Manna Hall.
Li Shimin looked at Wang Jian with satisfaction.
Although he is young, he is calm and composed, with the composure and composure that remains unchanged despite the weight of Mount Tai.
"Wang Aiqing, what are you going to do about sweet potato crop breeding?"
The national treasury is now very empty, and the pressure for disaster relief is very high.
Li Shimin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Now that there are crops like sweet potatoes that can produce thousands of kilograms per acre, he can’t wait to promote them to the entire Tang Dynasty and let all the people grow sweet potatoes.
Wang Jian replied in a low voice, "The spring breeze is still cold now. When the weather warms up at the end of March, the seeds can be officially planted."
"Yes." Li Shimin stroked his beard and nodded.
Duan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has some experience in crops. He asked two questions in succession.
"How many kinds of this can be produced in a year?"
"Is breeding troublesome?"
The climate in the north is very cold, and crops are basically harvested once a year. .
Unlike rice grown in the south, it can be harvested twice a year.
Whether crops can be promoted on a large scale, the convenience of breeding is very important.
Faced with questions from the top boss in the department, Wang Jian also explained in an orderly manner.
"You can plant two types of sweet potatoes a year."
"Sow the seeds at the end of March, and you can have the first harvest in early July."
"Sow the seeds in July , the second harvest can be harvested in November."
Regarding the breeding of sweet potatoes, Wang Jian repeated what he had said to Fang Xuanling before.
"When planting sweet potatoes, you can directly insert potato seedlings, which is very convenient."
"It's just that there are no saplings at present, so we can only use sweet potatoes to cultivate seedlings. The sowing area in the first season will be small. "Some."
"When we sow in the second season, the planting area will be hundreds of times larger than in the first season."
Next, Duan Lun asked a few more questions about sweet potatoes. .
Wang Jian has clear ideas and answers one by one concisely.
From Wang Jian’s answer, everyone knows that he is very accomplished in sweet potato cultivation.
Wang Jian’s outstanding performance made everyone present extremely satisfied.
"It's organized, very good!" Li Shimin cheered loudly for Wang Jian, and then smiled and said to Duan Lun, "Duan Aiqing, it's really a blessing for your Ministry of Industry to have Wang Aiqing here!"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." Duan Lun replied respectfully with a smile on his face.
Wang Jian is a person under his Ministry of Industry, and his achievements are also his achievements as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
At this time, Fang Xuanling also spoke up.
Fang Xuanling looked at Duan Lun jokingly.
"Duan Shangshu, you have to watch Wang Jian carefully. He is also quite talented in the military."
"Wang Jian also holds the post of head of the Ministry of War. When General Li Jing comes back from the border, he may steal people from you."
Wang Jian's strategy for solving the Turkic problem, Fang Xuanling also told Li Shimin.
For a candidate who is close to all-round talents, Li Shimin seemed to see the shadow of Li Jing in Wang Jian.
It not only has the means to enrich the people, but also has certain military strategies.
Yu Zhining continued to hit the target.
"Duan Shangshu and Wang Jian are also extremely talented in poetry and poetry."
"Not only Master Dou, the Minister of Rites, but also Kong Yingda and Yu Shinan are also very coveted. Ah! "
Facing Fang Xuanling and Yu Zhining's words, Duan Lun also felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
An idea came to his mind.
"We must keep an eye on Wang Jian, but we can't let him go to other departments to shine."
Let him pamper those from the Ministry of Industry!
Seeing the harmony between his ministers, Li Shimin always had a smile on his face.
Calling these people over, apart from understanding the problem of sweet potato breeding, the most important thing is the prince's education.
Li Shimin pointed at Yu Zhining and introduced Wang Jian.
"Wang Aiqing, this is Yu Zhining, the new crown prince Zhan Shi."
Fang Xuanling was previously acting for the crown prince Zhan Shi because he was too busy.
So last month, Li Shimin promoted Yu Zhining to Prince Zhan Shi, specifically to teach Li Chengqian.
Ma Zhou introduced Wang Jian to the post of Prince Zhan Shi, an official position of the third rank, equivalent to the six ministers.
The prince Sizhi named Wang Jian was also under the control of Zhan Shifu.
For the highest official directly under the Prince's Mansion, Wang Jian stood up and saluted him.
"The prince is responsible for his duties. I have met Mr. Yu."
"No need to be polite." Yu Zhining waved his hand kindly without any airs.
After introducing Yu Zhining, Li Shimin looked at Yu Zhining and Wang Jian and said with a straight face.
"Yu Aiqing, Fang Aiqing, do you have any ideas on how to assist the prince?"
Currently, those who teach the prince include Lu Deming, Li Gang, Kong Yingda and others. .
Maintaining the operation of the Prince's Mansion and assisting the Prince in political affairs are the affairs of Zhan Shifu.

That is what Yu Zhining, Wang Jian and others will do in the future.
Yu Zhining was the first to answer.
He answered politely, and what he said was nothing more than straightforward advice, strict teaching of the prince, and prevention of the prince from going astray, etc.
"Well, Yu Aiqing is right." Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.
When Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, Yu Zhining was TianceHe worked as a lieutenant in the government and concurrently served as a bachelor of literature.
Li Shimin highly recognized his knowledge and ability.
Otherwise, he would not be promoted to specifically assist the prince.
Then Li Shimin looked at Wang Jian, wanting to hear what this young man thought.
"Wang Aiqing, tell me your opinion."
Wang Jian did not answer directly.
He stood up, bowed his hands, and then asked Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, what is the difference between captive tigers and tigers in the mountains?"
Li Shimin had doubts on his face, but he still answered Wang Jian's question.
"The tiger in the cage has been docile for a long time, but the tiger in the mountain has become a little more wild."
Wang Jian clapped his hands and said, "What your Majesty said is my opinion."
"Captive tigers will lose their ferocity and will not be as good at foraging as wild tigers after all."
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Wang Jian continued.
/p>
"He doesn't have to be good at everything, but he still has to understand it roughly, so that he can be clear-minded."
Wang Jian did not hide such a good performance moment, pretending to be reserved. .
Speak out your thoughts directly.
"What a sentence, but it is easy to read on paper!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
Wang Jian’s words spoke to his heart.
After much consideration, Li Shimin plans to let Li Chengqian, who is under 12 years old, go to the Shangshu Province to hear the case this year.
Began to exercise Li Chengqian's political ability as a prince.
What Wang Jian said coincided with his thoughts.
Li Shimin immediately ordered, "Wang Aiqing, let Gao Ming follow you in the planting of sweet potatoes."
Since the first sweet potato was dug out by Li Chengqian, Li Shimin asked him to continue until the end. , also went to learn to grow sweet potatoes
This was the first brick he laid for Li Chengqian's reputation.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Jian bowed quickly and responded.
With Li Chengqian around him, not only would he not be in the way, but he would be able to have smoother flow.
Li Shimin got the result he wanted and was in a very happy mood at the moment.
He half-leaned on the chair comfortably and took a sip of hot tea.
"By the way, Xue Rengui, Erdan and the other four warriors, are they also in your mansion?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.
In addition to Wang Jian in Majiazhuang, these four young men who massacred the Turkic cavalry were also of Li Shimin's concern.
"Already at Wei Chen's residence." Wang Jian answered with cupped hands.
Li Shimin lowered his head and considered it for a moment, then said with a smile.
"Fang Aiqing recommended the four of them to Li Jing's staff, but Li Jing is guarding the border and will not return to Chang'an until May."
"It is better to let them go to Youwuwei for training temporarily. , and we will make arrangements when Li Jing comes back."
Li Shimin immediately called Wang De in and asked him to send someone to tell General Cheng Yaojin of Youwu Guard.
Xue Rengui and the four of them will report to Youwuwei tomorrow and let him make arrangements.
At this time, Wang Jian stood up and whispered.
"Your Majesty, there are five people in total, and a new one has been added, a madman who kills talented people and makes them talented."
Hearing this famous reputation, Li Shimin asked curiously.
So Wang Jian briefly told the story of how a horse became a talent.
"What a crazy killer! I, Wen Neng, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, wrote to bring peace to the world, and Wu Neng mounted his horse to settle the world!"
"I allow him to go to the Youwu Guard together."

Li Shimin was so proud that he agreed with a wave of his hand.
"On behalf of the five of them, I would like to thank Your Majesty." Wang Jian bowed to thank you, and then said with a worried look on his face, "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."
Li Shimin immediately waved his hands and said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter."
It would be best for him to have a request from the minister.
There are comings and goings, and the monarch and his ministers are harmonious.
"Weichen Yaodi is 11 years old this year. Let's see if we can let him study in the Imperial College." Wang Jian bowed and said.
Yaodan’s studies cannot be stopped even after leaving Majiazhuang.
The best school in the Tang Dynasty was the Imperial College, so Wang Jian wanted to get him to study there.
Li Shimin naturally agreed to Wang Jian's small request.
"I am the same age as Gao Ming, so I agree."
