Chapter 155: The bet is placed under the dragon chair

"Your Majesty, the floods in Henan have been eliminated. Now that the people have begun to cultivate, His Royal Highness King Xian stayed in Henan Province to preside over the overall situation. The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and just wanted to say two words of praise. But suddenly his brows tightened, and he asked the eldest grandson Wuji, "What did you say?" The people of Henan Province are farming? ”

"The emperor heard it right, what the minister said is that the people of Henan are farming." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said to Li Shimin.

"Eldest grandson Wuji, this is not the place where you are unscrupulous. It's autumn now, and it's not foolish to start farming now. Wei Zheng on the side opened his mouth and asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

"You know what a fart, Li Chengqian's kid can talk about it. The one he planted was called winter wheat, which was a high-grade seed that was planted in the ice and harvested in the fire. ”

"I'm afraid that even if you Wei Zheng read the whole book, such a magical seed is unheard of, right?" Cheng Yanjin pursed his lips and said to Wei Zheng.

"Father, the son thinks that the royal brother is just playing tricks. How can crops grow in a snowy winter? Unless it can be harvested in a month or two. Li Tai, the king of Yue, opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

At this time, Wang Wu also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Xian is suspected of bullying the king. Please also ask the emperor to send someone to investigate thoroughly. ”

To be honest, even Li Shimin didn't believe that crops could be grown in autumn. However, Li Shimin feels that Li Chengqian is definitely not a person without a target.

And since it can make the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin feel that what he is doing is feasible. This is absolutely not nonsense.

So he asked: "Since ancient times, spring planting and autumn harvest have been the same truth. Now that the virtuous king Li Chengqian wants to reverse the season, it is indeed unacceptable. ”

"Your Majesty, King Xian has already met today's situation. So I specially asked the minister to bring something to the emperor. After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang De.

Li Shimin took the letter from Wang De's hand, opened it and couldn't help but smile. Then he said: "I don't know if you Aiqing think this autumn planting and spring harvest can come true?" ”

"Your Majesty, flowers bloom in season, and so does the growth of the banker. Therefore, even if His Royal Highness King Xian said that the sky was broken, I, Kong Yingda, would never believe it. Kong Yingda opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

Then everyone spoke one after another, saying that what Li Chengqian said was absolutely nonsense. He even suggested that Li Shimin should be punished for Li Chengqian's crime of bullying the king.

The smile on Li Shimin's face did not change in the slightest, but continued to speak: "I don't know which Aiqing thinks that what the virtuous king Li Chengqian has done can be done?" ”

"Your Majesty, I don't think that kid will be joking. I am willing to support that boy, believing that he will be able to grow grain for the autumn and spring harvest. Cheng Yanjin was the first to stand up in support of Li Chengqian and said.

At the same time, Wei Chigong also stood up and said to Li Shimin: "Although the minister doesn't understand this, the minister thinks that kid is quite reliable. The minister is willing to support that kid to succeed. ”

Subsequently, those who supported Li Chengqian also spoke one after another, all of them willing to feel that what Li Chengqian said was true. Autumn planting and spring harvest are not necessarily impossible.

However, what made Li Shimin feel helpless was that there were only a few people who supported Li Chengqian. Compared with those who are not optimistic about Li Chengqian, it is not even half a percent.

After Li Shimin saw the gap between the two sides, he opened his mouth and said to everyone: "I have a gambling contract in my hand, I don't know if you dare to sign this gambling contract." ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he ordered Wang De to pass on the gambling contract to everyone to watch. After everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked, and for a while, there was a whispering sound in the Taiji Hall.

This gambling contract was written by Li Chengqian, and it was clearly written. If you think that Li Chengqian is grandstanding, then make a bet with Li Chengqian.

If Li Chengqian loses, Li Chengqian is willing to hand over all the industries of the 21st century to the imperial court. If Li Chengqian really achieves the autumn planting and spring harvest, those officials who bet against Li Chengqian will have to give up a year's worth of money. He also donated 500 stone of grain to the household department.

It can be said that this bet is really not small, so everyone can't help but ask each other one by one. Hesitated to sign the gambling contract.

And Li Chengqian made it clear in the gambling contract that if he didn't dare to bet with Li Chengqian. Let them close their beaks, because they don't even dare to insist on their own ideas, and they are not qualified to comment on what Li Chengqian has done.

On the contrary to those people, Xu Maogong, eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chigong picked up the wolf pen one after another, signed their names on the gambling contract, and also pressed their handprints.

However, Li Shimin signed his name on the position of the central guarantor, and also stamped the jade seal of the country.

When these officials saw Xu Maogong and Qin Qiong, they all thought that Li Chengqian could do it. It made them hesitate even more.

In the end, only a few people signed the gambling contract, including Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling.

As for Wang Wu and Hou Junji, who had a grudge against Li Chengqian, they naturally signed their names without hesitation.

Although in the end, I didn't let all the people who just called for the solution sign. However, the number of people is more than double that of those who support Li Chengqian.

And even Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, who has always been calm, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia. They also felt that Li Chengqian could not succeed.

After Li Shimin took the gambling contract from Wang De's hand, he folded it neatly. Then let Wang De put it under his dragon chair.

Then he opened his mouth and said to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu: "This gambling contract will be placed under my dragon chair, and I will open it with you Aiqing in the spring of next year." Of course, the losing side has to fulfill the bet. ”

After dealing with the gambling contract, the eldest grandson Wuji spoke again: "Your Majesty, there are a total of twenty-eight state capitals flooded in Henan Province this time. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected. Although the imperial court sowed a large amount of relief food, it also felt like a drop in the bucket. ”

Thanks to King Li Chengqian, he ordered the 21st century to deliver disaster relief money and grain to the 28 prefectures affected by the disaster in Henan Province. The number of them is more than double that allocated by the imperial court. ”

"It is precisely because of the transfer of these grains that there is not a single displaced person in the 28 prefectures in Henan Province. Therefore, in this Henan Province disaster relief, the virtuous king Li Chengqian should be the first to take the lead. ”

"It's nonsense, the grain taken out by the virtuous king Li Chengqian is more than twice as much as the disaster relief grain of the imperial court. Don't you think it's a joke? Wang Wu asked the eldest grandson Wuji when he came out of class.

"I don't know why you are so arbitrary, and you still think that this official is telling the truth?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked with an angry look at Wang Wu.

"May I ask the head of the household, how much food and how much money has been allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief this time?" Wang Wu opened his mouth and asked Hubu Shangshu.
