"What?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou paused slightly and looked up at Li Er.
"Brother Qin, oh no, Your Majesty, this is not allowed!"
Being the prince's teacher is like walking into a tiger's den!
Zhuang Zhou doesn't want to get involved in court affairs.
When he came to this world, Zhuang Zhou only wanted to pursue his career and become rich.
He didn't want to get involved in the court intrigues at all.
What a joke!
If you engage in power struggles under the rule of Emperor Li, you will die without knowing how.
Zhuang Zhou waved his hands quickly, deliberately showing a look of panic on his face:
"Brother Qin, I am just a businessman. How can I be the prince's teacher?
Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Li Er smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Zhuang Zhou, you don't have to be so modest.
I know your talent and ability. If the prince can get your guidance, he will definitely benefit greatly.
I hope you will consider this carefully."
Zhuang Zhou was silent for a while, with a complex emotion in his heart.
Of course he knows.
If you agree to become the prince's teacher, you will definitely face more challenges.
Of course there is also responsibility.
But Zhuang Zhou also understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just imagine if you could impart many of your modern ideas to the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
This will be of absolute significance to my future career development.
That’s all!
Once he became the prince's teacher.
There will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Zhuang Zhou was hesitant.
But now that we are involved, we have to do it more thoroughly.
Finally, Zhuang Zhou nodded:
“Okay, I do!
But, some things need to be said first.”
Li Er was slightly startled when he heard this:
"you say."
Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath and said slowly:
"I hope Your Majesty will allow me to hold a sinecure and not have to work in the palace. I prefer to be free and easy.
Besides, besides teaching the prince, I also have to continue to engage in business and farming."
Li Er burst into laughter when he heard this.
I thought it was some kind of request!
It would be better not to go to the palace.
So that Wei Zheng and others wouldn’t say too much.
There are also people engaged in business and farming, which is nothing at all.
"Okay! I promise you.
Not only can you continue to engage in business and farming, I will also help you expand your business to every prefecture, city and county in the Tang Dynasty. Such good things should not be limited to Chang'an.
In addition, I will have officials from the Ministry of Agriculture assist you in promoting your farming techniques throughout the country for the benefit of all people."
That would be great!
It is equivalent to opening branch stores of Zhuangji Grocery Store throughout the Tang Dynasty.
If this is officially promoted, the business will really get bigger!
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou bowed deeply and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!
I will live up to your majesty's trust and do my best to teach the prince.
Strive to promote agricultural technology and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty."
This is a performance that first suppresses and then praises.
Whether it's facial expressions or body movements.
They are all worthy of being called movie emperors!
…
Afterwards, Zhuang Zhou led Li Er to the cement road.
Now, following Zhuang Zhou's suggestion, construction has begun from Chang'an and Mount Li.
Moreover, the technology adopted is one-sided construction and one-sided traffic.
In this way, traffic will not be affected.
The common people were extremely grateful to the court for this move.
You have to know that in this day and age, the government can close the road for you with just one word.
I don't care what you ordinary people do.
This is a very trivial matter, but with a little more consideration, the meaning is often different.
Now cement roads have been paved outside the Lishan warehouse and greenhouse.
The road is flat, wide, clean and tidy.
The sunlight shines on the road, creating a faint luster that brightens the eyes.
Zhuang Zhou led Li Er for a leisurely stroll along the cement road.
Many fruit trees were planted along the road.
Now it has sprouted and bloomed, and looks particularly vibrant.
Li Er looked at it with great approval:
"Zhuang Zhou, what kind of trees are these?"
Zhuang Zhou blurted out:
"They are all fruit trees, like apple trees, pomegranate trees, cherry trees, date trees, mulberry trees..."
Various fruit trees are planted.
These will grow back later.
Zhuang Zhou can then take it back to Hyundai to buy it.
Now his business empire includes more than just jade and antiques.
Even agricultural planting is included.
The vegetables produced in the greenhouse will be directly supplied to Zhang Fei’s private restaurant in the future.
Fruits and vegetables that travel through time and space seem to have a unique flavor when eaten.
Anyway, the millet and wild rice that Zhuang Zhou purchased from Changan are very popular now.
Especially this wild rice, also called wild rice.
Before coming to Chang'an, Zhuang Zhou had never heard of this thing.
This is the seed of a plant called longzibai.
The long and black rice is fragrant, sticky and delicious when cooked into rice.
It is far superior to the so-called fragrant rice on the market.
Its unique taste and nutritional value make it stand out among many grains.
The coolest thing is that this thing is actually a royal tribute.
To put it bluntly, these are dishes that only royals and nobles can eat.
The value of this wild rice lies not only in its rarity, but also in the difficulty of its cultivation process.
Wild rice cultivation requires careful selection of fertile lakes, meticulous tillage and management.
In this era, most of them come from the wild.
