Chapter 127: Rich and Rival Country

Li Shimin listened to Chen Zhengtai's words, and couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Chen Zhengtai.

Seeing that Chen Zhengtai said sincerely, it seemed to be a true expression, and he couldn't guess for a while, whether this was Chen Zhengtai's heartfelt words, or his habitual slapping horses.

It's just that...... Is there still speculation?

This potato alone is really priceless.

Li Shimin pinched the potatoes, he still had many questions, but now he needs to press it in his heart first!

He looked around, looked at the ministers, and in his excitement, he couldn't say the words that reached his throat.

Today's mood for Li Shimin, it can only be compared with the mood of the change in Xuanwumen four years ago, once when he finally knew that after cutting off his brother, he could ascend to the throne and set the world, but this time, it has made Li Shimin see a greater expectation!

With this, what will happen in five or ten years?

Li Shimin restrained the smile on his face, nodded and said, "All the secretaries are exempt." ”

Fang Xuanling and the others gradually calmed down, and Zhang Qian personally helped Fang Xuanling up!

Fang Xuanling trembled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, today's imperial trial ......"

Yes, and the Imperial Trial!

Li Shimin then remembered that there was still this matter that had not been dealt with, so he sank his face: "Wei Xuanzhen, what do you say?" ”

He called Wei Xuanzhen's name, Wei Xuanzhen trembled in the crowd, and hurriedly bowed forward!

At this point, what else can he say?

Wei Xuanzhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the fault of the minister's nephew, no matter what the reason, he shouldn't have come to this two skin ditch, this potato is worth a lot of money, and the minister is ...... I'm scared now......"

He lowered his head, already thinking about what would happen if he continued to pursue it.

Wei Xuanzhen forced a smile and said: "If it was at the beginning, the nephew and nephew set the horse and accidentally trampled on this potato, the Wei family would be a sinner for the ages." Chen Jungong fought well, if he didn't fight, my Wei family would make a big mistake, now the minister thinks about it, Wei Jungong is really pure and kind, he actually didn't beat the minister's nephew to death, which shows that Chen Jungong is a kind and approachable humble gentleman. Minister...... It's too late to thank Chen Jungong. ”

After that, he moved his legs that weighed like a thousand catties, walked in front of Chen Zhengtai step by step, saluted, looked very sincere, and said to Chen Zhengtai affectionately: "Chen Jungong, this is all the Wei family's right, fortunately, Chen Jungong raised his noble hand, Chen Jungong is really a great kindness to our Wei family, the old man is ...... today I'm going to pay you a lot. Thanks to you for raising your noble hand and beating Wei Xuanzhen hard, otherwise, it would almost be a big mistake, Chen Jungong, thank you. ”

After that, he yelled at Wei Jieyi: "Brute, don't thank Chen Jungong yet." ”

Wei Jieyi hurriedly stepped forward: "Thank you, Brother Chen." ”

"You're welcome." Chen Zhengtai and Yan Yue said: "This is what I should do." ”

Although everyone was dumbfounded, they also knew that Wei Xuanzhen was grateful...... In a way, it makes sense.

What is this potato, if it is trampled even a little, it may usher in a catastrophe.

At that time, if Chen Zhengtai hadn't beaten him in time, I don't know what would have happened to the Wei family's final ending?

Wei Xuanzhen then said to Li Shimin with a bitter look: "Your Majesty, the minister really regrets not being at the beginning, and actually misunderstood Chen Jungong, which can be described as a serious sin, and I beg Your Majesty to punish it severely." ”

Chen Zhengtai had to sigh silently, the Wei family has been rich for hundreds of years, it seems that it is not unreasonable, and he will never be soft when he should retaliate, but once he realizes that something is wrong, he immediately relents, and never twists and pinched, I don't want to be ashamed, you beat me?

Li Shimin was already angry, and he could see Wei Xuanzhen's pitiful appearance, so he thought that this Wei family was a first-class family after all, and now he was attacking it, for fear of causing anxiety among other families. Let alone...... Although Wei Guifei is married for the second time, she gave birth to a child for him after all!

So he snorted coldly: "If there is a next time, I will never spare it, this time only if your Wei family is ignorant, in a few days, I will come to the door and apologize to Chen Zhengtai, if he is willing to forgive your Wei family, although everything is easy to say, if he refuses to forgive, I will never forgive." ”

Wei Xuanzhen nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty Hong En, it is difficult to repay the death of the minister." ”

Li Shimin immediately became full of interest, he no longer took Wei Xuanzhen to heart, but looked at Chen Zhengtai happily: "Zhengtai, can this thing be eaten raw?" ”

Chen Zhengtai smiled helplessly and said, "Teacher, it's better not to." ”

Li Shimin said: "Oh, after I ate two, I felt full, those two potatoes, only six or seven taels, in this way, ordinary people, one and a half catties a day, can ensure what they need." More than 1,200 catties, only one acre of land, can let a person eat for more than two years. ”

He picked up the potatoes again and looked at them carefully in his hand, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, but he seemed to have something to say to Chen Zhengtai privately, so he said: "You come with me." ”

He and Chen Zhengtai entered Minglun Hall one after the other, and asked hundreds of officials, including Zhang Qian, to wait outside.

Immediately, Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai: "This thing can be promoted to the world, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Chen Zhengtai said: "This is what the students have planned. ”

"So to speak." Li Shimin's eyes were even more joyful: "Not only can the people of Li no longer have to go hungry, even if there is a disaster year, my Datang will have enough surplus food, and ...... Erpigou can also take advantage of this to make a lot of money. ”

Chen Zhengtai was a little confused, teacher, we are teachers and students, your old man speaks so directly, why does it seem that we are not a teacher-student relationship, but a flesh-and-skin relationship?

Chen Zhengtai coughed and said, "Teacher...... What do you mean by that? ”

Li Shimin's face fell, revealing a look of indignation: "Hmph, do you know how many people wanted to put you to death when you were imprisoned in Yongzhou Prison?" I'm trying to protect you, but my heart is broken! ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed, and then continued: "These clans ...... Why make a fuss about fugitives? Sometimes, they don't even pay attention to me. Now Erpigou has this potato, and the family has land in their hands, so ...... Isn't that clear? If they want to plant this potato, they can't afford it anyway, and the more expensive the potato seedlings, the better, just to breathe a sigh of relief and avenge you. ”

The dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually had such an economic mind!

In Chen Zhengtai's impression, he always thought that the emperor should have no concept of money.

Dare to love His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, not only is he eloquent, but he is also thinking about making money all day long.

Chen Zhengtai shook his head and said: "The promotion of potatoes is imperative, and the teacher ...... If the seedlings are sold at a high price, although they can make benefits, but they may lose everyone's enthusiasm for planting, and these families are not stupid, as long as a family buys seedlings at a high price, when they have a harvest, they can also produce more seedlings, at that time, why do they need to come to Erpigou to buy? This alone ...... It's not bad to earn profits, the money must be able to earn tens of thousands, but the students think ...... In this world, you can't make a lot of money by buying and selling. It's only tens of thousands, so why bother? ”

Li Shimin: "......"

Can't make a lot of money doing business?

It's not even a business to make money, what else can be made in this world? Do you Chen Zhengtai still want to rebel and become an emperor, and you can make a lot of money if you become an emperor?

Seeing Li Shimin's puzzled look.

Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "Teacher, in fact, the real way to make a lot of money is to set standards. ”

"Setting standards?" Li Shimin muttered these four words, with a suspicious expression.

"Whoever can set the standard can make a daily gold fight, which is many times higher than the profit of you buying and selling me!"

Looking at Li Shimin's still dazed appearance, Chen Zhengtai continued: "Do you still remember what the teacher said to the teacher at the beginning? The clan tail is too big to be lost, and it must be controlled so that they can be used by the imperial court. But now, the clan has its own plans, what they are seeking is the selfish interests of the family and the surname, and the teacher is the Ming monarch, so they can naturally suppress them, but what if the emperor is not a teacher in the future? Ah, the student is so bold to say such a rebellious thing. ”

Li Shimin listened to it more and more, but ...... He seemed to sense that Chen Zhengtai seemed to have some idea.

Li Shimin said: "You mean, you can control them? ”

"It's not the students who can, but the teachers, of course...... If the teacher wants to control them, but the teacher is in a hurry, then the students can do the work for the teacher. The students have already thought about it, it is still the old rule, the prince is thirty percent, the princess Sui'an is thirty percent, and the students are forty percent, of course...... Students can also take nothing, and these forty percent are also given to the teacher. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Li Shimin will be suspicious in his heart! These are all families that have stood for hundreds of years, and these families have countless calculating talents, and if they want to control them, how difficult it is, even I, and sometimes they are restrained.

But I heard that Chen Zhengtai was going to give all the proceeds of the next manipulation to the royal ......

Although Li Shimin's mind moved for a while, he immediately reprimanded Chen Zhengtai: "You do things for me, how can you not take a penny?" Who do you think I am? You have done so much merit that it is too late for me to reward you, and do you want to share all the benefits you have? Just the old rules, the East Palace is thirty percent, and Princess Sui'an is also thirty percent, and what is left is yours. ”

In fact, Li Shimin doesn't like this method very much, because it's too troublesome, why bother going around in circles with the prince and Princess Sui'an, it's good for me to be six, you're four, but it's not good for him to bring it up, after all, ...... He is Chen Zhengtai's mentor, once a person is a teacher, it is difficult to be naked when he speaks and does things, and his face cannot be hindered.

It's just that...... Li Shimin was still holding a potato in his hand, looking at this potato, he couldn't help but be eager!

I even have potatoes, and there's nothing I can't do.

If I don't get rid of the evils of the world for hundreds of years, what can I talk about?

But he still didn't understand what method Chen Zhengtai was adopting.

But looking at Chen Zhengtai's confident appearance, Li Shimin let out a sigh, okay, let him go.

It's good to be successful, but even if it doesn't, it doesn't seem to have anything to lose.

He stared at Chen Zhengtai and said, "This potato...... Where are you from? ”

"Student......... From textbooks. ”

It's a textbook again...... Li Shimin was shocked, could it be that this textbook ...... Is it a letter of God?

He has heard countless times about the power of textbooks, and he has always wanted to find a time to take a good look, but he is too busy on weekdays, where can he take a break?

Now I can't help but think, I must take the time to take a good look, not only I want to read it, but also my heirs, such a sacred book, it's a pity not to read it.

In fact, this is just Chen Zhengtai's empty nonsense, but ...... The textbooks I have issued are too important to me, so whatever, blow it first!

He was not worried that His Majesty would punish him in the future, and if His Majesty had read it and felt that this textbook had no connection with potatoes, he would not have come to ask him.

After all, he is his own teacher, you are a master, you read the textbook, you didn't understand, and you are embarrassed to come to ask the students?

With a face-saving personality like Li Shimin, he will definitely only think that he has not studied the textbooks deeply enough, and he will not have other doubts.

Li Shimin immediately said: "That book, I must take a good look at it, it's not too early, so I'll take a few potatoes back, this time you have made a great contribution, I will go back first and give this potato to Guanyin to taste, and then I will have a reward." ”

The meaning of the time is that it will be next time, Chen Zhengtai understands.

With a smile on his face, he walked out of Minglun Hall with Li Shimin, and the ministers were waiting outside.

At this time, he saw that Fang Xuanling had already called Chen Zhengde to him, and asked Yan Yue about the affairs of the Agricultural Science Museum.

Chen Zhengde replied honestly, looking a little nervous.

How could Fang Xuanling not know that this potato must have something to do with the Agricultural Science Museum? His Majesty and Chen Zhengtai went to play in private, and it just so happened that the old man, as the direct boss of the Agricultural Science Museum, should take good care of some agriculture.

Seeing that Chen Zhengde was young, he was moved in his heart, asked him about his birthday, asked him about eight characters, and asked him if he was married to someone.

As soon as Fang Xuanling asked like this, the other ministers couldn't sit still! If it weren't for Fang Xuanling's good deeds, I just wanted to rush forward immediately, I have a daughter in my family, virtuous and virtuous, and she will be in the boudoir......

As soon as he saw His Majesty come out, Fang Xuanling stopped and saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was still thinking about ...... The so-called control in Chen Zhengtai's mouth looked thoughtful, and then he looked at the potato field reluctantly, and finally said: "Swing ...... Return to the palace. ”

The ministers have a lot of regrets in their hearts, and many things, they haven't asked Chen Zhengtai clearly.

It's just that at this time, His Majesty gave an order, but he had to obediently accompany him.

Nawei Jieyi stayed, and he said to Chen Zhengtai excitedly: "Brother Chen, I think about it, I want to stay by your side...... Hard work, hard work, hard work......"

Chen Zhengtai interrupted him: "You haven't been home for many days, let's go home, if there is anything to talk about later, okay, okay, farewell." ”

Wei Jieyi originally wanted to say that his career was not successful, so how could he be home, but it can be seen that Brother Chen was in a hurry, and he was a little depressed in his heart, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

Call......

Chen Zhengtai breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked people to store all the harvested potatoes and prepare to start new seedlings!

A potato can breed six or seven buds, and now these few acres of potatoes, I don't know how much can be raised, but in the future it will grow exponentially, and it will not take a few years to be popularized.

He glanced at Chen Zhengde, who was stunned on the side: "Zhengde, what are you thinking?" ”

Chen Zhengde said: "Fang Gong seems to want to marry his daughter to me. ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

There is such a good thing, why didn't Fang Xuanling marry his daughter to him, which of my sons is not better than Chen Zhengde?

"He told you?"

"I didn't say it explicitly." Chen Zhengde scratched his head and couldn't help but say, "But...... He kept saying that I was a talent. ”

Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, obviously you look very two, is Fang Gong blind?

Chen Zhengtai touched his head: "Good, don't think about it, your career is important, your daughter-in-law can marry in the future, but our potatoes can't afford to delay." ”

Chen Zhengde nodded and said very sincerely: "Well, Grandpa said it, I listened to my cousin." ”

He was serious.

The news soon spread.

It's just that even though many people saw it with their own eyes, when the news began to spread, the vast majority of people still looked incredulous.

Even countless people swore that if there was really a thousand catties of grain per mu, they would cut off their heads.

The ancients often had extremely stubborn empiricism, after all...... From the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, the production of society has remained in the same position for most of the time! These hundreds of thousands of years of experience have formed an inherent mindset that they do not advocate for change.

But there are already officials who returned to the palace with His Majesty, but after sending Li Shimin back to Taiji Palace, he came to Erpigou with a smoke!

This time, no one came to pursue the fugitive slaves, they wanted to ask if the potatoes were sold.

That's a six-fold increase.

If you take this thing to your own grange, it will really make a lot of money.

The first to come was Cheng Yanjin, don't look at Cheng Yanjin, who usually looks very reckless, but the little abacus in his heart is clearer than anyone else.

He mentioned some Eli Lai, and when he saw Chen Zhengtai, he laughed affectionately and said, "Virtuous nephew, how were you doing when you were in prison?" When I'm at home, Chu Mo always mentions you and says that you are the person he admires the most in his life, hahaha...... The old man brought some wine, let's take two sips, and it can be regarded as a breeze and dust for you. ”

Chen Zhengtai felt that he was very busy now, but he didn't have time to talk to people haha, so he said very bluntly: "Ming people don't say secret words, Uncle Shi can say it directly if he has something to say." ”

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he was not embarrassed, but grinned: "What I like most about my virtuous nephew is that it ...... The virtuous nephew is bold enough, haha, you and I are really like-minded, if you are a few years older, maybe we can become brothers. ”

Chen Zhengtai sighed silently in his heart......

Brothers...... You want to lie to my Chen Zhengtai potato plastic brother, right?
