Chapter nine hundred and sixty-four signature painting
Upon seeing this, Changsun Chong ran to Li Er and pretended to be unintentional and said: "This place is so tightly guarded and so secretive. Could it be that Du He is doing something shameful..."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
These words fell into Li Er's ears, which increased his suspicion of Du He.
I just heard the old man say: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, my young master is right in front."
Li Er saw three figures squatting next to a piece of soil, and walked over.
A closer look revealed that these three people were Du He, Li Chengqian, and Medicine King Sun Simiao.
Li Chengqian was holding a stack of paper in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, recording something seriously.
Sun Simiao was submissive.
Everyone was about to speak out, but Li Er signaled them to be quiet.
So, a group of people stepped forward cautiously, wanting to see what Du He and Li Chengqian were doing.
Du He patted Sun Simiao on the shoulder and said, "Old Sun, are your conclusions okay?"
Sun Simiao said confidently: "Prince-in-law, you don't trust me. In the past few days, I have done many experiments. Except for three of them who had diarrhea, the rest were all effective. There is absolutely no effect."
question."
Li Ke nodded, took the piece of paper from Li Chengqian's hand, and handed it to Sun Simiao: "Old Sun, please sign and stamp it!"
"What do you mean?" Sun Simiao's eyes widened.
Du He explained: "Don't be nervous, I just want you to be responsible for the results of your experiment. If you sign and sign, I will announce it to the world and let everyone in the world know about it. Moreover, this matter will leave your name in history.
The name will be immortalized in the past, and the infamy will last forever... Oh no, you will be famous forever, so don't hesitate."
Sun Simiao asked anxiously: "Prince-in-law, can you not sign and pledge it?"
Du He thought for a while and said seriously: "It's okay if you don't sign or stamp it. Anyway, I won't force anyone to do anything... Your Highness, please calculate for Lao Sun how much raw materials he spent on his recent experiments and how much they are worth!"
Li Chengqian lowered his head and calculated for a while, then raised his head: "Teacher, Lao Sun spent a total of twenty kilograms of raw materials, worth at least three hundred thousand guan!"
Du He stretched out his hand to Sun Simiao and said, "Old Sun, please give me the money. As for the signature and pledge, I will never force you to do it. If you don't want to, forget it."
"Three hundred thousand yuan...I, I...where did I get so much money, consort, you are harming me!" Sun Simiao's face turned red with anger.
Du He waved his hand: "Old Sun, you can't say that. Think about it, when I came to you, I said that doing experiments is very expensive. For example, when the glass factory made glass, it cost a lot of money.
It's several million yuan... But you were curious and insisted on doing the experiment. Now that it's fine, the experiment is done, and you don't give me the money, is this okay?"
Li Chengqian added: "Old Sun, the teacher did warn you back then, and it was you who insisted on doing the experiment... I also know that you have no money, so why not just sign and pledge this conclusion and cancel it with one stroke? You see
how?"
With that said, the master and the apprentice followed the instructions and asked Sun Simiao to sign and pledge.
All the ministers were dumbfounded.
Li Er's veins popped out.
He stepped forward and grabbed Li Chengqian.
"You bastards, what do you want to do? Is there any royal law left in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Er shouted loudly.
Du He was startled. He turned around and saw Li Er. He was startled and saluted hurriedly: "My son, I have paid homage to my father. I haven't seen you for many days. My father's face is rosy and his complexion is very good. I am very happy!"
Sun Simiao also quickly stood up to greet him.
Li Chengqian, however, did not dare to speak and hid behind Du He, cautiously.
Li Er looked furious: "Du He, Cheng Qian, I need an explanation, what were you doing just now?"
Du He said: "Father, we are conducting experiments."
"Doing an experiment? But it requires the signature of the King of Medicine. How can there be such an experiment in the world?"
"It's about peppers. My son and His Highness the Crown Prince finally managed to grow peppers, so they wanted to invite the King of Medicine to come over and see what effects the peppers have. No, the experiment has ended and the conclusion has been drawn. Of course, we need to invite the King of Medicine.
Sign it and tell the world, otherwise wouldn't this experiment be in vain?" Du He explained.
Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat.
What?
Duho has already grown peppers?
Sure enough, looking around, there is a green place all around.
The plants are as high as knees, with small peppers growing on them. Most of them are green, but only a few turn red.
This is chili!
Didn’t that bitch Du He say that his peppers haven’t been planted yet?
Will it take another month to germinate?
fraud!
He suddenly felt scared.
During this time, the Changsun family spared no effort to spread the news about how magical this chili pepper was.
Now, there is no hope for the chili peppers in Sikong Mansion.
If Du He suddenly takes out the chili pepper at this time, it will definitely become a more popular item than the glass, and he can make a lot of money.
No!
Du Ho must not be allowed to succeed.
He immediately stood up and said in front of Li Er: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not. His Royal Highness the Prince left the East Palace and did not return to Chang'an for more than a month. He neglected the government affairs and did not talk about it, which caused the people of Chang'an City to talk a lot.
It undermines the majesty of the royal family, but it is such an unprofessional thing. The so-called peppers, in my opinion, are of no use. They can’t feed people, and they can’t feed people. The people don’t need such things. Now, Du He borrows peppers.
It is even more crazy to embarrass the King of Medicine... The most important thing is that nowadays there are rumors about chili peppers in Chang'an City. Some say that chili peppers can bring people back to life, and some say that chili peppers can cure all diseases. These are all untrue.
If we really take out the chili peppers, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. I request your majesty to immediately order the chili peppers to be destroyed!"
Wang Gui and others said one after another: "Your Majesty, this chili pepper has become a monster. It is misleading the public and confusing people's hearts. It must not be left here."
"Second!"
"I second the proposal!"
Many people agree with Changsun Wuji's view.
As long as the peppers are destroyed, Du He can't make money from it, nor can he use it in exchange for credit.
As long as it is beneficial to Du He, opposition will be enough.
Li Chengqian was anxious and said hurriedly: "My lords, you... you are all wrong. This pepper is definitely not a monster. The pepper is edible and delicious. It would be a pity to destroy it."
Li Er said displeasedly: "Chengqian, Changsun Qing's family is right. You will return to Chang'an immediately. You will not be allowed to leave the East Palace for half a year. I thought you were growing potatoes and researching fertilizers here, but I never thought that you were.
You really disappoint me by doing such meaningless things!"
Li Chengqian wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Li Er.
Li Er looked at the pepper seedlings all over the ground and said: "As for these peppers, they are of little use. If they are released, I'm afraid it will really cause trouble, then..."
He was just about to say that he would destroy the peppers, but unexpectedly, an unhappy voice came from not far away: "I want to see which bastard destroyed the peppers!"
