Hanjing, Zhao Wangfu.
The crown princess returned to her hometown to save her relatives, and the Li Mansion was lively and festive.
Although Li Fanghua is a dignified princess, when she arrives home, she also has to meet her father Li Chao and her mother Thirteen Niang first.
This is also the difference between the Tang Dynasty and later generations, Li Chao used to see the Red Mansion, Yuanchun Province, and when he returned home, a group of elders such as his father and mother at home wanted to worship Concubine Yuan.
In the Tang Dynasty, whether the daughter is the crown princess or the daughter-in-law is a princess, they all have to be honored in the order of the eldest and youngest.
At the time of the Northern Dynasty, this was not the case at that time.
Hu Feng was very prosperous in the Northern Dynasty, the emperor's daughter married into her husband's family, and her in-laws had to worship the princess.
But in the Tang Dynasty, this atmosphere was corrected.
During the Zhenguan period, at the suggestion of Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other prime ministers, Li Shimin particularly emphasized that the Tang Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so the princess married her husband's family and needed to pay homage to her uncle.
Datang's aunt is also the in-laws, from now on, when the princess gets married, the in-laws don't have to go to greet the princess, but just sit and wait for the princess and daughter-in-law to come to visit.
Just like now, Li Chao's daughter married into the East Palace and became the crown princess.
The crown princess has a very high grade in the palace, and the Tang Dynasty has internal and external women, and the internal women are palace concubines.
The queen and the princess are super high-quality, and the four concubines are the first product.
The crown princess is second only to the queen and above the four concubines.
"A Daughter Meets Her Father" Xia Hua entered the door and first knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chao and his wife.
Li Chao smiled, her daughter seemed to have grown taller again, her body had grown a little longer, matured, and more noble.
Cui Yingying couldn't help but get up and help her daughter up, her daughter was in the palace, and it was rare to go back to the door once.
Although sometimes Xia Hua will send someone to summon Li Chao and his wife into the East Palace to meet each other, they rarely meet, and they are not as cordial as they are at home in the palace.
Dad also accepted Xia Hua's visit, and also got several gifts from Xia Hua, although Dad is now worth millions, but he still smiled when he received the gift of his eldest granddaughter.
The seventy-year-old father is still strong, although his hair is almost white, but his face is full of red.
Dad's fiefdom is in Liaoxi, close to Liaodong, drinking ginseng flags all year round, and now living a chic life, no worries about frequent exercise, but the longer the better.
"After the New Year, Xia Hua is also fourteen, and it has been a year since she entered the palace, why hasn't her stomach moved?"
asked Li Chao quietly.
The granddaughter entered the palace as the crown princess, and the father was very proud.
But seeing that Xia Hua came back this time, he still didn't have a big belly, and he was a little anxious.
Li Chao already knew that his daughter had already had sex with Cheng Qian, and for this reason, he once scolded Cheng Qian in person.
But the little young couple, this kind of thing can't be controlled for the first time.
For this reason, Li Chao had to find a skilled craftsman to make a batch of sheep intestine sets and send them to Cheng Qian.
Before Xia Hua was sixteen years old, they could have sex together, but they had to wear condoms for contraception.
Cheng Qian was not very happy, and was scolded by Li Chao, but he agreed.
's daughter is not pregnant, Li Chao is not in a hurry at all, and she is quite at ease.
Xia Hua is still too young, and pregnancy is not a good thing at this time.
As for giving birth to a son early and consolidating his position early, Li Chao is not afraid.
His Li Chao's daughter is the crown princess, who will threaten his daughter's status.
Xia Hua has the posture of the eldest sister, although he is actually the third in the family, but he is also the eldest daughter in the family.
And she is the first eldest sister who has already married, and when she comes home, she is busy giving gifts to her younger siblings.
Cheng Qian didn't come back today, although he is now being locked up by Li Shimin to study in the East Palace, but at the end of the year, there are still many occasions where the prince needs to attend, even if he just puts on a show in the past, he can't be absent.
"Xia Hua, it just so happens that a few crops from the East Continent America in our greenhouse are ripe, and Dad will cook a few American meals for you today."
"I've heard about corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other Eastern Continent crops, are these things really so amazing?"
Li Chao smiled and said, "These are treasures, when the seeds are cultivated, we will plant a large number of them in the future."
Corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are drought tolerant and have high yields, and corn is as good as sorghum, but the corn produced is not comparable to sorghum.
Li Chao was very excited when he talked about this.
Very early on, Li Chao thought about sending people to the Americas.
But at that time, the conditions were not mature, and after the shipbuilding technology and navigation technology were greatly improved, Li Chao also began to recruit expedition members and let them go on expeditions.
Originally, Li Chao's plan was for the expedition to sail along the northeast coast, through the Bering Strait to North America.

However, many groups of expeditions set out before and after, and it took a lot of time to make no good progress.
The main reason is that the route is not familiar, especially the harsh climate over there, and many of the natives there are still barbarians, which makes it difficult for the expedition to progress.
Even if someone finally succeeded in crossing the Bering Strait, the ice and snow in Alaska still made the expedition team stay strong.
Later, Li Chao recruited a number of expeditions and pointed them to a bolder route, crossing the Pacific Ocean to South America.
This route is equally difficult, because there is no ready-made route, and every distance traveled is costly.
In the end, one fleet succeeded, and it took them another five years to reach the other side of the ocean on the rich route left behind by the previous failed teams.
Arrived in the Americas.
Explored there for a few years and then came back again.
When I went, a team of several hundred people, and when I came back, because of illness, conflicts with the natives, storms, etc., only a few dozen people came back in the end, but fortunately, they gained a lot.
They have explored many places on the west coast of South America and even reached North America.
Not only did they bring back some of the American natives, but they also brought back a lot of Pacific island natives, and they also brought back many American and Pacific crops.
Among them, there are corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which Li Chao has been looking forward to.
Li Chao dedicated these things to Li Shimin as treasures, but Li Shimin didn't seem to care too much.
Maybe it's because Datang doesn't lack land or food now.
However, Li Chao knew that with the concept of the Han people's prosperity of descendants and family reproduction, especially the inevitability of the development of agricultural civilization, the population growth would inevitably be rapid.
There is no shortage now, and it will definitely be needed in the future.
In particular, corn and potatoes are drought tolerant, and in many water-scarce places such as the northwest, it is good to grow this.
Li Chao himself also left a lot of seeds, and he has a greenhouse, so he has already started cultivating them.
"You have a good chat with your mother, you are not at home, but she often misses you."
I took a basket and went to the glass greenhouse in the back garden.
It is lush and green, with all kinds of out-of-season vegetable crops, and now the Li family's greenhouse has been newly expanded several times.
"Oops, this tomato is really red, and it's quite big."
Li Chao liked it, stretched out his hand and picked more than a dozen in one go, and after a while, tomato scrambled eggs, tomato soup, and tomatoes mixed with white sugar, even raw eating is not bad.
A few ridges of peppers that day also grew very well.
The big green peppers, the long line peppers, and the small but long Chaotian peppers, the red and green, the big and the small, are all very fresh and tender, and Li Chao picks them all one by one.
These peppers are much stronger than the wild peppers produced in Yunnan, and those who like to eat spicy peppers are blessed in the future.
Stir-fried meat with chili peppers is also delicious.
Then I changed to a greenhouse, in which a few ridges of corn grew very tall, and the tassels on the tender corn were not old, and the steamed ones were the most delicious to eat at this time, and they could also be stewed in pork rib soup.
There is also a batch of old corn harvested some time ago at home, which is reserved for seeds, but when my daughter comes back today, she can also get some to eat first.
Corn grinding noodles are good for making corn porridge and corn nests, and it can also be made into corn crepes, which is also delicious.
The potato seedlings over there are also growing just right, and when the soil is peeled away, the potatoes below are already many beans the size of goose eggs, and a few are dug up.
At noon, you can eat sour and hot shredded potatoes, shredded potatoes with green peppers, fried french fries, fried potato chips, mashed potatoes, and fried small potatoes.
Potatoes are a good thing, both as vegetables and as food.
The way to eat is multi-purpose, and it is also full of hunger.
The pumpkin vines over there are spreading just right, the yellow pumpkin flowers are in full bloom, Li Chao picked a few handfuls, and you can fry a pumpkin flower for a while.
A turquoise pumpkin with white spots is half-hidden and half-exposed under the leaves, Li Chao picks it off, and stir-fried the pumpkin for a while.
Although this pumpkin is not old, the tender pumpkin is also quite delicious.
Of course the old pumpkin has powder and is sweeter.
Well, get something more There are peanuts, pull out a few handfuls, and then get a salt to cook peanuts, and the wine is just right, Daddy must like it.
There's sweet potatoes over there.
Looking at the green leaves, Li Chao couldn't help but pick a few handfuls first, and after a while, this sweet potato leaf removed the leaves and left the stems, trimmed and peeled, you can fry a plate, and the crispy ones are also very delicious.
When the soil is peeled apart, the sweet potatoes inside are also ripe.
Li Chao dug a few sweet potatoes first, and then found a white potato.
Sweet potatoes are delicious when steamed and eaten, and they can also be boiled and eaten, and they can be boiled to make syrup.
And the white potato flour is abundant, which is suitable for roasting.

Of course, sweet potatoes can also be eaten raw or chilled with sugar and vinegar.
Looking at the basket full of American dishes, Li Chao was satisfied.
When leaving, seeing the ridges of tobacco in a corner, Li Chao didn't know whether it was right or wrong to cultivate this.
Back in the kitchen, tie up your apron and start picking vegetables.
Xia Hua took the initiative to come to the kitchen to help, in the past, at home, she often worked as a cook for her father, staying in the kitchen, feeling very kind.
Cui Sanniang, Ke Qiniang, Du Shiniang, Zheng Wanyan, Lu and a group of women are also used to it.
They all put down their shelves and sat in the kitchen to help pick vegetables, and they were amazed by the variety of new vegetables.
"No wonder it's called corn, the fruits on this cob really grow like jade grains."
Summer flowers marveled.
"It's not just beautiful, it's delicious.
Tender corn can be steamed and eaten, or it can be used to stew soup, which is very sweet.
When the corn is old and dried, it can be ground into cornmeal, used to steam corn nests, or cook corn porridge and make tortillas, which are very delicious.
"Li Chao is like a treasure.
"Can this still be ground into flour?"
"Of course, this thing is as easy to grow and live as sorghum, but it has a high yield.
Do you know that even in the yellow soil that is lacking in Guanzhong, the yield per mu can reach seven or eight hundred catties.
If it is in the fertile land of the south of the Yangtze River, it can even be doubled again. ” "Note that I'm not talking about a cob, but a threshed dry corn kernel."
"It's impossible, it's so high, then who will still grow millet and wheat, they will all grow corn."
Zheng Wanyan was amazed.
Li Chao put a few peeled tender corn cobs on the plate and prepared to put them into the steamer.
"In the arid northwest, even on the plug, it is indeed more cost-effective to grow corn than to grow wheat grains."
"That's pretty impressive."
Lu Shi looked at the heavy corn cob in his hand and couldn't help but marvel. t1706231537:
