Chapter 34: Congratulatory Gifts

PS: Thank you for the little foolish baby, Zhi Feng, nky123, happy scrap, Zhuang Zhou Fengshen These book friends in September last monthly ticket support, thank you, I am not afraid of poor book friends to reward again! Otaku thank you!!

For a time, Taiji Palace became a vegetable market, and ministers from the big families said that such crops that could greatly enhance the national strength of the Tang Dynasty would definitely be vigorously supported and promoted, and they all looked at Li Er with eager eyes.

Li Er ignored these guys who saw the good eye, these people were all selfish people who were the number one in the family, if it weren't for the general trend of the whole world, Li Er wanted to send all these people to Yazhou, let them be in the company of the savages there, and see if the learned people taught by these families could educate those barbarians. But as soon as he remembered that half of the Thai officials in the world had an inexplicable relationship with the family represented by the five surnames and Qiwang, Li Er couldn't help but think again.

"Since it's so auspicious, it's easy to plant?" Li Er asked, in fact, he knew very well the conditions needed for the cultivation of this thing, these Li Kuan had said when he handed over the seeds to Li Er, and now he was just telling these things to those who were greedy and shameless through the mouth of the old farmer, so that only a small number of places in the land of Guanzhong were suitable for planting, and most of the areas were not suitable, and these places were also the main areas where these families were entrenched.

"This kind of crop needs a lot of water, and it is very cumbersome when planting, the grass people have planted most of their lives, and they actually know that the original crops are to germinate the seeds first, and then transplant after raising seedlings, which is enough for the grass people to grow two acres of wheat." The old farmer complained. In his heart, the eldest did not want to plant this rice, because although the land rented by his family was close to the river and convenient for water, the water would wash away the seedlings or flood all the seedlings. It takes a long time for the water to be small, and this time is inseparable from people, otherwise one will have to replant the seedlings if they are not careful. This kind of rice in one crop requires much more labor than growing wheat.

"Need a lot of water? None of our families are close to a large water source, so it's hard to do! Cui Xiang thought about it in his heart after hearing about this condition, and thought for a long time that except for a few small families, the rest of the big families did not have convenient water conservancy conditions, and maybe he could build some canals, but this was not something he could decide alone. I'll have to go back and talk about it!

Many of the ministers who jumped out hesitated, and they also thought of this, if this was to be allowed by Li Er now. It may come at a great price, but if the rice spreads naturally in the future, it will be obtained without much effort, but only a few years later. So they all started to retreat backwards. Reluctance to stand outside anymore lest it be considered an up-and-coming bird.

Li Er said no more. The old peasant was politely invited to the side hall for dinner, and then other topics began.

Time flies, and most of the days of Li Er's accession to the throne have quietly slipped away, and the time is already at night, these days because the new emperor ascended the throne, so Jin Wu can't help but be three days, so although it has been night for a long time, countless stars in the sky are blinking. But Chang'an City is still very lively.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole world celebrated. In order to show this festive atmosphere. Chang'an Mansion Yin can be said to be painstaking, quietly discharged the errands, spread the news everywhere, these days there will be a grand celebration at night, and there are free white flour steamed buns, although it is only secretly circulated, but it has mobilized the hearts of countless Chang'an people, many people have not eaten white flour steamed buns for a long time, they are all white noodles mixed with wild vegetables, made into a nest, and even many people can't afford to eat white noodles and are still eating the millet full of drills. This free white-flour steamed bun makes them more interested than the new emperor's accession to the throne. Therefore, the people of Chang'an have given up the habit of being at home at sunset in the past few days and nights, and most of them have run out and wandered around the streets of Chang'an City.

When there are more people, then those clever vendors appear, pushing small wheelbarrows or carrying cargo boxes, and walking through the streets and alleys to sell. Chang'an City suddenly became alive, in the past only the sound of drums could be heard, but now the contrast is very huge.

The rumors of Chang'an Mansion Yin's gossip are boiling, and he really distributed white-flour steamed buns, but a limited number of them are distributed every day, and the location is not fixed, so that his promise has been fulfilled, but the real price paid is indeed very small, and it is only a matter of more than a dozen bags of flour.

The crowd outside the palace is endless, the palace is also full of lights, countless red lanterns will decorate the imperial garden beautifully, the misty red candlelight, shining on the flowers not far away, it is the autumn double yang season, the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are very brilliant, the faint fragrance of flowers is blown in the wind with the night breeze, which makes people feel intoxicated, Li Kuan stayed in the shadows, looking at the crowd coming and going, compared with a few brothers in the crowd, he seemed very quiet. This environment was too noisy, he didn't like it very much, and even he liked the uniform roar of the soldiers, compared to the secret deliberations of these so-called princes and ministers, the whispers of the noble ladies and wives, and the roars of those upright men, Li Kuan felt that it was more real.

This is the celebration banquet of Li Er's accession to the throne, all the ministers above the fifth rank have come, even if it is a lowly yamen like the Jiaofang Division, the chief officials from the five grades are all in the crowd and those princes and princes laughing and talking, at this time there is no difference in identity, or the lower wants to tie up the above, and the above also needs the lower to help themselves, or they need to make friends with some people, in order to cope with the political turmoil that may occur next.

"These people are so boring!" Li Kuan shook his head, patted the little gray ash that had been lying at his feet, and motioned for it to follow, and he was leaving.

Little Gray shook his head and followed Li Kuan towards the Hall of Talents, where the two of them were home.

Li Kuan didn't just leave like this, but would take some things from the Hall of Talents, you must know that there are other things for him to participate in next, Li Er's accession to the throne is such a major event, they must be congratulated as children, then the congratulatory gift has become a hurdle to compare with each other, who is good and who is bad, in the eyes of these ministers, it has become a proof that the prince is favored and which prince is alienated by the saint, if these people want to stand in line, they will not miss this opportunity to observe.

Although Li Kuan didn't want to fight with these little boys. But I don't want to be looked down upon, and if I don't think I'm doing anything, I will even secretly despise myself, or I will disobey some orders I will give in the future. So this time, I still have to show Xiàn, so that people don't look down on it.

Returning to the Hall of Talents, he asked the maid to help him tidy up his appearance, and took out the box under his bed, and put it under his armpit and walked towards the imperial garden at one time, and the little gray gray wanted to follow, but was kicked aside by Li Kuan. Teach it: "You can't go now, stay at home obediently, you know?" ”

Little Gray Gray is very human. Although it has only been a few months since it was picked up by Li Kuan, it can understand some of what Li Kuan said, and it can still carry out some simple orders, just like now after listening to Li Kuan's words. Just whined twice. ran towards his nest in a gloomy manner, and then squatted inside, watching Li Kuan leave.

Returning to the Imperial Garden again, there were more people here, everyone was climbing and complimenting each other, with a smile on their faces that they didn't know whether it was sincere or hypocritical, it was no different from those drinking parties in the future. It's just that people have changed.

Li Kuan still stayed in the corner, with the box in his arms. This thing is his hard work for several months, although he knows that most of Li Er's study already has another pair of things that are more delicate than his own, but he still has to take it out and show it, otherwise Li Er may not know how useful these two simple little things are.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived!" The sharp voice of a eunuch came, Li Er and the eldest grandson came, accompanied by a group of concubines, Yingying Yanyan is not lively, Li Er's harem is not small, although he has just ascended the throne, but there are already more than a dozen women before, and now it is rumored that he is going to start the draft girl into the palace, this is simply the rhythm of being a stallion, Li Kuan glanced at Li Er's waist and abdomen with some concern, hoping that there are still a lot of various 'whips' in the warehouse of the inner mansion, otherwise it will be empty sooner or later.

Although he slandered his cheap father in his heart, the etiquette was still necessary, everyone stopped talking, consciously stood in several lines, and bowed down: "See the emperor, the queen!" ”

"All the ministers are flat!" Li Er waved his sleeves and said majestically, he likes this feeling very much, he has the authority of the world in his hands, and the beautiful women around him!

"Emperor Xie!" The ministers stood up straight.

"Today is the day of great joy when I ascend the throne, you are my right-hand men, I hope that in the years to come, you can share my worries and help me govern the world in an orderly manner, here I will give you a cup!" Li Er took a pour of wine, although this glass of wine was tried by I don't know which one, but as the emperor, he was ready to eat saliva. It's not disgusting to drink it all directly, the ministers saw that the emperor gave face like this, who dared to disobey, and also took a big drink from the wine glass, and half of the people on the spot were flushed, this wine is really strong. This is what they think at the moment, Jiuxianju's special high-sorghum roast is not comparable to any wine like Sanle pulp now. Therefore, most of these Wenchen, who are officials with clean sleeves, have never drunk it, and they were directly overturned at this moment, Li Kuan wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he didn't dare, so he could only endure it.

Li Kuan can bear it, it doesn't mean that the two little loli behind the eldest grandson can bear it, the two of them saw that the ministers' faces were red and white, and they exclaimed on the spot: "Sister, look, that old man's face is white and red and sweating, is he sick?" The little guy pointed at Xiao Yu and said, her voice just sounded when everyone drank this glass of wine and put down the glass, at this time, the small amount of wine was uncomfortable, and the drunk or large amount of wine was reminiscent, and this sound suddenly came out far away.

"This is the old man who drank too much, stinky wine, Wei'er should not drink in the future, otherwise it will be the same as that old man!" It's okay that Li Lizhi didn't explain, this explanation, it seems that all the ministers and many concubines on the scene have been said, this is simply a super large map cannon, killing the whole screen in seconds.

"Well, the wine is so unpleasant, bitter, Wei'er doesn't drink it!" The little guy nodded his head seriously, agreeing with his sister's words.

This conversation made Comrade Xiao who was standing in the crowd blush, but because of the rising strength of the wine, he had not been seen by the people around him, and this episode made Li Er's preparation of three cups of Lian Jing stillborn, and the banquet began directly.
