...

What is an agricultural college?

You can guess some by listening to this name. But what is Li Chengqian’s specific idea? Su Mi doesn’t know.

She wanted to know and was about to ask Li Chengqian that this was Xiao Chen's return.

She asked:

"Your Highness, has the Prince of the Wang family agreed? When will you sign the contract?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian remembered the Wang family’s tricks.

Originally, this kind of sloppy tricks would be enough to just stop birding. After all, the other party was sloppy tricks to steal his own family's money. But after he sent the seeds of the dragon fruit, Li Chengqian reconsidered it.

This time I will give him a favor.

Li Chengqian thought this way, then he should tell the queen about this matter and ask her to agree.

But after Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he kept thinking about the dragon fruit.

I forgot to talk to the queen.

Now that he heard Xiao Chen's words, Li Chengqian remembered it, so he said something to Xiao Chen and Su Mi, and ran outside.

When he arrived at Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian told the queen about the matter, and of course the queen was dissatisfied immediately.

She is the one who establishes the rules of sea boats, and Wang Ji is coming out to break the rules. How can the queen tolerate such a person?

"My mother, I have taken him a seed. This time you promise him first and sell him a favor!" Li Chengqian advised.

The queen glanced at Li Chengqian and said angrily: "You have accepted another bribe!"

This sentence sounds like an inquiry, but Li Chengqian heard the point of blame.

"Ah, you wronged me!" Li Chengqian shouted injustice. "I didn't collect money. I just saw that the seeds were good things. And after planting them, I also used them to benefit the people, so this favor cannot be said to be a bribe. It's just that he contributed the seeds, so he should be rewarded!"

The queen snorted, and she didn't believe it when she listened to Li Chengqian's defense. However, she had said the seeds that Li Chengqian said several times in a row. This kind of seed seemed very important in Li Chengqian's eyes, so important that she didn't even need the shipping fee or the shipping fee for several thousand guan.

"What seed are you talking about?" the queen asked curiously.

When Li Chengqian heard the queen ask this, he started to say excitedly.

He used all the beautiful words on the dragon fruit. When the queen heard it, she felt that she didn't believe it very much.

"Is there really something like this you said?"

Li Chengqian's head is like a chicken pecking at rice.

"You've eaten?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

"..." The queen's eyes changed.

Li Chengqian woke up and shook his head quickly and said, "You are so confused that I have never eaten it. But I know that this kind of thing must be very delicious, so I have to take it out and plant it, plant it and take a look, and you will know it after eating it!"

"Is it worth a few thousand guan?" asked the queen.

Li Chengqian took out the yellow jade bowl from his arms and showed it to the queen, saying, "My mother, this is a jade bowl containing seeds. This jade bowl also costs several hundred stagnant coins. This can be worth it."

"In addition, the value of this dragon fruit after it is planted may be more than tens of thousands of times the value of these thousands of scattered people."

"Aside from the ship fee and the return fee, the Wang family divided it into two shares. We seem to have lost several thousand guan. But if we don't agree with Wang Ji, we only agree with the Wang family one. Then will the Wang family invest 90,000 guan at a time? I'm afraid that 10,000 guan will be reduced. In this way, the ship fee will be reduced by 2,000 guan. Then, our losses are not that great."

"You've calculated a good debt!" The queen chuckled, and she agreed with Li Chengqian's explanation.

But she stressed: "This time I'm giving him a favor, but I won't allow it in the future."

"Well, I understand. With the first time the sea boat came back, everyone will know about the profits. It will be impossible for them to be foolish again." Li Chengqian said.

The queen was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's words and nodded.

The queen agreed, and Li Chengqian could speak to Wang Ji.

Next, the two parties can send people to negotiate and sign the contract.

Li Chengqian's current mind is not on signing the contract, but on the cultivation of dragon fruit.

According to his previous idea, to plant dragon fruit, he had to establish an agricultural college. This matter was not enough for him to ask the court for approval. The quickest way to handle the procedures is on the Queen's way.

Li Chengqian's eyes turned, and his voice said to the queen with a hint of flattery:

"Mother, do you want to eat what kind of delicious dragon fruit is?"

The queen asked strangely:

"You have fruit?"

After saying that, her eyes lit up.

I just heard Li Chengqian say so well, but if I can eat it now, it would be great.

Li Chengqian said: "I have a way to plant dragon fruit!"

The queen couldn't help but feel disappointed, and there was no ready-made fruit.

She asked with no interest: "How to plant it?"

Li Chengqian replied with interest: "This kind of dragon fruit needs to be planted in hot weather, so I have to be planted in the south, so I am going to ask someone to plant it in Lingnan with seeds."

"Then you go and plant it."

"Well, I just have an idea. After the planting is successful, we can eat what we can only eat in the outside world in one year to three years. Not to mention that we can satisfy our taste, if this thing is sold out, then... hehehe..." Needless to mention the strong economic value here, people in later generations like to eat fruits. In this Tang Dynasty, which lacks deliciousness, one dragon fruit can be sold for a pound of gold.

From the original lack of interest, the queen's eyes couldn't help but lit up again when she heard these two meanings.

Seeing that the queen had already become interested, Li Chengqian put on his face and said:

"However, if the father and the old stubborn men in the court knew that our mother and son would appoint individual personnel to Lingnan to plant dragon fruit in order to satisfy their own good fortune and pockets, I'm afraid they would accuse us of this!"

The queen was not worried at all and said:

"What does it have to do with our own money to plant it? You are too worried."

"That's not necessarily the talent that is planted? You can't just pull individuals to plant it with confidence. If you plant all the seeds but don't sprout, then you're not feeling sorry for you?" Li Chengqian spread his hands, "We need to use the talents from the Ministry of Works."

The queen glanced at him and said, "You have your own plans when you come to me, tell me."

Li Chengqian smiled and immediately told his idea:

"My mother, look at me, I don't have any other skills, but I care very much about the people in the world. Food is the most important thing for the people, so I found them three-season rice, corn that has just been planted and sprouted, and the dragon fruit. People take clothes as their appearance, so I promoted cotton and planted cotton. In two years, the people around Chang'an can wear cotton coats and cover them with quilts in winter! You said, what a good prince I am!"

As he spoke, he was so angry that he praised himself directly!

The queen stretched out her hand, patted her, and hit Li Chengqian on the head!

"You should stop talking about the old man Kong Yingda's praises you in the morning court. Let's talk about the key points!"

Li Chengqian rubbed his head and had to say:

"Actually, it's like this. There are a lot of crops I made and crops. Three-season rice, corn, cotton, crooked plows, water and windmills... Do you let them develop so many things? Or do you still have to manage them and continue to promote them for the people of the world? But here we need to consider that I don't have that much time and energy to manage... Well, I'm actually lazy. But no matter whether it's time or I'm lazy, it's just one sentence. It's not good to let me manage it alone. I should be a person who only comes up with ideas, but someone should help me do basic things, use them, and promote them..."

Li Chengqian stretched out his finger and said, "Just say the Spy Academy, I came up with the idea. If I were asked to take care of it, can I manage it? No, I am afraid I will be lazy. So my father made a wise decision at that time to let Uncle Li Xiaogong take care of it. Now you see that the Spy Academy is developing rapidly, and several countries around have sent seven or eight batches of graduates. I heard that the ninth batch of graduates are going to be sent out recently."

"Besides, the hospital is my idea, and I will leave it to Maitreya Buddha, Lao Sun and the others. After getting on the right track, Lao Sun and Azhen will do it. Now that I am well, everyone in the palace knows that as long as there is a disease, I will go to the hospital for a look. Moreover, a set of medical insurance has been established in the palace. The higher the official position, the more reimbursed the medical expenses."

"Let's talk about this business, Xiao Chen..."

"Okay, okay, are you trying to ask someone to help you manage the three-season rice?" The queen waved her hand and asked when she was afraid that Li Chengqian would continue to speak.

Li Chengqian nodded, "Yes, I want the court to establish an agricultural college for me, whether it is promoting three-season rice, cotton, and corn, and to study how to plant these things better. And find better varieties in the world, and then push them to the people in the world to plant them! Planting is not only carried out in Chang'an, but people have to be sent to other places in the Tang Dynasty to establish agricultural bases to see which crops are suitable for planting, and the south is the preferred place!"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian showed a dirty smile and said, "At that time, we asked the people from the base in Lingnan to try to grow a kind of dragon fruit, which is also serving the people!"

"Haha..." The queen laughed.

She was amused by Li Chengqian's shameless statement.

However, it’s nothing to do something practical for the world and bring some private goods like this.

And she understood at this time. He came to him to tell him about these things because he wanted to go through his back door and complete the procedures of the Agricultural College smoothly and quickly.
Chapter completed!
