Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Everyone has selfish motives, but she doesn't think she's at fault. That kind of thing is hers, and she can let whomever she wants to sow it. She still has this right.

As the saying goes, good things don’t flow to outsiders. Of course, when good things happen, you must first focus on your own family.

Lin Shuangshuang continued: "Later, I made cotton clothes and quilts from the cotton grown by my parents-in-law and presented them to the emperor."

"The emperor immediately found someone to try planting, but the results were not satisfactory. Now two years have passed, but no good cotton has been grown."

"If Mr. Zhang doesn't believe this, you can ask the emperor."

Mr. Zhang wiped his sweat violently, how could he have the courage to question the emperor.

Moreover, agriculture is the foundation of the country. Anyone who made significant contributions to agriculture was a meritorious official of the Yu Dynasty.

If he insists on convicting the Gu family, no one will be able to grow cotton in the future, and the people will starve and freeze in winter, and he will be a sinner forever.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't know that the Gu family had such a contribution."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as the emperor knows."

Mr. Zhang knelt down to the emperor: "This matter was caused by an oversight by a lower official. Please forgive me, the emperor."

When the emperor heard Lin Shuangshuang's words, he also took it seriously. The cotton issue had indeed troubled him for a long time.

In the past two years, he has been asking people to plant according to the method of taking care of his family, using the cotton seeds of mature cotton sent by them.

But no matter whether in the south or the north, good cotton cannot be grown.

The cotton he had grown was all shriveled, hard, and yellow, and not at all as fluffy, soft, and as white as snow as the cotton grown by the Gu family.

In fact, what the emperor didn't know was that it was not a problem with the planting method, but with the seeds.

The seeds she gave to the Gu family were the best seeds that had been cultivated for thousands of years.

The cotton seeds that the emperor asked people to plant were cotton seeds that grew from cotton.

How can cotton seeds grown in cotton be compared with genetically modified cotton seeds?

In other words, anyone who wants to grow good cotton must buy seeds from her.

This is a technological monopoly. This is the fruit of the labor of many agricultural scientists. If others can get it by buying a pack of seeds for one dollar, who will have the energy to do research?

When she handed over the finished cotton products to the court, she did not hand over the seeds together.

She just wants to let these people who only know how to enjoy themselves and have good food and clothing know the importance of farmers.

Food does not fall from the sky or be blown by strong winds. It is grown by the hard work of the people.

They cannot exploit working people for the fruits of their labor and at the same time treat them as the most despicable ants.

This is shameless!

She just wants to wait until they can't grow a good cotton tree after all their efforts, then they can take a high look at the hard-working farmers.

Unexpectedly, what was once a selfish thought turned out to be the life-saving straw for the Gu family.

"Let's talk about my eldest uncle. Although his legs are disabled, he has a strong mind and a strong body."

"When the drought was raging, water trucks were built, which helped countless people solve their irrigation problems."

"My eldest uncle is not only an outstanding visionary, but also has extensive research on smelting technology."

"He successfully forged the first steel needle of the Yu Dynasty."

When the emperor heard the word "steel needle", he immediately became interested. As long as the Yu Dynasty could also make steel, would it be possible to successfully realize the powerful artillery on the drawing?

"Your Majesty, I have brought the tools that my uncle used to drill crystals."

"This is a hand-operated drilling machine invented by my uncle himself. The drill bit on it is a steel needle."

"Send it up."

After Lin Shuangshuang handed the things to Eunuch Su, he continued to explain.

"The emperor should know that a crystal mine was discovered in Hegou Village. After the imperial court sent people to mine it, no one filled the mine, so it was left behind."

"My sister-in-law took her children up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. The children went into the mine to play and picked up a lot of broken crystals the size of rice grains."

"My sister-in-law thinks crystals are beautiful, so she wants to make some handicrafts or small hair accessories and sell them to support the family."

"But the crystal is too small to sew or set. They can only find ways to drill holes in the crystal, and then they can make all kinds of exquisite objects."

"So, my eldest brother made this hand-operated drilling machine. At first, he used embroidery needles, but the embroidery needles made of iron were not strong enough and would break easily. That's how we got the current steel needles."

As Lin Shuangshuang spoke, he took out a crystal money tree and two crystal hairpins from his bag.

The emperor looked at the money tree and hairpins and praised them repeatedly. The officials were a little confused, how good are these ornaments made of crystal waste?

Is it worthy for the emperor to be so happy?

But the cabinet ministers who were called into the palace overnight knew exactly what the emperor was up to.

With this steel needle, it shows that it is only a matter of time before the Yu Dynasty wants to build artillery, and it is not a fantasy.

As a result, cabinet ministers stepped forward to speak for the Gu family. Whether it was cotton or steel, they were top priorities for the Yu Dynasty.

If killing such an important talent would also arouse Gu Hanzhou's backlash, it would be uneconomical no matter how you think about it. It seemed like you were asking for your own death.

All the officials were dumbfounded, but the cabinet ministers all said that the Gu family was innocent. How dare they, the junior officials, have any other opinion.

Therefore, the emperor ruled that the Gu family's merits and demerits were balanced and allowed them to stay in the capital to serve the court.

Lin Shuangshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the emperor did not allow the Gu family to return to Beijing. There was also an element of surveillance in this, and it was also to stop Youyou from talking.

It would appear to outsiders that although the Gu family was not beheaded, they were imprisoned in order to threaten Gu Hanzhou who was far away in the Kingdom of Jin.

This reason makes sense and is easier for everyone to accept.

Otherwise, if treason is not punished at all, it will be chaos.

Lin Shuangshuang came out of the palace and went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment had received the news and released the person.

"Master Lin, the residence arranged by the emperor for the Gu family is in the west of the city. I will take you there."

Lin Shuangshuang gave Eunuch Su a few banknotes to express her gratitude.

Along the way, the Gu family were too nervous to say a word.

After all, Eunuch Su is here, and they don't know what's going on right now, so they don't dare to speak.

"Mr. Lin, we're here."

"From now on, this will be the Gu Mansion, and the people inside will be sent by the palace to serve you."

It is said to be serving, but it is actually monitoring, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Otherwise, why would there be a row of guards guarding the door?

After Eunuch Su left, Ms. Yang's legs went weak and she almost fainted.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Yang waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Shuang'er, why don't we behead your head?"

Everyone stared at Lin Shuangshuang nervously. Lin Shuangshuang deliberately smiled with a relaxed look on his face: "No more cutting."

"It's okay, it's completely okay."

"Not only is it okay, I also found a palace job for dad and eldest uncle."
