After I resigned, I became popular in the whole universe [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 45 The steam train in ancient times
After eating, Si Peihuan went to decoct the medicine with enthusiasm under Si Qi's hidden despairing gaze.
Si Qi walked up and down in the yard looking at her, thinking about how to find an excuse to refuse later.
The porcelain pot on the small stove was bubbling and bubbling, and the lid on the top of the steam was constantly rising and falling, and the strange choking smell penetrated into the nostrils and bitterly penetrated into the heart.
Si Qi sighed, and diverted his attention in self-deception: [How do you think I can get more world power in this world]
After a little thought, I came up with the answer: [Assist the King of Chu in governing the country, and help Chu become more prosperous than in history]
Si Qi: [It's a correct answer, but the structure is small, I can do more than that]
Xixiu said yes, and guessed: 【Then research out guns and ammunition to conquer other countries? 】
Si Qi: [The layout is still small]
Let go of your courage and think: 【Then conquer the world! 】
Si Qi was helpless: [... Is your imagination so limited? 】
Xuxiu was frightened: [Isn't it enough to conquer the world? 】
Si Qi pointed to the medicine pot and said, 【What did you see? 】
Xuxiu said in a low voice: [Master's archenemy? 】
Si Qi: 【………】
咻咻to please and laughed: [I mean, the little troubles in your life that are not worth mentioning? 】
Si Qi said unhappily: [It's a steam engine! ! 】
With a strange cry: [Ah! ? 】
Si Qi looked at the bubbling lid, and his tone was a little excited: [I studied the cultural history of the previous world, and found that the reason why human science and technology in that world can advance rapidly is the steam engine.Because of the appearance of the steam engine, mechanical energy began to replace manpower, and electric energy entered the stage together, and society entered the era of technological explosion!
[If I can directly pull the ancient civilization to the modern civilization before the end of my life, the power of the world brought by it, let alone one hundred and eight, even two hundred and eight will not be a problem! 】
Si Qi smiled and said: [Assist Chao Gang?conquer the world?what is this!If it weren't for my limited lifespan, I could even take humans into space!Travel to another planet! 】
The knowledge he has acquired tirelessly over thousands of years is not something to look at.
Xixiu was fascinated by Si Qi's assumptions: [Master is really amazing! ! 】
Because not only did he dare to think that way, he really dared to do it!
The point is, he can really do it!
Xixiu said: [However, is the steam engine really that easy to manufacture? 】
[Have you seen the kettle? ] Si Qi smiled and said: [The steam engine is just a kettle, but it is more airtight]
He walked to the study room, picked up the brush on the table, sketched a few simple and clear lines on the paper, and said: [Look, this is the design drawing of the steam engine]
Xiuxiu took a look and said in surprise: [It's so simple? 】
[Yes, it's very simple, even junior high school students can design it.The difficulty is nothing more than the idea of creating something from scratch, and the idea of utilizing the kinetic energy of steam] Si Qidao: [At first I wanted to bypass steam and directly enter the stage of electric energy. The initial step of power generation can be done by hydraulic power.However, the stride is still a bit big, and many technical difficulties are difficult to deal with. It must be done step by step... The war is about to break out, and there is no time at all.In terms of materials, it’s not a problem for Chu Feng, the future king of a country, to find them for me, such as sulfuric acid and aluminum plates used as batteries, and the most important marine chemical industry...]
The more you listened, the more your head grew bigger, and you said with a sneer: [That...Master, when you were studying and studying, Xuxiu was always playing games...]
Si Qi was speechless: [You have the nerve to say that you are an auxiliary intelligent system? 】
Xuxiu said with a cheeky and indifferent smile: [Xuxiu, isn't there a specialization in surgery?]
Although he is not good at assisting, he is good at hugging thighs!
Occasionally risking your life or something is not a problem~~
Si Qi thought for a while: [Is there any future technology like 'smart system' in the golden finger of the son of the world? 】
Xuxiu became nervous at that time, and said aggrievedly: [Master qaq, do you want me? 】
Si Qi: [If you can replace the functions of those systems, I don’t need to use the power of those things... But I’m not talking about that now, if I borrow that system temporarily and use the knowledge it stores to change The world, is it a violation?]
He breathed a sigh of relief, passed the judgment system installed in the body after a while, and replied: [It is considered a violation, because the main auxiliary ability of that system for the children of the world is the knowledge stored in it, which is the same concept as the grandfather in the ring]
Si Qi said helplessly: [Okay, it seems that I still have to rely on myself]
Xixiu flattered and said: [With the strength of the master, of course, there is no need for the help of the system that is in trouble with the children of the world]
Si Qi: 【………】
Xixiu's tone was like Zheng Gong blowing pillow wind to her husband, saying that the wild flowers on the roadside were not good or bad.
It was also at this time that Prince Chu sent people to bring good news. The emperor had already approved the right to manufacture ironware and the use of the Linhai territory.
Si Qi immediately stated that such an important matter cannot be delayed.Amidst the anxious cry of "You haven't taken the medicine yet!" from the elder sister behind her, she said something very honestly as an excuse that the great cause of the family and the country are the most important thing, and slipped away without looking back.
With such a dignified appearance, the people who came to report the news to him were quite moved, and looked at Si Qi with eyes full of respect.
In the East Palace, the staff members are gathering to discuss matters.
Seeing Si Qi's arrival, this group of well-known bigwigs suddenly burst into smiles, smiling like a group of children.
The East Palace is well-informed, and many things that have just happened to the outside world, and they haven't even had time to spread them, they have long been aware of them here.
Immediately said to Si Qi: "It is said that it is recuperating at home, but I did not expect such a big thing to be done so quietly!"
Si Qi recalled it for a while, and felt that he hadn't made a steam engine, as if he hadn't done anything important, so he asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"
Many people held a few sheets of rice paper full of words in their hands, and they couldn't put it down, and said to Si Qi with joy, "Of course it's to discredit the fourth princess and run away in embarrassment!"
"Look at this poem, how well written it is!"
Someone looked at Si Qi expectantly and asked who wrote the collection of poems.Si Qi still used the same rhetoric: "I picked up the collection of poems, and I don't know about it."
Many people who love poetry like their lives scratched their hearts and livers anxiously, and some people took a deep look at Si Qi, feeling that they had seen through the truth, and showed a profound smile.
"I understand, we all understand, you don't need to pretend in front of us."
"You don't want the fourth princess to find out that you are framing her, that's why you make such an excuse, don't you?"
"I have wronged you. You have written so many peerless poems, but you can't put your own name on it."
Si Qi was taken aback by their loving eyes.
Others may think that "Si Qi cannot write so many famous poems by himself. He is not behind the scenes. He just discovered that the collection of poems exposed the conspiracy of the fourth princess in public", or "Si Qi and the fourth princess have nothing to do with each other." There is no enmity, there is no reason to target the fourth princess, the fault of this matter is that the fourth princess should not deceive the world and steal her name", and "Didn't Si Qi read out the "one year old and one dry glory" of the fourth princess in advance? She did plagiarize Works in the collection of poems" and other reasons, I believe that Si Qi has nothing to do with this matter.
But in the eyes of these staff who have fought against the fourth princess several times, the fourth princess not only can write poems, but also sends the fourth prince to such a high position by herself, she is a truly capable person.
The reason why Si Qi targeted her was because she belonged to the Fourth Prince, and because she almost killed Si Qi and his sister.
It may take some time to convince them that the fourth princess is actually a thief.
Si Qi can't really explain the existence of time travel to the group of colleagues in front of him, or he can't talk nonsense that there are really gods in this world.
When they find out that the fourth princess can no longer write poems, they should be able to believe that she is a liar.
Thinking of this, Si Qi changed the subject and said, "What were you guys discussing just now?"
Speaking of business, this group of people can be regarded as breaking away from the enthusiasm just now, and said helplessly: "It's still because of the fourth princess."
"In recent years, there have been frequent famines, and the common people have not enough to eat. Your Majesty has a great headache. The fourth princess invented a thing called chemical fertilizer, which can increase food production! His Majesty's dragon heart was very happy, and he rewarded the fourth prince with many treasures. Praise He marries a wife and a virtuous man, and loves the people like a son."
"Glass, soap, chess, fertilizer... I really don't know what is in this girl's head, why is she so smart..."
"It's a pity, I married the Fourth Prince."
Seeing the sad faces of several people, Si Qi smiled lightly and said, "That's it?"
After hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly burst into light, and they said earnestly, "Do you have a solution?"
"That's right! The fourth prince has the fourth concubine, and His Royal Highness has Si Qi!"
"Why do you feel so weird when you say that..." Si Qi felt a little awkward when he heard it, and glanced at Prince Chu, who was looking at him, and saw that the other party looked at him as if smiling, which made Si Qi inexplicably feel a little embarrassed.
It's like being indirectly molested.
Si Qi said: "Do you know the materials used for the fertilizer?"
Everyone said directly: "It's so secret, how do we know? His Royal Highness...?"
Chu Yan shook his head slightly: "Gu Wei never asked Father."
He looked at Si Qi: "If it's important, Gu will ask about it later."
Si Qi said directly: "No need, I can probably guess it."
In the memory of the original owner, five or six years after the daughter of the world came to this world, she "invented" the black powder at a critical moment when the enemy was about to get under her nose.Things like glass and soap were launched after a year or two. Presumably, the level of knowledge reserve of the daughter of the world should be the level of ordinary people.
The chemical fertilizer that ordinary people can fiddle with may be just a simple way to increase the nutrition of the soil with manure after much deliberation.
It cannot be the nitrogen fertilizer, urea, etc., which will increase production in later generations.
It is not a problem for Si Qi to produce these advanced chemical fertilizers. The easiest way is to treat phosphate rock with sulfuric acid to produce phosphate fertilizer. This thing is very beneficial to vegetables and fruits, and the extracted phosphorus can be used as war materials. No waste.
The difficulty is that it took a certain amount of time to manufacture these things from scratch in the ancient world, and what everyone is worried about is the current situation.Si Qilue thought for a moment, then said: "If you want to increase the yield of fertile land, the way is not only chemical fertilizers."
He took the pen and paper from the table, and said while writing: "Farmers need to go to the river to fetch water repeatedly to irrigate the soil. Digging out the canal will save the trouble of going back and forth in the future, and the extra time can be used to cultivate more land. Similarly, the canal can also mediate the temperature difference between day and night for the plants, and the fertile silt can also be used as fertilizer or fired bricks. Constantly The flowing water can drive the waterwheel, and the waterwheel can be used to thresh chaff and grind flour..."
If it goes on, it is endless. Si Qi stopped temporarily, changed the route and continued: "Farm tools and cattle are also a problem that needs to be solved. Many people don't even have an iron plow..."
The staff on the side had already been dazzled by Si Qi's huge amount of information before, and now they finally reached a place where they had a little say, and said directly: "Ironware is a controlled item, and only big landowners can approve its use."
Si Qi nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.In ancient times, ironware was equivalent to weapons and was a necessary tool for rebellion. In history, there are even allusions of common people cutting vegetables with wooden knives, or several families sharing a kitchen knife.
Si Qi: "So, we can allow them to obtain the right to use, not to hold. Let them rent farm tools and cattle from the government, and the price is a part of the grain they will cultivate in the future. In this way, farmers can produce more grain , the government can also get more benefits.”
People who can become the prince's staff will definitely not be stupid, and they were immediately awakened by Si Qi's words, as if they had been opened to the eight extraordinary meridians, and the whole person trembled.
The way he looked at Si Qi at that time was like looking at a god-man.
Many things, like steam engines, are not reminded by the first person, so no one can think of them even after thousands of years.
In their eyes, Si Qi is the first Wright brother to fly into the sky, which is simply amazing.
Si Qi was not finished yet. He recalled the knowledge he had read in books, and used a brush to outline the designs of several improved farm tools. Not only were they more time-saving and labor-saving than the farm tools commonly used today, but they could also be used more efficiently. Plant a larger area of land.
To give a vivid example, it is like a dagger in a soldier's hand, which is uniformly replaced with a red-tasseled gun and a machete, which are sharp weapons on the battlefield.The effect played is definitely not the same.
After casually taking away the design drawing and putting it aside, Si Qi continued, "Then there is field management..."
No one could hear what was behind Si Qi, and they all squeezed in front of the drawings, their eyes widened, and you talked hotly, saying loudly: "You can understand? You can't understand! I I don’t understand either! Hurry up and ask the adults from the Ministry of Agriculture to come over!!”
Si Qi who was pushed aside: "..."
Okay, let's wait until they digest the previous ones before talking about other things.
What about improving high-quality seeds, introducing high-yielding varieties, scientifically picking and cultivating... I guess they would only be confused if they said it.
Si Qi also thought about the improvement of the breeding industry just now, but the farming industry alone is enough for these staff to keep busy for a long time.
Seeing how ecstatic they are now, I can't wait to gear up and start a big career.
I hope that in the future, when I am driven by him to be so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, and I don't have a moment of leisure, I don't want to whine that he can do everything.
Thinking of this, Si Qi looked at His Royal Highness, who was carefully reading the notes written by Si Qi, and thought that if it was the King of Chu in history who trusted Si Qi wholeheartedly, he would be willing to cooperate with him and make this country a better place. Be more prosperous.
He will understand him and support him.
Thinking of this, Si Qi couldn't help but feel very relieved.
At this moment, an attendant ran in with sweat on his forehead, held up a bowl of hot traditional Chinese medicine with great excitement, and said to Si Qi as if offering a treasure: "My lord! Your medicine!"
His eyes were full of admiration and love, and his smile was so bright: "I knew you had no time to drink the medicine and came here! His Highness the Crown Prince specially sent a horse and horse, and asked me to bring the medicine for you!"
"My lord, Your Highness is really kind to you!"
Si Qi: "..."
Si Qi looked at Chu Yan with despair, feeling betrayed, unable to say anything.
Seeing Si Qi's expression, the prince who was always moody and angry suddenly burst out laughing, his face full of joy.
Si Qi watched him silently with a blank expression, thinking, what a safe haven, this guy is the source of his pain!
The young man who has always been confident and fearless is now frowning because of a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine. The contrast is so great that the prince finds it very cute.
The staff members were busy sorting out the various plans that Si Qi just proposed, and they took care of this side flawlessly for a while.The crown prince got up, ordered his servants to fetch caramel, and said to Si Qi as if coaxing a child: "Hey, after drinking the medicine, I'll give you candy."
Si Qi said sullenly: "What kind of candy, those candies are not sweet at all."
The prince didn't mind Si Qi's resistance at all, and instead asked, "Do you like honey?"
The attendant holding the medicine bowl at the side was stunned, wondering when His Highness the Crown Prince had ever spoken to people in such a soft voice, and even used that incomparably precious honey to coax people to take medicine obediently.
Such love is unheard of.
Si Qi struggled again and again, seeing that Chu Feng was firm in persuading him to drink the medicine, he had no choice but to compromise: "If it's honey... okay."
Only then did Chu Yan stretch his frowning brows, and joked, "Like a child."
Si Qi quibbled: "I'm not afraid of taking medicine, I'm just discussing the matter, saying that the candies are not sweet."
Prince: "Oh?"
In this day and age, sugar is an absolute top luxury.The caramel that the crown prince rewarded Si Qi in advance was even more expensive than herbal medicines, and it was basically something that only princes and nobles could enjoy.
In foreign countries, even for a long time, sucrose has been regarded as a kind of magic medicine, a treasure bestowed by God, which can cure colds and fevers.
Not to mention honey, in the absence of perfect beekeeping technology, all honey is collected in the wild, and the quantity is so rare that it is conceivable that even the prince's east palace may not have much stock, which is genuine. of liquid gold.
But he casually used it to make Si Qi happy, and the care and love in it can be imagined.
Si Qi saw that Chu Yan was so gentle to him, and the little depression that was still there quickly dissipated, and he said to the prince: "Your Highness sent me so much honey, and I will definitely make sugar as high as a mountain for His Highness in return. "
Prince Chu couldn't help laughing: "Your sweet words are sweeter than sugar."
But Si Qi said: "I am serious, I know how to make sugar sweeter than honey, and I also know how to get a lot of honey."
Hearing this, the prince fixedly looked at the young man in front of him.
He really didn't know how many unknown treasures the person in front of him still had waiting for him to dig, and he felt more and more cute, wishing to hold it in his palm and cherish it. "So, you can talk about it in detail."
Si Qi explained: "The source of caramel is nothing more than the extraction of sweet potatoes, sorghum, malt, etc. However, there is a thing in the south called sugarcane. The sugarcane juice is clear and sweet, and it can leave cinnabar-like particles after boiling over a high fire. It’s brown sugar. It’s sweeter than honey, and it’s good for the human body.”
The surrounding staff who were still discussing farm tools all fell silent at some point, their voices softened, and needles could be heard in the huge hall.
This, is this something that can be heard casually?
Such a precious secret, if leaked...
The eyes of the staff members instantly turned fierce, staring at the guards outside the door, and the trembling attendants holding the medicine bowls, like tigers who choose to eat.
Si Qi was keenly aware of this, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, but in a year or two, sugar will be produced in large quantities, and it will be in and out of every household. Moreover, the sugar making process is simple, and it can be brewed in private workshops, so it's not a big deal. "
The staff looked at Si Qi dumbly, and had nothing to say to Si Qi's calm tone.
This, this, this person is really, does he know how much benefit he can bring from a word he said casually?That's sugar!A piece of sugar can easily be exchanged for a lot of silver!
Si Qi said again: "There are sugar cane in the south, and sugar beets in the north, both of which can be made into brown sugar and white sugar. The fourth prince has four princesses to manage his business and manage money for him to win people's hearts. Naturally, His Highness needs dozens of ways to make money..."
The staff members slowly came back to their senses, and looked at Si Qi with the shock of surprise and joy in their eyes.
Perhaps, in Si Qi's eyes, "mere" extravagant caramel is really nothing.
There was a lot of chatter: "We need to plant sugar cane and sugar beets as soon as possible..."
"A large number of acquisitions..."
"Secretly made..."
Si Qi listened, and said to His Highness the Crown Prince with some doubts: "Do you need to hide it?"
Isn't this kind of thing necessary?His Highness did not criticize Si Qi's innocence, but instead asked, "What do you think?"
Si Qi: "Maybe it's hard for Your Highness to believe it, but from what I've seen, a mere white sugar is nothing. I can think of thousands of things for Your Highness that are far better than this."
The prince smiled: "When did Gu not believe what you said?"
The surrounding aides knew how things would develop after seeing the prince's attitude. They were so heartbroken that their faces were squeezed into bitter gourds, as if they had missed countless golden mountains and silver mountains.
Si Qi persuaded: "The sucrose has not yet been produced, and His Majesty will definitely ask His Highness to personally supervise the matter. How can His Majesty lose His Highness's share of the benefits obtained?"
The staff carefully pondered the joints, and admitted after a while: "What you said makes sense."
Seeing that they had figured it out, Si Qi smiled slightly, and said, "There is also the method of beekeeping."
and also?
Everyone's bodies shook, their eyes lit up, and they wished that Si Qi would quickly tell everything he knew in his mind!Let them open their eyes!
But this time, they screened off all outsiders in advance, and listened excitedly to Si Qi's high-spirited speeches, repeatedly refreshing their inner admiration for his rich talents and knowledge.
Even the crown prince began to feel that these important events were too important, and simply said: "Forget it, you go directly with me to meet the father, and tell him about it personally."
After hearing this, all the staff members had no intention of objecting.Indeed, although Si Qi did not have any fame, the many good strategies he offered in the past few days are enough for His Majesty the Emperor to treat him with extra courtesy.
Such a person was actually brought back by His Royal Highness when he went out of the house, it is true that even God is blessing His Highness! !
Si Qi walked up and down in the yard looking at her, thinking about how to find an excuse to refuse later.
The porcelain pot on the small stove was bubbling and bubbling, and the lid on the top of the steam was constantly rising and falling, and the strange choking smell penetrated into the nostrils and bitterly penetrated into the heart.
Si Qi sighed, and diverted his attention in self-deception: [How do you think I can get more world power in this world]
After a little thought, I came up with the answer: [Assist the King of Chu in governing the country, and help Chu become more prosperous than in history]

Xixiu said yes, and guessed: 【Then research out guns and ammunition to conquer other countries? 】
Si Qi: [The layout is still small]
Let go of your courage and think: 【Then conquer the world! 】
Si Qi was helpless: [... Is your imagination so limited? 】
Xuxiu was frightened: [Isn't it enough to conquer the world? 】
Si Qi pointed to the medicine pot and said, 【What did you see? 】
Xuxiu said in a low voice: [Master's archenemy? 】
Si Qi: 【………】
咻咻to please and laughed: [I mean, the little troubles in your life that are not worth mentioning? 】

Si Qi thought for a while: [Is there any future technology like 'smart system' in the golden finger of the son of the world? 】
Xuxiu became nervous at that time, and said aggrievedly: [Master qaq, do you want me? 】
Si Qi: [If you can replace the functions of those systems, I don’t need to use the power of those things... But I’m not talking about that now, if I borrow that system temporarily and use the knowledge it stores to change The world, is it a violation?]

"Why do you feel so weird when you say that..." Si Qi felt a little awkward when he heard it, and glanced at Prince Chu, who was looking at him, and saw that the other party looked at him as if smiling, which made Si Qi inexplicably feel a little embarrassed.
It's like being indirectly molested.
Si Qi said: "Do you know the materials used for the fertilizer?"
Everyone said directly: "It's so secret, how do we know? His Royal Highness...?"
Chu Yan shook his head slightly: "Gu Wei never asked Father."
He looked at Si Qi: "If it's important, Gu will ask about it later."
Si Qi said directly: "No need, I can probably guess it."
In the memory of the original owner, five or six years after the daughter of the world came to this world, she "invented" the black powder at a critical moment when the enemy was about to get under her nose.Things like glass and soap were launched after a year or two. Presumably, the level of knowledge reserve of the daughter of the world should be the level of ordinary people.
The chemical fertilizer that ordinary people can fiddle with may be just a simple way to increase the nutrition of the soil with manure after much deliberation.
It cannot be the nitrogen fertilizer, urea, etc., which will increase production in later generations.
It is not a problem for Si Qi to produce these advanced chemical fertilizers. The easiest way is to treat phosphate rock with sulfuric acid to produce phosphate fertilizer. This thing is very beneficial to vegetables and fruits, and the extracted phosphorus can be used as war materials. No waste.
The difficulty is that it took a certain amount of time to manufacture these things from scratch in the ancient world, and what everyone is worried about is the current situation.Si Qilue thought for a moment, then said: "If you want to increase the yield of fertile land, the way is not only chemical fertilizers."
He took the pen and paper from the table, and said while writing: "Farmers need to go to the river to fetch water repeatedly to irrigate the soil. Digging out the canal will save the trouble of going back and forth in the future, and the extra time can be used to cultivate more land. Similarly, the canal can also mediate the temperature difference between day and night for the plants, and the fertile silt can also be used as fertilizer or fired bricks. Constantly The flowing water can drive the waterwheel, and the waterwheel can be used to thresh chaff and grind flour..."
If it goes on, it is endless. Si Qi stopped temporarily, changed the route and continued: "Farm tools and cattle are also a problem that needs to be solved. Many people don't even have an iron plow..."
The staff on the side had already been dazzled by Si Qi's huge amount of information before, and now they finally reached a place where they had a little say, and said directly: "Ironware is a controlled item, and only big landowners can approve its use."
Si Qi nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.In ancient times, ironware was equivalent to weapons and was a necessary tool for rebellion. In history, there are even allusions of common people cutting vegetables with wooden knives, or several families sharing a kitchen knife.
Si Qi: "So, we can allow them to obtain the right to use, not to hold. Let them rent farm tools and cattle from the government, and the price is a part of the grain they will cultivate in the future. In this way, farmers can produce more grain , the government can also get more benefits.”
People who can become the prince's staff will definitely not be stupid, and they were immediately awakened by Si Qi's words, as if they had been opened to the eight extraordinary meridians, and the whole person trembled.
The way he looked at Si Qi at that time was like looking at a god-man.
Many things, like steam engines, are not reminded by the first person, so no one can think of them even after thousands of years.
In their eyes, Si Qi is the first Wright brother to fly into the sky, which is simply amazing.
Si Qi was not finished yet. He recalled the knowledge he had read in books, and used a brush to outline the designs of several improved farm tools. Not only were they more time-saving and labor-saving than the farm tools commonly used today, but they could also be used more efficiently. Plant a larger area of land.
To give a vivid example, it is like a dagger in a soldier's hand, which is uniformly replaced with a red-tasseled gun and a machete, which are sharp weapons on the battlefield.The effect played is definitely not the same.
After casually taking away the design drawing and putting it aside, Si Qi continued, "Then there is field management..."
No one could hear what was behind Si Qi, and they all squeezed in front of the drawings, their eyes widened, and you talked hotly, saying loudly: "You can understand? You can't understand! I I don’t understand either! Hurry up and ask the adults from the Ministry of Agriculture to come over!!”
Si Qi who was pushed aside: "..."
Okay, let's wait until they digest the previous ones before talking about other things.
What about improving high-quality seeds, introducing high-yielding varieties, scientifically picking and cultivating... I guess they would only be confused if they said it.
Si Qi also thought about the improvement of the breeding industry just now, but the farming industry alone is enough for these staff to keep busy for a long time.
Seeing how ecstatic they are now, I can't wait to gear up and start a big career.
I hope that in the future, when I am driven by him to be so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, and I don't have a moment of leisure, I don't want to whine that he can do everything.
Thinking of this, Si Qi looked at His Royal Highness, who was carefully reading the notes written by Si Qi, and thought that if it was the King of Chu in history who trusted Si Qi wholeheartedly, he would be willing to cooperate with him and make this country a better place. Be more prosperous.
He will understand him and support him.
Thinking of this, Si Qi couldn't help but feel very relieved.
At this moment, an attendant ran in with sweat on his forehead, held up a bowl of hot traditional Chinese medicine with great excitement, and said to Si Qi as if offering a treasure: "My lord! Your medicine!"
His eyes were full of admiration and love, and his smile was so bright: "I knew you had no time to drink the medicine and came here! His Highness the Crown Prince specially sent a horse and horse, and asked me to bring the medicine for you!"
"My lord, Your Highness is really kind to you!"
Si Qi: "..."
Si Qi looked at Chu Yan with despair, feeling betrayed, unable to say anything.
Seeing Si Qi's expression, the prince who was always moody and angry suddenly burst out laughing, his face full of joy.
Si Qi watched him silently with a blank expression, thinking, what a safe haven, this guy is the source of his pain!
The young man who has always been confident and fearless is now frowning because of a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine. The contrast is so great that the prince finds it very cute.
The staff members were busy sorting out the various plans that Si Qi just proposed, and they took care of this side flawlessly for a while.The crown prince got up, ordered his servants to fetch caramel, and said to Si Qi as if coaxing a child: "Hey, after drinking the medicine, I'll give you candy."
Si Qi said sullenly: "What kind of candy, those candies are not sweet at all."
The prince didn't mind Si Qi's resistance at all, and instead asked, "Do you like honey?"
The attendant holding the medicine bowl at the side was stunned, wondering when His Highness the Crown Prince had ever spoken to people in such a soft voice, and even used that incomparably precious honey to coax people to take medicine obediently.
Such love is unheard of.
Si Qi struggled again and again, seeing that Chu Feng was firm in persuading him to drink the medicine, he had no choice but to compromise: "If it's honey... okay."
Only then did Chu Yan stretch his frowning brows, and joked, "Like a child."
Si Qi quibbled: "I'm not afraid of taking medicine, I'm just discussing the matter, saying that the candies are not sweet."
Prince: "Oh?"
In this day and age, sugar is an absolute top luxury.The caramel that the crown prince rewarded Si Qi in advance was even more expensive than herbal medicines, and it was basically something that only princes and nobles could enjoy.
In foreign countries, even for a long time, sucrose has been regarded as a kind of magic medicine, a treasure bestowed by God, which can cure colds and fevers.
Not to mention honey, in the absence of perfect beekeeping technology, all honey is collected in the wild, and the quantity is so rare that it is conceivable that even the prince's east palace may not have much stock, which is genuine. of liquid gold.
But he casually used it to make Si Qi happy, and the care and love in it can be imagined.
Si Qi saw that Chu Yan was so gentle to him, and the little depression that was still there quickly dissipated, and he said to the prince: "Your Highness sent me so much honey, and I will definitely make sugar as high as a mountain for His Highness in return. "
Prince Chu couldn't help laughing: "Your sweet words are sweeter than sugar."
But Si Qi said: "I am serious, I know how to make sugar sweeter than honey, and I also know how to get a lot of honey."
Hearing this, the prince fixedly looked at the young man in front of him.
He really didn't know how many unknown treasures the person in front of him still had waiting for him to dig, and he felt more and more cute, wishing to hold it in his palm and cherish it. "So, you can talk about it in detail."
Si Qi explained: "The source of caramel is nothing more than the extraction of sweet potatoes, sorghum, malt, etc. However, there is a thing in the south called sugarcane. The sugarcane juice is clear and sweet, and it can leave cinnabar-like particles after boiling over a high fire. It’s brown sugar. It’s sweeter than honey, and it’s good for the human body.”
The surrounding staff who were still discussing farm tools all fell silent at some point, their voices softened, and needles could be heard in the huge hall.
This, is this something that can be heard casually?
Such a precious secret, if leaked...
The eyes of the staff members instantly turned fierce, staring at the guards outside the door, and the trembling attendants holding the medicine bowls, like tigers who choose to eat.
Si Qi was keenly aware of this, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, but in a year or two, sugar will be produced in large quantities, and it will be in and out of every household. Moreover, the sugar making process is simple, and it can be brewed in private workshops, so it's not a big deal. "
The staff looked at Si Qi dumbly, and had nothing to say to Si Qi's calm tone.
This, this, this person is really, does he know how much benefit he can bring from a word he said casually?That's sugar!A piece of sugar can easily be exchanged for a lot of silver!
Si Qi said again: "There are sugar cane in the south, and sugar beets in the north, both of which can be made into brown sugar and white sugar. The fourth prince has four princesses to manage his business and manage money for him to win people's hearts. Naturally, His Highness needs dozens of ways to make money..."
The staff members slowly came back to their senses, and looked at Si Qi with the shock of surprise and joy in their eyes.
Perhaps, in Si Qi's eyes, "mere" extravagant caramel is really nothing.
There was a lot of chatter: "We need to plant sugar cane and sugar beets as soon as possible..."
"A large number of acquisitions..."
"Secretly made..."
Si Qi listened, and said to His Highness the Crown Prince with some doubts: "Do you need to hide it?"
Isn't this kind of thing necessary?His Highness did not criticize Si Qi's innocence, but instead asked, "What do you think?"
Si Qi: "Maybe it's hard for Your Highness to believe it, but from what I've seen, a mere white sugar is nothing. I can think of thousands of things for Your Highness that are far better than this."
The prince smiled: "When did Gu not believe what you said?"
The surrounding aides knew how things would develop after seeing the prince's attitude. They were so heartbroken that their faces were squeezed into bitter gourds, as if they had missed countless golden mountains and silver mountains.
Si Qi persuaded: "The sucrose has not yet been produced, and His Majesty will definitely ask His Highness to personally supervise the matter. How can His Majesty lose His Highness's share of the benefits obtained?"
The staff carefully pondered the joints, and admitted after a while: "What you said makes sense."
Seeing that they had figured it out, Si Qi smiled slightly, and said, "There is also the method of beekeeping."
and also?
Everyone's bodies shook, their eyes lit up, and they wished that Si Qi would quickly tell everything he knew in his mind!Let them open their eyes!
But this time, they screened off all outsiders in advance, and listened excitedly to Si Qi's high-spirited speeches, repeatedly refreshing their inner admiration for his rich talents and knowledge.
Even the crown prince began to feel that these important events were too important, and simply said: "Forget it, you go directly with me to meet the father, and tell him about it personally."
After hearing this, all the staff members had no intention of objecting.Indeed, although Si Qi did not have any fame, the many good strategies he offered in the past few days are enough for His Majesty the Emperor to treat him with extra courtesy.
Such a person was actually brought back by His Royal Highness when he went out of the house, it is true that even God is blessing His Highness! !
