Because the person Emperor Yonghe asked was Wei Yan, so Qian Da took a look at the two of them and didn't talk too much after all.
Although Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat, he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Ms. Fu herself has nothing magical about her, and she has never met such a monk before. I don't believe it at all. But the many good things she brought out before were indeed told by other people."
Emperor Yonghe became interested: "Oh? Who is that person?"
Although Emperor Yonghe is already a bit old, he is still in his prime, and his physical condition is not bad. Compared with those illusory things of searching for immortals and asking for medicine, like Fu Li, he can really bring great benefits to Da Xia. On the contrary, Emperor Yonghe paid more attention to the adventure of improving the lives of ordinary people.
Wei Yan seemed to know that Emperor Yonghe would behave like this, and the expression on his face was much more serious than when he told about the adventures of the people in the Red Chamber before: "Speaking of which, Fu Niangzi can get those things, it is actually a coincidence. Your Majesty should listen I have said that Mrs. Fu was sold to Mrs. Lin as a concubine because of the poverty of her family, right? When she was in the Lin family, she was just an ordinary woman, no matter her status, knowledge or daily experience, she had nothing to worry about. What is commendable is mediocre, and people will not even be interested in it when they hear it."
Hearing what Wei Yan said, Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but let his serious expression melt away, showing a bit of a joke: "You are going to marry Mrs. Fu in a few days, and you still say that about her, if this word spreads In the ears of Mrs. Fu, you will feel uncomfortable when you go home, right? I heard that Mrs. Fu is different from ordinary women with three obediences and four virtues."
Wei Yan touched his nose in embarrassment, and changed the topic of Emperor Yonghe: "Your Majesty, please don't interrupt, please listen to my minister in detail."
Emperor Yonghe couldn't hold back and laughed out loud on the spot.
Qian Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, carefully moved his aching knee, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.He had always heard that Marquis Dingwei and the emperor were close friends and their relationship was extraordinary. He didn't believe it at first, but now that he saw this scene with his own eyes, he really believed in his heart that the two were not ordinary monarchs and ministers.
Thinking of Fu Li, he couldn't help feeling happy for her.
Regardless of Wei Yan's current status and power, just looking at his protection of Fu Li today, one can know that this is a person who can be entrusted to him for life.
Wei Yan didn't know what was going on in Qian Da's mind, so he glanced at Emperor Yonghe and then looked away, not paying attention to his laughter.
"The turning point in Madam Fu's life happened after she left the Lin Mansion." Wei Yan pretended to be deep in thought, and made up a reasonable story in his mind, "She left the Lin Mansion alone at that time, with only a few hundred taels of silver on her body. And some jewelry, and a pepper flower that was very valuable at that time, there is no way to return to the capital, so I can only try to stay in the local area.”
"Did the chili flower be taken away from the Lin family?" Emperor Yonghe was curious.
Wei Yan nodded with a sullen face: "Miss Fu said that Mrs. Lin sent her off before, and then left. The Lin family didn't make things difficult for her. Seeing that she liked it, they let her take it away with her."
Emperor Yonghe didn't think of other places at first, but when he saw Wei Yan's expression, he couldn't help laughing again: "You really like Mrs. Fu very much. It's been so long, and you're still jealous. You should be happy." , if Lin Ruhai hadn't let her go and never made things difficult for her later, you wouldn't have met her in the future."
Wei Yan cupped his hands and didn't answer.
Emperor Yonghe laughed and shook his head, without saying anything more, he raised his hand to signal Wei Yan to continue.
Wei Yan said obediently: "Ms. Fu was holding chili flowers and some gold and silver jewelry, and directly found Yalang from Bazhou Prefecture, that is, Qian Da, and bought a small courtyard."
Emperor Yonghe looked at Qian Da subconsciously, and Qian Dalian nodded: "Back to the emperor, when Mrs. Fu came to the grass people to rent a house, she did bring a chili flower. , but was reprimanded by Duke Zhou."
Emperor Yonghe nodded and looked at Wei Yan again.
Wei Yan lowered his eyelids, and his attitude towards Qian Da was confirmed in his heart, and he would not be restrained when he made up nonsense because he cared about Qian Da, a person who knew Fu Li deeply.
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Fu should also thank Mrs. Lin," Wei Yan pursed her lips, "Later, Mrs. Fu went out and rescued a strange man. After the strange man was rescued, he didn't say thank you, and even got up and left. Thanks to Mrs. Fu from The strange man saw the chili flower that the Lin family brought out, and he didn't know whether it was touching or other reasons. He suddenly came to chat, and then told Mrs. Fu the real use of the chili flower. At the same time, he told Fu Damn, there is news that wolf peaches are available."
Pepper has a stimulating and unique taste, and it has a wide range of applicability as a seasoning. It can be matched with most ingredients, and then make unique dishes. Therefore, in just a few years, the existence of chili has become popular throughout the summer.Especially in the past two years, after Boss You of Zuixiang Building finally tested the correct way to grow peppers, the price of peppers dropped rapidly, and then spread to every corner of Daxia at a speed that ordinary people could not understand.
Now let alone those who have the most contact with chili, the people at the bottom of society, even Emperor Yonghe, who has been trapped in the capital for a long time, have eaten many dishes with chili added.
And what about wolf peach?Because it is an ingredient itself, it can be matched with countless ingredients like pepper, but it can be used as a vegetable for cooking, and because of its sweet and sour characteristics, it can be eaten as a raw fruit. The existence of wolf peaches was also quickly accepted by everyone. Compared with peppers, wolf peaches were even more widely accepted.
After all, no matter how delicious chili is, some people just can't eat it.
With the rapid exaggeration of Zhou Gong's gourmet restaurant, the names of tomato and tomato also quickly replaced the name of wolf peach, which was accepted by the public.
Living in the capital city where wolf peaches are most common, it is impossible for Emperor Yonghe not to know these two news.
His eyes were slightly opened, and his expression was quite surprised: "You mean, the existence of chili peppers and wolf peaches was told by that weird man saved by Mrs. Fu?"
"Yes," Wei Yan nodded resolutely, "Ms. Fu saved her life after all, so it's understandable for her to want to repay Mrs. Fu. Although according to her original plan, it seems that she is going to leave."
As he said that, Wei Yan's face was stained with helplessness.
Emperor Yonghe nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Qian Da: "Have you ever seen that strange man?"
Qian Da thought about it and shook his head.
Just when Wei Yan thought he was going to say something unfavorable to Fu Li, he listened seriously and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the adventure is called an adventure is naturally because there are few people you meet. If the strange person Fu Madam met It’s so easy to be seen by others, isn’t the edible value of peppers and tomatoes already known to people, and how can they wait until now?”
"And from the very beginning, the relationship between Caomin and Mrs. Fu was the most common relationship between Yalang and his guests. Except for the relationship between Duke Zhou, Caomin and Mrs. Fu had almost no connection at all. Naturally, Caomin had nowhere to know the existence of that strange person. Know."
Emperor Yonghe nodded: "This is actually in line with what I know."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan and Qian Da broke out in cold sweat one after another, their hearts almost stopped beating, and they didn't dare to meet Emperor Yonghe's eyes at all.
Such a sudden sentence is really scary.
Qian Da secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that when he was introduced by Tang Ming to jump into the muddy water in the south of the Yangtze River, he had already been asked about his life experience by Tang Ming, and he had given it to his immediate superior.
As the behind-the-scenes boss of the organization he joined, it was impossible for Emperor Yonghe not to know about Qian Da's news.
Qian Da breathed out slightly, and after adjusting his mentality, he said again: "However, Mrs. Fu suddenly took out peppers, followed by tomatoes, which is still a bit eye-catching. The emperor also knows that Caomin is a man who regards money as his life." Well, so I tried to find a way to ask Mrs. Fu at that time. It's just that Mrs. Fu, Duke Zhou and others are very strict in their mouths. They never told me the accurate information about this outsider, which made Caomin very upset. Later, it was because of Caomin's younger brother Qian Er Second Sister-in-law Sun, who is on good terms with Mrs. Fu...cough cough...we got married, and Cao Min knew the accurate news."
Emperor Yonghe turned to Qian Dakan: "Is there any discrepancy between what you know and what Marquis Dingwei said?"
Qian Da nodded: "Caomin doesn't know the exact time when Mrs. Fu met that strange man, but as far as Caomin knows, there is indeed such a thing, and the news that peppers and tomatoes are edible is also told by that strange man. But... ..."
"But?" Emperor Yonghe squinted his eyes, "What's wrong with what Marquis Dingwei said?"
Qian Da was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed, because he was too nervous...or maybe too scared, so he even stuttered when he spoke: "But what the people know, the news is that that weird, weird person not only can use peppers and tomatoes The news of the food was told to Mrs. Fu, and she also left a lot of chili fruit, and the peanuts and potatoes that Mrs. Fu took out after a long time were also told by that strange man, and the first seeds were also from that The weirdo gave it to Mrs. Fu, the grass people don't know why Dingweihou..."
Emperor Yonghe had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Wei Yan, what can you say?"
Wei Yan was secretly relieved in his heart, but his face was calm and unhurried, he still said calmly: "Don't worry, your majesty, just listen to my humble minister speak slowly."
Next, Wei Yan narrated Fu Li's original "adventure" at a very fast and even speed
According to Wei Yan, after telling Fu Li that peppers and tomatoes were edible, the weirdo seemed to feel that he had repaid his favor, so he left her house while Fu Li was out without saying hello.
After Fu Li went home and searched for it for a while, he simply gave up and continued to search.
Because the weirdo was injured when he was rescued, it was hard not to wonder whether he had suffered a vendetta or whether there were other unresolved troubles on his body.It was kind of him to save her, and since that person didn't appreciate it, Fu Li had no reason not to stop finding him.
"Ms. Fu was originally a little woman who lived in peace and took her husband as the sky, but given her situation at the time, if she didn't want to support herself, I'm afraid the money in her hand would not be able to support her to live in Bazhou Prefecture. , and she is from the capital after all, and her parents and relatives are still in the capital, so she naturally wants to come back."
"It just so happened that she had two good things, peppers and tomatoes, so she thought about cultivating peppers and tomatoes first, and then selling peppers for a living." Wei Yan said, his eyes were suddenly stained with a smile, And all of this, Emperor Yonghe also saw it, "Who knew that when Fu Niangzi was tidying up the room for that strange man to recuperate, she found that the man had left a huge amount of tomatoes and peppers in the room, and more Lots of seeds."
"With so many fruits and seeds, Madam Fu is no longer satisfied with selling peppers. She decided to let everyone know that peppers and tomatoes are good, and then sell the seeds at a high price."
Qian Da added: "That's true. At the beginning, Mrs. Fu was still trapped in her identity as a woman, and she didn't want to show up, so she found enthusiasm for advertising chili peppers and brought her to Caomin to rent a house, and canceled it. Cao Min coveted Duke Zhou, who was coveting chili flowers in her hand, and persuaded Duke Zhou to cooperate with him in selling noodles, which was the prototype of Duke Zhou noodle restaurant later.
"It's just that Mrs. Fu never expected that the small noodles with chili peppers would be so popular, and she could earn nearly 20 taels of silver every day. Mrs. Fu is not stupid. Compared with the noodle restaurant, which has a monthly income For example, the short-term business of directly selling seeds is naturally not enough. If the seeds are sold out, or other people choose to grow peppers after getting the seeds, and stop buying seeds from her, wouldn't she just want to buy them again? Can you find another profitable job?"
"That's why Mrs. Fu decided not to sell the seeds, and started her own business with chili peppers."
"What I didn't expect was that the son of the owner of Zuixiang Louyou would know that the real important spice is pepper so quickly, and soon began to buy peppers at a high price in Bazhou Prefecture." Qian Da took a look at Emperor Yonghe. , lowered her head, "Ms. Fu can't, she can only find a way to buy land to grow peppers, and sell pepper seeds to attract contacts. Maybe because she wants to buy land from Caomin, she simply invites Zhou Gong and decides to sell peppers.
Leave it to the grassroots to come forward. "
Emperor Yonghe pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Yan: "Did Lady Fu say the same?"
Wei Yan shook his head: "Perhaps in order not to worry Wei Chen, every time she mentions the opening of the store, she mentions it briefly. Wei Chen doesn't know as much as Qian Da in detail."
Emperor Yonghe nodded and believed Wei Yan's words: "What about potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc.?"
Wei Yan and Qian Da looked at each other, and Qian Da shook his head: "Return to the emperor, because the temperament of Caomin is not very attractive to Mrs. Fu, and it usually takes a long time for Caomin to learn about these important things from his younger brother and sister-in-law. Probably. Even the beets..."
He raised his head and looked at Emperor Yonghe carefully, "It's also because Mrs. Fu felt that the situation in Jiangnan was complicated, and she was worried that my little Yalang would accidentally lose his life there, and then she told me for the sake of Duke Zhou. But Regarding the specific information about the beets, all the grass people know has been reported to the court, and they have never concealed anything, so..."
Emperor Yonghe understood Qian Da's implication, and simply turned his head to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan didn't mind Yong and Emperor's back and forth between the two of them to confirm each other's statement, and continued the topic just now without being humble or overbearing: "Ms. Fu may be born to do business, so she soon had the idea of opening a branch, but suddenly she was in At this time, it was found that she was pregnant, so I had to put this idea aside for the time being. But the reputation of Zhougong Noodle House spread almost all over the Bazhou Prefecture, and even the common people in several nearby prefectural cities had heard of it. Almost everyone in Bazhou knows about its existence and is proud of it."
"The business of the noodle shop and chili peppers is in full swing, so it's impossible for that weird man not to know about it. So he came to the door not long after."
Emperor Yonghe was puzzled: "Those gods and immortals still greedy for gold and silver?"
Wei Yan shook his head: "That person didn't come to the door for money. According to Mrs. Fu, he seemed to see Mrs. Fu letting the public know about the existence of peppers so quickly, so he wanted her to promote tomatoes."
"Ms. Fu went in without knowing it, but she also knew that she was able to rely on her today, so she quickly released tomatoes in the store. Although the effect was not very good, it also let many people know that tomatoes are edible."
"The weird man seemed to be very satisfied with the results achieved by Mrs. Fu, so he told Mrs. Fu about the potatoes and other news, and asked Mrs. Fu to find a way to promote these crops. It is best to let the whole summer know about the existence of these things. "
Emperor Yonghe frowned: "What is his purpose? What benefits can he get from it?"
"Ms. Fu was also curious. She didn't know why the man told her so many good things. She was also worried that the pie would fall from the sky, but there were poisons and medicines hidden in it, so she asked the strange man this question." Wei Yan looked at Emperor Yonghe had a bit of admiration for the strange man in his eyes, and Emperor Yonghe was curious, "The man said that these things have long existed in Daxia, but for various reasons they have not been promoted to the common people, let alone given to the common people. How many changes have been brought about in his life. Obviously, the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is so large, and they can satisfy their hunger, but there are still so many people starving to death in Daxia because of lack of food. Neglected crops are promoted."
"Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Because no matter whether the weird person showed up to tell others in person, or gave someone a dream, those people were afraid of being poisoned to death, so they didn't dare to try it lightly. Naturally, the news that these things were edible did not spread. Because many people They all felt that the man was pretending to be a ghost, and even beat him with a stick to drive him away. When the man was rescued by Mrs. Fu, he was actually a little disheartened, so he behaved like that."
After hearing this, Emperor Yonghe was furious: "Those people are too ignorant of good and evil. Sir, he kindly told them such important news. Not only are they not grateful, but they even do such evil things to him. It is really annoying. If Let me know the identity of the person who disrespected my husband back then, and I will definitely confiscate his family and exterminate his family!"
Qian Da was taken aback, thinking that Wei Yan made up nonsense and couldn't go back, so he wanted to make up for him.
Before he could open his mouth, Wei Yan gave him a light look.
Qian Da knew how to read people's eyes, and immediately understood, so he lowered his head and did not speak.
Wei Yan really had his own plan, and followed Emperor Yonghe's tone to change the name of "weird": "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Since that gentleman is not an ordinary person, naturally he will not be hurt by ordinary people. Just like Wouldn't the Zhen family be angry when that monk wanted to turn the only daughter of the Zhen family's Lin family into a monk? They were probably more annoyed than those who felt that they had been cheated by their husband, and wanted to beat her up. Yes, but didn’t the monk and the other leave the two families unscathed? The sir will be injured, it should be because he wants to hide his status as an extraordinary person, and he doesn’t want to disturb the order of the world.”
Emperor Yonghe was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, he agreed
Regardless of the status of the husband, since he came to the human world, he should naturally obey the rules of the human world.If not, wouldn't it be possible for him to do whatever he wants in this world with his earth-shaking ability, without any restriction?What is the significance of the existence of the government and the dynasty?
But it was also because of this that Emperor Yonghe had a lot of malice towards the monk who stirred up the wind and rain, but also wantonly revealed that he was different.
Wei Yan knew Emperor Yonghe's temperament very well, and had expected it: "Since the gentleman did not want to show his difference, the emperor should not be angry because of the disrespect he received at that time. Is it helpful? An immortal must have a big heart, so how can he care about what mortals say? The husband will feel disheartened, not because of the disrespect of those people, but because he has traveled for a long time and has never met a person who believes in him. People, those crops that are beneficial to the country and the people, have never been discovered of true value."
Emperor Yonghe nodded, showing more and more respect for that "Mister" in his heart, and as the control group of "Mr.", that monk can only receive the greatest malice from him.
After a pause, Emperor Yonghe looked at Wei Yan: "Then why does Mrs. Fu believe what you say?"
Although he was angry in his heart, Emperor Yonghe knew that it was quite normal for those people to react like that after hearing Mr.
Anyone who is suddenly told by a stranger that highly poisonous things can be eaten must suspect whether the person has malicious intentions.
Emperor Yonghe asked himself, if the husband gave himself a dream and said that the wolf peach was edible, would he believe it?The answer is also no.Even if Mr. didn't mention Wolf Peach, but just mentioned the news about potatoes and sweet potatoes...
If Mrs. Fu hadn't proved that what the husband said was true, it would be impossible for him to believe that the yield of potatoes would be several thousand catties per mu.Even if you have a dream, it will only be regarded as an absurd and boring dream, and you should simply forget it.
That's why he was even more curious about why Mrs. Fu believed so firmly in her husband's words.
Wei Yan chuckled: "Ms. Fu didn't believe it at first, but she saved Mr. before, thinking that although Mr. is a bit weird, he is not like the kind of person who waits for revenge, so she is dubious about Mr. Fu's words. It just so happens that Mrs. Fu She also has good cooking skills, and chili can be used medicinally, so she simply followed her husband's advice and used chili as a seasoning to make a dish, as expected, the taste is quite amazing."
"With chili as the base, Mrs. Fu naturally believed in Mr.'s words. But she only had one life, so she was naturally cautious, so Mrs. Fu simply bought a chicken, chopped up the tomato and fed it to the old hen Eat. After a day, the old hen is still alive and well, and even the last worry of Mrs. Fu has disappeared."
Emperor Yonghe nodded: "It is right to be cautious."
After a pause, he looked at Wei Yan again, "The potatoes and sweet potatoes..."
"Since the original purpose of Mr. Fu is to promote the crops to more people, then seeing that Mrs. Fu has promoted tomatoes and peppers to so many people so quickly, he naturally wants to let Mrs. Fu promote other crops as well. gone."
"And the final result also proved that Mr. did not misunderstand the person."
Since then, Emperor Yonghe finally relieved all doubts in his heart.
but……
"Since these things are good things that are useful to the country and the people, and my husband's purpose is to let these crops improve the lives of ordinary people, after getting these things, why does Madam Fu use them for personal gain?"
When Emperor Yonghe said this, he obviously had a smile on his face, but somehow made people feel the tension that the storm was about to come.
Qian Da panicked and couldn't help looking at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan, however, seemed to have known about Emperor Yonghe's reaction for a long time.
Emperor Yonghe was dedicated to serving the country and the people. For this reason, even when he was the prince, he did not hesitate to offend all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. He knew that the crops in Fu Li's hands were originally given by "immortals" to change the lives of ordinary people. It's not that she was lucky enough to find out that she even used this to obtain a huge family property, and it was only natural that she would be angry.
He was not in a hurry, he just said slowly: "Your Majesty, after Mrs. Fu handed over the potatoes to the imperial court, after two years of cultivation, the imperial court already had enough seeds for half of the people to plant, right? Before the harvest, would any common people be willing to set aside good soybeans, wheat and other crops and set aside a field to grow potatoes?"
Emperor Yonghe's expression froze, and then he smiled helplessly: "I am confused."
After Fu Li gave him the potatoes, he almost immediately handed them over to his father, and wrote about the benefits of the potatoes, which made his father attach great importance to the potatoes.Afterwards, the results of planting in Huangzhuang were not much different from what Mrs. Fu told him. He almost couldn't wait to spread potatoes to more people, let them know the benefits of potatoes, and never again. Hungry.
However, the final result was unsatisfactory.
Even if he led soldiers to force the common people to plant potatoes into the field, as soon as he left, those common people would immediately give the potatoes to them and continue to grow other crops.
If Fu Li hadn't put the potatoes on the table later, and it was reported that he had made a lot of money from the potatoes, and other restaurants and restaurants had simply spread the news of buying potatoes in large quantities, I am afraid that ordinary people would still not choose to grow potatoes.
The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Can't see the real benefits, want the common people to abandon their relatively stable life and grow potatoes?What are you thinking!
Thinking of this, Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but give Wei Yan a thumbs up: "You can tell Mrs. Fu that I am very grateful for what she did for Daxia. Now the time is too late. Wait until the day you get married. I have a big gift for her, so that she can live with you and do business with peace of mind."
This sentence is no worse than a promise.
With Emperor Yonghe's words, as long as Fu Li does not commit the crime of treason in Da Xia, no one else can touch her.
After all the hard work, he finally earned tangible benefits for Fu Li, and Wei Yan finally felt that his saliva was not in vain.
Emperor Yonghe turned his head, as if he just remembered Qian Da, and quickly told him to stand up: "You also have merit. Not only did you bring the only blood of Prince Yizhong back to the capital, but also exposed the crime of the four kings and eight lords who deceived the emperor. Great work, also has the credit for helping Mrs. Fu to promote chili. I will reward you a lot!"
After speaking, he looked at Qian Da, "Is there anything you want?"
As soon as Qian Dagang stood firm, he knelt down on the ground again: "Back to the emperor, Caomin was originally a Yalang, and his status was low, so he couldn't stand on the stage, but Caomin didn't want his children and grandchildren to live like the Caomin, and hoped that the emperor would give him a favor. It is agreed that the children and grandchildren of Caomin and Caomin's younger brother can participate in the imperial examination normally."
Emperor Yonghe raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"
With a bang, Qian Da slammed his head to Emperor Yonghe: "This is the lifelong wish of the grassroots!"
Emperor Yonghe nodded, and called the eunuch to write down the imperial decree on the spot, agreeing that Qian Da and his three generations of descendants could take the imperial examination with extra grace.After finishing writing, he seemed to feel that this little benefit was not enough, so he picked up the pen again and gave Qian Da bestowed an official
Even though he was only a rank seven official, Qian Da almost cried with joy and kowtowed gratefully.
Originally, he thought that the fate of the Qian family could only be truly changed when the next generation grew up. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yonghe saw what he really wanted, and changed the family for the Qian family directly from his generation.Now when he goes out, he can proudly say that
Sound, the Qian family is the family of officials.
Seeing Qian Da so excited, Emperor Yonghe was also very happy.He turned his head to look at Wei Yan: "Ms. Fu seems to have a son? Do you want me to give him an official as well?"
Wei Yan made a bad face on the spot: "Your Majesty, Brother Jin is only eight years old this year! Besides, he is talented, and sooner or later he will be able to pass the Jinshi examination with his own ability. You will delay his future if you give him an official."
Emperor Yonghe dismissed his thoughts in disappointment, but he was a little curious about Brother Jin: "That kid is called Brother Jin? Is he really as smart as you say?"
When mentioning Brother Jin, Wei Yan's expression became much richer: "His parents are both smart people, so how can he give birth to a fool?"
Emperor Yonghe was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Brother Jin's biological father, Lin Ruhai, had a criminal record, so it goes without saying.
Thinking of Lin Ruhai's serious and dignified manner when facing him, he found a little bit of fun in it: "Lin Ruhai should already know that Brother Jin is his son, right? He doesn't want to bring Brother Jin back to the Lin family?"
Wei Yan nodded: "I heard that Mrs. Lin returned to Beijing this time for Brother Jin."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Emperor Yonghe, "If it wasn't for His Majesty who suddenly sent Lin Ruhai to Huaiyang to be a patrolling censor, it would not only be Mrs. Lin, but Lin Ruhai herself who would be looking for Mrs. Fu."
Emperor Yonghe laughed loudly: "It seems that I have done some good things to Mrs. Fu unintentionally?"
Wei Yan laughed, and shook his head immediately: "Ms. Fu once told the minister that as long as the Lin family doesn't take Jin Ge'er away from her, she doesn't mind the Lin family's contact with Jin Ge'er, nor does she mind that Jin Ge'er recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan. .”
Emperor Yonghe was very surprised: "I thought she raised Brother Jin carefully, and would never agree with the Lin family to get in touch with Brother Jin." After speaking, he smiled, "It seems that Mrs. Fu is indeed a bit strange, you It's no surprise that you like her."
Wei Yan lowered his head in embarrassment, his ears turned red.
It was rare for Emperor Yonghe to see such a reaction from his best friend, so he couldn't help laughing.After a while, he finally said: "Since Mrs. Fu has such an attitude, then I will ask the queen to tell Mrs. Lin that it is up to the child to be willing to recognize the ancestor and return to the clan."
Wei Yan nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yonghe waved his hands indifferently: "What's the matter?"
As long as it does not involve major national affairs, he is always easy to talk.
After a while, Wei Yan and Qian Da appeared at the gate of the palace together.
Wei Yan smiled and looked at Qian Da: "You have just arrived in the capital, and it is inconvenient for you to travel. You must have never met Fu Li, right? It just happened to be on the way, so I will take you there."
Qian Da blinked, and couldn't help complaining in his heart
It was fake to send him to see Mrs. Fu, but it was true that he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Mrs. Fu?They are going to get married soon, but it's only a few days, yet Ding Weihou can't help it, it's really surprising.
But sitting in a carriage is better than walking, so he didn't expose Wei Yan, but nodded in agreement with his proposal.
It's a pity that Aunt Tian was by Fu Li's side, and she guarded against death. Wei Yan worked so hard to come here, but he couldn't meet Fu Li, so he had to return home.
Speaking of which, Qian Da, Fu Li and the others have not met for several years: at first Qian Da could go back to Bazhou Mansion to rest for a period of time in his free time, but after the battle for the heir apparent became more intense, the Jiangnan side The situation was almost on the verge of breaking out. In order to get enough meritorious service, Qian Da did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He would not leave Jiangnan unless there was a major incident.
Simply God pays off, and after a few years of hard work, he really earned the merits of leaving his country.
It's just that he has always been greedy, and after he quit his nationality, he wanted to let his son and grandson change his family through the imperial examination. That's why he rushed in when he found out that the Song family was raising private soldiers. He didn't expect to be pleasantly surprised.
When several people meet, it is inevitable to reminisce about the old days.
It was just because of the passing away of Zhou Gong and Zhou Po, and the absence of Qian Er's grandson Cuilan, they always felt a little lonely, and they started drinking while talking.
"It's been so many years, I didn't expect things to be different now." Qian Da chuckled, but there was a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.
Fu Li smiled, thinking of Duke Zhou, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Yes, things are different."
Qian Da fell silent, and then suddenly said after a long time: "Miss Fu, do you really like Master Wei? There are no other factors?"
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and met Qian Da's complicated eyes, and his heart moved: "Of course it's because I really like it. You forgot, I once said that if I can't marry the person I really like, I would rather not marry. What's so good about it? It's not as free as when you were single, but you're also under the control of your elders, and if you're not careful, you'll even implicate Brother Jin."
Qian Da nodded: "That's good."
After a while, he said again: "Some things happened in the palace today, because of Miaoyu's master who is good at divination, the emperor seems to have doubts about you giving out some good things one after another. But at that time, Lord Wei was there, He told the emperor how you obtained peppers and other crops, and the emperor praised Mr. Weird who gave you peppers and other things."
After a pause, he said, "Master Wei is a person worth entrusting for life. You will live happily ever after you marry him."
Fu Li's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "My vision has always been good, and the person I like is naturally not too bad."
"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so shameless!"
"I can't compare to you!"
As the two talked, they bickered again.
Soon, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, as if someone was passing by on the street outside the courtyard.
Fu Li and Qian Da looked at each other, and continued to say these words, but they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there no one else?"
Taking advantage of the gap between Qian Da's speech, Fu Li asked silently.
Qian Da nodded: "It's already gone."
Emperor Yonghe had always been suspicious, even if he believed Wei Yan, he might not necessarily believe that the information Fu Li told Wei Yan was all true, so it was only normal for him to send someone over to investigate.
Qian Da himself is a member of that organization. After the previous missions, he also has some understanding of Emperor Yonghe's temperament. The words he said to Fu Li were naturally carefully prepared to ensure that Emperor Yonghe would not be suspicious.
Just like when he met Wei Yan before, he deliberately pointed out some doubts about Wei Yan, and he also reacted out of his understanding of Emperor Yonghe.
And just as he expected, with his "doubt", Emperor Yonghe really believed in Wei Yan's words even more.
Only then did Qian Da tell Fu Li everything that happened in the palace, and the gloom on his face disappeared instantly, and then he put on a foolish smile: "Ms. It's really admirable that Ding Weihou is so determined. Tell me, why can't I meet a woman who can seduce me so hard that I want to live with her?"
Fu Li squinted at him: "There are many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, but don't tell me that you have never met a woman who makes your heart flutter."
"I met you before, but girls from that place..." Qian Da's eyes flickered for a moment, as if thinking of someone, and then he laughed, "It doesn't seem like she wants to have a good time with someone with a low status like me."
Although Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat, he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Ms. Fu herself has nothing magical about her, and she has never met such a monk before. I don't believe it at all. But the many good things she brought out before were indeed told by other people."
Emperor Yonghe became interested: "Oh? Who is that person?"
Although Emperor Yonghe is already a bit old, he is still in his prime, and his physical condition is not bad. Compared with those illusory things of searching for immortals and asking for medicine, like Fu Li, he can really bring great benefits to Da Xia. On the contrary, Emperor Yonghe paid more attention to the adventure of improving the lives of ordinary people.
Wei Yan seemed to know that Emperor Yonghe would behave like this, and the expression on his face was much more serious than when he told about the adventures of the people in the Red Chamber before: "Speaking of which, Fu Niangzi can get those things, it is actually a coincidence. Your Majesty should listen I have said that Mrs. Fu was sold to Mrs. Lin as a concubine because of the poverty of her family, right? When she was in the Lin family, she was just an ordinary woman, no matter her status, knowledge or daily experience, she had nothing to worry about. What is commendable is mediocre, and people will not even be interested in it when they hear it."
Hearing what Wei Yan said, Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but let his serious expression melt away, showing a bit of a joke: "You are going to marry Mrs. Fu in a few days, and you still say that about her, if this word spreads In the ears of Mrs. Fu, you will feel uncomfortable when you go home, right? I heard that Mrs. Fu is different from ordinary women with three obediences and four virtues."
Wei Yan touched his nose in embarrassment, and changed the topic of Emperor Yonghe: "Your Majesty, please don't interrupt, please listen to my minister in detail."
Emperor Yonghe couldn't hold back and laughed out loud on the spot.
Qian Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, carefully moved his aching knee, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.He had always heard that Marquis Dingwei and the emperor were close friends and their relationship was extraordinary. He didn't believe it at first, but now that he saw this scene with his own eyes, he really believed in his heart that the two were not ordinary monarchs and ministers.
Thinking of Fu Li, he couldn't help feeling happy for her.
Regardless of Wei Yan's current status and power, just looking at his protection of Fu Li today, one can know that this is a person who can be entrusted to him for life.
Wei Yan didn't know what was going on in Qian Da's mind, so he glanced at Emperor Yonghe and then looked away, not paying attention to his laughter.
"The turning point in Madam Fu's life happened after she left the Lin Mansion." Wei Yan pretended to be deep in thought, and made up a reasonable story in his mind, "She left the Lin Mansion alone at that time, with only a few hundred taels of silver on her body. And some jewelry, and a pepper flower that was very valuable at that time, there is no way to return to the capital, so I can only try to stay in the local area.”
"Did the chili flower be taken away from the Lin family?" Emperor Yonghe was curious.
Wei Yan nodded with a sullen face: "Miss Fu said that Mrs. Lin sent her off before, and then left. The Lin family didn't make things difficult for her. Seeing that she liked it, they let her take it away with her."
Emperor Yonghe didn't think of other places at first, but when he saw Wei Yan's expression, he couldn't help laughing again: "You really like Mrs. Fu very much. It's been so long, and you're still jealous. You should be happy." , if Lin Ruhai hadn't let her go and never made things difficult for her later, you wouldn't have met her in the future."
Wei Yan cupped his hands and didn't answer.
Emperor Yonghe laughed and shook his head, without saying anything more, he raised his hand to signal Wei Yan to continue.
Wei Yan said obediently: "Ms. Fu was holding chili flowers and some gold and silver jewelry, and directly found Yalang from Bazhou Prefecture, that is, Qian Da, and bought a small courtyard."
Emperor Yonghe looked at Qian Da subconsciously, and Qian Dalian nodded: "Back to the emperor, when Mrs. Fu came to the grass people to rent a house, she did bring a chili flower. , but was reprimanded by Duke Zhou."
Emperor Yonghe nodded and looked at Wei Yan again.
Wei Yan lowered his eyelids, and his attitude towards Qian Da was confirmed in his heart, and he would not be restrained when he made up nonsense because he cared about Qian Da, a person who knew Fu Li deeply.
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Fu should also thank Mrs. Lin," Wei Yan pursed her lips, "Later, Mrs. Fu went out and rescued a strange man. After the strange man was rescued, he didn't say thank you, and even got up and left. Thanks to Mrs. Fu from The strange man saw the chili flower that the Lin family brought out, and he didn't know whether it was touching or other reasons. He suddenly came to chat, and then told Mrs. Fu the real use of the chili flower. At the same time, he told Fu Damn, there is news that wolf peaches are available."
Pepper has a stimulating and unique taste, and it has a wide range of applicability as a seasoning. It can be matched with most ingredients, and then make unique dishes. Therefore, in just a few years, the existence of chili has become popular throughout the summer.Especially in the past two years, after Boss You of Zuixiang Building finally tested the correct way to grow peppers, the price of peppers dropped rapidly, and then spread to every corner of Daxia at a speed that ordinary people could not understand.
Now let alone those who have the most contact with chili, the people at the bottom of society, even Emperor Yonghe, who has been trapped in the capital for a long time, have eaten many dishes with chili added.
And what about wolf peach?Because it is an ingredient itself, it can be matched with countless ingredients like pepper, but it can be used as a vegetable for cooking, and because of its sweet and sour characteristics, it can be eaten as a raw fruit. The existence of wolf peaches was also quickly accepted by everyone. Compared with peppers, wolf peaches were even more widely accepted.
After all, no matter how delicious chili is, some people just can't eat it.
With the rapid exaggeration of Zhou Gong's gourmet restaurant, the names of tomato and tomato also quickly replaced the name of wolf peach, which was accepted by the public.
Living in the capital city where wolf peaches are most common, it is impossible for Emperor Yonghe not to know these two news.
His eyes were slightly opened, and his expression was quite surprised: "You mean, the existence of chili peppers and wolf peaches was told by that weird man saved by Mrs. Fu?"
"Yes," Wei Yan nodded resolutely, "Ms. Fu saved her life after all, so it's understandable for her to want to repay Mrs. Fu. Although according to her original plan, it seems that she is going to leave."
As he said that, Wei Yan's face was stained with helplessness.
Emperor Yonghe nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Qian Da: "Have you ever seen that strange man?"
Qian Da thought about it and shook his head.
Just when Wei Yan thought he was going to say something unfavorable to Fu Li, he listened seriously and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the adventure is called an adventure is naturally because there are few people you meet. If the strange person Fu Madam met It’s so easy to be seen by others, isn’t the edible value of peppers and tomatoes already known to people, and how can they wait until now?”
"And from the very beginning, the relationship between Caomin and Mrs. Fu was the most common relationship between Yalang and his guests. Except for the relationship between Duke Zhou, Caomin and Mrs. Fu had almost no connection at all. Naturally, Caomin had nowhere to know the existence of that strange person. Know."
Emperor Yonghe nodded: "This is actually in line with what I know."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan and Qian Da broke out in cold sweat one after another, their hearts almost stopped beating, and they didn't dare to meet Emperor Yonghe's eyes at all.
Such a sudden sentence is really scary.
Qian Da secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that when he was introduced by Tang Ming to jump into the muddy water in the south of the Yangtze River, he had already been asked about his life experience by Tang Ming, and he had given it to his immediate superior.
As the behind-the-scenes boss of the organization he joined, it was impossible for Emperor Yonghe not to know about Qian Da's news.
Qian Da breathed out slightly, and after adjusting his mentality, he said again: "However, Mrs. Fu suddenly took out peppers, followed by tomatoes, which is still a bit eye-catching. The emperor also knows that Caomin is a man who regards money as his life." Well, so I tried to find a way to ask Mrs. Fu at that time. It's just that Mrs. Fu, Duke Zhou and others are very strict in their mouths. They never told me the accurate information about this outsider, which made Caomin very upset. Later, it was because of Caomin's younger brother Qian Er Second Sister-in-law Sun, who is on good terms with Mrs. Fu...cough cough...we got married, and Cao Min knew the accurate news."
Emperor Yonghe turned to Qian Dakan: "Is there any discrepancy between what you know and what Marquis Dingwei said?"
Qian Da nodded: "Caomin doesn't know the exact time when Mrs. Fu met that strange man, but as far as Caomin knows, there is indeed such a thing, and the news that peppers and tomatoes are edible is also told by that strange man. But... ..."
"But?" Emperor Yonghe squinted his eyes, "What's wrong with what Marquis Dingwei said?"
Qian Da was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed, because he was too nervous...or maybe too scared, so he even stuttered when he spoke: "But what the people know, the news is that that weird, weird person not only can use peppers and tomatoes The news of the food was told to Mrs. Fu, and she also left a lot of chili fruit, and the peanuts and potatoes that Mrs. Fu took out after a long time were also told by that strange man, and the first seeds were also from that The weirdo gave it to Mrs. Fu, the grass people don't know why Dingweihou..."
Emperor Yonghe had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Wei Yan, what can you say?"
Wei Yan was secretly relieved in his heart, but his face was calm and unhurried, he still said calmly: "Don't worry, your majesty, just listen to my humble minister speak slowly."
Next, Wei Yan narrated Fu Li's original "adventure" at a very fast and even speed
According to Wei Yan, after telling Fu Li that peppers and tomatoes were edible, the weirdo seemed to feel that he had repaid his favor, so he left her house while Fu Li was out without saying hello.
After Fu Li went home and searched for it for a while, he simply gave up and continued to search.
Because the weirdo was injured when he was rescued, it was hard not to wonder whether he had suffered a vendetta or whether there were other unresolved troubles on his body.It was kind of him to save her, and since that person didn't appreciate it, Fu Li had no reason not to stop finding him.
"Ms. Fu was originally a little woman who lived in peace and took her husband as the sky, but given her situation at the time, if she didn't want to support herself, I'm afraid the money in her hand would not be able to support her to live in Bazhou Prefecture. , and she is from the capital after all, and her parents and relatives are still in the capital, so she naturally wants to come back."
"It just so happened that she had two good things, peppers and tomatoes, so she thought about cultivating peppers and tomatoes first, and then selling peppers for a living." Wei Yan said, his eyes were suddenly stained with a smile, And all of this, Emperor Yonghe also saw it, "Who knew that when Fu Niangzi was tidying up the room for that strange man to recuperate, she found that the man had left a huge amount of tomatoes and peppers in the room, and more Lots of seeds."
"With so many fruits and seeds, Madam Fu is no longer satisfied with selling peppers. She decided to let everyone know that peppers and tomatoes are good, and then sell the seeds at a high price."
Qian Da added: "That's true. At the beginning, Mrs. Fu was still trapped in her identity as a woman, and she didn't want to show up, so she found enthusiasm for advertising chili peppers and brought her to Caomin to rent a house, and canceled it. Cao Min coveted Duke Zhou, who was coveting chili flowers in her hand, and persuaded Duke Zhou to cooperate with him in selling noodles, which was the prototype of Duke Zhou noodle restaurant later.
"It's just that Mrs. Fu never expected that the small noodles with chili peppers would be so popular, and she could earn nearly 20 taels of silver every day. Mrs. Fu is not stupid. Compared with the noodle restaurant, which has a monthly income For example, the short-term business of directly selling seeds is naturally not enough. If the seeds are sold out, or other people choose to grow peppers after getting the seeds, and stop buying seeds from her, wouldn't she just want to buy them again? Can you find another profitable job?"
"That's why Mrs. Fu decided not to sell the seeds, and started her own business with chili peppers."
"What I didn't expect was that the son of the owner of Zuixiang Louyou would know that the real important spice is pepper so quickly, and soon began to buy peppers at a high price in Bazhou Prefecture." Qian Da took a look at Emperor Yonghe. , lowered her head, "Ms. Fu can't, she can only find a way to buy land to grow peppers, and sell pepper seeds to attract contacts. Maybe because she wants to buy land from Caomin, she simply invites Zhou Gong and decides to sell peppers.
Leave it to the grassroots to come forward. "
Emperor Yonghe pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Yan: "Did Lady Fu say the same?"
Wei Yan shook his head: "Perhaps in order not to worry Wei Chen, every time she mentions the opening of the store, she mentions it briefly. Wei Chen doesn't know as much as Qian Da in detail."
Emperor Yonghe nodded and believed Wei Yan's words: "What about potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc.?"
Wei Yan and Qian Da looked at each other, and Qian Da shook his head: "Return to the emperor, because the temperament of Caomin is not very attractive to Mrs. Fu, and it usually takes a long time for Caomin to learn about these important things from his younger brother and sister-in-law. Probably. Even the beets..."
He raised his head and looked at Emperor Yonghe carefully, "It's also because Mrs. Fu felt that the situation in Jiangnan was complicated, and she was worried that my little Yalang would accidentally lose his life there, and then she told me for the sake of Duke Zhou. But Regarding the specific information about the beets, all the grass people know has been reported to the court, and they have never concealed anything, so..."
Emperor Yonghe understood Qian Da's implication, and simply turned his head to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan didn't mind Yong and Emperor's back and forth between the two of them to confirm each other's statement, and continued the topic just now without being humble or overbearing: "Ms. Fu may be born to do business, so she soon had the idea of opening a branch, but suddenly she was in At this time, it was found that she was pregnant, so I had to put this idea aside for the time being. But the reputation of Zhougong Noodle House spread almost all over the Bazhou Prefecture, and even the common people in several nearby prefectural cities had heard of it. Almost everyone in Bazhou knows about its existence and is proud of it."
"The business of the noodle shop and chili peppers is in full swing, so it's impossible for that weird man not to know about it. So he came to the door not long after."
Emperor Yonghe was puzzled: "Those gods and immortals still greedy for gold and silver?"
Wei Yan shook his head: "That person didn't come to the door for money. According to Mrs. Fu, he seemed to see Mrs. Fu letting the public know about the existence of peppers so quickly, so he wanted her to promote tomatoes."
"Ms. Fu went in without knowing it, but she also knew that she was able to rely on her today, so she quickly released tomatoes in the store. Although the effect was not very good, it also let many people know that tomatoes are edible."
"The weird man seemed to be very satisfied with the results achieved by Mrs. Fu, so he told Mrs. Fu about the potatoes and other news, and asked Mrs. Fu to find a way to promote these crops. It is best to let the whole summer know about the existence of these things. "
Emperor Yonghe frowned: "What is his purpose? What benefits can he get from it?"
"Ms. Fu was also curious. She didn't know why the man told her so many good things. She was also worried that the pie would fall from the sky, but there were poisons and medicines hidden in it, so she asked the strange man this question." Wei Yan looked at Emperor Yonghe had a bit of admiration for the strange man in his eyes, and Emperor Yonghe was curious, "The man said that these things have long existed in Daxia, but for various reasons they have not been promoted to the common people, let alone given to the common people. How many changes have been brought about in his life. Obviously, the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is so large, and they can satisfy their hunger, but there are still so many people starving to death in Daxia because of lack of food. Neglected crops are promoted."
"Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Because no matter whether the weird person showed up to tell others in person, or gave someone a dream, those people were afraid of being poisoned to death, so they didn't dare to try it lightly. Naturally, the news that these things were edible did not spread. Because many people They all felt that the man was pretending to be a ghost, and even beat him with a stick to drive him away. When the man was rescued by Mrs. Fu, he was actually a little disheartened, so he behaved like that."
After hearing this, Emperor Yonghe was furious: "Those people are too ignorant of good and evil. Sir, he kindly told them such important news. Not only are they not grateful, but they even do such evil things to him. It is really annoying. If Let me know the identity of the person who disrespected my husband back then, and I will definitely confiscate his family and exterminate his family!"
Qian Da was taken aback, thinking that Wei Yan made up nonsense and couldn't go back, so he wanted to make up for him.
Before he could open his mouth, Wei Yan gave him a light look.
Qian Da knew how to read people's eyes, and immediately understood, so he lowered his head and did not speak.
Wei Yan really had his own plan, and followed Emperor Yonghe's tone to change the name of "weird": "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Since that gentleman is not an ordinary person, naturally he will not be hurt by ordinary people. Just like Wouldn't the Zhen family be angry when that monk wanted to turn the only daughter of the Zhen family's Lin family into a monk? They were probably more annoyed than those who felt that they had been cheated by their husband, and wanted to beat her up. Yes, but didn’t the monk and the other leave the two families unscathed? The sir will be injured, it should be because he wants to hide his status as an extraordinary person, and he doesn’t want to disturb the order of the world.”
Emperor Yonghe was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, he agreed
Regardless of the status of the husband, since he came to the human world, he should naturally obey the rules of the human world.If not, wouldn't it be possible for him to do whatever he wants in this world with his earth-shaking ability, without any restriction?What is the significance of the existence of the government and the dynasty?
But it was also because of this that Emperor Yonghe had a lot of malice towards the monk who stirred up the wind and rain, but also wantonly revealed that he was different.
Wei Yan knew Emperor Yonghe's temperament very well, and had expected it: "Since the gentleman did not want to show his difference, the emperor should not be angry because of the disrespect he received at that time. Is it helpful? An immortal must have a big heart, so how can he care about what mortals say? The husband will feel disheartened, not because of the disrespect of those people, but because he has traveled for a long time and has never met a person who believes in him. People, those crops that are beneficial to the country and the people, have never been discovered of true value."
Emperor Yonghe nodded, showing more and more respect for that "Mister" in his heart, and as the control group of "Mr.", that monk can only receive the greatest malice from him.
After a pause, Emperor Yonghe looked at Wei Yan: "Then why does Mrs. Fu believe what you say?"
Although he was angry in his heart, Emperor Yonghe knew that it was quite normal for those people to react like that after hearing Mr.
Anyone who is suddenly told by a stranger that highly poisonous things can be eaten must suspect whether the person has malicious intentions.
Emperor Yonghe asked himself, if the husband gave himself a dream and said that the wolf peach was edible, would he believe it?The answer is also no.Even if Mr. didn't mention Wolf Peach, but just mentioned the news about potatoes and sweet potatoes...
If Mrs. Fu hadn't proved that what the husband said was true, it would be impossible for him to believe that the yield of potatoes would be several thousand catties per mu.Even if you have a dream, it will only be regarded as an absurd and boring dream, and you should simply forget it.
That's why he was even more curious about why Mrs. Fu believed so firmly in her husband's words.
Wei Yan chuckled: "Ms. Fu didn't believe it at first, but she saved Mr. before, thinking that although Mr. is a bit weird, he is not like the kind of person who waits for revenge, so she is dubious about Mr. Fu's words. It just so happens that Mrs. Fu She also has good cooking skills, and chili can be used medicinally, so she simply followed her husband's advice and used chili as a seasoning to make a dish, as expected, the taste is quite amazing."
"With chili as the base, Mrs. Fu naturally believed in Mr.'s words. But she only had one life, so she was naturally cautious, so Mrs. Fu simply bought a chicken, chopped up the tomato and fed it to the old hen Eat. After a day, the old hen is still alive and well, and even the last worry of Mrs. Fu has disappeared."
Emperor Yonghe nodded: "It is right to be cautious."
After a pause, he looked at Wei Yan again, "The potatoes and sweet potatoes..."
"Since the original purpose of Mr. Fu is to promote the crops to more people, then seeing that Mrs. Fu has promoted tomatoes and peppers to so many people so quickly, he naturally wants to let Mrs. Fu promote other crops as well. gone."
"And the final result also proved that Mr. did not misunderstand the person."
Since then, Emperor Yonghe finally relieved all doubts in his heart.
but……
"Since these things are good things that are useful to the country and the people, and my husband's purpose is to let these crops improve the lives of ordinary people, after getting these things, why does Madam Fu use them for personal gain?"
When Emperor Yonghe said this, he obviously had a smile on his face, but somehow made people feel the tension that the storm was about to come.
Qian Da panicked and couldn't help looking at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan, however, seemed to have known about Emperor Yonghe's reaction for a long time.
Emperor Yonghe was dedicated to serving the country and the people. For this reason, even when he was the prince, he did not hesitate to offend all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. He knew that the crops in Fu Li's hands were originally given by "immortals" to change the lives of ordinary people. It's not that she was lucky enough to find out that she even used this to obtain a huge family property, and it was only natural that she would be angry.
He was not in a hurry, he just said slowly: "Your Majesty, after Mrs. Fu handed over the potatoes to the imperial court, after two years of cultivation, the imperial court already had enough seeds for half of the people to plant, right? Before the harvest, would any common people be willing to set aside good soybeans, wheat and other crops and set aside a field to grow potatoes?"
Emperor Yonghe's expression froze, and then he smiled helplessly: "I am confused."
After Fu Li gave him the potatoes, he almost immediately handed them over to his father, and wrote about the benefits of the potatoes, which made his father attach great importance to the potatoes.Afterwards, the results of planting in Huangzhuang were not much different from what Mrs. Fu told him. He almost couldn't wait to spread potatoes to more people, let them know the benefits of potatoes, and never again. Hungry.
However, the final result was unsatisfactory.
Even if he led soldiers to force the common people to plant potatoes into the field, as soon as he left, those common people would immediately give the potatoes to them and continue to grow other crops.
If Fu Li hadn't put the potatoes on the table later, and it was reported that he had made a lot of money from the potatoes, and other restaurants and restaurants had simply spread the news of buying potatoes in large quantities, I am afraid that ordinary people would still not choose to grow potatoes.
The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Can't see the real benefits, want the common people to abandon their relatively stable life and grow potatoes?What are you thinking!
Thinking of this, Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but give Wei Yan a thumbs up: "You can tell Mrs. Fu that I am very grateful for what she did for Daxia. Now the time is too late. Wait until the day you get married. I have a big gift for her, so that she can live with you and do business with peace of mind."
This sentence is no worse than a promise.
With Emperor Yonghe's words, as long as Fu Li does not commit the crime of treason in Da Xia, no one else can touch her.
After all the hard work, he finally earned tangible benefits for Fu Li, and Wei Yan finally felt that his saliva was not in vain.
Emperor Yonghe turned his head, as if he just remembered Qian Da, and quickly told him to stand up: "You also have merit. Not only did you bring the only blood of Prince Yizhong back to the capital, but also exposed the crime of the four kings and eight lords who deceived the emperor. Great work, also has the credit for helping Mrs. Fu to promote chili. I will reward you a lot!"
After speaking, he looked at Qian Da, "Is there anything you want?"
As soon as Qian Dagang stood firm, he knelt down on the ground again: "Back to the emperor, Caomin was originally a Yalang, and his status was low, so he couldn't stand on the stage, but Caomin didn't want his children and grandchildren to live like the Caomin, and hoped that the emperor would give him a favor. It is agreed that the children and grandchildren of Caomin and Caomin's younger brother can participate in the imperial examination normally."
Emperor Yonghe raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"
With a bang, Qian Da slammed his head to Emperor Yonghe: "This is the lifelong wish of the grassroots!"
Emperor Yonghe nodded, and called the eunuch to write down the imperial decree on the spot, agreeing that Qian Da and his three generations of descendants could take the imperial examination with extra grace.After finishing writing, he seemed to feel that this little benefit was not enough, so he picked up the pen again and gave Qian Da bestowed an official
Even though he was only a rank seven official, Qian Da almost cried with joy and kowtowed gratefully.
Originally, he thought that the fate of the Qian family could only be truly changed when the next generation grew up. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yonghe saw what he really wanted, and changed the family for the Qian family directly from his generation.Now when he goes out, he can proudly say that
Sound, the Qian family is the family of officials.
Seeing Qian Da so excited, Emperor Yonghe was also very happy.He turned his head to look at Wei Yan: "Ms. Fu seems to have a son? Do you want me to give him an official as well?"
Wei Yan made a bad face on the spot: "Your Majesty, Brother Jin is only eight years old this year! Besides, he is talented, and sooner or later he will be able to pass the Jinshi examination with his own ability. You will delay his future if you give him an official."
Emperor Yonghe dismissed his thoughts in disappointment, but he was a little curious about Brother Jin: "That kid is called Brother Jin? Is he really as smart as you say?"
When mentioning Brother Jin, Wei Yan's expression became much richer: "His parents are both smart people, so how can he give birth to a fool?"
Emperor Yonghe was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Brother Jin's biological father, Lin Ruhai, had a criminal record, so it goes without saying.
Thinking of Lin Ruhai's serious and dignified manner when facing him, he found a little bit of fun in it: "Lin Ruhai should already know that Brother Jin is his son, right? He doesn't want to bring Brother Jin back to the Lin family?"
Wei Yan nodded: "I heard that Mrs. Lin returned to Beijing this time for Brother Jin."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Emperor Yonghe, "If it wasn't for His Majesty who suddenly sent Lin Ruhai to Huaiyang to be a patrolling censor, it would not only be Mrs. Lin, but Lin Ruhai herself who would be looking for Mrs. Fu."
Emperor Yonghe laughed loudly: "It seems that I have done some good things to Mrs. Fu unintentionally?"
Wei Yan laughed, and shook his head immediately: "Ms. Fu once told the minister that as long as the Lin family doesn't take Jin Ge'er away from her, she doesn't mind the Lin family's contact with Jin Ge'er, nor does she mind that Jin Ge'er recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan. .”
Emperor Yonghe was very surprised: "I thought she raised Brother Jin carefully, and would never agree with the Lin family to get in touch with Brother Jin." After speaking, he smiled, "It seems that Mrs. Fu is indeed a bit strange, you It's no surprise that you like her."
Wei Yan lowered his head in embarrassment, his ears turned red.
It was rare for Emperor Yonghe to see such a reaction from his best friend, so he couldn't help laughing.After a while, he finally said: "Since Mrs. Fu has such an attitude, then I will ask the queen to tell Mrs. Lin that it is up to the child to be willing to recognize the ancestor and return to the clan."
Wei Yan nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yonghe waved his hands indifferently: "What's the matter?"
As long as it does not involve major national affairs, he is always easy to talk.
After a while, Wei Yan and Qian Da appeared at the gate of the palace together.
Wei Yan smiled and looked at Qian Da: "You have just arrived in the capital, and it is inconvenient for you to travel. You must have never met Fu Li, right? It just happened to be on the way, so I will take you there."
Qian Da blinked, and couldn't help complaining in his heart
It was fake to send him to see Mrs. Fu, but it was true that he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Mrs. Fu?They are going to get married soon, but it's only a few days, yet Ding Weihou can't help it, it's really surprising.
But sitting in a carriage is better than walking, so he didn't expose Wei Yan, but nodded in agreement with his proposal.
It's a pity that Aunt Tian was by Fu Li's side, and she guarded against death. Wei Yan worked so hard to come here, but he couldn't meet Fu Li, so he had to return home.
Speaking of which, Qian Da, Fu Li and the others have not met for several years: at first Qian Da could go back to Bazhou Mansion to rest for a period of time in his free time, but after the battle for the heir apparent became more intense, the Jiangnan side The situation was almost on the verge of breaking out. In order to get enough meritorious service, Qian Da did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He would not leave Jiangnan unless there was a major incident.
Simply God pays off, and after a few years of hard work, he really earned the merits of leaving his country.
It's just that he has always been greedy, and after he quit his nationality, he wanted to let his son and grandson change his family through the imperial examination. That's why he rushed in when he found out that the Song family was raising private soldiers. He didn't expect to be pleasantly surprised.
When several people meet, it is inevitable to reminisce about the old days.
It was just because of the passing away of Zhou Gong and Zhou Po, and the absence of Qian Er's grandson Cuilan, they always felt a little lonely, and they started drinking while talking.
"It's been so many years, I didn't expect things to be different now." Qian Da chuckled, but there was a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.
Fu Li smiled, thinking of Duke Zhou, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Yes, things are different."
Qian Da fell silent, and then suddenly said after a long time: "Miss Fu, do you really like Master Wei? There are no other factors?"
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and met Qian Da's complicated eyes, and his heart moved: "Of course it's because I really like it. You forgot, I once said that if I can't marry the person I really like, I would rather not marry. What's so good about it? It's not as free as when you were single, but you're also under the control of your elders, and if you're not careful, you'll even implicate Brother Jin."
Qian Da nodded: "That's good."
After a while, he said again: "Some things happened in the palace today, because of Miaoyu's master who is good at divination, the emperor seems to have doubts about you giving out some good things one after another. But at that time, Lord Wei was there, He told the emperor how you obtained peppers and other crops, and the emperor praised Mr. Weird who gave you peppers and other things."
After a pause, he said, "Master Wei is a person worth entrusting for life. You will live happily ever after you marry him."
Fu Li's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "My vision has always been good, and the person I like is naturally not too bad."
"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so shameless!"
"I can't compare to you!"
As the two talked, they bickered again.
Soon, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, as if someone was passing by on the street outside the courtyard.
Fu Li and Qian Da looked at each other, and continued to say these words, but they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there no one else?"
Taking advantage of the gap between Qian Da's speech, Fu Li asked silently.
Qian Da nodded: "It's already gone."
Emperor Yonghe had always been suspicious, even if he believed Wei Yan, he might not necessarily believe that the information Fu Li told Wei Yan was all true, so it was only normal for him to send someone over to investigate.
Qian Da himself is a member of that organization. After the previous missions, he also has some understanding of Emperor Yonghe's temperament. The words he said to Fu Li were naturally carefully prepared to ensure that Emperor Yonghe would not be suspicious.
Just like when he met Wei Yan before, he deliberately pointed out some doubts about Wei Yan, and he also reacted out of his understanding of Emperor Yonghe.
And just as he expected, with his "doubt", Emperor Yonghe really believed in Wei Yan's words even more.
Only then did Qian Da tell Fu Li everything that happened in the palace, and the gloom on his face disappeared instantly, and then he put on a foolish smile: "Ms. It's really admirable that Ding Weihou is so determined. Tell me, why can't I meet a woman who can seduce me so hard that I want to live with her?"
Fu Li squinted at him: "There are many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, but don't tell me that you have never met a woman who makes your heart flutter."
"I met you before, but girls from that place..." Qian Da's eyes flickered for a moment, as if thinking of someone, and then he laughed, "It doesn't seem like she wants to have a good time with someone with a low status like me."
