The identity of the child's father seems unusual

Jing Zhaoqiu had a bit of a headache, the emperor was really hard to deal with, and he still had demands.But he couldn't say no to the emperor, so he could only smile bitterly and wait for the emperor to say the second sentence.

In comparison, their family, Yi Zhiyu, is simply the cutest in the world.

The emperor put his hand in the bamboo basket and said suddenly: "I'm afraid I can't find another person in this palace who knows how to do this better than you."

Jing Zhaoqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood.This is a difficult test thrown at him, but also an opportunity.

"I want you to grow this thing, what do you think?" The more the person in the high position throws the question back to the people below, the more it shows that he has made a decision at this time.This question is just superficial or tentative.If it were another person, I'm afraid he would have knelt down to thank the Lord Long En gratefully, but Jing Zhaoqiu thought more.

kind?How?How long did it take, and what if it was not planted?He does not have a complete surrender heart, but has an independent and sound personality of his own.At this moment, what Jing Zhaoqiu thought was not about the emperor doing his best, but about protecting himself and his family as much as possible.

So he wants to ensure safety.

Jing Zhaoqiu's words were very calm, and his words caused some people to feel a little uncomfortable.Apparently some people thought that Jing Zhaoqiu was treasonous by haggling with the emperor.

"My villain, dare to ask, how much time, how many people and how much power will the emperor give me to do this?" He didn't want to be hindered unnecessarily in the process of breeding and planting.

As soon as the words came out, the emperor sized up Jing Zhaoqiu, obviously a little surprised that this young man didn't thank him immediately.But he didn't mean to be angry, instead he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will assign you a group of experienced farmers to help you. Don't worry about anything else. If you have any questions, you can directly explain to the Ministry of Household Affairs. If he can't make the decision, feel free to find me. As for the time... how long do you need at least before you can make big progress."

Jing Zhaoqiu thought about it, and it would take three to five years to form a large scale of production.

After listening to the emperor, he gave a time limit.

"Time is urgent. I will give you three years. After three years, you will hand over the answer sheet to me."

Three years... Although it is a bit short, it is not impossible.Jing Zhaoqiu nodded, and the emperor laughed heartily: "Since that's the case, I will promote you to be... How about Houji?"

Houji?Jing Zhaoqiu was at a loss, he was not very familiar with these official names, he only knew some common ones.I really can't remember, and this official name.But others immediately realized that this official position does not exist in this dynasty.

What does it mean that the emperor granted Jing Zhaoqiu an official position that did not exist in this dynasty?Yi Zhiyu also frowned, he naturally knew about it.Jing Zhaoqiu raised his head, looked down in embarrassment, and winked at Shang Yi Zhiyu, what does this mean.

Yi Zhiyu shook his head, telling Jing Zhaoqiu to be calm, the emperor didn't mean to harm him.

Seeing Jing Zhaoqiu's winking, the emperor thought it was funny, and saw that there were already discussions in the audience, so he said loudly: "Houji's official position is the official name of the Xianyao period, and there is no such official title in this dynasty. But I have one heart and one mind. Yao and Shun hoped that the weather in the rivers and mountains would be smooth and the people would not be hungry or cold, because they gave Jing Zhaoqiu the third-rank Houji, with a monthly salary of two thousand shi."

Now Jing Zhaoqiu fully understood how important the matter of planting potatoes was to the emperor.How many people take the imperial examinations for a lifetime, but they have just passed the Jinshi and rank, and whether they can be an official is a matter of course. Most people will only be a ninth-rank county magistrate in their lifetime, and they will never be able to climb to a third-rank official position.

And Jing Zhaoqiu, who was originally a white body, was conferred a third-rank official by the emperor, which is really astonishing.

Jing Zhaoqiu immediately thanked him, but now he really can't say anything else, besides, he didn't give a wink if he resisted the order.However, he was also a little happy.Hey, now I can show off with Yi Zhiyu when I go back.Hehehe, Jing Zhaoqiu thinks beautifully, Mrs. Hou Ji or something, thinks beautifully.

As for why he was still worrying about why he was going to farm suddenly, now it was replaced by another kind of secret joy, Jing Zhaoqiu couldn't remember it anymore.

At this point in the matter, the emperor simply ignored the tribute from the merchants in the back, and asked Yi Zhiyu directly: "Yi San, I know that you have always been smart and understand my wishes best. I wonder what surprises you can bring to me this time?"

Everyone was also guessing that this Yi San had always won the emperor's heart, and this time he knew what he was drumming up to please the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the thing Yi Zhiyu presented this time was a bit big, and it was covered with a red cloth, so it didn't show its true face.Just looking at the shape covered by the red cloth, it seems very strange.Many people have no idea what tricks Yi Zhiyu is playing, but sometimes the merchants who work with the farmers in the fields and mountains look familiar, but he is not sure what he can guess.

For a moment, everyone's curiosity was lifted.

Yi Zhiyu took a step back, raised his hand, and lifted the red cloth. The red cloth was spread in the air for a moment, and then rose into the howling flames, and the things underneath revealed their true colors.

It is a row of all kinds of agricultural tools made of wood and iron, large and small, from plowing, farming, sowing to harvesting, there are all kinds.But the style is a bit strange, completely different from the current ones. Not to mention those who don't know about production and grains, they don't understand it at all, even those who know about farming can't recognize it.

The emperor let out an exclamation and leaned over to take a closer look. The iron block was shiny and shining white. He saw the sharpness and firmness at first glance. hands.

The emperor pushed away coldly, looking determined to go his own way, joking, he was afraid of such a thing, so he was nothing like a good boy of the Xiao family. □□The country fought with strength and wisdom, won the world with gold and iron horses and yellow sand in the desert, but later generations will only live in the palace, without the grace of their ancestors.

The emperor was very curious about these things, and he could tell that it was a good iron that was not easy to rust.Of course, this is not his focus at the moment, other matters can be discussed privately with Yi San later.

The emperor asked Yi Zhiyu to explain in detail the uses and advantages of each item, and Yi Zhiyu said: "Please forgive me, the emperor, this is something that ordinary people can't do."

The emperor frowned, what is Yi San doing.How could he not know what he offered.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Zhiyu immediately said: "The emperor clearly noticed that these things were not from the hands of ordinary people, but were all in the hands of Lord Hou Jijing, so it is natural for him to explain."

Jing Zhaoqiu changed his words too quickly because of Yi Zhiyu, and the words Houji Jing who suddenly came out of his mouth were very unfamiliar to Jing Zhaoqiu, and Jing Zhaoqiu didn't even realize that they were referring to him.

Because he was stunned for a moment, he realized that everyone's eyes were on Jing Zhaoqiu.The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then he clapped his hands happily. It is my good fortune that Jing Aiqing has such talents at such a young age.

Jing Zhaoqiu couldn't evade a single word now, he just looked at Yi Zhiyu with a slightly annoyed look, a fish, you are doomed!Come out like this without notifying him in advance.Jing Zhaoqiu drove the ducks to the shelves, and began to explain to the emperor. Fortunately, he drew the blueprints for all the improved farm tools, and then discussed with the craftsmen to modify them one by one. Negotiating with artisans and old farmers for this edition is the best that can be achieved with the level of technology here.

Because no one knows these improved farm tools better than Jing Zhaoqiu.

Once Jing Zhaoqiu was immersed in his speech, he would be extremely confident, and his body exuded a brilliance that he couldn't see normally.Seeing Jing Zhaoqiu like this, Yi Zhiyu knew that his decision was right.

Maybe he still had the idea of ​​doing everything well at the beginning, but when he saw that Jing Zhaoqiu became the focus of the audience because of the potato and was even awarded an official because of it, Yi Zhiyu changed his initial thoughts and decisions.

It's not a complete change, just a small fix.

Perhaps at the beginning, his purpose was to win the emperor's satisfaction and ask the emperor to give him a marriage, so that no one would criticize the marriage bestowed by the emperor's golden words.But before a stick of incense, Yi Zhiyu changed his mind.

Jing Zhaoqiu was given official status.

With his current position, he is just a merchant, while Jing Zhaoqiu is already a third-rank official, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is the one who outranks Jing Zhaoqiu.Yi Zhiyu didn't mind, he even thought of something better.If the identities were reversed and Zhaoqiu was more honored to him, then it would not be Jing Zhaoqiu who met Youyou in the world - but him.

It's probably what he, the merchant, Gao Pan meant.Not only will Ke Yi Zhiyu not be angry, but he will be happy instead.

Even if the world criticizes and accuses him, so what.He, Yi Zhiyu, was not the kind of person who would be afraid of all the words that could make money. To him, the tongues of those common people were nothing more than drizzle and floating windows.But Jing Zhaoqiu is different.

Because he wanted Jing Zhaoqiu to take all the credit for this achievement, the more honor the better, Yi Zhiyu didn't mind being a "little boy who eats soft food".

At this time, the development was also moving in the direction Yi Zhiyu wanted. The emperor praised all of these things, and he said seven or eight good words, which showed the emperor's satisfaction.

Yi Zhiyu was also very satisfied with this development.

When it came to the last point, the emperor still boasted a good word, but this time he propped up his waist and showed a little strangeness in his eyes.

"From plowing to threshing, there are almost everything, but I seem to be missing something." The emperor counted them one by one, and after a while he suddenly realized, "Jing Aiqing, the only thing missing is irrigation tools. Why is that?"

The Chen Dynasty is still using the overturned cart, using the horizontal axis to guide the stream water into the field with the help of manpower or ox power.Although it has been modified so delicately during several reforms that even a six-year-old child can easily step on it, there are still some shortcomings.

Jing Zhaoqiu said: "I would like to report to the emperor, this thing exists, but because it is too big and needs to be activated in the field to see its true appearance and effectiveness, so I did not take it out. But I have installed it in the Yijiazhuangzi to test it. After a few fights, it's doing very well."

"Oh, that's true?" The emperor became more and more curious.

Jing Zhaoqiu took out a piece of white paper with drawings from his bosom, handed it to the emperor, and said that it was a blueprint of irrigation tools, and asked the emperor to have a look.The emperor shook his head to look at it, and his eyes straightened after he understood it.

As shown in the picture, the diversion of water will not require any effort from humans or animals, and it will be able to operate by itself.He immediately asked, "Where is the thing on the picture, show me quickly. Jing Aiqing, I am so lucky to have you!"

Finally, the emperor repeated the words.

Jing Zhaoqiu hooked Yi Zhiyu's fingers, thinking that the emperor was too exaggerated!

The emperor was indeed exaggerating, there was no way, he was so excited that even the rest of the merchants stopped watching, and only let Concubine Yi be the host, but he brought his guards and insisted that Jing Zhaoqiu and Yi Zhiyu take them to the scene to watch directly.

The emperor acted resolutely, and did what he said, without procrastinating, and arrived at Yi's farm on the spot.
