Chinese dining table

Chapter 396 Autumn Whispers
In Li Zhi's eyes, Li Hong is his young son who needs to be taught at any time, so don't let him go astray.

In Wu Mei's eyes, Li Hong is just a furry child who wants to cling to her and enjoy a little maternal love all the time.

In the eyes of those civil and military ministers, Li Hong is the future of the empire, a sapling that needs to be repaired from time to time.

However, when Li Hong's immature Daiwang Ling arrived at the Anxi Duhu Mansion, and when the Duhu learned that His Royal Highness Daiwang, who was about to become the prince, needed to find something called a onion, and specially drew a naive picture.

A cavalry team of [-] people left Khotan.

Since the four towns of Anxi couldn't find what His Highness the Crown Prince needed, and since this thing was called a round onion, it must be in Congling, right?

So, this cavalry went west all the way, killing and questioning constantly, and finally learned from a little king who was captured alive that this thing should be in Little Bolu.

At this time, the cavalry, whose number was less than five hundred, turned around and charged into Xiao Bolu.

They turned into robbers, burning, killing and looting in Xiaobolu, looking for the shadow of the onion everywhere, until they burned a city to the ground, and learned of the whereabouts of the onion from the mouth of the terrified city lord.

It was August at this time, and the thing was planted in the field outside the city, boundless and green.

It's just that the plump bulbs of the onion were blocked by the dense green onion leaves, so they didn't notice...

In order to prevent the young Crown Prince from having a sudden whim, these people looted all the plant seeds they could find along the way.

When they returned to Chang'an to report to the prince with these plant seeds according to the order of the prince's sect, only less than three hundred of the eight hundred cavalry returned.

When Li Hong saw the real onions, onion seeds, and various plant seeds presented to him by those vicissitudes of life cavalry, he was both happy and very ashamed, because as a poor man, even the walls of the East Palace grew The prince full of weeds, he doesn't have enough money to reward these warriors.

After being reprimanded by his father and queen mother, the impoverished His Royal Highness had no choice but to go to Naha. After signing the loan agreement that humiliated the country and humiliated the country, he finally borrowed [-] guan.

He was afraid that these warriors would be treated poorly, and he even compiled all of them into his Prince Six Commander, even though the Prince Six Commander at this time only had 600 people.

Ever since this story spread in the army, the soldiers in the frontier state of the Tang Dynasty all expected to receive the teaching of the prince who spoke naively.

No matter how outrageous and unbelievable the contents of the prince's teachings are, they all have enough courage and perseverance to complete them.

There is no way, His Royal Highness, the young prince, gave too much. Even the soldiers from the Western Regions who laughed at the 800 people at the beginning, after learning that all the survivors in the group were trained into the prince's six ranks, Envious eyeballs are red.

Not all soldiers in the government are eligible to be trained into the Six Commands of the Prince. The Six Commands of the Prince today will be the emperor's personal guards in the future.

This is Datang's practice.

And those soldiers who died on the road to look for the onion received a generous pension from His Royal Highness. As soldiers, after their death, their status as soldiers will be replaced by nephews at home, and these nephews will also follow that branch The root seedlings of the team entered the sequence of the prince's six ranks.

In the eyes of Emperor Li Zhi, this incident was just a child's mischief.

In Wu Mei's eyes, this behavior is a stupid thing done by a child who deliberately misbehaves without getting enough attention from his mother, trying to get his mother's attention.

Of course, the more than 500 government soldiers who died on the way to find the onion did not attract their attention. After all, this is a small matter for them, and it is not worth paying more attention to.

What they didn't know was how much their son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, had paid for this trivial matter that they thought was not worth mentioning.

And the worst price is to run while being a slingshot target for Naha...

And this is just an insignificant item in the loan contract that humiliated the country.

Li Hong took out a red-skinned onion from his arms and patted it in Naha's hand, saying: "As long as it is stored in a cool place, it can be kept for the whole winter.

The best thing about this thing is that the yield per mu is very high. As long as the fertilizer can keep up, it is not uncommon for an yield of four to five thousand catties per mu.

Even if a farmer only sells a catty of onions for one copper coin, he can still charge four or five pennies per mu of land.

Therefore, we must treat the treasure obtained after paying more than 500 lives, otherwise the blood of those warriors will be shed in vain. "

Naha looked at the onion in her hand, and then looked at Li Hong's unique phoenix eyes. She was very moved, so she held the onion and said, "Okay, I still have a lot of land at home. I'll help you plant onions. Also, I don’t want you to pay back the two thousand pens.”

The corners of Li Hong's originally straight mouth curled up slightly, but he insisted on putting on a determined look on his face and said: "A man who promises a thousand gold, there is no reason to break the contract halfway.

You said at the beginning that your money did not come from strong winds, but from the hard work of many businessmen from the Western Regions in the Gobi Desert. This money will definitely be returned to you. "

As soon as the words fell, Naha caught his ear, and Naha said angrily: "How dare you lie to me."

Li Hong asked blankly, "Where did I deceive you?"

Naha roared angrily: "As long as you start lying, your ears will move. Just now, your ears moved. Say, what did you lie to me?"

After listening to Naha's words, Li Hong, who was originally depressed, was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Actually, the production of this kind of onion is not that big."

Naha smiled and let go of Li Hong's ears and said: "I know you're bragging, but because you're so pitiful, the two thousand strings will be written off. I won't hit you with a slingshot anymore. My sister-in-law said, you are a prince, you can't Lost identity."

Li Hong laughed and said, "How embarrassing I should be..."

Naha curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law wants me to ask you a question, you must answer me honestly."

Li Hong sat up straight and said, "Okay, if you ask, I will tell the truth."

"You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If you want money, you have connections. Why do you have to ask me to borrow money?"

Li Hong said with a smile: "Because only borrowing money from you, there will be no future troubles."

"Is there no future trouble? I remember that I wrote a lot of conditions on it."

Li Hongdao: "The conditions you offered are all I can do by myself. If you hit me with a slingshot, I can become faster and steal fine wine from the palace. This is not difficult for me. I call you Na Sister Ha, this is not a condition for me, I usually shout like that.

As for things like copying scriptures for you, think of it as me practicing calligraphy and helping you scare people. I also like this very much. Ever since I became the prince, it has no meaning at all..."

Sitting on a long bench, Naha swung her legs and asked, "What will others ask of you?"

After listening to Naha's words, Li Hong's face immediately darkened, and he said bitterly: "They will ask to put people in my prince's six rates, and they will also ask to send their nephews to me as companions. They will also ask me to bring their little lady into the East Palace.

And none of these things is something I can promise.

They all think that I am still young and don't understand these things, but they don't know that although I am young, I am not a fool who can be manipulated by them.

Mr. has been telling me to be smart, to be smart, to be smart, I remember it firmly, they will never try to lie to me! "

"But, I think it's silly for you to get onions. After so many people died, you can get back some seeds, oh, and a few onions."

Li Hong smiled and said, "Stupid?"

Naha said: "Too stupid."

"Then, do you think the emperor is also a fool?"

Naha thought for a while and said, "I heard from my brother that your emperor is the most powerful emperor in the world."

Li Hong pulled out a spinach from the vegetable field and put it in Naha's hand, "Do you think this thing is worth anything?"

Naha looked at the pineapple dish in her hand and said, "It's not delicious, and it's not worth the money."

Li Hong said with a smile: "When I was studying "Taizong Hui Yao" with the Taifus, I read that in the 11th year of Zhenguan, the Nibra people presented spinach vegetables to Taizong, Taizong was overjoyed and rewarded ten thousand gold.

Since the emperor was able to happily reward the Nivala envoy Wanjin when he got the spinach, it shows that the spinach is very important to us.

I have traveled thousands of miles from the soldiers to get me onions, which has proved that they are loyal to me. Naturally, I will take this opportunity to recruit them into the six ranks of the prince and become my personal soldiers.

My husband once told me that how much money is spent on talents will be doubled in the end, and earned back dozens of times. "

Since the emperor was able to reward the Nivala envoy ten thousand gold for spinach, I can reward the warriors of the Tang Dynasty with 20 gold, and give them official posts, so that everyone will envy and let everyone know, as long as you respect me, Li Hong, I, Li Hong, will live up to it.

Let everyone know that although the prince is small, he has a voice. "

Naha looked at Li Hong who was talking gloomily, and once again she felt that this child was stupid.

Obviously I just asked him a question casually, and it would be fine for him to answer yes or no directly, but he said a lot of things to the boss there, as if he seemed very smart.

Fortunately, she still remembered that her sister-in-law wanted her to treat Li Hong better, so she resisted and waited for Li Hong to finish mumbling.

Just as Li Hong said the last word, Naha jumped off the big bench and climbed onto the back of the black horse, and said to Li Hong: "It's getting late, I have to go home, or my sister-in-law will scold me."

Li Hong said loudly from behind: "What's the matter with you, at least listen to what others have to say before leaving."

The black horse was as fast as the wind, and Li Hong ran to the door, only to hear Naha's voice from a distance: "Next time, next time, next time for sure."

These words sounded without sincerity at all, Li Hong stomped his feet resentfully, and said more than half, holding back in his heart, very uncomfortable.

It's not that there are no people around him who are willing to listen to him, and those who are willing to listen to him can fill the entire Suzaku Street.

However, Li Hong just wanted to talk to Sister Naha, and only by talking to her would he not have to go through what he wanted to say in his head.

You can have a good time, say whatever you want, say whatever you want.
