Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 363 Recommended Inhumans

Pulling out the D is ruthless, and men can do it to men.

Li Qinzai was an eye-opener.

King Teng walked out of the room swinging his wide robe sleeves, his walking posture was like a big rooster looking forward to becoming a male, his arrogant and playful temperament was vividly displayed by him, and he did not look like he was pleading cautiously in front of him just now.

Li Qinzai laughed, he's really a villain, but he can be regarded as having a true temperament.

Dealing with such a person is at least not tiring, and of course, don't expect him to help you when you are in danger.

The relationship of pure mutual use is very good.

Sitting alone in the room, Li Qinzai's expression gradually became serious.

Some things, the original intention of doing it is actually very simple, but then it becomes bigger and bigger for some reason.

For example, Li Qinzai invented cement. Li Qinzai's original intention was to allow farmers to build durable ditches, a project that would benefit the people and ensure that they would last for a hundred years, nothing more.

However, when something that does not belong to this world appears, things are different.

So Li Zhi knew about cement and paid attention to it, and the construction of roads, bridges and cities came into being.

When a simple thing becomes complicated, troubles follow.

For such a huge and long-term project, its completion even requires the efforts of two or three generations of monarchs and ministers, as well as the payment of money and food from the treasury year after year. How could no one object to such a huge price?

Li Zhi and Empress Wu are leaving Zhuangzi.

It is impossible for the Tian family couple to stay in the village for vacation every day. There are piles of memorials waiting for their review every day, and Li Zhi dare not be idle for too long.

Early in the morning, Habayashi Wei and the eunuch prepared their chariots and horses, and Li Qinzai took his wife and children out of the village.

King Teng followed the imperial chariot obediently, the gray carriage was like a mouse running between a cat's crotch.

The couple of the Tian family were about to board the imperial chariot, and King Teng was also in a hurry, and kept winking at Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai received it.

"Don't worry, Jingchu. After I returned to Chang'an, I called the courtiers to discuss it." Li Zhi frowned, and said, "Things may not go well, after all, this is a matter that consumes the country's capital and will not see any benefits in three to five years. , the national treasury is not rich, and there must be many people who oppose it among the courtiers."

Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty has been troubled. The pros and cons of this matter have been clearly explained by the minister. It will definitely be difficult in the short term, but if things come to fruition, Datang will definitely benefit a lot."

Li Zhi nodded, and said again: "I have discussed with the queen for a long time about the map you drew, and decided to give it a try."

"I plan to build a deep port in Quanzhou and build a large ship suitable for long-distance voyages. The construction can start within this year. In the past two years, I will build a fleet and sail to the depths of the sea according to the map you drew. If you can find new land, And high-yielding crop species, Datang can protect the country from instability for hundreds of years."

Li Qinzai said again: "Your Majesty, not only are you going to sea, I also suggest that you issue an edict to collect seeds of various crops from Hu merchants traveling from south to north, not limited to grain crops, melons, fruits, trees, and spices that were not available in the Tang Dynasty. Flowers, etc., we all want."

"If Hu merchants can offer the seeds of new crops, the imperial court will reward them heavily, and even give them an official position without real power. This can greatly increase the chances of discovering new crops. For Datang, the urgent need to solve is the food and clothing of the people. High-yielding food crops are fundamental."

Li Zhi and Empress Wu's eyes lit up, and they nodded together.

"That's right, why didn't I think of it? I accept this remonstrance, and I will issue an edict when I return to Chang'an. There are so many Hu merchants in Chang'an City, even if one in a thousand Hu merchants can offer new seeds, there may be a big surprise, haha. "

Empress Wu also nodded solemnly and said with a solemn smile: "Jing Chu is smart and always has a way to solve all troubles. He is worthy of being an outstanding talent in the world."

Not far behind, King Teng coughed suddenly.

Li Qinzai continued without changing his expression: "Your Majesty, I have another suggestion regarding road construction. If Your Majesty is determined to carry out this policy, I suggest that His Royal Highness King Teng supervise this matter."

Li Zhi was very surprised: "Uncle Teng? Why did you let him supervise."

Li Qinzai said sternly: "His Royal Highness Prince Teng is impartial, fair and strict, well-educated, upright and upright, he is the perfect candidate to supervise the project."

Not only Empress Li Zhiwu, but even King Teng who was not far behind was shocked.

How could I be so good without knowing it?What kind of self-cultivation is this!
The head of Jinxiang County next to King Teng looked embarrassed. She was obviously praising her old father, but she felt ashamed.

No one knows better than her the virtues of her own father. This shameless person really doesn't need any shame to brag about it.

There was silence around, and for a long time, King Teng couldn't help covering his face, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or shyness.

"Pass, Li County Uncle, pass!" Teng Wang said with embarrassment.

Li Zhi was even more speechless...

After a long time, Li Zhi couldn't help pointing at King Teng and said, "The King Teng that Jing Chu said was 'unselfish and upright', could it be this guy... um, this one, right?"

Li Qinzai said firmly: "That's right, it's this guy."

Li Zhi sighed: "Jingchu, don't be like this. I would like to double the benefits that Uncle Teng has given you. Take back what you said just now."

King Teng was startled, and then he looked displeased. If he hadn't restrained his impulse rationally, he would have almost yelled four times on the spot.

Empress Wu was thoughtful, and suddenly smiled and said, "Jingchu, to be honest, why did you choose him?"

Li Qinzai praised: "It's still the queen's eyesight. The minister recommended King Teng for nothing else. It's purely that the wicked need to be tortured by the wicked. It can also be understood as 'fighting poison with poison'..."

Li Zhi's constipated expression finally returned to normal, and he said with a smile, "This reason is obviously much more reasonable."

"Your Majesty, it is foreseeable that there will be great obstacles in the matter of road construction. There must be many opponents, whether in the court or in the people. It is useless to treat these opponents blindly. We still need a villain. Come suppress."

"The status of this villain must be noble, because those who are not born may be beaten. At the same time, the character of this villain must also be a bastard. He must be thick-skinned and black-hearted enough to rule those who oppose him."

King Teng's cheeks twitched violently a few times.

Although I know that Li Qinzai is trying his best to recommend him, but... can you just say something human?
After Li Qinzai explained, Li Zhi and Empress Wu understood.

The couple glanced at each other quickly.

Li Zhi glanced at King Teng again, seeing the uncle's unrestrained and pretending to be cute at the moment, Li Zhi sighed.

It's really... Looking at it from any angle, it's so unpleasant and makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

But Li Qinzai's reason for recommendation...was reasonable.

Glancing coldly at Queen Teng, Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "I will consider Jing Chu's remonstrance when I return to Chang'an."

After speaking, Li Zhi boarded the imperial chariot with Empress Wu without looking back.

King Teng was overjoyed, and knelt down to Li Zhi's imperial chariot, saying in surprise, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
