Chapter 15: Wu Zhaoyi

Out of Zhuangzi, Li Xiao once again got into the forest in the back mountain.

It was very humid and cold in the pine forest, and the wind was rustling through the treetops.

It's cold, cold hands.

Li Xiao made several trips back and forth before he took all the nine loads of willow baskets into the forest. Although Da Biao and the others were still curious that Li Xiao was going to come to this forest to get cucumbers, Li Xiao didn't let them come, and they finally stayed outside.

I rubbed my hands and took a few breaths, and my hands felt a little. After looking left and right a few times to confirm that no one was following, Li Xiao said silently, and the next moment he had already entered the space.

The space is very warm, and it seems that all of a sudden it has come from the northern country of ice and snow to the south of the river in late spring. What catches the eye is the lush cucumber vines, spreading on the melon racks, and the yellow flowers blooming among the green leaves.

The spring is still so clear and transparent, and there is even a small fish jumping up in the sparkling waves, crossing a graceful arc in the air, and then gracefully falling back into the spring.

There was no sunlight, but it was bright and warm, and it was still surrounded by a white mist.

Squatting by the spring, he stretched out his hand and held a pool of spring water, the water was warm, and he drank it to his mouth, but he was as willing as a li.

Li Xiao showed an expression of enjoyment, it was really good water, much better than the mineral water that was all kinds of overwhelming advertisements in later generations.

He felt that if he took the water and sold it, it was estimated that someone would ask for it.

Reach out and pick a fresh cucumber from the side, wash it by the spring, wipe it a few times, put it in your mouth and eat, pure green pollution-free and natural organic.

Looking at the melon seedlings, the first stubble has just begun to be harvested, and at least a dozen stubbles can be harvested, which is his first pot of gold.

If this time he can succeed, then the nobles and dignitaries of Chang'an will be able to eat the cucumbers of the Li family.

Perhaps, this cucumber will be sacrificed to the palace, and even the emperor can eat it. If the emperor is happy to eat, Long Yan is happy, ask the following, this cucumber is so rare, who planted it. The people below replied that this kind of jasper green was planted by Li Xiao of Lanqiao, maybe the emperor laughed, and then casually ordered to reward it.

The emperor's reward, even if you reward a little, you can get a little rich, if you are generous enough to reward an official and a half position or something, then at least twenty years less struggle and development.

It's kind of interesting to think about.

Li Xiao couldn't help but chuckle by the spring when he thought of the funny part, and the laughter seemed to disturb the fish in the spring, and it flicked its tail a few times in dissatisfaction, stirring up a few ripples, and twisted away.

After laughing, Li Xiao got up to pick cucumbers, wanting to make the emperor Longyan happy with a single cucumber, and even ordered the officials to reward money, which was still a little too whimsical.

The current emperor Li Zhi is not the kind of ignorant and mediocre king, even if he is, the eldest grandson of the uncle Wuji will definitely not tolerate it.

Li Zhi later got himself the title of emperor, otherwise there would be no later queen Wu clan.

As for the eldest grandson Wuji, he is even more awesome, and he is now powerful.

Today, the leader of the Guanlong aristocratic and wealthy families in the court, to put it mildly, the emperor actually has to rely on the snort of this uncle to live.

However, Li Xiao remembered that the eldest grandson Wuji and his patriarchal faction actually didn't have to be proud for long. It seems that he has only been in power for ten years, and then Li Zhi finally pressed forward step by step, driving all the degraded and degraded killings of the patriarchs out of the court. Later, the Wu clan even cut the grass and did not forget to eradicate the roots, and pursued and killed the Guanlong nobles, and almost completely lost the Guanlong gate valve.

I wrote this down in my heart, and now these people are on top, but maybe this information will be useful to me.

After all, it is only the fourth year of Li Zhi's reign, but he already knows the end of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Wu Zetian should be Zhaoyi at this time, although he is favored by Emperor Li Zhi in the palace, there are also Xiao Shufei and Queen Wang with higher status, one of these two is the Lanling Xiao family and the other is the Taiyuan Wang family, and their background and status are not comparable to the ordinary Wu Zetian.

After all, although Wu Zetian's father was also the Duke of Guogong, his father was just a businessman in the Sui Dynasty.

If you can get to know Wu Zetian now and invest in your feelings, that is the real thigh. It can be said that this resource can be used until death, after all, in the next forty or fifty years, it will be the era of the Wu clan.

"I know that in a few years, the eldest grandson Wuji will be exiled and killed, I know that the Wu clan will defeat Concubine Xiao Shufei and Empress Wang, and I even know that the Wu clan will become a generation of empresses in the future. However, who knows who I am now Li Xiao? ”

"Forget it, I'll pick the cucumbers first, and selling these cucumbers for money to buy grain is the king."

Li Xiao let go of those heart-warming ideas and turned into a hard-working little bee, constantly walking between the rows of cucumber racks, picking fresh cucumbers one by one, and carefully stacking them in the willow basket.

When you are thirsty, you will hold a handful of spiritual spring water.

When you are hungry, eat a tender cucumber.

I don't know how long it took to dry, but I finally picked nearly a thousand cucumbers and filled them with willow baskets one after another.

Wiping a handful of sweat and looking at these cucumbers, Li Xiao smiled very satisfied.

Sending a basket of cucumbers out of the space, Li Xiao walked out of the pine forest.

Outside, Da Biao, Zhang Cong and a few other people were still standing there waiting, and no one was curious to break into the pine forest.

"San Lang, are people here?"

Da Biao saw him come out and hurriedly asked.

"Well, people have come early, and things have been delivered, a whole thousand cucumbers, a hundred more than I said before. It's all in the basket, let's go pick out the cucumbers. ”

"So fast? We've only been standing here for a while, and it's not time for tea. ”

"Hmm." Li Xiao also knows that time in space seems to pass very slowly, but crops grow faster. He didn't dwell on why, "Go and move." ”

Da Biao took everyone into the forest, and when he saw the basket of fresh cucumbers in the forest, he was still surprised to close his mouth, but he looked left and right, but he didn't see anyone.

Things were very strange, but Li Xiao's mysterious mind refused to say anything, so they didn't ask much.

"Okay, don't look around, one person and one load of cucumbers, pick it up, take advantage of the freshness, you have to sell it quickly." Da Biao glared, but he couldn't help but be curious about Zhang Cong, Liu Garlic and the others.

When ten loads of cucumbers were picked down the mountain and arrived at the gate of the village, they attracted bursts of exclamations.

Li Xiao's plan made everyone look forward to it, but they were worried that such a good thing would not come true. Now that a basket of fresh cucumbers has been picked at the door, everyone finally believes in Li Xiao's plan.

With the support of his daughter, Mr. Zhao carefully inspected the basket after basket, looked at the basket of tender cucumbers, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

"A basket of fifty, a total of twenty baskets, a thousand baskets." Li Xiao said beside him.

Mr. Zhao stroked his beard, "Even if one piece is sold for two cents, it can be exchanged for 20,000 yuan." If one is sold for five or ten yuan, wouldn't it be able to exchange it for fifty or even one hundred yuan? ”

Zhao Wan nodded beside her.

Mr. Zhao said happily, "Now you don't have to worry about starvation!" ”
