I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 510 Vegetable Greenhouse
The queen can be depressed because of the suffering of the people, and Li Tian feels very relieved and happy to have such a benevolent queen.

It was also because of this that he dared to say the words that made her spend money hard.

And he is not afraid that the queen will become extravagant because of this, it is precisely because he knows in his heart that even if the inner treasury has countless money to squander, the queen will still not spend money that is unnecessary.

Although it sounded like nonsensical words, the queen didn't listen much, but Li Tian's optimistic attitude still made the queen feel a lot better, and she didn't have the previous sentimentality.

But she seemed to have heard something serious from what Li Tian said just now, so she changed the subject and asked Li Tiandao,

"Your Majesty, you just said that you want to build a garden that is number one in the world. Is it possible that Your Majesty really intends to do so!"

Li Tian smiled and said,

"Why not, build a garden where you can often come to rest, Ling'er, you and Concubine Shu also have a place to relax, don't you!"

The queen's face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, repairing a garden is completely different from building a workshop. No matter how you say it, the workshop can bring benefits to many people, but the garden is purely a place for entertainment. Isn't this a waste?

The concubine would rather guard the imperial garden for the rest of her life than bear the infamy of harming the country and the people because of this matter! "

Seeing what the queen said was so serious, Li Tian knew that if he didn't give her a strong reason, he might not be able to convince the queen, the housekeeper.

He grabbed the queen's little hand, pulled her to his side, and whispered to the queen,
"Ling'er, you don't have to worry about the money I used to build this garden. I've already earned the money. If Ling'er doesn't believe it, you can ask Wang Fu and ask him what we did last night."

The queen couldn't believe it, she turned her head and stared into his eyes, trying to see if he was talking big.

"Even if you build an ordinary garden, at least it will cost several million taels. Has Your Majesty really made so much money?"

Li Tian smiled lightly,
"It's only a few million taels. Is it still a problem for me? There is absolutely no need for me to lie to you, Linger, because of such a trivial matter.

Besides, repairing a garden cannot be completed in a day. We can repair a little every year, and if it is repaired for ten or eight years, it only needs to spend a small amount of money every year. "

Although Li Tian said so, he has already awakened, the queen of the housekeeper's soul, still persuasively persuaded,
"No matter how much it costs, it will be used in a useless place, and the concubine can't ignore it!"

Li Tian also knew that this matter could not be resolved in a short time, so he didn't intend to argue with the queen. Maybe she would change her mind when she saw the garden completed with her own eyes.

While talking, Xijiao has arrived.

The cave shed is built in the same place as the iron workshop.

Li Tian and the others were still far away, and they had already seen the rumbling black smoke from the iron smelting blast furnace.

As he got closer, he heard an endless thumping sound.

Li Tian knew that it was the sound made by the hydraulic forging hammer continuously hitting the anvil.

In the semi-open-air workshops along the river, countless craftsmen are sweating profusely smelting fine steel.

However, they didn't come to see the iron smelting workshop today, so they didn't go to the river, but turned to the inside of Huangzhuang on the fork into Huangzhuang.

The people of Huangzhuang followed Li Tian's suggestion and used the heat emitted by the iron smelting workshop to build a series of earth dragons to guide the excess heat from the blast furnace into the kiln shed.

Several people got off from the warm carriage, but did not feel the biting cold as expected.

Instead, I felt a warm spring-like heat wave continuously rushing towards my body.

Li Tian saw that there seemed to be an artificial earth dragon extending from the direction of the blast furnace towards Huangzhuang not far away.

After taking a closer look, I realized that the scorching heat wave actually came from this earth dragon.

At this time, people who were busy in the shed of the Huangzhuang cave discovered Li Tian and others.

One of them, who was wearing the costume of an agricultural official, recognized Li Tian at a glance.

He hurriedly brought several Huangzhuang people to see the ceremony.

"My minister Ouyang Mian has seen His Majesty!"

Ouyang Mian and Li Tian also knew this. When he first saw the greenhouse, he was afraid that the people in Huangzhuang would not know how to grow vegetables in winter, so he specially selected Ouyang Mian and others from hundreds of agricultural officials to come to Huangzhuang to help. .

This Ouyang Mian is one of the few people Li Tian remembers most.

Although this person's other knowledge is not very high, he is very insightful about planting.

At that time, Li Tian talked with him about planting for a day and a night, which not only benefited Ouyang Mian a lot, but even Li Tian also learned a lot of things that he didn't understand before during the conversation with him.

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that Li Tian threw the title of steward of Huangzhuang to him as soon as he was happy.

And hand over all the matters of the Huangzhuang winter greenhouse to him.

Originally, Li Tian thought that the first year was just an experiment, and even if he achieved something, he would not have any outstanding performance. Unexpectedly, this Ouyang Mian is really a genius in planting.

After Li Tianyi's one-night guidance, coupled with the novel cave-style greenhouse, he really lived up to expectations, and he has already produced output in the first month.

Li Tian once again had a new understanding of his intuition of knowing people and recognizing people.

Stepped forward to help Ouyang Mian and all the people of Huangzhuang who were covered in mud,
"Ouyang Qing, hurry up, you guys did a great job, I'm so relieved!"

"It's all because His Majesty has taught you well, and this minister is just doing his duty."

Because Li Tian has too many things to do on his body, this is the second time to visit Huangzhuang here, and the more he looks at the glazed roofs all over the floor and the slightly bulging little dirt bumps in the distance, the more he looks at it, the happier he is.

"Hurry up, Ouyang Qing, take me to have a look..."

Ouyang Mian is not a person who will follow suit, and he doesn't know how to say flattery, so he directly led Li Tian and others to the nearest greenhouse.

While walking, he introduced to Li Tian,
"According to His Majesty's instructions, Weichen built the side of the cave dwelling facing the sun into a slanted shop, and covered the outside with colored glaze sent by Tiangongyuan, so that the sun can shine into the inside more fully...!"

Li Tian saw that the cave dwelling in front of him was somewhat different from his original sketch. In contrast, he found that such an inclined plane is actually more beneficial than the upright section, and the sunlight shines on it.

I couldn't help giving Ouyang Mian another thumbs up.

"Talent, I can't think of what he has neglected, but he has considered it. Such a person must be reused in the future."

Li Tian couldn't help nodding, he was satisfied with everything.
