Datang romantic little landlord

Even for Li Wangyou, the beautiful boss thought it was a great waste to take a few potatoes to roast and cook directly.

However, it is necessary to let Li Er and the others see the edible value of potatoes intuitively.Li Wangyou could only endure the pain in his heart, carefully selected four smaller potatoes, and asked them to cook them.

In the reception room of the Li Mansion, Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others were drinking tea, anxiously waiting for Li Wangyou to present the potatoes.

Even though Li Wangyou repeatedly assured that those potatoes were edible, not only delicious but also filling, but they didn't witness or taste it with their own eyes, but everyone still didn't believe it.

After waiting, I finally saw Li Wangyou walking in with a tray carefully.

"Hey, uncle, gentlemen, please wait. The dishes made of potatoes are still being cooked, and it will take some time. But my nephew ordered someone to bake a few potatoes, and they can be eaten directly. Uncle and Lords, you can first see how the potatoes taste."

In the tray, there were only four potatoes the size of eggs.Li Er and the others could naturally see that these were the potatoes dug out of the soil before, but they were just cleaned and then roasted and boiled.

"Ziyou, it's so easy to eat these potatoes? Just throw them in a pot and cook them?" Li Er still didn't believe it. After all, no matter whether it's rice or wheat, it's not so easy to eat.

"Hey, it's natural. Uncle will know it once he tastes it. Of course, potatoes taste better when used to make dishes. These potatoes are really good things. Not only can they be eaten directly as food, but they can also be used for cooking. They are very delicious."

Cheng Yaojin yelled in dissatisfaction: "Ziyou, how can you be stingy? Just these four potatoes, how can you eat enough? Isn't this stuffed between the teeth?"

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes: "Uncle Cheng, my nephew still feels sorry for just these four. Do you know that if these potatoes are saved for seeds, these four potatoes can become seventy or eighty. If it weren't for Let the uncles believe that these potatoes are really edible food, and my nephew can't even bear these four."

Li Er smiled and said: "Ziyou is right, these potatoes are very precious now, if they can be used as food, I will be guilty of waiting today."

Fang Xuanling looked at the four potatoes and asked curiously, "Ziyou, how do you cook these potatoes?"

Li Wangyou said: "Fang Gong, this is not cooking, it is simply roasted and boiled. These two were directly roasted in the firewood, and these two were boiled in water. They can be eaten directly, which is very simple.”

He pointed to a small pinch of salt in the tray: "Uncle, you can dip the potatoes in some salt, it will be more delicious."

After Li Wangyou explained, he picked up a knife, cut the four potatoes, divided them into several small pieces, and asked Li Er and the others to taste them.

When Fang Xuanling and the others were still looking carefully at the cut potatoes, they saw Cheng Yaojin impatiently grabbed a piece of potato and threw it into his mouth.

The old man chewed it a few times, but his eyes lit up: "Sweet! These potatoes are soft and fragrant, very delicious!"

When Li Er and the others heard this, they didn't bother to continue their research. They each stretched out their chopsticks to pick up a piece of potato, chewed and tasted it carefully.

"Yes, these potatoes really taste good, very delicious."

"Soft, smooth, without any peculiar smell. Your Majesty, this thing is really edible, and it is very delicious!"

Fang Xuanling sighed again: "I never thought that the skin of these potatoes can be eaten, there is no waste at all."

Li Wangyou secretly laughed in his heart, he deliberately didn't peel the potatoes, and including Li Er, the officials of the Tang Dynasty all ate them with the skins.

Of course, potato skins are not inedible, but the taste is slightly worse.

Du Ruhui suddenly stood up, and bowed deeply to Li Er: "Your Majesty, it's really amazing. If these potatoes can really produce twenty stones per mu, what a grand event it will be? There will be no more food worries in the Tang Dynasty, and no more common people." Hungry! I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin naturally got up immediately and bowed to Li Erhe.

Li Er also laughed happily: "Haha, dear friends, please hurry up. Speaking of it, it's all thanks to Ziyou! I never imagined that there is actually twenty shi of grain per mu in this world. Ziyou , tell me, how should I reward you?"

Cheng Yaojin also laughed and said: "Your Majesty, Ziyou has made many contributions. If you ask me, old Cheng, to make him a Duke is not an exaggeration! Mr. Fang and Mr. Du, are you right?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui naturally laughed and nodded, expressing their agreement with Cheng Yaojin's words.In fact, it is not too much for the young man in front of him to be the founder of the country.

Li Er nodded slightly: "You guys are right. I said before that I want Ziyou to be rewarded. Now that Ziyou is offering crops like potatoes, it is only natural that he should be granted the title of Duke."

Li Wangyou is sweating all over the place, a prince named Mao?

If Li Er really wanted to make him a Duke, how would he marry a beautiful boss?

When Empress Changsun wanted to marry him, but after she was put off, Li Wangyou realized that before marrying a beautiful boss into his house, his title is too high, which is definitely not a good thing.

If he just took a concubine, no one would gossip, but if he wanted to marry a beautiful boss, it would be really troublesome.

He is already very satisfied with the founding uncle of the country. If Li Er wants to confer the title of duke of his country now, I am afraid that Li Wangyou will really have to cry.

"Uncle, my nephew is young now, don't confer any title on my nephew anymore." Li Wangyou quickly evaded and said, "If uncle must grant a reward, why don't you confer some land on my nephew."

682 Chicken is not meat

Li Wangyou was not interested in how many fields he owned at first. After all, compared with the industries he created, the output in the fields is really not worth mentioning, it is pitifully small.

Moreover, farming requires hiring a large number of tenants, which is even troublesome.

The hundreds of officials in the Tang Dynasty, and even the bureaucratic gentry for thousands of years in later generations all set the goal of owning more acres of land, but in fact these people had no other ways to make money.

Ever since the Li family became an honorable man of the Tang Dynasty, and the amount of gold and copper coins in the treasury was almost too much to pile up, the old housekeeper Li Heng has been urging Li Wangyou to buy land.

In the old man's opinion, it would be best for Li Wangyou to buy all the fields in Hu County and Guanzhong Road.

Neither Li Wangyou nor Su Changqing had any interest in this.

The output of a thousand acres of land in a year may not be as much as that of a winery in a day.When they are full, they will buy land.

But at this time and at that time, the reason why Li Wangyou asked Li Er for the land was because he had other plans in mind.

What Li Wangyou said made Li Er very surprised: "Ziyou, have you thought about it clearly, do you really only want some land as a reward?"

"Yes, Uncle, for the land in Hu County, Uncle can reward my nephew with any land." Li Wangyou said with a smile.

Li Er turned his questioning eyes to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, wanting to see what they had to say.

Du Ruhui pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, since Ziyou said so, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, Ziyou is young, and it is not a good thing to rashly confer the title of duke at the age of seventeen. If not, just follow what Ziyou said, and in the In this Hu County, he was given ten thousand mu of land as compensation."

"Your Majesty, Keming's words are justified. The minister and Li Gong, the master of Ziyou's family, are also close friends. With Li Gong's cautious temperament, maybe he doesn't want his son to be named Duke at such a young age. Why don't your majesty just stick to it?" At Ziyou's request, give him ten thousand mu of land."

Seeing Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's persuasion, Li Er could only shake his head regretfully: "Okay, since Fang Gong and Du Gong both said so, then so be it. Ziyou, I will give you ten thousand mu of fertile land , as a reward."

Li Wangyou laughed again and said, "Uncle, we don't need fertile land, we don't need fertile land. Why don't you just give my nephew the land on both sides of the Gan River next to Dingzhou Village?"

Li Er was even more surprised when he heard this: "Ziyou, what's your plan?"

"Hey, Uncle, it's really nothing. It's just that my nephew sees the beautiful surroundings around Dingzhou Village, and plans to build some houses here and sell them to the princes in Chang'an City to make some money."

What Li Wangyou said, Li Er, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other speechlessly.

What the hell is this kid doing?Still out of my mind?

Dingzhou Village is located at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the Gan River flows through it. The environment is really good.But after all, this place is hundreds of miles away from Chang'an City, whether it is close or not.But as he said, how could it be possible to sell a house to hundreds of officials and dignitaries?

What's more, even if someone buys it as a vacation home, what benefits can there be in it?

After all, Tang Dynasty did not have such an industry as real estate. Neither Li Er nor Fang Xuanling nor Du Ruhui thought there would be any profit from selling the house.

Li Wangyou also didn't explain, this kind of thing, it's better to make a fortune in silence, who would be so stupid to shout around?
