Li Yuan nodded while reading. After turning over ten pages, he closed the note and asked with a smile:
"Girl Jun, did you remember all of this?"
Yang Zijun nodded.
Li Yuan handed the notes back to Yang Zijun and praised:
"Okay, very good. If this rice can be successfully grown on Zhuangzi, it will become a new grain in the Tang Dynasty."
"Then rice will be promoted all over the world in the future. I wonder if your notes will be of great use!"
Yang Zijun took the note with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Then Jun'er will borrow the old man's good words!"
Queen Changsun on the side glanced at the smiling Li Shimin next to her, and then at the eldest daughter who was holding Li Yuan's arm with a sad expression.
And Princess Yuzhang stood next to Qin Ming with an excited look on her face.
He sighed deeply in his heart, and his eyes gradually became serious as he looked at Yang Zijun.
Qin Ming then answered:
"My grandfather is right. After Zijun's notebook is completed, I plan to revise it into a volume, print it as a book and sell it at a low price. This will make it much easier for the people of the Tang Dynasty to grow rice."
Yang Zijun's eyes lit up when she heard this. If her notebook can be published in a book and spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely help more people get rid of the life of starvation.
If there really is such a day in the future!
Father Huangquanxiayouzhi will definitely be proud of her!
Thinking of this, Yang Zijun said happily:
"Do you really mean what you said?"
Qin Ming smiled and nodded.
"really."
Yang Zijun straightened her clothes and bowed to Qin Ming:
"Zijun thanks you for your great kindness."
Qin Ming smiled and helped Yang Zijun up, and said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Thank you. It's only I who should thank you!"
Yang Zijun's eyes turned red when he heard this, he lowered his head and clutched the notebook in his hand tightly.
At this moment, Xiao Qingwan walked into the courtyard, saluted Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, lunch is ready. Do you think you will eat in the restaurant, or?"
Qin Ming turned to Li Shimin with a smile and said:
"Uncle Li, what do you think?"
Li Shimin stroked his short beard, turned to Li Yuan and said:
"Old man, what do you think?"
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin angrily, then turned to look at Queen Changsun and said:
"Queen, you and Lizhi and the others can have dinner in my small courtyard, and the rest of us will go to the restaurant."
Queen Changsun nodded when she heard this and said:
"Okay, just do as you say, old man."
After speaking, Li Yuan led Qin Ming and others out of the small courtyard, while Yang Zijun and Mao Tu followed Xiao Changxi back to Qingxin Courtyard.
.....
Qin Ming spent this morning dealing with various trivial matters such as building cement roads, and was busy receiving Li Shimin and others. He was already starving.
The same was true for Li Shimin and Li Yuan, so after the three of them sat down, they opened their cheeks and started to feast.
A few moments,
Li Yuan asked casually while holding dishes:
"My grandson, why did the Duke of Qi come to the house? He's not really here to discuss coal sales, is he?"
Qin Ming put down his chopsticks when he heard Li Yuan's question. He glanced at Li Shimin first and saw him nodding.
Qin Ming then showed a look of regret on his face, sighed and said:
"Hey, you really have a keen eye and a clear eye. Qi Guogong is really not here for the coal business. It seems that this matter is quite sudden."
"The eldest son of the Duke of Qi, Changsun Chong, caught wind and cold yesterday and is still in a coma. Even the medical order from the Imperial Medical Office is restrained, so he made a special trip to invite Dean Sun."
Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, but silently praised Qin Ming in his heart.
You kid can do it! They look pretty similar!
If I hadn't known the inside story, I would have been fooled by your pitiful appearance!
I want to see how long you can keep pretending.
"Are you sure you just caught the cold?"
Qin Ming picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, thought about it and said:
"Oh, Qi Guogong said that he fell down yesterday. It is said to be quite serious. I don't know where he fell from."
Li Yuan took a chopstick and put it into his mouth, turned his eyes to Qin Ming, and said lightly:
"Maybe it fell from the woman's belly, maybe it fell!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming and Li Shimin spit out the food in their mouths.
After wiping his mouth, Qin Ming looked at Li Yuan and said sadly:
"Old man, what you said is too much!"
"Changsun Chongna is the eldest son of the dignified Duke of Qi, and the future heir of the Longxi aristocratic Changsun family! Your Majesty and the Queen's nephew!"
"Not only do you come from a famous family, but you are also handsome and a perfect bachelor. If you keep saying that, you are not a bad person! You can't talk nonsense!"
After speaking, Qin Ming turned to look at Li Shimin and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, the old man drank too much and is talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
Li Shimin wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at Li Yuan suspiciously.
He didn't expect that his father would be so well-informed. What happened in Chang'an City yesterday would be known to him today.
Who sent the letter to my father?
Li Yuan saw Li Shimin's little thoughts at a glance.
I cursed in my heart, damn, I was just here to watch this kid act, and I forgot about this unfilial son!
Thinking of this, he glared at Li Shimin, then reached out and patted Qin Ming's head, saying angrily:
"You're a coward, you know nothing!"
Qin Ming rubbed his head and said angrily:
"Old man, why did you hit me?"
Li Yuan said angrily:
"What's wrong with hitting you? I'm your grandfather, so I can't hit you anymore?"
"Besides, I was right about what I just said. That boy Changsun Chong originally fell on the woman's belly."
Qin Ming was confused when he heard this. How did the old man know this?
He looked at Li Yuan with a puzzled look and asked:
"Old man, don't talk nonsense! Uncle Li is here to listen!"
Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then echoed:
"Yes, old man."
Li Yuan smiled mysteriously, picked up the empty wine bowl and shook it towards Qin Ming, obviously asking Qin Ming to pour him more drinks.
Qin Ming was really curious, so he had to pick up his wine bowl and pour a small sip for Li Yuan.
Li Yuan said angrily:
"Come here again! I've never seen you so fussy!"
Qin Ming took back his wine bowl, rolled his eyes, and said angrily:
"You always like to talk, but you can't drink too much of this wine anyway!"
Seeing this, Li Yuan could only take back the wine bowl and said, "Hey, forget it, I won't argue with you little bastard."
Li Shimin's eyes almost popped out of his head as he watched. How did Qin Ming do it?
He knows better than anyone else that since his father abdicated, he has been drinking and having fun every day. If he is not mistaken, his father only drank two ounces just now.
Seeing that Li Yuan was still reluctant to speak, Qin Ming frowned and said:
"Old man, are you going to tell me or not?"
