Tang's dining table

When Li Hong came out of the study, Crown Princess Pei Wanying was already waiting at the door. Li Hong smiled and took Pei Wanying's hand and said, "You don't have to be like this."

Pei Wanying smiled slightly, hugged Li Hong's hand with her other hand and said: "Yesterday, my mother came to the palace to say hello. She was worried that I was not doing well.

I told her that she was doing well and that the prince was a very gentle person. "

Li Hong took his hands out of Pei Wanying's hands and said, "Enjoy the power of your Crown Princess. This is what I promised you."

Pei Wanying smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is convening a gathering of the palace people in Shangyang Palace today. It is said that she is going to select some good-looking palace people and reward them to the meritorious ministers of the Tang Dynasty. If there is anyone you like, your Highness, you can tell me in advance. I will be arranged by His Highness."

Li Hong frowned slightly and said: "It is better for the population in the East Palace to be simpler. A variety of crops are cultivated here. It is not good for more people to come in."

Pei Wanying said: "You still think about Naha?"

Li Hong nodded and said, "It's not that you're bad, it's that girl who got in here first."

Pei Wanying said calmly: "Linaha returned to the Western Region yesterday. I heard that Marquis Lantian prepared a thousand camels for Naha. I heard it was a dowry.

I don’t know who Marquis Lantian married his sister to. "

Li Hong smiled calmly and said: "Of course you married me."

"The groom is missing."

"You don't need to see the groom, the groom is in Naha's heart."

Pei Wanying bit her lips and said, "I also heard that the two eunuchs who were in charge of jade certificates and golden books accompanying Naha were expelled by the Marquis of Lantian."

Li Hong seemed to have known the news for a long time. He looked at Pei Wanying calmly and said: "What many people dream of is worthless in the eyes of another group of people."

"If they don't like it, why are they still fighting with me?" Pei Wanying's voice became louder.

Li Hong smiled, raised his hand and touched Pei Wanying's green face and said: "She is not competing with you for the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, she just wants a young man named Li Hong.

In addition, don't go to the Western Region to cause trouble for Naha. You also know that the guy named Li Hong is an extremely protective person. "

After saying that, Li Hong fluttered his sleeves and left, leaving Pei Wanying, who was shaking all over and looking ashen-faced, in the corridor.

The rapeseed flowers outside the corridor are in full bloom. This is the second crop of rapeseed this year. Although the rapeseed packets on the rapeseed are still small, they can already tell the appearance of a good harvest. If these rapeseeds can be harvested in September It matured months ago, and Li Hong was ready to spread this thing in Luoyang.

Nowadays, there are many rich people in Luoyang City, and people's demand for oil has become much stronger. The income from growing rapeseed and pressing oil should be higher than growing wheat.

Li Hong has been pretending that he does not exist after his wedding. After all, the reputation of a prince who escaped from marriage is not very good. Even if he beats Li Xian, can he still beat everyone who said bad things about him? What's more, there are some people he can't beat.

The positioning of Luoyang Donggong is the same as that of Chang'an Donggong, which is a vegetable market. Since it is a vegetable market, anyone can enter the Donggong to grow vegetables.

Therefore, after Li Hong left the back house of the East Palace, he saw a huge crowd in front of him.

For the people of Luoyang, buying vegetables is a matter of course. Although the green peppers, beans, cabbages, onions, cabbages, and beets here are very famous, for them, being able to enter the gate of the East Palace guarded by Prince Liu is the most important thing. the most important.

Since ancient times, the royal palace has been a forbidden area, and people are not allowed to come and go at will. But it is different now. In the East Palace of the Prince, anyone can come and go at will as long as they carry a vegetable basket.

The scenery in the East Palace is naturally excellent, especially in the Baihua Tower where the prince wanted to please the enchantress Yun Na, where the flowers were in full bloom.

Everyone who has visited Baihua Tower is trying to activate their brains, wondering how beautiful the witch Yun Na is, who can confuse the most virtuous prince of the Tang Dynasty and make him escape from marriage.

The prince Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty was well-known for his wisdom before he escaped from marriage. This prince liked to read, was humble and kind-hearted. In order to put more food on the plates of the people of the Tang Dynasty, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and served the people all over the world. They searched for good seeds, and even turned their beautiful East Palace into vegetable fields...

Just when people thought that this virtuous prince would continue to be virtuous forever and finally sit in the highest position of the Tang Dynasty as a saint, people were shocked to find that the prince who they thought was a virtuous and virtuous prince actually ran away from his marriage.

This is the first time His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty has made a big mistake...

Naturally, the prince was criticized verbally and writtenly in the court. It was rude to impeach the prince, and there were piles of insignificant memorials.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even criticized by the censor who was frothing at the court, and criticized him for nothing.

Li Hong did not defend his behavior. He stood alone in the court and was criticized for three whole days.

It wasn't until Yun Na left and Li Hong rejoined his wedding ceremony with a smile on his face that the voices criticizing the prince in the court gradually subsided.

However, there are also many people who secretly sympathize with His Highness the Crown Prince. Especially after learning that he and Yun Na were childhood sweethearts, they are full of sympathy for this unkind prince.

In contrast, Pei's daughter Pei Wanying appears to be extremely strong, breaking up the love between the prince and his childhood sweetheart, and inserting herself into it...

Of course, most of the people who think this way are young women. They romantically believe that if they appear more often in the East Palace, they might meet the infatuated prince, and then expel the Pei daughter from the East Palace.

Li Hong clasped his hands behind his back and, surrounded by guards, walked along the corridor and looked around. Everyone in the world knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values ​​agriculture and mulberry trees. Therefore, anyone who searches for new varieties and new vegetables will be sent to the East Palace. Try your luck.

Therefore, in the corridor to the left of the East Palace gate, there is a mile-long vegetable and grain market.

The eunuchs who manage the market in the East Palace sort out new things every day and leave them for the prince to check.

In the East Palace, the highest-ranking person is the doctor of agriculture. It is the daily official duties of these doctors of agriculture to search for and inspect new varieties and new vegetables every day.

"Your Highness, these are tung tree seeds, which are generally used to press tung oil. They are found in the Dabie Mountains in the Central Plains. The tung tree seeds your Highness saw are produced in the Dabie Mountains. However, the best tung oil is produced in Nanzhao. Tung oil is the first, Shuzhong is the second, and Dabie Mountain is the second.

This thing has many uses and was not a rare thing originally. However, in recent years, with the proliferation of workshops in Guanzhong and Chang'an, the demand for this thing has increased more than tenfold.

The lower official suggested that His Highness select some uninhabited mountainous areas in the Dabie Mountains to plant tung trees specifically. This did not require artificial labor. After being abandoned for ten years, His Highness obtained a stable supply of tung oil. "

After Li Hong carefully looked at the tung oil seeds, he said: "Then I will send the prince sect and the governors of Shenzhou and Guangzhou to assist the East Palace and plant tung trees widely in the Dabie Mountains. I will look forward to the ten years you mentioned." After that, tung oil was abundantly produced.”

The doctor of agriculture accepted the prince's order with a smile. For a doctor of agriculture like him, there is no better job than actually being responsible for the practical affairs of a place.

Ever since Lou Shide achieved great success in farming in Longyou, he has been very interested in farming. Whenever he had a little money, he invested it in the production of materials.

So far, very few of the officials in his East Palace can stay with him. Basically, he has sent them all to various parts of the Tang Dynasty to cultivate various fields, herd cattle, or dig coal, smelt iron, mine copper, and pan for gold.

Just like Yunchu told him, being rich does not necessarily mean having money. Only those who have materials are the real rich people.

Moreover, Lou Shide vowed to tell the prince that within ten years, the East Palace would be completely free of poverty and become extremely wealthy.

As for the output of the fiefdom, to be honest, Lou Shide looked down upon it and suggested that the Crown Prince also focus on farming, grazing, and mining.

Because the income of His Royal Highness the Prince's fief is closely related to the lives of the local people. If the exploitation is too much, the people will complain. If he takes corvee lightly and pays little tax, it will make him and the royal family look bad. The royal family developed a great hatred for him.

It would be better to let the queen continue to help him manage the fiefdom as before. No matter whether it is good or bad, no one will be able to blame him for holding his head high.

Li Hong's fiefdom is in Daizhou. Daizhou itself is not a wealthy place. This place is more important to prevent Turks.

Although today's Turks have been tortured by the Tang Dynasty's border troops, Daizhou's military attributes are still far higher than its economic attributes.

Therefore, there are many military households in Daizhou, which is why the prince Li Hong has been reluctant to take back the management rights of Daizhou from the queen.

However, Li Hong did not give in blindly. Among the six Zhechong Prefectures under Daizhou, three of the Zhechong Prefecture captains came from Li Hong's Prince Liu Li.

The most important school captain of Fanzhou Zhechong Prefecture was Liang Jianfang's grandson Liang Ying.

All Li Hong's arrangements are facing the situation ten years from now.

So far, he doesn't want to have any conflicts with his father and mother. He always feels that time is on his side.

After returning from the Donggong Market, Li Hong put several novel crops on the table. It's not clear what the uses of these things are yet. Li Hong wanted to send these things to Yun Chu and asked Yun Chu to see if they were important. crops that can be promoted.

When he came back, the Crown Princess had already gone to Shangyang Palace to participate in the selection of palace servants organized by her mother. This was nothing new. Every year, many beautiful women came into Yeting Palace, some of them were the daughters of prisoners, and more of them came from various prefectures. The beauty presented by the county.

Just when the prince was wondering where Naha had gone, the eunuch Chunping came to report that Duke Zhou, the prince's guest, and He Lanmin, who was pro-Tibetan, wanted to see him. "

Li Hong frowned, thought about it, and decided not to see him, because his master once said that this person was unknown.

Since he is no longer an auspicious person, I don’t want to see him anymore, and I can’t help but stay away from him.

As for what he wanted to do with him, Li Hong was not even interested in hearing about it. A shameless person who was willing to kiss Tubo as a man would pollute his ears even if he had excellent suggestions.

After Helan Minzhi, who had been waiting respectfully in the East Palace for a long time, learned that the prince had no time to see him, he said to the guards with a gloomy face: "Let's go to Prince Lu Li Xian's mansion."

Xue Changfeng was eating noodles from a boss's rice bowl, and he was eating very happily.

Mrs. Qian put one foot on the stool and said viciously: "Why didn't you avoid it just now?"

Xue Changfeng took a bite of the garlic clove and ate a big mouthful of noodles. After swallowing it, he chuckled and said: "When I was a savage among the savages, you were not willing to chase me, and you are even less willing to kill me now."

"You rebelled without any reason and deserve death."

"As I said, I was fishing on the beach, but I was blown far away by the wind and waves. I was among the people in distress and could not come back."

"Do you have such distrust in us and the Lord?"

Xue Changfeng said: "I used to trust you very much, but I didn't trust the so-called Lord. Now that I'm back, I find that the Lord can still be trusted.

Now, I accidentally met Helan Minzhi. Although I pretended to be a savage may have confused him for a while, I think he should have woken up by now.

It doesn't matter that I was caught by him, but it would be bad if I ruined the master's plan many years ago. "

"You are the smartest among us. What are you going to do?"

Xue Changfeng smiled and said: "I am the Savage King now, a Savage King who wants to participate in the emperor's conferment on Mount Tai, not Xue Changfeng."

"Didn't you say that He Lan Minzhi recognized you?"

Xue Changfeng waved his hand and said, "That's not important. What's important is that you should tell us your purpose of hiding in Luoyang, right?"
