The husband is a love brain

Thinking that Pei Qi likes this kind of idyllic artistic conception of men farming and women weaving, Zhao Shutong got up early the next day and took Pei Qi to the field for a walk.

Now there are still some immature millet and millet growing in the ground, and it will take another one or two months to harvest.

Some sharecroppers have already started to work in the fields.

Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi walked in the field. Pei Qi looked at the crops that were still growing for a while, and at the people who went to the field for a while, "Master, farming is really hard."

Zhao Shutong agreed and said yes.

"Master, do you know how to farm?"

"I only know how to grow sweet potatoes." Zhao Shutong said casually.

And Pei Qi is waiting for him here, "So, master, you also lied to me, brother weaving and weaving."

Zhao Shutong was speechless when he saw Pei Qi questioning him, "Growing sweet potatoes is also farming, Pei Xiaoqi, don't use bean buns as dry food."

"Oh." Pei Qi replied in disappointment, expressing his displeasure at not being able to catch the master's handle, "Then would you plant other things?"

"Yes, didn't we buy seeds like gold and corn together a few days ago."

Well, Pei Qi also remembered.

In order to prove that he knows how to farm, Zhao Shutong dragged Pei Qi to the sweet potato field.

"We eat the roots of sweet potatoes. The vines and leaves of sweet potatoes can also be fed to pigs, chickens and ducks. It can be said that there is no useless part of the whole body of sweet potatoes. With such a large return rate, the disadvantage of eating fat is negligible. .” Zhao Shutong pointed to the sweet potato field and explained to Pei Qi.

After listening to Zhao Shutong talk about sweet potatoes, Pei Qi said, "Master, the corn you bought last time."

Zhao Shutong led Pei Qi to the corn field again, "You see, these corns look very good now, don't they?"

"Ah."

"But its condition is actually not as good as we thought. Corn is prone to disease, wind and rain or insufficient or too much sunlight will affect the yield. If it is not properly taken care of, it will also cause lodging. In severe cases, there will be no harvest." Zhao said. Shutong said.

"It's more troublesome than raising a child," Pei Qi said.

Zhao Shutong nodded, it was really troublesome.The situation of corn is changeable, unlike sweet potatoes, which have strong vitality. Before popularization and promotion, repeated experiments must be carried out to master various situations.

"Master, corn is so troublesome, why do you want to plant it?"

"Corn tastes good, yields high, has high nutritional value, and can also be used to make sugar. How can we give up so many advantages? Qiqi, sometimes we don't have to do things because they are troublesome. What we have to do is think Ways to overcome this difficulty, not avoid him."

After Zhao Shutong taught the little husband, he personally accompanied Pei Qi to dig a few vegetables in the ground before going back.The two of them were clean when they came, but their hands were covered in mud when they returned.

After having dinner with the old man Zhao, Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi returned to the capital, closed the door and continued to study.

Pei Shilang went to see the emperor about Zhao Shutong's business.

It’s fine if the brother-in-law’s wool business can’t be done, but if he does, he may not be able to resist when there are too many jealous people, so he should report to the emperor first.

Since marrying his son, he has added a brother-in-law who worries him.

If Pei Shilang Zhao Shutong continues to do this, he may have to work for another 20 years to support them.

"Why is Aiqing so sad? Everyone in your family is promising. Even the old brother is honored as the Sweet Potato Empress. After his death, people will offer incense to him. You have already enjoyed the ultimate blessing in the world." Don't cry so sadly. Feel like someone owes you money.

"Your majesty, don't make fun of the veterans. The sweet potato lady is rumored by the ignorant people. Where can I make the sweet potato lady in Qiqi. It is the emperor's grace that allows the sweet potato to be popularized in my Daqi land. The people are grateful." It's you, Your Majesty." Pei Shilang said.The emperor is really too busy these days, and whenever he catches the opportunity, he would joke about Qiqi being called the Sweet Potato Empress, knowing what happened and pretending not to know, the emperor really has a thick skin.

"I think your family's Pei Qi deserves it. Ai Qing doesn't need to refuse." The emperor said, "The people's praise is also a heartfelt wish. Don't be too narrow-minded."

A little brother of Pei Qi is not taboo to be praised by the people as the Emperor of Sweet Potato Empress.

Just because he is a brother, no matter how much he can't turn the sky around.

But being able to divert the people's attention from the fact that the sweet potatoes were produced in foreign countries and the drought in the Northwest was already Pei Qi's greatest contribution.

The wider the rumor about Pei Qi spread, the sooner the people would know about the sweet potato, and the easier it would be for them to calm down.

They knew that God sent a sweet potato lady down to save them, and they had hope in life. In order to wait for the sweet potato lady, they will stop thinking about making trouble and live a good life.

The Sweet Potato Empress was inspired by the emperor's diligence in political affairs and caring for the people, which will also have a good influence on the emperor's prestige.

Therefore, the emperor did not stop the spread of rumors, but also contributed to the flames.

What the emperor didn't expect was that there were so many troublemakers in the capital.When Pei Qi got married, she even chased Pei Qi's sedan chair and called "Sweet Potato Empress", chasing the wedding party to a panic.

As for the servant's mansion, Pei's servant was almost ruined by rumors because of his beloved son's marriage.Let his grandson instruct a man who fell for Yexiang to intentionally bump into the sour scholar who wrote the story of the Sweet Potato Empress, and then the man falsely accused the scholar of hitting him, and asked the scholar to compensate them for Yexiang.Suan Xiucai wants to pay money to settle the matter, but the brawny man admits to death as long as Yexiang doesn't need money.

The final result was that the sour scholar sued the officials and was taken by the brawny man from door to door in the area where he lived to collect Yexiang for a day, and then hid at home and took a shower for several days, without the face to go out to meet people.

So before Zhao Shutong had time to vent his anger on Pei Qi, the father-in-law had already dealt with that sour scholar.

The emperor naturally knew about this through the ubiquitous fish scale guards. He felt that Pei Shilang's move was really disgusting, so he advised Pei Shilang not to be too narrow-minded, and stop doing such things that pollute his soul. .

After the emperor said so, Pei Shilang agreed for the time being.

Qiqi is already the Sweet Potato Lady in the mouths of the common people, no matter how much they explain it, it is useless, ignoring the opinions of the outside world is their best response.

"Your Majesty, my carefree brother-in-law has no property in his own hands, and he feels ashamed of being raised by my family, so he tossed about the method of rinsing and dyeing wool, and wants to open a shop." Pei Shilang said with a sad face.

"Opening a shop, he won't participate in next year's Enke?" the emperor asked, he was still very optimistic about Zhao Shutong's talent in farming and finding good seeds.If a person does not take part in the imperial examination, it will be a big loss.

"If he dares not to take the exam, the old minister will let him take the exam even if he drives him away with a stick. The old minister is worried that he has a lot of thoughts, and he is not sure whether he can pass the imperial examination, so he starts to ask people to collect wool to make woolen sweaters. The cloak is ready, and it is said that it will be sold to people as warm clothes before winter."

keep out the cold.

"Do you know how warm woolen clothes are?" asked the emperor.

"It depends on how much wool is used, but a medium-thick woolen sweater is no worse than silk in terms of warmth." Pei Shilang said.

The emperor knew it well, it was several times cheaper than silk, but it was not bad at keeping warm. There must be many buyers by then, and it would be a good deal to make money.

The emperor is very jealous of Pei Shilang at this moment, why is such a brother-in-law who can make money not belong to his family.But the emperor thought that he was only 27 this year, one year older than Zhao Shutong, and no princess could marry him, so he withdrew his wishful thinking.

Such a person should be matched with a sweet potato lady.

"Ai Qing, in order to appease the people in the northwest, the national treasury has been emptied, and I have also filled a lot of money in my private treasury, which is already beyond my means. The empress is going to give birth to a little prince this year. Although this child is a direct descendant, I have not met him. In good times, I can't even give him a good life, I'm not a good father."

Pei Shilang listened numbly to the emperor's misery in front of him.

Why do you want to be a good father and save money for your children? If you really want to be a good father, you can forget that there is another baby in Concubine Rou's belly who is about to give birth. You just want money.

Thinking that the emperor had indeed spilled a lot of money from his private treasury for the affairs of the Northwest, and he was not yet one of the poorest emperors in the dynasty, Pei Shilang knew that the emperor also wanted to get involved.

But the emperor spent a lot of money for the northwest, Pei Shilang felt that he should be considerate of the emperor.

When Pei Shilang walked out of the imperial study room, he was speechless, but the emperor turned around and proudly went to the empress to show off.

"Pei Shen is an old man who has learned how to exploit after a long time, and today he knows how to be filial to me and give me money."

The queen smiled softly, waiting for the emperor to continue.

After the emperor finished speaking, the queen understood that Pei Shilang didn't want to give the emperor money at all, at least not now, at most he just reported it to ask for help, but the emperor deliberately misunderstood his meaning and wanted to intervene in it , and it is still the kind that directly asks the courtiers for a share without paying money.

Thinking that the emperor was so poor, the queen couldn't help feeling sorry for the man in front of her.

After Pei Shilang returned to the mansion, he called Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi to the mansion and told them what happened.

"The emperor also wants to get a share in our business." Pei Qi said in surprise, he thought the wool business proposed by the master was a small business, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so optimistic about them.With the protection of the emperor, they will definitely be able to expand their business and make a lot of money.

Master, you are really capable.

"En." Pei Shilang ignored the matter of not paying the capital, he really didn't want to blackmail the ancestors of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Zhao Shutong was not dazzled by this happy event, but asked, "Father-in-law, will this business be ours in the end?"

"You've collected money for a few years, so stop it." Pei Shilang stared at Zhao Shutong and said.

No need to calculate carefully, Pei Shilang also knows how profitable this wool business is in the long run. If you don't want the money in your hand to be remembered by others in the future, it's better to withdraw your hand in time.

Zhao Shutong said, "Master Minister, I have another idea."

Seeing that Zhao Shutong stopped calling his father-in-law and his lord, Pei Shilang felt that what he might have to say was very important, so he asked Pei Qi to go out first.It was almost dark when Weng and son-in-law finished talking, and they stayed for a meal in Pei's mansion before returning to Zhao's mansion under the escort of Pei's servants.

"Master, mother asked me to find the master who made the spinning machines and looms for us, and Xiu Niang who weaved the woolen gowns tomorrow. Mother will place an order for them." Pei Qi returned home and said to Zhao Shutong .

"These two are from our Shitai Village. I will ask Zhao Gui to invite them tomorrow," Zhao Shutong said.

"Okay, I have to go back home tomorrow. Mom said we can't both contribute, and you will have to test Enke next year. Our family can only rely on me now." Pei Qi said.

This arrangement is in line with Zhao Shutong's wishes, and I thank my mother-in-law for being so considerate.

"I have Lao Fulang. It is really the greatest blessing in my life to meet Lao Fulang. Let Wei Fu love you well."

what--

Before Pei Qi could finish speaking, someone hugged her around the waist.

The curtain stretches, and the interior is beautiful.

It's too hot today, and I'm not in the mood to type.
