"Lizhi, aren't you going to class today?"
Around eight o'clock in the morning, Su Chen came to the living room after washing up and saw Princess Changle just walking in from outside the living room.
"Today is Saturday!" Princess Changle laughed.
"Oh, Saturday!"
At this time, Luo Youfu brought a bowl of steaming Longkou vermicelli and three fried eggs.
Yesterday, all the sweet potatoes and potatoes had been harvested from the fields. What made Su Chen a little helpless was that the villagers didn't want too many sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Now all the sweet potatoes and potatoes are piled up in the big canteen of the manor, and there is no room for them anywhere else.
The villagers had the experience of harvesting in the first season. This time they only left enough to keep themselves from starving for half a year and for seeds for next year.
The rest all belonged to Su Chen. They don't have to pay taxes at present. The landlord of the manor was the emperor before.
Su Chen had never considered the issue of villagers paying taxes for farming. At the beginning, he verbally agreed with the villagers that he only wanted 10%.
These simple villagers all have a heart of gratitude.
They all knew that the former owner of the manor was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the current owner was the future prince consort. They also knew that the emperor and the owner of the manor were promoting the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
So they voluntarily gave those sweet potatoes and potatoes to Su Chen for use as seeds.
Moreover, they always believed that as long as their own family had enough to eat, the rest of the harvest should belong to the owner of the manor, Su Chen.
Finally, Su Chen asked someone to invite the village chief and some villagers to come.
Let the servants teach them how to make sweet potato flour and potato vermicelli, so that the villagers can have one more staple food, and they don’t have to rely on sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs.
Eating too much sweet potato will burn your heart!
"Li Zhi, have you had breakfast?" Su Chen found that Princess Changle had been staring at him eating, and asked casually.
"I have eaten, you eat!"
"Oh, what did you do just now?" Su Chen continued to eat vermicelli.
"I just sent someone to the palace to send a letter to my mother!" Princess Changle replied.
After swallowing the last mouthful of vermicelli, Su Chen looked at Princess Changle, "Is there something wrong?" He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
"Didn't you say that you needed a few palace maids!"
"Yes, yes, there is such a thing!" Su Chen nodded repeatedly and glanced at his watch.
Later, Su Chen will go to see the craftsmen making the arched frame of the greenhouse.
The construction plan was determined yesterday afternoon. According to the prediction of Li Dejian and other craftsmen, the two arched sheds will require at least one month of work.
It takes a long time to build the wooden frame of the shed, and the wood is peeled and roasted for carbonization.
Each shed is 25 feet wide and 70 feet long (about 150 square meters). The lowest part of the two sides of the shed is 5 feet high, and the highest part of the roof is 9 feet above the ground.
Fortunately, Su Chen is not in a hurry, and the vegetable seeds have not been found yet.
"Su Chen, are you busy?"
Princess Changle saw that Su Chen seemed a little absent-minded.
"Nothing, I was going to see... Old Wang, why are you here!"
While talking, Su Chen saw the old king walking in with a radiant face and a smile on his face.
"This old slave greets Su Hou, Princess!" When he came to Su Chen, the old king bowed respectfully.
Su Chen glanced at the square outside the living room, which was empty.
"Old Wang, what good news is coming so early? You look so smiling." Su Chen stood up and joked.
"Su Hou is really as good as a god, there is indeed good news!"
"The Western Regions delegation and the thousand cattle and sheep accompanying them will arrive at the palace before noon. His Majesty has specially ordered this old slave to invite Su Hou to enter the palace!"
The old king said it with enthusiasm, just like coaxing a child.
He was afraid that Su Chen would not go to the palace with him.
"So fast?"
Su Chen remembered that Atana said that it took thirty-five days to return to Chang'an from the Western Regions. With so many people and a thousand cattle and sheep in the Western Regions delegation, the journey must be much slower.
"Noon, then shall we go now?"
"Uh, Marquis Su, His Majesty has ordered all the princes and princesses to return to the palace together. The Western Regions delegation is visiting Chang'an, and the princes and princesses of the Western Regions are also accompanying them." The old king conveyed the emperor's intention.
This was also the first time that Li Shimin encountered a foreign envoy bringing his own princes and princesses to the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, he felt that it would be better to call Li Tai and Princess Changle back.
Su Chen nodded and shouted to the outside of the living room:
"Wang Chao, Ma Han, go and call Li Tai, Li You, Li Ke and others back!"
"Yes, Marquis!" Wang Chao and Ma Han immediately acted separately.
"Su Chen, I'll go and call Xiao Sizi and others!" Princess Changle got up and trotted to her residence.
Li Zhi, Li Shen and others were playing together.
"Fool, why don't you prepare the carriage! If you delay Marquis Su's important matter, we will peel your skin off!" The old king looked at Wang Xi and scolded with a smile.
"Oh my! I was so excited to see the butler coming here that I lost my composure in a hurry."
"I'll get ready right away!"
SuChen smiled, invited Lao Wang to sit down, and asked: "Lao Wang, have you had breakfast? Try a bowl of vermicelli?"
It shouldn't be that fast for them to call people.
"I dare not delay Su Hou's important event. I have already had breakfast!" Lao Wang bowed and declined.
"Are you being distant with me again, Lao Wang?"
Wang Defa immediately reacted, "Su Hou, we had already had breakfast when we left the palace."
"Then I will assume that you have had breakfast. Don't blame me if you are hungry!" Su Chen said with a smile.
... Ten minutes later, all the people who should return to the palace have arrived.
Li Tai and Li You looked reluctant, as if they were reluctant to return to the palace.
Li Ke was not much better. Today, they and the Xuanjia Army were practicing calculating the ignition time of the explosives so as to accurately control the explosives fired to explode on the ground.
The explosives used were fake explosives, filled with three pounds of yellow mud, and the fuse was real.
For distances over 30 steps, use air-to-air projection to control the landing point of explosives.
"Everyone is here, let's go!" Su Chen glanced at everyone present to confirm that no one was left out.
Before leaving, Su Chen felt as if he had forgotten something.
"Oh, I almost forgot something important!" He looked at Wang Xi and ordered: "Arrange people to go to the wasteland on the back and make a simple cattle and sheep pen. Just drive wooden stakes to form a circle."
"I want to bring some cattle and sheep back to the manor and make them stronger. The Western Region yaks should be very strong. Don't let them run away!"
"Yes! Don't worry, my lord, I'll take them and do it right away!" Wang Xi replied.
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the living room.
"Wang Chao, Ma Han, let's go!"
Xue Rengui did not go to the palace this time. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu trained with the Xuanjia Army.
Li Zhi and Li Shen drove karts and walked at the front of the team.
"Su Chen, what did you say you were going to do today?"
Su Chen, Princess Changle, Jin'er and Xiao Sizi were riding in a carriage. Even though Su Chen didn't have to worry about falling to death when riding a horse, he didn't want to ride a horse.
"I originally wanted to see Li Dejian and his team build a greenhouse.
Do you know what a greenhouse is?
It's a greenhouse that can grow green vegetables in winter."
Su Chen drew a half circle with his hands upwards and gestured.
"Oh, I heard you talk about greenhouses!" Princess Changle nodded, "When will it be built?"
"It shouldn't be that fast. It will take at least a month to see the effect."
Then, Su Chen explained the greenhouse construction process to Princess Changle.
