"Wuji, what kind of person do you say this Li Xiu is, he is obviously a genius, but he doesn't like to be public, he doesn't even care about the court's rewards, and he doesn't have any reaction to my repeated overtures, is he more optimistic about the eldest brother, so he wants to be attached to the eldest brother with an iron heart?" In the Qin Palace, Li Shimin walked around a little anxiously, and he failed to solicit several times, which made him a little impatient.

As the so-called authorities are obsessed, the eldest grandson Wuji, as an outsider, can think more calmly, I saw him sitting there and sipping the tea made by Li Shimin just now, and then he smiled: "Your Highness doesn't have to be angry, in fact, in my opinion, this Li Xiu is really unwilling to be recruited by His Royal Highness......"

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji say the same, Li Shimin's anger rose again in his heart, and he just wanted to say something, but he saw the eldest grandson Wuji wave his hand and interrupted him: "But Your Highness, you don't have to worry, Li Xiu will not be used by His Royal Highness, and he will not be used by the crown prince. ”

When he said this, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji pause for a moment and then said: "For example, some time ago, on the Shangyuan Festival, Chai Juma forced him to the point of ruin with words, but he completely turned the tables with just one poem, and then his fame spread all over the city, countless literati wanted to get to know him, and the powerful people in the court also wanted to invite him to a banquet, and many aristocratic women fell in love with him, but what do you think he did?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin with a light smile when he said this, and at this time Li Shimin also showed a contemplative expression, and only after a while did he speak: "In the face of so many opportunities, Li Xiu took the maid to hide in the third sister's courtyard, giving up all opportunities to make friends with people, if he really has a little fame and fortune, it is impossible to do this anyway!" ”

"His Royal Highness is right, but all talented people, most of them have some strange problems, Li Xiu has no intention of fame and fortune, His Royal Highness naturally can't impress him with fame and fortune, and although he is recommended by the prince, he has not made any moves to get close to the prince, but has been quite close to Her Royal Highness the princess, in my guess, he probably does not want to participate in the battle between His Royal Highness and the prince!" The eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of being Li Shimin's first think tank, and he analyzed Li Xiu's thoughts on just some things.

"If it's really like what you said Wuji, then Li Xiu and his father Li Jing are really alike, and they both plan to stand in the middle and not help each other!" Li Xiu finally calmed down at this time, and after speaking, he also sat next to the eldest grandson Wuji and said.

"It's not exactly the same, although Li Jing and some ministers in the court are neutral, they actually also have their own selfishness, no matter who can ascend the throne in the future, they will fall to the victorious side, but Li Xiu has no intention of fame and fortune, in his eyes, no matter who ascends the throne, it has little to do with him, as the so-called desireless is rigid, it is a person like Li Xiu, and I am ashamed of this!" The eldest grandson Wuji added again, in fact, he couldn't figure it out, why did Li Xiu have such a mentality at such a young age?

Li Shimin also understood what the eldest grandson Wuji meant, and saw that he pondered for a moment and still said a little unwillingly: "But Li Xiu is indeed a rare talent, it would be a pity to let it go!" ”

"Hehe, Your Highness don't be impatient, there are many ways to win over, since it doesn't work directly, it's better to win it indirectly, I just got a message, but I can help His Highness achieve the goal of winning over Li Xiu!" The eldest grandson Wuji showed a smile of victory at this time, Li Shimin had too many things to deal with, and as a strategist, he naturally had to help him share some things.

"What's the news?" Li Shimin was also quite surprised when he heard this, he knew that the eldest grandson Wuji did not believe in the people who opened the river, since he said that there was a way to win over Li Xiu, he must have full certainty.

Seeing Li Shimin's eager appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled smugly, and then leaned over and whispered a few words in Li Shimin's ear, but Li Shimin laughed excitedly after hearing it: "Hahahaha~, it's really good news, God help me!" ”

The New Year is coming to an end, the weather is getting warmer, and the ground is already showing sharp grass sprouts, shining with the brilliance of life in the sunlight. However, in this beautiful spring, Li Xiu was lying on the rocking chair, his eyes were slightly closed and slowly shaking, and the little three curled up in his arms, enjoying Li Xiu's touch, one person and one dog looked extraordinarily leisurely.

"Master, didn't you say that you wanted to make a waterwheel, a few days ago, I saw you running to the princess's courtyard every day, why have you been leisurely in the past two days?" Liu Er asked curiously while helping Li Xiu pinch his shoulders.

"What's strange about this, master, I can only design, and I don't understand those carpenters' work, so I just need to spend some time to let the craftsmen understand the working principle of the waterwheel, and the next thing is their business, not to mention that His Royal Highness the King of Qin also sent a lot of craftsmen to help, all of them are experienced old craftsmen, so I can't help much." Li Xiu enjoyed the kneading of Liu Er's little hands, and moaned comfortably at the moment, this feeling was simply too corrupt.

In fact, it is not to blame Li Xiu for being lazy, he really can't help much, he has explained the design to the craftsmen clearly, and Li Shimin has sent some craftsmen, some of these craftsmen know how to build a mill, and some even have made waterwheels, it is said that these craftsmen were also captured from Nanliang together, and they are considered to be Liu Er and Yuechan's fellow villagers, who used to work as supervisors, and now they are transferred by Li Shimin to Princess Pingyang.

But as soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he suddenly heard a familiar voice outside: "I think you are lazy, the things are designed by you, you don't go to supervise the craftsmen to work, but you bask in the sun here, if you were in the army, I'm afraid you would have been cut down a long time ago!" ”

Hearing this voice, Li Xiu opened his eyes helplessly, only to see Ma Ye standing outside the wall, the wall of his house is only half a person high, a typical anti-gentleman is not a villain, although the people who came to visit him before were very annoying, but I have to say that people are very gentlemanly in this regard, and no one has crossed the wall.

However, Ma Ye is obviously not a gentleman, I saw him jump in directly with one hand against the wall, and I don't know when he developed the habit, and now he doesn't go through the gate when he comes to Li Xiu's house, which also makes Li Xiu more determined to rebuild the yard, otherwise it would be too private.

"Uncle Ma, why are you here?" Although Li Xiu was quite slanderous about Ma Ye, he still stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"You still have the face to say that the princess's legs and feet are inconvenient, but during this time, I also went to inspect the construction progress of the waterwheel every day, and you are good, the person in charge is lazy at home!" Ma Ye said dissatisfiedly to Li Xiu again, and then sat on the rocking chair, but the chair was pulled back, which startled him, but soon he found the fun of this rocking chair, and lay directly on it and slowly shook it.

"It's just a waterwheel, didn't those craftsmen also say, this waterwheel is simpler than the original waterwheel structure, they are confident to build it well, with them, I won't add to the chaos, after all, there is no doubt about employing people, I have to give them free space!" Li Xiu explained seriously, of course, only he knows whether this is true or not.

"You kid has a lot of crooked reasoning, but to say that you are lazy is lazy, today's waterwheel has been built, I'm afraid you still don't know, right?" Lying on the top, Ma Ye's eyelids raised, and he looked at Li Xiu lightly and said.

"Huh? Already built? How can it be so fast? Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, he also went to see the construction of the waterwheel three days ago, although he made a lot of modifications to the structure of the waterwheel, but made great modifications to some parts, so he thought that the craftsman still needed a period of exploration, but he didn't expect it to be built in only three days.

"Do you think those craftsmen are as lazy as you, they are divided into several shifts to work day and night, and finally make a waterwheel today, and now it is being transported to the river, I am here to inform you!" Ma Ye finally sat up at this time, and then glanced at Li Xiu and said.

"Hehe, what are you waiting for, I'm going to see how the waterwheel works?" Li Xiu said that he was about to go out, and he was also very much looking forward to the effect of the waterwheel, if it was feasible, the first to benefit would be him and the tenants of Princess Pingyang's family.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you!" Ma Ye suddenly stopped Li Xiudao at this time.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard this, and stopped and asked.

"Now that the weather is getting warmer, what about our greenhouse?" Ma Ye opened his mouth and said, the income from the greenhouse also frightened him, and now it has become the most profitable industry in the princess's mansion, but after the weather is warm, I am afraid that this business will not be able to do it anymore.

"Haha~, Uncle Ma is distressed about this business, right?" Li Xiu also saw Ma Ye's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help laughing at the moment, he didn't expect that Ma Ye, who has always been bold, would also feel distressed about money.

"Your kid is one person who eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, but our princess is a big family, and there are more places for people to spend money. Ma Ye was broken by Li Xiudao, and he couldn't help but say angrily at the moment, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and the princess's mansion is facing this big problem.

"Okay, don't feel distressed when you're old, I'll think of other ways to make money when I'm free for a while, and then we'll have the same rules!" Li Xiu smiled again, making money is really not too difficult for him.

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he and Ma Ye went out again, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as the two of them went out, they saw a person who they didn't expect anyway.
