Take Taobao to ancient times

The emergence of cotton will have a great impact on this era. Under the influence of Lu Siyu, Zhuang Jinhan also attaches great importance to the existence of cotton, but before the cotton can be harvested, something else caught their attention.

After returning from the sea, Lu Siyu once gave some seeds to his uncles and uncles, hoping that they could plant them, but after that, he didn't take care of it anymore.

But in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, a news spread from the county where Lu Siyu was born to the capital, and immediately reached Zhuang Jinhan's ears.

Lu Siyu was called here on purpose. Besides him and Zhuang Jinhan, there were several adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.

"Don't know who this is?"

"He is the one who discovered the sweet potato." Zhuang Jinhan introduced. Among the many things Lu Siyu did, this is the only one that is public, and it is also not too eye-catching. After all, it is completely It can be explained by luck.

"That's right, I heard," someone stroked his beard and said, "Master Zhuang once said that the surname of the person who planted sweet potatoes was Lu. Now that a year has passed, many ordinary people can eat and drink enough. The discovery of sweet potatoes is indeed true." It is a great contribution, presumably this is Mr. Lu, but I don't know what today's matter has to do with Mr. Lu."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. I think Mr. Li also heard that a new crop has been discovered in a county, and the yield is as high as a thousand catties." Zhuang Jinhan smiled.

"Isn't it precisely because of this that we came here today?" Mr. Li was surprised, but only for a short moment, he suddenly realized, "Could it be this Mr. Lu?"

"Indeed, the place where that crop was discovered this time is still in that place, and it was grown on the same land as sweet potatoes." Zhuang Jinhan smiled and looked at Lu Siyu who had already guessed the reason.

This batch of seeds was also obtained in the name of obtaining them from overseas, so Zhuang Jinhan knew that Lu Siyu took a lot of seeds back, but he didn't know what kind of seeds they were. Now that the news has come, he naturally understands the source of the seeds.

Moreover, the magistrate of the county where Lujia Village is located is from Prime Minister Zhuang. This news may reach Prime Minister Zhuang's ears immediately, and there will be no mistakes.

Including new crops from Lujia Village.

"The crops planted in Lujia Village this time also come from overseas, so everything planted belongs to the imperial court." Lu Siyu took the initiative to say that he still bought the seeds from Taobao this time, but he did not buy them to deceive others. Didn't take out much, and blamed it on the income from going to sea.

He firmly believes that with sweet potatoes and this, the problem of fullness will be completely solved.

"Since it was planted by you, it is naturally owned by you, but it is said that the output is a bit large this time, so the imperial court will buy this kind of thing from you in the same way as it bought sweet potatoes before, but I don't know what the name of this thing is?" Master Li asked, He has been devoted to agriculture all his life, and the appearance of sweet potatoes has made him overjoyed before, but now such a fresh crop has appeared, it is simply ecstasy.

"It's called corn."

"Corn?" Master Li was surprised, "Why is it called corn?"

"What is the specific reason, Master Li will know when he sees the fruit." Lu Siyu smiled lightly, knowing that he was called because of the corn, he also felt relieved.

However, in the case of sweet potato pearls and jade, the appearance of corn will not shock the whole country, but in any case, the yield of corn still greatly exceeds that of others, so we still have to pay attention to it.

"Okay, then I will go with you to see what the corn looks like!" Master Li directly patted the table to decide.

"Since Mr. Li has already decided, it's better to count me in." Zhuang Jinhan smiled.

"I almost forgot. Mr. Zhuang seemed to be the magistrate of this county before. It's been nearly a year since he left, and it's time to go back and have a look." Mr. Li echoed, and directly made Zhuang Jinhan a nostalgic person. No matter what Zhuang Jinhan said, he would go along with it.

It's not that Mr. Li tends to follow others, it's just that people who can rise up in the officialdom are not low in emotional intelligence. If Zhuang Jinhan is a dude, he would still struggle to flatter him, but Zhuang Jinhan's ability is not bad, and coupled with the influence of Zhuang Xiang, he Of course I will choose to say more good things.

Among the officials in charge of these matters this time, there are naturally some who are not used to Zhuang Jinhan. Some are from different factions, and some are self-proclaimed and unwilling to join forces with others. Come out to make trouble, the latter is "disdain" to communicate.

Lu Siyu didn't know much about the officialdom, but he could see that there were a few people present at the scene, and there were some officials who were smiling and not smiling, and there were officials who looked at people with their nostrils, but they didn't take the initiative to come over, so he wouldn't be too many What to say, anyway, these matters are Zhuang Jinhan's own affairs, and he believes that Zhuang Jinhan will be able to handle them well.

Just then, someone came in suddenly.

"Master Zhuang, the chief eunuch next to the emperor has sent a message, and he is already waiting outside." The person who spoke was a servant here, and he was probably too nervous, so his footsteps and tone were a little flustered.

This place is not the mansion of a certain adult, but a place dedicated to cultivating plants. These adults are also people who "work" here. Because this is a newly established department in a large company, the servants in it Neither was very professional.

Lu Siyu thought silently, but the position of chief eunuch seems a bit powerful.

"Let's go out. Since we are the chief eunuch next to the emperor, we must have something important to do." Someone said, as if he couldn't wait to go out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the room rushed out in an instant. Even the most noble people would not be able to stand tall when facing the emperor.

"Brother Yu, just stay here, I'll go back when I go." Zhuang Jinhan said, Lu Siyu was called here also suddenly, the chief eunuch's coming here has nothing to do with Lu Siyu, so it doesn't matter if he stays here.

"Let's go, stay here and be caught by others." Lu Siyu was helpless, he didn't want to care about the imperial power of this era, but this is an era of supremacy of imperial power, if he stays here, if he is hated by others, then Even jumping into the Yellow River can't clean it up.

But this is because Lu Siyu didn't know about the relationship between Zhuang Jinhan and the emperor. If he knew about the relationship between the two, he probably wouldn't be so nervous and could relax a little.

"Alright, then let's go together." Zhuang Jinhan smiled, he promised that he could protect Lu Siyu, but he couldn't guarantee that no villain would worry about it.

Since everyone went out in one go, the last two became the slowest existence. When the two arrived, there were already many people waiting outside. Seeing the two appeared, everyone's eyes turned Come together.

"Lord Xiaozhuang, the emperor asked our family to come to you, saying that he wanted you to go to the palace." The chief eunuch got up quickly when he saw Zhuang Jinhan, and said respectfully.

"Looking for me? Did the emperor say what it was?" Zhuang Jinhan was surprised.

"Our family doesn't know about this matter. Our family is here to convey the meaning of the emperor." The chief eunuch smiled. He can reach this position, of course he knows the meaning of the emperor, but sometimes there are things that he shouldn't know , he still has to act as if he doesn't know, if everything is done for the emperor, his life is probably at the end.

"In that case, let's go to the palace." Zhuang Jinhan nodded, glanced at Lu Siyu, nodded slightly, and then left with the chief eunuch.

Zhuang Jinhan had already left, and it was inconvenient for Lu Siyu to stay here, so he hurriedly left. Anyway, this trip must be going to Lujia Village, so there is no rush.

Inside the palace.

"Jin Han, I have heard that such a novel crop was discovered in Lujia Village?" the emperor asked.

"Yes, but it's not considered to be discovered by Lujia Village. Those seeds are the seeds brought back from the sea this time." Zhuang Jinhan said. He only knew that Lu Siyu brought back a lot of seeds, but he didn't know when he bought them. Clearly, he bought too many seeds this time, and he didn't know most of them, so he couldn't remember them.

"Oh? Found it overseas? Then why is this crop in Lujia Village? Jinhan, do you still have something to hide from me?" the emperor asked.

"I dare not, in fact, Si Yu is also accompanying me when I go to sea this time..." Zhuang Jinhan briefly told the emperor the ins and outs of this matter.

In fact, this matter is not a concealment. When he came back, the emperor had asked about the relevant matters of the sea trip, but at that time he only noticed the things he brought back. As for the people who went, because they all came back safely, so He doesn't care.

Now that Zhuang Jinhan talked about it, he finally sorted out the whole thing.

"So the Mr. Lu mentioned by Mr. Wang is Lu Siyu?" The emperor asked back.

"It should be. I don't know what Lord Wang said to the emperor, but this time Si Yu went to sea at the order of my uncle, and went instead of my uncle, so it is inconvenient to publicize it." Zhuang Jinhan put Lu Siyu's going to sea on Song Jue, It is also easier for the emperor to accept.

"Master Wang only said a few words, the so-called Mr. Lu just mentioned it, and Song Jue didn't even mention it." The emperor shook his head, "You guys, if it wasn't for this incident, you still planned to hide it. I can't do it?"

"I don't dare, it's just that Si Yu's going to sea is a trivial matter, so Mr. Wang and my uncle didn't specifically mention it." Zhuang Jinhan said.

This is not unreasonable. After all, it is impossible for the emperor to know the situation of everyone on board. Except for a few important people, there are so many others. To waste it on this is really putting the cart before the horse.

"Forget it, what you said is reasonable," the emperor shook his head helplessly, "but this Lu Siyu seems to be a talent."

Zhuang Jinhan was about to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor.

"I know what you mean, this Lu Siyu is not determined to be an official, and I will not force him, and what he has done is already better than many officials. On the contrary, if he is forced to stay in the court as an official, then he will He's in shackles, let him follow Song Jue, that's a good thing." The emperor smiled with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"It's good to be really wise, Jin Han, you and Song Jue are my right-hand men, don't let me down." The emperor said seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!"
