I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen's words made these people even more ashamed. They had not written to Concubine Wei for a long time. During Yuan Zheng's reign, they also asked someone to send some gifts to the palace.

They no longer live in Weiqu, but have all moved to Chang'an. In the past year or so, their business has spread to more than 40 states.

With an annual income of hundreds of thousands, many members of the Wei family are envious of them. Even the powerful Xiaoyao Gongfang is peeking at their property.

But now Wei Siqi and the others have Concubine Wei behind them, as well as a nephew who dares to do anything, so Wei Ting and the others can only think about it, but don't dare to move.

Over the past year or so, their little life has become more and more prosperous. They have married several concubines, contributing to the Yun Gongfang development project.

After chatting for a while, Li Shen stayed with them to have a meal in the palace before they left.

"Prince Qi, the garden shed has been built." At this time Shitou came over to report.

"It's done, let's go over and have a look." Li Shen took Lu Dingniang by hand to the back garden.

I saw that a glass greenhouse covering an area of ​​more than half an acre has been completed. The front is made of glass and the back is a brick wall. Because a fire needs to be made, Li Shen made this wall a fire wall. If the temperature is not enough, a fire must be made.

"Are the gaps plugged with cotton?" Li Shen asked. There must be a gap at the edge of the glass, and Li Shen didn't have glass glue, so he could only plug it with cotton.

"Go back to my lord, it's all blocked." the foreman replied.

Li Shen nodded and led Lu Dingniang and others into the greenhouse.

"Wow, Lang Jun, it's so warm here." Lu Dingniang exclaimed as soon as she came in.

"Of course, how about growing vegetables?" Li Shen patted Lu Dingniang's little hand.

Li Shen carefully checked the stability to ensure that it wouldn't collapse if there was a strong wind. The pillars were buried very deep, and were supported by thick pillars at intervals in the middle.

Li Shen estimated that no matter how heavy the wind and snow were, it would not be able to collapse.

"Yes, very good. Let people start lighting the fire to heat up the place and melt the land. Turn over the land and plant vegetables with me tomorrow." Li Shen said with satisfaction.

Back in the room, Lu Dingniang asked;

"Mr. Lang, it's so cold in winter, can we grow vegetables?" In her world view, this was like a fairy tale.

"Of course," Li Shen lay on the recliner and pulled Lu Dingniang into his arms.

Although I can't understand it in depth, it is still possible to touch and search for some oil.

"This vegetable needs temperature, sunlight and water. We built a glass greenhouse. The fire wall is just warm enough. The glass is transparent, so our vegetables can be grown."

Li Shen explained while taking advantage of the situation.

Although Lu Dingniang was shy, she was used to it.

The next day, Li Shen put on work clothes and led several personal maids and eunuchs to the greenhouse.

The ground inside had melted and was very moist. Li Shen went in and took a look at the thermometer. It was about thirty degrees, which was not bad.

Then we started to make ridges and plant seeds.

Li Shen has a wide variety of rapeseeds, and many of them are exotic species collected from the Western Regions and other places.

Such as sunflower, leek, celery, turnip (radish), water spinach, winter melon, courgette (cucumber), shepherd's purse, amaranth, onion, water shield, etc.

In addition, there are some exotic varieties of eggplant, spinach (spinach), etc.

Li Shen also planted cantaloupes, watermelons, and grapes for him. In fact, Li Shen himself didn't know which ones would grow and which ones wouldn't grow after planting so many.

Because he had never seen many of them before. He plans to divide the small vegetable garden on this half-acre of land into different squares and use signs to mark what is grown here.

Find two servants who know how to grow vegetables to take charge of the vegetable garden and record the growth of these vegetables.

In this way, Li Shen began his real pastoral life, not only sowing during the day but also at night.

This gave Li Shen a new understanding of the concept of pastoral life.

Li Shen originally planned to finish before the Lantern Festival, but something unexpected happened, and suddenly the situation suddenly changed and it started to snow heavily.

In the "Li An" Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin sat in the side hall making tea and watching the memorials in his spare time. Now most of the memorials will be sent to the East Palace.

After Li Chengqian has reviewed it, it will be sent to the three provinces. If there are any deficiencies, it will be sent back to Li Shimin for review again.

"I'm here." Li An walked in from outside.

"What has Prince Ji been doing recently?" Li Shimin asked. Li Shimin had raised several new ones and was going to take a look today.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ji has recently cleared away all the flowers and plants in the palace garden, and is now planting vegetables in the garden."

"Huh, what a prodigal son. All the flowers in his house are exotic flowers and plants. Many of them are not available in the palace, but he actually shoveled them all just to grow vegetables." Li Shimin started to complain when he heard that Li Shen was a prodigal. but...

"Growing vegetables!~ You said he grows vegetables at home???" Li Shimin reacted with a surprised expression,

"Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Ji built a shed in the garden and personally took Princess Ji and her servants to grow vegetables in the shed." Li An replied.

Li Shimin walked to the door, opened the door, looked at the heavy snow outside, then sat down and asked doubtfully;

"Wang De, I don't remember any vegetables grown in winter. Besides, it's snowing so heavily outside."

Li Shimin's question made Wang De also rack his brains to recall. He was also a farmer before, but he didn't think of any vegetables grown in winter.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what vegetables are grown in winter. How about I go to Prince Ji's Mansion and ask Prince Ji?" Wang De could only think of going to Prince Ji's Mansion to ask Li Shen.

"Well, forget it, as long as you don't go out and cause trouble, it's okay to spend money."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, Li Shen's prodigal behavior is well-known in Chang'an. He has money anyway, so as long as Li Shen doesn't go out and cause trouble, he can do whatever he wants.

As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. At first, no one paid much attention to the heavy snow, but after it fell for a day and a night, it still showed no sign of stopping.

Now it is more than a foot deep. At this time, someone finally realizes that things may not be as good as imagined.

Among them, the most worrying person is Li Shimin.

In the evening, Li Shimin came to Daji Hall. After just having dinner with Concubine Wei, he sat in the luxurious study room decorated by Li Shen and drank tea.

It's just that Li Shimin no longer had that leisurely elegance at this moment. The window was opened a crack, and Li Shimin stood at the window looking at the snowy sky outside, feeling worried.

It has been a day and a half, and the heavy snow has not stopped. The snow accumulation has reached nearly two feet. Looking at the situation, at least there will be a disaster on the Guannai Road.

Unlike other disasters, if it is a drought or a locust plague, as long as the people are fine, the court can distribute relief food and they can survive it safely.

But snow disasters are different. If houses are collapsed by heavy snow and people are displaced, they will freeze to death even if they don't starve to death due to such heavy snow.

"Am I really not the right one?"
