Chapter 320: Good Stuff
In fact, Li Yong hoped that Wang Jiu'er would accept the 220,000 yuan, but unfortunately, she didn't, Li Yong replied with some regret.
"The twenty-two white stacked flowers were planted by the eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family, she accidentally got a bag of seeds, sprinkled them in the yard, and grew twenty-two white stacked flowers, she felt that the bag of seeds was not worth anything, so she resolutely did not charge money."
Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
"I've heard of her, she's a good girl!"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"She also told me that there was a place full of white stacked flowers!"
Li Er listened to a pair of big eyes and suddenly widened, after he felt the warmth of the white stacked flowers, on the one hand, he felt surprised and excited, on the other hand, he felt regretful, Li Yong only had twenty-seven white stacked flowers in his hands, and he didn't know how many years it would take for the white stacked flowers to spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, at least ten or eight years, how many people would be frozen to death in these ten years and eight years? If there were no white stacked flowers, then Li Er wouldn't think so, but now that he has white stacked flowers, how can he still watch his people being frozen to death? So when he heard that Li Yong knew where the white stacked flowers were abundant, he was immediately excited. Just like the rice of Lin Yiguo, the cultivated grain has been a great success this year, the whole hundred thousand acres of land harvested two crops of rice a year, next year can be promoted to the entire south, next year the entire Datang rice output can be doubled, and corn, want to expand to the entire north It will take several years, this is still Li Yong planted a hundred acres of corn at the beginning, if Li Yong only has dozens of corn at the beginning, then corn does not know what year and month can be promoted to the entire north, In fact, Li Yong just took a little bit to plant here, in fact, there is a large breeding base in Huating County, Li Yong took a little to plant some in Huangjia Village in order to prevent accidents, and now the white stacked flowers are facing this problem, but if you know the origin of the white stacked flowers, it will be much easier to do, just like Zhenguan rice, it will spread in a few years, Li Er asked in a loud voice.
"Where? Where are white stacked flowers? ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Gao Changguo!"
Li Er couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Gao Changguo?"
Li Yong nodded and replied.
"Well, Gao Changguo, originally the minister wanted to form a caravan to go to Gao Changguo to buy the seeds of the white stacked flowers, but the minister didn't have a caravan, let alone the experience of going to the Western Regions, so he didn't have a clue for a while."
In fact, Li Yong has a caravan, but considering the complexity of the Western Regions, he said to Li Er like this, the purpose is to let the imperial court come forward to solve it, and he can't do everything, Li Er waved his hand and said.
"The Western Regions are very chaotic, if you send someone to the Western Regions with your wealth, it is likely that you will be sent to death, so you don't need to worry about this."
Li Yong saw that the goal was achieved, so he said with a smile.
"It seems that our Datang's influence in the Western Regions is still not enough!"
Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but glance at Li Yong when she heard this, and then smiled.
"The saint took off this jacket first, and look at your hot sweat."
Li Er wiped his sweat and said with a smile.
"I'm a little reluctant to take it off, baby, this white stacked flower is really a baby!"
While saying that, Li Er took off his padded jacket, his upper body was soaked, and he was sweating profusely.
"It's all hot like this, why don't you take it off quickly, and ask the saint to bathe and change clothes?"
Empress Changsun said with concern, but Li Er turned a deaf ear and paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, and suddenly, Li Er stopped and said in a deep voice.
"Spread Li Jing, eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Hou Jun gather to meet quickly!"
Huang Yan's father-in-law hurriedly bowed down and arranged for the little eunuch to go to deliver the decree, and the eldest grandson queen said angrily.
"The saint should go and change his clothes, otherwise what if he catches a cold?"
Looking at the anger of Empress Changsun, Li Er couldn't resist it, and surrendered.
"Okay, let's go shower and change clothes."
Seeing Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun go together, Li Yong couldn't help but be stunned, and left him here by himself without saying a word? Li Yong was speechless, what should I do now? The most important thing is that Li is still carrying a padded jacket in the second-hand, can you put the padded jacket down first? At this time, Wang De's father-in-law, who was going to take over Huang Yan's class, moved a stool very cleverly and said with a smile.
"Hua Tinghou, why don't you sit down and wait for a while?"
Li Yong was not polite, thanked him and sat down on the stool, but he always felt that there was something missing.
"Why don't I pour you a cup of tea?"
Father-in-law Wang De asked respectfully.
"Then it's going to be a trouble for the princess."
Li Yong was not polite at all, Wang De's father-in-law hurriedly went to make tea, Li Yong took the tea, suddenly felt a little hungry, and asked with a smile.
"Do you have any new dim sum from the Imperial Dining Room?"
Do you even want a snack? Huatinghou, you're really not polite at all! Who comes to the Ganlu Hall is not respectful, and they are trembling when they drink a cup of tea, you are good, just open your mouth to eat snacks, of course, there are snacks in the Ganlu Hall at all times, but that is for the emperor, can you give it to Li Yong? Wang De's father-in-law said with a smile.
"Master Hou, please wait a while, the slave will go and get it."
Li Yong sat in the Ganlu Hall drinking tea and eating snacks leisurely, but Li Er's bathing and changing time seemed to be a bit long, and not long after, there was a sound outside the hall.
"What? The saint went to bathe and change clothes? Didn't the saints summon us? The saint has gathered all of us here, and it is obvious that there is something very important. ”
Li Yong used to see that everyone knew that it was Cheng Biting Jin's voice, he didn't shout on purpose, but his voice was so loud, not only Cheng Biting Jin was puzzled, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and others were very puzzled, the emperor suddenly summoned all the people, obviously there was something important, why did the emperor go to bathe and change clothes instead? At this time, the good old man Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.
"Do you know why you summoned me?"
The little eunuch hurriedly replied.
"The slave didn't know that the Marquis of Huating came to meet the saint, and then the saint issued an order to summon the grandfathers."
Li Yong came to meet the saint? What happened to that kid? How did the saint summon everyone? Moreover, why did the emperor go to bathe? Cheng Yanjin looked in front of the main hall with his head probed, and then saw Li Yong sitting there with Erlang's legs crossed, holding tea in one hand and eating snacks in the other.
"Hey, you kid."
Cheng Yanjin shouted, Xu Shiji and the others also came to the front of the main hall, and they all laughed immediately.
"Hey, you kid is so leisurely here!"
Seeing Li Yong in the main hall, everyone didn't wait outside, but walked into the main hall with a smile, and the little eunuchs didn't stop them.
"Didn't the saints summon us? How do you go to the shower and change clothes? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji looked around and asked.
"The saint was sweating profusely, so he went to change his clothes and bathe."
Li Yong explained plainly, and everyone understood after listening to it, it turned out that this was the case.
"Why did the saint suddenly summon us in a hurry, what happened? What's going on with you kid? ”
Wei Chigong asked curiously. Saying this, everyone's attention was on Li Yong. It seems that nothing major has happened in Chang'an or even the entire Tang Dynasty these days, what is it worth the emperor to gather so many people at once? What has Li Yong been doing lately? Round house, what else is there to establish a state-owned enterprise, and then a heavy reward for white stacked flowers, there is nothing else.
"Why did the saint summon us?"
Li Ji asked curiously.
"To be honest, I don't really know, I don't quite understand what's going on."
Li Yong pretended to be stupid and shook his head and said, he was talking to Li Er about how to go to Gaochangguo to buy cotton seeds, but he didn't expect Li Er to call these old goods directly, what? Is it so difficult to go to Gaochangguo to buy seeds? Why do you need so many people to brainstorm ideas? I think you're just trying to grab it.
"You don't know? Haven't you been here all the time? ”
Cheng Yanjin asked very speechlessly, and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled without smiling.
"You have a heavy reward for white stacked flowers, have you received the reward? The old man didn't find out where there were white stacked flowers. ”
Li Jing was the last to arrive, after all, he had already sent a scholar, but Li Er would call him for any major event, and he would be called a consultant.
"White stacked flowers are really hard to find."
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Actually, I've already found twenty-two more white stacked flowers!"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and found twenty-two white stacked flowers? After being stunned, they couldn't help but gasp, 220,000? That's a lot of money!
"Twenty-two trees is not 220,000? Why did you really buy them all? ”
Cheng Yanjin exclaimed, Wei Zheng's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he said in a deep voice.
"Nonsense! The white stacked flowers are actually not rare at all, the old man just found out today, there are many, many white stacked flowers in the Gaochang Kingdom of the Western Regions, which are not precious strange flowers and plants at all, and you still spend 220,000 yuan, you, this nonsense! ”
Cheng Yanjin was immediately anxious when he heard this.
"Li Yong, you have been trapped! Who received 220,000 yuan from you? Let's go find them, his grandmother's, he ate the bear's heart leopard gall him! ”
Li Xiaogong also shouted.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand, this is a black heart!"
Li Yong hurriedly said.
"I want to give 220,000 yuan to others, but they insist on not accepting it, I owe a lot of favor, and Lord Wei also knows that Gaochang has white stacked flowers?"
Wei Zheng nodded and said.
"The old man also received a letter from an old friend today, and only then did he know that Gao Changguo has a lot of white stacked flowers, which are very common, and they are not rare at all, Li Yong, what is the use of you offering a heavy reward for this white stacked flowers?"
Li Yong was just about to answer, Li Er had already strode out of the apse, I don't know if it was because of the bath just now, but he looked radiant.
"See the saints!"
Everyone immediately stopped talking, and respectfully saluted in unison, Li Er said with a smile.
"You're all here, I'm very happy today, see it, Li Yong sent such a jacket to you!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the emperor's hand, and the emperor was carrying a jacket, and it was a coarse cloth jacket? The emperor is still so happy? The emperor won't say the opposite, right?
"Li Yong, this kid is really, why did he offer the saint a jacket made of coarse cloth?"
Cheng bit the gold and hated that iron is not steel, Li Er excitedly and very preciously showed the padded jacket in his hand, and said loudly.
"This is a baby, a treasure for the benefit of the world!"
Everyone was stunned, confused, just this coarse cloth clothes are a treasure for the benefit of the world? Du Ruhui asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are dull, how can this coarse cloth garment benefit the people of the world?"
Li Er explained with a smile.
"Li Yong offered a heavy reward for white stacked flowers, a certain knew that white stacked flowers must have a big secret, sure enough, Li Yong gave a big surprise, white stacked flowers are treasures that can benefit the common people in the world!"
Is the white stacked flower a treasure for the benefit of the world? Wei Zheng and the others are all upright, for the benefit of the world, this can't be said casually, corn is for the benefit of the world, Zhenguan rice is for the benefit of the world, only those who can bring great benefits to the people of the world can be regarded as for the benefit of the world, but Li Yong's reputation is here, Wei Zheng asked excitedly.
"Sage, how can the white stacked flowers benefit the people of the world?"
Li Er explained with a smile.
"This white stacked flower is very soft, and very warm, according to Li Yong, this white stacked flower is very easy to plant, you can plant it in any wasteland, if it can spread, the people of my Datang will no longer have to be afraid of the cold winter!"
Warm? Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, no one thought that the secret of the white stacked flowers turned out to be to keep warm.
"Come on, this coarse cloth is sewn into the white stacked flowers, you can feel it, not only is it very soft, but the warmth effect is no less than that of the fur."
No wonder Li Yongjin offered a coarse cloth dress, it turned out that white stacked flowers were stuffed inside, so that everyone could feel the warmth of white stacked flowers, Cheng Yanjin stepped forward to take the coarse cloth jacket, and put it on his body at once, and the others surrounded him and touched it.
"Hey, it's really soft!"
"yes, this must be comfortable to wear!"
"Lao Cheng, how's it going?"
"It's warm, it's so warm, I'm sweating, this thing is really not as good as a fur coat, it's a good thing!"
"Quick, take it off and let's try it."
Cheng Biting Jin just took off the padded jacket, and then was snatched away with a swish, everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the black and thin Wei Zheng, everyone didn't expect that Wei Zheng actually snatched the padded jacket from the hands of their generals, just Wei Zheng carefully touched it, and found that the padded jacket was really very soft, and it was very dense, so he was more serious, he knew the people's feelings, he naturally knew what the cold winter meant for the people, difficult! Ordinary people can only sew reeds in the quilt and clothes to keep out the cold, just touch it, he feels it, the white stacked flowers are much softer and denser than the reeds, and the emperor and Cheng Biting Jin have tried, which means that the effect of white stacked flowers to keep warm may be really good, so he can't wait to try it, only wore it for a short while, Wei Zheng felt it, the warm effect of the jacket sewn with white stacked flowers is really not under the fur, Wei Zheng was shocked, after the shock was excited, too excited, No wonder the emperor said that this was a move to benefit the common people in the world.
"Really, really warm, and so soft, it's much, much stronger than a reed!"
The corners of Wei Zheng's excited mouth trembled a little.
Although Du Ruhui and the others haven't tried it yet, it is undoubtedly certain at this time, even Wei Zheng said so, so is it still false? Li Er said with a smile.
"At that time, I wore it for a while, I sweated profusely, the white stacked flowers are really warm, and the most important thing is that the white stacked flowers can be planted everywhere, if the white stacked flowers spread, the people in the world will no longer have to be afraid of the cold winter."
Cheng Yanjin nodded and said
"What the sage said is that when the ministers fought with the sage, they still remembered the severe cold of the winter, and if they had a jacket made of white stacked flowers, the soldiers on the border would no longer have to suffer from the severe cold."
