Chapter 614 Lifting weights lightly

"Father, it's a long story, and I'll take my time."

Li Xian's deployment was to wait for Gao Zong to ask such a question. At this time, the good opportunity had come. Li Xian was quite excited, but he did not lose his temper because of it. He just bowed with a smile and replied respectfully.

"Well, let's say it, I'm listening."

Gao Zong's curiosity had long been so great that he wanted to know the root of the matter. Hearing Li Xian's words, he hurriedly urged him.

"No!" Li Xian bowed and answered his promise, meditated slightly, quickly organized his thoughts, and then said slowly, "It's good for my father to know that in the early years, there was a personal guard in the son's house, named: Lin Hu, the character Han Yu, a person from Jingzhao, who was sincere. Later, because of carelessness, he violated the military rules, and the son had to expulsion him out of the king. The mansion gave him some capital to make a living, but unexpectedly, he was quite a genius in business. In less than ten years, he was one of the few seafarers in the Tang Dynasty. His men sat on dozens of large and small seaships and asked for life on the sea all year round. As far as Dongying, far as big food, they all of them had the figure of his fleet.

"I remember that five years ago, when my son was still in Hexi, because Tubo repeatedly violated the situation, it was difficult to raise grain in the army, so he thought about changing the grain seeds, but he couldn't find it all the time. He was worried and happened to be Lin Hu to visit. In the gossip, he said that he had saved his life while sailing overseas. According to that man, he was far away from the sea thousands of miles. Outside, there are continents, called the Americas. There are many rare birds and beasts, and many precious grain seeds. My ministers are very happy to hear that. The special committee searched for them. My ministers casually said that they didn't really put it in my heart. It was because I went to America far away from the Tang Dynasty, and the boundless sea was boundless. If I want to reach it, it was really difficult to reach the sky, but I didn't think that the forest tiger was really great. The team went far away. After several years, they went to the Americas. They fought many fierce battles with Shengfan and found a good seed to return. However, the losses of their troops were terrible, which was shocking. When they went there, there were more than a dozen large and small ships, and only three remnants. Three thousand loyal and brave men were buried overseas. When I heard about it, I couldn't help but burst into tears!"

Li Xian's eloquence is excellent. In addition, he has already practiced for a while. When he is about to say something, he is very sensational. When it comes to **, everyone is moved, and there are many people who choke their wrists for it.

"So that's it. This Lin Hu is really my loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Don't treat him badly. You should be rewarded!"

Gao Zong was originally a sentimental master. Being so sentimental by Li Xian, his eyes turned red. He stretched out his sleeves and brushed the tears that would come out of the frame and said with emotion.

"Father Sheng Ming, with such great achievements as Lin Hu, according to the usual practice, the Marquis should be able to reward him for his achievements."

Li Xian originally wanted to ask for credit for Lin Hu. At this time, Gao Zong had already opened his mouth. There was no reason for a snake to follow the stick, but he just hurried to pick up the conversation.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this discussion is not appropriate. Although Lin Hu has a small skill, one has not been proved. Second, the precedent of the merchant's title may be against the way of the saint. I really dare not agree. Please make it clear."

As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Marquis of Guan Nei was second only to the title of the Marquis, which was quite high. However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was just a virtual title. Not only did he have no fiefdom, but he did not have much actual power. He just had the meager authority of the emperor. It was really a great reward, but even if it was In this way, the party of the Empress Dowager of Wu did not want to give Li Xian the slightest possibility of strengthening. Well, before Gao Zong opened his mouth, Jia Chaoyin had already flashed out from the side and advised him loudly.

"Well..."

Gao Zong originally wanted to agree to Li Xian's request, but when Jia Chaoyin said this, he couldn't help but hesitate. It was really difficult to make a decision for a while.

"Jia Xiang's words are not good. What does it mean that a merchant cannot be a marquis? The ancestors outside the palace are also born as merchants. Later, he was awarded the title of Duke of Ying for raising military funds for Gao Zu. According to Jia Xiang's words, where do you want to rent outside the palace, huh?"

Li Xian is not a good stubble. This time, asking for merit for Lin Hu is what he must do. How can he tolerate the defeat of the party of the Empress of Wu. Seeing that Gao Zong's heart was shaken, he immediately rudely moved out the matter of the father of the Empress Wu, Samurai Yu - Samurai Yu was one of the most large timber merchants in the world in the Sui Dynasty. With a huge amount of money, he almost lost his life because he offended Sui Yang Suu. Later, he went to Li Yuan. He not only donated all his family money, but also used business as a means to raise a large amount of military funds for Li Yuan. With this credit, he was able to be awarded the title of Duke of Ying.

"Your Highness is wrong. How can this be compared? Wu Gong's business is still for military use. Gao Zu became a matter because of this. The feudal government is indeed a matter of the right thing, but although Lin Hu's move is a little labor, it is not enough to compare with each other."

Jia Chaoyin is a famous sophist in the court. He has always been known for his eloquence. He refused to show weakness in front of Li Xian, so he said with extremely toughness.

"The outer ancestor of this palace is the great achievement of the dragon, and the feudal prince should be. This article is known all over the world, and there is no need to say it. Lin Hu is not afraid of difficulties and dangers this time. He travels far away from the ocean and takes good seeds to benefit the world, which is to benefit the contemporary era. Although it is not as good as the achievements of the ancestors, it is not as the same as the Marquis of the customs. Why can't you say that Jia Xiang really wants to serve the country with the hearts of heroes in the world? What's the reason for this? I don't know, please give me some advice!"

It's the turn to argue. Li Xian is a real master. He didn't see that he had meetings all day in the officialdom in his previous life. The ability of his mouth was the second in the Tang Dynasty. No one dared to be called the first, and he could be refuted by Jia Chaoyin's light words. However, he saw that Li Xian's face was solemn and a series of heart-heart questions. He smashed it without any rudeness.

"Opening the door of luck is not the blessing of the court, and I dare not do it."

Li Xian's words were extremely sharp. He heard Jia Chaoyin sweating profusely, but he didn't want to admit defeat, so he randomly found a reason to prevaricate.

"Luckin? What a lucky one! According to Jia Xiang, is it the right way to have merit without reward? It's strange for me. Why did Jia Xiang worship the prime minister from a scholar? Isn't it a hard work? "

Li Xian has always hated Jia Chaoyin's character. At this time, he saw that he was in a mess. How could he let go of the opportunity to beat the falling dog? He rudely asked.

"Weichen, Weichen..."

Everyone in the world knows how Jia Chaoyin was promoted. It's not how much ability he has made, nor how much credit he has made. It's just that he was pulled out with the favor of the Queen of Wu. This matter is known to others, and he also knows it in his heart, but he is so urged by Li Xian in public, how can he dare to tell the truth. Besides, he really has no meritorable political achievements to show off. He blushed, but he couldn't even say a complete word. In the past, the eloquent image met the more eloquent Li Xian, and it was instantly broken.

"This matter is very controversial. Although these grains look good, I don't know if they can be promoted to the world. If they can only be limited to one place in the eastern capital, it is of great significance. It's not too late to discuss it after the dust settles. Do you have any objections, huh?"

The dog under his hand was beaten badly, and the Empress Wu, who was the master, could no longer sit still, so she waved her hand and ended the debate fairly.

"What the mother said is that the son-in-law has no objection, but the son-in-law has something else to ask for approval."

Li Xian disdained to argue with Jia Chaoyin. Now when he saw that Queen Wu came out, he was happy to end this unnutritious verbal quarrel. However, Li Xian did not intend to stop, so he dug a big pit and waited for Queen Wu to jump in.

"say."

Queen Wu originally wanted to use the power of the queen to suppress Li Xian's pursuit of Jia Chaoyin, but she didn't expect that Li Xian would not stop. When she heard Li Xian say that there was no other affection, her heart couldn't help but jump. She faintly felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, she could not prohibit Li Xian from speaking. She had no choice. He could only raise his eyebrows and squeeze out a word unhappily.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Li Xiancai didn't care whether the Empress Wu was happy or not. At this time he saw him, he had half fallen into the pit and was in a good mood. However, the city was deep, but he did not bring it to his face. Instead, he saluted respectfully. After thanking him, he arched his hand with a smile and said, "Well, my mother learned that my son and ministers have beaten so many times. The good seed did not dare to be neglected. It was not only cultivated in the palace of the minister, but also specially entrusted the governors of Qingzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Xiangzhou, Lanzhou, Yizhou and other six states to test the field. With the strong help of the governors of the six states, the achievements of the six states have come out. The existing six state governors have been reported here, and Rong Yichen reported it on behalf of him. Di Renjie, the governor of Qingzhou, reported that a total of 100 mu of land was allocated. If you try to plant 30 mu of sweet potatoes, you will get 153, 121 catties of sweet potatoes; if you try to plant 30 mu of peanuts, you will get 11,000,200 catties of shelled peanuts; if you try to plant 20 mu of potatoes, you will get 21,724 catties, and if you try to plant 20 mu of corn, you will get 13,000. Four hundred and seventy-eight catties..."

"Hum..."

Li Xian's words did not stop, and the ministers and workers couldn't help talking about it. For nothing else, just because these outputs are really amazing. It is even higher than Li Xianzhong's yield per mu in the East Palace. In particular, the yield per mu in Guangzhou and Hangzhou is even more amazing. The mu production of sweet potatoes alone has broken through. The 6,500 catties is more than ten times higher than the output value of rice. What's more strious to the courtiers is that the two large-yielding plants, sweet potatoes and potatoes, are suitable for a wide range of planting, not to mention the requirements for land power are not too high. It can be completely promoted in a large area in the land of China. Once it can really be achieved, The problem of food and clothing of the people can be solved. Its huge value is no worse than opening up the territory. Here, all the ministers and workers are all shrewd people. This account is incomparable. Under this excitement, it is inevitable that some children will lose their state. They completely forget that this is the imperial predecessor, and they are all excited. The jubilant children are ordinary...
