling almost lost his temper. His hard work in the greenhouse did not last for a day or two, it was all his painstaking efforts!
The housekeeper quickly supported Fang Xuanling and headed to the greenhouse at home.

Seeing that the conservatory was okay and nothing happened, Fang Xuanling felt relieved.

"Yai, what are you going to do?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Father, the sage ordered us to plant potatoes in the greenhouse. I just want to smash all these useless flowers and plants and plant potatoes." Fang Jun said.

Fang Xuanling: "My beloved! I can understand if you want to plant potatoes, but it's okay to keep my flowers and plants together with the potatoes."

"Dad, why don't you listen to the saint?" Fang Jun said.

"Who said I wouldn't listen? My greenhouse is indeed intended to grow potatoes, just plant them, and put all these flowers and plants here." Fang Xuanling said.

"Isn't it very crowded, can't it grow well?" Fang Jun said.

"I found out clearly that potatoes are an easy-to-grow crop. As long as they are planted, they can grow and they also like shade. This greenhouse can be grown no matter where it is." Fang Xuanling said.

Fang Jun was surprised: "Really?"

"Really." Fang Xuanling said.

Fang Yizhi: "Brother, you have suffered from being uneducated!"

Chengfu.

Cheng Yaojin is already tidying up the greenhouse at home, he doesn't like the flowers and plants here.

It's just that other people are doing house warming, and it's unreasonable for him not to do it, so he does it.

Now, Li Er ordered them to plant potatoes in the greenhouse, Cheng Yaojin was naturally very happy.

"Father, why do you like potatoes?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Cheng Yaojin: "Who said I like potatoes? The name sounds rustic, and I don't like it." Cheng Yaojin said.

"Then why did you put away all these flowers and plants? Isn't it just to make room for your favorite potatoes?" Cheng Chu said silently.

"Shit! These flowers and plants are too difficult to take care of, and I can't let my servants do it. It seems like I don't like it, and it's arty. Now, potatoes are here, this is a good opportunity!" Cheng bites Golden Road.

Cheng Chumo: "Potatoes also need to be planted. Growing them is still very troublesome."

"No matter how troublesome it is, how can there be trouble with these flowers and plants? After all, they grow in the fields, how can they be so precious?" Cheng Yaojin said.

Cheng Chu thought about it for a while, and this is indeed the truth, potatoes are easy to feed.

In every house, no matter what the reason is, everyone is very enthusiastic about potatoes.

There are exceptions.

Changsun House.

Changsun Wuji: "Hey, I have pity on these rare flowers and plants! They are all collected at a high price. Now, this greenhouse needs to grow potatoes, what should they do?"

Chang Sun Chong: "It's simple, just build another greenhouse? Wouldn't it be great to have one planting potatoes and one planting flowers?"

"Nonsense! Didn't you listen to the sage? All the greenhouses! Newly built greenhouses must be planted with potatoes!" Changsun Wuji said.

Changsun Chong: "It seems that we can only mix the species. I don't know if it will have any impact."

"There must be an impact, I just hope it's not too big." Changsun Wuji said.

Soon, every family came to Li Chengqian to receive potato seeds, Du He and Fang Jun were the first to come.

"My father told me that these potatoes of yours like shaded places, so he wants to plant your potatoes in a place with poor sunlight in the greenhouse. I don't know if he is right, so I didn't smash his flowers and plants. You said, right?" Fang Jun asked.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he sighed. This guy was very loyal. When he heard that he was going to plant his potatoes, he actually wanted to destroy all the exotic flowers and plants at home!

"This is indeed the case. Potatoes are not things that grow in the sun. As long as there is a little light, water and fertilizer are the best." Li Chengqian said.

"What is water and fertilizer?" Fang Jun asked.

Li Chengqian: "You take the potatoes back, your father will teach you."

"Okay!" Fang Jun agreed.

Du He: "I have nothing to say. I just turned a house into a greenhouse. No one in my family used to do this kind of greenhouse."

Li Chengqian: "If you don't have it, don't waste the money! Are you stupid?"

"Isn't this to give you more momentum? Your potatoes need everyone to plant them together to make them appear powerful."

"alright."

He told the two of them the specific planting steps and the usual management, and gave each of them a basket of potatoes to take back.

The greenhouses are actually not very big, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to keep warm. The basket he gave was enough to plant a whole house of potatoes, and there were even some leftovers. As for what to do with the rest, of course it was just a taste.

For those who came to ask for seeds later, he gave appropriate seeds. If the relationship is good, give them more to let them try something new. If the relationship is average, give as much as they want.
