We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere was as tense as a taut bowstring.

Although many officials were tempted, they were still hesitant.

The main reason is that the area outside the pass is poor...

The Northeast is a wild and desolate place where criminals are exiled.

Can a place like this really accommodate such a big dream?

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the purse in front of it with a "swish" sound, and everyone was shocked!

"Jane, you..." Wang Xi looked at his son in disbelief.

Wang Chongjian held the purse tightly, his eyes determined:

"Father, are you going to waste all your life's learning in a place like the Heavenly Guardian?"

"I have the talent and determination to control floods. Why would I waste my life being a lousy errand boy in the Ministry of Works?"

He came before Li Che and bowed:

"Your Highness, your servant, Wang Chongjian, is willing to serve you at your service."

"Okay!" Li Che's eyes flashed, and he helped Wang Chongjian up with relief.

Wang Xi looked at his son, sighed, and also grabbed the purse:

"I'm old, old, and I'm not as courageous as my son!"

He walked slowly to Wang Chongjian's side, and the father and son stood side by side.

"If Your Highness will not abandon us, my father and I will sacrifice our lives to repay your kindness."

"Good! Good!" Li Che laughed and walked forward, helping Wang Xi and his son up. "You two, father and son, working together, will surely become a legend in the future!"

Wang Xi and his son served in the same court. They were quite talented and had a certain influence in the entire imperial capital.

As soon as they expressed their opinions, the other officials could no longer sit still and stood up and picked up their money bags.

"Your Highness, I, Liu Ye, am willing to serve you."

"Your Highness, I, Ge Hong, am willing to serve you."

"Your Highness, I, Jia Miao, am willing to serve you."

In a blink of an eye, everyone in the room came to Li Che and saluted.

Only Qian Bin was left standing there, with his eyes closed, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Li Che expressed his joy to everyone without hesitation, and then walked up to Qian Bin.

"Master Qian, you still won't help me?"

Qian Bin slowly opened his eyes, a look of relief on his face: "I never thought that the most insignificant Sixth Prince back then would turn out to be my most outstanding student."

Li Che smiled without saying anything, just looked at him respectfully.

But she was thinking in her heart that if he was determined to reject her, she would immediately call Hu Qiang to come over and knock him out, or tie him up and take him to the Northeast.

Qian Bin smiled and shook his head, then picked up the purse on the ground.

"Is there a place for me in your Highness's school?"

Li Che was overjoyed: "Hahaha! The position of chief priest has been vacant for a long time!"

"Since Your Highness has such a grand ambition, then I will risk my life to accompany you. I will follow Your Highness to the border, and what harm will there be in going through this again?"

This master of mathematics also relaxed, and Li Che finally felt relieved.

With the addition of these technical talents, I have the first team to develop my territory.

Li Che immediately ordered his servants to send them all to the guest rooms to rest and treat them with fine wine and delicious food.

It is impossible for them to go home. What if they change their minds after I let them go back?

If you are worried about your family, just send someone to take care of them.

. . . . . .

After winning over a group of scientists, Li Che was in a good mood. He walked to the courtyard with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.

Hu Qiang followed closely behind, munching on a pancake.

At this moment, the Ten Kings' Mansion was bustling with activity. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of carriages, Li Che ordered the threshold of the back door to be removed.

The money spent in the past two days was not a small amount, but seeing the mountains of supplies in the yard, Li Che felt it was worth it.

Uncle Yang was directing his men to carry the things. Li Che came to his senses only when he walked beside him. He quickly saluted, "Your Highness."

"Uncle Yang, what's wrong?" Li Che asked with a smile.

"According to His Highness's wishes, all those jewels and jades have been converted into cash, and the items on the list have been almost purchased." Uncle Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's just that the food is difficult to transport, and we don't have enough manpower, so we haven't bought much yet."

Li Che nodded and said, "Tell them not to buy any more. Just make sure there's enough food."

"The prices in the capital are already high, and the damage on the road is huge. It's not too late to buy after leaving the capital."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Uncle Yang replied.

"By the way, how many kinds of seeds did you buy from the market?" Li Che asked another question that he was more concerned about.

"Your Highness, I have collected quite a few, but I don't recognize most of them."

Li Che became interested: "Come on, take me to have a look."

Uncle Yang took Li Che to a warehouse filled with seeds collected from various places in the past two days.

Some seeds have samples of mature plants placed next to them, while others only have seeds, which ordinary people cannot tell the difference at all.

Fortunately, Li Che had an ex-girlfriend who majored in agronomy, so he knew a little about these seeds.

He walked quickly forward and searched carefully, hoping to find a few familiar ones.

"Hmm... cilantro, garlic, and onions, at least we have enough seasoning."

"This is... pepper?!" Li Che's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's a good thing to keep warm. This thing can be promoted for planting."

“There are also cucumbers, sesame seeds, tomatoes, peanuts…”

"Wait a minute!"

Li Che's eyes suddenly fell on a bag of inconspicuous seeds in the corner.

He walked quickly forward, opened the package, and plump golden seeds jumped out.

"This...this!" Li Che was so excited that he was incoherent.

"Your Highness, this was bought from some Hu merchants. They call this thing... corn." Uncle Yang explained on the side.

"Corn?" Li Che carefully picked up a seed and observed it carefully.

"That's right, that's it, that's it!" Li Che said excitedly, "Uncle Yang, this is corn!"

"Corn?" Uncle Yang looked at the golden seeds in confusion. "I've never heard of it."

Hu Qiang outside the door also put down the pancake in his hand and looked at the corn kernels in Li Che's hand curiously.

Corn? Is it delicious?

It doesn't look like something that can fill you up, but since His Highness likes it so much, it must be a good thing.

Hu Qiang withdrew his gaze and continued to deal with the pancake in his hand.

Li Che frowned, his heart full of doubts.

Logically speaking, this thing shouldn't appear here, unless those Hu merchants have been to America, or the people they have contacted have been to America.

In that case, perhaps these Hu merchants have other seeds in their hands?

For example... potatoes, sweet potatoes? !

Li Che suddenly looked at Uncle Yang: "Uncle Yang, where are those Hu merchants?!"

Uncle Yang shook his head. "I bought all the seeds from them yesterday. When I went back today, the place was empty. They must have left the capital."

"Besides this corn, what other seeds did you buy from them?" Li Che asked anxiously.
