Chapter 42: Don't try to trick me
In Datang, the yield of crops is very low and there are not many varieties. Therefore, looking back on history, you can often see the prohibition of alcohol, and you need food to make wine! Famine everywhere, disaster relief. So Ding Yi didn't make wine at the beginning, how can you brew without food!
Ding Yi looked at the excited three people in the hall, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister discovered a new crop called corn before. This thing has been eaten in his hometown, but he has never seen it in Chang'an, but he bought it in the hands of a merchant in the Western Regions, and the yield of this thing is about eight or nine stones per mu. It will mature in three or four months, and the minister will let the family plant this thing in the minister's fiefdom. Ding Yi didn't know much about the current unit of weight, so he just said what he had learned from reading books before. The current acre is smaller than that of later generations, and the yield of corn cannot be guaranteed, and how can the yield of future generations be achieved without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Li Er asked with some trembling: "The staple grain that yields eight or nine stones per mu?" Ding Yi, are you telling the truth? ”
"Yes, now that the grain has been planted, you can see it in three or two months, and the minister cannot guarantee its output, after all, there is no fertilizer that the minister said before, there may be some discrepancies, but the problem is not big." Ding Yi made a conservative estimate and returned with an attitude of being responsible for his life.
"Hahahaha, this is really my luck for Datang! Ding Yi, you are really my lucky star! With such a divine object, how can I, Datang, be short of food. I'm even more curious about your hometown now! Li Er laughed and said, Li Er is now more curious about Ding Yi and his hometown, horseshoe, curved plow, new steel smelting method, mathematics, physics and chemistry, corn are all Ding Yi came to Chang'an less than a month ago. I am looking forward to Ding Yi's future performance, and I don't care too much about Ding Yi's inability to tell where his hometown is, this person can offer so many divine objects in a short period of time, and he is still entangled in what to do!
Kong Yingda and Li Tai bowed to Li Er and said: "Ministers (sons), congratulations to Your Majesty (Father), congratulations to Your Majesty (Father)." To have such a divine object, the blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty! ”
"Haha, don't be polite, that's it, Ding Yi!"
"The minister is here."
"I will guard the artifact with you with a thousand left guards, and I must not let people destroy it. Go and do something, and when you come back, I will reward you! Li Er drew a big cake on Ding Yi, and sent someone to guard the corn, for fear of being remembered.
Ding Yi also knew that he didn't need to teach, so he immediately replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this is the duty of the minister!" Do your best for Datang until you die! ”
Ding Yi told Li Er in detail about this corn in the palace, and finally took the order to go, and returned to Shiping in three days, and the thousand Zuo Wuwei left tomorrow.
……
Ding Yi excitedly went home to pack his luggage and arrange things. At this time, Xiao Qing had already brought back 300,000 yuan, and repaid Lao Bai's 50,000 and 35,000 crowdfunding funds, leaving 210,000 yuan! I've made a fortune!
Bonuses were given to everyone in the house, and everyone was consistent. Workshop workers, steamed bun houses, and song and dance studios also did not give a bonus of 500 Wen.
Call Xiao Qing to arrange family affairs: "Xiao Qing, I'm going back to Shiping in the next few days, you can help take care of it at home, and I'll go to find a place to do it if I don't have any problems." ”
"Yes, young master. I will definitely look at the home. "Xiao Qing is very grateful to the young master for the life he and his brother have, although he is busy, but every day is very fulfilling! You don't have to be looked down upon, and you can learn a lot of knowledge every day, and you will never want to leave such a day.
"Well, it's fine! You should also take a break and bring a few more clever people. In the future, the family will only get bigger and bigger, and you can't be busy alone! ”
"I'll go back for about three months, and I'll come back occasionally. Let's open the furniture workshop in a few days; There is also the steamed bun shop in Anyefang, which has been renovated and opened; It's the same with Jade Lady Flower Girl. As for the song and dance workshop, it will practice for another month, but during this period, people can go out and sing on the street, just sing on the street, no need to tie up! I'll reopen when I'm free. Buy a few more stores, and let our stores have them in every shop. All next to each other! Don't forget about education, I'm going to transfer someone to Shiping in a few days! Ding thought about it and felt that it was almost all there was to it, so he let Xiao Qing go.
……
Li Er, who returned to the dormitory, grabbed the eldest grandson queen and gnawed wildly.
Empress Eldest Sun pushed Li Er away and said angrily: "Your Majesty, it's still daylight, how can this be." It's a shame to let the concubines be good! ”
"Hahaha, Guanyin, I'm very happy today! Na Ding Yizhen is very satisfied! ”
"Heh, I don't know who grabbed Ding Yi out of the palace in a rage two days ago!" Empress Eldest Sun teased.
Li Er was embarrassed for a moment: "Haha, today Ding Yi offered a new grain, with a yield of eight or nine stones per mu!" ”
"Ahh There is such a thing! The concubine had already said that the child was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and now she knows! This is really God bless my Datang! Empress Eldest Sun brought up what she had said and pretended to be angry.
"Your Majesty, Princess Changle has arrived!"
While the two were talking, a palace maid said.
"The son has seen his father, the queen and the queen." I saw a ten-year-old or so walk in outside the door, looking cute, with shaved shoulders, clever smile, beautiful eyes, light sweeping moth eyebrows and thin powder on the face, bright and incomprehensible, eyes like water, ten fingers slender, skin like clotted fat, snow white with pink, seems to be able to wring out water, a pair of red lips, smiling like a smile, every move seems to be dancing, slender waist, slender limbs, a little Lori with a fairy-like temperament.
"Beauty, come on, let your father hug you!" Li Er saw Changle and stepped forward to hug Li Lizhi cordially.
"Father, the son has grown up!" Changle said shyly, and dodged Li Er backwards.
Li Eryi was splashed with cold water in his heart, and said with some loss: "Hey, my daughter has grown up, and she doesn't need me as a father." ”
As soon as Changle saw the lost Li Er, he hurriedly hugged Li Er's arm and said coquettishly: "Father, how can my sons not need my father!" The father is a big hero in the hearts of his sons! ”
"Okay, okay, don't tease Liz!" Empress Eldest Sun can't stand it anymore, this daughter slave!
Li Er was also happy to see his daughter say that he was the hero in his heart: "Haha, beauty, is your chest still stuffy for the past two days?" ”
"It's already much better, what did you and the queen mother say just now? I heard you laughing outside! Changle asked, looking up at his cute little head.
Li Er said: "Father and your mother will talk about an interesting boy, a boy who has made great contributions to our Datang!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun stroked her daughter's hair and listened to the father and daughter talking. A rare warm scene in the palace, Empress Changsun longs for this, but it can only be experienced at this time.
Changle asked crisply: "Who would make my father so happy!" Tell me about it! ”
The family of three chatted warmly, and Changle was quite curious about Ding Yi in Li Er's mouth. A man who has not yet tied his hair can be so admired by his father, although he has heard from his mother that he does not have long hair. I thought about when I would let the prince's brother take me to meet!
