Datang is romantic and open.

Li Xiao has been in Datang for so long, and he has become more and more understanding of Datang's tolerance and openness.

"Really send me?" Gao Yang asked him.

"If you say you will send it, it's just a little pepper seed, and it's not a golden jade." Li Xiao replied, "For you, planting in the garden is equivalent to a potted plant, but for me, it's just a vegetable. ”

"But this dish is now the only one you have in the whole world, and the spicy nature of this chili pepper is more authentic, which is a good thing." Gao Yang grabbed a fiery dried chili pepper and turned it with a smile. "If the business is good, chili pepper will definitely become a popular spice like pepper, and then the price will be more than gold."

Gao Yang is a beautiful woman and a noble princess, but her mind is also very smart. A spicy hot pot made her keenly intuitively know that chili peppers are a valuable thing.

No one has it, and if you get it well, it will be worth a lot of money.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Princess, what you said is indeed right, but the key is to operate." has to be marketed, there are good things, sometimes it may not be worth it, or it has to make people feel that it is valuable, so in the future, the princess will have to help promote this pepper. ”

"Haha, what's the benefit of helping you get the word out?" Gao Yang looked at Li Xiao.

"In the future, I will cover all the chili peppers in the princess's mansion." Li Xiao laughed.

"Not enough." Gao Yang shook her head, there was a glimmer of light in her eyes, which made Li Xiao a little scared. has been in contact with Gao Yang for a long time, and he no longer has the same perception of Gao Yang as he did at the beginning.

When he first met Gao Yang, he was limited by the definition of Gao Yang in history in his mind, so he was prejudiced against her from the beginning. The more you can touch, the more you will find a side that is not in the historical image.

That's a living person, a woman with a lot of attraction and admiration.

It's hard to ignore.

Li Xiao turned his head, he was afraid of her gaze, he was afraid of getting lost in her gaze.

"If the princess is willing, I can teach the princess how to plant chili peppers, and plant all the land in your village with chili peppers."

The princess shook her head.

"Forget it, you still keep the peppers and grow them yourself, I have enough seeds, you don't need to plant too much, just plant a few pots in the yard."

"The chili pepper brought back from the South China Sea, Li Sanlang from the south of the Yangtze River." Gao Yang shook his head, "Sometimes, I really feel like I can't see through you." After five years, you are no longer the Li Sanlang I met on the banks of the Qujiang River in Chang'an. At that time, you were young, but now you are chic but seem to know everything. I really don't know what kind of experience you've had in the past five years. ”

Li Xiao nodded.

"Five years, a long time, time and circumstances can change people. Five years and half of the Tang Dynasty's travels have really changed me differently than before. In the past, I was just the son of a small landlord in Gyeonggi. ”

"Aren't you really going to go on a career path?" Gao Yang asked seriously, "With your smart mind and knowledge, I dare to say that you can develop very well in your career." I didn't see him, my hands and eyes were up to the sky. You just nod, and I will help you ask for a favor in front of him, and with the pleasure of today's meal, he will definitely help you. ”

"At least it can be a Chang'an army start."

Chang'an's joining the army, this is a very exciting position. Chang'an is Gyeonggi Chi County, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the county orders are all six-grade officials, and Liecao joined the army, which is equivalent to the various bureaus of the imperial capital in later generations, which shows that he is high and powerful.

As soon as he debuted and joined the army, he could join the army in Chang'an, which is a treatment that many people can't get.

I think that Li Jing, the god of war back then, was in the Sui Dynasty, because he was born in Guanlong nobles, his own family was a general, and his uncle was Han Baohu, who was one of the four fierce generals of the Sui Dynasty, was very talented when he was a teenager, and then he started as a Gongcao of Chang'an to join the army.

Li Xiao, a small Lanxi landlord, has only a rank of six grades on his body, and he can directly join the army in Chang'an, which is simply a rocket.

However, Li Xiao turned his head to look at the young man who was talking to the beautiful woman over there, and still shook his head and refused.

No diamonds, no porcelain work.

He has a few catties and a few taels, Li Xiao is still clear.

As long as he has no fame and no family background, he boldly wants to join the army in Chang'an, and there will definitely be no good results.

Even if he does, others will definitely treat him as a dog of Princess Gaoyang, just like the bad handsomeness of Chang'an, who would really look down on such a person.

Besides, Gao Yang himself in history is about to be difficult to protect, at this time, if Li Xiao is recommended by Gao Yang to become an official, isn't it uncomfortable?

Gao Yang seemed to be prepared for Li Xiao's refusal, and he was not too surprised to see it.

"San Lang, ask you something, you tell me the truth. What you told me about Pingliaoce that day, did you really come up with it yourself? ”

Li Xiao was a little vigilant, "That day was just a moment of nonsense for me, you didn't tell others, right?" ”

"Nonsense? I think you're talking nonsense now, and since you're saying that, forget it. Today we went back first, thank you for the hot pot hospitality, although it is a little spicy, but it is really pleasant. And, I find that I appreciate you more and more as a person. ”

Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Princess, you said that you admire me, can't I change it?" ”

"Nasty!"

······

Li Zhi rode a horse, and Gao Yang and Wu also rode a horse, half behind their peers.

"I just asked Li Xiao again, and he said that the Ping Liaoce he told me that day was just his momentary nonsense, and it didn't seem that someone else told him." Gao Yang said to Li Zhidao.

Li Zhi's mouth was still numb, and today's meal made him have a great appetite and eat very happily. After listening to Gao Yang's words, he said slowly, "I also asked people to check, Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, etc. have never had such a flat Liaoce, so although this matter is bizarre, it is indeed very likely that it is really this Li Sanlang's nonsense." ”

When Gao Yang heard this, he hurriedly said, "But didn't Your Majesty say that this Ping Liaoce is very good?" ”

"Well, it's very good, it's excellent, even Li Ji, Eldest Sun Wuji and others have praised it again and again." Li Zhi stroked his short beard, "The Chinese Wu Gongqing, there is no strategy that has come to mind, but let a countryman come up with it, but he also said that it is cranky and nonsense, where do you say this puts Shu and the Manchu Gongqing?" ”

"Countryside relics, this Li Xiao is a talent."

"Your Majesty, I told him just now, saying that as long as he is willing, I can ask you for help and let him join the army as a Chang'an, but Your Majesty, do you know how he answered?"

"Oh, how do you say that? Is it possible to refuse? ”

Gao Yang nodded, "Exactly, he refused." ”

"Could it be that the rank of the officer of Chang'an's Liecao is too low?"

"No, he didn't want to be an official at all, he just wanted to be a country landlord."

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhi shook his head, and even the Wu clan shook his head in disbelief.

In this world, there are actually small landlords who are unwilling to come out to be officials?
