Chapter 174: Surprise!
This is a potato?
Sai Qunxiong is a smart person, he knows that he is an outsider, not to mention the relationship with Li Zhen, the two are not even from the same continent.
Although Li Zhen wanted to make his own request, if he really didn't know what to do and rashly made a request, Li Zhen might also agree, but after meeting his own request, the affection between the two parties was used up.
Of course, Sai Qunxiong doesn't want to consume this sentiment in vain, standing opposite him is the future heir of Datang, if he can be a long-term pendant on his thigh, can he lose his own benefits in the future?
So he was very clever and threw the ball back - I just want to be able to live safely in Datang'an, as for the reward, His Royal Highness the Prince, you can watch it.
"Hehehe, are you still afraid that this palace will give less?"
Sai Qunxiong is so clever, but Li Zhen is not angry, because people have brought sweet potatoes to themselves, just by virtue of this, Li Zhen should give others any kind of reward, what's wrong with being a little clever?
Datang has always had a tradition of being knighted with miraculous merits, and a sweet potato can increase Datang's grain output dozens of times, and such a big credit is no less than the credit of expanding thousands of miles.
"Don't worry, the benefits that should be given to you will naturally not be missing from this palace, but although this palace is the crown prince, it is not qualified to be knighted."
Li Zhen thought about it and said, the emperor is the only one who is qualified to give people knighthoods in the entire Tang Dynasty, even if Li Zhen is the crown prince.
"In this way, this palace will give you two choices, the first is to immediately arrange for you to enter Chang'an, and when the time comes, there will be a recommendation from this palace, whether you are in business or politics, you will get strong support from the imperial court.
Another option is that the palace will reward you with a manor first, and then give you some servants, you will live here in the mountain for the time being, and when the things here are finished, you will go to Chang'an with the palace, and then the palace will naturally ask for a reward for you.
During this time, Hongu can also be appointed as a sweet potato promotion ambassador, fully responsible for the promotion of sweet potatoes, and wait until everyone has seen the yield of sweet potatoes......
However, no matter which one you choose, with the credit you have for offering sweet potatoes, this palace guarantees that you will definitely be indispensable as a duke, the difference is that the former is difficult to convince the public, and the latter is a little more secure.
"Although it can't be knighted directly, but Li Zhen is the crown prince after all, and he can still recommend places, not to mention that the credit of Sai Qunxiong is indeed very great, and a duke Li Zhen is still very sure.
"Oh, this is good, Brother Sai, thank you Your Highness."
Before Sai Qunxiong could speak, Wang Dewei preemptively said: "Brother Sai, quickly choose the second one, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty is divided into two levels, the former you can be a county duke at most, if you choose the second one, maybe you can be named a national duke." ” "Thank you Brother Wang for the mention, Your Highness, I will choose the second one, I am willing to teach them to grow sweet potatoes."
Although Sai Qunxiong didn't understand the difference between the Guogong and the Jungong, he understood that compared to the Jungong, the Guogong was much taller.
"Very good, then the palace will arrange it for you later."
Li Zhen was not angry with Wang Dewei, and it was still the same sentence, the sweet potatoes they brought to the competition were worth any kind of reward.
Li Zhen has never been afraid of other people's meritorious service, as long as you dare to make meritorious service, I dare to reward you, as for the so-called meritorious master, Li Zhen is not worried - if even the prestige of a courtier is higher than that of the monarch, it can only mean that you, the monarch, are too incompetent, and nothing else can be explained.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Sai Qunxiong was overjoyed, and hurriedly promoted other things: "We brought not only sweet potatoes this time, but also other things, Your Highness, take a look, is there any use?"
” "Oh yes, there's something else."
Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and opened other bags, who knew that it was just the first bag, which surprised him......
"It's ......
Potato?
” Li Zhen was stunned suddenly, and then he was even more overjoyed, he thought that having sweet potatoes was already a blessing to invite the heavens, but what he didn't expect was that Sai Qunxiong actually had potatoes in his hands.
Li Zhen, who was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and was about to pick up a potato to watch, but Wang Dewei hurriedly stopped him loudly: "Your Highness, no, this thing is poisonous and will kill people." ” "What?"
"Choke!"
As soon as they heard the poisonous, the extremely nervous guards didn't think about it, they directly pulled out their blades, and then controlled Wang Dewei, as for the 'culprit' of all this, Sai Qunxiong, was put on his neck by more than a dozen knives, and he didn't dare to make the slightest move.
"Your Highness, put that thing down."
Wang Dewei was pressed to the ground, and he didn't forget to remind Li Zhen: "Your Highness, this thing is really poisonous, and if you eat it, you will die." ” After speaking, Wang Dewei looked at Sai Qunxiong viciously, and didn't call him Brother Sai, but called him by his name: "Sai Qunxiong, didn't I let you throw this harmful thing away?"
Why do you still carry it on your body to poison my Highness?
I treat you as a brother, why do you want to harm me?
” "I didn't harm you, it was you who didn't listen to me last time, potatoes are not poisonous."
Sai Qunxiong was about to be frightened, and hurriedly looked at Li Zhen pleadingly: "Respected Highness, please give Sai Qunxiong a chance to explain." ” Wang Dewei asked rhetorically: "You still say that there is no poison?"
Why did Xiao Li die of poisoning after eating?
” Sai Qunxiong hadn't explained yet, Li Zhen said: "This palace can give you an explanation, and you, don't make such a fuss, this thing is indeed poisonous, but the toxicity can only be effective if you eat it in the stomach, I just touch it, where will it be poisoned?"
” "Your Highness, no matter what, it's better to be careful."
One of the guards advised: "Please also ask Your Highness to put down the poison and let your subordinates destroy it completely." ” "Who dare?"
Hearing that someone was going to destroy the potatoes, Li Zhen suddenly jumped up like a fried cat: "This is a high-yield crop that is no less than the yield of sweet potatoes, who dares to do any harm to this potato, this palace will let him understand what it means to be a flower and why it is so red?"
” "But Your Highness, this thing is poisonous, no matter how high the yield is, it will kill people if you eat it, what's the use?"
Wang Dewei was still pressed to the ground, and couldn't help asking: "And the toxicity of this thing is especially greater than that, there is a person in our shipyard who tasted a little of the buds on it out of curiosity, and the result is that the person fell in less than a quarter of an hour, no matter how the doctor treats, but there is still no way to recover......

"Nonsense, if you eat the buds, you'll have to die."
Li Zhen is powerless to complain, she specializes in eating potato sprouts, who will die if you don't die?
However, he didn't bother to explain, but pointed to Sai Qunxiong: "You, explain it to them." ” "Yes, thank you, Your Highness, for giving me this opportunity."
Sai Qunxiong was grateful, and hurriedly explained: "Actually, this thing itself is not poisonous, whether it is steamed or boiled, it tastes delicious, but the premise is that this thing cannot sprout, once it sprouts, it will immediately become a highly poisonous." ”
