There was a dullness between Mr. Ulsan and Wei Shen, and the two were silent for a while.There was a sound of light footsteps in the courtyard, and a waiter reported loudly in the courtyard that Nanbu Governor Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui asked to see Lord Ulsan.

"I invite the two governors." Young Master Guang straightened up and sat upright.

The wheat in the fields of Nanbu Village has been harvested, and the wheat fields have been reclaimed with iron plows. In a few days, water trucks will be used to drive water into the fields. After the wheat fields become paddy fields, Nanbu Village will be planted like a valley. Seedlings, no longer beans and millet, but rice.

The rice sent over weighed a thousand catties, and they couldn’t work outside on rainy days, so Zheng Yuming asked the slaves to pick up the rice in the mud hut, picking out the shriveled grains and sundries, and one bag of rice also picked out glutinous rice, which was slightly different in shape. The difference is that the caryopsis of glutinous rice is smooth, full-bodied, and slightly round, while the grain of japonica rice is broad, short, thick, oval or oval, and can only be distinguished by careful identification, but Huo Sihua discovered these subtle differences. When the girl was holding two slightly different kinds of rice and reacted to Zheng Yuming, Zheng Yuming was so happy that he picked up Huo Sihua and threw it into the air before catching it.Glutinous rice was a very good adhesive in ancient times.

After the rice was screened, Zheng Yuming instructed the slaves to soak the rice with biogas slurry.This method of soaking seeds was created by people in the comprehensive utilization of biogas. Compared with soaking in clear water, the seeds soaked in biogas slurry are more fertile, and the seedlings are more resistant to cold, disease, and stress.

More than 500 kilograms of rice were screened out to make seeds, and more than 500 kilograms of rice seeds can be planted in more than 300 mu of rice fields.More than 400 mu of paddy fields have been reclaimed in the valley, and all the more will be planted in Nanbu. Nanbu has about [-] mu of grain fields, and now there are more than [-] mu of paddy fields that are qualified to grow rice.

After the rice seeds were sown in the valley and the seedling fields in Nanbu, the seedlings could be planted in the middle of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. Zheng Yuming had a little leisure before planting the seedlings. At that time, Chu Chaohui was in the valley to drum out the paper.

Although he knew how to make paper, but in the absence of modern technology, the paper produced was not white paper, but yellowish and a bit rough. Zheng Yuming took the finished product from Chu Chaohui's hands and said with a smile that there was no shortage of toilet paper.This paper is not qualified as toilet paper in the 21st century.

The appearance of the first paper was not very beautiful, but it was a great achievement in this time and space. In the previous time and space, the Han people invented it in the Western Han Dynasty, and European countries did not learn how to make it until after the twelfth century.After the paper was made, the illiterate slaves and craftsmen in the valley did not know its meaning, but Fan Jin, who could only read a hundred characters, exclaimed in amazement that it was too expensive to use brocade silk to write in this time and space, and the bamboo pieces were too heavy, and the appearance of paper just solved the problem. These two problems can better spread culture.Fan Jin now not only knows a hundred characters, he also joins the study of the three children at night, and is the best student.Fan Jin, who is somewhat literate, was the first slave in the valley to realize the value of paper.

Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui's visit to Lord Ulsan this time is to present papers to Lord Ulsan, and all their foundations must be entrusted to Lord Ulsan to protect them, so this flattery cannot be ignored.

"What is this?" Mr. Ulsan was surprised when he touched the yellow paper on the table. This thing felt like cloth, and it was much thinner than cloth.

"Huh." Wei Shen was holding a piece of yellow paper in his hand. He thought it was a kind of cloth, but he didn't want to use a little force, but the cloth-like thing actually tore apart.

"My lord! This is paper, it can be used for writing." Zheng Yuming stepped forward to explain.

"Paper? Writing?" Young Master Guang's eyes lit up: "Waiter, bring a pen and ink."

Young Master Guang looked very anxious, and Wei Shen also looked concerned.

"The ink will dry after a while." Chu Chaohui stopped Wei Shen from touching the words after Young Master Guang finished writing.

"Good thing! With this paper, there is no need for brocade and bamboo slips." Young Master Guang took the written paper and looked at it carefully. Writing on paper feels the same as writing on brocade silk.

"Is this paper difficult to make?" Wei Shen asked Chu Chaohui about the cost of paper. If paper is as valuable as brocade silk, no matter how good it is, it is meaningless.

"It's not difficult to make. It only needs to be rotted with tree fiber, or boiled and smashed to make it."

"The hometown of the two governors is really yearning! It seems to be omnipotent." Young Master Guang put down the paper and sighed.Who would have thought that something like this could be made from decaying trees?

"What is Bermuda like? Is the monarch of your country very wise?" Wei Shen asked, stroking his beard. He had developed a strong interest in this overseas country.

“Nowadays, the monarch in my hometown doesn’t care much.” Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui did not say that the country in the 21st century is dominated by democratic regimes, but used the British constitutional monarchy as the administrative form of the fictional Bermuda country.Promoting democracy in front of slave nobles is a prelude to courting death.

"Such a monarch is good, he can stand side by side with Yao and Shun." Young Master Guang heard that the royal family is only a representative of the country, but has no actual power, but is deeply loved by the people, and there is admiration in his eyes.

"Aren't there other vassal states in your hometown? Are all kings like this?" Wei Shen stroked his beard in thought.

"There are also kings who hold power alone." Like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, etc., the monarch controls all the power of the country.

"Zheng Qing, tell me about the wise monarch of Bermuda." Young Master Guang had already asked the waiter to host a banquet for Zheng Chu. He and Wei Shen sat at the head, while Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui sat on the sides.

There are many wise monarchs in the history of the Chinese Dynasty. Zheng Yuming briefly talked about some things about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.Few dull things were said, and most of them said some interesting things about these kings.

"This Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty knows people well, has clear rewards and punishments, and is capable and decisive in handling things. He will definitely create a foundation for the ages." Zheng Yuming Zheng said that Tang Xuanzong used Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Jiuling as ministers to create a prosperous era, and Young Master Guang couldn't help but praise him.

"This..." Zheng Yuming stopped talking, Tang Xuanzong did not create a foundation for eternal life, but almost perished the country.

"Did this emperor become obsessed later?" Wei Shen heard the pause in Zheng Yuming's tone.

Since Wei Shen asked the question, and the question was on point, Zheng Yuming said that Tang Xuanzong doted on Concubine Yang in his later years, caring only about pleasure and ignoring the government, and in the end he abandoned the capital and fled, the imperial army mutinied, his concubine was hanged, and he was helpless.

"The traitorous concubine has wronged the country!"

Young Master Guang's tone was full of disgust towards Concubine Yang Gui.Hearing this, Chu Chaohui couldn't help but take a closer look at the young master.When Zheng Yuming described the love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, he did not say that Yang Guifei was Tang Xuanzong's daughter-in-law before entering the palace. After entering the palace, Yang Guifei followed the feudal court system, did not interfere with court politics, and did not intervene in power struggles Concubine Yang was favored by Emperor Xuanzong with her charming, docile and outstanding musical talent. The tragedy of Concubine Yang was that she had a bunch of extravagant, arrogant and conceited relatives, and a husband who was obsessed with pleasure and did not think about government affairs. The 38-year-old woman who was hanged to death in Maweipo was full of sympathy.But the young master hated this poor woman the most after listening to it, it's abnormal here!

"Tang Xuanzong is the lord of England after all, and in the end he put his foundation first, and handed over his favorite concubine to the soldiers." Chu Zhaohui said while staring at Young Master Guang.

"Yes! The ruler of the country should put the foundation first." Young Master Guang agreed with this sentence.

"On the one hand, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty put foundation as the most important thing, but on the other hand, he was forced by his subordinates to compromise." Zheng Yuming raised his eyes to look at Chu Chaohui, and he also found that Young Master Guang was a little abnormal.

"Coercion by force?" Wei Shen lowered his eyes and pondered. Now that the Hussar General has expressed his attitude, will the King of Wu insist on going his own way?

"Two lovers, now there is a king who loves a concubine, wants to abolish the elder concubine Li Ji to have a young son, and the military general in the court will protect the chief. Can the prince be safe in this situation?" Young Master Guang asked Zheng and Chu, and he felt that the two met. A well-informed person will have a unique perspective on the situation.

"Do generals have military power?" Upon hearing this, Chu Chaohui immediately assumed that this matter had something to do with Young Master Guang.

"No, the military talisman is in the hands of the king." Young Master Guang's heart sank.

"The prince is dangerous." Chu Chaohui asserted.

As soon as Chu Zhaohui said this, the faces of Young Master Guang and Wei Shen began to turn pale.

"Is the prince's mother clan strong?" Zheng Yuming broke the dullness.

"The crown prince's uncle is the lord of a country, but it does not border this kingdom. The lord and his younger sister are half-brothers, and they don't have a deep relationship." Gongzi Guang sighed and spoke slowly. He meant the crown prince's uncle Will not do anything to help.

"Help does not require affection." Chu Zhaohui smiled: "As long as the crown prince benefits the uncle enough, the king will help, not to mention that it is impolite to abolish the elders and establish the young, and the crown prince's uncle does not need an excuse. You can raise an army to seek justice for your nephew, as long as a king still has his ancestral foundation in his heart and does not want to go to war, he will not bring up the matter of abandoning the elders and establishing the younger."

"Let my uncle, the king, attack my own country?" Young Master Guang obviously resisted this method.

"It's not a real crusade, it's just a threat. Get the most benefit with the lightest price." Chu Chaohui doesn't really care how much the prince ceded to his mother-in-law. He has already guessed that this happened in Wu State. He doesn't want Dacheng to change, and the development of the valley takes time. As long as the situation in Wu can be maintained, it has nothing to do with Prince Wu sending half of Wu to do good.

"Haha! The two of you are indeed the elites of the Bermuda Kingdom." Wei Shen laughed and changed the topic. After a while, he excused himself and went to find his confidant. After explaining to his confidant carefully, he told him to rush to Wudu .

A month later, a thank you message from Prince Zhao was sent back from Wu Ducheng.Young Master Guang and Wei Shen also fully understood the whole story of this crisis.

After King Wu fell ill, Yiji took control of the palace. Prince Zhao was blocked by attendants when he visited King Wu. He finally found out that King Wu was ill. Zhao tried to cheer his father up, and the witch doctors in the palace agreed that only when the parents and sons cheered his father up, King Wu would recover from illness.The servant who came to summon him was the one most trusted by his father, and Prince Zhao was convinced at the moment, and hurried back to the palace to accept her.It was not until he was scolded by the King of Wu that Prince Zhao realized that he had fallen for Yi Ji's trick.

When Wei Shen's confidants went to meet Prince Zhao, it was the most dangerous time for Prince Zhao. He got Wei Shen's idea, and Prince Zhao immediately sent a fast horse to Zhao Guo for activities.

When the king of Wu was about to draft the edict to abolish the establishment, King Zhao's letter of credence was delivered to King Wu's court, and the state of Zhao was ready to send troops to attack Wu to seek justice for his nephew.

The king of Wu was shocked when he received the letter of credence. His brother-in-law never cared about the state affairs of the state of Wu. This time, he suddenly mobilized the army. The king of Wu couldn't believe it. He quickly sent people to the border to investigate. , Guarding the border, as long as the king of Wu starts to abolish Prince Zhao, he will immediately use the way of defending the country to enter the country of Wu.There is a Wei State between Zhao State and Wu State.

The King of Wu was silent for a moment when he heard the news. Regardless of Yiji's crying, he issued an edict to appease Prince Zhao, declaring that Prince Zhao would be the only legal heir of Wu, and that if anyone proposed to abolish him again, he would be exiled and punished.

Prince Zhao is safe, Lord Ulsan is safe, and Lord Zhao is also satisfied, because he only has to go hunting in the border hills, and then he will get a city from his nephew in the future.Yiji did not suffer either. The King of Wu was going to give Yiji's son Yong the coast of the East China Sea as a fief. The coast of the East China Sea produced salt, and half of Wu's treasury's money and silk income came from selling salt in the East China Sea.

In July, Zheng and Chu received a lot of rewards from Young Master Guang. There were people with money and horses. Chu Zhaohui looked at the reward book and let out a long breath. "Zheng Mingyu, from now on you will be in charge of all agricultural work. I have to prepare to train slaves and develop our own armed forces." Prince Wu's abolition of the crisis made Chu Chaohui wait until the material foundation was solid before developing self-protection capabilities.
