Chapter 379 Undercurrent surging
Chapter 379
Li Guan laughed and said, "What I saw and heard along the way is really different from before! I also talked to the people I met along the way, and the people praised Uncle Seventeen and Prefect Zhang!"
As he spoke, Li Guan suddenly thought of something, turned around and pointed to the back, and asked, "Uncle Seventeen, I see that there are many small trees growing in the fields over there, that is... sugarcane?"
When Li Guan asked about sugarcane, Li Yu suddenly felt energetic.
He said proudly: "Yes, everything planted there is sugarcane! From being buried in the ground to breaking out of the ground, and then being so tall now, the prince guess how long it will take!"
Looking at Li Yu's smug look, Li Guan smiled secretly in his heart.
My uncle is only seventeen years old after all, and he is still a young man.
He deliberately catered to Li Yu, thought about it in a pretentious manner, and said, "Is it not a year or two to grow up so tall now?"
"Hahaha!"
Li Yu laughed, stretched out a finger, and said, "One month! It only takes one month from planting seeds to growing them!"
Li Guan had long heard of Li Yu hiring a sorcerer to give birth to sugarcane, and he also knew that sugarcane could grow in just one month.
Looking at Li Yu's eyebrows and his elated look, Li Guan exclaimed: "It's amazing to grow in just one month! No wonder Uncle Seventeen can make a fortune! I heard that Uncle Seventeen is making a fortune now!"
Li Yu laughed again, and the smug look on his face became stronger.
He said, "I dare say that even if I have not invited all the wood and water warriors in our Great Zhou, I have to have 40% or 50% of them here!"
Li Guan listened carefully.
Speaking of which, once these wood-type sorcerers and water-type sorcerers who are responsible for the birth of sugarcane are on the battlefield, they are also a fighting force that cannot be underestimated!
Li Yu continued: "It's a pity that our Great Zhou has always valued martial arts but neglected magic. Some time ago, I was still thinking about whether to continue to move westward to conquer the god tribe of Xiaoyang Kingdom. There are many warlocks gathered there!"
Li Guan smiled and said, "If Uncle Seventeen's plan is successful, will Uncle Seventeen's business be bigger in the future?"
When Li Yu heard this, he became more and more happy, so happy that his mouth couldn't be closed.
Seeing this, Li Guan became more and more at ease, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.
The emperor, and even the crown prince, were not afraid of the vassal kings doing business and making money, nor were they afraid of the vassal kings who were all determined to make a fortune.
What they fear most was that the vassal kings had ambitions and covetousness for the throne.
Seeing that Li Yu and Li Guan wanted to have a good chat, Li Kai, Li Jia and Li Jingyuan's faces were not very good-looking.
They have lived in the Wu Palace for a while, but these days, Uncle Seventeen has never talked or laughed at them like this.
Obviously, Li Yu is much closer to Li Guan than to them.
In fact, it is not that Li Yu and Li Guan are so close, but that Li Guan happened to talk about the topic that Li Yu is interested in.
Li Yuan smiled beside him and said, "Seventeenth brother, this is not a place to speak. Let's go back to the palace to talk!"
"Yes, yes! Let's go back to the palace first!"
Li Yu took Li Guan and others to return to his Wu Palace.
Li Guan is very good at betting on others' preferences. Seeing that Li Yu was interested in business, he kept raising the topic in this regard.
really.
When it comes to making money through business, Li Yu was very excited and talked endlessly.
When the prince arrived, Li Yu of course had to treat him warmly. He also asked Hua Meier to cook a few special dishes.
During the meal, Li Ju praised Hua Meier's cooking skills.
He smiled at Li Yu and said, "Uncle Seventeen is so lucky. He can eat the delicious food made by Miss Hua every day! When he was in the capital, many people said that Uncle Seventeen was ridiculous and kept a courtesan, but in fact, the person who said these words was too ignorant!"
Li Yu laughed up from his back.
Li Guan turned his head, looked at Hua Meier at the other table, and smiled and said, "If Miss Hua has such good craftsmanship, why not introduce it to me!"
Hua Mei'er's cheeks were slightly red and she said with a smile: "The prince was joking."
"I'm not joking! But Uncle Seventeen is so envious of me!"
Seeing that Li Guan was able to please Li Yu and please the women around Li Yu, Li Kai and Li Jia were like needles and needles, and food was like chewing wax.
On the contrary, Li Jingyuan kept smiling. She said happily: "Brother Prince, Jingyuan can cook, so why not let Jingyuan make it for Prince Brother!"
you?
I'm really afraid that you will poison me and kill me!
Li Guan beat him up and didn't answer Li Jingyuan's words at all.
Li Yu was laughing on the surface, but in fact, he was also secretly observing the interaction between Li Guan and Li Kai, Li Jia and Li Jingyuan.
The four of them were too lazy to maintain their seemingly politeness.
When Li Guan looked at Li Kai, Li Jia, and Li Jingyuan, his eyes were cold.
When Li Kai and Li Jia looked at Li Guan, their expressions and expressions were full of defense and hostility.
Li Kai was still in front of him and swore that as long as he could pull Li Jue off the throne, he would support Li Guan to succeed the throne.
Now, this is probably just his excuse.
The Nine Kings could not support Li Guan’s succession. Even if they did, they would just treat Li Guan as a temporary puppet.
In the future, when the time is right, the Nine Kings will still pull Li Guan off the throne and replace him by himself.
The female family member at another table, Li Jingyuan, stood up with a wine glass and walked to the man's table.
She saluted Li Guanfu and said, "Brother Prince, Jingyuan wishes you a cup!"
Li Guan really didn't want to drink Li Jingyuan's toast, but he couldn't act too obviously in front of Li Yu.
He picked up his cup, touched it gently with Li Jingyuan, and said meaningfully: "As the saying goes, you have the same father as your son. I hope that Jingyuan can be an exception!"
Li Jia and Li Jingyuan's father, Li Feng, King of Jin, is a complete villain in Li Guan's opinion.
On the surface, Li Feng has always followed the doctrine of the mean, but in fact he has ill-intentioned evil intentions.
When his father had just ascended the throne, Li Feng sent several congratulatory statements in succession, performing his best to flatter him.
When the Five Kings were in rebellion, Li Feng secretly made friends with the Five Kings and secretly gave the Five Kings a lot of military supplies and food.
When rumors spread, Li Feng was the first to jump out, stood on the side of the Five Kings, and rebelled with the Five Kings.
The behavior of villains is despicable.
Li Jingyuan didn't react after hearing his words, and Li Jia, who was standing beside her, couldn't sit still.
He slapped the table suddenly and made a loud bang.
Everyone present was startled and looked at Li Jia in surprise.
Li Jia looked like a torch, staring at Li Guan without blinking, and said with a slight slander, "It's not that the prince slandered my father in public, so he didn't take my father seriously, right?"
You are the crown prince, my father is also a dignified vassal king, or your elder, what qualifications do you have to say this and criticize me?
