There are indeed many separate courtyards on the drawings designed by Li Su, but it is a guest room, and it is not prepared for marrying a concubine, Li Su is really more wronged than Dou E.
"This is a room for guests, if the parents-in-law come to Yizhou, won't these courtyards be useful? What's going on in your little head? Li Su knocked Cui Yingying's head.
"Oops!" The strength in Li Su's hand was not small, Cui Yingying screamed softly and pursed her mouth.
The person responsible for the construction of the palace is Yang Li, and now he has completely become the head of the construction, whether it is the workshop base of the Tang Chamber of Commerce or the construction of Taoyuan, and now it is the new palace, as the saying goes, a long illness becomes a doctor, and the work of this building is more, Yang Li has also become a professional architect, and he has a hand on various construction projects.
Li Su knocked on Cui Yingying, Yang Li only snickered on one side, he held the drawings given to him by Li Su in his hand, which is the design drawing of the design institute, and the general plan on this drawing is marked with the words inland river, garden, mountain stone, martial arts field, study, gym, recreation room, kitchen, etc., in general, the new palace is divided into two parts, the front fifty meters is the office area, including the main hall of the council, and the office area of the housekeeper and the account room on both sides and the barracks of the guards. All changed to palace guards, which also looked more formal, and the first half of this part was equivalent to the property management office in Li Su's understanding, but the scale was larger.
And within the distance of 350 meters behind is the inner courtyard of the palace, which has all kinds of facilities, entertainment, fitness, eating and drinking, the backyard is divided into east and west courtyards, the housekeepers, maidservants, or geisha live in the west courtyard, accounting for an area of fifty times fifty, and the other vast areas are the exclusive range of Li Yu and Cui Yingying, and the rivers and gardens occupy a lot of area within this range. There are even special roads, which can be said to be high-end and high-end.
"When will it be finished?" Yang Li asked when he was secretly having fun.
Yang Li Zhengse said: "It is guaranteed to be completed in June next year." ”
Li Su thought for a while, next June is the time when the weather is hot, and it is appropriate to move over at that time, and said: "That's it, and pay attention to cultivating the professional skills of craftsmen, this construction team is handed over to you." You have to bring it out to the king, and the king will hand over the construction of Yizhou to you in the future. ”
Li Su mentioned this, and Yang Li said excitedly: "Your Highness, rest assured!" Although Yang Li still has the name of a slave and maid, he eats and drinks as much as an ordinary nobleman, so he cherishes this errand very much.
I walked around the construction site again. Li Su calculated what he needed to buy, and there were still some materials in the palace that needed to be purchased from modern times, such as tiles, turf, nails, paint, and later fruit trees and flowers. But there is no need for ornamental trees, the thousand-year-old trees of the Tang Dynasty are everywhere, just dig a few.
Yiqiē was in normal progress, and after the well was dug, Li Su and Cui Yingying returned to the palace together.
After all, the affairs of the palace are only Li Su's personal affairs, and his attention is still focused on the harvest of sweet potatoes and peanuts. And the people of Yizhou were also very envious when they saw the bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and regretted that they didn't believe Li Su's words at the beginning.
When the farm was harvesting, Rongda went to Chang'an again, but this time he was not here to perform magic, but was responsible for giving sweet potatoes to Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Shimin was in the early dynasty, and when he heard that Li Su had sent good things again, he happily said to the ministers: "Su'er is really filial." Every time there is something good, I will never forget me. The words were very proud.
The ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, a purple-robed minister came out and said: "The filial piety of the six princes really moved the ministers. Thinking of the rebel son of the minister, the minister really felt ashamed, the emperor, can you let the minister's second son Li Hui go to Yizhou as a retainer of the six princes and study with the six princes. ”
As soon as this person spoke, the hall was silent, this person was none other than Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, Li Xiaogong was Li Yuan's nephew, and Li Shimin was also half a brother, and he was an authentic Li royal family.
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Why not?" I can send a letter to Su'er, but when I get to Yizhou, Li Hui's power of life and death is in Su'er's hands, aren't you worried? ”
Li Xiaogong said: "Your Majesty, instead of letting the rebellious son of the minister idle all day long, it is better to let him go to Yizhou to see the world, the minister heard that the current Yizhou is changing with each passing day, and new things are emerging in endlessly, he can learn some real skills, and the minister is blind to death." ”
Li Xiaogong felt that his body was not as good as day by day, he had two sons, the eldest son Li Chongyi, the second son Li Hui, the eldest son Li Chongyi was talented and made him very satisfied, but this second son Li Hui made him not worry at all, and Li Su was a nest of snakes and rats back then, and he was once one of Li Su's fox friends and dog friends, but later Li Su went to Xiangzhou, and Li Hui returned to Hejian County, and the two have been separated since then.
Li Xiaogong has made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty all his life, his eyes are extremely keen, he is worried that after his death, this second son will not have a good way out, so after weighing for a period of time, he decided to send Li Hui to Yizhou, first, Li Su and Li Hui are familiar with each other, second, both of them are Li royal family, and what Li Su lacks around is the people of his clan, and the third is a kind of intuition of Li Xiaogong, he always feels that with Li Su's current actions, he will definitely be able to achieve a great cause.
"Well, since you have this thought, I will send a letter to Su'er tomorrow and ask Li Hui to bring it to Yizhou." Li Xiaogong is the founding minister and the royal family, whether it was Li Yuan back then or Li Shimin now, he is very close to him, and this small request will naturally not be refused.
"Emperor Xie!" Li Xiaogong coughed a few times and retreated.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, thinking that Li Xiaogong's health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Thinking of Li Su's gift, he said again: "The time of the early dynasty is over, if you Aiqing have nothing else to do, why don't you take a look at what the six princes have sent with me?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The courtiers answered.
After a while, Rong Da entered the hall with a pot of steaming sweet potatoes, which was explained by Li Su, and asked him to cook some in advance, so that people could taste them at any time, but he waited outside for a while, and the sweet potatoes were not as hot as they had just come out.
Put down the sweet potato, Rongda said: "Cheap slave Rongda, participate in the emperor!" ”
Li Shimin said goodbye, then stood up and walked in front of Rong Da, looked at the red thing in the pot and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Qi Yu Xià, this is called sweet potato, the taste is sweet and very delicious." Rongda is not exaggerating, compared to boiled potatoes, this boiled sweet potato is much more delicious.
Li Shimin bent down and took out a sweet potato from the pot, this sweet potato was still warm, obviously just cooked, he said, "How to eat this?" ”
"As long as the skin is removed, you can eat it directly." Rongda pointed to the skin on the sweet potato.
Li Shimin nodded, tore off the sweet potato skin and just wanted to taste it, when Li Chengqian suddenly said: "Father, the emperor can't, let the eunuchs try it." ”
Li Ke said: "Liulang will still murder his father, the father does not need eunuchs, and the sons will try it for you." After that, Li Ke walked over and picked up the sweet potato in the pot and took a bite without even peeling the skin.
In an instant, Li Ke's eyes widened, the more he chewed, the faster he chewed, he ate one bite and the next, and said in his mouth: "Father, this thing is really delicious." ”
After eating a sweet potato, Li Ke went to touch the next one, Li Shimin shook his head, took a bite and chewed it carefully, his expression was no different from Li Ke's, "Well, as Ke'er said, it's very delicious, Mowgli, Xuanling, the text is all here to taste." ”
Li Shimin said this, and several people picked up the sweet potatoes from the pot and ate them in the same way, and suddenly, the three of them all gave a thumbs up, only to feel that the delicious food they eat on weekdays faded.
There were still some left in the pot, and Li Shimin distributed them to other courtiers and asked them to taste them too, but there were too few sweet potatoes and too many courtiers, and later they had to share a sweet potato among a few people, and those ministers who didn't get it were greedy.
Cui Shao just ate a small piece, still unsatisfied, but he is not worried, such a good thing, Li Su will not be missing him, some ministers know this, and they all stepped forward to joke, asking Cui Shao not to eat alone at that time, and also give some to them, Cui Shao readily agreed.
A pot of sweet potatoes was eaten clean, and everyone was talking about it, Li Shimin asked Rong Da: "This sweet potato must be very rare if it is so delicious." ”
"Your Majesty, this sweet potato is a high-yield thing like potatoes, and it is not unusual for Yizhou to harvest a total of 1.2 million stone of sweet potatoes this year." Rongda answered honestly.
"One million and two thousand stones!"
"The old minister's ears heard it right!"
"Nonsense, this is!"
“……”
The court immediately exploded, and the grain of 1.2 million stone was enough for 200,000 troops to eat for one year and three months, which was such a huge number.
Li Shimin said movingly, "You're not mistaken, it's 1.2 million stones?" ”
"The cheap slave will never dare to lie, this is what His Highness said himself, and this is only the harvest of 40,000 acres of land." Rongda said respectfully.
Li Shimin was even more excited when he heard this, pacing back and forth, and said in his mouth: "God bless my Datang, with Su'er guarding Chengdu Mansion, Datang has no food, now you Aiqing should understand my good intentions, only Su'er can make Chengdu Mansion the land of Datang's heavenly abundance." ”
The courtiers have never seen Li Shimin so happy for so many years, Li Chengqian and Li Tai have gloomy expressions, the name Li Su has become a lingering shadow in their hearts, the eldest grandson Wuji and the officials with the five surnames and Qiwang suddenly feel very powerless, Li Su is too capable of tossing, and every time he tosses, he is slapping them in the face, and this is exactly what Li Su showed them, this is called hard power.
