Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 787

After King Teng received the order, he was in a dazed state, and he didn't even get up to see the angel off when he left.

Li Ji's father and son jointly recommended, and Teng Wang, who had just lost his job, somehow ushered in the second spring of his career.

King Teng has also heard of sweet potatoes.

There are rumors in both the government and the public that this product is high-yield, and the yield per mu can reach [-] catties. If it is popularized all over the world, the people will no longer have to worry about famine, and they can survive even a disaster year in peace.

But King Teng didn't believe it at all. In his knowledge, it is impossible for any kind of grain to yield five thousand catties per mu. This statistic is too ridiculous.

Originally, with the intention of watching the excitement, he quietly waited to see Li Qinzai's jokes, but today the emperor's decree appointed him as a farmer, and King Teng was suddenly stunned.

After a long silence, Prince Teng showed a complicated look on his face, and murmured: "It's too bullying, your family should go to battle together!"

The expression was a little distorted, and the muscles on Teng Wang's face twitched unconsciously, and it was impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

The good news is that after the Bingzhou Road Administration, the emperor gave him another errand, this time the errand is more important than the Bingzhou Road Administration. It can be said that King Teng has already made his official debut in the court.

If the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is really astonishing, King Teng can even leave his name in the history of Qing Dynasty, and his reputation will last forever.

The bad news is that this time the errand was recommended by the Li family, and he also had to work with that little ruffian Li Qinzai. It was clearly written in the imperial decree that King Teng played the role of an assistant, and he was responsible for assisting Li Qinzai in promoting sweet potato seeds.

Teng Wang was reluctant to serve as the little ruffian's deputy.

However, does the emperor dare to disobey the will of the emperor?The emperor gave you face, do you dare not take it?

"Take it, treat it as being bitten by a dog!" Teng Wang secretly gritted his teeth, the expression on his face was like that of a half-aged prostitute who had to accept customers because of compromising her life.

King Teng also knew why Li Ji and his son jointly recommended it.

The British government is blatantly showing favor to him, and its purpose is naturally the county lord of Jinxiang.

Heh, is this king so easily moved by a little favor?For an errand, did he not hesitate to sell his daughter for glory?

Think more.

Turning around, he was about to go back to the house, but he heard someone report that Li Qinzai, Marquis of Weinan County, came to visit and was waiting outside the gate of the palace.

King Teng was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "This Shuzi dares to come to my palace? He wants to die!"

"Order the imperial guards of the palace to drive away those sticks!"

The servant was stunned for a moment, and said in panic: "Your Highness, Li County Marquis seems to have brought a gift, saying it is for compensation..."

King Teng was silent for a moment, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

Even though he is a bad guest, he still visits according to the etiquette. There is no reason for the host to beat up the guest, and the reputation of the palace is even worse.

"Let him get out!" Teng Wang said coldly.

A moment later, Li Qinzai Shi Shiran, dressed in fine clothes, stepped into the side door of the palace, with his hands behind his back and his chest out.

Seeing the frosty King Teng in the courtyard, Li Qinzai smiled all over his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I pay homage to His Royal Highness King Teng. I haven't seen you for a day. His Highness is a bit more handsome, and his complexion is even more ruddy. His brows are brimming with joy." ..."

Before the scene was finished, Li Qinzai suddenly paused, sniffled vigorously, and said, "What does it taste like? Did your mansion roast mutton today? Your Highness, it's burnt..."

King Teng was still suppressing the fire, but when he heard the words, he immediately became furious: "Don't you know what the smell is? You set the fire that day, and the palace is still dealing with the aftermath. People used it as a medicine to refine it!"

Li Qinzai was stunned, showing embarrassment, and tried his best to go back to smooth things over: "The burnt smell... Actually, it's pretty good if you get used to it. After more than 1000 years, there will be a thing called 'coffee', which the world likes. That burnt smell is very addictive..."

Teng Wanghan said with a grimace: "Well said, since Li County Marquis likes to smell burnt, I wonder if I would like to let this king go to your British residence to set a fire?"

Li Qinzai smiled generously: "Of course I am willing. Your Highness, even if you set fire to it, you will never complain. Really, I have long thought that the Duke's Mansion was not pleasing to my eye. I made a great wish to burn the Duke's Mansion on fire, but Grandpa took it very seriously." , have never succeeded..."

King Teng's face was livid, and he took a deep breath.

What's more, it's actually a piece of hob meat... He really is a stingy little ruffian, and his daughter marrying him is not only entering the fire pit, but also entering the gossip furnace of the Supreme Lord.

Li Qinzai was also embarrassed to bring up the burnt matter of the palace, so he waved his hand, and Liu Ahsi and other trilogy came in carrying loads of presents.

"There was a misunderstanding the day before yesterday, and it was the fault of the lower official that your family suffered such misfortune for no reason. The lower official has already confessed to himself three times. Not only did he admit his mistake, but he also has to bear the responsibility of compensation. The mere courtesy is not respectful. Please accept it and give it to your Highness." Forgive me for the offense."

King Teng subconsciously glanced at the load of presents, and then stretched out his hand involuntarily.

No way, King Teng was poor. After he met Li Qinzai, he was very poor. For a whole year, his own daughter was reluctant to make a new dress, and he was even more embarrassed. It has become a habit, and when seeing things related to money, it is always difficult to reach out.

As soon as his hand touched the gift bag, Li Qinzai next to him said abruptly: "Your Highness has touched my gift, so treat it as a betrothal gift from me..."

King Teng was shocked, and shrank back as if his hands were scalded. He was startled and angrily said, "Li Qinzai!"

Li Qinzai hurriedly laughed and said, "Joke, joke, Your Highness is an elegant and funny person, why can't you even hear a joke? These are all for the loss of your family, just be careful..."

King Teng's face paled slightly, and he looked at the ceremony bearer again, only to see a member of the Li family was holding an iron cage in his hand, and there was a majestic fighting cock in the cage.

King Teng's eyes lit up: "This is..."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "It's also a little gift for Your Highness. I bought it from the West Market with a lot of money. It is said that it is called 'Golden Feather Flower Back General'. It has never been defeated in the cockfight. Your Highness looks at it. You know, it must taste good."

"Ah, huh?"

Li Qinzai said without changing his face: "Slip of tongue, the grades must be very good."

King Teng showed joy, but quickly returned to his frosty face.

Although he still hates this little ruffian, but... the gift from the little ruffian is innocent, and this general with the golden feather flower back is obviously very much in his favor.

King Teng is a person with clear grievances and grudges. He never does anything that hates the house or the crow. It is enough to hate people. Chickens are pure.

Turning his gaze, he landed on a sandalwood box again.

Li Qinzai followed his gaze and opened the box, and inside was a pair of mahjong tiles carved from white jade.

"Your Highness, you must have heard of 'Mahjong', right? It's my creation that I don't know how to play mahjong. If Your Highness doesn't give up, I'm willing to teach His Highness how to play. Your Highness will have another entertainment from now on. As long as you play well Fine, His Royal Highness will kill all directions and make money every day."
