As soon as he heard Li Yuan ask about Du Chengfeng, Li Shimin's face was filled with a strange look, in his heart, he had long regarded Du Chengfeng as the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father Qibing, this Du Chengfeng has made a great contribution to my Tang Dynasty, and he is a peerless genius that is rare to see in a thousand years."

"Not only is calligraphy the best in the world, but also the literary style is outstanding, and there is also a shocking talent for governing the country and the country. Not long ago, two high-yield crops were offered: one is high-yield rice that can yield more than ten stones per mu, and the other is sweet potatoes that can yield up to dozens of stones per mu. ”

"There is also the locust plague that has plagued the people for thousands of years, which was also solved by Du Chengfeng. If such a talent is arranged to be the imperial chef in the palace, it is really overkill, so he asked his father to take back his fate. ”

Li Shimin didn't dare to hide it, and told Du Chengfeng's deeds one by one.

As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan is naturally not an unreasonable person.

Hearing that Li Shimin told him about this young man, he had already dispelled the idea of letting him enter the palace, and he was more shocked and delighted.

Such talents should serve Datang even more, how can they bury useful talents because of the temptation of some delicacies?

"Shimin, come and talk about this amazing boy as we go, and tell me everything about this amazing young man." Li Yuan became interested, so he asked Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong's eldest grandson to accompany him to get up and walk towards the garden outside the palace.

Next, Li Shimin introduced all Du Chengfeng's deeds to Li Yuan in detail. Descriptions were also given, including high-yielding rice and sweet potatoes that are still being planted.

After listening to Li Shimin's account, Li Yuan suddenly became a little annoyed, subconsciously stopped, stared at Li Shimin and scolded: "Such an excellent young genius, you actually tell me now that he has been selling wine?" Shimin, how did you become the emperor? Yes! ”

The more Li Yuan scolded, the more angry he became, his facial muscles trembled, and his beard floated up.

As if he didn't feel that it was enough to relieve his hatred, he pointed at Li Shimin's head tremblingly and continued to scold: "Merit will be rewarded and guilt will be punished, you tell me what you are doing?" ”

"A young man from a mountain village has made such a great contribution to your Datang, what about you? How did you become an emperor? ”

"I don't appreciate anything, I don't even blush at all when I shamelessly occupy other people's things. I handed over Datang to you, did you make your heart chill like this? ”

was suddenly scolded by his father so coldly, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

It seems that his father has never scolded him like this since he was a child.

He has always been considered by everyone to be the pride of the sky, and Wen Taowu is proficient in everything.

Now that he is scolded by his father, Li Shimin feels as if he has been greatly wronged.

Li Shimin wanted to explain, but after thinking about it carefully: his father seemed to be scolding unreasonably.

He took so many benefits from Du Chengfeng, and it seems that he has never rewarded anyone with a penny.

Du Chengfeng contributed high-yield rice and sweet potatoes, pointed out his own printing technology, and proposed four strategies to control locusts.

But what about yourself? It seems to take it for granted that these are all things that Du Chengfeng should dedicate.

Although Li Shimin himself had planned to wait for Du Chengfeng to wait for the rice harvest, but even so, aside from these two high-yield crops, Du Chengfeng's contribution is indelible.

The printing improvement method proposed by Du Chengfeng has been successfully tested by the supervision and the efficiency is very ideal. 118

Through this method, not only the efficiency of printing is greatly improved, but also the cost of books is greatly reduced.

Although this is only a small change, it is also a major event.

This skill is completely comparable to Cai Lun's papermaking technique in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, Li Shimin himself knew that he did ignore this matter.

He just took it for granted that this was just a little contribution that Du Chengfeng should make to the Tang Dynasty when he met him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Then there are Du Chengfeng's four strategies for controlling locusts, which have been tested by the officials of the royal manor and have also achieved remarkable results.

What's even more commendable is that with these four strategies for controlling locusts, Datang may never have to worry about the threat of locust plagues in the future.

According to Yuan Lao's speculation, Li Shimin is also very sure that Du Chengfeng is the noble man of the Tang Dynasty and the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty.

There are also the two prescriptions that Du Chengfeng gave to him for free a few days ago.

But on the other hand, what did he do? For this noble fortune star of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin just silently enjoyed the fruits brought by Du Chengfeng, but ignored Du Chengfeng, let alone any rewards.

Although Du Chengfeng has never mentioned it, he has never taken the initiative to ask for any reward.

But indeed, as my father said, will it chill people's hearts if it's always like this?

At this moment, Li Shimin deeply felt ashamed of Du Chengfeng. Not long after he sat on the throne, he seemed to be a little carried away.

Li Yuan saw that Li Shimin had not spoken for a long time, and he was even more angry, and he ignored the embarrassment of Empress Changsun and Li Xiaogong standing on the side to watch Li Shimin.

looked at Li Shimin again: "What's the matter, dumb?" Am I wrong? If you don't speak, it means that your heart is empty, right? ”

Li Shimin's face turned even redder when he heard this, and he could only explain stubbornly: "Father, I was indeed negligent, chilled the hearts of meritorious people, and lived up to my father's expectations, I will definitely correct it." ”

After Li Shimin said this, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Li Yuan's face, feeling a little relieved.

"Humph!" Li Yuan snorted heavily.

Li Shimin was flustered by this cold snort, and swallowed nervously the words he had just organized.

Empress Changsun is a sharp-eyed and careful person, and when she saw Li Shimin's increasing flustery, she hurriedly said: "Father, the second brother is just anxious to deal with the government for a while, and he is negligent for a while, I believe he will definitely remedy it in time." Father, don't be angry anymore, take care of your body. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly glanced at Li Shimin and motioned him to strike while the iron was hot.

Li Shimin comprehended and raised his voice slightly. said: "Father, when I first met Du Chengfeng, I saw that he was a talent who governed the country, and I also promised him to allow him to study in the country for a year, and then make him the crown prince. ”

But Du Chengfeng refused without hesitation, and said that he disdained to gain fame in this way. That's why I thought I'd wait for him to wait for the rice harvest before I waited for him. ”

Li Yuan listened to Li Shimin's explanation, let out a long sigh, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "Alas! O people of the world, you are wise and foolish for a lifetime. Du Chengfeng has such an amazing knowledge and talent, and listening to what you just said, this kid is extremely disgusted with Confucianism and Taoism. ”

"You still let him enter the national prison, does such a person need to enter the national prison? What can Guozijian teach him, tell me? The so-called people make the best use of their talents, don't you know what the prince does? ”

"You understand the truth of knowing people and making good use of them, but don't you think it's a bit overkill for you to let such an excellent talent be the prince's middle house? Don't you think it's a waste of talent? Do you think that Du Chengfeng will feel comfortable? ”
