Datang first village

"Your Highness, these are stone slabs. Should these strange stones be placed inside the house? If they are placed outside, they will be exposed to the wind and sun. It would be a pity if they are not as beautiful as they are now!"

When Eunuch Gao saw that even the steps outside the door were paved, he felt a little distressed about the money.

In other words, this Li Er is really very frugal. Since he moved into the palace, the palace he lives in has been a little leaky.After the Ministry of Industry gave a plan for renovation, Li Er saw that it would cost more than 300 guan, so he resisted not to repair it, but arranged for someone to connect it inside the house with a copper plate when it was raining.

Hearing Eunuch Gao's suggestion, Li Yuanxing just waved his hand lightly: "Just put it outside!"

His Royal Highness King Qin rejected his opinion, and Eunuch Gao was actually happy in his heart.

At least I persuaded myself.

Li Yuanxing was thinking whether Li Er was pretending to be poor, or really poor.In other words, it's just to make an appearance for the world.

However, Li Yuanxing remembered that later generations once heard a saying that doing a certain thing for decades, even if it is just for others to see, will gradually become a habit in life.

However, Li Yuanxing would not think too much about such a problem. He came to the palace for a purpose, definitely not for this kind of floor, or for real or fake poverty.

"Your Highness, the white fungus and lotus seed soup is ready!"

"Send it to the main hall, don't say anything, let the people in the palace deliver it. Do you understand?" Li Yuanxing did not open his eyes, and spoke in a low voice.

Zheng He himself knew the seriousness, so he accepted the ceremony and withdrew.

Even if Li Yuanxing didn't open his eyes, Zheng He didn't dare to be less polite.

At this time, Li Yuanxing said again: "Bring an extra portion and give it to Eunuch Gao. Then let Eunuch Gao arrange it, and give some to Her Highness the Empress. Naturally, the Empress has the final say on whether to share food with the harem!"

"Yes! Your Highness." Zheng He stepped back quickly, and after he was ten steps away from Li Yuanxing, he turned around and trotted away.

Soon, Zheng He returned, carrying two food boxes.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." Eunuch Gao accepted his food box, and Zheng He secretly made a trick, and put a total of eight bowls in the food box for Eunuch Gao.When Li Yuanxing saw the weight of the food box, he knew it clearly, but there was no need to worry about such trivial matters. In Li Yuanxing's view, it was just a bowl of soup.

But Eunuch Gao didn't think so.

The king of Qin rewarded himself with a share, which is kindness.Zheng He secretly filled a few more bowls, thinking that he recommended him to enter the Qin Palace, and this was a reward.

After arranging for someone to deliver the queen's portion first, Eunuch Gao came to Li Yuanxing to thank him again, and then found a corner and took out a bowl from the food box.At this time, Zheng He secretly handed over a small bag, which contained a few rock candies: "Director Gao, this is still delicious no matter how many times it is reheated, and with this rock sugar, it is even more delicious!"

"Little Hezi, you have a heart!"

"I always remember your kindness, but I have no chance to repay you." Zheng He laughed beside him.However, Eunuch Gao said softly: "A word of advice, remember your duty. Don't be so clever in the future. Your Highness is magnanimous, but it doesn't mean you can mess with your duty. You have to know how many people are staring at your position!"

Zheng He's face turned pale, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

What Eunuch Gao said was the truth, Zheng He could hear it.

After taking a sip and putting a small piece of white fungus in his mouth, Eunuch Gao really couldn't describe the delicacy, and said with emotion: "This thing is not ordinary!"

This thing is not ordinary, not only Eunuch Gao said so, but also all the courtiers above the hall.

There are natural black fungus. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, people in Bashu and other places also tried artificial planting in the mountains, but white fungus was extremely rare. Those who saw it in the early Tang Dynasty probably didn’t know what it was, let alone artificial planting. , let alone eat it.

All the courtiers are full of praise.

After Li Er finished drinking a bowl, he couldn't laugh.

"Does His Majesty not like it?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Er didn't shy away from it, and laughed dryly: "I'm asking you, what did you guys do to embarrass Wu Lang recently. Or, what troublesome things did you do to pester my Wu Lang?"

All the courtiers were at a loss and did not understand Li Er's meaning at all.

"You guys!" Li Er shook his head with a smile: "Today's court meeting is over. Tomorrow, the iron and steel workshop will attract investment, and the day after tomorrow gold mine will attract investment. I think you are also very concerned, so let's leave." Li Er waved his hand as a signal After leaving the court, he strode out without waiting for everyone to salute, and said as he walked: "I'm going to see the study, Wulang is going to make me bleed this time!"

All the courtiers were puzzled, but who dared to ask.

When Li Er finished walking, only a few senior officials came to Fang Xuanling's side.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "King Qin's gifts are so easy to receive, even the Holy One will be nervous if he receives such a heavy gift!"

Everyone was enlightened and nodded their heads in agreement.

As a gift to the King of Qin, as long as His Highness the King of Qin accepts it, he will definitely get ten times the reward in return.On the contrary, if Li Yuanxing gives a gift, no matter whether you accept it or not, you will definitely pay a hundredfold.Of course, this payment will definitely not be money, but it is definitely more troublesome than money. King Qin's gift is not so easy to receive.

Li Er walked faster and faster, almost running. He really wanted to see what changes would happen in his study immediately.

Passing through the imperial garden, the feeling of the eyes immediately changed, it was still the eighteen-step stone road, but why is this feeling completely different.Taking a closer look, it was the two black stones with strange patterns on both sides of the stone slab that really made Li Er feel the change.

A sense of awe-inspiring arises spontaneously.

A few more steps forward, it was the black stone steps, which seemed to have a golden light, which instantly gave the study a noble feeling.

Li Er saw Li Yuanxing sitting under the flower tree in front of the study, but he ignored Li Yuanxing and strode towards the study.

Li Yuanxing stood up, but saw Li Er quickly walking past him, and pushed open the door of the study with both hands.

The threshold, the threshold of the Black Stone.On the ground in front of the desk, an unformed jigsaw puzzle was slowly being formed in the hands of craftsmen. The fiery red circular circle desk in the center was like the sun, and Li Er immediately fell in love with it.

"Goro, what do you want when you come to the palace this time?"

Li Yuanxing was stopped by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Li Er saw that there were too many people here, so he turned around and walked towards the imperial garden. Li Yuanxing quickly followed.

After entering the Imperial Garden, Li Er immediately said: "The first time Wu Lang gave you a gift, Shu Bao built a Zhuangzi for you. The second time you gave a gift to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law suggested to Brother Wei to make you King of Qin. The third time you gave gifts, the entire Chang'an County was yours, and the fourth time you even gave Lishan Royal Garden to you."

Li Yuanxing was a little confused when he heard it, what is this and what is it.

Li Er continued: "I ate your corn, and I ate your pumpkin. Yaozhou was assigned to you, and recently it was Tongguan. This time I really feel that the gift you gave is so precious. I am afraid for my brother!"

Fear ass!

Li Yuanxing really wanted to curse, but he still said: "Brother Huang said so, the one who is really scared should be the younger brother!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what do you want?" Li Er asked directly.

"Need population!" Li Yuanxing did not evade, and said directly: "In Huazhou, my brother can produce 800 million mu of fertile land, but there is no one to plant it. According to the current population of Huazhou, one person needs to plant one Thousands of acres of land may not be usable. This is still pulling all the population of Huazhou to farm!"

"No, I don't have any important people!" Li Er called himself Zhen in front of Li Yuanxing for the first time.

Li Yuanxing heard that this was to let himself find a way.

"Brother Huang, let's talk about corn, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes. Didn't the younger brother give some of them for Brother Huang to taste? If you want to exchange two corn cobs for a Yaozhou, it is estimated that after the historian writes it down, it will cost less than 300 yuan." In the past year, someone dared to dig up the tomb of the younger brother, and then pulled out and whipped the corpse!"

Li Yuanxing also said with a half-smile.

"Ah..." Li Er sighed a long time: "Say it yourself, population, is there any way to solve it?"

"I can't help it, that's why I came to beg Brother Huang!" Li Yuanxing was also confused.

Li Erqian laughed twice, and instead of raising the issue of population, he asked: "The black stone seems to be a whole piece of gemstone, at least it's also a whole piece of black jade. Goro has really put his money into it."

"Wrong, this is a stone. I dare not say too much. Let my younger brother cover the whole Chang'an, that is, stone. The difference is the selection of materials, grinding, polishing, and waxing." Li Yuanxing approached Li Er as he said: "Brother Huang, if you sell gold mines three or five times, you will not be able to match my brother's selling stones!"

Li Er's heart was blackened by the thunder, as black as the black marble.

The hand pointing at Li Yuanxing was trembling.

But Li Yuanxing was laughing: "Brother, there is a technique in the world called touch stone into gold. Ordinary people think that it turns stones into gold directly. But the real secret is that it describes how to make a thing like a stone change into something similar to gold." Means that are as precious as gold, or in other words, using various methods to earn the same value as gold!"

After hearing this, Li Er took a step back, and even bowed to Li Yuanxing: "God Lang is brilliant!"

"Don't!" Li Yuanxing hurried to help him, saying to himself, my God, let the emperor salute himself.Fortunately, this is the Tang Dynasty. If it is placed in the whip dynasty of later generations, I am afraid that if I don't commit suicide, I will be stigmatized for thousands of years.

"Goro, there is no solution for the population problem!" Li Er said again.

Li Yuanxing also followed Li Er and let out a long sigh.

Li Er put Li Yuanxing on the shoulder: "Although the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty has recovered a little bit. But the Tang Dynasty only increased by 10,000+ households. I know that the 800 million mu of fertile land you mentioned is far more than fertile land. Adding various industries. Just moving over tens of thousands of households is like throwing a pebble into a pond, and there will be no waves!"

"Brother Huang, how about using money to buy someone?" Li Yuanxing thought of an unreasonable solution. (To be continued.)
