Chapter 236: Green Vegetables in the Greenhouse
Using firearm drawings as bargaining chips and begging Li Shimin to marry Dongyang to him was an idea that Li Su had conceived a long time ago, just because Li Su had a sense of historical responsibility in his heart, or a sense of historical fear. There are too many new firearms and they are too complicated, which may not be a good thing for Datang.
A vigorous country, the monarch is heroic, the courtiers are virtuous, the civil officials are not greedy for money, the military generals are not afraid of death, the folk atmosphere is fierce and simple, this is a country full of hope, from the monarch to the people, everyone's strength is in one place, and strive to achieve national peace and security, sweeping the world externally.
If Li Su had not appeared, history would still have followed its original trajectory.
However, Li Su came, and the new firearms also came, as if the magic box had been opened, and the soldiers of the Tang Army, who were already invincible in the world, became more and more arrogant and arrogant because of the appearance of firearms, and after the joy of invincibility, from the court to the army, from the palace to the people, will everyone's temperament be arrogant and arrogant because of arrogance, and suffer from the catastrophe of arrogance?
The consequences were too strict, and Li Su did not dare to draw the drawings for a long time, for fear that the thriving Tang Dynasty would shorten the national throne because of him.
However, after the murder of the Feng family, the prince endured it and did not make it, and Li Su had a very strict sense of crisis, and Li Su had to make arrangements in advance for this enemy.
The drawings of firearms are one of the arrangements, which can be used to ask Li Shimin, saying that it is a marriage proposal, but in fact it is also a disguised bargaining chip, not only asking to marry Dongyang, but also making Li Shimin feel more important in his heart, and feel that he is an indispensable talent, so that in the face of the prince's revenge, at least he can stand in the place of self-preservation.
Li Shimin was willing to marry Dongyang to him for the sake of the drawings and his young hero, Li Su was not sure, and now he can get it. That's all there is to it.
As for the Tang Dynasty, Li Su had to show his superiority, he knew that after Li Shimin's death, it was not Li Chengqian who inherited the throne of the next generation of monarchs.
This is also the confidence of Li Su to dare to offend Li Chengqian.
The shoulder was gently pushed by Dongyang. Li Su came back to his senses and turned his head to see a pair of bright eyes.
"Hey, what are you babbling about? You don't answer the question, what is the 'magic box'? ”
Li Su was stunned: "I said the magic box?" ”
Dongyang nodded affirmatively: "You said it." ”
"Don't worry about the details, come on, you sit down a little bit......"
Dongyang's face flushed, and he cautiously glanced at the guards waiting in the distance behind him, and then sat down with Li Su shyly.
Li Su put his backhand around her shoulder, and Dongyang obediently rested his head on his shoulder. The two sat side by side, quietly enjoying a rare floating leisure.
"Li Su, you say...... Will my father agree to our marriage? Dongyang asked faintly.
Li Su hugged her hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Whether you agree or not, we must live well in this life." ”
*********************************************************
Entering November, the weather in Guanzhong is wickedly cold.
Sunny days are becoming less and less frequent, and not only cold. And it's dry, and I go out every day and look up. The sky was gray.
These days, except for drawing drawings and going to the firearms bureau to deal errands, the rest of the time I squat in my own field and take care of the greenhouse.
The shed has long been erected, and the problem of constant temperature is easy to solve, and the most difficult thing to solve is light.
Early in the morning, Li Su squatted beside Tian Mo in a daze.
It is not easy to eat green vegetables in winter, and the problem of greenhouse light is not solved. This winter, he still has to eat meat, as well as the occasional bite or two of a few soft wilting wild vegetables dug out of nowhere, Li Su hated it.
The puppy named "God's Gift" by his father has grown up a little, and he is still cute, and he has been well nourished in the Li family these days. Chubby and round, obviously overnourished, lying quietly beside Li Su, like a round ball of meat, but still lazy, rarely expressing to the owner the flattery that a dog should have, Li Suyan zhòng suspected that this guy was actually a lazy, elegant and arrogant cat, but wearing a dog skin.
The fat on the dog's face was squeezed into irregular balls, fat like King Wei, lying quietly at his feet, from time to time with a long and arrogant yawn, after smacking the dog's mouth, he breathed in his nostrils, as if sighing at this boring world and the boring master beside him......
Look at the children in the village in the distance, the local dog at home ran with the little master, the tail was about to be broken, and from time to time it made an excited bark, the little master was impatient to kick it aside, the earth dog was not discouraged, nor did he feel that it hurt his self-esteem, and soon he came up again, flattering to the outrageous.
Li Su looked into the distance enviously, and sighed, other people's dogs ......
Tianci seemed to sense the master's dissatisfaction, and compared with those vulgar peers, the master obviously had some disdain for it, so he reluctantly stood up and licked Li Su's palm twice, which was considered flattering, and then opened its dog eyes and looked at Li Su, showing a very clear anti-disdain in his eyes: "Okay, okay, okay, I've licked you, don't be hypocritical......"
The dog ecology is too improper!
Li Su never knew that he would be angry with a dog.
"Eating dog meat hot pot in winter should be very ......" Li Su muttered to himself, rubbed his dog belly, and grabbed a large handful of fatty meat: "And it's so fat, so tender......"
Tianci breathed out from his nostrils again, revealing a very determined look, I am like this, are you willing to eat?
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and Li Su smiled, and he didn't need to turn around to know who was coming, and he could hear it from the sound of horses' hooves with an aggressive rhythm.
"I don't go to Chang'an City these days, what are you doing at home?" The sound of hooves stopped behind him, and Cheng Chumo's rough thunderous voice came.
Li Su smiled and saluted: "Brother Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Don't make these false courtesies, it's uncomfortable......" Cheng Chumo waved his hand with a big grin, pointed to the shed set up in the field, and said: "Good land, why do you make these arches?" ”
"Green vegetables, green vegetables to eat in winter." Li Su's answer was concise and clear.
"Green cabbage in winter?" Cheng Chumo's eyes widened in shock.
"As long as the heart is sincere, there must be."
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment. Nodding slowly: "My father is right, you are really a capable person, and you can always make new things......"
Walking two steps closer, Cheng Chu inadvertently found Tianci lying on the ground, Tianci was very rude, and he didn't even bother to raise his head.
"Your dog?" Cheng Chu's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
Cheng Chumo was instantly cute. Squatted down and kneaded the fat all over its body, causing Tianci to let out a low growl of dissatisfaction.
"Good dog!" Cheng Chumo blurted out: "There is a lot of meat, fat and tender, we can eat it all day long after peeling the skin and cooking it......"
Li Su suddenly showed the feeling of being a hero and cherishing a hero: "Raise again, please eat dog meat next month." ”
Tianci finally didn't calm down, let out a scream, and rolled away with his tail between his legs in an unusually rounded way.
Li Su looked at it and fled, and couldn't help but smile proudly, dog thing. I can't cure you.
…………
"What do you mean by green cabbage?" Cheng Chumo pointed to the vegetable patch curiously and said, "Build a few arches and you will have green vegetables to eat?" ”
Li Suzheng said: "Of course not, how can things in the world be so easy?" If you want to eat green vegetables in winter, you must not only build an arch, but also burn incense and worship the vegetable field every day, and keep chanting 'green, green, green, green', and then you will have green vegetables ......to eat."
Cheng Chumo's eyes widened and he looked at him in shock. After a long time, he ate and said: "...... It's true? ”
"Don't make a fuss. Fake, of course. ”
Cheng Chumo: "............"
It's really tiring to associate with people like this......
"Don't make a fuss, tell me quickly, how do you grow green vegetables?" Cheng Chumo was very curious, even eager.
In these years, even if it is a rich and noble family, it is not easy to eat green vegetables in winter, and it is relatively easy for the royal family. There is a special food supervisor in the palace, but he can only plant some soft and wilting lotus vegetables in winter, and this thing is still regarded by Li Shimin as a great favor to send ministers everywhere, and the ministers who receive lotus vegetables are often grateful to cry bitterly, and swear to die for His Majesty for this lotus dish at every turn. It's a mess of sensationalism.
"There is still one thing missing to grow it......" Li Su said slowly.
"Lack of incense to pray?" Cheng Chumo is not smart, and smart people will not be so involved in Li Su's nonsense.
Li Su threw a roll of his eyes: "Can you be normal?" What is missing is a kind of cloth, a very thin cloth, which can not only ensure the temperature in the shed, but also shine the sun......"
Cheng Chu was silent for a moment, and then slapped his chest fiercely: "This is easy, you wait for me, I'll go back!" ”
After speaking, Cheng Chumo turned around and got on the horse, and killed towards Chang'an City like a whirlwind.
After waiting for more than three hours, from morning to afternoon, I saw dust rising at the end of the village entrance in the distance, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from afar, with that unreasonable rhythm, a bit like a very familiar song, such as "The Great River Flows Eastward Wow......
This time, Cheng Chumo did not come alone, he was followed by a group of fierce and murderous tribes, each holding a bundle of colorful things in one hand and a reins in the other, like a group of bandits who had just robbed the bride's dowry.
The crowd stopped not far from Li Su, Cheng Chu waved silently, and the fierce and vicious subordinates threw bundles of colorful things in front of Li Su, which turned out to be a pile of various silk cloths with different patterns and different qualities, and there were no less than dozens of types.
Li Su was dumbfounded, and Cheng Chumo waved his hand generously: "Pick!" Take your pick! Which is appropriate and which is applicable. ”
"You...... Just bought? ”
Cheng Chu glared silently: "Buy?" Do you need to buy a sample of cloth? Give him face! ”
"Robbed?"
"The ones sent are all sent by the merchants who sell cloth in the East Market!"
This lawless bastard......
It's good to make such a friend, and how much cost you have saved.
