Half an hour later, Liu Sichun, dressed in plain clothes without makeup, came to the Xi Zheng Hall to see Li Chen.
"People's daughter Liu Sichun, see His Royal Highness the Thousand Years Old."
Liu Sichun was still a little uneasy.
She thought Li Chen wanted to ask her about the progress of the salt movement in recent times.
But in fact, the progress of this business is not very smooth.
Since ancient times, this is the first time that a private person has intervened in an official monopoly business. Despite the handwriting of His Royal Highness, she still encountered many difficulties in many details.
Liu Sichun knew that the King of Hell was easy to deal with, so he did not rely on the prince's instructions to be arrogant. When he encountered some joints that needed to be opened, he should give money and give women. As long as the business could be successful, Liu Sichun would not care about it.
What is the means?
But even so, Liu Sichun still encountered great difficulties. Just when he didn't know what to do, the order to summon Li Chen was sent.
Li Chen glanced at Liu Sichun and asked casually: "Come to me."
Liu Sichun was stunned for a moment. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince was not asking about business matters, but was planning something against me?
Thinking of the last time, he almost fell into the tiger's mouth, Liu Sichun felt sad in his heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is currently in power, and he cannot resist it anyway.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Li Chen looked at Liu Sichun hesitating in place, frowned and said, "Come and see if you have seen this kind of plant."
When Liu Sichun heard this, he suddenly realized.
It turned out that His Highness the Crown Prince did not have such thoughts.
Liu Sichun, who was embarrassed by the teasing of his rich heart, hurriedly approached, came to the table, and looked at a freshly drawn sketch.
After just taking a look at it, Liu Sichun frowned and said, "This picture is really sloppy. You can't tell the front and back of it, and the civilian women don't know it."
"This is a painting by me." Li Chen said expressionlessly.
Liu Sichun looked miserable and was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but Li Chen waved his hand and said: "I also drew a few random strokes based on my memory. You travel all over the country and come into contact with many people and new things. You may not recognize them if you meet them."
Yes, if you find it for me, you will be rewarded heavily."
Liu Sichun did not dare to neglect. After apologizing, he took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.
"The leaves of this thing don't seem to be big, but the petioles are broken and long. This root with such a big root...could it be a sweet potato?"
Liu Sichun's words made Li Chen's eyes light up.
"have you seen?"
Liu Sichun did not dare to hide it and said: "In the early years, my father visited the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian. Because it was close to the coast, there were many exchanges with Westerners. At that time, my father had heard that there were farmers in the area who came from Westerners.
I got some seeds and albums of strange crops in exchange for some ceramics and silk items, including this thing called sweet potato."
"I just heard from my father that this thing is not popular, so there are very few crops and fruits. How did the prince know about this thing?"
Li Chen's eyes widened and he said excitedly: "Is there really such a thing? No matter what, you must find a way to get some seeds of this thing, and then deliver them to me as soon as possible. I will give you a heavy reward."
Liu Sichun was keenly aware that this originally inconspicuous thing must have a big secret to make Li Chen so excited.
But she was very smart and did not ask any more questions. She just said: "The daughter of the people also learned from her father that since His Highness needs it, the daughter of the people must try her best to find it and dedicate it to His Highness."
