Chapter 328: Hound Dog
The heroic Ganyun that Yuangai Suwen said seems to be very confident, in fact, he is indeed very confident in his heart, because Li Yong is investing in him, in order to do business in Goguryeo, after he rises to power, he can also protect Li Yong's business firm, which can bring benefits to Li Yong, what reason does Li Yong have not to support him? Seeing Yuangai Suwen's confident appearance, Gao Zheng was excited in his heart, and said with his fists clenched.
"Su Wen, Gao Mou will thank you on behalf of the king and the people!"
Gao Zheng was very excited, his face was sincere, but Yuan Gai Suwen was very unhappy in his heart, what do you mean by representing the king? What do you mean by you representing the people? Who allowed you to represent the king? Who has allowed you to represent the people? Do you represent? Yuangai Suwen complained like this in his heart, but he smiled and said.
"Master Gao's words are serious, I dare not be ashamed, this is what I should do, for the king, for the people of Goguryeo, I will go all out!"
After a lively day, Li Yong returned to Lijiazhuang, originally thought that it could be clean and clean, but Lijiazhuang turned out to be very lively, just like the festival, although the people of Chang'an have basically heard of corn, but most of them have never seen corn, today Li Er sent a long team carrying corn around the city, so that everyone can see the true face of corn, so the people of Chang'an are excited, planting corn in Lijiazhuang, this is actually a bait of Li Yong, the purpose is to catch those big fish hidden, But seeing Li Jiazhuang like this, he asked suspiciously.
"What are you excited about?"
"Master Hou, today is a big day of corn harvest, corn has become a grand scene in Chang'an, and the whole Chang'an is amazed!"
The farmers in the village couldn't close their mouths with a smile, their faces were full of pride, listening to the praise of Chang'an, which person in Lijiazhuang was not proud? Originally, they were poor farms, but since Li Yong bought this place, they began to live a good life that no one else dared to imagine.
"They haven't seen corn before, and they were shocked when they saw it for the first time, and it's not like you haven't seen it, so what's the coaxing!"
Li Yong said speechlessly, indeed, corn is not a secret in Lijiazhuang, and Li Yong does not plan to hide it from them, otherwise he would not have planted it here.
"Master Hou, such a big ear of rice, even if you see it a hundred times, you will be shocked when you see it a thousand times!"
"Okay, next year, I will pile up corn on your kang head, so that you can see you every day and sleep in your arms every day."
Li Yong said with a smile, for farmers who only live for food and clothing, this is the biggest joy, and Li Yong also made a joke.
"Thank you, thank you, Hou Ye, there is really corn, that little designation can please a mother-in-law."
"What kind of mother-in-law are you begging, it's the same with corn."
The whole Chang'an is very lively, only the Sifang Pavilion seems to be a little calm, although during the day the envoys of various countries are smiling one by one, but when they go back to their residence alone, their faces can drip water, of course, not all the envoys' atmosphere is very calm, like the envoys of the Wa Kingdom are very excited, Datang has such a bumper grain is great, Datang has not equal to their Wa State? With such abundant grain crops, the people of their Japanese kingdom did not have to starve, what a feat! In fact, since Li Yong and Princess Changle round house, he and Gao Zheng must talk about the topic every day is when it is appropriate to go to Lijiazhuang again, for this reason, the two discuss every day, but there is never a result of the discussion, go early, disturb the newlywed life of people's affection, go late seems insincere, and they urgently need to get acquainted with Li Yong, lest Li Yong round house, Forget the familiar relationship before, after all, it was because they cared too much, so they hesitated, and they couldn't discuss it every day, but the moment they saw the corn, they couldn't wait, they couldn't wait at all, in fact, they didn't go, because Li Yong was not in Lijiazhuang at all, but in Xishan Courtyard, Lijiazhuang was just one of Li Yong's strongholds, Li Yong came to Lijiazhuang today, knowing that someone would definitely look for him, so he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited for the big fish to take the bait.
"Yuangai Suwen is here? Let him in! ”
Li Yong said lightly, Li Yong didn't expect that the first big fish was Yuangai Suwen, and the fish was hooked, so it would be good to carry it out as planned.
"Huatinghou, congratulations!"
Yuangai Suwen arched his hand and smiled.
"Thank you so much, thank you for your ginseng and deer antler velvet or something, good thing!"
Li Yong said with a smile you know.
"Huating Hou is too polite, if Huating Hou still needs it, just say it with you."
Yuangai Suwen also replied with a smile that I understood.
"Let's go, let's drink!"
After Li Yong listened to the big wave of his hand, Yuangai Suwen came to visit, and it was very simple to entertain him, just take him to visit the Qinglou, and let the envoys of Goguryeo know that Yuangai Suwen and the Marquis of Huating of the Tang Dynasty had a close relationship, and drink? No, Yuangai Suwen really doesn't want to go, it's not that he doesn't want to, he doesn't dare much, because Li Yong and Princess Changle haven't been in the round house for a long time, is it appropriate to go to the Qinglou? Even if Li Yong is not afraid, he is afraid of Su Wen, if it arouses the anger of the emperor, Li Yong is not afraid of the fire, and he is also afraid of Su Wen! Maybe the Tang Emperor thought that he was pushing Li Yong to go to the Qinglou, could he, a deputy envoy of Goguryeo, bear the anger of the Tang Emperor? Don't look at Gao Zheng who attaches so much importance to him now, he is thanking him and valuing him, saying that he will be rewarded by the king when he returns to Goguryeo, in fact, Yuan Gai Suwen understands in his heart that if he really arouses the anger of the Tang Emperor, whether it is Gao Zheng or the king or even the entire Goguryeo court, he will not hesitate to abandon him, because the entire Goguryeo from the king to the courtiers has been softened in the bones, and the courage has been frightened.
"No, no, no, the Marquis of Huating has just had a great joy with Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can he go to visit the Qinglou? Spreading it will damage the reputation of Huating Hou! ”
Yuangai Suwen said in a loud voice.
Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's okay, who in Chang'an City doesn't know that I'm a merry genius? Don't say it, it's true. ”
Yuangai Suwen hurriedly said.
"Originally, I shouldn't have come to disturb the sweet life of Huatinghou and Her Royal Highness the Princess, but today I came to visit Huatinghou, in fact, I have something serious to plead with Huatinghou!"
Serious business? Implore? Seeing that the fish had been hooked, Li Yong asked with a slight smile.
"Oh? Serious business? What's the matter? Tell me about it! ”
"Yesterday, Gao Zhengzhi and I saw corn on the street, who would have thought that the ears of corn would be so big and so high-yielding, this is simply a treasure given by God to all the people in the world!"
Yuangai Suwen said with emotion.
Li Yong smiled faintly.
"You said corn, it is indeed a high-yield grain species, and corn can appear in Datang, it is really God bless Datang."
"There are a lot of people in this world are in the midst of hunger and cold, I don't know how many people die of hunger and cold every year, grandpa may not know, Goguryeo is located in a bitter cold land, our people in Goguryeo are bitter, the winter is bitterly cold, the land is barren, and there is not much production, so when Gao Zheng and I saw corn, my heart was really excited, if we Goguryeo also planted corn, then there would not be so many innocent people who died in vain, what a great merit this is!"
After listening to it, Yuangai Suwen said in a low voice, Li Yong thought to himself, it is really for corn, it seems that the fish with corn is used correctly, no one can resist such a high-yield grain, especially in this era of the ancients, Li Yong remained silent, just listened quietly, and had a faint smile on his face. At this time, Yuangai Suwen's face was full of compassion, and Li Yong smiled.
"Corn is indeed a good grain seed, if you have corn in Goguryeo, the grain production will also increase greatly, the question is where do you plan to get corn?"
Yuangai Suwen arched his hand and said.
"In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Huatinghou can get corn, so I was about to ask Huatinghou for help, and I asked Huatinghou to help me."
Help you grow corn in Goguryeo? Isn't that an enemy? Li Yong shook his head and said with a smile.
"You overestimate me too much, the saint is interested in corn treasures, it is rumored that I picked a few corn a while ago, and was chased by the saint with a musket in the palace, do you know?"
Of course Yuan Gai Suwen had heard of this rumor, and the people of the entire Chang'an talked about it, and even looked excited, and said that they were spitting, as if they had seen that scene with their own eyes, Yuan Gai Suwen didn't believe it at all after hearing it, how could there be such an emperor? How can there be such a courtier? If the emperor was really angry, he directly ordered the courtiers to be arrested and imprisoned, how could he go after the courtiers in person? What he didn't know was that the two principalities of Cheng Biting Jin Wei and Chi Gong had also chased Li Yong and Chang'an around, and I don't know how many people had seen it with their own eyes, so the people of Chang'an were not surprised by what Li Yong did, as long as they said it, everyone would believe it when they heard it.
"Hua Tinghou, this is just a rumor, as long as there is a little sense, who will believe it?"
Yuangai Suwen said with a smile, his face was full of disbelief, but Li Yong smiled.
"The rumors are indeed exaggerated, but when I entered the palace that day, the sage knew that I had gone to pick corn, and he immediately went to get a musket, thanks to being firmly held by the crown prince and the king of Wei."
Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, something similar really happened, the emperor really wanted to get a musket, on the one hand, Yuan Gai Suwen was surprised by the emperor's attention to corn, on the other hand, he was attracted by this story, Li Yong provoked the emperor to be angry because of picking corn, and even wanted to beat Li Yong with a musket, so how did Li Yong get through the crisis?
"Hua Tinghou, what about later?"
Yuangai Suwen asked, Li Yong shrugged his shoulders slightly and smiled.
"Later, of course, the corn is so fragrant!"
Is corn so fragrant? Yuangai Suwen was completely stunned, and then he reacted, he also saw it on the street that day, there was no end to a load of corn, I heard that corn was only planted for more than a hundred acres, how could the emperor really be angry with Li Yong because of a few corns? If the emperor was really angry, he should have sent Li Yong directly to prison, how could he go to get the musket? The more Yuan Gai Suwen tasted it, the more he felt that the emperor's move was like seeing his child make a mistake and wanted to scare and teach him a lesson, instead of reporting to the official, after tasting it, he was even more emotionally touched by Li Yong's holy family, since Li Yong dared to pick corn in the first place? Naturally, he is sure that he will be fine, and now the whole Chang'an is grateful for Li Yong's kindness, is it difficult for Li Yong to get some corn seeds? Yuangai Suwen said with a smile.
"The holy family of Huatinghou is really emotional, His Majesty the Emperor is just playing with Huatinghou, more than a hundred acres of corn, Huatinghou wants to get some corn seeds, isn't it a gesture?"
Li Yong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and complained in his heart, if I didn't want to take the corn you fish, the corn seeds are mine, what is Li Er's, Li Yong shook his head expressionlessly and said.
"I don't want to ask for that boring, if you Goguryeo envoys are really interested in corn, you might as well go into the palace and ask the sage, maybe the sage will reward you with some corn seeds for the sake of the Goguryeo king's respectful sake!"
If he was sure to ask for corn seeds from the emperor, then Gao Zheng would not have encouraged him to come to Li Yong, it is useless to play the sad card, Yuan Gai Suwen said in a low voice.
"Huatinghou, if I can get corn seeds, then I will definitely be rewarded when I return to Goguryeo, and the government and the opposition will praise me, and I will definitely rise to the top, which is also a good thing for Huatinghou, as Huatinghou, I will definitely be able to get corn seeds, isn't it?"
It turned out that Yuangai Suwen was the idea, and it was true that Yuangai Suwen was given corn seeds, and Yuangai Suwen would definitely be able to rise to the top in Goguryeo, but this would also increase Goguryeo's national strength and bring great prestige to Yuangai Suwen, but this was not what Li Yong wanted to see, after all, he was not really doing business in Goguryeo.
"Even if you don't have corn seeds, I still have a way to make you rise to the top in Goguryeo."
Li Yong said with a smile, but Yuan Gai Suwen was unmoved, but still said firmly.
"However, corn seeds are indeed the fastest and most effective method, and please help me with Hua Tinghou!"
Li Yongye shook his head very firmly and said.
"Now corn is the treasure of the saint's heart, and I am also very embarrassed, so let's talk about it in a few years."
Yuangai Su Wenxing rushed over, thinking that he would get Li Yong's promise, but he didn't expect Li Yong to flatly refuse, which made him very disappointed, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Isn't Hua Tinghou going to help me? Since Hwasinghou wants me to help Houtinghou do business in Goguryeo, Houtinghou should also show some sincerity, right? ”
Li Yong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Brother Wen is threatening me?"
Yuangai Suwen replied with a fist clenched.
"Don't dare."
Although he didn't dare to say it, but there was a hint of unruliness in Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes, Li Yong couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile.
"Brother Wen, do you know? I had a dog a while ago, a very good hunting dog, I like this hunting dog very much, feed it bones every day, but then this hunting dog actually jumped on the table to eat meat, which made me very angry, although I am not bad for this bit of meat, but dogs can't eat meat on the table, this is the rule, so I reprimanded it fiercely, guess what? This hound actually bared his teeth at me, Brother Wen, what would you do if you had a hound like this? ”
At the beginning, when I heard Li Yong suddenly talk about raising dogs, Yuan Gai Suwen was still a little inexplicable, talking about corn well, why did he suddenly talk about dogs as soon as his painting style changed? But listening to it, his face changed, what does Li Yong mean by this? This is clearly saying that he is a dog, and he is a self-proclaimed hero, but he is called a dog? Li Yong dared to insult him like this, he had never suffered such humiliation in his life, for a while, Yuan Gai Suwen's blood surged, his heart was full of anger, he really wanted to cut off Li Yong's dog head with a knife, Yuan Gai Suwen did not reply, because he was already angry and speechless, Li Yong continued to laugh to himself.
"Of course, such a dog can no longer be kept, so it should be killed and eaten meat, after all, the most important thing in this world is a dog, it doesn't matter if you kill this dog, as long as you have meat and bones, you can also raise other dogs, and other dogs will scramble to wagging their tails when they smell meat. Brother Wen, what do you say? ”
Compared to Li Yong's smiling appearance, Yuangai Suwen's face was pale, his eyes were full of anger, Yuangai Suwen was carrying a double knife on his back, his hands and two hands were tightly clenched into fists, as if he would reach out and draw a knife at any time, Li Yong still looked indifferent, as if he didn't see the anger in Yuangai Suwen's eyes, and didn't see the double knives on his back.
