This is not the end, as soon as he finished reading the emperor's honor guard, Li Han saw that five hundred meters away, another team appeared, without a flag, and it looked very low-key, but the high-headed horses that showed their status and status, as well as the richly decorated carriages, were enough to show that they were either nobles or ministers, otherwise even if they were rich and rival the country, they would not dare to be so ostentatious.

Ji Fan, as the head of the Li family, hurried to greet the Queen Mother and the emperor and his wife with Fang Yue, while Li Han stood far away with a sad face, looking at the visitors who had come after him, just like who owed him 800 copper coins.

Liu Qi greeted Ji Fanfang Yue very modestly, and when he saw Li Han's strange appearance, he smiled secretly in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Li Han, why don't you come to say hello to the Queen Mother?" ”

"Uh-uh...... The child is worried...... Imperial grandmother, it's been hard all the way. ”

"Hahaha, you're worried about how to settle so many people, right? I don't care about this, since we are here, we are all guests, you can do it. ”

"But uncle, who is that group of people in the back? You can leave the child alone, right? ”

Fang Yue hurriedly said: "Han'er, don't mess around, that's the noble ministers, although my manor is small, there is always a place for the ministers to rest, why do you play tricks with the emperor." ”

Liu Qi said: "Duke Fang, because of the murder of Bacheng, I know that I have wronged you, and I have sent people to send an edict to you to restore your official status several times afterwards, why don't you refuse?" ”

Fang Yue said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, my son-in-law needs to be personally responsible for the management of new grains, I think that this matter is also a major matter related to the people's livelihood of the court, and it is not necessary to stand in the court to serve the country, so I have failed the emperor's edict, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Your son-in-law is also my son-in-law, this kid has too many strange methods, so that we are all turned around by his command, since you think that the opposition and the court are both serving the country." Then I won't force you, let's hurry up and see what new grain our son-in-law can get and produce 5,000 catties per mu. ”

The Queen Mother had already pulled Li Han into the carriage, and it turned out that Wang Wan and Guantao were also in the carriage, and of course, there was also the little princess Liu Lian, who had never married.

Li Han saw the old people one by one, and smiled at Liu Lian and said, "Princess, why don't you go to my carriage, there are a lot of little girls there, you can have fun together." ”

Liu Lian knew that he was about to get married, so he was a little embarrassed to stay in the same carriage with Li Han. As soon as she heard this, she jumped out of the car, Li Han sent her to the car of the Ji sisters, and after a while, the laughter of the girls came from inside.

Li Han returned and asked the Queen Mother: "Imperial grandmother, should we go home to rest first, or go directly to the field to see the harvest?" If you are tired, you can go home first, and I will go to the fields with my aunt and uncle. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "I haven't seen the harvest crops for decades, and I went out of the palace today just to see it." How can you go to stay in the house, go, or go to the ground. ”

It's simple, cross the Baqiao. Both sides of the river are all the land of the Li family, and the new types of grain are planted, and the queen mother and the emperor can stop and watch at any time.

"Imperial Grandmother, stop here. This is the cornfield, you can look at it when you get old. Li Han exclaimed sweetly.

The car stopped, and the Queen Mother slowly got out of the car. In the fields by the roadside, a large group of farmers wearing short blue shirts without sleeves, pants of the same color, trouser legs, and a dark belt around their waists were waving a kind of scimitar with a wooden handle and a six-inch length at the top, cutting a tall crop, and some peasant women with turbans were breaking tassels of about a foot from the cut crops.

The Queen Mother was so excited to see it, thinking that such a large ear of grain was really unprecedented, and trembled and shouted: "Han'er, this is corn?" Bring me one. ”

Li Han hurriedly took a corn cob over, tore open the outer skin, revealing the golden ears of corn inside, the Queen Mother held it in her hand, stroked the plump corn kernels, and said in surprise: "Can you eat such a big grain seed?" ”

Li Wan was carrying a bamboo basket and had been standing for a long time, and when she heard the Queen Mother ask, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Can you eat it, the Queen Mother, the corn grits porridge that Han'er brought to you into the palace a while ago was dried and broken and boiled by this corn kernel, and I also brought some cooked tender corn for everyone to taste." ”

Everyone gathered around curiously, watching Li Wan lift the snow-white linen covered with the basket, revealing a basket of cooked corn, hot and fragrant, Guantao couldn't wait to grab two, stuffed one to his mother, and took a bite himself, and immediately shouted incense.

The Queen Mother took two bites and said with admiration: "This thing is naturally sweet and refreshing, it is indeed a good thing, it seems that Han'er has indeed brought blessings to my Han!" ”

Liu Qi was not in front of the car at the moment, he had already taken Li Han down to the field, carefully watched how the farmers and peasant women cut the corn and how they broke off the ears, and soon discovered the mystery and asked: "Han'er, what is this kind of corn cutting tool called?" I haven't seen it before. ”

"It's called a sickle, and it was made by a blacksmith according to the characteristics of the crop."

"This fine iron looks very fine, and the farming tools are so sharp and durable, where did you get them?"

"Hehe, ordinary bronze embryos, the child taught the blacksmith a method to purify into fine iron, and then it can be so sharp, if you want to use it for weapon building, I have a better way to make it sharper."

Liu Qi glanced at Li Han in surprise, and finally decided that it was better not to exhaustively investigate this child's secret at the moment, or focus on the crops, so he asked, "Can this corn really have a yield of 1,000 catties per mu?" ”

"Absolutely, I guess it's more."

"How much grain do you have now, but I can spread it to the whole country?"

Li Han saw that the emperor's face was shocked, and he wanted to popularize it excitedly, so he hurried over and said: "Uncle, can you just order all places to start planting, it will cause chaos, you listen to me, let's do this...... Only then can they be willing to plant, sell the grain and grow the money, and the children will be transported to the border to open a leather armor and wool factory, and by next year, how about using the profits to equip you with weapons for 10,000 elite soldiers? ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "It seems that you have already thought of a ghost idea to trap them, right?" How can you be sure that I will cooperate with you? ”

Li Han said with a smile: "Hehe, the big landlords are all holding on to the regressive temper, they are suspicious of them, and they feel that they have taken advantage of them by slaughtering them, anyway, the money they got is used in the court, and our lords have not swallowed the flowers and wine, no matter what, don't be pedantic, father." ”

Liu Qi has long been accustomed to Li Han's messy names for him, calling him uncle according to Guan Tao's call, calling him emperor according to his courtiers, and calling him father emperor according to his father-in-law's call, all the same anyway.

Liu Qi didn't know that Li Han's title seemed arbitrary, but in fact, it was carefully calculated, when and what could trigger Liu Qi's high sense of identity, these Li Han were all clear, and at this moment, Liu Qi and him were completely classified into the unified interest front with a "father".

Sure enough, Liu Qi laughed and said: "My father is not old and not pedantic, so I will partner with you, what do you say?" Well, put them along. Hahaha! ”

Weng and his son-in-law laughed like two foxes, one big and one small, and at this moment, the horse team of the ministers also arrived, since it was the queen mother who went out of the city, the noble ministers also consciously brought their families.

A large wave of warblers and swallows suddenly poured out of the carriage, no, it was all kinds of old women and middle-aged women wearing colorful clothes, after all, they were all original wives, where are there any beautiful women with national colors and fragrances, and they came over to say hello to the queen mother, and then they praised the size of this new grain is really big, Li Wan had to let the family send several baskets of boiled corn to satisfy the appetite of these ladies.

Those noble ministers were also unreserved, and after coming to say hello to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and others, they grabbed the boiled corn and gnawed it on their own, and came to Liu Qi and Li Han to comment on the corn field.

Liu Qi listened to his son-in-law's idea and fully cooperated, but he just smiled and said nothing in the face of the gossip of the ministers, everyone couldn't figure out the emperor's mentality, and they didn't dare to come up with ideas to promote planting as soon as possible.

"Lord Hairpin, where did your master get this grain seed from?"

Li Han saw that someone couldn't bear to ask, so he said with a smile: "My master once traveled all over the world, and this grain was grown from the Western Regions. ”

"Since this thing is delicious and high-yielding, why don't you contribute to the imperial court to plant it in the realm of the Han Dynasty?"

Li Han made a very wary expression and said: "This is not good, this is my family planted and eaten fresh things, not the traditional varieties planted in the Han Dynasty, today to let the imperial grandmother and the emperor and queen come, as a piece of filial piety for the younger generation, this has nothing to do with the major affairs of the court." ”

Liu She Wenyan said: "Lord Hairpin is wrong, you were originally the royal son-in-law, and you are the young prince of the imperial court, with good grain seeds, you should let the imperial court come forward to benefit the world, how can you only plant it?" ”

Li Han said sloppily: "Hehe, Liu Yushi, let's go and see other crops, don't stare at the cornfield." ”

The Queen Mother's car had already started, and when she walked to the peanut field in front, she saw clusters of peanuts dug up in the beach, and the steamed peanuts prepared by the Li family were delivered at the same time.

After eating it, the Queen Mother said happily: "The fried peanuts and rice that Han'er sent to the palace last time were crispy and delicious, but I didn't expect it to be so soft and fragrant when steamed and eaten, this thing is really good." ”

Wang Wan is very happy today, her son-in-law has received such high attention from everyone, how can she not be overjoyed, and said with a smile while peeling peanuts for the Queen Mother: "Yes, this kid is also going to open a food processing factory, and when the time comes, let him send you more delicious food into the palace." ”

Guan Tao is very depressed today, in the face of Li Han's success, she regretted breaking her intestines, secretly hating that she shouldn't have connived at Chen Chan, and made a good mother-son relationship. (To be continued......)
