Since the special white rice has attracted widespread attention, Lin Zhu knows that this kind of thing can't just be held in his own hands, after all, the yield of special white rice is high and the taste is good.

Moreover, grain is the foundation of the country, in this era when the yield per mu is generally very low, but the special white rice can produce seven or eight hundred catties of grain per mu, how can the people in power let it go?

Therefore, since the transaction with the Muyue Trading House, Lin Zhu gradually shifted his focus to winemaking and breeding. The special rice seeds are handed over to the Kizuki Trading House for planting as much as possible.

This kind of letting go is appreciated very much by General Chang. This is a lot of wealth, how can ordinary people give it up so easily.

However, judging from the past two years, Lin Zhu's approach is really correct, and the money he makes from brewing has been a lot, and now there are many cattle raised in the pasture, and the number is still increasing.

"Bamboo girl, the grass in your pasture is really good." General Chang called Lin Zhu to the study. "There are a few more foals on the new racecourse, which is very good."

Although General Chang was not in the court, he was not uneventful. As a veteran of the battlefield, he naturally knows the role of horses in battle, and after seeing the grass in the forest and bamboo pasture, General Chang saw that the horses he fed were also fat and strong, and they were a lot taller in weight and physical fitness.

For a long time, the horses of the Shengyuan Dynasty were weaker than those horses on the grasslands outside the Northwest Territory, so when defending against foreign enemies, there were always some losses here, and the annual cost of buying horses also accounted for a large amount of military spending.

Therefore, General Chang reported to the emperor for constipation. I am going to use the pasture grass in the forest and bamboo pastures to try to raise a group of military horses.

For this proposal, the emperor also readily agreed, after all, the horses of Mu Qiyue and others had already been tested first.

After more than a year of attempts, General Chang's new horse farm has now achieved quite a lot of results, compared with some old horse farms in the capital, or horses in private horse farms.

The emperor was happy, and also let the garrison there open up a large pasture. Not only for existing horses. They are also encouraged to breed more new horses.

"The emperor has decided to give you some rewards, what do you want?" General Chang was in a very good mood. He has fought for the country all his life, and there is nothing more pleasing to him than to see the military strengthened.

"It's all thanks to Grandpa. If it weren't for the fact that grandpa was experienced. No matter how good the grass is, it can't raise a good horse. Lin Zhu was telling the truth. Raising horses, especially for the war army, is not simply a matter of feeding them well. It is more important to improve their physical fitness, which requires all kinds of training. After all, no matter how good a horse is, as soon as it enters the battlefield, it is afraid of people or weapons rushing up, but it will not work.

"You don't have to shirk it first," General Chang said that she didn't want to be too eye-catching, if the world knew that the grass in the forest and bamboo pasture had this effect, it would definitely attract more people to covet it. "I used to see that you would keep a record of each cow, and at the time I thought it was redundant, but now it seems that this method is really good."

In the new horse farm, all the horses are also arranged in this way, the effect is very obvious, the best of the best, through the observation and recording of these horses, some of the better stallions have been selected, and the newly bred foals let experienced horse breeders know at a glance that they will definitely be good horses when they grow up in the future.

This is the result of unintentional insertion, the interests are all the state, or the emperor, Lin Zhu doesn't want to be contaminated with the slightest bit on this, so he instinctively wants to refuse this reward.

Her 'timidity' and prudence, how can General Chang not know the way. However, since it can't be famous, it's better to collect a little bit of this profit, and it can also reassure the emperor.

"Hehe, the old general really recognized a good granddaughter." Hearing General Chang talk about Lin Zhu putting all the credit on General Chang and the new racecourse, the emperor also smiled meaningfully.

"The old minister also entrusted the emperor's fortune to get to where he is today. Otherwise, it's just a useless little old man. "Although in terms of generation, General Chang is a generation higher than the emperor, but General Chang still treats him with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

"Concubine Lan seems to have only met this niece once, how about taking this opportunity to let her accompany Concubine Lan for a few days?" Although the emperor is a question, he has obviously made a decision.

"The old minister obeys." General Chang vaguely guessed that the emperor had no malicious intent. In addition, being summoned into the palace by the emperor himself, although in the name of accompanying Concubine Lan, it will bring unexpected benefits to Lin Zhu, and his identity will rise.

After all, there are not many companions in the palace, but they are more honorable.

So Lin Zhu entered the palace to accompany Concubine Lan in the envy of many noble ladies.

To be honest, Lin Zhu is not interested in this so-called favor at all, in the emperor's harem, the most are women, and the women here are models of intrigue, plus the most rules and etiquette, who knows which sentence is whose minefield, if you accidentally say the wrong thing, it will be bad if you offend people.

After being reprimanded a few words, in case any noble person is angry and gives himself a board or opens his mouth and says, 'Come on, pull her out of the palace and cut her down.' Lin Zhu felt that he had no place to cry.

For Lin Zhu's trembling thoughts, General Chang and the others felt funny, and actually regarded the palace as a flood beast. Not to mention that she was personally invited by the emperor, just looking at Concubine Lan's status in the palace, no one will treat her easily.

It's embarrassing for her to just don't give the emperor a son, those concubines will do this when they are stupid, which will cause the emperor to be disgusted, and it will not do them any good.

General Chang also specially arranged for Aunt Chang to follow her, and she had something to mention on the side. Let Lin Zhu feel at ease.

It's just that Fu Dou'er was a little reluctant to Lin Zhu's departure, and grabbed her hand for a while.

When I arrived in the palace and saw Concubine Lan, she was the same as the first time she saw her two or three years ago, she was still so graceful, with a good face and delicate skin, not at all like a woman in her thirties, compared with her actual age, she was at least eight years old.

"Meet Concubine Lan." Lin Zhu's regular salutes and gestures are all done in accordance with the palace etiquette taught by Aunt Chang.

"Get up." Concubine Lan looked at Lin Zhu with satisfaction, "Well, I haven't seen you for two years, and I've become a big girl." "Lin Zhu is not a member of the Chang family, so Concubine Lan has always been a little unfamiliar with her, but as the emperor mentions Lin Zhu's name in front of her more and more times, and her father General Chang will also praise Lin Zhu's well-behaved and polite manners, Concubine Lan's impression of her is getting better and better.

"Thank you Concubine Lan for the compliment." Lin Zhu lowered his head slightly, looking gentle and humble.

Concubine Lan also knew that she was a little restrained, so she asked her about her life as gently as possible. also told Lin Zhu the main purpose of summoning her into the palace this time.

"The emperor is sympathetic to your young age and should not be too public, so take this opportunity to compensate you for some rewards."

Lin Zhu was taken aback, what a jealous reward this must be, and he didn't push it away in the end.

"Don't worry, those things won't be known to others." Concubine Lan Niangniang has also been in contact with many young ladies, and none of them are as jealous of these heavenly rewards as Lin Zhu. is cautious and not like a little girl, and it is this kind of low-key and unassuming that makes her get the emperor's blue eyes so quickly.

Lin Zhu thanked Concubine Lan again.

"Hehe, you're too bold." Concubine Lan smiled softly. With herself and the Chang family to protect her, those people outside didn't dare to do anything to her, and besides, I also heard that her relationship with the Zhang family and the Du family was not bad. Relying on so much, if others don't say that they are arrogant, they will be overjoyed.

"The people's daughter is lucky to have won the love of the general's grandfather, so naturally she should cherish her blessings, otherwise if she causes trouble to the general's mansion, she will be ashamed to treat the people's daughter to her grandfather." Although Lin Zhu's words were a bit suspicious, it was obvious that Concubine Lan was very satisfied with it.

After talking to Lin Zhu for a while, Concubine Lan was also a little tired, so she sent someone to send her to the house where she could rest temporarily.

"Whew." Lin Zhu exhaled softly, and only then did his heart relax slightly. This is still in Concubine Lan's mother, so you have to be so careful, if you change to another concubine, you will probably die a lot of brain cells.

"Actually, girls don't have to be like that." Aunt Chang saw that Lin Zhu was so tired and persuaded her. "The girl and Concubine Lan are now a family, and with your current status, both the general and Concubine Lan will care about you very much."

What Aunt Chang said is not unreasonable, now that the interests of the General's Mansion and Lin Zhu are tied together, the better the General's Mansion, the more stable Concubine Lan's position in the palace will be, and then she will be more protected, but it is too realistic to say this and ignores the truth.

The relationship is slowly deepened over time, from the politeness at the beginning, to now Lin Zhu has a sense of identity with the Chang family.

When I arrived in the palace, I naturally wanted to visit the master of the harem. Under the leadership of Concubine Lan, Lin Zhu followed closely to the Kunning Palace where the queen was located.

Kneeling on the ground to salute the queen, after all, the clothes are not very thick, and the knee touching the cold floor is not only uncomfortable, but the knee is also a little painful after a long time.

And the queen sitting on the top only cared about talking some senseless nonsense with Concubine Lan, and deliberately forgot about Lin Zhu.

"Yo, look at my memory, just talking to Sister Lan, I forgot that your little niece is still polite, and you too, why don't you remind the palace." The queen blamed the palace maids beside her.

"It's the negligence of the slave maid, and I ask Concubine Lan to forgive me." The palace maid immediately pleaded guilty to Concubine Lan, and the panic on her face showed three points.

Concubine Lan knew that this was the queen's deliberate doing, but it was not good to attack in person, and said lightly, "This girl was stunned by the queen's mother's power in the world when she entered the palace for the first time, where could it be someone else's fault?" Concubine Lan's eyes didn't move, but she didn't let Lin Zhu suffer in vain.

Lin Zhu's sudden arrival, in the eyes of the concubines, was nothing more than because Concubine Lan was favored by the emperor, and she couldn't do anything to her, so she could only take Lin Zhu out of anger.

An hour later, the backstage finally went in (to be continued......
