……

What is the College of Agriculture?

You can guess a little bit by listening to the name. But what exactly did Li Chengqian think? Su Mi didn't know.

She wanted to know, and was about to ask Li Chengqian, this is Xiao Chen back.

She asked:

"Your Highness, has the prince of the Wang family agreed, when will the contract be signed?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian remembered that the Wang family was playing tricks.

Originally, this kind of slippery head was just not a bird. After all, the other party is stealing his family's money. But after he sent the seeds of dragon fruit, Li Chengqian reconsidered.

This time, I'll give him a favor by the way.

Li Chengqian thought so, then he should tell the queen about this matter and let her agree.

But after Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he kept thinking about dragon fruit.

I forgot to go to the queen and tell it.

Now that he heard Xiao Chen's words, Li Chengqian remembered, so he said a word to Xiao Chen and Su Mi, and ran outside.

When he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, Li Chengqian told the queen about the matter, and of course the queen was not satisfied at the first time.

She is the one who established the rules of sea ships, and Wang Lin came out to break the rules, how could the queen tolerate such a person?

"Queen Mother, I received a seed from him, this time you promise him first, sell him a favor!" Li Chengqian persuaded.

The queen glanced at Li Chengqian, and said angrily: "You have accepted bribes again!" ”

This sentence sounded like an inquiry, but Li Chengqian heard the meaning of blame.

"Ah, you've wronged me!" Li Chengqian shouted injustice. "I didn't take any money, I just put it away when I saw that the seeds were good. And after planting. I am also used to benefit the people, so this favor cannot be said to be a bribe. It's just that he contributed seeds, so he should be rewarded! ”

The queen snorted, listening to Li Chengqian's defense, she didn't believe it. However, as for the seed that Li Chengqian said in his mouth, he has said it several times in a row, and this kind of seed seems to be very important in Li Chengqian's eyes, so important that he doesn't even want thousands of boarding fees and return fees.

"What seed are you talking about?" The queen asked curiously.

Hearing the queen ask this, Li Chengqian said excitedly.

He used all the good words on dragon fruit. When the queen heard this, she didn't believe it anymore.

"Is there really such a thing as you say?"

Li Chengqian's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Have you eaten?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

"......" The queen's gaze changed.

Li Chengqian came to his senses, quickly shook his head, and said: "I'm confused by your question, of course I haven't eaten it, but I know that this kind of thing must be very delicious, so I have to take it out and plant it, plant it and take a look, and you will know if you eat it!" ”

"Thousands of dollars. Is it worth it? The queen asked.

Li Chengqian took out the topaz bowl from his arms, showed it to the queen, and said, "Queen Mother, this is a jade bowl with seeds." This jade bowl also has a few hundred yuan. This can also be resisted. ”

"In addition, the value of this dragon fruit after planting may exceed these thousands of times by tens of thousands of times."

"Besides, the boarding fee and the return fee, his Wang family divided it into two shares. We look like we've lost thousands of pounds. But if we don't agree with Wang Lone, we only agree with the Wang family. So will the Wang family invest 90,000 at a time? I'm afraid that there will be a loss of 10,000 or 20,000. In this way, the ship fare will be reduced by two or three thousand. In this way, our losses are actually not that big. ”

"You've got a good score!" The queen chuckled, and she agreed with Li Chengqian's explanation.

But she emphasized: "This time it's to give him a favor, and I won't allow it in the future." ”

"Well, I understand. With the first sea ship coming back, in terms of profits, everyone will know that if they want to play tricks again, it will be impossible. Li Chengqian said.

The queen was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's words and nodded.

The queen agreed, and Li Chengqian could give Wang Xiao a message.

Next, the two parties can send someone to negotiate and sign the contract.

Li Chengqian's mind now is not on signing the contract, but on the cultivation of dragon fruit.

According to his previous idea, if he wanted to grow dragon fruit, he would establish an agricultural college, which was not something he could just say, but had to be approved by the imperial court. And the quickest way to go through the formalities is on the queen's road.

Li Chengqian's eyes rolled, and his voice said to the queen with a hint of flattery:

"Queen Mother, do you want to eat what kind of delicious dragon fruit this dragon fruit is?"

The Empress asked curiously:

"Do you have fruit?"

After finishing speaking, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

I heard Li Chengqian say it so well just now, if you can eat it now, it will be good.

Li Chengqian said: "I have a way to grow dragon fruit!" ”

The queen couldn't help but be disappointed, it turned out that there was no ready-made fruit.

She asked indifferently, "How?" ”

Li Chengqian replied with high interest: "This kind of dragon fruit should be planted in a hot place, so it will be planted in the south, so I am going to let people take the seeds to these places in Lingnan to plant them." ”

"Then you go and plant it."

"Well, I just have an idea, after the planting is successful, a year to three years, we will be able to eat what can only be eaten in the outside world. Not to mention that we can satisfy the mouth, if this thing is taken out and sold, then ...... Hehehe...... "The strong economic value in this, it goes without saying, the fruit that later generations like to eat, in this Tang Dynasty, which lacks deliciousness, it can be sold for a pound of gold for a dragon fruit."

The queen's eyes couldn't help but light up again when she heard these two meanings.

Seeing that the queen's interest had already been mentioned, Li Chengqian put on a bitter gourd face on his face and said:

"However, if we let my father and the old diehards in the court know that our mother and son have separately assigned people to the place in Lingnan to grow dragon fruit in order to satisfy their own mouths and pockets, I am afraid that they will accuse us!"

But the queen was not worried at all, and said:

"What does it matter to them that we use our own money to plant? You're worried. ”

"Not necessarily, what about the people who plant? It's not just a random person who can be planted with confidence, if the seeds are planted but don't germinate, then don't you feel distressed to death? Li Chengqian spread his hands, "We need to use the talents of the Ministry of Industry." ”

The queen glanced at him and said, "You came to this palace because you have your own plans, let's say it." ”

Li Chengqian smiled and immediately said his idea:

"Queen Mother, look at me, I don't have any other skills, but I care very much about the people of the world, and the people take food as the sky, so I found them three crops of rice, as well as the corn that has just been planted and sprouted, and this dragon fruit. The people take clothes as a table, so I promoted cotton, planted cotton, and after two years, the people around Chang'an could wear cotton clothes and cover cotton quilts in winter! You say, what a good prince I am! ”

As he spoke, he was crooked, and he directly boasted about himself!

The queen stretched out her hand, slapped it, and hit Li Chengqian on the head!

"You don't take Kong Yingda's old man's words to praise you in the morning and move here! Let's get to the point! ”

Li Chengqian rubbed his head, and had no choice but to say:

"Actually, it's like this, just the crops and crops I made, a lot of things. Three-crop rice, corn, cotton, quyuan plow, water windmill...... With so many things, should they be left to their own devices? Or do you want me to take care of them and continue to promote them for the people of the world? But I don't have that much time and energy to take care of here...... Well, actually, I'm lazy too. But whether it's time constraints or I'm lazy, it's just that there is only one sentence, and it's not good to let me take care of it alone, I should be a person who only comes up with ideas, but someone should help me do basic things, help me use it, and help me promote it......"

Li Chengqian stretched out a finger, "Let's just talk about the spy hospital, if I am asked to take care of my idea, can I manage it?" No, I'm just afraid that I'll be lazy, so my father made a wise decision at that time and let Uncle Li Xiaogong take care of it, and now you see that the spy academy is developing in full swing, and several surrounding countries have sent seven or eight batches of graduated spies. I heard that the ninth batch of graduates is about to be sent out. ”

"Besides, the hospital is also my idea, and then handed it over to Maitreya Buddha, Lao Sun and they did it, and after they got on the right track, they handed it over to Lao Sun and Ah Zhen to do, now it's okay, everyone in the palace knows, as long as there is a pain, go to the hospital to have a look. Moreover, a set of medical insurance has also been established in the palace, and the higher the official position, the more medical expenses can be reimbursed. ”

"Let's talk about this business, Xiao Chen ......"

"Okay, okay, you want to say, find someone to help you manage the three crops?" The queen was afraid that Li Chengqian would continue to talk and would finish talking, so she waved her hand and asked.

Li Chengqian nodded, "Yes, I want the imperial court to establish an agricultural college for me, regardless of promoting three-crop rice, cotton, and corn, and also to study how to grow these things better." And look for better seeds in the world, and then push them to the people of the world to plant after planting! And planting is not only carried out in Chang'an, but also to send people to other places in Datang to establish agricultural bases to see which crops are suitable for planting where, and the south is the first choice! ”

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian showed a dirty smile on his lips and said: "At that time, we asked the people at the base in Lingnan to also try to grow a kind of dragon fruit, which was also to serve the people!" ”

"Hehe......" the queen laughed.

She was amused by Li Chengqian's shameless statement.

But it's okay to do something practical for the world and pick up some private goods.

And she also understood at this time, he came to herself to say these things, he wanted to go through his back door and handle the procedures of the Agricultural College smoothly and quickly.
