Chapter Fifty-Five
"Wuji, who do you think of this Li Xiu? He is obviously a genius, but he doesn't like Zhang Yang. He doesn't even care about the rewards of the court. He has no reaction to my repeated show of kindness. Is he more optimistic about his elder brother, so he wants to rely on his elder brother with a determined heart?" In the Qin Palace, Li Shimin walked around anxiously. The failure to recruit him several times has made him lose patience.
As the saying goes, the authorities are confused. As an outsider, Changsun Wuji can think more calmly. He saw him sitting there and sip the tea that Li Shimin cooked by himself just now, and then he smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't be angry. In fact, from my perspective, this Li Xiu is indeed unwilling to be recruited by your Highness..."
When Li Shimin heard Changsun Wuji say the same thing, he became angry again. He was about to say something, but Changsun Wuji waved his hand and interrupted him, "But you don't have to worry, Li Xiu will not be used by His Highness, nor will he be used by the crown prince. His Highness asked someone to collect information about Li Xiu before, and I have just carefully studied it, but found that Li Xiu is not very concerned about fame and fortune."
When he said this, Changsun Wuji paused and said, "For example, on the Lantern Festival some time ago, Madam Chai forced him to the dead end of his life with words, but he turned the tables completely with just one poem. Later, his talent and reputation spread throughout the city. Countless literati wanted to get to know him, and the powerful and powerful in the court also wanted to invite him to have a banquet in the mansion. Many noble women fell in love with him, but how did he do it?"
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin with a faint smile, and at this time Li Shimin also showed a meditative expression. After a moment, he said: "Faced with so many opportunities, Li Xiu hid in the villa of his third sister with his maid and gave up all the opportunities to make friends with others. If he really had a little fame and fortune, he would never do this no matter what!"
"Your Highness is right. Most of the talented people have some strange problems. Li Xiu is not interested in fame and fortune, so your highness naturally cannot impress him with fame and fortune. In addition, although he is recommended by the prince, he has never done anything to get close to the prince. Instead, he is quite close to His Highness. Based on my guess, he probably does not want to participate in the battle between His Highness and the prince!" Changsun Wuji is worthy of being Li Shimin's first think tank, and he analyzed Li Xiu's thoughts on just some things.
"If it's really like what Wuji said, then Li Xiu and his father Li Jing are really similar. They both plan to stand in the middle and not help each other!" Li Xiu finally calmed down at this time, and after saying that, he sat next to Changsun Wuji and said.
"It's not exactly the same. Although Li Jing and some ministers in the court are neutral, they actually have their own selfish intentions. In the future, no matter who can ascend the throne by the crown prince or His Highness, they will turn to the victorious side. However, Li Xiu is unwilling to be fame and fortune. In his eyes, no matter who ascends the throne, it has little to do with him. As the saying goes, no desire is strong, I am talking about people like Li Xiu, and I feel inferior to this point!" Changsun Wuji added again, in fact, he was a little confused. Why did Li Xiu have such a mentality at a young age?
Li Shimin also understood what Changsun Wuji meant. He saw that he pondered for a moment and still said unwillingly: "But Li Xiu is indeed a rare talent. It would be a pity to let it go!"
"Just just a water truck, didn't those craftsmen say that this water truck is simpler than the original water truck. They are confident that they can build it better. With them, I won't cause trouble. After all, I have no doubt about hiring people, and I have to give them space to play freely!" Li Xiu explained seriously. Of course, only he himself knows whether this is true or false.
"You guys have many fallacies, but you are lazy and you are lazy. Today, the water truck has been built. I'm afraid you don't know it yet?" Mr. Ma lying on the top of his head, he raised his eyelids, looked at Li Xiu indifferently and said.
"Uh? It's already built? Why is it so fast?" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this. He had visited the construction of the water truck three days ago. Although the structure of the water truck was simpler, he made great changes to some parts, so he thought the craftsmen would take some time to explore, but he didn't expect it to be built in just three days.
"Do you think those craftsmen are as lazy as you? They are divided into several shifts to take turns to work day and night. Finally, they built a water truck today and are transporting it to the river. I'm here to notify you!" Mr. Ma finally sat up at this time, then gave Li Xiu a blank look.
"Hehe, what are you waiting for? I'll go and see how the water truck is effective?" Li Xiu said as he was about to go out. He was also very excited about the effect of the water truck. If it was feasible, the first one who benefited was his and Princess Pingyang's family.
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you something!" Mr. Ma suddenly called Li Xiu.
"What's the matter?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and stopped and asked.
"The weather is getting warmer now, what should we do with our greenhouse?" Ma Ye said, and the income from the greenhouse also scared him. It has now become the most profitable industry in the Princess' Mansion, but after the weather is warm, the business may not be able to do it anymore.
"Haha~, Uncle Ma is feeling sorry for this business, right?" Li Xiu also saw Ma Master's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, Ma Master, who has always been generous, would feel sorry for the money.
"You kid is just a full person and the whole family is not hungry, but our princess has a big family and has more people and spends more money. She had a greenhouse business before and was very affordable, but now she suddenly disappeared. She always feels a little empty!" Mr. Ma was revealed by Li Xiu, and he couldn't help but say angrily, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and the princess's mansion faces this big problem.
"Okay, don't feel sorry for you. After a while, I will think of other ways to make money when I have time. Then we will be the same rules!" Li Xiu smiled again, and making money to him said that it was really not a difficult thing.
