For Li You, the former prince, it is a very common thing for Li Shen to choose a few concubines to return to Chang'an.

Although the prince has a number of wives and concubines, as long as there is no name, the clan will not care.

And if you can give birth to a few more offspring for the royal family, then you will still be a meritorious man.

Li You still has more than a dozen concubines in the house now, which is not a big deal.

It's just that Li Shen doesn't think so.

"Fifth brother, I already have it in my house..."Li Shen said that he broke his fingers and began to count, Lu Dingniang, Wu Meiniang, Lan Yuer, plus Chunxiang Dongmei.

"Five, there are five in my house, and I came out this time to do business, you said that I would go back and take the two concubines back, will Aya beat me."

Li Shen's words made Li You sigh for a while, this younger brother thinks differently from others in his mind for a day.

"Tenth brother, it's hard to come here, just stay in my Thorn Mansion for two days, and I'll take you to take a good look around this Rongzhou.

You have been tired all the way, I will take you to bathe first, wash away the dust along the way, and we will have a good drink in the evening. ”

"Then it's going to bother the fifth brother, it's really a crime along the way." Li Shen also nodded.

Li You arranged Li Shen to a courtyard in the Assassin's Mansion, and then returned to the main hall to arrange dinner.

What is not eaten at noon, or that sentence is said to the poor people.

"Lang Jun." Li You entered the inner room, and Webster greeted him.

"Everything is arranged?" Li You asked.

"Well, dinner has been arranged, and the gifts from King Ji have been unloaded. It's just ....." Webster wanted to say and stopped.

"Just what?" Li You asked curiously.

"It's just that there are a lot of things, and we can't put it in our own warehouse, so we have set aside a yard to install it." Wei used to be the princess and the daughter of the Wei family, and she still has vision.

But she had never seen anyone give such a gift.

"It doesn't matter, my younger brother has always been generous, although I didn't have much contact with him before, but I heard many people from the clan say that the tenth brother is very good to his brothers and sisters." Li You waved his hand and said absently.

"Alas, there are very few people who can care about brotherhood as much as King Ji. Even in a family like my Wei family, interests come first. Merriam-Webster sighed.

"Otherwise, Chang'an is saying that King Ji Li Shen is an alternative."

"But Lord Wang, King Ji is too generous.

Among the gifts, silk and satin, gold, silver and jade, pearl agate are all available, and they are all of the highest quality.

Just like Jiannan's high-grade silk, it is extremely valuable, and we used to be able to buy only a few horses every year, but this time King Ji sent a cart, which was as many as 100 horses.

There are also more than a dozen cars of silk silk, and the concubine estimated that the gift this time was no less than 100,000 yuan. And even more. ”

Wei has also seen the world, so he knows how valuable the things Li Shen gave are, many of which she didn't even have when she was a princess before.

It seems that Li You is in the fiefdom, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, but in fact, it is a small amount of money, and it is impossible for the palace to buy real good things at that time.

When Li You was the prince, he only had more than 10,000 yuan a year.

"One hundred thousand? So much? Li You was also surprised.

"Lang Jun, do you think King Ji will have anything to ask you to help with." The young lady of the big family has more knowledge than others.

The first thing that came to mind was that Li Shen might ask Li You for help. And there is one word in her heart that she has not said, contention.

"No, I'm just a state assassin now, what can I do to help my tenth brother, I'm just a county uncle,

In addition to farming, there is no military power here. Li You immediately denied it.

"Just these gifts......?" Merriam-Webster was still a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, do you know how much money the tenth brother gave to the eldest brother, Princess Linchuan got married, and the tenth brother spent millions of yuan.

This is a drop in the bucket for the tenth brother, and the tenth brother is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he only thinks about enjoyment, and he will be fine. Li You reassured.

Webster nodded, but she was still a little worried, her Lang Jun was almost killed.

Now that she has escaped death, she wants to live a stable life,

And she also heard about her father's dismissal, but she didn't have the ability to take care of marrying a chicken and a dog.

"You go to the back and look at the point, the tenth brother has different identities, but he must not go wrong."

Li You instructed Webster that if he wasn't Li Shen's brother, Li Shen wouldn't eat at his place. The history of a state assassin is nothing to the prince.

In the evening, Li You invited Li Shen to dinner, and also took out the fruit wine given by Li Shen.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Li Shen said:

"The fifth brother is so polite, it's a common thing. I'm tired of eating big fish and meat every day these days. ”

"These are all local specialties, don't be polite, the tenth brother is welcome, you came all the way to me, how can the fifth brother not fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Li Shen had no choice but to give up.

"Fifth brother, how has the grain I sent you grown in the past few years?"

Li Shen took a bite of the dish and asked, the main reason why he came here was to see how the rice seeds were being cultivated.

Food is the foundation of a nation.

"What kind of agricultural college of yours is really amazing, they don't know how to get it in the past few years, and it has increased our grain yield by 30%, and the maturity time is more than ten days faster."

Li You praised.

"Sancheng?" Li Shen calculated in his heart, one acre of land is more than two stones, that is, more than two hundred catties. Thirty percent is more than sixty pounds.

"Now there are less than four stones per acre of land?" Li Shen was surprised.

"Tenth brother, this is already very good, this place has a lot of mountains, and there are very few places that can be planted.

In many places, trees are cut down and transformed into fields. ”

Li You saw that Li Shen was a little dissatisfied and explained.

"Alas, it's a little less, so it's barely okay to have six or seven stones." Li Shen had some regrets.

Six or seven stones is seven or eight hundred catties, and Li Shen feels that this number is the number in his heart.

"Six or seven stones? Wouldn't that be tripling? Tenth brother, you really dare to think about it. Li You said with a smile.

"Fifth brother, you remember a sentence, how bold people are, how productive the land is.

You have to dare to dream. Otherwise, what do you think I spend so much money on to set up an agricultural college every year?

You know how much it costs me to transport grain seeds from various states and counties to agricultural colleges every year, rice seeds are not worth much, and transportation costs are expensive. ”

Li Shen complained.

"Then I'll take you to the field tomorrow, the first season should be harvested now, and then I'll go to your agricultural college for a spin."

Li You said.

"Well, that's what I'm here for, if my Datang's grain production is doubling or tripling, then the population will increase, and we can do a lot of things."

Li Shen nodded.

"Then I hope you can succeed, come, do it." Li You raised his glass.
