Chapter 12: It Was Him

"What's your idea?" Ma Ye didn't want to pay attention to Li Xiu anymore, but he didn't expect him to propose to talk about business with him again, for the sake of these delicacies in front of him, Ma Ye glanced at him and said.

"Uncle Ma, you can't look down on bean sprouts, but you can always look at the green vegetables!" Li Xiu gritted his teeth and said again, originally he thought of two new inventions, one is to grow vegetables in greenhouses, and the other is to distill liquor, but winemaking consumes too much food, especially high-grade wine, and now the people of the Tang Dynasty can't even eat enough, and the imperial court has issued a ban on alcohol several times, so after thinking about it, Li Xiu decided to give up the idea of distilling liquor for the time being.

"Green cabbage? What kind of greens, don't you tell me that you can grow greens in the winter, right? Ma Ye was also stunned again when he heard this, Li Xiu gave him too many surprises today, but he still couldn't believe that he could grow green vegetables in winter.

"That's right, it's to grow green vegetables in winter, and it's not like Xishan to use hot springs to grow vegetables, as long as you use my method, you can grow green vegetables anytime and anywhere!" Li Xiu said very confidently that the greenhouse was the first way he thought of making money after coming to Datang, and now it can be used as a bargaining chip for trading with Ma Ye.

"Really? Don't fool me just because you've read a few more books! Although Ma Ye is shrewd, he is also a little unsure of Li Xiu's authenticity at this time, and even some doubts that Li Xiu is stupid in reading, and he believes it when he sees some gods and gods in the book?

"Of course it's true, since I can make beans sprout in such cold weather, it's not surprising to grow green vegetables!" Li Xiu is full of confidence.

In his previous life, Li Xiu once felt inferior because he was born in the countryside, which was also one of the main motivations for him to work hard and strive to climb up in the future, but now he is very grateful for the experience he had in the countryside in his previous life, such as the greenhouse, although he didn't make it himself, but he knew the principle, and he had also seen others make greenhouses, so he had absolute confidence to get the greenhouses out.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, and looking at his confident appearance, Ma Ye couldn't help but dispel the doubts in his heart, and then saw him think for a moment and suddenly asked: "Boy, if you can really grow green vegetables in winter, can you raise flowers and plants in winter?" ”

"Huh? Flowers? Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Ma Ye's question, and at the same time muttered to himself in his heart, "Could it be that the spiritual realm of the Tang nobles has reached this level, and they would rather not eat green vegetables themselves, but also appreciate flowers and plants in winter?" ”

"Boy, what's the point, is it okay?" Uncle Ma saw that Li Xiu didn't answer, so he asked again.

"Yes, yes, but what do you want to do, Uncle Ma, is it really just raising flowers and plants?" Li Xiu asked with some uncertainty at this time, looking at the appearance of the horse master in front of him, he really didn't look like an elegant character who likes flowers and plants, and raising a Tibetan mastiff was very in line with his character.

"Of course, it is really to raise flowers and plants, the princess likes to raise some flowers and plants since she was a child, every autumn and winter, when these flowers and plants wither, the princess will be depressed, if you can let the flowers and plants survive in winter, she must be very happy!" When Ma Ye mentioned Princess Pingyang, Yingwu's face showed a look of respect, which made Li Xiu even more curious about Princess Pingyang, and he wanted to see the demeanor of this strange woman with his own eyes.

Of course, there is no problem with planting flowers and plants in the greenhouse, Li Xiu also guaranteed on the spot, which made Ma Ye finally smile with satisfaction, and then Li Xiu raised some specific questions such as cooperation and sharing, although Ma Ye is shrewd, but after all, he is a military general, and he is not very good at doing business, and this is precisely Li Xiu's strength, so almost all of them are Li Xiu talking next, and Ma Ye nodded in agreement when he thought it was appropriate.

In the end, the two sides reached a specific matter of cooperation, Li Xiu took the technology of the greenhouse into shares, and the princess's mansion paid for it, and the two sides each accounted for half of the shares. So I could only pretend not to understand, and I agreed in a daze.

"Master Ma, the matter of cooperation is here for the time being, but my tenants are still lying on the bed, do you see if it's ......" Li Xiu suddenly changed the topic, he didn't forget the main purpose of his coming here, only by avenging his tenants can there be a basis for cooperation, otherwise everything just talked about is empty.

Ma Ye also understood Li Xiu's thoughts, and at the moment he saw him smile, and said without looking back: "Old Seven, go and find out which one is not open-eyed, and dares to look at the business of red bean sprouts!" ”

"Whoa!" As soon as Ma Ye's words fell, suddenly a very abrupt voice sounded, and a thin middle-aged man appeared not far from the side of Li Xiu and Ma Ye, and then the middle-aged man immediately turned around and left, and took out a horse in the bamboo forest in the distance, beat the horse and galloped towards Chang'an City.

"Huh? Where was this person hiding, why didn't I notice it at all? Li Xiu was stunned and looked at the background of the middle-aged man leaving, and after a while, he was shocked and said, the hundred meters around them were very empty, and there was no place to hide at all, but the other party appeared very suddenly, which made Li Xiu also very puzzled.

"Hehe, don't look for it, if even you can find out where Lao Qi is hiding, then he is not qualified to follow me!" Seeing Li Xiudong's appearance, Ma Ye patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, now he feels more and more that Li Xiu, a young man, is very interesting, and the princess's mansion also needs such talents, but unfortunately he is Li Jing's son, otherwise he can be recruited into the princess's mansion to do things.

In less than an hour, Lao Qi, who had just left, galloped over on his horse, and then turned over and dismounted and reported to Ma Yeyu: "Ma Ye, those people are the house slaves of General Youwuwei and Wang Junkuo of Peng Guogong!" ”

"It turned out to be him!" Li Xiu next to him heard Wang Junkuo's name, and immediately showed a disdainful expression, among the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Junkuo is indeed a brave general, but unfortunately this person has a bad character, he remembers that later in the Xuanwumen Change, Wang Junkuo was in Youzhou to assist Li Yuan's nephew, in order to show loyalty to Li Shimin, he actually bewitched Li Yuan's nephew to rebel, and then he personally killed the other party to invite Li Shimin to take credit, it is said that the other party is still his son and daughter's family, so we can know Wang Junkuo's character.

"Huh? Boy, what kind of expression do you have, as if you look down on Wang Junkuo? Ma Ye noticed the change in the expression on Li Xiu's face, and asked with interest at the moment.

"Uncle Ma, how is your relationship with Wang Junkuo?" Li Xiu didn't answer Ma Ye's words immediately, but asked a seemingly unrelated question with a smile.

"It's not good, when Wang Shichong was attacked, Lao Tzu's subordinates also had a conflict with his subordinates, although in the end the two sides made peace under the mediation of King Qin, but there was no contact in private." Ma Ye said with a bleak expression, in fact, he looked down on Wang Junkuo very much, this robber-born guy has been a pest in the township since he was a child, and even killed his own aunt, and after raising the army, he was also capricious, just like a fierce hungry wolf, Ma Ye has always disdained to associate with this kind of person.

"Haha, then I'll rest assured, Wang Junkuo is brave and strong, but he is extremely insidious and vicious, and he will definitely die under the sword and axe in the future!" Li Xiu suddenly laughed and said, in fact, Wang Junkuo did not end well, as soon as Li Shimin ascended the throne, Wang Junkuo was ready to defect from the Tang Dynasty, but was killed by the people in the countryside.

"You stinky boy is really slippery, if I say that I have a good relationship with Wang Junkuo, will you praise the other party for his bravery, and he will definitely be a supreme minister in the future?" Ma Ye finally understood what Li Xiu meant at this time, and he couldn't help laughing and scolding at the moment, the more he looked at Li Xiu, the more pleasing he felt, because the other party's shameless appearance was very much like his demeanor back then.

"Of course not, Uncle Ma, you are a good person, the person who robbed me of my business must be a bad person, how can a good person have a good relationship with a bad person?" Li Xiu is serious nonsense, and this kind of crooked reasoning can only fool children.

Ma Ye laughed and scolded again when he heard this, but soon showed a solemn expression and said: "Li Xiu, although Wang Junkuo has a poor character, but he is a rare brave general, when pacifying Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin and others, Wang Junkuo also made many military exploits, and even His Majesty praised him, such a person is not easy to mess with!" ”

"Yicheng, the younger generation is willing to give up another Yicheng profit, and I just ask Ma Ye to help my tenants get justice!" Li Xiu said without hesitation at this time, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, then don't blame me for being unscrupulous.

"One percent of the profit!" Ma Ye was also shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Xiu again in shock and said, "Boy, do you know how much Yicheng's profit is?" A few tenants have been injured, and it will be fine to raise them for a few days, so I will help you say hello, and no one will definitely provoke your business in the future, wouldn't it be better? ”

"Thank you Uncle Ma for your kindness, but there are some things in this world that can be endured, and some can't, so please Uncle Ma do it!" Li Xiu opened his mouth at this time, since Boss Liu pushed the flour made up by a few families to give it to him that day, he had already regarded these tenants as relatives, not to mention that those beaters didn't even let go of a few teenage children, he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what!
