Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

"Hmph, my imperial study is not for anyone to borrow casually?" Li Shimin immediately followed with curiosity.

He cursed, but he didn't know who he was talking to.

"Atana, when are you going to leave?" When he arrived at the imperial study, Su Chen arranged the paper and pen and prepared to show his god-level painting skills.

"My Lord, if His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince allow, I can leave tomorrow!"

Atana bowed and replied.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian walked forward silently to watch Su Chen paint.

A painting was quickly finished.

"Atana, come and see if you have this kind of vegetable in Persia." Su Chen handed the painted carrot to Atana.

Su Chen remembered that carrot also had another name: carrot.

In ancient times, things with the word "Hu" were generally foreign products, just like the words with the word "Yang" in later generations.

But what surprised Su Chen was that carrots seemed to have been introduced into China in the Han Dynasty, but not in the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe it's out of date.

Atana took the painting carefully and looked at it carefully.

"My Lord, this... small one..."

Su Chen saw the expression on Atana's face and felt a chill in his heart.

There are no carrots in Persia.

Su Chen was not discouraged and continued to paint. There must be a Persian version of so many vegetables.

"Brother-in-law, wait a minute..." Li Chengqian suddenly stopped Su Chen from painting and pulled him aside with his back to Atana.

Atana was very smart and turned around and walked a few steps outside.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Su Chen looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled look.

"Brother-in-law, have you forgotten the card?" Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously and reminded him in a low voice.

Su Chen's eyes lit up and he slapped the back of his head fiercely.

"Yes, how could I forget it?"

Without saying a word, he took out a handful of special cards and arranged them neatly on the desk.

In an instant, Su Chen presented all the vegetables he had in mind on the cards one by one, and they looked like real vegetables.

There were a total of thirteen kinds of green leafy vegetables and five kinds of melons, fruits and root vegetables.

"Atana, come here and see if you have these vegetables in Persia?" Su Chen immediately called Atana to the desk.

"Okay, Lord!"

Atana came to the desk upon hearing the voice, and was not shocked at all when he saw the patterns on the cards.

He thought that Lord was an immortal, and everything he did was normal.

"Lord, this one has it. In Persia, we call it 'هویچ', which was first introduced to Persia from Tocharia (Afghanistan). "Atana pointed to the carrot and said.

Su Chen nodded and said, "That is called a carrot, and the name is on the back of the card."

"Okay, Lord, it will be called a carrot from now on." Atana bowed in response, and he didn't know Chinese characters very well.

Then, Atana picked up another card, "My Lord, this Persian grass is native to Persia."

"Well, that's called spinach!" Su Chen smiled slightly. He found that Atana didn't seem to know Chinese characters. "Atana, when you come back from Persia, you must study more. It will be difficult to survive in the Tang Dynasty if you don't know Chinese characters!"

"Okay, my Lord, when I bring my wife and children back from Persia, the whole family will learn to speak Chinese and practice Chinese characters."

In the end, of the vegetables on the 18 cards, only nine kinds of vegetables can Atana confirm to exist in Persia.

Su Chen can also understand that Persia is located in West Asia and may only have exchanges with Central Asia at this stage. Many species may come from South America and Australia, and have not yet spread to the Asian plate.

"Atana, you keep those nine cards. This time when you return to Persia, you must bring the seeds of those species back to the Tang Dynasty." Su Chen put away the other cards and solemnly reminded.

"Please rest assured, my Lord. I will definitely bring back the vegetable seeds on the card. There are also some special vegetables in Persia, and I will also bring them back to the Tang Dynasty!"

Atana bowed and made a promise.

"Okay! By the way, I will have someone send you the gold you brought back this time tomorrow morning. It seems to be more than 4,000 taels."

Su Chen remembered that Wang Xi reported to him that a total of more than 4,000 taels of gold were found in those cotton packages.

"Thank you, my Lord. I don't want to bring too much gold this time. Just prepare enough money for the journey. I have a request..."

Atana bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian. "I beg your Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Haha, do you want the Crown Prince to send guards to accompany you to Persia to protect the safety of your wife and children on the way?" Li Shimin asked with a chuckle.

Atana immediately bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty is wise! I came to the Tang Dynasty alone before, so I don't need to worry about my safety. But I am afraid that my wife and children will be..."

It must be said that Atana is very thoughtful.

How dare you mention it!

"No problem! The ten guards of the Eastern Palace who went to the Western Regions with you last time will go to Persia with you this time!" LiShimin immediately agreed to Atana's request on behalf of Li Chengqian.

"Atana, don't worry and return to Persia. The prince will keep all the gold."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Marquis!" Atana thanked them one by one.

Atana had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Thinking that he would be able to set off to Persia tomorrow to pick up his wife and children to the Tang Dynasty, he could no longer hold back his excitement.

"His Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Marquis, I will take my leave first!"

Thinking that there was nothing for him to do here, and that the Emperor and the Marquis might have something to talk about, he immediately left the imperial study.

After Atana left, Li Shimin looked at Su Chen, "Have you seen and eaten those vegetables?"

Su Chen nodded silently, "I've eaten them in my dreams!"

"Get lost!"

"Okay!" Su Chen ran out of the imperial study without saying a word. Princess Changle was still waiting outside!

"Half a year! Fortunately, the vegetable seeds have been found!"

When they arrived at the Suzaku Gate, Li Ke and the Princess of the Western Regions had returned from the Honglu Guesthouse.

"Let's go back to the manor!"

Su Chen was about to climb onto the carriage when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Well, the weather is good, I'll ride back!"

Princess Changle smiled slightly, knowing that Su Chen didn't like riding horses. "Alia, Jin'er, let's get on the car and go back to the manor!"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian stood at the gate of the Taiji Hall and watched Su Chen leave the palace.

Su Chen seemed to know that Li Shimin was watching him, and waved his right hand behind him.

Li Shimin smiled, "Great, let's go to the Lizheng Hall!"

"Okay, father!"

Half an hour later, Su Chen and others left the Mingde Gate and stepped onto Changle Avenue.

"Huh?"

Aguli looked at the endless cement road and immediately turned over and dismounted.

Squatting on the ground, just like Cheng Yaojin did, he first scratched it with his hands. Then he stood up and stomped his feet hard.

"Li You, how did you move such a huge stone? How can it be so flat?"

Aguli came to Li You's horse and pointed at the cement road and asked in surprise.

He also found that it was not a whole piece, because there was an expansion joint every four meters.

But even if it was only four meters, it was not small.

"Haha, you don't understand this! This road was newly created by my brother-in-law and built with special materials."

Li You was very sensible and didn't explain it too clearly.

Aguli seemed to understand and got on the horse, and walked at the end of the team with Li You.

"Master Immortal is really amazing!"
