Chapter 6: The Emperor's Haunt
Chang'an City.
Royal Palace, late at night.
Gao Chen, a close attendant, walked into the Ganlu Palace, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Cheng Chumo, the captain of the Long Wujun Cavalry Academy, is back." ”
Li Er was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up: "Okay, Cheng Chumo has the demeanor of a father, at a young age, his martial arts are the best in the world, and he really didn't disappoint me, it seems that Lizhi was brought back by him and let him in." ”
Moment.
Cheng Chumo limped in and saluted: "Your Majesty!" ”
Li Er asked, "What about Liqing?" ”
Cheng Chumo buried his head low, and whispered: "The minister is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
"Huh? Lizin didn't come back......"
Cheng Chumo lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are already about to go to Qingfeng Village, who knows, a robbery ...... will be killed halfway."
He gave a brief account of what it was like.
Li Er was surprised: "You mean, that young man is a few years younger than you, and in the blink of an eye, like a gust of wind, he knocked you all down?" ”
Cheng Chumo's face was bitter: "Yes, the minister also caught the thieves of Qingfeng Village, and I heard that the princess has now become the owner of Qingfeng Village, and the young man's name is Chen Chu, who is the princess's father-in-law, and the two have been married......"
Click.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Er's fist was pinched and rang.
Cheng Chumo's face turned pale with fright.
In the middle of the night, Li Er's cold voice sounded: "I don't want others to know about this matter. ”
Cheng Chumo was drenched in cold sweat: "The minister must be tight-lipped." ”
I saw Li Er gritting his teeth and saying: "What a country boy, he dares to marry my daughter, it is really bold, the crime is unforgivable, I want to kill him personally!" Mobilize the men of the Longwu army, and I will leave the city tomorrow. ”
Cheng Chumo hurriedly nodded in agreement.
……
Cottage main hall.
The seventh uncle sat opposite Li Changle and said solemnly: "The owner of the village, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of you, then Chen Chu just gave birth to a good skin, and nothing else, and now he actually runs to farm, it is unreasonable, our Qingfeng Village makes a living by robbery, Chen Chu went to farm, and he simply lost the face of the bandit...... In my opinion, the owner of the village might as well divorce him, my second uncle has a son who is the same age as the owner of the village, so it is better for you to ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cough from a man who walked in.
The seventh uncle turned his head and saw that it was Chen Chu.
He couldn't help but be a little embarrassed!
Chen Chu came over and said unhappily: "Seventh uncle, if you don't study well at an age, beware of falling into the dung pit when you go to the toilet!" ”
Uncle Seven's face turned red with anger: "You ......"
Li Changle waved his hand: "Okay, don't argue, now the food stock in the cottage is almost gone, the money is gone, the number of merchants passing under the mountain is decreasing, and the money and grain we rob are getting less and less, how can this be good!" ”
She, Li Changle, has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she has never been worried about money.
The seventh uncle paid attention and said: "The owner of the village, why don't we send more brothers to rob the peasants?" ”
Li Changle said unhappily: "No, the rules of our Qingfeng Village can't be broken, we can only rob past merchants." ”
Chen Chu asked curiously, "The cottage is very short of money?" ”
Li Changle nodded, and said with a headache: "With so many people to feed, can you not lack money?" ”
He turned and walked out, and returned in a short time, carrying a bag of hemp.
Bang.
Chen Chu threw the sack on the ground and said, "Well, this money is enough to support a while." ”
Li Changle opened the bag suspiciously, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow, so much money, as well as jade ornaments, gold and silver, enough for the cottage to spend a year." ”
There are not many copper coins among them, but those jade pendants and jade rings are quite valuable.
Li Changle looked at Chen Chu and asked, "Where did you get it from?" ”
Chen Chu shrugged: "Robber, as a bandit, while farming, by the way, robbery is not considered to insult the face of the cottage!" ”
When the seventh uncle heard this, he was angry, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Uncle Seven walked all the way outside, and just felt a little anxious, so he walked into the toilet.
"I'm mad at me!"
"What a sharp-toothed boy!"
While scolding Chen Chu, he didn't pay attention to his feet and stepped on the air.
Poof.
The seventh uncle fell into the pit at once.
He shouted, "Ah, help, hmm...... Gollum ......"
Took a hard bite.
……
Yamashita.
Not far from the stream.
Li Er, who was dressed in civilian clothes, had a gloomy face.
Cheng Chumo stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, that kid is too dangerous, let me follow you to protect you!" ”
Li Er said unhappily: "More than 20 people can't beat him, can you protect me alone?" ”
Cheng Chumo: "......"
Li Eryi waved his hand: "Spread your people all around, and listen to my orders." ”
"Yes!"
Then, Li Er strode towards the grass hut.
He looked outside the garden and found that the garden was full of flowers and plants, and they were no different except that they were in good condition.
He came quietly to the back of the house.
I saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, squatting on the ground, holding a dagger in his hand, loosening the soil for a few strange plants.
The leaves of the plant were very strange, and they had lilac flowers.
But Li Er had never seen it before.
Li Er stepped forward and reached out to pat the young man's shoulder.
The young man concentrated, slapped Li Er's hand away, and said without looking back: "Don't make trouble, you're busy, this is a grain that can produce thousands of catties per mu, and there is no room for loss!" ”
Li Er's eyes widened suddenly.
Thousands of pounds per mu?
Grain?
Is there such food in the world?
In this era, the main food products were rice and wheat.
The yield of wheat with high yield is only 200 catties per mu.
The yield per mu is 1,000 catties, which is five times that of wheat!
If there is really this kind of food, will Datang still be short of food?
What stood in the way of Li Er's determination to conquer the small neighboring countries?
What is it that makes you so nervous in a year of famine?
What made Li Er dare not repair his Taiji Palace?
What has been giving Li Er a headache for years?
It's food!
He couldn't help but ask: "Can this thing really produce thousands of catties per mu?" ”
Chen Chu said: "The yield of 1,000 catties per mu is still conservative, if there is fertilizer blessing, choose fertile land, and the yield of 2,000 catties per mu is not ...... Well? ”
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The secret of potatoes, he only told Li Changle alone.
But Li Changle, who is used to being the king of copycats, doesn't believe it at all.
Yes, someone patted him on the shoulder, and Chen Chu subconsciously thought it was Li Changle.
Who knew that when I turned around, it was a middle-aged fat man.
Chen Chu stood up suddenly, and subconsciously grabbed a wooden stake next to him.
Li Er subconsciously covered his underneath.
He heard Cheng Chumo say that Chen Chu's house, a wooden stake, is elusive and has to be guarded against.
Li Er shouted: "Little brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person!" ”
Chen Chuhu looked at Li Er suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Li Er said: "A certain surname Li, a single name with a Qin character, passed by from then on, and wanted to ask for a glass of water to drink." I heard you say that this thing can yield thousands of catties per mu, is it true? ”
Chen Chu looked at Li Er, who was bare-handed and defenseless, and nodded: "It turned out to be Brother Li, this thing is called a potato, it is a sacred object from overseas, it can be planted in an arid and barren land, it can produce at least two seasons a year, and a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, no problem!" ”
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, he saw Li Er's eyes shining.
Seeing this, the corners of Chen Chu's mouth couldn't help but be angry a little curvature.
Hooked!
