Cloud Mountain.
After listening to Li Zexuan's analysis, Li Er felt that it made sense. However, it was because it made sense that he felt disappointed. "Sigh! What a pity! "
After a moment of silence, Li Er sighed regretfully.
Li Zexuan understood what Li Er was thinking. He was disappointed that the greenhouse vegetables could not benefit all the people in the world. He went forward and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, actually, if you think about it from another angle, there's nothing to be regretful about! In the future, this method of growing vegetables using cloth sheds will definitely be widely spread. When winter comes, ordinary people can also afford to eat fresh vegetables. Doesn't this also mean that the Tang Empire is getting stronger?
Furthermore, I only said that the people who start growing vegetables in greenhouses will not be able to earn as much as they do now. However, overall, they will still be able to earn. Every winter, there will be many empty fields among the people. The people can use them to grow vegetables and more or less subsidize their families, right? Therefore, on the whole, this thing can still be of benefit to many hundreds of people! "
Li Er thought carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. He could not help but feel happy again. "From what you're saying, you still intend to spread this method of growing vegetables in winter in the future?"
Li Zexuan smiled. "Your Majesty, actually, even if I don't say it, this method of growing vegetables will slowly spread out. There's no secret in this world that can be kept forever!"
Now, his farmers had sold a huge amount of vegetables in Chang 'an City and caused a huge sensation. Naturally, more and more people would be attracted. It would definitely be more and more difficult to keep a secret in the future.
In fact, according to Li Zexuan's intentions, it would be fine as long as his farmers could earn the first huge amount of profit from the 'birth' of the greenhouse vegetables. He could even give the rest of the profits to the farmers of other farms. This was like eating fish. His people only needed to eat the head of the fish and leave the body and tail for others to eat.
"Haha! You're quite open-minded! "
Li Er didn't expect Li Zexuan to be so open-minded. When he came, he was still thinking about how to persuade Li Zexuan to hand over the method of growing vegetables in winter. He didn't expect that Li Zexuan had already thought of this without his persuasion. He couldn't help but point at Li Zexuan and sigh.
"Your Majesty, this subject is deeply indebted to the country, so it is only natural for this subject to do something for the people of the Great Tang!"
After Li Zexuan expressed his political position, he took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I plan to build a dam beside the Ba River in Mei Village to accumulate water from upstream! Please allow it, Your Majesty! "
Now that the entire Lantian County was his fief, this section of the Ba River was naturally under his control. In principle, there was no need to report to the court about the construction of the dam. He only needed to give Li Er a heads-up.
"Hmm? Building a dam? Why are you building a dam? "
Li Er was confused by Li Zexuan's words and couldn't help but ask.
Li Zexuan was already prepared. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this subject is building a dam to prepare for a rainy day. Previously, this subject told Your Majesty that in June this year, locusts will appear all over Guanzhong. As the saying goes, a drought and locusts are inseparable. After a drought, there will be locusts. Thus, this subject estimates that this year's drought will also be very serious. This subject wants to build a dam to accumulate water in advance for a rainy day. "
Li Er frowned. Previously, he had been thinking about how to prevent a plague of locusts but had forgotten that after a drought, there would be locusts. After Li Zexuan's reminder, his mood instantly became gloomy again.
"It's hard for you to be so meticulous. If there really is a drought this year, then I should make preparations in advance. However, will the dam you're building on the Ba River really work? Not to mention other places, just Lantian County alone has millions of mu of fertile land. How much water do you need to accumulate to ensure that all the fields can be watered by a mere Ba River? "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is right. A single Ba River is indeed unable to solve the drought in all of Lantian County. However, this is the only method I can think of. I can only do it first and talk later! This subject still believes that nothing in the world is difficult. If one has the will, there will definitely be other methods before the drought arrives!
Furthermore, other than building a dam to fight a drought, this subject also plans to build something on the dam and use this thing to create something new that the Tang Empire has never seen before. If it succeeds, the impact on the Tang Empire will be unprecedented! "
Li Er raised his eyebrows in surprise. Something that Li Zexuan was so serious about was definitely not ordinary. He asked, "What new thing is it?"
Li Zexuan smiled mysteriously and said, "It's electricity!"
You are electricity, you are light, you are the only legend … * cough cough * For some reason, Li Zexuan suddenly thought of a song from his previous life.
"Electricity?"
The surprise on Li Er's face grew. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "The telegraph machine you built previously, did it use electricity to send messages ~?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise! The telegraph machine needs electricity to work properly! Actually, there is electricity in this world, but that kind of electricity is too powerful and it is difficult for mortals to use it! "
Li Er was not a stupid person. On the contrary, he was very smart. Hearing Li Zexuan's words, he instantly thought of something and asked, "Are you talking about thunder and lightning?"
Li Zexuan nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, it is indeed thunder and lightning! In fact, the electricity that this subject created is the same thing as thunder and lightning. However, compared to thunder and lightning, its power is much weaker. However, it is just right for our daily use! In the future, if we want to popularize the telegraph machine on a large scale, we must have an endless supply of electricity to support it. That is why this subject said that as long as we can create a machine that can generate electricity, it will definitely have an unprecedented impact on our Tang Empire! "
Li Er's gaze became deep. Now, it seemed that the dam on the Ba River must be built. He said decisively, "Since this dam is so important, then build it! And build it immediately! Build it as big as you can! I really want to see what the Tang Empire will look like with electricity! "
Li Zexuan heard this and was delighted. He rubbed his hands and laughed, "Hehe, thank you, Your Majesty! Then … Your Majesty, the money for the dam, what do you think … "
This guy wants money …
"Cough cough! I suddenly remembered that there are still important matters in the palace. You should build the dam as soon as possible. I will return to the palace first! "
Li Er's expression changed. He hurriedly waved his hand at Li Zexuan and then turned to leave without looking back. Seeing this, Li Zexuan was stunned.
"F * ck … F * ck! You are really a miser. You are so stingy! "
Li Zexuan only regained his senses after Li Er had walked away. He was dumbfounded.
