Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Of course I remember. I made a bet with you. If you can grow fresh vegetables, I will serve as the director of the Agricultural Research Institute and work at the Agricultural Research Institute for at least ten days every month.
Give two thousand guan to the Agricultural Research Institute every month.”
This guy remembers it very clearly, absolutely right.
Du He chuckled and said, "Your Highness, now it's time to reveal the answer."
"You mean, fresh vegetables have been grown?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.
How can this be?
Only seven or eight days have passed.
Du He showed a mysterious smile: "Yes or no, yes or no, please come with me, Your Highness."
Li Chengqian followed Du He suspiciously and walked into one of the greenhouses.
As soon as I walked into the greenhouse, a wave of heat hit my face, and four or five men walked towards me, all of them shirtless and dripping with sweat.
These people were busy with tools such as hoes in their hands.
Li Chengqian discovered that there were two large stoves burning at the entrance.
The coals in the furnace burn with a fiery red light.
It was so hot in the greenhouse that coal was being burned.
What's the point?
He continued to follow Du He.
Soon, we came to a square piece of land in the center of the greenhouse.
This small piece of soil is actually full of green.
Li Chengqian hurriedly knelt down and took a closer look. He saw that the lush green plants were young sunflower plants, about one finger high. They were growing very well and would probably grow up in a few days.
He was stunned and turned to look at Du He, speechless.
Du He said with a smile: "Your Highness, look, this is sunflower, a fresh vegetable... Although it is still small, no matter how small it is, it is still fresh sunflower. It will not take a few days to grow up. Look, we
About the bet?"
Swish.
Li Chengqian stood up from the ground and grabbed Du He's sleeve in excitement: "Du He, tell me how you did it? How is this possible? I am familiar with agricultural books from ancient times and have never heard of such a thing.
Something magical.”
In the coldest month of winter, fresh vegetables are actually grown. This is unreasonable!
Heaven and earth are permanent, and they will not exist for Yao, nor will they perish for Jie.
The sky and earth are dark and yellow, and the four seasons are orderly.
Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter stores, this is the ancient truth.
Why doesn't it work when I get to Du He?
Du He saw Li Chengqian's anxious look and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, in fact, this is also a type of agricultural research. I have studied that many vegetable seeds will not germinate no matter how long they are planted in winter.
Naturally, it won't grow. But compared with when it was sown in spring, the soil is the same and the water is the same, so why won't it germinate? After many observations, I found that the only difference is that the temperature in winter is too low and too cold.
, the seeds will not germinate. In this case, it is not difficult to solve this problem. You only need to increase the temperature. So I put the seeds in a room with a hot water heater. The seeds did germinate, but the seeds grew up.
, there cannot be lack of light... It happens that the glass factory has a large amount of discarded glass, which can be used to make a greenhouse with a transparent roof. A coal stove is burned in the greenhouse and watered by humans from time to time every day. All problems are solved and the seeds grow.
There’s nothing strange about it coming out!”
To Du He, these problems are nothing more than child's play.
People in later generations can not only grow vegetables in winter, but also grow bigger and better vegetables.
But Li Chengqian was different.
Every word of Du He's words made him think deeply. He could understand each word separately, but when they were put together, it gave him trouble.
He heard it in confusion and still didn't understand it.
Du He consoled him: "Your Highness, you will be the director of the Agricultural Research Institute in the future. You have plenty of time to do research. Sooner or later you will understand these problems."
Li Chengqian nodded solemnly: "I understand... Du He, I am willing to admit defeat. From today on, I will be the director of the Agricultural Research Institute. I will fulfill the conditions you mentioned one by one."
"Easy to say, I believe that His Highness will shine brightly at the Agricultural Research Institute and benefit the people!"
"Um!"
Du He encouraged him, and Li Chengqian was very confident.
…
Chang'an.
Imperial City, East Palace.
Zhang Xuansu stood by the lake, looking melancholy and sighing.
As the crown prince Zhan Shi, he had been so ambitious before. As long as he could assist the crown prince, it would not be a problem for him to become a general or prime minister in the future.
But now, a good deck of cards has been beaten to pieces by myself.
Although he still retains the position of Prince Zhan Shi, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he has lost His Majesty's trust.
For example, now my duty is still to teach His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace.
But the prince was farming in Hu County.
Your Majesty is well aware of this matter, but has no intention to bring the prince back.
Isn't this a clear sign that he doesn't take Prince Zhan seriously?
Zhang Xuansu was very melancholy and sad.
At this moment, a guard hurried over and said with surprise: "Master Zhang, good news, good news, His Royal Highness is back!"
"What...His Royal Highness, are you back?"
"Exactly, Your Highness has just returned and is currently in the main hall."
"Come on, hurry up, take me to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhang Xuansu was very excited.
He, who just now felt like he was mourning, suddenly saw hope.
As long as the prince comes back, everything will be fine.
I have another chance to show my ambitions.
Zhang Xuansu hurried to the main hall of the East Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Prince Li Chengqian explaining something to his servants. He rushed forward with joy and said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, you are finally back. It's great...
I thought that I would never be able to teach Your Highness again, and every time I think about this, I feel so worried!"
Li Chengqian slowly turned around and said calmly: "It turns out to be the teacher...Teacher, how are you doing lately?"
"It's not good... I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well, but now that I can see His Highness again, everything is fine." Zhang Xuansu said with red eyes, "Oh, Your Highness, what's wrong with your hand? Is it injured?
Did it happen? Is it Du He who did it? Don’t worry, I will go to the palace immediately and report the matter to the Holy One and ask the Holy One to punish Du He severely."
He suddenly saw one of Li Chengqian's hands tied to his chest and was shocked.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said softly: "Teacher, you are worrying too much. This matter has nothing to do with Du He. I accidentally fell down. By the way, teacher, after I leave, you have to leave the East Palace."
Take good care of it from top to bottom and don't make any trouble."
"Leave?" Zhang Xuansu was stunned, "Where is Your Highness going?"
Li Chengqian said happily: "Of course I am going to Huxian County. I forgot to tell you that I am now the director of the Huxian Agricultural Research Institute. I will go to Huxian County for more than ten days every month and do research.
I sent two thousand guan of money, and I am the one who came back to collect the money today!"
