"I asked him last time, and he said that Lord Liang was strict and didn't let him go out, for fear that he would cause trouble and affect Lord Liang's official reputation." He Zhiyuan answered.

"This is also true, Lord Liang is now bent on climbing up, and he cares a lot about his official reputation." Zhou Fuliu nodded and said, and then said to Liang Yuesong: "But I don't think he looks like a troublemaker." ”

"I think it's more like an excuse for him." He Zhiyuan said.

Zhou Fuliu said helplessly. "There were a lot of things a year ago, and I will talk to him after the New Year and listen to his plans for the future."

"I have an idea, doesn't he like to eat? In his previous life, he liked to cook and had good cooking skills. The food of this era is really average, and it would be nice if he showed a little bit in this regard. ”

"Ahh You're not going to make him a chef, are you? "He's a celebrity now, how can he do this.

"Every day" is also "able to eat?" He Zhiyuan said with some disdain.

Zhou Fuliu sarcastically replied: "It's right for you to say it, people in this era can really be eaten, don't you also plan to take the imperial examination?" ”

There is nothing wrong with saying this, he really has to be on the top of the imperial examination, Zhou Fuliu said this, He Zhiyuan was choked and speechless.

In order to ease the atmosphere, He Zhiyuan explained: "I didn't let him become a chef, I asked him to teach these skills of his, and use his cooking skills to invest in several restaurants, firstly, to earn silver, and secondly, to make some contributions to this era." ”

"It's okay to say that" Zhou Fuliu's face looked much better, and after thinking about it, he said: "I'll find a chance to talk to him after the New Year." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Jihai knocked on the door with the exam paper in his hand, and He Zhiyuan asked, "It's done so quickly?" ”

Yan Jihai said honestly: "There are two questions that can't be done, and the others are done." ”

He Zhiyuan took the exam paper and read it again, except for the two questions that he couldn't know, the others were all right. He Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, if you sign up for this grade, you will definitely be admitted." Don't you regret not signing up? ”

Yan Jihai shook his head and said: "I don't regret it, there is no major in the vocational and technical college that I am interested in, so I still follow the master to learn." ”

He Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, this apprentice finally had some conscience, and he didn't say anything about breeding.

Yan Jihai saw that the prospective master was here, so he said with interest: "Master, I'm going to sort out the draft." After saying hello, he said hello to Zhou Fuliu and walked out of the room to sort out the draft.

Zhou Fuliu looked at Yan Jihai who was leaving, and said to He Zhiyuan with a smile: "This apprentice is much more clever than the original Wang Zhixue. ”

"That is, Wang Zhixue is stupid and doesn't know much about human feelings. If this were the king's study, he might still be stupid enough to stay here and not leave. After He Zhiyuan said this, he paused again and said: "This Yan Jihai is much smarter, knowing that the master is here, and he will do something for the teacher that he will not let him see, so he left immediately." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, put his hand on her fragrant shoulder, and began to grope for it.

Zhou Fuliu grabbed his hand to stop him from moving, and then said, "Don't come nonsense, there is still something to say." ”

"What's the matter?" He Zhiyuan stopped the movement in his hand and asked.

"I heard my brother say that Liang Wensheng has asked Xie Ge Laona

What does it mean to be close to the edge? Zhou Fuliu asked.

He Zhiyuan nodded and said: "It can be said that an official like Liang Wensheng who is from a good background, there is no teacher in the capital to support him and guide him, so it is indeed difficult to be an official." ”

Zhou Fuliu said: "But I heard from my brother that Elder Xie Ge asked my brother to secretly investigate this matter. He also said that he would not investigate the case of Yu Zhixian, but only said that he would be interrogated by the Criminal Department at that time, and he only needed to get evidence of the Lu family's smuggling and evidence of Yue Bingqian's corruption to arrest him. ”

He Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Since Elder Xie Ge instructed not to investigate the case of Yu Zhixian, it means that the cabinet has found that there is a problem with the case of Yu Zhixian. It is also emphasized that the criminal department will interrogate at that time, which means that it is not that the case will not be investigated, but that the case will be investigated in secret. This may be what the emperor meant, after all, this case is very important, and it is a Qin case that the emperor ordered to investigate thoroughly, so it is more necessary to be cautious, and the fewer people who know, the better. ”

"You mean that the case of Yu Zhixian will still be investigated?" Zhou Fuliu asked. In his previous life, Zhou Fuliu was a professor of economics and trade at a university, so he was not very ambitious about these deceitful things in the officialdom.

He Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I think so, we might as well wait and see what happens." When the matter is clear, I will help Youlan overturn the case for her father. ”

Zhou Fuliu nodded, and sighed helplessly: "It's okay, I'm really pitiful for Youlan, just because of an unjust case, several families were shattered." Even if it is found out, it can no longer be recovered. ”

He Zhiyuan also sighed: "Yes, the officials who investigated this case at that time may not have known that this was an unjust case. In their eyes, such a petty official is nothing, if he dies, he dies, and if he is wronged, he is wronged. So now I am not only looking for ways to make money and accumulate wealth, but also have soldiers in my hands. When in danger, it is not enough to have wealth, you must always hold the barrel of the gun. Only then can I protect myself and my family. ”

As he spoke, he hugged Zhou Fuliu, who was standing opposite, into his arms......

After a long time, Zhou Fuliu raised his head from He Zhiyuan's arms and asked, "Now Lord Liang has begun to rely on the court in the court." Have you ever thought about who you will find as a backer after you enter Beijing? ”

He Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't look for anyone, I only rely on myself." ”

"How can that work?" Zhou Fuliu hurriedly said: "You are a junior official who has just entered the sergeant, if you don't find a backer, if you are an official, you don't know the sinister ...... officialdom."

He Zhiyuan said: "Emperor Hongzhi still has five years to go, and the next thing is Emperor Zhengde's accession to the throne, you should know this history." As the saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, and soon after Zhengde succeeds to the throne, these ministers in the current court will leave. At that time, I didn't rely on anyone, as long as I kept strengthening my influence, others couldn't touch me. ”

Zhou Fuliu nodded and said, "I understand." ”

He Zhiyuan continued: "But now we should also make some preparations, next year we will do business in Beijing and Nanjing, and buy a few shops and fields there." ”

"I also have this idea, the south is full of silk, cotton cloth, tea, etc., and I plan to go to Nanjing to do some business in this area." Zhou Fuliu said.

"Yes, while your brother is in Yangzhou, you will go to the south next year to develop, you are better than me in terms of business, you can do more in this regard." Overseas trade is a matter of time, and now is the time to make more preparations. ”

Zhou Fuliu asked: "Then who will take care of the vocational and technical college?" ”

"Let's look for a candidate when the time comes. appear

I haven't skimmed it yet. ”

After that, they discussed some specific details. It wasn't until after dark that Zhou Fuliu left.

After breakfast the next day, He Zhiyuan and Yan Jihai continued to write botany in the room. Now that most of this textbook has been compiled, Yan Jihai has been sorted out several times, and he is already very familiar with the content in it. Even some of the illustrations were drawn by him, although not as fine as Zhou Fuliu's paintings, but the general shape was also almost the same.

When they were busy, Chen and Yueji walked in with a blue zi, and as soon as they entered the door, Chen said happily: "Zhiyuan, this is sent by a few people from the experimental field, there are cucumbers, eggplants, artisan vegetables, spinach, all fresh." There are also watermelons, melons, and melons over there. I didn't expect this glass to have such a wonderful place, and I will be able to eat vegetables in winter in the future. ”

"They sent it?" He Zhiyuan asked.

"It's all of them, and there's more out there." Chen said happily.

Yueji said to Chen at this time: "Madam, those old farmers are still sitting in the living room, and they said that they want to ask the young master for questions. ”

Yue Ji reminded Chen Shi of this, and hurriedly said to He Zhiyuan: "A few of them said that they were looking for you to ask questions, but I forgot about it when I was happy." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the blue zi, and said before leaving: "I'll eat at home at noon, and I'll fry fresh vegetables for you to eat." ”

He Zhiyuan and Yan Jihai sorted out the messy manuscript and followed.

When the two came to the living room, they saw several plainly dressed old farmers standing in the middle of the living room, they saw He Zhiyuan coming in, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Greetings to He Gongzi!" ”

He Zhiyuan hurriedly walked forward, picked up the old farmer he knew and said, "Don't be so polite, uncle, let's get up." ”

Then he beckoned them to take their seats, and ordered their servants to serve tea. Then he asked them, "The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing well, thank you for sending so many vegetables!" ”

"Thank you Gongzi He, it's all thanks to Gongzi." As soon as they sat down, they immediately stood up and replied.

He Zhiyuan motioned for them to sit down and talk, he saw that these people were very restrained, far from being as comfortable as in the greenhouse, and thought that maybe they came to such a luxurious mansion, which caused a kind of coercion and nervousness. So I chatted with them a few words of homely conversation.

When several old farmers saw that He Zhiyuan was approachable, no different from in the experimental field, they relaxed their mood. At this time, Father Xue spoke: "Gongzi He, we are here to disturb this time to ask questions. ”

He Zhiyuan said kindly: "Uncle, please speak." ”

Father Xue opened his mouth and asked: "We don't understand the problem of wheat and rice breeding, and I would like to ask Gongzi for some advice." ”

He really didn't know how to answer this question, and he was not interested in this question at all in his previous life. Although he had lived in the countryside for nearly 20 years and had worked in the fields, he had no contact with the problem of breeding. After thinking for a while, he replied vaguely: "I can't give you a specific method in terms of breeding, I can only give you a specific direction." Wheat and rice are monoecious, and they are also dioecious, they are self-pollinating, and if two well-growing individuals can be cross-pollinated and cross-pollinated, they will inevitably breed excellent species. As for how to do it, it's up to you to figure it out. ”
