Chapter 42 Mimic the climate? This time, when Li Shilong left the palace, he did not mobilize a large number of troops, but paid a private visit incognito.
He hurriedly arrived at Qinzhuang. When everyone in Qinzhuang saw Li Shilong, they quickly knelt on the ground.
"Get up, everyone get up." Li Shilong asked anxiously: "Where is Qin Mo?"
"Your Majesty, the young master is taking a nap!"
what? Nap?
Li Shilong gritted his teeth angrily. This idiot had done such a big thing as growing vegetables, but instead of sending someone to report, he sent a basket of vegetables.
If he hadn't sent Gao Shilian here, he would still have been kept in the dark.
"I am the king of a country and I dare not slack off. He actually took a nap. Go and call me this idiot!"
After saying that, he ran directly to the greenhouse.
Under the guidance of Gao Shilian, he excitedly opened the curtain.
When that emerald green came into view, Li Shilong's breathing became rapid, "This fool actually grew vegetables!"
"Can you go in?"
"Of course you can, but you have to bend down when entering, Your Majesty." Yang Liugen hesitated.
"nothing!"
Li Shilong turned around and got into the greenhouse. He looked at the vegetables growing vigorously in the ground, and pointed to the vegetables grown in clay pots on the shelf beside him, "Can you grow vegetables like this?"
"Your Majesty, yes, our young master said that as long as the soil can keep up, we can grow vegetables!"
“How can we grow vegetables in a clay pot that only has so much power?”
Li Shilong didn't understand.
Yang Liugen smiled bitterly and said: "Master said, vegetables are actually just like people. They need to eat when they are hungry. If you just water them, it will be difficult for the vegetables to grow. Even if they grow, they will be malnourished, so they must be supplemented with fertilizer!"
“What is fertilizer?”
"This is what the young master asked us to do. Burying it in the soil can increase the soil's strength!"
"This fool actually has such a talent!"
Li Shilong felt that he really underestimated Qin Mo. Although Qin Mo was naive, he had talents in some aspects that ordinary people could not match.
For example, arithmetic, or growing vegetables!
At this moment, Li Shilong wanted to transfer Qin Mo to the Ministry of Industry and let him specialize in growing vegetables.
After walking around in a circle, Li Shilong became more and more happy as he watched, but when he came out of the greenhouse, his expression darkened again, "Where's Qin Mo, why hasn't he come yet?"
pissed him off.
"Your Majesty, Zhuangzi is a little far away from here. The Prince Consort is not that quick to understand!" Gao Shilian said in a low voice.
"Humph!"
Li Shilong snorted arrogantly, "I heard that Qin Mo made three bowls but failed to finish the job. He is so brave. The country is short of food. I have repeatedly ordered not to make wine. He is turning a deaf ear to my orders!"
Yang Liugen hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this thirty-thousand-yuan wine is not brewed by the young master. It is made by the young master's secondary processing of Sanle pulp and fruit wine."
Sanle pulp is not produced in large quantities, but comes from the Western Regions, so it is expensive.
A pound of three pieces of pulp costs ten taels of silver.
"Oh?"
Li Shilong became interested, "Does he still have this kind of ability? Why don't I believe it so much!"
"Although the young master is naive, his mind is simple. In some places he is not as good as others, but in other places he is far superior to ordinary people!"
Li Shilong recognized this sentence.
In fact, in Li Shilong's eyes, Qin Mo is a man with an innocent heart.
Sometimes he gets so angry that he wants to break his legs!
After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, just when Li Shilong was getting impatient, Qin Mocai walked over listlessly from a short distance away. "My son-in-law meets my father-in-law, ha."
Qin Mo cupped his hands and slapped Ha Qie with tears streaming down his face, as if he hadn't woken up.
Li Shilong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. It would be fine if this guy didn't kneel down when he saw him. He was still lazy. No matter how you looked at it, it was a crime of disrespect.
But this guy grew vegetables again. Now he really wants to know the secret of Qin Mo's vegetables.
"Qin Mo, let me ask you, how do you grow vegetables?"
"Didn't my father-in-law see everything?"
Qin Mo has been working on distillation equipment all night these days.
Daqian is not allowed to make wine, but how can he make money by opening Haidilao without making wine?
Whether it's cooking, hot pot, or green vegetables, there's no money to be made from wine.
"I'm asking you, why can these vegetables grow against the season?"
"Isn't it very simple? Just imitate the spring and summer climate and we can make them grow up?"
"Mimicking the climate?"
Li Shilong nodded thoughtfully, "Then, can we grow food in winter?"
"Well, it's theoretically possible, but it's not necessary, because winter only lasts for three to four months, and generally food takes more than three months. If planting in winter consumes the soil, then sowing in spring next year will definitely produce a poor harvest!"
Qin Mo said.
"Is there any problem that can be solved?"
"Yes, I have!"
Li Shilong was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What is the solution? If you can solve this problem, I will agree to whatever you want!"
“Isn’t it enough to cultivate higher-yielding grain seeds?”
Qin Mo said: "I still have to ask such a simple question!"
"Then you can cultivate it?"
"Me? I can't!" Qin Mo shook his head, "If I really have high-yield seeds, I will sell them at a sky-high price and make a lot of money. Who would grow vegetables every day!"
Li Shilong angrily hit him on the head, "You idiot, grain is the foundation of the country, how can it be used commercially?"
"I grow it myself. I can sell it however I want. If this is not allowed and that is not allowed, I have no motivation!"
It's fine to do anything, but it's too painful for the emperor to be dictatorial.
This culture must be changed.
What happened to making money? How can your life improve and society progress if you don’t make money? Don’t you have to have money to pay taxes?
"You idiot, lazy and greedy for money!"
Li Shilong cursed, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.
"By the way, father-in-law, if you lose the bet, you can't demolish my greenhouse in the future, and don't force me to go to the Imperial College!"
Seeing that Qin Mo took the bet and said yes, Li Shilong was very angry, "You are obviously very talented in arithmetic and planting. I won't allow you to waste your talents. So, you come up with this method of growing vegetables. Then go to the Imperial Academy to do calculations, and after you marry Yu Shu, you can choose between the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works!"
Damn it, this is so shameless.
In one sentence, he wants his own planting technology, and he has to do academic calculations, and he has to force himself to marry the princess and work for him.
The heart is too dark! "Father-in-law, you are the emperor, how can you cheat, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by everyone?"
Qin Mo cut and said, "Also, my son-in-law has worked hard to grow these vegetables. If you take them away, I will never grow vegetables again. If there are any good things, I will hide them and never follow them again." If you share it, you will take it away anyway if you like it, so I choose to lie down!
I don’t want to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of Works. You force me without even asking if I want to. This is oppression and inhumane! "
