"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Yanhuang Academy, Guanghua Tower. In a small meeting room, Li Zexuan clasped his hands and bowed to Li Er.
He had already guessed the purpose of Li Er's visit. It must be for the vegetables in the greenhouse. After all, there was such a big commotion in Chang 'an City today. As the ruler of the empire, it was impossible for Li Er not to have received any news.
"Ha! You have done so many things behind my back. Aren't you going to explain to me? "
Li Er walked in with his hands behind his back and sat on the sofa at the head of the table. He crossed his legs and looked at Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan stared blankly at first, then felt a chill run down his spine. From Li Er's tone, why did it feel like a resentful housewife complaining that he had an affair outside?
He quickly shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind. Li Zexuan went forward and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, are you talking about the farmers growing vegetables?"
Li Er grunted and said unhappily, "If not, what else could it be? You are asking the obvious again! "
Li Zexuan answered truthfully, "Your Majesty, this method of growing vegetables in winter was something that I came up with by chance. I saw that most of the farmers in my fief lived in poverty, so I imparted this method to them. However, I didn't expect that the farmers would be so tight-lipped and have kept the secret until now!"
Li Er thought to himself, You are not the only one who didn't think of it. I didn't think of it either!
"I have to say, the farmers in your fief are quite united! As for growing vegetables in the winter, tell me how you did it! "
Li Er looked at Li Zexuan and said calmly.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, there are two vegetable fields on Yunshan Mountain. Why don't you take a look at them personally?"
Li Er's eyes lit up. "Oh? That's great! Lead the way then! "
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will speak to Mr. Wen Ji and come immediately!"
…
"This is where you grow vegetables?"
Fifteen minutes later, Li Zexuan brought Li Er to the large shed in the backyard of his courtyard. Li Er looked at the two long sheds in front of him and asked with a frown.
Alas, Li Zexuan had never studied biology. Li Zexuan had no choice but to patiently explain, "Your Majesty, the reason why the Soup Supervisor can grow vegetables in the winter is mainly because of the warm and humid climate near the hot spring, which is suitable for the growth of vegetables. I used this kind of coarse cloth soaked in tung oil to 'build' these two houses in order to maintain the temperature and provide a suitable environment for the growth of vegetables. In this way, it is not difficult to grow vegetables in the winter!"
Li Er nodded in realization and said, "Oh, so that's how it is! More than a month ago, countless people poured into Chang 'an City and bought coarse cloth wantonly, causing the price of cloth in Chang' an City to soar. Presumably, this was the reason? "
Li Zexuan was not surprised that Li Er could think of this. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise! More than a month ago, the people did go to Chang 'an City to buy coarse cloth in order to build sheds! "
It was indeed so!
Li Er could not help but secretly rejoice at his own brilliant foresight. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Let's go! Follow me in to take a look! "
"Yes! Your Majesty! "
Li Zexuan did not have any objections. He stepped forward and helped Li Er open the door to the greenhouse. He extended his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
Li Er nodded his head and walked in.
Inside the greenhouse, when Li Er saw the tender green vegetables in the field, the shock on his face could no longer be concealed. After taking two steps, he suddenly felt a little thirsty and wanted to pick a cucumber to quench his thirst. But when he walked into the cucumber vine and saw the bare cucumber sprouts, his head was filled with question marks. "Marquis Yong 'an, did your house get burglarized recently?"
When Li Zexuan heard this, he was a little confused. But when he followed Li Er's gaze and looked at the cucumber vine, he suddenly understood and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, it was not burglarized. It was just that the cucumbers on the seedlings were all plucked yesterday!"
Then, he explained to Li Er in a few words.
Yesterday, during Yanhuang College's first teacher title evaluation conference, Li Zexuan treated each teacher of the college to a cucumber. Although one cucumber per person did not seem like much, there were many teachers in the college! In the blink of an eye, forty to fifty catties of cucumbers were gone just like that. His greenhouse was only so big. It would be strange if the cucumber vine was not bare!
"Teacher title evaluation conference?"
When Li Er heard this, his eyes flashed and he said lightly, "Tell me the results of the evaluation in detail!"
"Your Majesty, there were a total of six people who were evaluated as professors yesterday. They were respectively …"
As they walked out of the greenhouse, Li Zexuan explained the academy's teacher title evaluation conference in detail to Li Er. After listening, Li Er nodded his head and said, "Your teacher title evaluation conference was very interesting. You can continue to stay in the college in the future! Just as you said before, I also hope that Yanhuang College can truly become a place where only talents are valued. Only then can the college become a college that benefits the country and the people! "
Li Zexuan nodded his head and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as I am here, I will definitely not let the college become a place for flattery. Establishing a heart for the world and establishing a life for the people is the foundation of Yanhuang College's existence!"
"Haha! I still believe in your words! "
Li Er laughed lightly and turned around to look at the greenhouse behind him. Then, he said thoughtfully, "Marquis Yong 'an, this method of growing vegetables in winter, can it be promoted to benefit more people?"
Different people, in different positions, would naturally think of different problems!
As the "King" of Lantian County, Li Zexuan usually thought of the people in his fief. As for Li Er, as the Emperor of the Tang Empire, he naturally thought of the people of the world!
Now that the price of vegetables in Chang 'an was comparable to gold, Li Er felt that this method could be used to let the people of the Tang Empire live a good life. When that time came, the Tang Empire would be rich and the people would be strong.
Li Zexuan frowned and thought for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is not that I am stingy, but even if this method is promoted, it will not benefit all the people in the world! As the saying goes, the rarer something is, the more precious it is. Your Majesty, although the price of vegetables in Chang 'an is very expensive now, it is only temporary. As more and more people know how to grow vegetables in winter, the price of vegetables will definitely drop greatly. When that time comes, those farmers who grow vegetables in winter will not only not be able to earn as much money as they do now, but also have the risk of losing money when the weather is very cold! "
The reason was very simple. The modern people clearly knew that vegetables in the greenhouse in winter were more expensive than in summer. Why didn't they all grow vegetables in the greenhouse? It was only because there were more people, and the profits were less!
