After hearing this, Li Ke hurriedly pointed at himself and asked eagerly: "Father, what about me? What about me...Father, even the prince-in-law can open a palace and build teeth, so am I, the king of Shu?"
Can we also build a Shu palace in Hu County?"
Building a mansion is not just as simple as building a house and putting up a sign. Once you have a mansion, it means you have certain powers.
Although Li Ke now holds dozens of positions, except for the title of King of Shu, all others were given by him and were not recognized by the court at all.
And the title of King of Shu was given to him at birth.
He was too eager to build his own Shu palace.
For example, Li Er's Prince Qin's palace had its own civil servants and military officers, just like a small court.
Once he has his own mansion, Li Ke can build his own team as he likes, which means he has real power. He no longer has to be like now. Although he is in charge of the most powerful city management team in Hu County, he is subject to restrictions everywhere.
County Magistrate Wei Shuyu, this made him feel very unhappy.
Li Er heard this, thought about it carefully, and then said: "Well, the King of Shu assisted Du He in inventing the bald mirror, and I can't favor one over the other, so..."
Li Ke couldn't help laughing immediately.
Finally waited for this day.
Is it easy for me!
Li Er said calmly and calmly: "Let the King of Shu return to Hu County temporarily. There is no need to reflect on his mistakes in the palace."
"What? Father, what do you call a reward? It's better to have nothing at all? You don't have anything, so why don't you give me a reward of two cents or two!" Li Ke shouted in confusion.
Li Er frowned and looked at Li Ke: "What? You feel that I have treated you badly. If so, then you..."
Seeing that Li Er was about to take back his fate, Li Ke shouted loudly: "Thank you, father, for your kindness!"
"get out!"
"Yes! Father!"
Li Ke ran away quickly.
Du He then looked at Li Er: "Father, according to the wishes of the Supreme Emperor, my son will not be allowed to serve as a court official in this life, nor will he be able to obtain a title. If we build the Prince Consort's Mansion, I'm afraid it will attract criticism."
Li Er waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "The Prince Consort's Mansion is just a mansion with no officials. The three provinces will consider this matter themselves."
"Thank you, Father!"
"You go away too! By the way, leave the bald mirror!" Li Er looked at the bald mirror in Du He's hand eagerly.
Du He kept the ugly bald mirror and ran away quickly.
…
Hu County, farm.
Agricultural Research Institute.
Carriages came and went, and people were very busy.
Pieces of glass are stacked in the backyard.
Li Chengqian looked at the people coming and going, looked at the old man who was directing the craftsmen to transport the glass, and asked curiously: "Sinong County, why is this? Just throw away the burned glass in the glass factory.
, why are they piled up in the Agricultural Research Institute and occupying our warehouse? What is the reason for this?"
Li Chengqian took a closer look at the glass, and found that the glass was not in very good condition, with a lot of impurities, and some were even bent or broken. At first glance, it looked like it was damaged and could not be sold.
The old man shook his head: "Your Highness, Prince Qi, I don't know about this. I am only responsible for making room for them. According to Miss Mo, this is all arranged by the young master!"
"Master?" Li Chengqian frowned, "It was arranged by Du He. Could it be that he wanted to cancel the Agricultural Research Institute? Otherwise, why would the glass factory throw waste glass here? It shouldn't be. Although the Agricultural Research Institute
It is not as good as the Food Research Institute, nor is it as good as the newly established Datang Academy of Sciences. However, we have finally made fertilizer. This fertilizer can increase the yield of food. Moreover, planting potatoes after next spring will also require the Agricultural Research Institute.
Why don't you let me do my best? No, I'm going to talk to Du He!"
With that said, Li Chengqian turned around and left.
Just then, someone shouted loudly: "The young master is here!"
Li Chengqian turned around and saw a group of people walking from the gate surrounded by Du He.
Li Chengqian rushed up and said eagerly: "Du He, you came just in time, I am going to find you."
"Oh, it's His Royal Highness. Your Highness, you came just in time, and I happen to have something to ask you." Du He said with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked.
Du He said: "During this period, I heard that His Highness has been working tirelessly on research at the Agricultural Research Institute and has gained profound knowledge in agricultural planting. Therefore, I plan to cooperate with His Highness and grow vegetables together!"
"What?" Li Chengqian asked dumbfounded, "Growing vegetables? What kind of vegetables?"
Du He chuckled, "Your Highness must also know that the queen has been feeling unwell recently and wants to eat fresh vegetables. As the prince-in-law, I am so worried that I can't sleep at night and don't think about food and tea, so I paid 200,000 yuan and offered a high-priced reward.
, if anyone can deliver fresh vegetables to the palace, he can immediately receive a reward of 200,000 yuan."
Li Chengqian nodded: "Of course I know about this matter, but I have been thinking about this issue these days. I am afraid that everyone will be deceived by you."
"Oh? Why did His Highness say this?" Du He asked curiously.
Li Chengqian explained: "I have recently been familiar with ancient agricultural books and talked a lot with old farmers on the farm. I have discovered a truth, that is, all crops grow in season. Spring is planted and autumn is harvested. This is an eternal truth.
No one can disrupt the principle of change. Just like these fresh vegetables, the same is true. You can only plant the seeds in the spring when the flowers are blooming, and they will grow up in a month or two... But today it is freezing cold, and not a single blade of grass will grow.
Not to mention fresh vegetables, everyone only saw the high reward of 200,000 yuan, but did not understand the truth. Naturally, they were deceived by you. And you knew this and deliberately spread the news. No one can find fresh vegetables anyway.
Vegetables, of course no one can take away the reward in the end. You have gained fame and won’t suffer any losses. This is such a great trick!"
Li Chengqian's analysis was very clear and logical.
Du He's face turned green: "Your Highness, in your mind, am I someone who is just trying to gain fame?"
"Is not it?"
"...Your Highness, let's not talk about this matter, let's study growing vegetables. Seeing that these idiots haven't found fresh vegetables after so long, and the queen in the palace can't eat more and more, I feel uneasy
Ah, so, I decided to grow fresh vegetables by myself and send them to the palace to honor the queen!" Du He said with an iron heart.
Planting vegetables now?
Li Chengqian looked at Du He in surprise: "Du He, did I hear you correctly? Are you growing vegetables now?"
"That's right!"
"This is impossible. In this weather, if the seeds are planted, it is impossible to even germinate, let alone grow. I'm afraid that before your vegetables can grow, someone else has already found fresh vegetables and taken away the 200,000 yuan reward.
"Li Chengqian said decisively.
It is simply impossible to grow vegetables in the cold winter months!
