Chapter 73: The Old Man in the Palace of Purity

Most of the people in Xinzhuangzi were brought by Fang Xing, and those who remained were honest and responsible farmers.

Under Fang Xing's urging, the farmers' first thing to do was to grow pepper seedlings and plant them quickly.

"Be careful, this thing is an opportunity for us to make money."

Fang Xing stood in the field and said.

Fang Jielun nodded and agreed: "Young master, when the news spreads that the royal family has started to plant peppers on a large scale, our seeds will be worth a lot."

Daming actually needs chili very much.

In the north of Ming Dynasty, peppers are needed to keep out the cold. And in the south of Ming Dynasty, the climate is hot and humid, so chili is needed to remove dampness.

Fang Xing looked at the busy households, and said smugly, "We want all the people of Daming to eat chili, and they all like to eat chili."

But what makes Fang Xing a little melancholy is that this business will only take a few years. After the pepper planting spreads out, the Fang family's seeds will no longer be in short supply.

But looking at the busy farmers in the field, Fang Xing felt relieved when he thought that this place would be a lush green rice field in the future.

"Uncle Jaylen, do you believe it? I can make everyone live a good life."

Fang Jielun remembered what happened to his young master after he woke up, and couldn't help nodding his head: "I believe it. Master, this old slave is still waiting for the young master to be born, and guarding him to grow up safely!"

Fang Xing was a little embarrassed, and the butler secretly expressed a suggestion to himself: Young master, you should hurry up and have a baby, everyone is looking forward to it!

Back in the backyard, Fang Xing was a little worried when he saw Zhang Shuhui was keeping accounts. He was worried that there was something wrong with him. Otherwise, he had been married for half a year, but why is his wife's belly still so flat?

But this matter can't be rushed, anyway, the couple are still young.

Zhang Shuhui raised her head and asked a little strangely, "Husband, are you alright?"

Does this dislike me for being idle?

Fang Xing coughed dryly, "Well, I just came back to see you."

Well, the scumbag's love story worked.

A rosy glow floated on Zhang Shuhui's face,

She lowered her eyes and said: "Husband, classes are about to start, I will order the kitchen to cook later."

This is the wife encouraging her husband to make progress. If it is changed in the future, the cliff can be told as an inspirational story in those programs.

Fang Xing walked out of the backyard resentfully, only to see Xiao Bai playing around with a black puppy in his arms.

"Where did it come from?"

The puppy is very cute, it looked up at Fang Xing, whimpered, and hid in Xiao Bai's arms.

Xiao Bai raised his head and gave Fang Xing an angry look, and said happily: "This is sent by Zhang Taishun. It is said that it is a puppy from the west of Sichuan. It doesn't need to be fed, and it can go out to look for food by itself!"

Fang Xing patted his head and blurted out, "This is a mountain dog, it's a waste to put it in our house."

The mountain dog comes from the western Sichuan area. Under such difficult conditions, the owner usually does not feed them, but only breeds them.

This dog is protective of the home and has excellent tracking and hunting abilities.

Probably because he thought that Fang Xing could decide his own destiny, so the puppy pitifully stuck out its pink tongue at Fang Xing.

"Just call it..."

"Master, I already called it the bell."

Seeing that Fang Xing was about to name it, Xiao Bai hurriedly grabbed the right.

"Bell?"

This name is really old-fashioned, but Fang Xing just smiled and touched the top of Bell's head, and amidst its comfortable murmur, turned and left.

"Remember not to close it."

The fate of the mountain dog should not be to die in the house, but to roar in the mountains and forests.

Ever since he moved to Jinling, Zhu Zhanji hadn't come out for morning exercises, because there were too many eyes here, if they were discovered, he and Fang Xing would probably be in trouble.

Today's lesson is very simple, mainly about the great significance of seeds to a country.

"... Seeds, especially the cultivation of seeds, is the most important thing for me, Ming, but what I have seen so far is only spontaneous cultivation among the people, which is very bad!"

The early spring sunshine came in through the window, Fang Xing looked at the two students sitting below, his mind was in a trance for a moment.

"Brother Dehua, according to your opinion, the cultivation of seeds should be taken over by the imperial court, right?"

After Zhu Zhanji finished recording, he raised his hand to ask questions.

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Yes, the resources of the people are weak after all. If a special government office is in charge, through various channels, such as the fleet of sailing to the west. After obtaining new varieties, organize human resources to tackle key problems and cultivate them. Let's put it this way."

Fang Xing moved his index finger: "Taishun, it's easier for you to search for information. You can look for it when you get back, and see the grain yield per mu in the Central Plains since it was recorded, and the evolution process of grain species. Find Let’s talk to Masu.”

Zhu Di happened to have few government affairs today, so he wanted to invite the emperor's grandson to take an examination of the school.

In the spacious palace, there were four large braziers in the corners, and the charcoal inside was burning without smoke, warming the entire palace.

A eunuch who was looking for Zhu Zhanji came in with his head bowed, "Your Majesty, Your Highness Taisun...His Highness Taisun is in the Imperial College."

The old man on the throne raised his head, a smile appeared on his cold face.

"What does the grandson do in the Imperial College? Is it to ask for advice?"

The emperor's words were very gentle, but fine sweat broke out on the eunuch's forehead.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Grandson went to the household department again, and it is said that he is looking for some information."

Zhu Di was startled, then got up and walked down the steps.

It's warm inside the door, but it's a bit cold outside.

As Zhu Di moved his legs, he felt some soreness in his knee joints, which was the sequelae of years of garrisoning the border and going deep into the grassland.

At this time Huang Yan, the chief eunuch of the chief inspector of ceremonies, came over, glanced at the young eunuch with narrow eyes, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness Taisun spends time in the Zhuangzi at the foot of Yuanbao Mountain every morning. It is said that Zhuangzi has been sent by His Highness. To a Juren from Peking, this old slave had to..."

The little eunuch trembled slightly under Huang Yan's gaze.

Zhu Di didn't seem to hear Huang Yan's words. He stood on a high place and looked at Zhu Zhanji who was gradually approaching. The beard on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang!"

Seeing Zhu Di outside the door, Zhu Zhanji ran over in a hurry, and smiled pantingly, "Grandpa Emperor, I found a good thing today."

Under Huang Yan's peeping eyes, Zhu Di patted Zhu Zhanji's shoulder and said with a big smile, "You idiot, hurry up and tell me."

Zhuzi, here, is just like folk parents laughing and scolding their children, listening as a 'boy'.

Zhu Zhanji pretended not to see Huang Yan, he helped Zhu Di go in, and after he sat down, he said happily:

"Grandfather, this morning Fang Dehua taught me to find out the grain production of past dynasties. Do you know what I found?"

Fang Dehua!

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, "Hurry up and let me see what you have learned from him. If you can't satisfy me, you can stay by my side recently."

Zhu Di doesn't like to call himself "Zhen", so I and Zhen's self-proclaimed words are mixed in the words.

Zhu Zhanji also pulled a piece of rice paper from the imperial case with a smile, and then wrote on the paper with the brush that Zhu Di used to correct the memorial. , ++ This site has created a free, error-free and ad-free app that is online!
