"Mr. Zili, I'm here!"
Not only did Cheng Yaojin come, he also brought his two sons with him.
Brothers Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi came over.
Moreover, the two brothers each carried a large basket.
Li Min was confused, what was he doing?
Are you going out to work? Then what are you doing here again:
Then he asked: "Uncle Cheng, what are you doing?"
Cheng Yaojin said:
"I heard that you have a lot of fresh vegetables here. Come and take a look. By the way, let these two boys practice the hard work of carrying vegetables and let them experience the hard work! Otherwise, I have never seen what some vegetables look like in my whole life. Yes! By the way, where is the greenhouse? Take me there!?"
Shameless, really shameless.
Among the entire Tang Dynasty, after Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin was the most shameless.
If you want vegetables, just ask.
Do you want to push such words to your two sons?
They also said they needed to exercise.
Damn it, he just wants to eat vegetables!
Cheng Yaojin was also afraid that the food given by Li Min was based on per capita. With the friendship between his two sons and Li Min, plus his own, he would definitely be able to get more, and Li Min had never been stingy. Two baskets were considered small. .
Li Min didn't answer him, but Cheng Yaojin grabbed Zhu Shan and said, "Zhu Shan, where are the vegetables? Take me there quickly! Don't bother Mr. Zili, don't look at them!"
How dare Zhu Shan lead Cheng Yaojin without Li Min's nod?
He just looked at Li Min, hoping to get confirmation from him.
But Li Min was unhappy.
"Uncle Cheng, if Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi want to exercise, you can ask them to come to my tenement building to move bricks. The tenement building is still being renovated, especially those who need to move bricks. You have even prepared your things and can start directly. ! I can guarantee that after seven days, their physical fitness will become extremely good!"
"This...that...I think it's better to forget it!"
Cheng Yaojin hesitated.
Obviously, the performance just now was too clumsy.
"Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chubi, do you have any opinions?"
In fact, the two of them refused. Cheng Yaojin asked them to come, and they didn't want to.
It would be nice if Cheng Yaojin could handle this embarrassing thing alone.
They don't want to be embarrassed by coming here.
But Cheng Yaojin kept asking the two of them to come over, so they had to come!
"Mr. Zili, in fact, we have been training in the West Market recently, so there is no need. If there is nothing else, I would like to go back to the West Market for a visit!"
Cheng Chubi said this.
"I'm going to help my brother too! Go first!"
They want to escape from here and don't want to be with Cheng Yaojin. That would be so embarrassing!
The two were about to leave.
But he was stopped by Cheng Yaojin.
"What are you doing? Come back! Did I nod?"
The two of them were frozen, how could they dare to leave?
Had to come back.
"Father...we..."
The two of them were hesitant to speak.
"Everyone is standing still! No one is allowed to move!"
The two of them didn't dare to move.
But Cheng Yaojin smiled apologetically and said: "Mr. Zili, as far as I know, your vegetables are growing very well. Can you let me have a look? How about just taking a look?"
"Did he tell you that?"
Li Min asked directly.
It must have been Li Shimin's fault because he didn't give him too many vegetables, so he told Cheng Yaojin?
Or maybe it was because the colored glaze he sold was so expensive that Li Shimin couldn't do it anymore.
So, let Cheng Yaojin come to him for vegetables?
Or is it that Li Shimin wanted Cheng Yaojin to produce more vegetables, and then he would cut them off and reward them to meritorious officials? To show that you value it?
No matter what, Li Min would not agree.
My three acres of land are very precious.
Vegetables cannot be given to others casually.
Even Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun got a little later, but they didn't get much. This Cheng Yaojin was so courageous, and he had a big heart, so he came directly with two big baskets.
"Mr. Zili, let's not talk about that. Actually, it's because... I've eaten too much meat recently and I'm tired of it. Those vegetables..."
Li Min did not let Cheng Yaojin continue, but said:
"If he wants vegetables, let him come by himself! Zhushan, see off the guests!"
Since Cheng Yaojin didn't tell the truth, Li Min had nothing to say.
Now it’s time to see off the guests.
"General Cheng, please!"
How could Cheng Yaojin agree?
"Yes, yes, I can't help myself! Your Majesty asked me to come!"
"You could have just said no! It's a waste of time and energy!"
Li Min's tone softened slightly.
"I don't want to either!"
Cheng Yaojin said.
"What did he say to you?"
"Is it okay to get the vegetables just by telling me?"
Cheng Yaojin asked rhetorically.
"It depends on my mood! Tell me, what did he say to you?"
"Your Majesty said, let me get some vegetables from you and bring them to the palace, saying that they will be rewarded to the meritorious people in the palace. You know, vegetables are more expensive than gold now, and they cost hundreds of taels of silver. You can't even buy them. , if used as a reward, it will definitely stabilize people's hearts and make ministers feel that they are valued. Your Majesty is lending flowers to the Buddha!"
The emperor has many tricks, and this is just one of them. But take your own things and give them to others, just show off! This is not right! Li Min deeply hated Li Shimin's behavior!
"He is so greedy! I kindly helped him and supplied him with vegetables, but he kept thinking about my three acres of fields. My fields were not enough for him! Why should I use my things to make him look good? So, you go back and tell him not to come! Also, I will reduce the number of dishes for one person tomorrow!"
Cheng Yaojin was quite embarrassed.
His two sons stood there blankly.
Is this still their father?
Why doesn't it look like it?
"Mr. Zili, don't be angry. Your Majesty doesn't want to. It's just that something happened at the Wen Tang Prison. Some vegetables were heated to death, and there are some rewards coming recently. Your Majesty has no choice, so he asked me to come over. I'm here to ask for food. I know I shouldn't have come like this, and I had to discuss it with you in advance. This is my fault, it's my fault!"
This Cheng Yaojin should still be controlled by Li Shimin.
Some time ago, he looked down on Li Shimin and was severely criticized by Li Er, and today's incident was his opportunity to compare merit with crime.
So, here he comes.
He also came with two large baskets.
"Don't do this nonsense, I don't believe it! Just go back and let him come. If he doesn't come, you don't have to take away this dish!"
Li Min said so.
He knew that Li Shimin would not come forward on his own initiative.
Even if he dared to come over, he would still have a way to defeat him.
Let him be ashamed, let him have no face to stay here.
Cheng Yaojin was helpless.
But at this time, a person appeared and things took a turn for the better.
