Some people don't need Li Chengqian's melon seeds, because Li Chengqian has already given them melon seeds before, and Li Chengqian himself has some melon seeds, and the people who give them are people close to him.

The people who don't have melon seeds are the people he needs to give this time, mainly some officials who are not related to him.

Soon, someone came to inquire about the price, and it was a person sent by the Ministry of Works.

The director of the Ministry of Works asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how much is this melon seed sold?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "This melon seed is not expensive, but it can't be too cheap, if it's too cheap, you won't plant it if you buy it, you will try it, this is not the result I want to see." ”

The director said: "It is understandable, we also think so, the sunflowers that can be seen in the palace from time to time at that time are a beautiful landscape!" Naturally, we also want to grow some in our own homes. ”

"How about a melon seed for a penny?" Li Chengqian asked.

This is a high price compared to the original price of melon seeds, but Li Chengqian always feels that it is not very good, a penny, will everyone spend a penny to taste the taste?

The answer is yes.

The chief said: "This matter is all up to His Highness's decision, and I can't say anything." ”

Li Chengqian said: "I'm afraid this is not good, one hundred wen should be suitable, after all, rare things are expensive, although they will change a lot after they are planted, they are still very few." ”

"We want a thousand." The director said.

"A hundred, not much." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes."

In the past, maybe the Ministry of Industry couldn't even come up with a hundred guan, but since cooperating with other people, their finances are much looser, and one hundred guan is nothing.

Someone has already divided the melon seeds, put a thousand together and give it to the chief, and the principal takes the money.

These melon seeds are not used by them, and some decorative plants are needed in the Ministry of Industry compound, and sunflowers are the best choice.

After taking it back, a group of people from the Ministry of Industry began to discuss how to plant this melon seed, whether to plant it in the future or now.

In the end, they decided to plant now, and when the time comes, next year, maybe not only can they plant a lot in the compound, but also some in their own home.

"I wonder if Yan Shangshu has a greenhouse at home? We don't have one at home. The principal asked.

The Ministry of Industry doesn't have much money per capita, and I am afraid that things like greenhouses can only be seen whether there is Shang Shu's house.

Yan Shangshu nodded.

"Yes, yes, don't have much hope for my greenhouse, I don't like these things, the things grown in the greenhouse at home are all casually placed, and we can't let others look down on our Ministry of Industry." Yan Lide said.

A few nodded in agreement.

The principal asked, "So, do you know how to plant these sunflower seeds?" ”

Yan Lide said: "It is said that Fang Xuanling's family has been planting for a long time, I can go to their house to learn from the experience, and it will naturally be planted when the time comes." ”

Housing.

"Why is Yan Shangshu here?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"The Ministry of Industry bought some sunflowers from the prince, I came to learn from you, if you don't plant it well, this hundred times will be in vain!" Yan Lide said.

"Haha, in fact, I also learned from His Highness, but I do have some planting experience now, and the sunflowers I grow are good, about ninety-five sprouts from a hundred." Fang Xuanling said.

Yan Lide was pleasantly surprised: "This is a very good budding rate!" Tell me how to do it, and I'll try it when I get back! ”

Fang Xuanling said: "These seeds are very well dried and stored, so they don't need to be dried, they can be planted directly after soaking for three hours, so as to ensure that there are no insects in the soil." ”

Yan Lide said: "Is it really so simple? Don't fool me! ”

"What's the need for deception? From my planting experience, sunflowers are not very demanding on the soil, and they can be planted anywhere, even on very poor land. ”

"Doesn't that mean that this thing can be popularized in large quantities in the future?" Yan Lide asked.

"It's natural, you can grow it anywhere, it's a really good crop." Fang Xuanling said.

"Okay!" Yan Lide sighed.

Prince's Mansion.

Officials from all over the country came to buy sunflower seeds, and even people from Guozijian came.

Li Chengqian said: "Since I am now the son of the country, I naturally can't accept the money from our country's eunuch, so let's take a thousand seeds, if it's not enough, come and take it again." ”

The people who came to Li Chengqian were naturally not from his side, and the people who took refuge in Li Chengqian were still in the same state of being excluded as before.

Li Chengqian took a sip of our country's eunuch, and the person who said this person was extremely uncomfortable and couldn't get angry, what Li Chengqian said was the truth, he was indeed the son of the country, although this position may not be on him for a long time.

"Then thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Chengqian said: "It's okay, you remember, call me His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of others, and when no one is around, you can call my country's son to sacrifice wine." ”

The person who came had to pinch his nose and said, "Thank you for the wine sacrifice!" ”

"Go ahead." Li Chengqian was comfortable.

Bring the seeds back and tell Kong Yingda about it, and Kong Yingda slapped the table angrily.

"One bite at a time, our national eunuch! Do you really regard Guozijian as your home? He's still far from it! Kong Yingda said.

"Teacher, what to do with this seed?"

"We will deal with it as others deal with it, and we can't lag behind others, otherwise, I am afraid that it will become a joke for others." Kong Yingda said.

"Yes."

Li Chengqian naturally knew that Kong Yingda was still managing the affairs of the Guozijian, and he didn't stop it, firstly, someone had to do something, and secondly, he really couldn't stay in the Guozijian all the time, he couldn't stay.

However, he seemed to be able to guess what Li Shimin meant, didn't he just let him turn the Guozijian into his own, he would naturally do it.

A person who surprised Li Chengqian came, and the person who came was Wang De.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Queen Mother did not leave some spare seeds for the palace this time, Your Majesty asked the ministers to pick them up." Wang De said.

"It's just right, I have some fried melon seeds here, take them, as for the ones that need to be planted in the palace next year, I will naturally arrange them next year." Li Chengqian said.

"That's the best, then trouble Your Highness." Wang De said.

Wang De knew that Li Shimin really wanted some melon seeds that he usually ate, although he didn't say anything about it.

This time, although Li Chengqian's work was not very good, it did not work out to Li Shimin's heart.

Two copies, one more and one less, it is clear who to give it to.

Wang De left with the fried melon seeds.

When Li Shimin saw these fried melon seeds, he immediately pretended to be angry: "Bastard thing!" Such good things, if they are not planted, they are all fried! Do you think I'm the kind of person who is greedy? I'm a saint and don't care about that! ”

Wang De rolled his eyes in his heart, and said it nicely!

Wang De hurriedly said: "The saint is angry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a filial piety, he just wants His Majesty to taste it in his spare time, besides, the minister has understood, His Royal Highness did not eat at all, and the rest was sold to the courtiers." ”

Li Shimin nodded secretly, Li Chengqian did a good job this time, he didn't eat it, he had to get some for him, so he had to praise it.

However, on the surface, he still pretended to be angry: "Okay, let it go, you go out." ”

"Yes."

Li Shimin tasted the melon seeds, and there was a faint fragrance of tea.

"Stinky boy! Love all these weird things! Tea-scented melon seeds? I didn't even think of it before! ”

He swallowed a few melon seeds in a row, and his heart was very satisfied.

Taste something else, milky, salty, plain......

There are many flavors to eat, and the original melon seeds are also excellent!

"Strange, how did you get a pimple on your tongue? Can't you eat more of this stuff? ”

……

East Palace.

Seeing the melon seeds sent, Queen Changsun sighed, this child, really disobedient, still fried some melon seeds.

Naturally, she didn't say much.

"Put it down."

"Yes."

She knew very well that if Li Chengqian didn't fry at all and gave the people some planting, his reputation would be greatly increased, but Li Chengqian didn't do it.

As smart as he is, he won't be unable to think of these things, but he just doesn't want to do them, which shows that in Li Chengqian's heart, the prestige among the people is not as valuable as the happiness of his parents.

Don't admire Rongli, this is a qualified son, the eldest grandson queen is very satisfied with this, if Li Chengqian takes these melon seeds in exchange for prestige, she will not object, but she will not have this heart-warming feeling.

Prince's Mansion.

Lu Zihou said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, many wealthy people in Chang'an City have coveted the sunflowers planted in the palace for a long time, why not make a big profit this time?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "I can't make a lot of money, this thing, I am not precious, the output is large, I don't pick a place, I can plant it anywhere, it will be cheap soon, I will make a lot of money, and there will be a lot of people who will scold me in the future." ”

Lu Zihou sighed: "Listening to His Highness, this thing is a very good crop, and it is indeed very precious!" ”

Li Chengqian frowned: "Where is the word precious?" ”

Lu Zihou said: "Your Royal Highness, precious, not only rare and expensive, but also its impact on the life of the world, this sunflower, will definitely enter thousands of households in the future, so that everyone has a fun leisure time, Your Highness, if you make a person happy, it is very good, if you make the world happy, isn't it a very precious thing?" ”

Li Chengqian thought about it and sighed: "That's the reason, but the world doesn't cherish these things." ”

"It's just human nature." Lu Zihou said.

Li Chengqian: "These leftover seeds can be sold at a fair price, by the way, you can take some and use them yourself, or you can give them away, and it's not bad to have a relationship." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although everyone can buy these seeds, Lu Zihou still set some rules, you can only buy them if you have a greenhouse at home, which stops many people, and the rich are not among them.

There are still a lot of rich people in Chang'an City, so it is not enough to divide equally, and you can only draw qualifications.

After Li Chengqian found out, he also shook his head, buy a seed and get a lottery number? What a cheat!

Many people didn't get it, but Lu Zihou sent seeds to some of them who were valuable, ranging from a few to a dozen, just one mind.

A rich man was greatly surprised when he received a gift from Lu Zihou.

"Lu Zihou, how do you have so many seeds and give them to me?" The rich man asked.

"Your Highness give me some, I don't like planting, so I'll give it to my friends." Lu Zihou said.

"Okay, you will be my friend of Lao Zhao in the future, haha!"

……

Originally, what were the greenhouses of the rich? Chinese cabbage! This thing is a vegetable that can be grown without sunlight.

It's not as green and yellow as the Chinese cabbage grown outside, but in winter, it's good to have fresh Chinese cabbage to eat! What color does it matter?

Li Chengqian here, naturally there are some excellent Chinese cabbage, not much, after all, the yellowed Chinese cabbage can also be eaten, such a superb Chinese cabbage is purely to show off his own glass greenhouse.

In view of the fact that this thing is released, it will only surprise everyone, it is only a small supply, and the people of the Li family can eat a meal of excellent Chinese cabbage every three or five days.

It's pitiful to say, what every household will enjoy in the future is now a royal special!

In the past, many people have thought about why the Chinese cabbage grown in the greenhouse at home is so different from the naturally grown Chinese cabbage, which looks delicious, but the Chinese cabbage in the greenhouse is not very good.

Now, it is rumored that the Chinese cabbage grown in the glass greenhouse of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is normal, which confirms this, and the Chinese cabbage will turn yellow if it is not exposed to the sun.

Someone raised the question of how to make their own greenhouse have sunlight.

So, you can only use glass, a small piece of glass can be bought, a large piece of glass? I'm sorry, I can't afford it!

This matter reached Li Chengqian's ears, and Li Chengqian scolded with a smile: "Why don't you use the mirror to reflect the light?" ”

This joke was heard, and some people really tested it and found that it worked! Suddenly, Li Chengqian's fame increased greatly.

A casual word can solve a big problem, is this still human? It's just a fairy!

This incident reached Li Chengqian's ears, and Li Chengqian almost died of laughter, it was too good! This is simply bullying the servants of the house!

The mirror must be constantly adjusted, isn't this done by the servants of the house? Amusing!

But this incident reminded him, and he remembered that the sun cooker was such a thing, a very simple thing, and it could boil water in winter.

He can't get a solar water heater, but he can afford a solar cooker! Soon, the first solar cooker was built.

It is to put small pieces of mirrors on the curved surface and let them gather the sunlight at one point.

This thing caused a shock in the Ministry of Industry!

Such an easy idea, such an amazing effect! That's the real invention!

Li Chengqian said that this thing is not powerful, he knows an integrated solar cooker, that is really powerful.

He is a small piece of mirror, first, he can't make a large mirror, and second, he can't make an uneven mirror.

"It's a pity, I'm limited to science and technology, I can only build such a solar cooker, the biggest disadvantage of this solar cooker is that the mirror will fall, and it will fall off after a long time, and the integrated solar cooker will not." Li Chengqian said.

Everyone was speechless, such a great invention, but they were still not satisfied? Terrible!
