"Father, this matter is a long story, and Rong Erchen will speak slowly."

Li Xian's general deployment was to wait for Gaozong to ask, and at this time the opportunity had come, Li Xian's mood was quite excited, but he did not lose his temper because of this, just smiled and bowed, and replied respectfully.

"Well, anyway, I'll listen."

Gaozong's curiosity had already risen, and he wanted to know the root of the matter, and when he heard Li Xian say this, he hurriedly urged.

"No!" Li Xian bowed down to answer the promise, groaned slightly, quickly organized his thoughts, and then said unhurriedly: "So that my father and emperor know that in the early years, there was a pro-guard in the son's mansion, whose name was: Lin Hu, the word Hanyu, Jingzhao person, honest and sincere, and then because of carelessness, he violated military regulations, and the son had to endure the pain to expel him from the palace and give him some capital for making a living, but he didn't expect that he was quite a business wizard, less than ten years, he was already a few seafarers in the Tang Dynasty, and his subordinates sat on dozens of large and small sea ships, and begged for a living at sea all the year round. As far as Dongying, as far as Dashi, there are fleets under his command. ”

"I once remembered, it was five years ago, when the son was still in Hexi, because of the repeated violations of the territory in Tibet, the army was difficult to raise grain, so he thought about changing the grain species, but he couldn't find it all over, he was in distress, and happened to visit Lin Hu, in the chat, he said that he had saved a lifetime when he was sailing overseas, according to that person, thousands of miles away from the sea, there are continents, said America, there are many rare birds and beasts, and many precious grains, the son was overjoyed to hear it, and he was specially commissioned to search on his behalf, and the son of the minister also said casually, and did not really put it in his heart, The reason is that my Tang Dynasty went to the Americas to be far away, thousands of miles of sea borders, if you want to arrive, it is really difficult to reach the sky, but I don't want that Lin Hu really led a large team of people and horses to go away, after several years, as far as the Americas, and Shengfan fierce battles many times, looking for good breeds to return, but the loss of its department is miserable, it is shocking, when I went to more than ten large and small ships, the return is only three wrecked ships, three thousand loyal and brave people died overseas, and the sons heard it, and couldn't help but shed tears! ”

Li Xian's eloquence is already excellent, and he has already practiced sometimes, and when he says something, he is very sensational, and when he speaks passionately, everyone is moved by it, and there are not a few people who choke their wrists.

"I see, this Lin Hu is really my loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, don't treat him badly, he should be rewarded heavily!"

Gao Zong was originally a sentimental master, and when Li Xian was so sensational, his eyes turned red, and he stretched out his sleeves and brushed the tears that came out of the frame, and said with emotion.

"Father Emperor Shengming, with Lin Hu's great merit, according to the usual practice, the Hou of the Seal should be able to repay his merit."

Li Xian was thinking about asking for credit for Lin Hu, but at this time, Gaozong had already opened his mouth, how could there be a snake with the reason on the stick, but he hurriedly picked up the conversation.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid this discussion is inappropriate, although Lin Hu has a small merit, but one has not yet been proven, and the second is to set a precedent for merchants to seal the marquis may violate the way of the sage, Weichen really dare not agree, and please make a clear judgment from Your Majesty."

As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the Marquis of Guannei was second only to the marquis, which was considered a very high level, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was just a virtual lord, not only did he have no fiefdom, but he also had no actual power, but he just had the meager authority of the saint of the court, and it was really not a great reward, but even so, the party of the Empress Wu did not want to give Li Xian the slightest possibility of growth, no, before Gaozong spoke, Jia Chaoyin had already flashed out from the side and exhorted loudly.

"Hmm......"

Gaozong originally wanted to agree to Li Xian's request, but when Jia Chaoyin said this, he couldn't help but hesitate, and it was really difficult to make a decision for a while.

"Jia Xiang's words are wrong, what is a businessman who cannot be a marquis, the ancestor of this palace is also a businessman, and then he raised military funds for Gaozu and was awarded the title of Duke of Yingguo, according to Jia Xiang, where do you want to rent it outside the palace, huh?"

Li Xian is not a good stubble, this time for Lin Hu to ask for credit is what he must want to do, and how can he allow the party of the Empress Wu to be corrupted, seeing that Gaozong's mind was shaken, he immediately unceremoniously moved out the matter of the Empress Wu's father, Wu Shi Yan - Wu Shi Yan was one of the largest timber merchants in the world during the Sui Dynasty, with a huge family capital, and then because he offended Yang Su, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, he almost died, and then defected to Li Yuan, not only donating his family wealth, but also using business as a means to raise a large amount of military funds for Li Yuan's army, with this merit, Only then was he able to be named the Duke of Yingguo.

"Your Highness is mistaken, how can this be compared, Wugong is still for the military, Gaozu has become a matter because of it, and it is really a matter of time to seal the country, but although Lin Hu's move has a little effort, it is not enough to compare."

Jia Chaoyin is a well-known sophist in the court, known for his eloquence, and he refuses to show weakness in front of Li Xian, so he is extremely tough and stubborn.

"The ancestor of this palace is from the dragon's great merit, the prince of the country is deserved, this article is known all over the world, there is no need for Jia Xiang to say, and Lin Hu is not afraid of hardships and dangers, travels far and wide, takes good seeds to benefit the world, is for the benefit of the present generation, the merit is also in the thousands of years, although it is not as good as the work of the ancestor, but it is not the same as if, what can not be said about the Hou of the seal, is it not that Jia Xiang really wants to chill the heart of the world's heroes to serve the country? What's the point of that? I don't know about this palace, please advise! ”

It's the turn of the debater, Li Xian is a real master, I didn't look at the fact that in his previous life, when he was in the officialdom, he held meetings all day long, and if he confessed that he was second in the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to call him the first, and how could he be refuted by Jia Chaoyin's light words, but seeing that Li Xian's face was solemn, a series of heart-wrenching questions had been smashed unceremoniously.

"It is not the blessing of the court to open the door of luck in vain, and Weichen does not dare to do it."

Li Xian's words were extremely sharp, and Jia Chaoyin was sweating profusely when he heard it, but he didn't want to admit defeat, so he randomly found a reason to come out and prevaricate.

"Kojin? What a good luck! According to Jia Xiang's words, isn't it the right way to have merit and not reward the party? This palace is strange, how did Jia Xiang come from a scholar to worship the prime minister, isn't it hard work? “

Li Xian has always hated Jia Chaoyin's personality, and now that he is already in chaos, how can he let go of the opportunity to beat the water dog, so he asked unceremoniously.

"We-Chen, We-Chen......"

Everyone in the world knows how Jia Chaoyin was promoted, not how much ability he has, nor how much credit he has made, but just by virtue of the favor of the Empress Wu, others know this, and he also understands it in his own heart, but under the pressure of Li Xian in public, how dare he tell the truth, besides, he really has no commendable achievements to show off, and he is so blushing that he can't even say a complete sentence, and the image of the eloquent and eloquent in the past met the more eloquent Li Xian, and shattered to the ground in an instant.

"This matter is very controversial, although these grains look good, I don't know if they can be promoted to the world, if they can only be limited to one place in the Eastern Capital, but what is the meaning at all, it is not too late to discuss after the dust settles, do you still have any objections, huh?"

His dog was beaten badly, and the Empress Wu, as the owner, could no longer sit still, so he waved his hand and ended the argument with a fair gesture.

"What the queen mother said is that the sons have no objections, but the sons have other circumstances, and they ask the queen mother for permission."

Li Xian didn't bother to argue with Jia Chaoyin, but when he saw that Empress Wu came out, he was happy to end this unnutritious battle of words, but Li Xian didn't plan to stop there, so he dug a big pit and waited for Empress Wu to jump into it by himself.

"Say."

Empress Wu originally wanted to use the power of the Queen of Heaven to suppress Li Xian's pursuit of Jia Chaoyin, but she didn't expect Li Xian to refuse to stop, and when she heard Li Xian say that she had no feelings, her heart couldn't help jumping, and she faintly felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, she couldn't prohibit Li Xian from opening her mouth, so she had no choice but to raise her eyebrows and squeeze out a word with displeasure.

"Thank you for your leniency."

Li Xiancai didn't care whether the martial queen was happy or not, this time he saw that he had half fallen into the pit, and he was in a good mood, but the city was deep, but he didn't bring it to his face, but respectfully saluted, and after thanking him, he smiled and said: "So that the queen mother will know that the son has won this lot of good seeds, and he dare not ignore it, not only in the palace of the son of the son to personally cultivate, but also specially commissioned Qingzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Xiangzhou, Lanzhou, Yizhou and other six states to try to plant it, Meng's six states of thorn history of the strong help, now the results of the six states have come out, the existing six states of the thorn history report here, Rong Erchen on behalf of the gift, Qingzhou thorn Shi Di Renjie has a report, a total of 100 acres of land, try to plant sweet potatoes 30 acres, get 153,121 pounds of sweet potatoes; 30 acres of peanuts planted on trial basis, 11,200 catties of shelled peanuts; Twenty acres of potatoes planted on a trial basis yielded 21,724 catties, and twenty acres of corn planted on a trial basis yielded 13,478 catties......

"Buzz ......"

Li Xian's voice did not stop, and the ministers and workers couldn't help but talk about it, not for anything else, just because these yields were so amazing, they were even higher than the yield per mu planted by Li Xian in the East Palace, especially the yield per mu in Guangzhou and Hangzhou was even more amazing, and the yield per mu of sweet potatoes alone had broken through the 6,500 jin mark, which was more than ten times higher than the output value of rice, and what made the courtiers even more excited was that sweet potatoes and potatoes, two large-yield plants, were suitable for planting in a vast area. The requirements for the land are not too high, it can be promoted in a large area in the land of China, once it can really be done, the problem of food and clothing for the people can be easily solved, its value is huge, it is not worse than the expansion of the territory, here all the ministers are shrewd, this account is all counted thoroughly, under this excitement, it is inevitable that some children will lose their minds, completely forget that this is the royal front, all excited like happy children......
