Datang Nongwang

Chapter 757 Brother Ting, I'm Sorry To You

No one dared to say anything when the servant Jin spoke.

Even that general, Chai Ziwu, could only be speechless, watching Li Chongyuan lead the crowd away with Jin Neishi.

for a moment.

Li Chongyuan's people all left, leaving Chai Ziwu and others staring at each other, at a loss, not knowing what to do next.

"Lao Jin, you have a lot of face. When you appeared, the Chai family members were so scared that their faces turned pale. It seems that if I go out in the future, I have to ask you to come out of the mountain, so as not to be troubled by someone all the time." .” Li Chongyuan joked.

Jin's attendant glanced sideways at Li Chongyuan, and shook his head, "It seems that you have learned witty words after you have been away for three years, young man, and you won't be led astray by the people over there on the other side of the ocean."

Jin's servant really doesn't know what happened to Li Chongyuan on the other side of the ocean.

He didn't even know if there was anyone on the other side of the ocean.

At that time, when Li Chongyuan was on Xisha Island, when Li Chongyuan told Li Yuan about the situation there, only Li Yuan and Wan'er were there, and Jin's servant could only wait outside, and did not listen to Li Chongyuan's narration at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.

Li Chongyuan smiled and said no more.

After entering the city, the two sides parted ways.

Jin Neishi returned to the county prince's mansion, and Li Chongyuan went to his family.

Not long after arriving at my home, Jingjie drums were beating.

at this time.

Everyone in the family stood in the inner courtyard, looking at the things in front of them, with extreme curiosity.

And Wan'er explained to everyone familiarly, "Mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, these are called potatoes, and the fourth brother got them from the ocean. This can't be eaten raw, it can only be eaten cooked. The fourth brother said that the yield per mu can reach forty shi, and if the irrigation is reasonable and the fertility is strong, the yield of [-] shi per mu is not a problem.”

"Wan'er, is what you said true? You can't lie to us with a bunch of lies, right?" Everyone didn't believe it, and Li Chongxuan didn't believe it even more.

That is true.

Wan'er used to always do some inconspicuous things.

Although he never told any big lies, they all told big lies.

but.

After several years, Wan'er has grown up, and she is no longer the Wan'er she used to be.

The current Wan'er was taught by Li Yuan to be very sensible.

Although she still retains some shadows of her childhood, the current Wan'er will never speak big words, let alone talk big things about this matter.

When Li Chongxuan asked, everyone nodded, thinking that Wan'er might be lying to everyone, even the old lady Li Chongxu agreed: "Wan'er, this potato doesn't seem to be big, and I want the yield to reach forty stones per mu. That's impossible. If the yield per mu can reach forty shi, third brother, I will eat these raw."

"Xu'er, you can't talk too much. I remember that your fourth brother once told me that there is a kind of crop with a yield of forty or fifty shi per mu. If the field is managed properly, eighty shi is also possible. Yes. But at that time, I just listened to it and passed it. I didn’t expect that Yuan’er spent a lot of money and a lot of time to build a ship, and then went to the other side of the ocean. I really got these things back. I am looking forward to this food called potatoes. If the yield per mu reaches forty shi as Yuaner said, if the entire Tang Dynasty is planted, there will be no hungry people in the Tang Dynasty." Seeing the old lady My sons didn't believe Wan'er's words at all, so they spoke up to smooth things over for Wan'er.

but.

The old lady herself couldn't believe it.

At least, everything is useless until there is no output.

Moreover.

She has never seen these things in front of her, and neither has anyone else. No one knows whether these things are really as Li Chongyuan said, and the yield per mu can really reach forty shi.

Doubt is normal.

It is normal to not believe.

However, Wan'er had something to say again, "Mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother. When the fourth brother returned to Xisha Island, those potatoes were not so small, they were much bigger than this. The eldest brother said, the better ones The seeds are saved, the ones that are almost, or the skins are worn out, or some are damaged can be eaten. Therefore, the potatoes sent home by the fourth brother are relatively poor and small. Moreover, I was in Xisha Island At that time, the fourth brother made a stewed pork ribs with potatoes, which tasted really good."

Wan'er's explanation is very reasonable, and it is true.

Just as Wan'er explained, Li Chongyuan came back from the outside room and happened to overhear the conversation of the people.

"Hahahaha, what Wan'er said is right. Aniang, don't blame the child for being stingy, and send the little bad ones home to eat. Later in the evening, I will cook myself and make a stewed chicken with potatoes for you, Aniang. Aniang, please taste this good thing that you brought back tens of thousands of miles away." Li Chongyuan laughed loudly as soon as he entered the backyard, and then said after saluting.

When everyone saw that Li Chongyuan had returned, and even the housekeeper had returned, they knew that the matter had been resolved.

But it is one thing to know, and another thing to guess, the old lady still asked aloud: "Yuan'er, everything over there has been settled? Who is planning your ship?"

"I don't know yet, it's just some small fish and shrimp. But it's all over, and I gave way to the boat. If someone in the court wants to attack my boat, I'm afraid I won't be able to hit it. Don't worry about it, Auntie." Now that I'm back, I can take care of everything." Li Chongyuan said indifferently.

The matter was settled, and Li Chongyuan didn't want the old lady to be angry, so it was better not to say anything.

and.

On the way back, Li Chongyuan had told everyone, including the housekeeper.

and.

On the way home, Li Chongyuan also asked the housekeeper who Chai Ziwu's backer was.

The steward said that he didn't know either, only that he was from the Chai family, and his immediate boss was Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Baoguo.

The housekeeper also said, give him some time, and let him investigate and find out who the person behind Chai Ziwu is, and then tell him that Li Chongyuan will know.

to this end.

When the old lady asked about this matter, Li Chongyuan could only shake his head, expressing that he was not clear.

After hearing Li Chongyuan's answer, the old lady didn't ask any more questions.

The old lady knew Li Chongyuan's character.

As long as Li Chongyuan didn't say anything, it would be very difficult for Li Chongyuan to speak about this matter.

Unless under special circumstances, and under her persecution and questioning, maybe Li Chongyuan would tell her.

Moreover.

Her fourth son, Li Chongyuan, is already the title of county king, and he is Suzhou Biejia, Yangzhou shipbuilding ambassador, and what are all water envoys and other official positions.

Furthermore.

Li Chongyuan also sent envoys to various countries under the order, which is a great achievement.

What's more, Li Chongyuan obtained high-yield crops that could fill the stomachs of all the people in Datang from tens of thousands of miles away.

As long as these things are presented to the court, no one will dare to trouble Li Chongyuan again.

The old lady saw it very clearly, and even more clearly understood the truth inside.

Immediately, the old lady nodded her head and said, "As soon as it's dealt with, that's good. It's just right, Yuan'er, you come to introduce A Niang, you have worked hard, and you are not afraid of these things brought back by tens of thousands of seas. A Niang I am very curious, why these things are worthy of your heart and mind."

"Yes, yes, fourth brother, hurry up and introduce these things to us." Li Chongxuan said anxiously.

Everyone urged.

Li Chongyuan knew it in his heart.

Everyone has never seen these things, so naturally they don't understand the benefits of these things.

With the old lady speaking, Li Chongyuan began to introduce them one by one.

Potatoes, that is a good thing that must be introduced.

Corn is also the most important.

Li Chongyuan ignored everyone's surprised and shocked expressions when listening to his introduction, and introduced them one by one.

After the food was introduced, everyone was still in shock, their mouths were so wide that they could stuff an egg into it.

After everyone was shocked, Li Chongyuan went on to introduce other crops.

Such as cassava, tomato, peanut, pumpkin and so on.

In short, this time Li Chongyuan brought a lot of things back to his home, but of course the quantity was really small.

Moreover, things like tomatoes and pumpkins do not have real objects, but only seeds.

But Li Chongyuan still got some and went back to his home, thinking of planting some in his garden, all for the old lady to watch.

of course.

It is also convenient for the old lady to pick and eat after it is ripe.

After all, the garden of our family was originally occupied by Wan'er, there were not many flowers, but there were quite a few small animal graves.

With these things, plant some, and this is not a waste of this garden.

night.

Li Chongyuan cooked a lot of dishes.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan deliberately took some dried chili seeds and fried a spicy chicken.

After this dish was put on the table, everyone ate so much that they burst into tears, and Wan'er was even sweating profusely, but she still couldn't stop talking.

In his previous life, Li Chongyuan was from Gan Province.

It is delicious and spicy, and I am not afraid of spicy food, and I can even eat spicy food.

past life.

Many people on the Internet are arguing about where people can eat spicy food.

Li Chongyuan has always believed that the people in his hometown and in the west of Jiangxi, that is, in Pingxiang City, are definitely the places where people can eat spicy food the most.

Stir-fried red peppers, millet peppers, dried chilies, and sour peppers with green peppers.

This is also a five-spicy dish in Li Chongyuan's hometown in his previous life.

Although this dish is not well-known, it is definitely the hottest among spicy dishes, the king of spicy dishes.

and.

In the hometown of Li Chongyuan in his previous life, there is also a kind of snack made of chili peppers, which is also a must-have snack for Chinese New Year in the farmer's home.

but.

Few people are willing to cook these traditional delicacies now.

After all, people nowadays are willing to spend some money to buy things because they have money, and they are too lazy to do it.

It's like glutinous rice noodles, fried tofu or something.

Li Chongyuan remembers that when he was young, every household had to do it.

During the Chinese New Year, when visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings, bring some glutinous rice sticks as New Year's greetings, which is very New Year's flavor.

But now.

Not moving is giving cash, which loses the taste of the year and even the tradition.

Well, life is atmosphere, life is lively, life is reunion, life is etiquette.

Without these, the tradition is lost.

However, with the development and changes of the times, as long as the disadvantages brought about by this rapid development are overcome, these traditions will eventually come back.

The next morning.

After breakfast, Li Chongyuan complained to the old lady that he was going to Li Zhuang.

When Li Chongyuan left his home and was about to climb into the carriage, a carriage drove up on the street not far away.

The carriage stopped not far from the gate of our house, Li Chongyuan wondered who would come to the gate today.

The curious Li Chongyuan filtered many people in his mind, but he didn't expect that after one person got on and off the carriage, Li Chongyuan immediately wanted to run away.

Who made Li Chongyuan want to run away at the first sight?
In fact, it wasn't anyone who came, it was Wang Ting who hadn't seen him for several years.

Wang Ting got out of the carriage, and walked towards Li Chongyuan quickly with an angry look on his face.

As soon as Li Chongyuan saw Wang Ting's posture, he knew that he might not be able to hide today, so he could only greet him with a smile, not daring to pretend.

Wang Ting came to look for Li Chongyuan at this time, and with an angry look on his face, Li Chongyuan knew that Wang Ting was blaming him even if he had no brains.

What is he to blame?
Needless to say, it must be because of Li Chongyuan's going to Haiyang.

"Junwang Li, long time no see." Wang Ting came to Li Chongyuan, and the anger on his face was even more serious, and when he spoke, he was very angry.

Li Chongyuan hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Brother Ting, I haven't seen you in several years, so don't come here to be safe."

"Junwang Li, do you still remember the agreement between us!" Wang Ting was very upset at the moment, and his displeasure towards Li Chongyuan was written all over his face.

Li Chongyuan stretched out his hand, intending to pat Wang Ting's shoulder, but Wang Ting avoided him.

Li Chongyuan shrugged helplessly, and still smiled apologetically: "Brother Ting, this is not a place to talk, please come in and have a cup of hot tea, and I will tell you slowly, do you know?"

Wang Ting was not happy, but talking in front of the gate was really a bit of a status, and finally nodded.

After returning to the mansion of my family, the housekeeper served hot tea.

After the two sat down, Li Chongyuan quickly explained: "Brother Ting, it's not that I don't remember the agreement between us, but that we were forced to do so at the time. Brother Ting should have heard that after some misunderstandings occurred in the Imperial College, we I was surrounded by scholars from Quanchang'an. As long as I go out, those scholars will not let me go. Therefore, as a last resort, the Holy One appointed me as an envoy to the countries in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, at that time I had no choice but to cut the mess quickly. In the end, I went there for three years, and during these three years, I happened to go there. Come to think of it, you have heard about it."

"Then why didn't you send someone to notify me at that time, even if you wait for me for a few days." Wang Ting was still angry.

Li Chongyuan smiled helplessly, "Brother Ting, I, Li Chongyuan, am sorry for you. If you want to blame me, I have nothing to say. After all, I really did not behave properly in this matter."

"Since you admit this, it means that you, Prince Li, are still an upright gentleman. If you had sent someone to Lingnan to inform me, you only need to wait a few days, at most half a month, and I can go there with you. But I didn't expect that you, Li Junwang, were one step ahead of me, and even broke your promise. Now that you have admitted this matter, I can't blame you." After Wang Ting saw Li Chongyuan admitted this matter, the expression on his face The anger on his face gradually dissipated.

Seeing Wang Ting's anger fading away, Li Chongyuan felt very at ease.
