"Old Fang, look, I've brought back all the melons in your county!"
At the door of Fang Mansion, Li Yuanzhao grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth and a stern look on his face.
Liu Jin stood beside him, glancing at Watermelon from time to time, his eyes showing longing.
Looking at the two cars of watermelons parked in front of his house, Fang Zheng was speechless and choked.
I didn’t expect that Li Yuanzhao would really sell melons!
Speaking of watermelons in Taoyuan County, he really never cared much about them.
Almost all the crops up and down the landscape were different from the crops he had seen before traveling through, even very different!
After hundreds of thousands of years in later generations, or decades or even years after the development of science and technology, the crops cultivated and domesticated have changed in a direction suitable for human tastes.
But this is not the case with this original variety!
Its only instinct is to spread the seeds without considering its own taste. It's really abominable!
Especially those obscene fruits, headed by watermelon, shocked Fang Zheng.
It’s neither watery nor sweet, and it doesn’t have much meat either. It’s all hollow!
So he never cares about this melon!
But the county's Department of Agriculture and a group of old folks seemed to be extremely interested in melons.
I have to work tirelessly to plant melons every year.
I don’t know when these two carts of melons were planted... but they were actually obtained by the prince.
Ever since Li Yuanzhao had the idea of selling melons last time, he was out of control.
I didn’t expect it to be real this time!
Fang Zhengyi had a headache when he thought of the prince selling melons in the palace.
It doesn’t look like it, it’s getting more and more sideways as you go!
If I make the emperor's father-in-law unhappy, should I marry the princess?
Li Yuanzhao saw that Fang Zheng was stunned and didn't respond, so he couldn't help but urge: "Old Fang, are we going to the palace to sell melons tomorrow?"
"Your Highness, you brought all the melons in my county to you? Did you give me the money?"
"I asked Liu Jin to buy it, and he said it didn't cost any money and it was given for free!"
Fang Zhengyi looked at Liu Jin in confusion.
Liu Jin hurriedly explained: "I said Master Fang wanted to eat melons, so they picked all the melons."
"..."
Use my name to lie to me! You have to sell it for money!
Is it possible for a person to do such a thing?
Fang Zheng said with a smile, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being beaten by His Majesty when you set up a stall in the palace?"
"Didn't we sell glasses last time?" Li Yuanzhao asked with his eyes widened: "Have you forgotten?"
"Glasses are glasses! Those things are a necessity! It's about eating and not eating. Who's missing out on this?"
"If His Majesty finds out, he will whip you! If Your Majesty has to sell it, why don't you just sell it in the workshop?" Fang Zhengyi asked.
"Fangli? I'm going to sell these melons for ten taels each. Who in the market can afford it? Just tell me whether you want to go or not!" Li Yuanzhao urged.
After hearing the price, Fang Zheng started to think about it.
Ten taels is not expensive! Because it is sold at this price in my own county, the output is scarce and only wealthy people will buy it.
So it's not outrageous.
But why bother? Anyway, it’s my melon!
"Your Highness, tell me how much money you are short of. Don't be polite to me!" Fang Zheng said, patting his chest.
Li Yuanzhao frowned immediately, stepped forward and pulled Fang Zhengyi into the courtyard.
"Old Fang, I'm not short of money, and I don't have any place to spend it. I just want to sell melons."
"Why?" Fang Zhengyi was confused.
Are you so obsessed with selling melons? Did you run a fruit stall in your last life?
Li Yuanzhao looked a little embarrassed: "Didn't we sell glasses last time? I feel pretty good. This time I want to try selling melons! I really want to sell them!"
"I have been taught by those masters since I was a child. Although they did not say it clearly, I have already seen it. They think that I can't do anything! But I have wanted to fight on the battlefield and achieve great things since I was a child! Unfortunately, there is no such thing. This opportunity.”
"You always stand behind me when I go out to do things. This time I just want to sell melons to them for them to see!"
Fang Zheng couldn't help but nodded.
"But selling melons is not a big deal. The ministers will have opinions!"
Li Yuanzhao stood there in silence for a while, then took a deep breath and explained: "I have been in the palace for so long, and I found that it is better to start with small things! To be honest, the masters and ministers in the palace I have been scolding me since I was a child. To be honest, I am a little afraid of them. They always tell me what a wise king is and what a wise king should do."
"I will follow the path they have drawn for me. If I make any mistakes, I will be scolded. Even my father will help them!"
"But who can explain what Mingjun should be like? I also study history, but the history books never clearly explain what Mingjun must be like."
"Last time we went to sell glasses, I discovered that those ministers were actually just like that. Their vision was also limited. Aren't they just being fooled?"
"So I don't want to be arranged by them! Whether they have any objections or not, I'll treat it as nothing!"
"I think, in fact, doing business is another kind of game. If I sell the melon to them, I will win!" Li Yuanzhao said this, with an angry expression gradually appearing on his face.
Fang Zheng stood in awe for a moment and couldn't help but extend his thumb.
The prince has been trained by a group of old antiques since he was a child. It is rare to be able to maintain the temperament and way of thinking he has today.
It stands to reason that people in this era are very precocious, and it is very normal for them to become the master at the age of fourteen or five.
Especially since Li Yuanzhao is an adult, he still behaves like a child in some places.
An attitude of not admitting defeat, the ability to learn quickly, strong curiosity, and innocent character...
This is definitely not naive, Fang Zhengyi understands this state.
He was familiar with success studies in his previous life, and Li Yuanzhao's state is likely to be "neotenous persistence".
This quality is usually innate and difficult to develop.
People who possess the characteristic of neoteny are often more likely to succeed.
Observing and engaging with the world like a child makes it easier to take risks and explore new territories.
Mencius once said: "A great man is one who has not lost his innocent heart." This means that people who can achieve great things have a heart as pure as a child.
Although the prince said well, Fang Zhengyi did not intend to take this risk!
"Your Highness is right! I admire you from the bottom of my heart, but you can just go by yourself? There is no need to bring me with you."
"If you're not with me, I don't know what's going on!"
"..."
"If my father beats me, you have to defend me."
"..."
"If you accompany me, I won't tell Miaohan about your mess with your maid."
Fang Zheng was agitated: "Wait a minute! When did I have sex with the maid? You have to provide evidence!! Be careful, I will sue you for slander! You are slandering me!"
Li Yuanzhao shrugged: "It's the voice of my heart, I heard it! As for whether Miaohan believes it or not, I don't know!"
wipe! Let you learn!
I think you have figured this out thoroughly!
Fang Zheng felt his teeth itching with hatred, you traitor! He actually learned my skills and was the first to deal with me!
