Even if the other party is really a liar, Li Yuanjia will not pursue it seriously.

Otherwise, with his status and power as a prince, it would be too easy to forcefully keep those few people. And it would only take a few months to find out whether these rice seeds are genuine and fake, and then further

Decide whether to reward them or let them understand the price of deceiving a prince!

But from beginning to end, Li Yuanjia never thought of doing this.

There are never many people like this.

Not to mention that Li Yuanjia was just a prince, even the emperors who were above him would not be deceived by anyone?

Give me a break!

Apart from anything else, check the various "auspicious things" that have appeared countless times in history. Aren't most of them just used to fool the emperor and flatter the emperor?

It’s just that if he is a more reliable emperor, if he has a bad temper, he will issue an order and scold him. If he is a good temper, he will chuckle and ignore it, and then let it go... To put it bluntly, everyone has his own plan, but those

People who show auspiciousness are rarely punished. If you get some unreliable or emperor who is said to be a great success, even if it is not good, you will be rewarded lavishly.

Although the nature of rice seeds is different from that of auspiciousness, Li Yuanjia has no intention of pursuing it.

The reason is very simple, he needs to let people know his "tolerance and generosity", and then encourage more people to help him find rice seeds that can be harvested twice a year - look, in order to get those things, even if Han was deceived

The king doesn’t care, that’s really sincerity!

But if we were ruthless this time, it would be different.

Let’s not talk about whether the other party is a real liar. Even if it is true, if Li Yuanjia is cruel, there will be some bad consequences. Apart from anything else, unless you have seen with your own eyes the rice that ripens twice a year, who would dare

Came to Prince Han’s Mansion to receive the reward rashly?

But in today's Tang Dynasty, there is indeed no Champa rice.

This means that people either went to the southeastern peninsula to look for it in person, or they "heard" about the two crops a year and got rice seeds from others that might be real... At this time, if Li Yuanjia had a tolerance

With a reputation for generosity, those people naturally dared to give it a try!

What if, what if it's true?

So this is Li Yuanjia's consideration. It doesn't matter if you lose a little money, and it doesn't matter if you have a reputation of being cheated. The key is to attract more people to donate rice seeds!

As for whether it will attract more speculators, Li Yuanjia is naturally not worried.

Isn’t it okay if you don’t give money?

Before confirming that the rice seeds they brought were indeed double-cropping rice seeds, they wouldn't even give them a big reward. At most, they would provide food and accommodation.

If the trial is successful, Li Yuanjia will definitely not be stingy with the large bounty, but if the trial fails... Haha, Li Yuanjia has not yet decided whether to make these people suffer, but food and accommodation will be included.

That must be recovered!

After this set of procedures, who would dare to randomly use fake products to defraud the bounty?

At most, it's a waste of time and money... Li Yuanjia doesn't care about money. As for time... he won't do it himself anyway. There are many people under his command, so what are you afraid of?

So even though Fang Fengzhu was puzzled and Han Lucheng understood but was unwilling to do so, Li Yuanjia made the final decision and decided on the follow-up treatment plan.

Those people who came all the way to Chang'an to donate rice seeds soon returned to their hometowns all the way.

As for whether the address left for Han Lucheng was genuine and whether they could be found in the future, not many people actually cared. Even Han Lucheng, who was very unhappy, understood that even if the rice seeds were fake, it was basically impossible to send someone.

Went to look for them...

…

There were plenty of rice seeds left in Jiangnan, and Han Lucheng arranged for people to try planting them, so Li Yuanjia naturally didn't need to worry about it. So after this accidental surprise and disappointment, he quickly cheered up and focused his attention again.

On the three major events at the end of the year.

Because he didn't have to go to court every day, Li Yuanjia had plenty of time. Basically, he would go to the valley outside the city every few days to check on the progress of mirror research and development.

Facts have proved that this is really not easy.

Even if Han Cheng and the others have found the right path and know that they can use tin and mercury to make bright mirrors, how to make the bottom of the mirror smooth, flat, and free of specks of impurities as much as possible is still a problem.

They have a huge headache.

Almost every day, I try new methods.

And in this constant trying, Han Cheng, Han Shan, including Han Lucheng who often followed Li Yuanjia to the valley, all understood what the king once said - the birth of any new gadget,

It all means spending a lot of money, even if it’s just to make it better!

Every day, the valley is filled with the smell of burning copper coins.

It costs money to raise this group of people, and the price of tin and mercury is also very expensive, including the coal and charcoal burned every day, as well as the new tools and new processes spawned by various whimsical ideas, which are also expensive. It can be said that

Every experiment requires burning several strings!

After a month, Han Shan could tear his hair out looking at the account books!

But he couldn't say anything yet. Even though he was the old housekeeper of Prince Han's Mansion, he had a transcendent status in the valley, but Han Shan, as an old stubborn man, also knew very well the huge potential of the mirror. As long as he could do it well, it would be useless in the future.

It’s a huge gold mine! So although Han Shan always felt that this was too wasteful, the mirrors now can be sold, and he would never say anything against it.

Of course, the most important thing is that he knows that even if he says something, the king will not listen.

Overall, everything went smoothly.

Although not every experiment has good results, one thing is certain. At the end of every month, Li Yuanjia can see a report that satisfies him - in addition to extremely detailed data records that have reached the level of future experiments

In addition, every month Han Cheng and the others can improve their technology, allowing Li Yuanjia to see a better mirror!

In other words, he doesn't have to worry about things here at all.

Those who really need to worry should be the graduates of Wangfu Primary School. Near the end of the year, three people in succession said that they did not want to do what they are doing now, which made Li Yuanjia happy and worried at the same time.

The happy thing is that these people have figured out their own ideas and have the courage to speak out loud about what they want to do, which is undoubtedly very important. What they are worried about is that there is not much time left, in case they still don't like the position they change.

, Li Yuanjia will not make an exception for them.

After all, they are just slaves.

Li Yuanjia is willing to give them a chance to show his generosity and emphasis on talents, but if there is a second time, it will be another matter.

The dignity of the prince must also be maintained.

So with a hint of worry, Li Yuanjia nodded in agreement with their ideas, and then silently hoped that they would go to the positions he liked...

Being a prince is not easy!

Amidst Li Yuanjia's sighs and various trivial matters, the thirteen years of Zhenguan finally came to an end. And as the weather in Chang'an City became colder and colder, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but want to live in a house with a heated kang.
