"Lao Fang, look, I brought back all the melons from your county!"
At the gate of Fang's house, Li Yuanzhao grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth and looking smug.
Liu Jin stood beside him, glancing at Xigua from time to time with longing in his eyes.
Looking at the two trucks of watermelons parked in front of his house, Fang Zheng was speechless.
I didn’t expect Li Yuanzhao really wanted to sell melons!
When it comes to the watermelons in Taoyuan County, he really has never cared much about them.
Almost all the crops in Dajing are different from the crops he saw before he traveled through time, and they are even very different!
After hundreds or thousands of years, or decades or even years of technological development, crops that have been bred and domesticated have changed in a direction that suits human tastes.
But this original variety is not like this!
Its only instinct is to spread its seeds without considering its own taste at all. It's really hateful!
Especially those obscene fruits, led by watermelon, which surprised Fang Zheng.
Not only is it not juicy or sweet, but there isn't much meat on it either, it's all hollow!
So he never cares about this melon!
However, the county's Agriculture Bureau and that group of old country bumpkins seemed to be extremely interested in melons.
I grow melons diligently every year.
No one knows when these two carts of melons were planted...but they were actually taken by the prince.
Ever since Li Yuanzhao had the idea of selling melons last time, he has been unable to stop.
I didn't expect it to be real this time!
Fang Zhengyi got a headache when he thought about the prince selling melons in the palace.
It doesn't look good, it's going further and further off the track!
What if I make the emperor, my father-in-law, unhappy? Should I still marry the princess?
Seeing Fang Zheng standing there in a daze, Li Yuanzhao could not help but urge him, "Old Fang, shall we go to the palace to sell melons tomorrow?"
"Your Highness, did you bring all the melons from my county here? Did you pay me?"
"I asked Liu Jin to buy it, and he said it was free!"
Fang Zhengyi looked at Liu Jin in confusion.
Liu Jin hurriedly explained: "I said Lord Fang wanted to eat melons, so they picked all the melons."
"............"
Using my name to steal my melons! And then selling them for money!
Is it a human being who would do such a thing?
Fang Zheng said with a fake smile: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being beaten by His Majesty for setting up a stall in the palace?"
"Didn't we sell glasses last time?" Li Yuanzhao asked with his eyes wide open, "Did you forget?"
"Glasses are glasses! That thing is a necessity! This is a food that can be eaten or not. Who needs it?"
"If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely beat you! If Your Highness must sell it, can't you just sell it in the market?" Fang Zhengyi asked.
"In the market? I'm going to sell this melon for ten taels each. Who in the market can afford it? Just tell me whether you want to go or not!" Li Yuanzhao urged.
When Fang Zheng heard the price, he began to ponder.
Ten taels, not expensive! Because this is the price in my county, and the production is rare, so only rich people will buy it.
So it’s not outrageous.
But why bother? It's mine anyway!
"Your Highness, just 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, walked forward and pulled Fang Zhengyi into the yard.
"Lao Fang, I'm not short of money, and I don't have much to spend it on, I just want to sell melons."
"Why?" Fang Zheng was confused.
Are you so obsessed with selling melons? Did you run a fruit stand in your previous life?
Li Yuanzhao seemed a little embarrassed: "Didn't we sell glasses last time? I felt pretty good about it. This time I want to try selling melons! I really want to sell them!"
"I have been taught by those masters since I was young. Although they didn't say it explicitly, I could see it a long time ago. They thought I couldn't accomplish anything! But I have always wanted to fight on the battlefield and achieve great things since I was young! Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity at all."
"You always stand behind me when I do things. This time I just want to sell the melons to them so that they can see!"
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but nodded.
"But selling melons is not a big deal. The ministers will have objections!"
Li Yuanzhao stood there in silence for a while, then he let out a long breath and explained, "I have been in the market for so long, and I found that it is better to start with small things! To be honest, those masters and ministers in the palace have scolded me since I was a child. To be honest, I am a little afraid of them. They always tell me what a wise ruler is and what a wise ruler should do."
"I will follow the path they have drawn for me. If I do not follow the path, I will be scolded. Even my father is helping them!"
"But who can explain what a wise ruler should be like? I have read history books, but they never clearly state what a wise ruler must be like."
"Last time when we went to sell glasses, I found that those ministers were just like that. Their vision was limited. Aren't they fooled?"
"So I don't want to be controlled by them! I will just ignore their opinions!"
\"I think that doing business is actually another kind of game. I will win if I sell the melons to them!" Li Yuanzhao said this, and an indignant expression gradually appeared on his face.
Fang Zheng was suddenly filled with awe and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
The prince has been trained by a group of old-timers since he was young, and it is quite rare for him to maintain his current temperament and way of thinking.
Logically speaking, people of this era mature particularly early, and it is very normal for them to be the head of the family at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Especially since Li Yuanzhao was already an adult, but he still behaved like a child in some places.
