On the carriage back to Chang'an, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling:
"Xuanling, what do you think of Qin Ming?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said:
"Qin Ming is a man of great talent."
Li Shimin wanted to hear the Fang Xiang's opinion, so he said:
"How can I see it?"
Fang Xuanling replied:
"From that sentence, the merits are in the present time, but the benefit will be in the future. It can be seen that this person cares about his family and country, and does not care about personal gains and losses."
"And as a countryman, he can analyze the current situation and come up with the dilemma that His Majesty faced back then, which shows that this person is wise and good at reasoning and analysis."
"So Wei Chen feels that he is a talent that can be made."
Li Shimin pondered for a while and said:
"Well... I also think this guy Qin Ming is very interesting. The furniture and food he made are very good."
"By the way, here are the drawings that guy Qin Ming gave me just now. Bring them over to me for a look."
Fang Xuanling quickly took out the drawings from the cabinet in the carriage and handed them to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took it and took a look at it. He couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Xuanling, come and see, these drawings are very clear, and the sizes are also marked."
"It can be seen from this that Qin Ming's painting skills are very high, but I don't know how he is good at other paintings."
"And Xuan Ling, if you look at such thin lines, you don't know what kind of brush he used to draw them."
Fang Xuanling took the drawings and looked at them carefully.
He looked at the small but clear lines and the tiny characters written in charcoal, and praised:
"Well, the painting is indeed exquisite. I can't tell what kind of brush it was painted with, and the calligraphy is also very good."
Suddenly Fang Xuanling seemed to have discovered something and said:
"Your Majesty, you see this is not written in ink."
Li Shimin gently rubbed the handwriting with his hand, looked at the mark on his hand and said:
"This should be charcoal, I just don't know how it was made."
Fang Xuanling said at this time:
"Well, no matter how it is done, Wei Chen thinks that this method of drawing drawings can be used by the Ministry of Industry as a reference for future drawings."
"Whether it's paving roads and building bridges, or making weapons and armor, drawing in this style should improve their production progress."
Li Shimin handed the drawing to Fang Xuanling and said:
"What I say makes sense."
"I just thought of this."
"After I get back, I will give the drawings to the Ministry of Industry and ask them to make new tables and chairs as soon as possible."
Fang Xuanling took the drawings respectfully and said:
"Yes, Wei Chen will make arrangements after he returns."
Li Shimin watched Fang Xuanling put away the drawings, stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"This Qin Ming is really mysterious in everything. The things he took out are things we have never come into contact with before. Next time we come, we must ask him how he made the pictures with carbon."
"Maybe there will be novel brushes, and maybe we can promote them together at the Ministry of Industry."
Fang Xuanling also laughed when he heard this and said:
"Then, Your Majesty, you must bring me with you next time you come. I want to try their braised pork again."
"Hey. If it weren't for this kid being too lazy and not wanting to be an official. Wei Chen really wanted him to join the Shangshu Province. There are so many files in the Shangshu Province every day. With that kid's analytical skills, coming to the Shangshu Province should help a lot. busy."
When Li Shimin heard this, he also felt that if Qin Ming really entered the court as an official, he would probably bring some surprises to him.
Thinking of the reason why Qin Ming didn't want to go to court, he thought it was too hard to go to court in the morning, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
However, such a capable and unambitious person is what he, the emperor, most wants to use.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile:
"It's not up to him to decide whether he should be an official or not. I have many ways to make him submit."
"I'm looking forward to the day when he knows my identity. Haha."
Fang Xuanling said:
"Yeah, just don't scare him then, haha."
Accompanied by laughter and startled sparrows, the carriage drove quickly to Chang'an under the protection of a group of Jinwu guards.
...
In Qinjiazhuang, after seeing off the guests, Qin Ming took Wan'er to a busy construction site at the edge of the village.
In the 30 acres of land that had been set aside by the housekeeper, Lao Huang, there were about 30 tenant farmers currently busy building the earth frame of the greenhouse.
This greenhouse is an industry that Qin Ming planned early on.
As a modern man, he cannot bear to eat only meat in winter.
Qin Ming had already started planning to build a greenhouse as early as the autumn harvest.
Of course, in addition to eating it yourself, the vegetables you grow can also be transported to Chang'an City for sale. In this case, your family can have an additional industry.
After all, Qin Ming wants to live a luxurious life, and it is definitely not enough to rely solely on family wealth.
What's more, there was no entertainment in ancient times.
The long nights are long, and I always have no intention of sleeping.
At such a young age, Wan'er would definitely not refuse if she was asked to warm the bed, but Qin Ming really couldn't do it.
It can only be kept for a few years before eating.
Fortunately, in this day and age, you could buy slaves.
When I go to Chang'an in the future, I will definitely buy some girls back.
Of course, buying a girl requires money, so if you want to live a simple and unpretentious life with a lovely wife and beautiful concubines "surrounding you", you need to earn more money.
Qin Ming arrived at the construction site and found Lao Huang and asked:
"Old Huang, how is the overall construction progress now?"
Old Huang cupped his hands and said:
"Going back to the master, judging from the current situation, the construction will be completed in two days."
"But Master, I asked you before what the purpose of building these walls was, but you never told me."
"It's almost finished now. Can you talk to me now? I can arrange the next things."
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Well, it's time to tell you that I am going to grow various vegetables in thirty acres of land."
Lao Huang and Wan'er were both surprised when they heard this:
"Growing vegetables?"
"Growing vegetables?"
"Sir, are you kidding me?"
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"I'm not kidding. To tell you the truth, I had a very long dream a few days ago."
"There are greenhouses like this in my dream, and vegetables can grow even in winter."
Wan'er asked worriedly:
"A dream? I've never heard the young master mention this dream before. And can the things in the dream really come true?"
Qin Ming looked at Wan'er who looked worried and Lao Huang who looked disbelieving, and said seriously:
"I can't explain what happened in the dream. It's just that in the dream, a fairy-like old man with a white beard told me that the reason why vegetables can't be grown in winter is because of the cold weather. Come and take a look."
As he spoke, he led the two of them to a large shed with a frame already built.
Wan'er saw that this was an open space with three walls.
One wall is more than twenty feet long, and the height is about one foot. The other two walls are about five feet long, and the height decreases from the top of the other wall to the ground.
Against the longer wall, there is a row of earth walls built at the bottom, almost three feet high.
