The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 51 Night Detective
Cui Liang immediately came to discuss the matter with Du Yu after receiving the Tang newspaper that allowed them to visit the gods.

Because this matter is an official action, there is no need to use people from the Iron Hands.

Two days later, a huge fleet of more than 20 ships departed from Yangzhou and headed for Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

Du Yu and Cui Liang chatted while drinking tea in the cabin of a large ship.

He really didn't expect that the teammate of the TV series, who is as stupid as a pig, is actually from the Qinghe Cui family, and he has a good knowledge in his belly.

But from the chat between the two, one can hear the Yangzhou governor's love for money and official position.

This is why he not only wanted to get high-yield crop seeds from Du Yu, but also wanted to claim credit in front of Wu Zetian.

Cui Liang is very self-aware, knowing that he has taken advantage of this matter, and expresses that he will definitely repay this kindness in the future.

Du Yu didn't take it seriously, just chattering around to pass the time.

After a long time, Cui Liang himself felt that it was meaningless, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He knew the details of King Ying very well, and he didn't dare to despise him just because he came from a rich family.

It was relatively fast to walk the Grand Canal during the Tang Dynasty, and their fleet came from Yangzhou to Luoyang in just over ten days.

As soon as I arrived at the pier, I saw a team of Qianniuwei waiting there.

Du Yu walked out of the cabin and looked towards the shore. He had to say that Luoyang, the capital of the gods, was not as prosperous as Bianliang in the Song Dynasty.

Just as he was feeling emotional, Cui Liang also came out and had a chat with Qianniuwei's guard rate.

Later, a group of people helped unload the sweet potatoes and potatoes from the boat, and then took them to an official post to stay.

Du Yu understood that even if he had the status of King Ying, he could only wait if he wanted to see the emperor.

However, perhaps there were not many things to be happy about in Dazhou recently, so after waiting for three days, he and Cui Liang were summoned by the queen.

This was the first time for Du Yu to go to court, and he was both excited and nervous.

Looking at Wu Zetian sitting on the throne in the Linde Hall of Shangyang Palace, he did not expect to be exactly the same as Mr. Lu in the TV series.

After thinking about it, I was right, this is the world of Shendi, not the official history of Tang Dynasty.Otherwise, the screenwriter made a big bug in the first episode.

The mission case started in the first year of Dazu, but Di Renjie had passed away in the previous year in real history.

So this Tang Dynasty can only be regarded as a parallel time and space of real history. In this case, it is normal for both the characters and the timeline to match the TV series.

After being stunned for a moment, Du Yu and Cui Liang immediately performed the courtesies of monarchs and ministers.

After some etiquette, the queen turned the topic to serious business.

"Aiqing, what kind of crop is so high-yielding, why don't you hurry up and present it." Wu Zetian said.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty." After Du Yu finished speaking, he took out a sweet potato from his cuff and put it on the waiter's tray.

Wu Zetian picked it up and looked at it, and found it ugly, so he asked: "Ai Qing said that this thing can be used as food, how can I eat it?"

"Your Majesty, there are many ways to eat sweet potatoes. They can be steamed, boiled, or porridge. They are even delicious when eaten raw. But potatoes need to be cooked before they can be eaten. Raw potatoes are difficult to digest." Du Yu introduced.

"It sounds good, but I don't know how it tastes." Wu Zetian said.

The waiter next to her whispered a few words to remind her, and after a while, Qian Niuwei brought over several trays, filled with boiled sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"Since it's a new crop, come and taste it, too," Wu Zetian said.

All the ministers in the court came over one after another, and each took a piece.

"This thing is very sweet."

"tasty."

"..."

"King Ying, can this product really produce three thousand catties per mu?" Di Renjie tasted it and thought it tasted good, but he was more concerned about the yield of these two new crops.

"Indeed, Governor Cui can confirm this," Du Yu said.

He was not very used to the way people in Tang Dynasty spoke, especially in court, so he handed over this task to Cui Liang before he simply came again.

Cui Liang was about to show that he was eloquent as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and described how sweet potatoes and potatoes were brought from overseas, how they were planted unintentionally, etc. as if they were telling stories.

In the end, it was said with certainty that the two crops are all fetishes that can produce more than three thousand catties per mu, so they are dedicated to His Majesty as auspiciousness.

Not to mention all the ministers, even Di Renjie and Wu Zetian were fascinated by what they heard, and they believed it all.

The seeds have long been transported away by Qian Niuwei and stored, and whether the yield is high will not be known until after planting and harvesting.

Wu Zetian felt that since the two dared to offer gifts, they must be quite sure, otherwise they would not be able to resist the serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

However, it will take several months to confirm, so she is a little uncertain about the reward.

"Aiqing, how should I reward you for presenting such a sacred object that is related to the common people?" Wu Zetian asked Du Yu instead.

As for Cui Liang's court, there is a promotion system that can be done step by step, but King Ying is not an official in the court, and it is not easy to reward.

"Sharing Your Majesty's worries is what I should do, I don't want to reward my ministers." Du Yu said, he said this out of sincerity, it is not easy for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live, and with sweet potatoes and potatoes, there will probably be fewer famines , so he didn't intend to take credit for it.

"Aiqing, why don't you reward me for such a great achievement, just ask what you want." Wu Zetian said.

Du Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I am quite interested in overseas. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow me to set up a fleet in Yangzhou to search for rare treasures."

Wu Zetian knew that Yuan Qi loved money, and thought he would ask for rewards, but unexpectedly he didn't, and instead planned to explore the sea.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the matter was harmless, so he said, "Yes."

"Your Majesty Long En." Du Yu said.

He was not very clear about the red tape rules of the Tang Dynasty, so he could only talk as little as possible, but he did not expect it to be in his favor. In the Queen's heart, Yuan Qi was such a person.

Du Yu felt that his underwear was sweaty when he came down from His Royal Highness Linde after completing the offering ceremony. There was no way the Queen's aura was too strong, and he had never seen any big scenes, so he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

After finishing the work with difficulty, he was relieved, and secretly made up his mind not to come to court in the future.

He and Cui Liang went back to the Guanyi to stay, and prepared to return to Yangzhou by boat after the Queen's imperial decree was issued.

Du Yu changed into his regular clothes while he had nothing to do, and wandered around Luoyang at this time, and soon he found out where Di Renjie's residence was.

Before he left, he was going to meet Li Yuanfang, Shen Dili's biggest cheater, to test how high his strength was.

Since Li Shimin's time in the Tang Dynasty, there has been a tradition of "eating" in Luoyang. In fact, the fields around Chang'an can no longer support the large population in Guanzhong. This did not change when Wu Zetian became emperor.

Therefore, most of the high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty had mansions in both Chang'an and Luoyang. It may be for this reason that the court valued the crops he donated very much.

Within a few days, the Queen's imperial decree was delivered to Du Yu and Cui Liang.The two discussed it and decided to return to Yangzhou in three days.

Seeing this, Du Yu felt that choosing a day would be better than hitting the sun, so he visited Di's mansion tonight.

After eating and drinking enough during the day, he hid in the room of the post house, adjusted his breath and meditated to practice inner alchemy.

In the dead of night, Du Yu changed into night clothes, quietly opened the window and floated into the room, before disappearing into the night.

After a while, he arrived near Di's mansion, after thinking about it, he untied Qian Huan and restored his figure and face, then tightened his night clothes and ran up the high wall with a 'shua' sound.

Du Yu squatted on the wall and observed carefully, unexpectedly there was a room with candles burning, and the figure on the window sill seemed to be someone reading at night.

Without thinking, he floated to the roof of the house.

Gently lifted the upper tiles and looked down, as expected, Di Renjie was flipping through something.

Li Yuanfang, whom he wanted to find, was dozing off on a chair not far from the door.

After watching for a while, Du Yu saw that Li Yuanfang still didn't respond, and thought to himself, could it be that my lightness kung fu is too good?

He didn't want to wait any longer, he touched a small stone beside him, and flicked it at Li Yuanfang with his finger.

As soon as the stone broke through the air, Li Yuanfang immediately opened his eyes and avoided the sneak attack with a slight movement.

"Who?" After saying that, he looked towards the roof.

Du Yu waved to him through the gap, then floated down and stood in the middle of the courtyard.
