Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 40 Rewards
"What is that toilet water?" Li Yuan was very curious about the things that the servants in the Eastern Palace wanted to buy.

Prince Li Jiancheng has never seen it before, so it's hard to say, but Li Shimin took out a bottle and said, "Father, my son just happened to have a bottle of toilet water here, which was also invented by Qin Tian. It can repel mosquitoes and treat mosquitoes." Bite."

Li Yuan heard that toilet water can cure mosquito bites, and the movement of scratching his arm suddenly stopped, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes: "Quickly, let father try it."

Li Shimin quickly offered toilet water, and Li Yuan wiped some on his arm. After putting it on, he first smelled a fragrance, and then felt very cold on his arm. Soon, the itching feeling gradually faded until it disappeared.

Seeing the bag on his arm go down slowly, Li Yuan immediately relaxed, and the previous unhappiness disappeared.

"Color dew is really a good thing. After applying it in the future, you don't have to worry about mosquito bites."

When Li Yuan said this, he took the toilet water into his sleeves. Li Shimin looked at it with distressed face. He only got a bottle of toilet water. He thought it would be fine for Li Yuan to have a look at it. Who would have thought that this thing had arrived? Whoever holds it, don't even think about getting it back.

Thinking in his heart, Li Shimin felt that after he went back, he must ask Li Ji to ask for a few more bottles for him. He felt that Li Ji was the same. Why did he just take one bottle of such a good thing?
He didn't know that Li Ji kept a bottle of it himself.

"If the emperor likes it, I will ask Qin Tian to pay some tribute. It's just that the reward of the automatic water wheel may not be delayed."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, but he is also a person who is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that his father likes toilet water so much, plus the fact that the automatic water wheel is beneficial to the people, it is useless for him to say more, so although he is angry at this time, he can only I can bear it.

"The automatic waterwheel is beneficial to the common people, it should be rewarded..."

Qin Wangfu.

Li Ji sat quietly in Qin Wangfu, he looked very calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

Soon, Li Shimin walked in from the outside.

"My lord, it's done."

Li Ji got up quickly, and said: "My lord is willing to take action, so it's not a problem to protect Qin Tian. Since the matter is accomplished, this subordinate will resign and go talk to Duke Yi, so that he can feel at ease."

Speaking of which, Li Ji was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Li Shimin.

"Mr. Yingying, even if Qin Tian is the righteous son of Duke Yi, he is still just a commoner. Why do you work so hard, and even ask this king to go to the palace to intercede for him?"

When Li Ji came, he only told about the situation, and didn't say anything else, because he was worried that he would go late and the emperor's edict would not be easy to change.

Now that things are done, Li Shimin really wants to know Li Ji's purpose for doing this.

Seeing Li Shimin's question, Li Ji did not hide anything, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are two purposes for asking you to intercede. First, Qin Tian is the righteous son of Yi Guogong, and he is deeply loved by Yi Guogong. His Majesty saved him. It's like helping Duke Yi, and Duke Yi is very affectionate, so he will only be more devoted to you."

Li Shimin was speechless. Qin Shubao was already devoted to him. He didn't expect that Li Ji would be so troublesome about planning, but he didn't say anything, because the more things like this, the better, the more, Qin Shubao also The less you will rebel against yourself.

Of course, he still trusted Qin Shubao.

"What about the second purpose?"

"The second purpose is naturally to get Qin Tian to join the prince's camp. Now that the prince rescued him and he fell out with the prince, he can only rely on the prince."

Hearing the second purpose, Li Shimin looked at Li Ji with some doubts: "Prince Yingying, then Qin Tian is just a little clever, what use does this king want him to rely on?"

Li Ji shook his head: "No, Qin Tian can invent automatic waterwheels, mosquito coils and toilet water, so he has already helped the prince. The subordinates see that this person is a great talent. With him, sooner or later he will help the prince. .”

Hearing what Li Ji said, Li Shimin felt that it was true. The automatic water truck allowed him to solve the irrigation problem of the people. The people would not all think of him in the future. This helped him win the hearts of the people.

Mosquito coils and toilet water may not be as beneficial to the people as automatic water wheels, but my father likes them, and I have gained favor by relying on them.

The people's hearts can be gained from the outside, and the favor can be obtained from the inside. Isn't this all due to Qin Tian?
Li Shimin was secretly shocked, and felt that Li Ji still had a long-term view.

On Li Ji's side, seeing that Li Shimin already understood, he cupped his hands slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

As he was talking about leaving, Li Shimin suddenly pulled him back, and then touched him involuntarily.

"My lord... My lord, please respect yourself... I... I'm not that kind of person..."

Li Ji was full of panic, and at this moment, Li Shimin finally found the bottle of toilet water from him: "Let's go!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, Li Ji's face was full of black lines.

"My lord, this is mine."

Li Shimin curled his lips: "Father wants that bottle, this bottle is mine, you can go to Qin Tian again."

Li Ji secretly scolded Li Shimin as a scoundrel, and said, "How does the lord know that there is still a bottle here?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "I don't know, I just want to be fooled."

Li Ji suddenly regretted waiting for news here. He knew that Li Shimin would be fine, so why was he still waiting here?
After a wry smile, Li Ji shook his head, sighed softly, and left with his hands.

Qin Family Village.

As soon as Qin Tian and his party arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that the whole village, young and old, was there. This made them very puzzled. Did something major happen in the village?
After getting off the carriage, the village official Qin Gui brought people up to meet him.

"Xiao Langjun, congratulations." Qin Gui used to be called Qin Tian, ​​but today he is called Xiao Langjun, and the title is obviously much more noble.

Qin Tian was puzzled, and said: "Your uncle, where is this congratulation coming from?"

Qin Guidao: "I heard that you have become the adopted son of Duke Yi, you said we should not congratulate you?"

In the eyes of these villagers, becoming the adopted son of Duke Yi is quite extraordinary, how dare they call the name Xiaotian again?

Seeing that it was because of this, Qin Tian couldn't help but smiled wryly, and quickly said: "You don't have to be like this when you are dating, no matter whose adopted son I am, I am still the little boy in your mouth, Qin Tian from Qin Family Village, How can you embarrass me, a junior, with your appearance?"

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Qin Gui and the elders of the Qin Family Village were excited and could not help but praise.

"Xiaotian, good boy, I haven't forgotten my roots..."

"Yes, good boy, he is the pride of our Qin Family Village..."

The villagers praised it, and Qin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have too much trouble with the villagers, because creating a distance with these people would make things difficult for him in the future.
