Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 821
Tengwang Pavilion is indeed not a small project. Li Qinzai made a rough estimate, from hiring people to using materials, it needs at least [-] guan.

Although the Li family is not short of money now, and Li Qinzai's beauty cream and ice business is doing well, but the expenses are not small. In addition to raising caravans, these two businesses have now become the main source of income for the Duke's Mansion.

Just like Xue Na, Li Qinzai also needs to support the huge Duke's Mansion.

The temporary transfer of [-] guan was a lot of pressure on Li Qinzai.

King Teng didn't care so much, anyway, Li Qinzai promised to contribute money to help him build the Pavilion of King Teng, so he meant what he said.

"Your father is going to sell me..." Li Qinzai looked at Jin Xiang pitifully, and whispered in her ear: "It's too beastly, do you have the heart to see me struggling desperately under the crotch of a rich woman?"

Jin Xiang chuckled, gave him a blank look, and then tugged at King Teng's sleeve and said, "Father, there is no need to rush to build the Prince Teng Pavilion. Didn't the emperor give you and your husband an errand? My daughter heard that this matter is very important. , it is related to the luck of the Tang Dynasty and the food and clothing of the people for generations, after the father and husband finish this errand, we can talk about the Tengwang Pavilion, and we should not lose the big because of small things."

King Teng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said indifferently: "There is no delay between the two, the errands have to be done, and the money has to be paid. Doesn't the good son-in-law want to renege on his debt?"

Li Qinzai grinned, and said with a smile: "Of course I won't renege on my debt, my son-in-law's character is well-known in Chang'an City..."

King Teng raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of your character... My son-in-law, you'd better write a deed of debt, or I won't feel at ease."

Li Qinzai: "..."

Is there no such trust between people?

"How about this, my father-in-law attaches so much importance to the Tengwang Pavilion, my son-in-law will ask the emperor to dismiss my father-in-law's errand, let the old man go back to Hongzhou, and personally supervise your Tengwang Pavilion, how about it?" Li Qinzai said maliciously. laughed.

King Teng froze for a moment.

This is not easy to answer. He has long known the importance of sweet potatoes. Li Zhi appointed him as a farmer to supervise the preservation of sweet potato seeds and planting in the south. He paid for it.

Especially in this matter, Li Ji and his son personally went to Shushu and recommended Teng Wang to Li Zhi. Many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty were jealous and envious of him.

Such a good job destined to be famous in history fell on him, and it would be too late for someone else to thank God. If he didn't cherish it so much, I'm afraid Li Zhi would never use him again from now on.

Li Qinzai turned him into a corner with a single sentence, and King Teng snorted resentfully, not daring to be a monster anymore, so he said uncomfortably: "There is no need to withdraw from the errand, this king has a heart to serve the king, how can a good son-in-law do that?" Mistake me."

"The matter of the Tengwang Pavilion, um, let's wait for this matter, you and my son-in-law will discuss it later."

Li Qinzai laughed, "If you can't be cured, you put your hands in your pockets this year, do you think you don't know what an opponent is?"

The atmosphere of the banquet then became more normal.

When an old man no longer acts as a demon, his IQ and EQ are relatively normal. Li Qinzai can at least communicate with him in human language, which is miraculously understood by the old man.

"It's the end of summer, and it's almost autumn here in Guanzhong. The climate is not suitable for another season of planting, but the weather in the south is still hot."

"The imperial court will issue an official document and send it to Lingnan and Qiongzhou quickly, so that the local government will free up land and try to plant another season of sweet potatoes this year. After leaving enough grain seeds, it will probably be widely planted in Guanzhong next year."

Li Qinzai looked at King Teng and said with a smile: "It will be hard work for my father-in-law, from Chang'an to Lingnan, eating and sleeping all the way, and the journey is very fast, my father-in-law, please be prepared to endure hardships."

King Teng nodded: "Since it was sent by the emperor, I will work tirelessly, but I still have a question..."

"My father-in-law, please tell me."

King Teng said slowly: "This errand is just to assist you, why is it not you who went to Lingnan to eat and sleep, but this king?"

"Because your daughter just got married, how can my son-in-law make your daughter a widow? Do you have any questions?" Li Qinzai said with a smile.

King Teng's eyes widened in shock, and he opened his mouth, realizing that the reason was unassailable.

As long as King Teng still has a trace of conscience, he can't say a word of objection.

Glancing at Jin Xiang resentfully, King Teng sighed heavily, and silently accepted the fact.

You and my daughter are having fun at night, but this king travels thousands of miles for you. No matter how you think about it, you feel like you married your daughter to an animal.

"There are still ten experienced old farmers in Zhuangzi. The old man will take them with him this time. Don't make up your own mind about everything. There is a specialization in the art industry. When it comes to farming, the old man remembers to listen to the old farmers. What do they say? Whatever to do, the father-in-law just needs to create a good environment for them."

Li Qinzai seriously urged, but Teng Wang reluctantly agreed.

At this moment, it is the boss explaining matters to his subordinates, not Weng and his son-in-law chatting. King Teng is still very clear about the change of status.

Li Qinzai smiled and gave the old man a sweet date.

"It's a matter here. If Lingnan harvests a lot this year, the father-in-law has made great contributions to the country. In the future, he will return to Chang'an with glory and glory. He will be praised by the emperor. Since then, he will be highly valued by the emperor. It seems that the lineage of King Teng has stepped into the court and entered power. Center, congratulations."

King Teng's expression couldn't help but flutter when he heard this.

In the past few years, he has worked desperately to climb up the camp, constantly asking the emperor for errands, isn't it for the sake of being reused, so that future generations will not be treated by the heavenly family, and they will rush around like a dog to be relegated at any time?

As long as the errands are done, Jane will be in the emperor's heart from now on, and the line of King Teng will be stable, and the descendants will also have a solid foundation, and the emperor will give him a little bit of good looks.

Li Qinzai toasted with a glass: "My father-in-law, drinking wins."

King Teng hesitated for a moment, then picked up the cup and drank it down.

Putting down the wine cup, Li Qinzai said earnestly: "Going thousands of miles away is a matter of Guozuo, so I ask my father-in-law to be careful."

"This year Ganjingzhuang planted sweet potatoes, and the income totaled more than [-] catties. My father-in-law went to Lingnan and took [-] catties with him. The rest was left in the village and guarded by the guards. Grain seeds are very important, so don't waste them. "

King Teng couldn't help but said: "Wait a minute, why did I hear that this year's sweet potatoes are more than [-] catties? The amount is wrong for my son-in-law..."

Li Qinzai said with certainty: "The amount is correct, so what... After the harvest, my family and I enjoyed a few catties, and my father-in-law doesn't need to care about these details."

King Teng took a deep breath, strangely, he wasn't angry at all, because such actions were really in line with the bastard's personality, and he didn't feel any disobedience at all.

"Sweet potato is not easy to come by. For it, many lives have been sacrificed. At the same time, it is also the livelihood of millions of people. It will become popular all over the world in the future. For the public, the father-in-law's merits are immeasurable, and his name will go down in history. In private, the father-in-law will also be reused by the emperor. , Wang Mai’s revitalization is expected.”

King Teng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This king will be careful in dealing with things, spend half his life in disrepute, and I also want to do something sincerely for the emperor and the people."

Looking deeply at Jinxiang, King Teng smiled: "This king also wants to accumulate some merits for future generations. After a hundred years, when the children and grandchildren worship me, I can also enjoy the incense of the descendants without shame."
