Pei Shilang, Rong Cheng and others were arranged to have dinner in the East Wing.Because Eunuch Laixi was going to give rewards to old man Zhao, old man Zhao was very enthusiastic and must entertain Eunuch Laixi. In the future, Eunuch Xi arranged a table for him in the west wing.

Their meals are similar to those of the empress, half hard vegetables and half sweet potatoes.

The emperors and empresses ate with relish, and they had nothing to be picky about.

"Pei Shilang, you have taken care of this brother well." Prime Minister Rong said he wanted to run on Pei Shilang, but he was envious in his heart.

If he can raise a brother like Pei Qi who can be married with the credit of discovering high-yield grain, not only can he get the marriage endorsement from the emperor, but also can promote his natal father and brother, and even bring a good reputation to his natal family. Too happy to sleep.Don't look at the fact that now only Pei Huan has been promoted to the official position by the Holy One, and no rewards have been given to the rest of the Pei family.In fact, this is just because Dali Siqing just retired this year and there is a vacancy. After two years, Wang Shangshu's position has changed, and Pei Shilang should take over.

If Pei Shilang had lived longer and remained in such good health, it might be his turn to be the prime minister.

The more he thought about it, the more likely Prime Minister Rong felt.

Pei Shen had been motionless for 20 years, but when he wanted to move, he made a big move.

These are still practical benefits. As for the invisibility, with a talisman, as long as the Pei family does not engage in collaborating with the enemy and treason, no one will touch them while the Qi Dynasty is still alive.

When Pei Shilang heard what Prime Minister Rong said, his face became even darker.Your Majesty is a fool, he married Zhao Shutong's family Qiqi after a few words with Zhao Shutong.Originally, the emperor said that he would open Enke, and he planned to keep Qiqi in Enke before discussing the marriage, and he could keep Qiqi for one more year, but it's not as good as God's plan, how could he think that the emperor would come out to make trouble for him.At this time, his anger was not going his way, how could he stand Prime Minister Rong running on him.

"The lower official's Qiqi is a unique treasure in the world. Others can't give birth to it if they want to. Prime Minister, don't embarrass yourself at your age." Pei Shilang sarcastically said.

"The old man just said that you have raised a good son, Pei Shilang. When did you say you were going to give birth to yourself?" Prime Minister Rong was stunned. Even though Pei Shilang had made such a great contribution, he still had a stinking mouth, and he was still the same It's annoying, he's almost seventy years old, he already has great-grandchildren, what kind of children will he have?

"Prime Minister, if you don't mean that, how can I hear it. It's only natural for the Prime Minister to want your descendant Changmian, and I won't laugh at you." Pei Shilang played his old-fashioned style.

The Prime Minister naturally couldn't bear the blame of being an old man who didn't want to have a brother, and he said out of embarrassment, "I'm afraid Mr. Pei sold his son, there must be some ghosts in his heart. "

Pei Shilang loved Pei Qi the most, and he was not very satisfied with the marriage between Pei Qi and Zhao Shutong.If Pei Qi didn't like Zhao Shutong, he would really be able to directly recommend Zhao Shutong not to offer sweet potatoes. Prime Minister Rong, an outsider who knows nothing, even mocked him for selling his son, Pei Shilang immediately erupted .

"Why did the lower official become the kind of person who sells his son? If it wasn't for Zhao Shutong rushing to marry him with sweet potatoes, the lower official was moved by his sincerity. The prime minister thought that the lower official would agree to his marriage." Pei Shilang said I didn't even eat after dinner, so I rolled up my sleeves and asked Prime Minister Rong to clarify the words, "Your Excellency, you just say that you are going to sell your son without proof. If you don't make your words clear today, you will be making a fuss if you go down to the government." Go to the imperial court and seek justice from the emperor."

Xie Ling, who was eating honestly and watching the fun, saw the two adults wanting to fight and quickly stopped them, "My lords, the Holy Majesty and Your Majesty are still resting in the main room, my lords, let's calm down a bit."

"Xie Shizi, you come to judge. The emperor gave marriage to my Qiqi and Zhao Juren, so this old man is the one who sells his son."

"My lord is right." Xie Ling said.

"Master Xie, are you afraid of this old man? He didn't give enough benefits to others, how could Zhao Juren give such a great credit for offering sweet potatoes to the Pei family?" Prime Minister Rong said again.

Xie Ling knew this, combined with the fact that Zhao Shutong used sweet potatoes as a betrothal gift for Pei Qi this time and Xie Yi faintly realized that Zhao Shutong went to Furong Garden for Pei Qi last time, Xie Ling knew that Pei Qi and There is probably an affair between Zhao Shutong, and the sweet potato is Zhao Shutong's apology to Pei Qi, and it is also sincere.

Many people have also guessed in this direction in their hearts. Only the Prime Minister is not afraid of Pei Shilang saying it in front of Pei Shilang, but with the credit for discovering sweet potatoes, offering sweet potatoes, and the emperor's gift of marriage, ordinary people will not doubt it in the future even if they have doubts. Don't dare to spread rumors on the surface again.

After all, there is nothing wrong with the marriage bestowed by the emperor.

In fact, the emperor gave Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi a marriage, which might not have fulfilled their intentions.

His mother, Princess Xuanyang, guessed yesterday that the emperor may reuse Zhao Shutong in the future, and it is very likely that he will be asked to find good seeds or farm land.Zhao Shutong's experience of discovering sweet potatoes sounded like a scholar who didn't know much about farming. He was tricked into buying sweet potatoes by the saying that the foreign people could produce [-] catties per mu, and then planted them by mistake. But seeing Zhao Shutong Tong wrote the sweet potato brochure from breeding to harvesting, as well as the researched food, saying that he didn't have any calculations in his mind. Princess Xuanyang didn't believe it anyway, and Xie Ling also felt that what his mother said made sense.This Zhao Juren who once gave Xie Yi a pot of Suhe Guanding and took the post of Furong Garden should be proficient in farming and flower growing.

Xie Ling admired Zhao Shutong's courage even if he could give up such credits as sweet potatoes without blinking an eye. Such a person can make friends.

Xie Ling was innocently involved in the dispute between the two adults, so he could only appease both sides, and then he did not please both sides.

Fortunately, these two people were worried that they were in Shitai Village, and they wanted to maintain their majesty as high officials of the imperial court, and they couldn't let the peasants in these villages see the jokes, and they didn't really fight.

After the emperor's lunch break at Zhao's house, he set off for the palace.

Before leaving, the emperor asked Eunuch Laixi to beat Zhao Shutong, "Zhao Juren, the emperor just said that the merchant who sold sweet potatoes to you has not been found, and it is impossible to know the origin of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are rare. It would be a pity if you lost the Wu Zang Temple. The emperor you used before will not be held accountable, if there are any leftovers, you might as well plant them and distribute them to the surrounding villagers."

Although the emperor was dissatisfied with Zhao Shutong's poaching so many sweet potatoes before, it was a small credit for Zhao Shutong to make so much food. Thinking about it, there were not many sweet potatoes left in his hand, so he didn't take away the sweet potatoes that Zhao Shutong had. cut out.Instead, Eunuch Laixi told this Zhao Juren not to just think about eating, but to fill the stomachs of the people with sweet potatoes.

The emperor had orders, so Zhao Shutong naturally obeyed obediently, "Students would like to follow the teachings of the sage, thank you for your kind words today."

"You're welcome, the emperor also wants to see Zhao Juren. If the emperor doesn't want to see him, it's useless to say more. The emperor also said that he is looking for Zhao Juren, the businessman you mentioned earlier, and asked Zhao Juren to cooperate with Yulin Wei to identify him. Wei will come to Zhao Juren when he needs it. If he can find someone, the emperor will give you another reward." Eunuch Laixi said with a smile.

"The students will definitely cooperate with Yulinwei to find the sweet potato seller as soon as possible." Zhao Shutong replied, thinking of the non-existent blond foreigner, Zhao Shutong still felt a little guilty.He deceived this man who was at the pinnacle of power in ancient times, and the emperor even used a lot of manpower to track it down. It was really a life-threatening stimulus.

But the more this time, the more stable he is.

Otherwise, the unlucky ones would be either the blond Gentiles or myself.Although Zhao Shutong has lived in this peaceful era for a long time, but when it comes to life and death matters, disasters are naturally caused.

Zhao Shutong sent off Eunuch Laixi politely, and sent off Yujia respectfully.

After the emperor left, Zhao Shutong thought that the emperor had a really bad temper. He typically picked up the bowl to eat and put it down to scold his mother.He obviously didn't eat less just now, but looking back, he thought he made food out of sweet potatoes.

Zhao Shutong dug up more than 300 catties of sweet potatoes, and consumed more than 200 catties in total to make these delicacies, leaving [-] catties, unable to distribute enough sweet potato seedlings to every household in Shitai Village, and really had to plant them again once.However, this time Zhao Shutong doesn't plan to grow it himself, he should give it to the village and let the village grow it for himself.After the villagers plant it and sell it to the surrounding villages at a low price, it is also an income.

After the emperor returned to the palace with sweet potatoes, he issued a decree declaring that the world had obtained the high-yielding variety of sweet potatoes.

There were four provinces affected by drought in the northwest. The emperor sent a thousand catties of sweet potatoes to each of the four provinces. Along with the sweet potatoes, Zhao Shutong’s sweet potato planting manual was also sent to the local officials to raise seedlings and organize the people. For planting, the mutated sweet potatoes presented by Zhao Shutong have a short maturity period and can be harvested once in two and a half months, but they are not resistant to low temperature and can only be planted three times a year. Let farmers in the whole province grow sweet potatoes.

Although this task is arduous, it is not difficult to achieve because of the amazing yield of sweet potatoes.

With the delivery of sweet potatoes, the crisis-ridden northwest once again glowed with vitality and hope.

Zhao Shutong received the imperial decree of marriage on the third day after the emperor returned to the palace, and with it came the 500 taels of gold presented to him by the empress.Because the emperor and queen had lunch at Zhao Shutong's house and rested for half an hour, the gate of Zhao's house was about to be broken down by the villagers of Shitai Village and people from nearby villages.

Everyone wants to see what kind of bowl the emperor ate, the cup he drank from, and the chair he sat on.

Some people wanted to see the personal jade pendant bestowed by the emperor on the old man Zhao, but the old man guarded it tightly, except for a few people close to him, he refused everyone who wanted to see it.

There are also some people who heard that Zhao Shutong offered the emperor sweet potatoes capable of yielding three thousand catties per mu. The emperor came to Shitai Village and wanted to come to Zhao Shutong to buy sweet potatoes and plant them back.

Now that the imperial decree has granted marriage to Zhao Shutong and the elder brother of the servant's family, the Zhao family is even more lively. This time, the people who came here wanted to see the imperial decree.

Zhao Shutong couldn't bear the disturbance, and took Zhao Gui to the capital to find a suitable house.

Zhao Shutong naturally didn't dislike his small yard, but it would be too shabby to use such a yard for getting married.Not to mention the lack of entertainment for the guests, Pei Qi's dowry may not be able to fit in, Zhao Shutong wants to buy a spacious mansion.

Zhao Shutong and Zhao Gui ran two tooth shops, but the housing resources in the capital had already been divided up by officials and rich businessmen, and most of the rest were small courtyards that entered once, twice, and thirdly.There are few houses for four or five, and there are one or two suitable ones, but the price is very high. It costs 8000 taels of silver, and Zhao Shutong, who only has 500 taels of gold donated by the queen, can't afford it at all.And the cheap ones, the location is not good.

There is a house with a good location and a good house, but its previous owner was the outer room of the emperor’s uncle, Prince Jing. After being discovered by the violent Princess Jing, the outer room was assigned as a servant. Princess Jing hated that the house was dirty by that woman. , and wanted to sell it at a low price, but because of the previous reasons, this house is not suitable for a new house.
