Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 70: This kid, bargaining with me?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Looking at the emperor Liu Che who suddenly appeared in Gillian's room, Li Huan instantly had a feeling that the emperor could teleport. When did this man come?
Liu Che looked at the surprised Li Huan and smiled lightly: "Come here and talk."

"Here!" Li Huan stepped forward, Chuntuo winked at him, and Li Huan immediately knelt down on the side.

But, where did Gillian go?
When Li Huan faced Liu Che now, he felt how important this cheap mother of his was.

"The spring plowing here is very good. I have seen it." Emperor Liu Che seemed really satisfied.

Li Huan cupped his hands and said: "The curved shaft plow is a piece of cake for cultivating the land. Weichen is now thinking about a machine that can replace human farming, allowing one person to easily sow dozens of acres of land."

When Liu Che heard this, he glanced at Li Huan with great interest, but deep in his eyes, he seemed to be holding back a smile: "I wonder how long it will take to make Aiqing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I'm only [-]% or [-]% sure, but as for how long it will take to do it well, I don't dare to say."

Liu Che said with a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter. I, a big man, have a Quyuan plow and will become rich after increasing production. I am not such a greedy person, but there is something happening here that I find very strange."

"I wonder what your Majesty is talking about..." Li Huan pricked up his ears.

Liu Che said with a smile: "On the downwind side, why are human and animal feces collected and steamed?"

"Your Majesty is talking about high-temperature compost?" Li Huan explained: "Human and animal feces will contain many insect eggs. Once the spring warms and flowers bloom, the insect eggs will hatch out and turn into insects, eating crops and causing food shortages." The yield was greatly reduced, so Wei Chen asked the people below to collect all the feces and implement a high-temperature composting strategy. When the crops are cultivated and grown, they are fertilized to increase crop yields."

Liu Che regretted that he didn't bring Sang Hongyang, the Da Nong Ling, to come. He found that he couldn't tell whether Li Huan's words were true or not.

"If there are any results, remember to report it." But Liu Che had Liu Che's method. With just one sentence, he could make the emperor appear inscrutable.

"Here!" Li Huan cupped his hands, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to..."

"You want to say Gan Fu?" Liu Che leaned back. Gillian's pear wood chair was very comfortable. He looked at Li Huan with an appraising look.

Li Huan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, both Zhang Qian and Gan Fu have been kind to their humble ministers. If they know their kindness but do not repay it, aren't they no different from beasts and rotten trees?"

"Okay, you go to Tingwei to pick up someone by yourself." Liu Che half-squinted his eyes, seeming a little tired.

Li Huan was about to hand over his hand to thank him when he heard Liu Che ask slowly: "I don't know, when will the thing you said can be used to sow dozens of acres of land by one person be produced?"

Li Huan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, even if I stay up all night, I must get this thing out as soon as possible."

"I just missed the spring plowing. If this thing can be used for spring plowing, wouldn't my big man have more food?" Liu Che sighed helplessly.

Li Huan was speechless. Your Majesty, who just said that he was not greedy?
"Your Majesty, after the Quyuan plow was built, more land has been opened up. Next year, what Wei Chen said will be used by people all over the world." Li Huan immediately expressed his position: "In the past, Wei Chen and his mentor After studying this for a long time, I have not yet completely succeeded, but I have only roughly sorted it out, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to atone for my sins."

"Okay, I get it. When you have free time, go to Bashu to see if there is any possibility of improvement in the salt industry there. Also, go to Zhuo's house to see their iron smelting work. How is it? If it looks really bad, then I can give you some advice. What do you think of it, Aiqing?"

Liu Che's words were so obvious, of course Li Huan understood. "Wei Chen understands."

After watching Li Huan exit, Chuntuo took out a set of coarse linen clothes with a smile, and Liu Che put on the coarse linen clothes with an indifferent expression.

Liu Che felt uncomfortable wearing the rough linen clothes, but he could endure it.

"Where is Gillian?"

"Reporting to your majesty, I was on the construction site over there, pretending to be a supervisor, and listened to Da Changqiu saying that my noble lord, following Li Hou's treatment methods these days, not only has he felt much happier, but he has even gained a little weight. !”

A trace of smile lines appeared at the corner of Liu Che's mouth: "He is not timid. The day I consecrated him, he started bargaining with me. But, what he wants are simple things. Chuntuo, when do you think Li Huan will ask me for it?" What about excessive demands?”

Chuntuo was shocked, but he had a kind and obedient smile on his face: "According to my servant, Marquis Li is one of the few smart people in the world. How could he do such a self-destructive thing?"

"I hope he can stay smart." Liu Che walked out of the courtyard leisurely with his hands behind his back. Da Changqiu lowered his head and led Liu Che to the construction site.

As a result, Liu Che was looking at the wild flowers planted on both sides of the road, secretly thinking that Li Huan was very smart, but he was really not particular about planting flowers and plants. He was about to turn around and tell Chuntuo to let people divide some of the flowers and plants in the palace. Come here, lest the princes of such a huge empire can only plant some wild flowers and weeds, lose their status and make the people of the world miserable.

A burst of hearty laughter suddenly attracted Liu Che's attention. He was surprised that this kind of laughter seemed to exist only in his memory.

How many years has it been since I heard Gillian smile so happily?

Liu Che walked forward quickly, and Da Changqiu, who was pretending to be a worker, hurriedly followed.

The emperor couldn't believe his eyes. Gillian, who was usually arrogant, was actually chatting with a group of workers around a fire. I wonder what they were talking about, and she was so happy?
Liu Che watched from a distance and wanted to step forward, but he was worried about disturbing this beautiful thing.

Gillian looked up inadvertently and suddenly saw the emperor Liu Che who was wearing linen and rags. She was startled at first, and then she smiled happily. She waved to Liu Che from a distance and called "come here" enthusiastically.

The other workers also looked over, and Liu Che strode over.

Gillian took Liu Che's hand enthusiastically, raised her head, and introduced to all the craftsmen: "This is a farmer over there. The man you introduced to me, do you think he is strong or not?"

An old farmer stood up and looked at Liu Che in surprise. After looking left and right for a moment, he turned to Gillian and said, "Xiao Nizi, little old man, I also know a little about fortune telling. Your man's appearance is simply expensive." It’s unspeakable!”

Hearing this, A-Jiao burst out laughing, and even Liu Che couldn't help a smile from the corner of his mouth.

"I...really?" Liu Che smiled gently: "So, I can still make a fortune in the future?"

"Little old man, I can't guarantee anything else, but judging by your appearance, it is certain that you will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Liu Che couldn't help but laugh: "Old man, I just came here to work. I don't know what the situation is like on the construction site here. Can you tell me in detail?"

Hearing this, the old man also laughed: "Come sit down and talk. It's time for lunch and we won't start work until half an hour..."
