I engaged in modernization in ancient times

There are many kinds of plant dyeing, such as flower dyeing, tea dyeing, miscellaneous dyeing and so on.

What Mo Shaoheng wants to do is to dye flowers.

The steps are actually not difficult, and anyone with a little stronger hands-on ability can do it, but whether the dyeing looks good or not depends on the individual.

The first step is to soak the colorless brocade cloth in hot water.

The second cloth is to extract the pigment in the flower, soak the flower overnight, and then boil it. When boiling, put some vinegar, and the coloring rate of the pigment will be greatly increased.

Coincidentally, Mo Shaoheng's fruit vinegar made from pears is almost ready, so I can use it.

The third step is to put the soaked brocade into soy milk for starching, which makes it easier to color.

Soy milk needs soybean milling to make, and it happens that he also has a cart of soybeans.

The fourth step is to put the soaked brocade cloth in alum water, so that the pigment will not fall off after being colored.

Alum is a kind of alchemy material for alchemy, which needs to be purchased specially.

The fifth step is to cook the processed silk cloth in the extracted pigment liquid.

The sixth step is to take out of the pan, wash it, and avoid direct sunlight to dry it.

In this way, the process of plant dyeing cloth is completed.

After Mo Shaoheng sorted out the steps, he started to act.

During the period, when the boiled flowers were excellent, the medicine boy ran away with a look of disgust.

At first, Nan Yiyi thought he was making something delicious, so he wiped the drool that came out, and stood by.

There are three kinds of pigments cooked this time, one is the yellow of chrysanthemum, the other is the red of impatiens, and the other is the variegated color of boiled flowers.

In fact, all colors are composed of three primary colors. When they are mixed, new colors can appear.

People in the mansion knew the news about Mo Shaoheng dyeing cloth, and Mo Haitang brought the girls in the mansion to visit several times.

"Is this how cloth is dyed?"

Mo Shaoheng nodded, "The technique of plant dyeing is like this."

"It looks simple, but it is not easy to dye a good cloth, especially if it is hand-dyed like this, there is a slight difference, and the dyed color will be different."

Mo Shaoheng looked at the remaining pigment, and simply asked Mo Haitang to take it, "You can try to mix them together in different proportions, maybe you can mix them together to create the most beautiful color in the world."

"But every time you exchange, remember the ratio clearly, otherwise you won't be able to exchange it next time."

It is a color DIY.

Mo Shaoheng didn't know how to mix it to get the color he wanted, so he asked the girls to try it out.

A group of girls became interested, "The cloth sold in the cloth shop is only a few colors. If we can make different colors, maybe we can open a dyeing workshop."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, in theory, but in reality, it would be difficult to get a beautiful color without countless attempts.

A few days later, Mo Shaoheng's first batch of fabrics were also dyed.

Mo Haitang and the others who came after hearing the news looked at the few pieces of cloth hanging in the yard.

The most color is light yellow, followed by red, and then variegated.

"They are all colors that the cloth shop doesn't have."

The most common colors of clothes in Beiliang are plain colors, such as blue and cyan.

"This goose yellow dress must be beautiful." There was light in her eyes.

"The color is not dull at all, but also has a bright light."

This is the benefit of coloring after soaking in soy milk.

In fact, there is another benefit that everyone has not discovered yet.

Beiliang's clothes will basically fade when they are washed for the first time.

No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they will fade and become old after washing several times.

But Mo Shaoheng's fabrics, because they have been soaked in alum, at least they won't lose their color after washing with water.

"Red is also good, but it's a bit too gaudy. Isn't it too rumored to wear it out?"

Mo Shaoheng smiled, "There will always be a suitable person to wear it."

Everyone has a different temperament and suitable clothes are also different.

Mo Haitang covered her mouth and smiled, "I am Beiliang, I am afraid that only someone as arrogant and arrogant as Linjiang Xian can control this color."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

What's wrong with red?The red brocade robe shows evil charm.

In fact, variegated colors are more vivid, colorful, and made into clothes, which look like peacocks. Mo Shaoheng immediately thought of Zhao Yanqiu, and it must be suitable for him.

The fabric alone does not show the effect of ready-made clothing.

Just let the Fuzhong embroiderer try to make clothes.

A few days later, Liangjing.

In Liangjing now, there is already some cool breeze.

In a hurry, more people went to the cloth shop to buy cloth.

At this time, several carriages stopped in front of Liangjing's largest cloth shop.

It's okay, the aristocrats with a slightly larger population didn't pull truckloads of cloth into the mansion.

However, several women in light yellow dresses suddenly stepped out of the carriage.

In a plain world, like a beautiful butterfly flying in suddenly, the whole world has become full of vigor and vitality.

Light yellow, plain and elegant, not as deep as the uniform dark clothes around, when worn on a woman, it adds a bit of beauty, just like a black and white painting dyed with color.

In an instant, it seemed to become the focus of the crowd.

Mo Haitang led the people into the cloth shop, and they were here to do the shopping today.

"Shopkeeper, how much of your undyed Hang Jin is left?"

At this time, the people around realized that some of the girls who knew the Mo family hurried over to ask about the situation.

"Where did you buy this light yellow fabric? Why haven't we seen it before, it's like a flower." There was light in his eyes.

Mo Haitang and the girls looked at each other and smiled, "You can't buy it, it's dyed by our family."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they remembered that Mo Shaoheng seemed to have said that he dyed cloth by himself.

Could it be... Could this be the cloth Mo Shaoheng dyed?

The skirt made of this color is also very beautiful.

Mo Haitang and the girls were planning to go back after buying the fabrics, and the seasons will change soon, so they had to rush a bit to dye the fabrics and make clothes.

In the end, he was dragged into a chat.

"Whether this kind of fabric in your house is sold or not, give us some of it."

Mo Haitang also couldn't help it, "If we don't sell it, we don't have enough of ourselves. There are many girls in our house, so we can't favor one over another. Every girl has to make new clothes."

She didn't talk nonsense.

The raw material used in flower dyeing is flowers, and the quantity is not large, so it is not possible to make much cloth.

In addition to using soy milk soaking cloth, Mo Shaoheng planned to keep the soybeans as seeds, and it was impossible to use them in large quantities.

Therefore, Mo Shaoheng's idea of ​​opening a dyeing workshop cannot be completed in a short time.

Now it is in the courtyard of the mansion, and each house dyes the cloth by itself, which is only enough for the mansion.

But even if Mo Haitang said so, he still didn't give up, and kept pulling Mo Haitang to order the cloth evenly. This light yellow skirt is too beautiful.

At this time, Mo Shaoheng and Nan Yi also became the focus of everyone's attention.

Today is the Grand Court Meeting, Mo Shaoheng is wearing a bright red brocade robe, accompanied by the guqin in his arms, and the phoenix seal on his forehead, that's what he called an evil spirit.

It's the same as Mo Shaoheng's previous image of Qiongtai Immortal being completely subverted.

But it's still so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

It has to be said that good-looking people can indeed control many clothes that others cannot control.

At this time, Mo Shaoheng was like a scarlet demon moon on the golden palace, people couldn't take their eyes off, even the saints looked at it for a long time.

And Nan Yi, who was waiting outside the Golden Palace, was wearing a Taoist robe as blue as the ocean, and received frequent gazes.

Beiliang's clothes are also blue, but the deep blue is completely different from the bright ocean color. Nan Yi's Taoist robe is like blue water, and the waves are rough.

This color was created by Mo Haitang and a group of girls. At that time, Mo Shaoheng was amazed for a long time. Sometimes, unimaginable beauty can be produced unintentionally.

The biggest event in today's court meeting is that Yan Wang Zhao Di is going to take people to build the canal.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, no wonder Mrs. Yong'an didn't mention the dissolution of the engagement to him. It turned out that Zhao Di, King of Yan, was leaving Liangjing for a while.

To build the canal, of course, the king of Yan does not need to be on guard at all times, and he has his own supervisors, but to start the construction, to pay homage to the river god, etc., it is necessary for the royal family to go in person.

Mo Shaoheng glanced at Zhao Di in front of him, did he just happen to be going to build the canal, or did he come up with a way to keep the engagement from being broken for the time being?

If it was the latter, he would have committed a serious crime. Even if it was just a round trip, there would be quite a lot of bumps along the way.

The court meeting ended soon, and there were no other major events.

Mo Shaoheng left the Golden Palace and waited for Zhao Di outside.

"When will King Yan leave?"

Zhao Di replied, "Tomorrow."

Mo Shaoheng was taken aback for a moment, he was in such a hurry.

That's right, if you're not in a hurry, Mrs. Yong'an, Concubine Tian has to let them break off their engagement before setting off.

Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be comfortable in Liangjing on this journey. I'll send some salted fish for you to take along with you on the way."

The salted fish can be stored for a long time, which is just right.

After finishing speaking, he continued, "I have recently released some new fabrics in my house, which cannot be bought elsewhere. I think you have promised not to dissolve the engagement for the time being, and you will have to endure great pressure. You have done me a big favor. Anyway, I I should also thank you, so I brought you one of the finished garments."

Mo Shaoheng's eyes were rolling. He was indeed here to show his kindness, because he had promised Zhao Di a promise, and he was a little flustered in his heart. If he showed his kindness more, Zhao Di wouldn't make things difficult for him in the future.

As the saying goes, you are short-handed.

Mo Shaoheng beckoned to Nanyi, and brought Nanyi here just to get the clothes.

Nan Yi held the box over.

When the box was opened, it was also a red brocade robe.

"Would you like to go to the side hall to change and see if it fits?"

Zhao Di glanced at the red robe Mo Shaoheng was wearing, and then at the red robe in the box, but he didn't refuse.

When Zhao Di came out from the side hall, Mo Shaoheng's eyes lit up.

He said, what happened to the big red, there are people who can control it.

When Zhao Di wore this other style of red brocade robe, he felt a little different from Mo Shaoheng. It was steady and stern, fully displaying the charm of a mature youth.

It doesn't fit well.

The minister who walked out of the golden palace looked sideways frequently.

What is this?

People who don't know think they worship in front of the Golden Temple.

Where is the official book of the Ministry of Rites? Hurry up to see if it is suitable for etiquette.

However, two handsome people with different styles stand together, giving people a sense of pleasure.

Zhao Di said, "Just right."

Mo Shaoheng smiled, "I asked someone to inquire about your size, and I asked someone to make it."

At this time, a sour voice sounded from the side, "There is a large audience, you are not ashamed, look at how many people are staring at you."

It was Zhao Yanqiu who spoke, and it was rare for this guy to go to court for the first time.

Mo Shaoheng looked back: "..."

God, when did so many people surround him, he dragged Zhao Di to the corner, avoiding his sight.

Zhao Yanqiu continued to say in a strange way, "It's not just a piece of clothing, but also specially brought to the Golden Palace."

Hmph, you are still so embarrassed in front of everyone, because you are afraid that others will not know that you have a marriage contract?

It's still red, so who is sour?

But he heard that Concubine Tian and Concubine Zhenbei seem to intend to break off their engagement, even if you wear the same clothes, you won't be able to get together.

Zhao Di was about to speak, when Mo Shaoheng looked at Zhao Yanqiu, "It just so happens that I also have a piece of clothing to give to His Highness Fifth."

Zhao Yanqiu was about to continue his sour words, but he couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, "Me too?"

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, he also dyed a few pieces of cloth with variegated flowers, it was too gorgeous, except for Zhao Yanqiu, few people could wear it with its demeanor.

Just bring it together.

Mo Shaoheng fetched another box from Nanyi's hand, "Why don't you try wearing it, Your Highness?"

Zhao Yanqiu: "..."

The clothes in the box were more complicated than Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Di's. The fabric was dyed with little flowers one after another, which was completely different from the knitted ones.

seamless.

It looked very novel.

Look at Mo Shaoheng for a while, and Zhao Di for a while.

The corner of his mouth raised, "Just try it."

While waiting, Mo Shaoheng was still wondering why Zhao Di suddenly didn't say a word.

Wait for Zhao Yanqiu to come out from the side hall.

Like a proud flower peacock in the world.

Dots of flowers are dotted on the decent brocade robe, just like the splendor of a peacock when it spreads its tail, and all the flowers in the world are on the robe, which is also beautiful.Mo Shaoheng couldn't help but ask, "How about my fabric?"

Zhao Yanqiu replied, "It's not bad."

The surrounding ministers also looked at Zhao Yanqiu in amazement.

"My son is studying under Mo Shaoheng's school. I heard from my son a few days ago that Mo Shaoheng wants to reflect the flowers on the brocade."

"I didn't understand it at the time."

"Look now, the flowers are just on the icing on the cake."

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince wears this robe, and it has a different style."

"This cloth is also really beautiful. I have never seen such a bright one. Look at the flowers, as if they were born on the cloth."

Mo Shaoheng said, "As long as you like it."

There are too many people now, it is estimated that the Minister of Rites really has to rush over to arrest people.

After saying a few words, Mo Shaoheng hurried away with Nan Yi.

After Mo Shaoheng left, Zhao Yanqiu looked at Zhao Di, "I heard that you are planning to break off the engagement?"

Zhao Di: "No."

Zhao Yanqiu: "..."

How can you talk nonsense with your eyes open?Thinking he didn't know, he asked someone to inquire about it.

Zhao Di glanced at Zhao Yanqiu, "Didn't you hate Mo Shaoheng the most before, and you also wore the clothes he gave you?"

Zhao Yanqiu snorted, "Not only do I want to wear it, but I also want to flaunt it in the market every day."

Zhao Di: "..."

When Mo Shaoheng first returned to Beiliang, Zhao Yanqiu was the one who yelled, beat, and killed the most. After a while, he raised the flag of rebellion, and he was too unsteady.

At this time, Mo Shaoheng was leaving the palace, and was going to prepare some salted fish for Zhao Di, and asked him to take it with him on the way.

At this time, Zhibei suddenly chased after him, "My lord, King Yan asked me to bring a word to my lord."

"The king of Yan told the son not to forget the promise."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Sure enough, Zhao Di must have dug a hole for him, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded him so urgently.

Mo Shaoheng was so scared that he hurried to prepare more salted fish. After eating his salted fish, he wouldn't make things difficult for him, would he?

There are still a lot of things to do today, and the quilts that Mo Shaoheng asked to buy for the small shopkeepers have also arrived.

Buy sooner or later, buy sooner or later.

When Mo Shaoheng came to Bird Clothes Lane, the shopkeepers were lining up to get their quilts.

One of the small ones, holding a quilt that was a quarter higher than his head, bumped into the team.

"What are you doing, bean?"

Douzi giggled, "This quilt is too thick, I can't even see the road ahead."

In the past, they slept in ruined temples under other people's eaves. Where did they get the quilts?

But now, their quilts are so thick that they feel very warm just by hugging them.

The little face rubbed against the quilt, feeling extremely comfortable.

There are two quilts, the prince said, one is used for making and the other is used for covering, so that in winter it will not be afraid of the cold.

Two hundred small shopkeepers lined up to receive the quilts, which naturally attracted many people to watch.

Mo Shaoheng has nothing to say to these small shopkeepers, even the people of Liangjing.

Look, all the small shopkeepers who used to be skinny and yellow are now white and tender, and they look very pleasing.

I heard that these little shopkeepers who have no father and no mother now have to go together every time they go out, because... for fear of being abducted and sold by human teeth, children who look like this are easy to sell.

Now I have bought so many quilts. The quilts are not ordinary linen clothes, they are expensive.

This is probably a lot of money.

At this time, someone said, "Do you know? There is an official salt shop in the middle of Wuyi Lane."

"My second uncle took a detour yesterday and just passed by. Looking at the salt in that shop, he didn't dare to approach it because it was so good, white and fine, even better than the salt used by noble families. He thought he must buy it. Great."

"In the end, the official in the shop called my second uncle to go and have a look."

"This is incredible. It is obviously high-quality salt, but the price is cheaper than the rough salt we bought."

The people around were stunned, "How is this possible?"

The man snorted, "How is that impossible? My second uncle bought a lot on the spot, and when he came back, he came to inform my family to buy too."

"If I hadn't bought that good salt at a low price, I would have told you so firmly and carefully?"

"Let me tell you, the salt is as fine as white sand, without any bitter taste."

"To be honest, I have never seen such a good salt in my life."

The people around were in an uproar, "This is impossible, we have eaten salt for a lifetime, how can we still not know the price of salt?"

The man said, "That was before, now, not only can we afford salt, but we can also eat good salt."

"In the past, didn't there be news that Mo Shaoheng had discovered a new salt-making process? At that time, he hadn't seen salt and didn't know the price of salt. After discussing for a few days, there was no news."

"I heard from the salt seller that this salt is made using the new salt-making process discovered by Mo Shaoheng. The output is beyond imagination, and that's why it's so cheap."

"In the future, there will be more official salt shops like this in Liangjing. I really don't have any shortage of salt in Beiliang. The money I save on buying salt can buy a lot of other things."

It was quiet all around.

The man was also sighing, "Eating this salt, I felt a little panicked. I used to scold Mo Shaoheng secretly a lot."

"Since Mo Shaoheng returned to Beiliang, he has never owed Beiliang anything, instead..."

They could also see what Mo Shaoheng had done.

There was also silence around.

"Eating cheap and high-quality salt, if you still scold Mo Shaoheng unscrupulously, I'm afraid it will be shameless."

The man continued, "I finished buying salt yesterday, and for some reason, I went to the stewed meat shop next door to buy some stewed meat. It seems that if I don't buy some other things Mo Shaoheng sells, I feel like I owe someone of."

"However, the stewed pork really tastes as good as others have said. I can't believe it. The stewed pork is all made of pork."

Of course, some people still don't believe it.

The man muttered, "The official salt shop is there, if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

"If it wasn't for the fact that I could buy such good salt in the future, I wouldn't have said it. Couldn't I secretly buy it?"

Whether you believe it or not, you will naturally have to see it to understand.

For the first time, there was a long queue at the official salt shop.

Bird Clothes Lane also showed signs of queuing for the first time.

People who bought salt looked at the cheap and excellent salt in their hands.

It can be said that without Mo Shaoheng, they would not be able to eat such salt.

What this means to the people of Beiliang, they more or less understand.

Many of them walked silently to the next shop.

Mo Shaoheng can change, so why not them.

The resistance to Bird Clothes Lane has further loosened.

After Mo Shaoheng got the news, his mood became much happier, and he took the initiative to say, "Send the ledger to the house at night, and I want to look through it."

The shopkeeper laughed.

His heart was also full of joy. After so many years, he finally lived a normal life in Wuyixiang.

On the second day, Mo Shaoheng asked someone to carry a box of salted fish to Zhao Di.

outside the city.

The densely packed refugees are already migrating, and it is estimated that within two days, there will be very few refugees outside Liangjing.

Mo Shaoheng asked people to carry the salted fish into the car, and the nanny in charge of the Zhenbei Palace was also teaching Yan Wang's people how to cook salted fish.

"This salted fish is easy to cook, and it can add a taste to it if you eat it on the road. It's a good thing..."

Mo Shaoheng walked towards Zhao Di, "How long have you been here?"

King Yan replied, "More than one month."

It was mainly the arrangement of the preliminary work. After the arrangement was settled, he only needed to stay in the mansion and listen to the work report on time.

Mo Shaoheng nodded, a month was not long, it passed in the blink of an eye.

Mo Shaoheng looked around, and then whispered, "What about this engagement when you come back?"

Zhao Di was also worried, "We'll figure out a solution when the time comes."

Zhinan and Zhibei passing by: "..."

What did they hear?

The master and the eldest son are conspiring to prevent the dissolution of the engagement?

Gollum.

The two swallowed, and looked at each other.

It's really secretly colluding.

Why don't you want to break off the engagement and engage in...getting together?There are no signs.

After sending Zhao Di away, Mo Shaoheng returned to Zhenbei Palace.

In the next period of time, more people came to Zhenbei Palace.

Because, the girls in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion wear so beautiful clothes that everyone pays attention to them wherever they go, and there are constant praises.

They also soon discovered that they couldn't buy such fabrics at all, no matter which fabric shop sold them.

Therefore, from time to time, wives from various prefectures came to the door.

There are not many dyed cloths in the mansion, but, there are always some favors that cannot be avoided, no matter what, the old lady and Mrs. Yong'an have to share a little to give away.

Mo Shaoheng didn't care about it, and let his grandmother and Mrs. Yong'an deal with the short-term favors of these parents.

The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion seemed to be a lot more lively, a bit like a normal Guixun's mansion.

Mo Shaoheng still should do what he should do.

Today is the small court meeting, so Mo Shaoheng would not go to court according to reason.

But he still went to wait outside the Golden Palace.

Because there is something related to him today

Xunzhou was defeated, and the results of the trial of Guo Su and the implicated family were about to come out.

No matter what the reason is, as a defense, failing to defend Xunzhou is naturally an unforgivable crime.

But these punishments vary greatly, and the court is discussing how to deal with Guo Su's family.

Among Wu Xun, there are those who sympathize with Guo Su, and feel that although Guo Su is guilty of Xunzhou's mistake, the crime will not harm the whole family.

Some people think that if the punishment is light, who will defend the territory to the death in the future.

Everyone is reasonable, and the debate is endless for a while.

The sage did not speak, that is to say, how to deal with Guo Su and his family needs to be discussed by the ministers.

Mo Shaoheng was waiting for news outside the Golden Palace.

When the court meeting was suspended, Mo Shaoheng got some information through Zhao Yanqiu.

Zhao Yanqiu said, "It's not easy for you to get out of this matter, so you won't dig into it again?"

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

He didn't understand this truth, but it would be wrong to say that the disaster Guo Su suffered had nothing to do with him.

If he came to beheaded everywhere as an example, he would leave a regret in his heart.

At this time, a father-in-law came to announce that the officials were allowed to enter the palace, and the court meeting was about to continue.

Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, and put his hands on the strings of the piano.

In the Golden Palace, all the ministers: "..."

Who is actually playing the piano outside the Golden Palace?

Although the court meeting has not yet started, it is somewhat discordant.

The sound of the zither was quite nice, they seemed to have seen Mo Shaoheng waiting outside the hall just now.

Could Mo Shaoheng be causing trouble again?Hasn't it been quiet for a while recently?

On the other hand, the civil servants in the hall listened carefully to the sound of the zither, their faces became extremely weird, and they couldn't help looking at the superior, the saint behind the bead curtain.

Wu Xun, who has a fairly good relationship with Wenchen, asked in a low voice, "What's going on? I see why you have such strange faces."

The man replied, "It's nothing, it's just... Mo Shaoheng played "Guang Ling San"."

"In the former dynasty, there was a great Confucian who was very good at "Guangling San". plead."

This was something that shocked the world in the previous dynasty.

Wu Xun who asked the question was stunned, even if he didn't explain, he understood what Mo Shaoheng was doing.

These literati are like this, they have to cover up something that no one can understand.

Can't help but also look to the saint.

If the sage didn't speak up, someone would complain to Mo Shaoheng, and probably he would have to punish him for his misconduct outside the hall, but not everyone can make such noise outside the hall.

This Mo Shaoheng is also strange, today is not the time for him to go to court, he finally got rid of the charges, but he comes out again, what is he thinking?

At this time, a father-in-law walked out of the hall, "Xuan, Mo Shaoheng, the eldest son of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, entered the hall."

All the ministers couldn't help being stunned, the saint actually called Mo Shaoheng into the palace.

Can't help but think again, the sage once rewarded Mo Shaoheng with an extremely inappropriate official position, a teaching assistant in the four disciplines of teaching and educating people, and now a doctor of literature.

Because these two official positions, although the officials are not big, have extremely high requirements for moral reputation, and only those who cannot have stains on their bodies can hold them.

No matter how you look at it, Mo Shaoheng shouldn't be given such a reward.

I really can't figure out the mind of the saint.

Another example is now, if it is someone else, I am afraid that they will have to hit the board before they are allowed to enter the palace.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, when did Mo Shaoheng become so favored?They don't know anything.

Mo Shaoheng entered the hall, walked to the middle of the hall, and bowed in a proper manner.The majestic voice of the saint sounded, "What's the noise outside the temple?"

Everyone: "..."

In their ears, the saint seemed to be asking casually, what were you doing outside the temple?

Mo Shaoheng cupped his hands, "Report to the saint, I suddenly remembered something important, I need to report to the saint."

Everyone: "..."

an important matter?Wasn't the "Guangling San" that I read just now to defend Guo Su?

Mo Shaoheng continued, "As for the cotton seeds that I offered, although there is only one box, I know that there are many such seeds in the outer lands. If we send people out now, maybe in the spring of next year, we will be able to bring Bring back a lot of cotton planting."

Mo Shaoheng continued, "Cotton seeds are of great importance, Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. The usefulness of cotton has not been spread yet, but just in case, someone will take the cotton seeds first."

Everyone: "..."

There are cotton seeds in the outer domain?Isn't it just that box?

Mo Shaoheng continued, "It's just that this place in the outer domain has always been mysterious, and people from Beiliang seldom set foot there. It must be a very difficult journey, and it's close to death."

In ancient times, trekking long distances, especially to the Western Regions, was indeed a narrow escape, because there was no road, and you had to climb mountains and ridges. In ancient times, wild beasts and birds were not kept in zoos, and they might be in danger at any time.

Mo Shaoheng said, "That's why, I asked Guo Su to use his merits as a substitute for the crime and go to the foreign region to retrieve the cotton seeds."

Everyone looked at each other.

They probably knew what Mo Shaoheng was going to do.

Mo Shaoheng wanted to use this method to protect Guo Su's family.

However, how difficult and dangerous the Outer Territory is, even if Guo Su is spared the death penalty, it is not known whether he will be able to come back intact after this trip.

But it is indeed a way to save lives and redeem sins.

Everyone was silent. Guo Su will definitely do his best to avoid all the crimes. He is indeed the best candidate now.

After Mo Shaoheng finished speaking, he began to wait.

The sage said, "What do you think?"

In the Golden Palace, everyone discussed.

Regarding Guo Su, they had already made a conclusion in their hearts, and now it was just a result.

After a while, the six ministers stood up, "here."

Only then did Mo Shaoheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Day two.

Liangjing city gate.

Guo Su took a team of people to prepare for a long journey.

Things in this world are really unpredictable, he lost Xunzhou because of a riot caused by Mo Shaoheng, he thought that the whole family was doomed.

Unexpectedly, it was Mo Shaoheng who played "Guangling San" outside the Golden Palace, pleading for him, and only then did he have a chance of survival.

Facing the father and son of the family who came to see him off, he said, "You can rest at home and wait for me to get the cotton seeds back."

"Although I will no longer be as rich and honored as before, I will be able to live a peaceful life after all."

At this time, a fast horse came towards the outside of the city. It was a veteran, the Yingwei of the Zhenbei Palace.

Yingwei got off his horse and walked up to Guo Su, "General Guo, my family has something that I want to give to the general."

Guo Su was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I'm still some kind of general now."

The thing that was handed over was a... map.

The veteran said, "Although Outland is difficult and dangerous, this map was originally drawn for Shizi Cotton Planting Outland merchants. The general only needs to follow the route marked on the map, and he will not lose anything."

"I hope that the general will bring back the cotton seeds as soon as possible to keep the family safe."

Guo Su: "..."

In the Golden Palace, didn't Mo Shaoheng describe this trip as a narrow escape?But now he took out a specific map.

My heart was shocked, if Mo Shaoheng hadn't said that this trip was so difficult, how could his Guo family escape easily.

Quickly put away the map.

My heart is extremely complicated, and it stands to reason that Mo Shaoheng cannot escape the Guo family's fall into such a situation, but now...

Finally, he hugged his fist and said "thank you".

The long team left Liangjing and headed for the distance.

At this time, Mo Shaoheng was teaching his students about the topic of directional cultivation of seeds.

Since it is necessary to practice and plant an experimental field for each person, the key is to select seeds before starting to plant.

Mo Shaoheng is teaching how to choose good seeds.

On this day, fifteen students ran to all the rice shops in Liangjing.When entering the shop, one by one, one by one, one by one, one would look into other people's rice bags.

She still looked decent, and muttered in her mouth, "This is not plump enough, not fat enough."

"The color is not good, it must be the teacher said there is a problem with the light."

The shopkeeper of the shop was also very strange, why did these noble young masters come to his shop in the mood?

The student who came in asked excitedly, "Where does the rice in this bag come from?"

Shopkeeper: "..."

What's the situation? Ask about the place of origin when buying rice?

It depends on the quality of the rice.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, and answered one by one.

As a result, after the student left, several others came one after another, "Take...show me the best rice."

When these students returned home, the following servants each carried a sack of grain.

I was stunned, when did their young master learn how to purchase?

Looking at these bags, didn't they buy them from the same shop? This is the rice shop that has been all over Liangjing?

Not only that, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he began to summon the servants in the mansion, whether it was the rough envoy or the maid who brought tea and water.

Pointing to the bag, he said, "Today, your task is to pick the seeds, and pick out all the big ones and bright ones."

"I don't want those crooked melons and bad dates."

A group of servants: "..."

An old man in the mansion asked, "Every grain of this millet looks the same, so is it good or bad?"

They didn't look any different.

The student put his hands on his hips, "Why is there no good or bad? Let me show you, this one is plump and has a good color. It looks like a good seed..."

That's how the teacher taught them, and there are tall ones among the short ones.

Make chicken fly and dog jump.

There was so much commotion in the mansion, the elders in the mansion naturally wanted to come and see.

"What are you messing around with again?"

These students were unconvinced, "Why are you messing around? We are selecting seeds for our experimental site."

"The teacher said, don't look at it as a simple selection, it may change our whole Beiliang in the future."

"From now on, we will all be great contributors to Beiliang." He was so happy.

Leng said that people were stunned for a while, and it was a little funny, "Just pick a few seeds and you can become a great hero of my Beiliang? I see that these seeds are not all the same, and they will still grow a seedling after planting." Come."

The student hurriedly said, "It's different, it's different, the genes are different, just like people, if the parents are tall, there is a high probability that their children will also grow very tall, the same is true for plants, we have to combine the good genes The seeds are selected so that they can reproduce from generation to generation, and then select better ones, this is called the directional cultivation of seeds..."

Everyone: "..."

"I think I have to send people to Yanzhou and Zhizhou to buy some seeds back. Our teacher said that Yanzhou and Zhizhou have the best millet in Beiliang. There must be a reason."

"But I went to the rice shop to ask. Because Yanzhou and Zhizhou are far away from Liangjing, there are not many people to buy goods."

"It's best to ask someone to go to Dongtang to buy seeds. The teacher said that their millet production ranks first in all countries."
