What is the College of Agriculture?
You can guess a little by hearing the name. But what are Li Chengqian¡¯s specific thoughts? Su Mi didn't know.
She wanted to know and was about to ask Li Chengqian if Xiao Chen was back.
She asked:
"Your Highness, has Young Master Wang agreed? When will the contract be signed?"
After hearing this, Li Chengqian remembered that the Wang family was being cunning.
Originally, this kind of slippery head is just not bird. After all, the other party is stealing his own money by being cunning. But after he sent dragon fruit seeds, Li Chengqian reconsidered.
This time, let¡¯s just give him a favor.
Li Chengqian thought like this, then he should tell the queen about this and get her to agree.
But after Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he kept thinking about the dragon fruit.
I forgot to talk to the queen.
Now that he heard what Xiao Chen said, Li Chengqian remembered it, so he said something to Xiao Chen and Su Mi and ran outside.
When they arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, Li Chengqian told the queen what had happened. Of course, the queen was dissatisfied immediately.
She is the one who established the rules for ships at sea, and Wang Ji came out to break the rules. How could the queen tolerate such a person?
"Mother, I harvested one of his seeds. This time, please promise him first and sell him a favor!" Li Chengqian advised.
The queen rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian and said angrily: "You took bribes again!"
This sentence sounded like a question, but Li Chengqian heard the meaning of blame.
"Ah, you have wronged me!" Li Chengqian cried out. "I didn't collect money. I just collected the seeds when I saw that they were good things. And after they were planted, I also used them to benefit the people, so this favor cannot be called a bribe. It's just that he contributed the seeds, so it should be Give him a reward!¡±
The queen snorted, but she didn¡¯t believe Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation. However, as for the seed that Li Chengqian was talking about, he had mentioned it several times in a row. This seed seemed to be very important in Li Chengqian's eyes, so important that he didn't even need to pay thousands of dollars for boarding and returning to the ship.
"What kind of seeds are you talking about?" the queen asked curiously.
Hearing the queen ask this, Li Chengqian spoke excitedly.
He used all the beautiful words on dragon fruit. When the queen heard what happened, she didn't believe it anymore.
"Is there really such a thing as you said?"
Li Chengqian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"You have eaten?"
Li Chengqian nodded.
"" The queen's eyes changed.
Li Chengqian came to his senses, shook his head quickly, and said, "I am confused by your question. Of course I have never eaten it, but I know that this kind of thing must be very delicious, so I decided to plant it and take a look. , you will know after eating it!¡±
"Thousands of dollars. Is it worth it?" the queen asked.
Li Chengqian took out the yellow jade bowl from his arms, showed it to the queen, and said, "Mother, this is a jade bowl containing seeds. This jade bowl must cost several hundred guan. This can be worth it."
"In addition, the value of the dragon fruit after it is grown may be tens of thousands of times more than the thousands of guan."
"As for the boarding fee and the return fee, the Wang family divided it into two shares. We seem to have lost thousands of dollars. But if we don't agree with Wang Ji and only agree with the Wang family one share, then the Wang family will do it again. Invest 90,000 guan? I'm afraid it will cost 10,000 to 20,000 guan. In this way, the shipping fee will be reduced by 2,000 to 3,000 guan. So calculated this way, our loss is actually not that big."
"You've made a good deal!" The queen chuckled, and she agreed with Li Chengqian's explanation.
But she emphasized: "This time I'm giving him a favor, but I won't allow it in the future."
"Well, I understand. With the first sea-going ship back, everyone will know about the profits by then. If they want to be cunning again, it will be impossible." Li Chengqian said.
The queen was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's words and nodded.
The queen agreed, and Li Chengqian could give Wang Ji a message.
Next, both parties can send people to negotiate and sign a contract.
Li Chengqian¡¯s current mind is not on signing the contract, but on the planting of dragon fruit.
According to his previous idea, in order to grow dragon fruit, an agricultural college must be established. This is not something he can just say on his own, it must be approved by the court. And the most formalitiesThe quickest way is on the Queen's Road.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said to the queen with a hint of flattery in his voice:
"Mother, do you want to try what this dragon fruit tastes like?"
The queen asked strangely:
"Do you have any fruit?"
After finishing speaking, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
I just heard Li Chengqian say it was so good. It would be great if I could eat it now.
Li Chengqian said: "I have a way to grow dragon fruit!"
The queen couldn't help but be disappointed. It turned out that there was no ready-made fruit.
She asked without interest: "How to plant it?"
Li Chengqian replied with great interest: "This kind of dragon fruit needs to be planted in places with hot weather, so it needs to be grown in the south, so I am going to have people take the seeds and plant them in places like Lingnan."
"Then go and plant it."
"Well, I just have an idea. After the planting is successful, in one to three years, we will be able to eat things that can only be eaten in the outside world. Not to mention that we can satisfy our appetite, if this thing is sold, then Hehehehe" It goes without saying that there is a strong economic value in it. People in later generations like to eat the fruit. In the Tang Dynasty, which lacked delicious food, one dragon fruit could be sold for a pound of gold.
The Queen¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up after hearing these two meanings from her original lack of interest.
Seeing that the queen¡¯s interest had been raised, Li Chengqian put on a bitter look on his face and said:
"However, if our father and the die-hards in the court knew that we, mother and son, individually assigned people to grow dragon fruit in Lingnan in order to satisfy our own tastes and pockets, I'm afraid they would accuse us. !¡±
The queen was not worried at all and said:
"What does it have to do with them if we use our own money to plant it? You worry too much."
"That's not necessarily true. What about the talents for planting? You can't just pick up someone and plant with confidence. If you plant all the seeds but they don't sprout, wouldn't you be heartbroken?" Li Chengqian spread his hands, "We have to use Those who go to the Ministry of Industry are talented people.¡±
The queen took a look at him and said, "You come to me because you have your own plans, so tell me."
Li Chengqian smiled and immediately told his idea:
"Mother, look at me. I have no other abilities, but I care very much about the people of the world. Food is the most important thing for the people, so I got them three-season rice, and some that have just been planted and sprouted. Corn, and this dragon fruit. Clothing is the most important thing for the people, so I promoted cotton and planted cotton. In two years, the people around Chang'an will be able to wear cotton clothes and cover themselves with cotton quilts in the winter! You say, I What a good prince he is!"
As he was talking, he was so confused that he was praising himself!
The queen stretched out her hand and slapped Li Chengqian on the head!
"You should stop taking advantage of what old man Kong Yingda said in the morning about you moving here! Get to the point!"
Li Chengqian rubbed his head and said:
"Actually, it's like this. There are a lot of crops and things related to crops that I have produced. Three-crop rice, corn, cotton, curved shaft plow, water windmill so many things, can we just let them develop on their own? Or do you want me to manage them and continue to promote them for people all over the world? But here is something to consider. I don¡¯t have so much time and energy to manage them Uh, okay, actually I am also lazy. But no matter the time It¡¯s limited or I¡¯m lazy. I just have one sentence. It¡¯s not good to leave it to me alone. I should be a person who only comes up with ideas, but someone should help me with basic things, help me use it, help me promote it "
Li Chengqian stretched out his finger and said, "Let's talk about the spy academy. If I were to manage the idea I came up with, would I be able to handle it? No, I'm afraid I would make me lazy, so my father did a wise thing at that time. The decision was left to Uncle Li Xiaogong to take charge of. Now you can see that the spy academy is developing rapidly, and several surrounding countries have sent out seven or eight batches of graduated spies. I heard that the ninth batch of graduates will be sent out recently. .¡±
"As for the hospital, it was my idea, and then it was left to Maitreya Buddha, Lao Sun and the others to do it. After getting on the right track, it was left to Lao Sun and Azhen to do it. Now it's fine, everyone in the palace knows As long as you have any illness, go to the hospital for a checkup. Moreover, the palace has also established a set of medical insurance. The higher the official position, the more medical expenses can be reimbursed. "
"Let's talk about business, Xiao Chen"
"Okay, okay, you want to say, find someone to help you manage the three-season rice?" The queen was afraid that if Li Chengqian continued to talk, he would talk endlessly, so she gave up.Hand, asked.
Li Chengqian nodded, "Yes, I want the imperial court to establish an agricultural college for me, whether it is to promote three-season rice, cotton, or corn, but also to study how to grow these things better. And to look for better seeds in the world, and then come back after planting them Let the people all over the world plant it! And the planting is not only done in Chang'an, but also sends people to other parts of the Tang Dynasty to establish agricultural bases to see which crops are suitable for planting where, and the south is the first choice!"
Having said this, Li Chengqian showed a dirty smile and said, "At that time, we asked the people at the base in Lingnan to try to grow a kind of dragon fruit, which also served the people!"
"Haha" The queen laughed.
She felt funny about Li Chengqian's shameless statement.
"But if you do something practical for the world like this, it doesn't matter if you bring some private goods."
And she understood at this time that he came to her to talk about these things because he wanted to go through his back door and complete the procedures for the Agricultural College smoothly and quickly.
