Chapter Twenty-Eight: Li Er's Promise

It is now the end of May, and the seedlings in the field have already grown taller, swaying gently in the summer breeze.

Zhao Chen has been walking around with Lao Qin for the past few days, but mainly in the fields. The whole plain was developed by the wingmen, and rice was planted in the fields of large mountains.

In the sloping land that is not suitable for growing rice, Zhao Chen asked his staff to plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other miscellaneous grains. Even in front of and behind each house, Zhao Chen also asked them to plant vegetables and the like, which really did not waste a penny or an acre of land.

The land in the south is fertile, and as long as you are willing to plant, you can basically plant anything, and the whole plain is now green and full of life.

Lao Qin's footsteps were very casual, basically following Datian, Zhao Chen had to accompany him, it could be seen that Lao Qin's face was very bad, and this was originally a barren grass beach.

Now, in just a few months, Zhao Chen has turned into a place full of vitality, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth!

But the more this is the case, the more uncomfortable Lao Qin's heart becomes!

These high-yield grains were originally dedicated by Zhao Chen to the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for Zhao Chen's departure, then this vibrant scene in front of him should be Chang'an or the entire Guanzhong, but unfortunately, it is in Lingnan, which is thousands of miles away.

Every time Lao Qin thought about it, he couldn't help but grit his teeth fiercely, and his eyes flashed with a gloomy light, such a scene should really be seen by those people in Chang'an.

"How much does this rice yield per mu?" Lao Qin has been to Jiangnan, so he has naturally seen rice, but it seems that the rice he has seen is different from the one in front of him, thinking that it may be the high-yield rice that Zhao Chen took out. Lao Qin couldn't help but ask.

"Now the kid can't guarantee it!" Zhao Chen followed and squatted beside Lao Qin, reaching out to touch a piece of rice in the field. said: "However, the kid has a preliminary estimate. About five or six hundred catties per mu is no problem! ”

Five or six hundred pounds! This is Zhao Chen's conservative estimate, the rice yield of later generations can be 800 to 1,000 per mu, but it is the application of chemical fertilizer, Zhao Chen did not plan to take out chemical fertilizer from the beginning, there is no need for that.

Hearing this, Lao Qin let out a long sigh, stood up and walked forward, and before passing a field, Lao Qin would stop to see the growth of the crops inside.

Finally when the two of them came to the slope. When he saw the large slices of potatoes, Lao Qin's expression was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he suddenly took a deep breath and waved his hand at Zhao Chenyi, and suddenly lost the interest in watching.

When he came back from outside, Lao Qin locked himself in a tent, and no one was seen, and no one was allowed to enter the tent.

"Are you okay, Brother Chen?" Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen. They all sat side by side in front of the tent, keeping an eye on the movements in the tent, and after a moment of silence, they would glance at the tent behind them. When he turned his head, he asked Zhao Chen worriedly.

"It's okay!" Zhao Chen shook his head and said. Lao Qin had resentment in his heart. Zhao Chen understands this, and the more he sees him playing here. The heart will grow more and more resentful.

For dinner, Zhao Chen boiled a pot of glutinous rice porridge for Lao Qin alone. After Lao Qin finished drinking the rice porridge, he put the bowl on the table next to him, casually pointed to the chair on the side, and motioned for Zhao Chen to sit down.

This is about to be a formal conversation, since Lao Qin came here, Li Er has never been mentioned, firstly, for fear of destroying the atmosphere of the difficult meeting, and secondly, he also wants to observe the specific situation of Zhao Chen here.

Now, even if you understand it, it's natural to sit down and talk about it formally!

"Boy, tell me what you're going to do!" As soon as Lao Qin waited for Zhao Chen to sit down, he sat cross-legged on the couch, and looked at Zhao Chen with a serious face.

"Uncle Qin, the kid likes this place!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he smiled bitterly at Lao Qin, and then, still answering Jiang Chao before, said to Lao Qin.

"I can't eat it if I like it!" When Lao Qin heard Zhao Chen's words, his expression paused slightly, and then he looked at Zhao Chen with a serious face and said, "This is not a long-term place after all!" ”

Seeing Zhao Chen looking at him silently, Lao Qin suddenly sighed, his eyes softened, he looked at Zhao Chen and said: "This time, the old man knows that you have been greatly wronged in your heart, and if you are the old man, the old man will be the same as you in his heart!" ”

As he spoke, Lao Qin looked at Zhao Chen, his tone changed, and he said seriously: "But kid, do you know, you are just now just reaching the crown, and there is still a long way to go!" You can stay in this place today and do whatever you want, but what about the future? ”

When Zhao Chen heard this, his mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he sighed and fell silent.

"After all, you can't live without fame and fortune in this life!" Lao Qin looked at Zhao Chen and continued: "The old man has been fighting horses for half his life, and now he is injured, what are you doing here?" At the end of the day, it's not just for these four words! ”

"The old man told you a few years ago that he would send you to your Uncle Cheng's men as pawns at the beginning of spring!" Lao Qin frowned and looked at Zhao Chen, and said, "Do you remember this matter?" ”

Zhao Chen heard this and nodded. This was the first time Lao Qin told him about the secret of the hidden door, and ran to Li Er to prove Zhao Chen's innocence, and on the way out of the palace, Lao Qin told him.

"The old man came to Lingnan this time, and he saw that you really didn't have two hearts here, but the old man was very relieved!" Lao Qin saw Zhao Chen nodding, looked at Zhao Chen again, and said with some disappointment: "But in the same way, the old man is also very disappointed!" ”

When Zhao Chen heard Lao Qin say this, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had suddenly heard something shocking, and the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously.

Lao Qin's words are too scary, is this to persuade him to rebel?

"Don't look at the old man like that, if you really do that, the old man will personally bring troops to kill you!" Lao Qin's eyes glanced at Zhao Chen casually, but the words he said were full of murderous energy.

When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately looked at Lao Qin in puzzlement, and listened to Lao Qin and said: "The reason why the old man is disappointed is because you kid lacks a kind of struggle in Uncle Cheng's bones!" You kid is too sleek, sleek for a long time, and there is a lack of competition in your bones! ”

"Just like now, at such a young age, I already want to live here for the rest of my life!" Lao Qin said, his face suddenly said with some anger: "With your master, you have the ability to change the world, but you can't stand a little setback, and when you have setbacks, you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle, run to this barren mountain and wild place, and live for the rest of your life!" I thought it was amazing! ”

Zhao Chen's unceremonious reprimand from Lao Qin was really sweating!

Lao Qin is right, he is indeed too sleek, from entering Datang, seeing everyone in Datang, he has dealt with it carefully, try not to offend those who can not be offended, and avoid it if he can't afford it, if something happens, if he can solve it in other ways, he will never rush up stupidly and fight to break the blood!

I always think that this is the way to deal with people, but I don't know that this is actually an escape from reality!

"This time, the old man came at the behest of His Majesty!" Lao Qin saw Zhao Chen sitting there, his forehead was full of cold sweat, so he also put away the seriousness on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty's meaning is to let the old man invite you kid back to Chang'an no matter what this time!" ”

Zhao Chen, who was originally reflecting, suddenly turned cold in his eyes when he heard Lao Qin mention Li Er, raised his head to look at Lao Qin, and asked with some mockery: "Did you promise to give two school palaces this time?" ”

Last time, when Li Er asked Cheng Yanjin to go to Qinling to find him, he promised to give him a school palace, and at that time, after hearing it, he left without hesitation!

"It's not!" Lao Qin naturally also knew about the last time he learned from the palace, because when His Majesty said this, he was next to him.

Therefore, when he heard Zhao Chen's mocking words, he was not annoyed, and said patiently: "Your Majesty asked you to go back to Chang'an this time, and promised that once you return to Chang'an, I will immediately make you a county candidate!" ”

Feudal marquis? When Zhao Chen heard Lao Qin's words, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and it was the pursuit of the ministers to pay homage to the prime minister, especially the one that Li Er personally sealed, which was much more valuable than the title of Lao Li Yuan.

The ninth rank of Datang Fanjue: one is the king, the second is the heir king, the county king, the third is the national prince, the fourth is the founding county prince, the fifth is the founding county prince, the sixth is the founding county marquis, the seventh is the founding county uncle, the eighth is the founding county son, and the ninth is the founding county male.

Zhao Chen was originally a cloth cloth, and he didn't even have a grade before, but now, Li Er wants to knight him all of a sudden, and he is an exception to be directly named a marquis, and he is directly named a marquis from a cloth cloth!

This is the first time in Li Er's court! Dividing the title, Li Er has always been cautious, even if there are some old men of Tiance Mansion who follow him, Li Er is still not sealed.

Unexpectedly, in order to let him return to Chang'an this time, Li Er directly wanted to give him the title of Marquis, and suddenly ranked first in the class of people's ministers, and Cheng Yanjin and Lao Qin, who were Li Er's important ministers, were ministers in the same palace!

O Marquis! Overnight, from a cloth cloth to a dignified member of the court, enjoying noble treatment, this is something that countless people dream of!

It's just that Zhao Chen shook his head at Lao Qin!

This is not what he wants, if, before he leaves Chang'an, if Li Er gives him the title of marquis, he may not be able to sleep with excitement, but now it is not what it used to be, and these are not very tempting to him!

"Boy, do you believe in His Majesty's promise?" Lao Qin saw Zhao Chen shaking his head, and a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and suddenly, he asked with some surprise.

At the beginning, when he left Chang'an, His Majesty told him that he wanted Zhao Chen's kid to come back, and when he directly made the marquis, he was taken aback, but now when he saw Zhao Chen shaking his head, Lao Qin's surprised look was even bigger than when he first heard about it.
