Chapter 305: Growing vegetables in a greenhouse

Li Shen's words made these people even more ashamed, they hadn't written to Wei Guifei for a long time, and they also asked someone to send some gifts to the palace when Yuan Zheng was in power.

They no longer live in Weiqu now, but have all moved to Chang'an. In more than a year, their business has occupied more than forty states,

With an annual income of hundreds of thousands of yuan, many people who are also members of the Wei family are envious of them, and even some of the rights of the free public house are peeking at their property.

It's just that now Wei Siqi has Wei Guifei behind them, and a nephew who dares to do anything, so Wei Ting and they can only think, but they dare not move.

For more than a year, their small days have become more and more nourishing, and the concubines have married several to contribute to the Yungong Housing project.

After chatting for a while, Li Shen left them in the palace for a meal before they left

"Lord Qiqi, the shed in the garden has been built." Then the stone came to report it.

"It's done, go over and take a look." Li Shen pulled Lu Dingniang to the back garden.

I saw that a glass greenhouse covering an area of more than half an acre had been completed. The front is made of glass, and the back is a brick wall, because it needs to be fired, so Li Shen made this wall into a fire wall, and if the temperature is not enough, it will still be burned.

"Are the gaps plugged with cotton?" Li Shen asked. There must be gaps in the edge of the glass, and Li Shen doesn't have glass glue, so he can only plug it with cotton.

"Back to the prince, it's all plugged." The foreman replied.

Li Shen nodded, and took Lu Dingniang and the others into the greenhouse.

"Wow, Lang Jun, it's so warm here." As soon as she came in, Lu Dingniang exclaimed.

"Of course, I don't have to grow vegetables." Li Shen patted Lu Dingniang's little hand and said.

Li Shen checked it carefully, the stability, don't fall when the wind comes. The pillars are buried very deeply, and they are supported by a thick pillar at intervals.

Li Shen estimated that even the heavy wind and snow would not be able to collapse.

"Well, well, tell the people to start the fire, make it warm up here, and dissolve the land. Turn over the ground, and plant vegetables with this king tomorrow. Li Shen said with satisfaction.

Back in the room, Lu Dingniang asked;

"Lang Jun, it's so cold this winter, can you grow vegetables?" In her worldview, it's a myth.

"Of course," Li Shen lay on the recliner and pulled Lu Dingniang into his arms.

Although you can't go deep into it, it's still okay to feel and search for some oil.

"This dish needs temperature, sunlight and water, we made a glass greenhouse, the temperature in the fire wall is enough, the glass transmits light, so our dishes can definitely be grown."

Li Shen explained while rubbing the oil.

Although Lu Dingniang is shy, she is used to it.

The next day, Li Shen changed into working clothes, led a few close-fitting maidservant eunuchs, and came to the greenhouse.

The land inside has been melted, and it is very wet, Li Shen went in and took a look at the thermometer, it was about thirty degrees, and it was okay.

Then the ridges are formed and the seeds are planted.

There are many kinds of rapeseed in Li Shen's hands, and many of them are exotic species collected from the Western Regions and other places.

Like sunflower, leek, celery, reed (radish), wead, winter melon, courgette (cucumber), camellia, amaranth, green onion, lettuce, etc.

In addition, there are some exotic varieties of eggplant, pineapple (spinach), and many more

There are also cantaloupe, watermelons, and grapes, Li Shen also planted them for him, in fact, Li Shen himself didn't know which one could grow and which one could not grow when he planted so much.

Because a lot of them he hadn't seen before. He was going to divide the small vegetable garden into different squares in this half-acre garden, and mark what was planted here with a sign.

Then find two people who know how to grow vegetables to be in charge of this vegetable garden, and also record the growth of these vegetables.

In this way, Li Shen began his real pastoral life, and he not only sowed seeds during the day, but also at night.

This gave Li Shen a new understanding of the concept of pastoral life.

Originally, Li Shen was going to end before the Shangyuan Festival, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and suddenly the wind and clouds suddenly changed and it snowed heavily.

In the "Li An" Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin sat in the side hall to make tea and watch the twists and turns in his spare time, and now most of the twists and turns will be sent to the East Palace.

After Li Chengqian's approval, it will be sent to the three provinces, and if there are any deficiencies, it will be sent back to Li Shimin for re-approval.

"The minister is here." Ang Lee walked in from the outside.

"What has King Ji been doing lately?" Li Shimin asked, Li Shimin has also raised several changes, and he is going to take a look today.

"Your Majesty, King Ji has recently shoveled all the flowers and plants in the palace garden, and now he is growing vegetables in the garden."

"Hmph, what a loser, his house is full of strange flowers and plants. There are many palaces that are not available, and he actually shoveled them all just to grow vegetables. Li Shimin began to complain when he heard that Li Shen was defeated, but...

"Grow vegetables! ~You said he grows vegetables at home??? Li Shimin, who reacted, let out a surprised expression,

"Yes, Your Majesty, King Ji built a shed in the garden, and personally took Princess Ji and his subordinates to grow vegetables in the shed." Ang Lee replied.

Li Shimin walked to the door and opened the door to look at the goose feathers and snow outside, then sat down and asked suspiciously;

"Wang De, I don't remember any vegetables grown in winter, and besides, it's snowing so heavily outside."

Li Shimin's question made Wang De also rack his brains to recall, he was also born in farming before, but he didn't remember that any vegetables were planted in winter.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't know what vegetables are grown in winter. Why don't you go to King Ji's Mansion and ask King Ji? Wang De could only think of going to King Ji's Mansion to ask Li Shen.

"Well, forget it, as long as you don't go out and get into trouble, it's nothing to lose."

Li Shimin thought about it and said, Li Shen's ruined behavior is well-known in Chang'an, and he has money anyway, as long as Li Shen doesn't go out to cause trouble, he will do whatever he wants.

At the beginning of the so-called Ruixue Mega Year, everyone didn't pay attention to the heavy snowfall, but after the heavy snow fell for a day and a night, there was still no intention of stopping.

Now that it is more than a foot deep, at this time someone finally realizes that things may not be as beautiful as imagined,

Among them, there is no one who is most worried about Li Shimin.

In the evening, Li Shimin came to the Daji Palace, and after having dinner with Wei Guifei, he sat in the luxurious study arranged by Li Shen and drank tea.

It's just that Li Shimin no longer has that kind of leisure and elegance at the moment, the window was opened a gap, and Li Shimin stood at the window and looked at the snow outside, worried.

It's been a day and a half, and the heavy snow hasn't stopped, and the snow is already close to two feet.

Unlike other disasters, if it is a drought or a locust plague, as long as the people are fine, the imperial court can distribute relief food to survive in peace.

But a snow disaster is different, if the houses are crushed by the heavy snow and the people are displaced, such a large snow will freeze to death even if they do not starve to death.

"Isn't I really the true Son?"
