Take Taobao to ancient times

"Why, mother can't talk about you?" Mother Zhuang said with a straight face, as if she didn't like Zhuang Jinhan interrupting her very much.

"It's nothing," Zhuang Jinhan smiled, "It's just that it's time to eat, and I'll ask someone to bring the food."

"Alright," Zhuang's mother nodded, and looked at the four of Lu Siyu kindly, "Aren't you hungry too, the food at Auntie's house is delicious, you must eat more later."

"Thank you, auntie." Lu Siyu replied.

Since arriving at the dealer, the three of Lu Siyue and the others have spoken very little, and Lu Siyu is not reluctant, so whenever he needs to answer a conversation, he will answer it, even if he is panicked in his heart.

Not long after, Father Zhuang also came over.

Fortunately, although Father Zhuang had a serious face, he was still a little relaxed towards Lu Siyu and the others, and finally he didn't scare them to tears.

The dealer's meals are not rich, but they are definitely exquisite.

Seven people dine, a total of seven dishes and one soup, plus a full bowl of white rice, no matter the amount of food or dishes, it is enough.

Since Lu Siyu got the money, he started to provide extra meals for the three children. As time passed, the health of the three children was much better than at the beginning, and they would not be greedy for other people's meat.

But today's meal, Lu Siyu felt a little bored.

I don't know if the dealer has a rule of not talking when eating or sleeping. They don't say a word during the meal. In this way, Lu Siyu naturally can't speak, and Lu Siyue and the others are even more so. They just eat in silence, chopsticks What he poked was just a dish in front of him.

After finally finishing his meal, Lu Siyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that he was not suitable for living in this kind of environment. If he was really allowed to eat like this all the time, he would definitely not be able to bear it. Probably his heart was just that of a commoner, so he couldn't be a big shot.

"Xiao Yu." Father Zhuang suddenly said.

"Uncle." Lu Siyu shuddered all over, and quickly responded.

"Come here with me, I have something I want to talk to you about." Father Zhuang got up, and didn't respond to Lu Siyu's timidity at all. He didn't see one or two such reactions.

"Okay." Lu Siyu got up, then turned around and told Lu Siyue, "Yueyue, take good care of your brother, I'll go back as soon as I go."

"En." Lu Siyue nodded obediently, holding the hands of Lu Siyun and Lu Sile with her left and right hands respectively.

Lu Siyu followed Father Zhuang and came to...the study.

Didn't you say that the study is an important place?Why do both father and son like to bring people into the study?

"Xiao Yu, actually I called you out today mainly because I wanted to ask about sweet potatoes." Father Zhuang said seriously.

"Well, Uncle, tell me." Lu Siyu replied quickly.

"You gave us a booklet before. I've read the booklet, but there are some questions in it that I still don't quite understand. It just so happens that you're here in the capital, so I'd like to ask you to help me answer these questions." When facing the need to consult others, Father Zhuang's posture is also very accurate, and he will never give people the feeling of bossing around.

Lu Siyu quickly regained his composure and answered Zhuang's father's questions in the booklet one by one.

In fact, Zhuang's father's questions are very simple, but because of the differences in language and description, there will be some influence. In addition, the confusion caused by Zhuang's father's unfamiliarity with agriculture, but Zhuang's father is very smart and knows how to infer other cases from one instance. After Lu Siyu answered one by one, Father Zhuang quickly understood all the questions.

"So that's it. So, if you need to sow, you can also harvest in advance, but that's it?" Father Zhuang said in surprise.

"That's true, but sweet potatoes like temperature. If the weather is too hot, it will affect the growth, so it is best to sow in spring and autumn." Lu Siyu wanted to say that the temperature is more than ten degrees, but there is no thermometer in this era, so naturally there is no concept of temperature. Therefore, we can only use the general "warmth" and "spring and autumn" instead.

"The sooner the sweet potato spreads, the better. Once the sweet potato spreads across the country, it will be a great boost to our military strength." Father Zhuang said bluntly, as if he had no intention of hiding it in front of Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu was stunned for a moment, wondering whether he should respond to Father Zhuang's words or not.

He just wants to be an ordinary commoner, at most a commoner who makes more money, why are there so many things...

"Then what does Xiao Yu think about the sweet potatoes?" Father Zhuang asked again.

"Um... I think if it's a march, it's better to use sweet potatoes as dry food and dry them in the sun. It's easy to carry and can be stored for a long time. It's probably better." Lu Siyu wasn't sure, the dried sweet potatoes would change to a certain extent It is hard, and almost all the moisture inside has been dried, so it can indeed be stored for a long time.

"Good!" Father Zhuang praised, "The production of sweet potatoes is not enough right now. In the coming year, sweet potatoes will be planted nationwide, and the problem of food and grass will naturally be solved by then."

Lu Siyu nodded. According to the memory of the original owner, there were also countries that were eyeing him in his previous dynasty, and their military strength could not be ignored.

But is it really okay for Father Zhuang to tell him such a thing?

"Father." Zhuang Jinhan's voice came from outside the door.

"What are you doing here?" Father Zhuang frowned, showing a completely different attitude from when he faced Lu Siyu before.

"I'm going to the palace, there are some things I need to talk to the emperor face to face." Zhuang Jinhan said.

"Go, go, it's just a Pozhi County, why do you have so many things, tell me how many times you have come back this year?" Father Zhuang frowned, looking at Zhuang Jinhan as if he was looking at someone he didn't want to see at all same as people.

"Father, every time my son comes back for business." Zhuang Jinhan was a little dumbfounded.

"It's business, it's not all messy things. If you want to enter the palace, go quickly. Don't you want the emperor to wait for you?" Father Zhuang scolded, his eyes full of displeasure.

"I'll go right away, but Daddy, Brother Yu..." Zhuang Jinhan had already gotten used to Zhuangfu's temper, but was afraid that Lu Siyu would not be used to it, so he came over to take a look in the name of telling.

"Do I look like someone who swears indiscriminately?" Father Zhuang looked at Zhuang Jinhan seriously.

"Brother Zhuang, hurry up and enter the palace, don't keep the emperor waiting, uncle is very kind, really." As if afraid that Zhuang Jinhan would not believe it, Lu Siyu added a sentence at the end, in fact, Zhuang's father really didn't say anything bad to him Face to face, even the demeanor is very gentle.

Zhuang Jinhan seemed to be the only one reprimanded by Father Zhuang.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Jinhan seemed a little pitiful.

Thinking about it, Lu Siyu glanced at Zhuang Jinhan quietly. This is probably the so-called "Strict father's heart to hope that the child will become a dragon".

Zhuang Jinhan noticed Lu Siyu's eyes on him, he only thought that he was afraid of worrying himself, but he never thought that he was pitying himself, if he knew...

Probably excited.

Too bad he didn't know.

After Zhuang Jinhan left, Father Zhuang sighed, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was talking to Lu Siyu: "Tell me about this kid, why is he so unreliable? It was the same before. It took a lot of money to build a river channel. Manpower, material and financial resources, and the national treasury is not a bottomless pit. Over the years, in order to appease the common people, the national treasury has not been filled for a single day. Finally, this year’s life is better, and there is another thing to build a river, really! Alas!!!”

He Dao...does he have to bear the blame?

Lu Siyu didn't know what to say anymore. Is it really okay for Father Zhuang to say such things in front of him?He is an outsider, a passerby.

He suddenly felt that today was really exhausting, tired, and wanted to cry QAQ.

However, Lu Siyu's voice was not heard by Zhuang's father. He sighed and continued: "And recently, Jin Han's uncle has invented some bicycles and sewing machines. There, isn’t this not doing business properly!!!”

Lu Siyu pursed his lips, it seemed that this was still his fault.

And this matter happened to be Lu Siyu's stake, unlike the previous incident of the river course, which could not be said or said, as long as Father Zhuang inquired, he would know that Lu Siyu was definitely involved in this matter.

Once it is revealed at that time, I don't know if Zhuang's father will be angry with Lu Siyu for hiding it.

"Uncle, what do you think the emperor lacks the most?" Lu Siyu asked, and the first sentence was a rhetorical question. He couldn't let the matter be unraveled until it was a last resort. If Father Zhuang really knew about it at that time, More or less will vent his anger on him.

It's not because this matter is really bad, but because he clearly heard about it today, but kept it secret, not to mention Father Zhuang, anyone would be angry.

"What's missing?" Zhuang's father was really just expressing his emotions. He was full of words and had nothing to say, just complaining, and these words must not be said to those officials, otherwise someone will definitely use chicken feathers as an arrow , Hearing Lu Siyu's question right now, he also froze for a moment, "Lack of strong national strength?"

"Uncle's words are true or not," Lu Siyu said seriously, "Actually, uncle has mentioned this issue before, because of various things, the current treasury is empty, so what the emperor lacks most at present is money."

"Money?" Father Zhuang hesitated, this was a good statement, but it didn't sound very elegant.

"Yes, the emperor is short of money, very short of money, but he can't tell you this, nor can he tell others. Just now there is such a person who can help the emperor make money. Do you think the emperor will be happy?" Lu Siyu asked cautiously Looking at Father Zhuang's expression, he was afraid that Father Zhuang would become angry.

"What do you mean?" Father Zhuang began to think.

"Small... This is what Mr. Song is doing. He is sharing the emperor's worries, so he tries to find novel gadgets. These things don't need to be very practical. It doesn't matter whether they are not doing business or embroidered pillows. The point is that they can make money and can be filled. The national treasury." Lu Siyu said seriously, drawing this conclusion from Zhuangfu's words, Song Jue's behavior and identity, he believed that this should be the correct answer.

"Make money, fill the national treasury, strengthen the national power, so it is so, so it is so!!!" Father Zhuang suddenly realized, and hurried out of the study, "Madam, hurry up, let someone prepare clothes for me, I want to enter the palace!"

Lu Siyu looked at the background of Zhuang's father's departure. It's not that Zhuang's father couldn't think of what he said. It's just that there are some things that the authorities are obsessed with. Zhuang's father is in a situation, and he can't think about things from the perspective of a third person like him, so he fell into a dead end. .

Now that Lu Siyu said it, with Father Zhuang's intelligence, he could naturally understand the meaning immediately.

It's just... the "phase" on the plaque at the door.

Emma, ​​suddenly felt a little weak in her legs.
