Chapter 291: Return
Li Shen's team had already set off for Nanyang at the beginning of the year. Now that he has only returned in December, Li Shen has almost forgotten about them.
"Xuan Ce, what you said is true? The king thought they were all dead. ”
"The news that the prince has just sent back from Fuzhou is that their ships are all parked in our own dock. They reportedly brought back a lot of rice and spices. There were seven large ships. ”
"So much, it's really good, this news is the best news for Yuanzheng. Inform them to hire a vehicle locally, it doesn't matter if the price is high, it must be transported back to the king before the Yuan Zheng, and the king immediately enters the palace to ask for an order, and let the local government soldiers be responsible for escorting. ”
"Yes" Wang Xuance agreed, knowing that this batch of rice was too important for the future strategy of the palace.
After Li Shen finished explaining, he rushed to the palace with people in a hurry, and Wang De heard that Li Shen had something important to see Li Shimin and hurriedly reported.
Li Shimin was also surprised, his son had never talked to him about business, when Wang De took Li Shen to the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin was deliberating.
"Li Shen, you are in such a hurry to see me, what's the matter?"
When Li Shen came in, these bigwigs from the three provinces and six departments all looked at Li Shen, and they also wanted to see what important things happened to this unobtrusive prince.
"Aye, the southbound fleet is back!"
"The fleet going south?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and didn't understand, but soon he remembered what Li Shen said about the planting of three crops.
"You mean the fleet that went south to buy seeds?"
"Exactly, Aye, you're in Fuzhou now?"
"Okay, good, can you get back the seeds?" Li Shimin was very excited.
"There are several big ships."
"Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of ship is going south that Your Majesty is talking about?" Fang Xuanling looked at what the two of them said in full swing, and he didn't know what was so happy, so he asked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember what I said a few months ago, King Ji found rice that crops three times a year? Now the fleet has returned. ”
"Coming back?"
"Really?"
"The blessing of the Tang Dynasty."
The crowd began to sigh.
"Zhugong, the three-cropping rice can only be grown in the south, like Jiannan, Lingnan. Most of the south can only be double-cropped. But we can nurture it ourselves.
This king is going to build a cultivation base in the fifth brother of Lingnan, and mix all the rice seeds of the Tang Dynasty in that place to see if he can breed better seeds. ”
"Two crops are already good, and three crops should require special conditions." Ma Zhou, who has planted the land, said.
"Yes, if the south can be double-cropped, then my country's output will be doubled, and even if it is a disaster year, there will still be no famine in my Datang." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded in agreement.
Since Li Shen paid for the construction of the academy in the name of the crown prince, the eldest grandson Wuji's attitude towards Li Shen has become ambiguous again.
"King Ji is really the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty, no wonder they all say that King Ji is reincarnated as the God of Wealth, and now that King Ji has found the three-ripened rice, my Datang will definitely be thriving." Gao Shilian praised.
As soon as he heard that he was reincarnated as a god of wealth, Li Shen's defense mechanism was immediately and automatically activated.
"Where does Gao Gong say, the king's treasury is now empty, and all of it has been used to build the academy, and now he can barely maintain the expenses of the palace. This king is really ......"
"Okay, tell me what you have to do, let's leave if you have nothing to do, we still have to discuss state affairs." Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen's words that he was going to continue to sell miserably.
"...... "Do you unload the mill and kill the donkey so quickly?"
"Aya, I'm here to ask for the local government soldiers in Fuzhou to escort this batch of supplies back to Chang'an."
"Oh, Wang De notified his subordinates to send an official letter to Fuzhou for 600 miles, and ordered to send 5,000 soldiers to escort the palace supplies back to Chang'an."
"Yes"
"That's... Where to retire? Li Shen thought that there would be some reward or something, or a few praises.
"Well, go ahead."
“........”
Li Shen left the palace depressed, but he came here, and it was good to go to the harem to see Wei Guifei. So Li Shen turned around and went to the harem,
Li Shen also had a lot of procedures when he entered the harem, and he was followed by a eunuch behind him.
When I came to the Daji Palace, Li Mengjiang was making a female celebrity with Wei Guifei, and a charcoal basin was placed between the mother and daughter.
The weather was too cold, and in ancient times, you could only rely on charcoal basins for heating. Many people don't even have charcoal pots at home, and some freeze to death every winter.
As soon as Li Shen came in, he heard Wei Guifei say
"Close the door, the cold wind is blowing in."
Li Shen looked at the red hands of the mother and daughter, and felt very guilty, his palace was so warm, but he forgot his mother and sister.
Is this the legendary marriage of a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother?
"Mother, come and live with me. It was very warm there for me. Li Shen said distressedly.
"Silly boy, it's not like this every year."
"No, it's too cold this winter, you and your sister are going to live with me, I'll tell Aye."
"Forget it, Shen'er, this is not in accordance with the rules, your sister is nothing to come to you, and the mother concubine can't live permanently." This is the rule, and Li Shimin is not dead. One of your concubines lives with your son permanently, so that's worth it.
"My sister won't go either, I'm going to stay with my mother." Li Mengjiang also said.
Li Shen saw that the mother and daughter were so tough, and their brains began to run rapidly.
During this period, there were no more than several heating methods, stoves, kangs, and earth dragons.
In fact, Li Shen's laboratory is studying the sealing problem of heating pipes, and there has been a great breakthrough. But it's definitely not going to be needed this year.
"Shishi, you immediately go back to the palace and ask Wang Hongfu to bring the craftsman who made the earth dragon and kang for the palace to the outside of the palace. There is also some material.
I'm going to go to the queen mother to ask for a decree. ”
The affairs of the harem are the responsibility of the queen, and if outsiders want to come in, it is also approved by the queen.
Li Shen went to the Lizheng Hall in a frenzy in the astonishment of the mother and daughter.
"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Ji asks to see you." A eunuch retribution.
The weather was too cold, and the eldest grandson queen took the two princesses of Jinyang and Hengshan to the house. Hearing that Li Shen was coming, the son and Hengshan were very happy,
A moment later, Li Shen was brought in,
"I've seen my mother."
"Shen'er come and sit down and serve tea."
"Thank you, Mother."
"Tenth brother, tenth brother, didn't you bring something delicious?" The two little ones looked Li Shen up and down, and asked after finding nothing.
"The tenth brother is here temporarily, and I will have someone send it to you tomorrow." Li Shen likes these two little sisters very much, especially the son, who is smart, well-behaved and sensible.
"Mother, my son is here to ask my mother for her will, and I want to bring some craftsmen in and rebuild a room for my mother's concubine's Daji Palace.
I just went to the Daji Palace, and I saw my mother and sister around the charcoal basin, which was very painful, and now I see my mother too, and my heart is even more uncomfortable.
The son is not filial, he didn't come in advance, and after a while, his mother chose a room, and let the craftsman renovate it together, and barely survived this winter.
Next year, we will be remodeled and renovated. Li Shen's words were full of emotion, and the eldest grandson queen was also moved.
Xindao, you look at other people's sons, see that your biological mother is cold, and try your best. looked at his son again, and suddenly felt that it was better for other people's children.
"Shen'er Renxiao, I'll write you a note." After speaking, he came to the table and began to write a note to Li Shen.
(I feel like there are some stamps, no inspiration, mainly because I'm usually too busy, and when I come back to think about the plot, I don't have an outline.) Everyone's advice. The 38 words are not in the text. )
