"This is your place?"

"Master Qi?" Lu Siyu raised his head, but suddenly saw a familiar person. Speaking of which, it was more than a year ago that he last met him, but perhaps it was because of his good temperament that he was still deeply impressed by this person. After so long, he still remembered this person.

"Long time no see, don't you come here?" Someone called Master Qi laughed.

"Recently, I have been studying in the school. Until recently, I had some time to help Brother Zhuang deal with these seeds. However, Young Master Qi looks very good recently. I think it is because people are in good spirits on happy occasions." Lu Siyu smiled. Before he saw Qi When I was a young master, I felt that this man looked a little out of his mind. Now that I see you again, he is much better than before, and his temperament is even more domineering than before.

Lu Siyu guessed early on that this Young Master Qi must be a member of the royal family, but he never inquired about the real identity of the other party. Now that Young Master Qi came again, he had no intention of inquiring, and pretended that he didn't know anything.

"Yeah, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful recently, and the common people can have enough to eat. I believe everyone will live a good life soon. I... It is a happy and good thing. I am in a better mood, and my complexion is naturally much better." Although I almost missed it mouth, but he quickly turned back.

"Let's go and have a look inside." Zhuang Jinhan said from the side.

"Alright." The emperor nodded, and walked straight to the direction Zhuang Jinhan pointed.

Lu Siyu and Zhuang Jinhan followed behind, introducing him to the situation wherever they went.

There are quite a lot of seeds in this batch, but Lu Siyu only took some of them that he has a relatively high degree of confidence in for breeding, and some of them he still needs to study with reference to relevant books, and some of them are not suitable for the temperature now, and he does not have greenhouse technology, so it is impossible to use them. Modern technology adjusts the temperature to the temperature required by the plants, and he can only give up.

However, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite. It is impossible to become a big fat man in one sitting. He still has to go to school now, so he can only spare part of his energy to use it, even if he is in a hurry.

"Fortunately, there are three things: sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes. With those three things, the common people will no longer worry about being full." As long as they are full, other problems are not a big problem , you can take your time.

"Indeed, when the sweet potato first appeared, I knew it was a crop worthy of universal celebration. Sure enough, sweet potatoes can be grown in many places. Over the past year, many counties have repeatedly received good news. People are starting to plant Afterwards, Sweet Potato has hope for life, and all of this is due to you." The emperor said seriously.

Since ancient times, who doesn't want to be an emperor who has left his name in history and is admired and praised by future generations, but many emperors also have more than enough heart but not enough power.

Since the day he ascended the throne, he has decided to be a good emperor who loves the people like a son, so that more people can live a good life. That's why he took the initiative to propose a way to reduce taxes before digging the river.

However, his decision was opposed by many ministers, including Zhuang Jinhan's father, Zhuang Xiang, but he still insisted on going his own way, which finally allowed the matter to be implemented and made the people willing to dig the river.

In his plan, it may take a long time to change the lives of ordinary people, or even a lifetime, but only a little bit can be changed, but who would have thought that such a crop with a high yield would suddenly appear in front of him.

The yield of sweet potatoes can reach [-] jin per mu or even higher. Such existence is simply a blessing from God.

No one knew that when he saw the acres and acres of green sweet potato vines, his heart was actually trembling. No one would be more eager than him to see that the common people can eat enough, and no longer be caused by sudden natural disasters. The road is hungry.

But now, there are not only sweet potatoes, but also corn and potatoes. Although the yield per mu of these two things is not as good as that of sweet potatoes, it is much higher than the yield per mu of normal crops. With these crops, the country will also change. become stronger and more prosperous.

"The promotion of these crops across the country cannot be completed overnight. It may take several years or even ten years to complete. Although the time is long, the results will definitely surprise people." Lu Siyu said from the side.

The ancient technology was limited, and they didn't have many seeds. Even if they could grow mature crops in the next season, the country is too big, and it would not be possible to spread the crops overnight. For those crops whose seeds are fruit, the first few years of fruit are used until they become more widespread.

"There's no need to worry about this matter. Planting crops should be serious. I'm afraid you will have to deal with this matter, Jinhan." The emperor looked at Zhuang Jinhan. He trusted Zhuang Jinhan the most, and he was sure that Zhuang Jinhan would be able to complete the task he entrusted. .

"This matter should be discussed with the emperor." Zhuang Jinhan looked at the emperor, if he continued, he felt that Lu Siyu would guess the emperor's real identity.

"That's right," the emperor slapped his forehead, "I heard that you have also grown a crop called cotton this time, is there such a thing?"

"It's true. According to Brother Yu, cotton can be used to weave cloth and quilts. It's very effective in keeping warm." Zhuang Jinhan said truthfully.

"Since that's the case, let people promote it across the country. If it really has such a big effect, it can greatly improve the lives of ordinary people." The emperor nodded quickly. He has always spared manpower, material and financial resources for these things.

"Why are there so many people today?" Suddenly someone said outside.

"Uncle." Zhuang Jinhan saw it immediately.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Lu Siyu also saw Song Jue and asked suspiciously.

"The restaurant has been found, but I have something to discuss with you, so I came here to find you." Song Jue entered the room, and only then noticed that there was another person in the room. When he saw that person, he couldn't help but stare. He opened his eyes and opened his mouth to scream, but was stopped by the other party's eyes.

"Song Jue, you can't talk anymore when you see me?" The emperor smiled.

"Where, I was just taken aback. Young Master Qi is busy with business, so I didn't expect to see Young Master Qi here." Song Jue also laughed. Since the emperor didn't want his real identity to be known, he naturally followed the emperor's words. , but among the people present, perhaps only Lu Siyu was concealed.

"It's obviously you who are busy with affairs, Mr. Song family seems to be very busy recently?" The emperor teased.

"Where is it? I've been very busy recently. I really don't have any free time." Song Jue waved his hands quickly, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, a lot of things would fall on his head. , it happens that Young Master Qi is here, why don't we go and have a look together?"

"That's fine, anyway, I have nothing to do today, so I might as well go and have a look." The emperor nodded, probably he really made up his mind to wander around today.

In such a short time, the two had already chatted together.

Lu Siyu and Zhuang Jinhan walked behind. Hearing the chat between the two, he couldn't help asking Zhuang Jinhan suspiciously: "Brother Zhuang, do you know Young Master Qi very well?"

"Well, they have a good relationship, because when we were young, my uncle always took us to play, so even when we grow up, we have a good relationship." Zhuang Jinhan explained simply.

Many people know that Zhuang Jinhan and the emperor grew up together and have a very good relationship, so few people will offend Zhuang Jinhan, but many people don't know that Song Jue took them with them when they were young.

"No wonder Brother Zhuang and uncle have such a good relationship." Lu Siyu nodded. He saw that the relationship between Song Jue and Zhuang Jinhan was not like an ordinary nephew, but like a good friend. Hearing what Zhuang Jinhan said now, maybe I understand what's going on.

"My uncle liked to do business when he was very young, but my grandfather hoped that my uncle could get a good reputation and become an official in the court. At that time, the relationship between my uncle and my grandfather was very bad, so he always came to my house. My uncle and my mother have a good relationship, so At that time, my uncle was with me all the time, and sometimes my uncle would have many weird ideas for making money, but only a few of them could make money, and most of them were paid for by ourselves." Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile.

"I thought my uncle was a good businessman since he was a child." Lu Siyu said.

"My uncle really likes to do business, and he knows how to infer other cases from one instance. It's just that at the beginning, my uncle didn't know how to do business, so he lost money. But after that, he gradually became proficient, and his business basically wouldn't lose money. After my uncle became an imperial merchant, grandpa only agreed with what my uncle did." Zhuang Jinhan explained, anyway, Lu Siyu would know about these things sooner or later, so it's okay to say it earlier.

"I see, but my uncle is really good. After all, no one can become an imperial merchant through hard work." Lu Siyu said seriously. He always thought that Song Jue was smart. Such a person could become an imperial merchant not only because of his family background, but also because of his family background. Also because of his intelligence.

Song Jue led the way, and they walked towards the restaurant.

Lu Siyu walked for a while, and suddenly noticed that someone was building a house not far away, but this is not the point, the point is the materials that person used.

Is there any cement at this time?It didn't appear in his memory, and even in this era, he had never seen anyone build a house with cement.

"But what if it's true?" Lu Siyu subconsciously said.

"What is it?" Zhuang Jinhan followed Lu Siyu's gaze and saw someone building a house not far away, but he didn't know what Lu Siyu meant, "What are you looking at?"

"I want to go and have a look." Lu Siyu suddenly said that the development of cement is actually divided into several stages, but as long as there is the first stage, it will be much easier to continue to develop in the subsequent stages. Most importantly, the appearance of cement is also Lay the foundation for road infrastructure.

"Let's go to the restaurant first. They are building a house. They can't finish it in a short time, and they won't disappear suddenly." Zhuang Jinhan said, although he didn't understand the reason for Lu Siyu's sudden impulse, but the two of them are not the only ones right now, so naturally they can't capricious.

In just a moment, Lu Siyu understood Zhuang Jinhan's meaning, and nodded directly: "Okay, let's look at it later."

Concrete...concrete...asphalt! ! !

Cement is indispensable in the development of modern industry, but cement roads are not the only option for road construction. Relatively speaking, asphalt is much easier to manufacture, and the resin secreted by Cupressaceae plants can also be used to pave roads. To use asphalt to build roads, it is necessary to cut down a large number of trees, and blindly laying asphalt roads is not feasible.

But the idea belongs to the idea, and this matter cannot be decided too quickly. It still needs to be considered clearly first, and then take it slowly.
