Chapter 7 Fortune deceived the king? A journey of a thousand miles
"Since it's a 'good omen', then don't say it, I don't believe in this kind of thing!" Emperor Qian said indifferently.
"Well, auspicious signs, sort of." Li Susi said.
"Okay, the so-called 'auspicious rui' is just created by some mediocre monarchs in history in order to pursue higher achievements, does the sixth brother want to put my father in the position of the faint monarch? This is disrespectful to Your Majesty! Li Yan got up and shouted.
He has never been willing to see his sixth brother, because he feels that his sixth brother has a great contradiction with the Daqian Dynasty.
Whenever he saw Li Su, Nie Yan always felt that Li Su was like a high-minded existence, looking at him condescendingly, and Nie Yan was one of the people who Li Su was looking at him condescendingly.
This made Li Yan very uncomfortable, so he didn't like Li Su.
This time Li Su defeated the ghost target, Li Yan was also a little surprised in his heart, but for Li Su, the hatred in his heart was even worse, this hatred could not be described in words, without any reason.
Now, seeing that His Majesty Emperor Qiandi was a little angry, Li Yan would certainly not let go of his sixth brother.
However, Li Su didn't seem to see the expressions of the eldest prince and the others, and he didn't pay attention to the eldest prince and continued.
"Three years ago, I went to Lingnan, but on the day of the rampant dragon, I found these three plants in a destroyed mountain, and after I planted them, I felt that these three plants could not only fill my stomach, but also be delicious, so I brought these three plants back to Lingnan."
Wow~~
"It's a new kind of food!" As soon as the people below heard that it was new food, it suddenly dawned on them that they were not using a fawn to stick a fawn into a fawn and trying to pretend.
"I think so too, King An will not do such a thing." The other man said.
"But it is very rude to give the emperor the newly harvested crops."
"Really? New food? Bring it and let me see. Emperor Qian said indifferently.
It's not a strange thing that new crops are found, in fact, many crops are edible, but they can't be the main food, so they don't have much publicity significance.
Not long after, a little father-in-law, holding one wooden plate after another, came to Emperor Qian.
Li Su explained to him one by one: "This is a kind of corn kernel, the yield of one mu can reach more than 1,000 kilograms, and it does not pay attention to the soil, it can be grown in the mountains, and it can be stored for many years after drying. “
"!
Li Su's words made everyone stunned, including him, everyone was stunned, today's wheat can only produce more than 200 kilograms of grain per mu, if there is not enough fertile soil, the harvest will only be less.
If you can reach 1,000 kilograms, not to mention whether you can be in the mountains, even if it is on fertile soil, it will be a good income.
When Emperor Qiandi was told by Li Su, he immediately became interested, he opened a tortilla and ate it in a big gulp.
Not to mention that the taste of this thing is really good, this alone is enough to fill the stomach.
"Good! If what the emperor said is true or false, we can use it as food! Emperor Qian said excitedly.
Since Emperor Qiandi has tasted it himself, it proves that this is genuine.
"If I can cultivate my own land, it will be several times higher than ordinary wheat, and even if the price of food falls, I can earn several times more!"
The corn seed sent by Li Su alone was already the best gift that Emperor Qiandi had ever seen in his life.
After all, as the de facto ruler of the Daqian Dynasty, as long as he can keep his people fed and clothed, he can sit in a stable position, and nothing else is the most important.
"Father, look at what this is, this is a plant called potato, its roots can grow soil, an acre of land can grow more than 3,000 kilograms, it can be planted twice a year, it can be cooked, it can be made into starch, it can also be made into vegetables."
"Wow!".."
This is a shocking thing, an acre of land can produce 3,000 kilograms, how amazing is this? Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, and the crops of one acre and three points of land had grown to such a point.
A lifetime of realization.
Emperor Qian hurriedly picked up a piece of roasted potato, put it in his mouth and ate it slowly, slowly.
It smells good, it smells good.
Then take out a piece of fried potato chips from the plate next to you and put it in your mouth to give it a special flavor.
This thing tastes no worse than corn, and if it can be spread to the whole country, then do you still have to worry about starvation? This is what Emperor Qian's heart thinks.
"Good! It's also our main food! Emperor Qian said.
"Father, look at it again, this kind of thing called sweet potato, like potatoes, grows from the ground, and one acre of land can produce more than 5,000 kilograms of things."
As soon as Li Su said this, everyone was stunned and unbelievable.
5000 kg! In other words, can a sweet potato top more than 20 sweet potatoes and rice?
If it can be popularized in China, then the output of the entire large dry grain crop will inevitably increase by dozens of times.
At that point, the people of the Daqian Empire will not have to worry about starvation, even if there are any natural or man-made disasters, they will not have to worry about the lack of food, and they must be transferred from the state.
When they get to that place, if there is any big trouble, even if it is the grain and grass of the neighboring provinces, those refugees can be fed and drunk.
As for the Emperor and the ministers in the imperial court, they considered it even more, as long as there was a continuous supply of grain and grass, they could go on expeditions, shelter refugees, raise a large number of livestock, and improve the strength of the country, all of which could be done.
Emperor Qiandi put the fragrant sweet potato on the table, and stared at the three sweet potato seeds with a precious look, as if he was staring at a rare treasure.
"Good! Good! That's great! Hehehehe Emperor Qian stood up and shouted.
"Congratulations to the Emperor!"
"With such a vision, my great luck will last for a thousand years!"
The people below clasped their fists in congratulations.
"Great Qianguowei!"
No one will question whether Li Su is lying, because no one is stupid enough to try it and determine whether it is true or false.
Even if the number of them is increased to half, it will be truly auspicious.
Everyone set their eyes on this culprit who brought all this to the entire Daqian.
"King An really impressed the emperor." Li Su made a target to curry favor, and everyone was currying favor with him.
Less than a month after he returned to Beijing, he did such a shocking thing.
From beginning to end, Li Su didn't give Li Yan a look, as if he was a transparent person.
At this time, the eyes of the important ministers of the Daqian Dynasty fell on Li Su's face, and Li Yan was even more angry.
"I am Emperor Daqian, I am my father's son, Li Su was born to just a concubine, what qualifications do I have!" Li Yan clenched his fists and roared angrily in his heart.
The banquet will continue as usual.
The three good seeds offered by Li Sujin are a good thing for the whole country, a good thing for the whole country, and a good thing for everyone, everyone has their own good land, if such a good seed can be planted, then everyone's net worth will rise, and they are naturally full of interest.
They are all talking to Li Su, hoping to have a good relationship with him.
You know, if they want to grow this kind of high-yield crop earlier than others, they must get some grain from Li Su.
Li Suxian gave it to anyone who would take him to the next level, and his family, and the position of the entire continent, would change dramatically.
As Wang Chong said, Li Su didn't care about a few polite words with these people, anyway, Li Su's future actions in the capital would depend on these people.
The two love each other and complement each other, which makes him hate Li Su even more, and he drinks and has fun alone on the side.
No one would have thought that after the banquet, Emperor Qian suddenly thought of the earth dragon more than three years ago
He passed on Li Su's will, reprimanded him for ignorance of current affairs, was punished by heaven, and secretly asked people to destroy this edict that had not yet had time to be transmitted, so as not to become the laughing stock of everyone.
After a few days, there were rumors everywhere in the capital, saying that the sixth prince of Emperor Qian, the king of Da Qian'an, was going to hold a "Lingnan Specialty Expo" in the capital to entertain the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and the extremely rich and rich. And what can attract people's attention the most is a very direct sentence:
"Are you curious, why is King An so rich? Please come to the exhibition! ”
Of course, this also aroused everyone's interest, because the people who came from Lingnan these days are really rich.
Being so popular with His Majesty King An, all the people who received the invitation felt that their faces were bright, and the trade fair in Lingnan Kingdom was a good time for them to get close to His Majesty King An.
In addition, the empress will also be in attendance, so those who can't get an invitation are walking around, hoping to get one.
It didn't take long for the day of the show to arrive.
Li Su booked a place in the largest inn in the capital, "Qing'an Pavilion", in this inn, a high platform was set up, and below it were rows of seats, and the dignitaries were standing in front, while those merchants were standing in the back.
As for the rooms on the second floor, they were specially prepared for the high-rise of the imperial capital, in order to give the guests a feeling of being on top.
And the businessmen who did not enter the Qing'an Building also gathered here, waiting to get the latest information as quickly as possible.
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people with vicious eyes, especially in the business field, this kind of exhibition must contain great business opportunities, and any businessman with a vicious vision will not let go.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to invite you to the first Lingnan Specialty Sales Conference in Beijing, and I am the national teacher next to King An, Liu Lin, the host of this conference."
In the elegant room on the second floor, Emperor Qian said to his little father-in-law, Wang Quan: "Who is this Liu Xi, why have I never heard of it?" “
Generally speaking, when a prince leaves his country, His Majesty assigns a prince to assist him in the affairs of the country and also to supervise his actions.
First, it is to prevent the prince from wandering outside, and secondly, it is also to let the prince have a backer, so that he will not be tied in the fiefdom, act recklessly, and hurt the locals.
"Emperor Qi, at that time, the emperor was busy with government affairs and did not appoint King An as the prince, Liu Xi was a prefect elected by the ministry." Wang Quan said respectfully.
Emperor Qian's face turned pale when he heard this, and then he thought about it, the so-called government affairs are just Wang Quan's excuses, in fact, he just thought that Lingnan Mansion was a poor and remote country, and there was no Li Su to send Wang Fu to sit in the town.
The land of Lingnan, known as the land of a state, has more than 700,000 people, but the imperial dynasty can only control a small county town, a county town of less than 50,000 people, and the rest of the land, although it belongs to the imperial dynasty on the surface, but in fact, there are only a few villages, a few villages, a few villages, and there is a possibility of rebellion at any time.
In Lingnan Prefecture, the power of the imperial family is too thin, and it has always sent a Qipin county lord and more than 200 soldiers to garrison it. For a long time, Lingnan Mansion Yin was just an empty shell.
In the eyes of the government, Lingnan Nanfu is no longer attractive, and it feels wasteful when they give up, because they have not paid any taxes, so the government's hope for Lingnan Province is that those countrymen will not resist.
This is also the reason why Emperor Qiandi let Li Su, an unsuccessful person, govern Lingnan Prefecture.
Portuguese products
After all, you have the most power, and you are only in Hohona County.
"Am I not interested enough of him? Perhaps, this is the reason for Su'er's cultivation. Emperor Qian thought secretly in his heart.
"This exhibition is mainly to bring you the specialties of Lingnan Prefecture, and I also ask you to give me more advice, so that you can have a new understanding of my Lingnan Prefecture."
Liu Lin continued.
"Next, the first exhibit for you is a variety of glazed ware produced by my Lingnan Mansion glaze workshop." As soon as Liu Lin's words fell, he saw ten good-looking and good-looking girls holding a wooden plate and climbing the tower.
For some reason, there was a faint light shining on the ceiling of the high platform, shining on the wooden planks that had been lifted.
The audience in the audience saw that on those plates, there were all kinds of glassware, shining dazzlingly in the dim light.
"That's glass, right? Why does Mr. Liu say it's 'Liuli'? One of the people below asked in a low voice.
"Look at those glassware, each one is priceless, each one is priceless, and we have seen so many glassware in one go." Said a well-informed businessman.
"A few days ago, at the New Year's banquet in the palace, I saw those glass Buddha statues and glass treasures that the prince offered to the emperor, which were not inferior to that!"
"I just heard Liu Fang say that the goods here are all from Lingnan Mansion, could it be that I found a crystal ore vein here?" A businessman said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this glass vessel is not what you imagined it to be.
My subordinates call it 'Liuli', which is refined by the best craftsmen in Lingnan Prefecture, and the current output is enough to produce small batches. Liu Xi seemed to know what his subordinates were thinking, and spoke.
"It's man-made! Mass production is possible! Could it be? The crowd below began to talk, each with their own ideas.
For the dignitaries and businessmen of Daqian, whether it is glass or not, it is their favorite treasure.
If it can be mass-produced, can everyone have several?
You must know that the Daqian Dynasty did not produce glass, only some glassware imported from the West or abroad, each of which is very valuable, and it is almost impossible to get a piece of glassware.
"Excuse me, how much does this glass vessel cost, can you sell me a handful?"
...
This is the Marquis of Wu'an, passed down from generation to generation, his father followed His Majesty the Emperor to fight the country and founded the Qian Dynasty.
Now he is the second ancestor, and the family's assets are countless.
"Don't be impatient, after this exhibition, we will continue to open it for the citizens of Beijing for three days, and there will be some goods for sale at that time." Liu Lin smiled.
"Liu can tell you in advance that the value of these glazed vessels, each piece is more than one hundred taels of silver, and the whole set of glazed utensils adds up to less than one thousand taels of silver, whoever arrives first can get it."
After saying that, everyone's eyes fell on the glass on the stage.
One hundred taels of silver, the expenses of ordinary ordinary families in the capital for several years, but for these people present, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Any kind of glassware outside can only be bought for thousands of taels of silver, but the glassware here is only a hundred taels of silver, which is almost free!
The businessmen sitting in the back had deep eyes, and they all knew that His Royal Highness King An was using the exhibition to promote Lingnan specialties.
In the business field, there is no business field in the business field, An Wang Ken sells it at the price of one hundred taels of silver, which shows that the cost price of this treasure is not high, and the benefits in it are obvious.
Above the second floor, Emperor Qian's heart was bleeding.
One hundred taels of silver, so in this way, the value of the glazed Buddha that he snatched from the prince in the past two days has been greatly discounted?
"I haven't done it yet!" This unsuccessful son, why didn't he say it earlier! “
The Grand Duke Wang Quan, who was standing beside him, bowed his head, but did not hear.
Liu Xi continued: "Okay, everyone, what we want to introduce now is a mirror produced by my Lingnan Mansion. ”
Immediately afterwards, several more girls took the stage.
In the center of the stage, mirrors appear.
A bronze mirror beside Liu Lin was the largest, almost as tall as a person.
Liu Lin's figure caught everyone's eyes, and in a trance, it seemed that there were two identical Liu Lins who appeared in the ring at the same time.
"How can this mirror be so clear?"
"Compared to the mirror at home, it's far behind!"
"If this is seen by the shrews at home, you have to snatch it back!"
Although the audience in the audience were all people who had seen the world, they were still taken aback by this mirror.
They have never seen such a clear mirror, they have never seen such a clear mirror, and they have never seen such a clear mirror.
