God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 912 Willing to gamble and admit defeat
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Of course I remember, I bet you that if you can grow fresh vegetables, I will be the director of the Agricultural Research Institute and work at the Agricultural Research Institute for at least ten days a month. Give the Agricultural Research Institute [-] per month."

This guy remembers it very clearly, that's right.

Du He chuckled and said, "Your Highness, now, it's time to reveal the answer."

"You mean, the fresh vegetables have already been grown?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.

How can this be?

Only seven or eight days have passed.

Du He showed a mysterious smile: "Whether it is true or not, whether it is possible or not, please follow me, Your Highness."

Li Chengqian followed Du He suspiciously into one of the sheds.

As soon as I entered the shed, a gust of hot air rushed towards my face, and four or five men walked up to me, all of them shirtless and sweating profusely.

These people are busy with tools such as hoes in their hands.

Li Chengqian found that there were actually two large stoves burning at the entrance.

The coals burning in the stove glowed fiery red.

It was so hot in the shed that it was burning coal.

What's the point of this?
He continued to follow Du He forward.

Soon, they came to a square piece of land in the center of the greenhouse.

On this small piece of soil, there is actually a piece of green.

Li Chengqian hurriedly squatted down and took a closer look, only to see that the green ones were just young sunflower plants, about one finger high, growing very well, and they might grow up in a few days.

He was dumbfounded, turned around and looked at Du He, but was speechless.

Du He said with a smile: "Your Highness, look, this is sunflower, fresh vegetables... Although it is still small, it is still fresh sunflower. It will grow up in a few days. Look, let's A bet?"

Swish.

Li Chengqian stood up from the ground and grabbed Du He's sleeve excitedly: "Du He, tell me, how did you do it? How is this possible? I am familiar with agricultural books since ancient times, and I have never heard of such a thing." Miraculous thing."

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is really unreasonable to grow fresh vegetables!

Heaven and earth have permanence, they do not exist for Yao, and do not perish for Jie.

The world is dark and yellow, and the four seasons are orderly.

Cold comes and summer goes, harvest in autumn and store in winter, this is the truth since ancient times.

Why did it not work when I came to Du He?

Seeing Li Chengqian's anxious look, Du He couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, actually, this is also a kind of agricultural research. I have studied many vegetable seeds. After planting in winter, no matter how long it takes, they will not germinate. It will not grow naturally, but compared with when sowing in spring, the soil is the same and the water is the same, why can't it germinate? After many observations, I found that the only difference is that the temperature in winter is too low and too cold , the seeds will not germinate. That being the case, it is not difficult to solve this problem. You only need to increase the temperature. So I put the seeds in a room with hot water tablets, and the seeds really germinated, but the seeds grew up , there must be no lack of light... It happens that the glass factory has a lot of discarded glass, which can be used to make a greenhouse with a transparent roof. In the greenhouse, a coal stove is fired, and water is artificially watered from time to time every day. All problems are solved, and the seeds grow. Come out, there is nothing strange!"

For Du He, these problems are all pediatrics.

People in later generations can not only grow vegetables in winter, but also grow bigger and better vegetables.

But Li Chengqian was different.

Every word of Du He's words made him fall into deep thought. He could understand each word separately, but when they were put together, he found it difficult.

He was confused, but still didn't understand.

Du He comforted: "Your Highness, you will be the director of the Agricultural Research Institute in the future, and you will have plenty of time to do research. You will understand these issues sooner or later."

Li Chengqian nodded solemnly: "I understand... Du He, I am willing to admit defeat. From today on, I will be the director of the Agricultural Research Institute. I will fulfill all the conditions you mentioned."

"It's easy to say, I believe that His Highness will shine in the Agricultural Research Institute and benefit the people!"

"Ok!"

Du He encouraged, but Li Chengqian was very confident.

……

Changan.

Imperial City, East Palace.

Zhang Xuansu stood by the lake with a look of melancholy and sighed.

As the prince Zhan Shi, how ambitious he was before, as long as he assisted the prince well, it would not be a problem for him to become a general in the future.

But now, a good deck of cards has been played badly by himself.

Although he still retains the position of Prince Zhan Shi, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he has lost His Majesty's trust.

For example, now my duty is still to teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace.

But the prince was farming in Hu County.

His Majesty is well aware of this matter, but has no intention to bring the prince back.

Isn't this a clear sign that he doesn't take his prince Zhan's affairs seriously?
Zhang Xuansu was very melancholy and sad.

At this moment, a guard hurried over and said with surprise: "Master Zhang, good news, good news, His Royal Highness, the prince is back!"

"What...His Royal Highness, are you back?"

"Exactly, Your Highness just came back and is in the main hall right now."

"Go, hurry up, take the old man to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhang Xuansu was very excited.

He who was still in mourning just now suddenly sees hope.

As long as the prince comes back, everything will be fine.

I have another chance to show off my ambitions.

Zhang Xuansu hurriedly ran to the main hall of the East Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Prince Li Chengqian explaining something to his servants, he rushed up ecstatically, and said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, it is great that you are finally back... I thought that I would never be able to teach His Highness again, and every time I think about it, my heart is burning with worry!"

Li Chengqian turned around slowly, and said lightly: "So it's the teacher...Teacher, how are you these days?"

"It's not good... I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well, but I can see Your Highness again, and everything will be fine." Zhang Xuansu said with red eyes, "Oh, Your Highness, what happened to your hand, is it hurt? Did it happen? Did Du He do it? Don't worry, the old minister will enter the palace and report the matter to His Majesty, and please His Majesty punish Du He severely."

He suddenly saw Li Chengqian's hand tied to his chest, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and said calmly: "Teacher, you are worrying too much. This matter has nothing to do with Du He. It was Bengong who accidentally fell down. By the way, teacher, after Bengong leaves, you have to take Donggong down. Take care of everything up and down, and don't make any trouble."

"Leave?" Zhang Xuansu was taken aback, "Where is Your Highness going?"

Li Chengqian said happily: "Of course I'm going to Hu County. I forgot to tell you that Ben Gong is now the director of the Hu County Agricultural Research Institute. He will go to Hu County for more than ten days every month. I sent two thousand coins, and today, Ben Gong came back to get the money!"
