Li Chengqian was very anxious, this was beyond his understanding.
Du He was very calm. He pointed at the piles of ugly-looking glass around him and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't panic. It was impossible before, but now that I, Du He, am here, nothing is impossible."
!”
Li Chengqian stared at the glass and said in disbelief: "This glass is so stiff, how is it possible to grow vegetables?"
He thought he was going to break the glass and use it as fertilizer and throw it into the soil, and vegetables would grow.
Du He smiled and asked, "Your Highness, you don't believe it?"
"I can't believe it. This matter is simply an unprecedented anecdote!"
"How about," Du He stared into Li Chengqian's eyes and smiled as warmly as the spring breeze, "How about I make a bet with His Highness?"
Li Chengqian asked curiously: "Bet? What kind of betting method?"
Du He revealed the bet: "If I win, how about your highness agree to be the director of this agricultural research institute?"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, "What's so difficult about this? Well, I agree!"
In fact, Li Chengqian had long heard that Li Ke held multiple positions in Hu County, and he was envious of him.
But I never had the chance.
A good opportunity is right in front of you now!
Du He looked at the excited Li Chengqian and added: "Don't worry, Your Highness, it is not easy to be the director of this agricultural research institute. First of all, you must be able to endure hardships. Secondly, you must have major innovations and have a pioneering mind."
, Third, and the most important point is to have a dedicated heart. Your Highness must ensure that he will work at the research institute for more than ten days every month, and that he must invest at least two thousand dollars every month in agricultural research."
Li Chengqian blinked, "If I understand correctly, from now on, I will have to come to the farm for more than ten days every month, and I will have to send at least two thousand dollars? The time is not a problem, but it needs to be like this
How much is it?”
Du He said seductively: "Your Highness, this is wrong. What do you mean by needing so much money? I can tell you for sure that this little money is just a drop in the bucket. Research is very expensive. Your Highness, do you know why there are thousands of talented people in the Tang Dynasty?
There are thousands of people, why am I the only one who invented glass that is more advanced than colored glaze?"
Li Chengqian shook his head: "I don't know, please enlighten me!"
This was exactly where he was confused.
In today's Tang Dynasty, black powder, explosive packets, hot water tablets, coal stoves, white pigs, potatoes, glass...etc., countless new things have appeared one after another, which is dazzling.
However, all these things were created by Du He.
It is said that the world is now at peace, and the Tang Dynasty is full of talents, including civil and military talents, who are the best in the world.
But no one is as dazzling as Du He.
Li Chengqian had always regarded Du He as his enemy before, but when he came to the farm, he realized that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well and could not be compared with Du He.
So he became humble and eager to learn. Whenever he could find agricultural books, he would find them and study them carefully. At this time, he seemed to have opened a door to a new world. Facing the vast sea of knowledge, he worked tirelessly to study it.
The more I search, the more I feel ignorant.
Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it is knowing. Only now did Li Chengqian truly understand the meaning of this sentence.
Is Du He's achievement today due to talent? Is it luck? Or...
This is the doubt in Li Chengqian's heart.
So he looked at Du He eagerly, wanting an answer.
Du He said slowly: "The answer is simple, because I have money!"
I have money!
It's that simple!
It makes me feel rich and wealthy when I say it.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment.
He thought about countless answers in his mind, but he didn't expect it to be this one.
Having money is nothing!
But in this world, besides Du He, who else dares to say this confidently?
Li Chengqian was shocked for a long time, and then he nodded.
"Okay, I know. I will make a bet with you. If you can really grow fresh vegetables, I will serve as the director of the Agricultural Research Institute and promise to come to the institute for at least ten days every month and deliver at least 10 vegetables every month.
Two thousand guan!" Li Chengqian said confidently.
He didn't believe that Du He could grow fresh vegetables in the cold winter months.
Du He patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, we will wait and see. Go and eat. Remember to eat more. You must be full."
Li Chengqian scratched his head, turned around and walked out, muttering: Strange, why do you have to eat so much?
After Li Chengqian left, the old man came over.
Du He asked: "Old Fu, how much does the Agricultural Research Institute spend each month during this period?"
The old man replied: "Master, there are only a few people in the Agricultural Research Institute, and the monthly expenses are less than the usual amount!"
Du He nodded: "This won't work. How can we produce research results without spending money? Starting from next month, we will increase the funding for the Agricultural Research Institute to two... no, five dollars!"
The old man was stunned: "Master, what about the two thousand guan sent by His Royal Highness every month?"
Du He thought for a while and said: "After excluding the funds, the remaining one thousand nine hundred and ninety-five dollars should be sent to the headquarters of Dream Group. Now that the new headquarters is under construction, there is a shortage of money everywhere. What you can save is worth it!
"
The old man was dumbfounded: "Master, but that money, didn't you just say that you need to burn money to conduct research? What can you get out of five guan per month?"
"Shit, did I ever say that?" Du He turned around and stared at the old man, "With too much funding, we can only raise a bunch of people with nothing but food and drink. It is very poor to do research. You will have to sit on the bench for ten years. Even with this
If you don’t have the energy, why do you do research?”
Old Fu nodded repeatedly: "The young master is right, everything the young master says is right!"
"That's right!" Du He liked Lao Fu's upright character.
…
Li Chengqian was full.
While eating, he kept remembering Du He's advice.
Why should we eat enough?
He couldn't figure it out.
In order to verify the confusion in his heart, he deliberately ate two more bowls of rice.
"belch……"
Li Chengqian burped and staggered back to the yard.
Du He stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, are you full?"
"Well, I'm very full!" Li Chengqian nodded.
"Do you feel full of strength now?"
"That's right!"
Du He turned sideways and said: "That's right, Your Highness, let's start working! Follow me!"
Li Chengqian followed Du He outside with a confused look on his face, and soon came to a flat and spacious land near the Agricultural Research Institute. He saw hundreds of craftsmen working non-stop, and the sound of clanging sounds kept ringing.
In front of me, a frame similar to a house has been built out of wood.
Du He pointed at the frame and introduced: "Your Highness, the next step is to get all the glass up and install it. These craftsmen are clumsy and cannot do this well. If a piece breaks, it will be priceless! Your Highness's soul
You are deft and clever, so it’s up to you to do this!”
