Time soon came to the evening. When Li Tong arrived at Linde Hall, his family had already arrived. Under the arrangement of the queen, the banquet had already been held, and the family members outside the palace, including Tong Wang, King Qi and others, were invited to the palace, and the banquet was just waiting for Li Tong to arrive.

"When I was forgetting the book, I actually worked hard for my elders to wait. It was so rude."

Li Tong hurriedly climbed the hall and first apologized to the Empress Dowager and his mother Fang, and everyone else stood up to greet the emperor.

"The emperor is diligent in his work, which is a blessing for his family and country. His relatives are idle and they just sit in the hall for a long time. Being able to gather together is joy."

The Empress Dowager responded with a smile, pointed to the empty seat beside her, and signaled the emperor to come and sit.

Li Tong walked in front and walked to the side of Princess Taiping who was looking at him, and raised his hand to help Princess Taiping into the table and said with a smile: "There are many things in the foreign court, and it is often difficult to have time to enjoy the family and be filial. If your aunt has time to take advantage of it, please enter the palace often and accompany her kindness, and you can also give me some advice on how to maintain the family for a young woman."

"The queen is in an orderly manner in the harem, which is admirable. She does not disappoint my mother's intention to summon us to meet the famous masters and be a good match for the saints in the past. As for me, I am just a foolish woman who relies on the kindness of the heavenly family. There is no good strategy to teach people. If you are kind and kind, you still have vanity to enjoy. If you are kind and kind, it is difficult to be as good as a commoner's family. I really dare not rely on love and make grudges."

Princess Taiping sighed after hearing this, and then spoke, with a faint resentment in her tone.

When Li Tong heard his aunt's words, his eyebrows raised slightly. Before he could speak, the Empress Dowager frowned in the table and said, "You, a lady, are so kind to be a good person, invite favors, and are clear from the top and bottom, and the world is peaceful. Isn't this the emperor's kindness? People who live in the world, hiding their parents for half their lives, and raising their parents for half their lives, have already had a son to make a decision. They have plans to cling to their family, where can they place their faces? How can they be respected by the people of the times?"

The Empress Dowager's rebuke made Princess Taiping look a little embarrassed, and Xue Chongxun, who was in the hall, quickly stood up and said, "After all, the young people are not allowed to be called. Although they are favored and favored, they are all in the court, but they do not match their talents and achievements, so they have made my mother worry about gains and losses..."

After getting the son's words to the stairs, Princess Taiping's expression improved slightly. She raised her hand and pointed at Xue Chongxun and scolded: "Since you understand your shortcomings, you should work harder. Don't let your mother spend all the love that was born in the Tian family on you!"

When the other eldest princess Li Youniang heard that her husband was scolded like this, she was a little angry. Just as she was about to refute, she saw that her husband looked at her with a lot of begging, so she could barely endure it.

Li Tong is quite optimistic about this cousin and brother-in-law, and does not look at him differently because of the worse relationship with Princess Taiping. He also pointed to Xue Chongxun and said with a smile: "Although the national talent is highly intelligent, you need to always give some advice. Whether your parents appreciate or advise, you are always looking forward to your better thoughts. Talents can increase with age, but if you are stubborn and rebellious, you will inevitably be self-confidence.

Lantian jade still needs to be carefully crafted to be a beautiful tool. Xue Lang can see his shortcomings and listen to the teachings and become a weapon. If the two kindnesses of the Tian family are combined with you, they will naturally have deep hopes for you and hope to become a talent. My young lady is not very kind, but your husband and wife are good at it, and they are as close as a vague person. Xue Lang is already very good and there is no need to underestimate himself."

When Li Youniang heard this, she immediately said coquettishly: "Brother praised my husband, just talk to him, but I insisted on bringing me in my speech, which makes people angry!"

Hearing Li Youniang's anger, everyone in the hall smiled, diluting the originally awkward atmosphere. As Li Tong entered the table, the palace people began to spread food and cloth meals.

Although Li Tong is not luxurious in food and clothing, the royal family banquet is also rich in food. Needless to say, all kinds of delicacies and seafood are the most attractive. Everyone is on the shore with many vegetables, fruits and melons.

Although meat is delicious, it is inevitable to get tired of eating too much. In this medieval society, it is definitely not easy to eat a bite of off-season vegetables and fruits that are common in later generations.

For example, Li Shouli was not interested in all kinds of carefully cooked dishes on the dining table. He ate big melons in his hand, and had to touch Li Youniang's desk after eating all his desk. The empress kept looking at him and stopped, but looked up at Li Tong and laughed: "The children in the family are very fed and anorexia, and they like to eat these crisp fruits and fruits the most. If there is still stocking up in the forbidden area, can they give a box of them later?"

When Princess Qi, who was sitting at the same table, was so embarrassed that she blushed with shame and bowed her head without saying a word.

After hearing this, Li Tong smiled and said, "You can only grow stronger after eating well, and I have ignored it. Not to mention the preparation of stock in the palace, there is an inner garden melon garden in the south of the city, so I will give you a place for my second brother."

Hearing this, Li Youniang was also excited and hurriedly raised her hand and said, "I want it too, I want it too, brother! Although I don't have a baby yet, I like to eat fruits and vegetables!"

"Everything, all! One place for the eldest brother, one place for the second brother, and one place for the young mother, you also have one place for each of them. You will manage it separately."

Li Tong never refused these harmless little requests, and gave them a small melon garden to his brother and sister with a smile.

Princess Taiping was quite moved after hearing this. Not to mention whether she likes to eat melons or not, the benefits in this alone are tempting. Melons need to mature in June and July, and the cost is quite high if they are cultivated off-season. Now a half-pound melon in the market costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Such a price will gradually decrease until summer is over. Even a wealthy family will never dare to make it like this.

However, Princess Taiping is an elder after all, and she really can't help but ask for it directly like Li Youniang. Fang Shi frowned after hearing this and advised him: "Eat according to the times, this is the norm for strangers. The saints are in charge of the country and should not consume too much material on this path of oral desire!"

Although off-season cultivation was difficult in ancient times, it was not without it. There were already mature hot spring cultivation techniques during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Qin Shihuang ordered people to plant melons in the Lishan Mausoleum Valley and attract Confucian scholars to watch. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the application of hot spring floor heating had to be more mature.

In addition to borrowing geothermal conditions, greenhouses also produce fruits and vegetables. However, the cost involved is much higher, because the heat required for greenhouse cultivation depends entirely on firewood and charcoal burning, which is simply burning money.

Even emperors dare not consume so willfully. Even if they build a greenhouse, they must first serve as sacrifices for sacrifice. After their ancestors enjoyed it, they could only eat some leftovers, otherwise they would be advised by court officials to be too extravagant.

Hearing Fang's advice, Li Tong smiled and said, "My lady, please rest assured that these fruit and vegetable planting methods are not old plans, and do not require too much labor. The Neiyuan Palace has a new plan to build a new plan, and the labor cost of materials has been reduced. A mu of melon field consumes less than 10,000 yuan in winter, but the profit is quite considerable. The inner warehouse collects these fruits and vegetables, and some of them are stored as palaces, and some are rewarded for court officials. Calculate them, which is more materially efficient than before."

Fang's expression improved slightly when he heard this. He did not doubt the authenticity of this sentence, nor did he continue to ask questions. He was not very interested in these things.

But Fang was not interested. Princess Taiping was surprised after hearing this and asked: "One acre of warm fields consumes less than ten thousand yuan in winter, which is more than ten times more expensive than the old method! What new method is that it can be so magical? Is it because the palace slaves deceived the master in order to invite favor and deceive their master? How to manipulate the new method, can the saint take it out and read it in detail? Don't be mistaken by the spoiled slaves!"

After hearing this, Li Tong laughed. Let’s not talk about whether he had been deceived. It is obvious that his aunt was deceived by a spoiled slave. Although the off-season greenhouse planting consumes a lot of money, the expenditure is mainly about firewood and charcoal heating.

When he was still in Taiwan earlier, Li Tong had nothing to do and also had some mulberry activities. He also used the old method to try planting fruits and fruits for several seasons. If one acre of warm fields wanted to maintain the growth of crops, even if the labor cost was included, it would only cost between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan. This was still the case when the price of firewood and charcoal was extremely high.

Of course, this cost is still a huge expense for most civilians, and off-season planting is ultimately contrary to the weather. How to deal with frost and snow disasters and the diseases of the plants themselves requires a very clever agricultural plan, which is difficult for many ordinary families to access.
