The promotion of wheat at the beginning is actually to prevent spring drought disasters in the middle and lower reaches of the river.

Moreover, at the beginning, the way to eat wheat was not to grind it into powder, but to eat it directly like chestnut rice.

The promotion and development of northern chestnut rice, southern rice and wheat were actually very limited at the beginning, otherwise, it was in the history books of previous dynasties.

It will not happen frequently, and the ministers advised the emperor to promote wheat cultivation technology to where to go.

After all, Li Chengqian grew in Guanzhong most of the time, so it is normal that he has no good feelings for wheat.

Even in some places in this time, wheat is considered to be poisonous, but the layer of wheat bran outside the wheat can detoxify.

So when eating wheat, you must eat it with wheat bran so that you will not get poisoned.

There are also records of "wheat, slightly poisonous" in medical books.

This is obviously because the ancients did not have enough understanding of wheat. In fact, generally speaking, wheat in the north is not poisonous.

The reason is that it is not easily affected by gibberellosis, which is a disease caused by wheat, and in severe cases, this disease can even harm the human body.

Therefore, when you encounter wheat with gibberellosis, don’t eat it, otherwise you will get poisoned and maybe this is how it spreads.

In ancient times, perhaps because someone ate such wheat, he ended up being poisoned occasionally.

Speaking of this, it should be the reason why Li Chengqian doesn’t understand why Yaoyao wanted to grow wheat.

Wheat itself is a food that only the poorest and most poor people will eat. When eating, it is difficult to swallow the wheat bran. The key is that the wheat grains are slightly poisonous.

No one will eat this thing when put in Guanzhong. If it is given to the soldiers in the army, eating this kind of food will probably affect morale.

Although everyone now understands the way to detoxify, that is, when eating pasta made from wheat, you must bring soup to eat it. But there is still no future in planting this.

Facing Li Chengqian's questions, Yaoyao didn't know that everyone had such a deep prejudice against Xiaomai.

Perhaps, she had some errors in estimating Xiaomai's position in everyone's minds.

In this era, it should be just in the process of wheat gradually replacing chestnut rice and becoming the overlord of the north.

Because the ancients did not have enough understanding of wheat, they eventually believed that wheat was poisonous.

This is probably the same as puffer fish being poisonous.

But don’t eat it if it’s poisonous?

You need to eat it even if it is poisonous! Who told you to be poor?

The literati and officials were poisonous to eat pufferfish, which was to seek irritation. The people were poisonous to eat wheat because they did not have to go hungry.

"Well...but how do you explain to Li Chengqian?"

Forget it, she was too lazy to explain. Anyway, people in this era know how to detoxify themselves.

However, in order to prevent gibberellosis from killing people again, this feeling is still something to say.

Yaoyao didn't know that his hands were still blisters, otherwise he would have written on the letter that I would blow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it would not hurt.

For the foreign ministers of the Eastern Palace, the current crown prince perfectly matches their image.

It's no worse than His Majesty.

It can be foreseen that there should be no foolish monarch in Beichen for at least a hundred years.

But there is also one thing that makes foreign ministers pay great attention to.

On this day, the left concubine Zhang Xuanqing said to Yu Zhining, who is also the left concubine,: "I see that postmen often come in and out of the Prince's bedroom. Did it come from Chendu?"

In fact, when he asked this at the beginning, he didn't think too much about it. He was just a little curious about what urgent things Chen had.

But if there is really an urgent matter, then the Crown Prince will definitely tell them.

However, after receiving the letter from the postman's quick horse, the Crown Prince seemed to sink into the sea. Therefore, Zhang Xuanqing asked this question just now.

Yu Zhining heard the other party's words and said to the other party: "I don't know where the letter came from, but this is no longer a day or two."

Yu Zhining did not say that it was most likely the letter from the Crown Princess.

Actually, he guessed it all, but if he said it like this, it wouldn’t make Zhang Xuanqing anxious with such a bad temper.

He and Zhang Xuanqing had no grudges in the past and had no grudges in the past, so there was no need to release such news to the other party, allowing the other party to collide with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

What's more, haven't you seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do well now?

Because they all do so well, what is this important thing for communicating with the Crown Princess from time to time?

Of course! This is indeed a waste of manpower in the station. But the emperor's grandson was only less than three months old. His Royal Highness was a father for the first time, so it is normal for human beings to care more about this aspect.

In addition, the Crown Princess became a mother for the first time.

Hearing Yu Zhining's tone that didn't care much, Zhang Xuanqing didn't care much either. However, he didn't care about it and didn't care about it. But after thinking about it, he still felt that there seemed to be something tricky.

In this way, after days of observation and inquiries from others, I gradually learned the truth of the matter.

But just like Yu Zhining's attitude, His Royal Highness now loves the people as much as his son, and he really can't blame him.

"Forget it! Let Your Highness go for the time being."

Li Chengqian received Yaoyao's letter again, and the letter also mentioned the cause of wheat poisoning.

"I didn't expect that it was because wheat had a disease, which not only could lead to reduced wheat yields, but also could also threaten people themselves."

"In addition, the characteristics of this disease are rare or occasionally occur in the north, while the south is more likely to occur than in the north."

Um...

But why did he feel that after reading it, she knows everything!

Is there really nothing she doesn’t know about in this world?

Just...

Afterwards, Li Chengqian summoned everyone and prepared to talk to everyone about the wheat.

First, we should throw out the problem that wheat is said to be toxic and see what everyone thinks.

really!

Because most people here come from Guanzhong, they naturally don’t have a good impression of this wheat.

It tastes much worse than chestnut rice.

Not to mention comparing with white rice.

There was even one from the south who also said: "Your Highness, the wheat rice is rough. In our south, no one eats it, nor does anyone want to plant it."

"Do you know why this wheat is poisonous?"

The Zuo Shuzi Zhang Xuanqing also said: "This is because wheat is planted in autumn and ripe in summer, and it is difficult to stop the heat. Only by not removing the wheat crumbs outside and cooking it for rice can you avoid the heat from the noodles. However, the wheat rice made in this way is not delicious. Like bean soup, it is all the food of savage farmers."

"So that's it!" Li Chengqian also said.

After a pause, he continued: "This trip has made me more clear about the lives of the people. However... Zhang Zuo Shuzi seemed to know only one thing, not the other."

Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Chengqian said: "In fact, there is no so-called noodles with heat poison at all. It is just that the farmers and people are poisoned and sick after eating sick wheat. Just so, after our wheat is planted next year, you will try it together. If it grows smoothly," he added later.

And the ministers looked at me, I looked at you...
