Chapter 39 A word from a gentleman is hard to follow
Qin Mo stared at Li Shilong.
If he doesn't take the bait, then his work will be in vain.
Moreover, he couldn't even find a place to reason.
Seeing Qin Mo's excitement, Li Shilong was also afraid that he was doing something stupid, "How to bet?"
"It takes two days to sprout and fifteen days to harvest. If it doesn't work, my son-in-law is willing to admit defeat and demolish the greenhouse. From now on, he will be obedient to whatever my father-in-law says!"
"really?"
"As a gentleman, no horse can be chased!" Qin Mo's chest thumped loudly.
"It's a gentleman's words, but a horse cannot be chased!" Li Shilong shook his head helplessly. This idiot is ignorant and has a strong personality and a gambling habit.
"It's the same anyway!" Qin Mohan said with a smile.
"In this case, I will agree to your bet. If it fails after fifteen days, you will go to the Imperial College to attend classes. You will be obedient and don't even think about doing business. I can't afford to lose that person!"
"It's not shameful to make money, it's shameful to have no money!" Qin Mo snorted!
When Li Yushu saw Qin Mo making a bet with his father, he immediately became anxious, "Father, didn't you say you wanted to teach Qin Hanzi a lesson?"
"Yu Shu, Qin Hanzi is a piece of rough jade that needs to be polished. Although he is a bit naive, he can still be of great use if polished well."
Qin Mo's arithmetic skills were even inferior to Liang Zheng's. No, that old guy now, besides coming to the Imperial Academy to take classes, now hides at home and studies arithmetic every day.
Now everyone laughs at him. A great scholar is worse than a fool.
Arithmetic is of great use, and if it is used well, that is the talent needed by the Ministry of Accounts.
Moreover, Qin Hanzi has a straightforward personality and is not a sneaky person, so I can't be more relieved to have him join the Household Department.
Li Yushu stomped her feet angrily. She couldn't understand what Qin Mo was good at.
He obviously resisted and talked back. If it had been anyone else, they would have had their heads chopped off.
And my father still likes him so much, I can’t understand it!
Seeing Li Yushu and Li Shilong biting each other, Qin Mo thought to himself that these little bitches were probably causing trouble again.
Sure enough, Li Shilong's next words soon verified his conjecture.
"Qin Hanzi, I agreed to the bet, but what crime do you deserve for resisting the decree and disrespecting it?"
If you resist, you will be beheaded.
Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "Who said I had resisted the decree? Did I resist the decree? It was Lao Gao who came over and asked me to go to the palace to see my father-in-law, but I was busy with work. Could it be that I was asked to put it down? Are you going to see your father-in-law about the farm work you are doing? Who in the world doesn't know that my father-in-law has a broad mind? Who doesn't know that my father-in-law pays attention to farming and is light on corvees and taxes?
Is it possible that the father-in-law wants to accuse the son-in-law of disobeying the decree because of this trivial matter? "
He said aggrievedly: "Father-in-law, if you want to punish me, can you spank me lightly? I was spoiled by you last time, and I still haven't done it well yet!"
As we all know, Qin Hanzi has a straight heart and can hardly lie or flatter.
So what he just said went directly into Li Shilong's heart, not to mention the comfort.
Is there any wise gentleman who doesn’t like to hear it? Seeing Qin Mo covering his butt with both hands, he laughed angrily and put his foot on Qin Mo's butt, "You idiot, you will be punished but not beaten. Forget it this time. I will break your legs next time." !”
"Thank you, father-in-law. Your father-in-law's heart is as high as the sky. The great Khan of Heaven is none other than my father-in-law!"
Qin Mo chuckled.
Gao Shilian sighed to himself after hearing this. Who said that fools can't say nice things? This flattery is smoother than his.
Li Yushu stomped his feet angrily. This flatterer only picks what his father likes to hear.
Such a serious crime as resisting an imperial edict was easily brushed aside by him.
Yang Liugen also wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled heartily when he looked at the young master with a silly smile. "I didn't expect that your majesty likes the young master so much. This is probably because fools are blessed!"
"Okay, I'm going back to the palace!"
Li Shilong was in a much better mood after leaving the palace.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law will give it to you!" Qin Mo walked with Li Shilong without any image, "Father-in-law, after my son-in-law's vegetables are grown, I will send them to the palace for you to try as soon as possible!"
"Hmph, let's wait until you plant it!"
Li Shilong didn't believe he could grow vegetables at all.
Li Yushu looked at Qin Mo, "Qin Hanzi, you are so bold, you actually dare to walk side by side with your father!"
This idiot doesn't know the rules, the etiquette, and the dignity of superiors and inferiors. He should be killed!
"You are so talkative and talk so much while walking. If I come closer, wouldn't it be easier to chat with my father-in-law?"
Qin Mo snorted and rolled his eyes. Li Yushu was beautiful, but she was not his cup of tea at all.
That kind of gentle, virtuous and knowledgeable little lady is Qin Mo's favorite.
"you!"
Li Yushu was so angry that he said, "Qin Hanzi, don't you ever say that I'm nagging again!"
"Luo Suo, just be Luo Suo. If you can, don't eat my cooking!"
"If you don't eat, you don't eat, who cares!"
The two people quarreled with each other, but Li Shilong didn't feel noisy, and felt in his heart that this was the happiness of human relations.
With so many princes and princesses in the palace, only Li Yushu dared to do this in front of her.
"Father, look at Qin Hanzi!"
"All right!"
Li Shilong quickly took out his ruler and tapped Qin Mo on the head, "A man, what's the harm in giving in to a girl?"
Qin Mo muttered dissatisfiedly, but he didn't say a word to Li Yushu the rest of the way.
Li Yushu also had a straight face, feeling that Qin Mo was extremely angry.
After seeing Li Shilong off, Qin Mo put his hands on his hips and said, "Now, no one can stop this young master's plan to make a fortune."
Li Shilong returned to the palace from Qinzhuang, and the news quickly spread throughout the capital.
People are talking about it.
"Hey, Your Majesty went to great lengths for this fool!"
"Who says it's not the case? How can we grow vegetables in this winter?"
"If you lose, Qin Hanzi, please don't lie!"
News of the bet between Qin Mo and Li Shilong spread throughout the capital, and everyone with a discerning eye understood what was going on.
Who doesn't know that Qin Mo is a fool? Your Majesty made a bet with a fool and wanted to use this method to influence him!
"Huang En is mighty, and the Qin family is still at its peak!"
Many people are thinking in their hearts.
But more people laughed at Qin Mo, laughing at him for being stupid and wasting money.
I also pity Princess Jingyang. As the eldest princess of Daqian, she actually married a fool.
Even if he has tens of millions of assets, he can't withstand Qin Mo's troubles.
In the East Palace, Li Xin was doing the accounting, "I'm so poor, my treasury only has 8000 taels of silver!"
The treasury is now empty. Although the wars over the years have been won, the treasury is also depleted.
"Tell me what to do. Winter is coming. If you don't have money, you won't be able to survive this winter!"
Although Li Xin is the prince, Li Shilong has not delegated power yet. Apart from his staff and the prince's companion, there are no decent officials in his East Palace!
Everyone lowered their heads involuntarily. At this time, Gongsun Chong stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have a plan!"
