Chapter 1610 The old man's problem
"You, when did you come to the Tang Dynasty? Did you follow..." Xuanzang looked at Kapil in surprise. It was obvious that these two people should be old acquaintances.
"Yes, I came back with Lord Wu." Kapil nodded quickly and said excitedly: "And Your Highness treats me well. He specially asked His Majesty the Emperor to ask for me for me. Now I have a title. After all the seeds are ripe, I will be the Duke!"
Kapil's speech speed is very fast and he is not very clear. However, Xuanzang had had a long contact with him and was also familiar with some of his experiences. He learned a general idea from his words. After knowing that he got what he wanted, he was happy for him and kept talking about my Buddha's compassion!
"Hey, aren't you, the monk, gone? Why are you back?" Li Chengqian and the two of you were almost talking, and then suddenly asked.
"Your Highness, King Qin, Kapier is an old acquaintance of my monk. I haven't seen you for many years. I'm a little more provocative. I hope your highness will forgive you." Xuanzang bowed Li Chengqian with his hands and said a little apologetically.
"Your Highness, Master Xuanzang is a great monk. How could you let him leave like this? King Jieri had stayed with a thousand taels of gold, but he had never left the master." Kapil immediately said to Li Chengqian anxiously when he heard that Xuanzang was leaving.
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Li Chengqian looked at the old monk with some curiosity: "I didn't expect that you, the old monk, are so valuable. It seems that I am not wrong to say that you can live forever with just one bite of meat."
"Your Highness is laughing!" Xuanzang's mouth twitched. If it weren't for the limitations of the precepts, he would really want to say to Li Chengqian: Your uncle!
"Well, since you are so valuable, you should stay and not leave. When your temple is repaired, I will send you there in person. I will live with me for the time being, but... don't try to make me come and transform me again." Li Chengqian curled his lips and said in a slightly warning tone.
Old Monk Xuanzang was not stupid. He knew very well that the people outside who didn't know their true thoughts were actually easy to fool. It was because they were easy to fool that the old Monk was afraid that they would take the story made up by Li Chengqian as real.
It is better to be lazy than to die these days. Although Xuanzang is not afraid of death, he is also afraid of death. After all, it is fine if he travels thousands of miles west, but he is eaten by someone to return to the Tang Dynasty. This is somewhat funny.
Besides, Xuanzang was actually worried about another question, that is, whether His Majesty Li Er would take this story as true. If Li Er took this matter seriously, he would probably have to choose two ways of steaming or barbecuing.
...
After dealing with the old monk, Li Chengqian turned his attention to Kapil again: "How many potatoes have you planted? Have you all raised them now?"
"When you go back to your highness, there are about thirty potatoes left. I am in a hurry to come here to announce the good news to you, and before I can all get it out," Kapil bowed and replied.
"Don't get up the rest. I will invite my father to come tomorrow and let him do it myself."
Li Chengqian is not a fool. He has not forgotten that the old man once told him that when these new varieties of fruits and vegetables are ripe, he must notify them.
Besides, everyone knows that there is powder to rub on the face. High-yield crops such as potatoes and corn are good things for the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian is still waiting to scare the old man when these species mature. Naturally, it is impossible to complete a harvest quietly.
...
His Majesty Li Er has been having a headache about how to deal with the problem of Tianzhu during this period, so when Li Chengqian came to find him, the old man had no good expression, but just glanced at him lightly: "What's wrong with coming to find me this time?"
"Father, have you forgotten something?" Li Chengqian didn't know that the old man was worried about the doubled land, so he got up as usual.
"If you have something, just say it, if you have nothing to do, I don't have time to grind your teeth with you." The old man glanced at Li Chengqian and said impatiently.
In his opinion, it was precisely because of Li Chengqian's random tossing that such a big trouble occurred. Now most of the Northern India has been defeated, plus the Western Regions, the Mobei, and the Western Turks. Such a large area is almost equivalent to the territory of the entire Tang Dynasty.
If you give up such a large piece of land, the old man would probably feel distressed, but if he didn't give up, how could anyone be responsible for taking over these places?
It’s okay to say that the land in Mobei is too far away, but the land in India and the Western Turks is a little worried that Lao Li will give it to anyone. If it’s not good, it will be a coup and the place will be gone, and many people will probably die.
Li Chengqian didn't know what the old man was thinking. After being taught a lesson, he shrank his neck: "That, the potatoes are ripe and can be harvested, and the corn is ripe and can be harvested. The son-in-law came over and wanted to ask if his father is interested in going to see it together."
His Majesty Li Er had already forgotten what he had said at this time. When Li Chengqian said that, he was a little puzzled. After a while, he realized something and asked with some disdain: "Is it the thing you mentioned that yields dozens of stones per mu?"
"Ah, yes, that's that." Li Chengqian nodded.
"Okay, when are you going to harvest? I and your mother come and take a look." Looking at Li Chengqian's serious look, Li Erxin said, "This time I'll just go to relax." Anyway, there's nothing wrong with the people in Tianzhu, and it's not a day or two that can be understood.
Li Chengqian was scolded by the old man just now, so he naturally would not feel uncomfortable anymore. He said honestly: "My son plans to harvest tomorrow. Does Father have time?"
"Is it tomorrow?" Li Er thought for a while: "Okay, go back, and I and your mother will go to your place tomorrow."
"Yes, my son is leaving!" Seeing that the matter had been settled, Li Chengqian bowed to the old man and was about to leave. At this moment, the old man suddenly stopped him, beat him up and down before asking, "What are you going to do with Tianzhu's affairs? Last time I asked you, you were vague, so don't even think about fooling you this time."
"Ah?" Li Chengqian didn't expect that the old man had been struggling with this matter. He looked at Lao Li with surprise and felt a little confused about how to speak.
"What, I'm asking you." Leader Li glared at Li Chengqian.
"What's the difficulty? It's better for anyone to go there. Xiaoke, Xiaotai, Xiaoyou, Xiaoyan, aren't it all okay? You just find someone to manage it. It's nothing difficult." Li Chengqian spread his hands and said innocently.
