Li Shimin

When a lot of tomatoes are knotted, they are a large bunch, crowded together.

Therefore, when picking, these scholars need to be very careful, otherwise it is easy to pull the tomatoes aside, or directly damage their branches.

On the side, seeing Li Xuan and these scholars eating tomatoes, Li Shimin didn't hold back, he got into the tomato seedlings and found a big and round tomato.

Regarding this, all the scholars couldn't help but glanced enviously at the tomato in Li Shimin's hand, which was twice as big as a person's fist.

They have seen several such big tomatoes in this greenhouse.It's just that, when they first arrived, they didn't bother to pick them.

Unexpectedly, this nobleman following behind the king would choose such a big one directly!

It's better not to be shy!

Li Shimin also felt something, looked up at this group of reserved and humble scholars, and smiled slightly.

Immediately, he turned his attention to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and asked directly: "Everyone has been in the village for a day, how do you feel about Li Family Village?"

"My lord, it seems like we are in a dream, and we have come to a fairy land like a paradise!"

"Exactly, although we are the children of a poor family, we have read hundreds of books and seen some world. However, we have never heard of or seen such a fairyland like Zhuangzi in Lijiazhuang!"

"Also please forgive me, Your Majesty. After I heard His words at the inn, I still wanted to retreat. After all, I was waiting in the midst of the twelfth lunar month. I left my home and came to Chang'an just for the spring test!

Only by passing the spring test and becoming an official of the court, can we revitalize the lintel and honor our ancestors! "

"However, I don't regret it at all now!"

"It's a blessing that I can't cultivate in eight lifetimes to come to Lijiazhuang!"

"There are not only great Confucian scholars giving lectures every day, but even the children of the village households, servants, and even maidservants in the village can listen to the lectures of those masters.

Here, basically everyone can read and write, and also know the Arabic arithmetic created by the king! "

"In the village, all households have surplus money, and they can still live in such strong and beautiful houses. Every family can still eat meat every few days!"

"Even in such a cold winter, Dawang Manor can still grow so many fresh and delicious vegetables..."

"Such a Zhuangzi who is like a blessed place in the world, I am afraid that His Majesty's Huangzhuang and palace are not so beautiful!"

"If I tell those scholars who didn't come about the situation in Dawangzhuang, I'm afraid they will regret it..."

As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, the children from the poor family immediately became excited and began to talk happily. They didn't even notice that Li Shimin, who was munching on tomatoes, stopped immediately.

Moreover, his complexion is getting darker and darker!

"That's right, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only this king, the Zhuangzi, can have such beauty!"

Li Xuan smiled softly, "As for Your Majesty's Huangzhuang, I'm far behind my Zhuangzi. In the whole world, I'm afraid only the Zhuangzi of the Crown Prince, Su Guogong, Qi Guogong, etc., can have such a beautiful Zhuangzi!"

"what?"

Hearing this, a group of scholars were startled, and quickly looked at Li Xuan with suspicion.

"My lord, in the Tang Dynasty, there are other Zhuangzi like this?"

"These Zhuangzi are all Zhuangzi in the family of this king's students. They learn from this king's Zhuangzi and rebuild Zhuangzi step by step. Naturally, they will gradually become like my king's Zhuangzi!"

Li Xuan said with a smile.

"I see!"

All the children from poor families understood.

Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin who was at the side, and asked again: "Are you still planning to attend the next year's spring exam?"

"Hey, please don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as your Majesty doesn't drive me away to come to such a fairyland-like Zhuangzi, we won't leave no matter what!"

Qiu Shuye and Cen Xugang, a group of scholars, said hurriedly.

Li Shimin's eyelids twitched.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, and then asked again: "So, have you thought about what you can do in Li Family Manor?"

"This……"

Immediately, Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and the other scholars couldn't help being taken aback.

As scholars, they are best at being officials, and when they come down, they are school masters, or they can find errands at will, writing, accounting, logically, no matter where they are, they have a place to use.

But, this is Lijiazhuang.

Officials are those subordinates of the king, and these are not their turn.As for the school masters, most of the school masters in Lijiazhuang are the disciples of those four great Confucians, and they are not qualified to compete with Ben.

Moreover, even the servants of the farmers and the king can read and write, and can do arithmetic!

It seems that they are the most useless group of people?

Thinking about it, Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and other scholars subconsciously fell silent!

"It's okay if you haven't figured it out yet!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan smiled gently. This is the reaction a group of rookies who have just entered a large group company should have.

"You will observe carefully in the village for another five days to familiarize yourself with the situation in the village. After five days, come and tell me what kind of work you can do in the village!"

Hearing this, all the scholars subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted Li Xuan.

"Thank you king!"

"Okay, let's go and check around!"

Li Xuan waved his hand lightly!

Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and the other scholars bowed their hands to Li Xuan again, then thought of something, they also bowed their hands to Li Shimin, and slowly walked out of the tomato greenhouse.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of these scholars?"

After there was no one in the shed, Li Xuan smiled lightly and looked at Li Shimin.

"Ugh!"

Li Shimin sighed helplessly, "They are all short-sighted and stupid scholars!"

"Hey, as long as His Majesty is not angry!"

Li Xuan didn't bother arguing with Li Shimin, he just smiled.

Li Shimin took a long breath, picked up the tomato in his hand, and took a hard bite.

Afterwards, he asked curiously: "Xuanba, what kind of work are you going to let these scholars do in the village?"

Chapter 764 Who Is Destroying My Li Family Village's Reputation?

"Your Majesty, let's see what they like to do!"

Li Xuan replied.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"Whether they are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, they are all scholars who have studied for more than ten years. They can do everything in the village. Moreover, if they do it seriously, they can do it well!"

Li Xuan said with a smile, "So, it depends on what they like to do!"

"Xuan Ba ​​brought these scholars back to Li's Village, and didn't think about what they should do?"

Li Shimin didn't believe Li Xuan's nonsense.

"Of course there are!"

Li Xuan continued with a faint smile, "For example, help those farmers to study how to grow crops better? Produce more? Or, how to make fertilizer with better fertility?"

"Even if this kind of scholars want to go to the forging workshop to learn to forge their own utensils, it's not impossible!"

"Or, if they want to be shopkeepers, let them have a try..."

"Don't Xuanba feel that letting these scholars do this is overkill?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said with an expression of displeasure.

"So, it depends on their wishes!"

Li Xuan said with a smile, "Above these things, I will never force their wishes. Even if they suddenly regret it and want to take part in the spring test, I will let them go!"

"A group of scholars who are fascinated by the bustling scene of Lijiazhuang, how can they be willing to participate in the spring exam?"

Li Shimin snorted softly, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"But your majesty must not forget that if you can really increase the crop yield, even if it is only a [-]% increase, it will be a great contribution, which is much greater than the contribution made by your majesty's hundreds of officials!"

Li Xuan was still smiling.

"When the time comes, I hope there will be another Marquis Si Nong in my village!"

"..."

Li Shimin gave Li Xuan a hard look, and was too lazy to speak.

There is already a craftsman, Mohou, and two county men in the village, and there is still wishful thinking, wanting a Sionghou!

However, thinking about it, Li Shimin's heart moved, and he said directly.

"If someone in the Li Family Manor can grow rice or wheat with an yield of six shi per mu, I will make him the Marquis of Si Nong!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuan quickly said with joy on his face.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being taken aback, and asked with some doubts: "Xuanba, could it be that there are already people in your village who can grow rice or wheat with an yield of six stones per mu?"

"no!"

Li Xuan shook his head.

"That's good..."

Li Shimin murmured subconsciously.

However, before he finished speaking, he sensed something was wrong and quickly shut up.

Afterwards, he changed the subject and said: "I heard that the poorest household in the Li family village also has accumulated a fortune in their family?

Every family has meat to eat, fresh vegetables to eat, and a carriage to ride... Life is better than those wealthy households in Chang'an City.

Ordinary people, even some low-level officials, dare not provoke them at will? "

"Your Majesty, who did you hear this from?"

Li Xuan's face darkened, "This is simply ruining the reputation of my Li family village!"

"Isn't it?"

Li Shimin showed doubts, "I see that the households in Lijiazhuang are much richer than those in my village!"

"It's normal to be richer than His Majesty's Zhuangzi!"

Li Xuan nodded seriously, which made Li Shimin feel relieved.

"It's just that the farmers in Li's Village stay in the farm all day long, either raising poultry and livestock, or concentrating on learning characters, reading various agricultural books and classics, studying how to grow crops with the highest yield per mu, or Fertilizer with the best fertility!

Throughout the year, there is no chance to get out of Lijiazhuang.

How can it be spread that the farmers in my Li Family Village don't even dare to provoke officials? "

The more he said, the more Li Xuan became angry, "Your Majesty, the farmers in my Li Family Village are so indifferent to fame and wealth, and they are devoted to research and contribution to the agriculture of the Tang Dynasty. How can they be so slandered by people out of thin air?"

"housekeeper?"

As he spoke, he yelled directly at the butler beside him.

"What is the king's order?"

Li Chang hurried forward.

"Hurry up and send people to the city to find out who the thieves are slandering the reputation of my Li family village out of thin air!" Li Xuan sternly said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Chang was also full of anger.

"In addition, send people to find the shopkeepers and workers of various tea shops, glass shops, book shops, as well as the shopkeepers and old soldiers of the carriage dealers. If someone slanders my Lijiazhuang like this, the king will not believe it. These people Didn't hear any gossip!"

Li Xuan said again.
