For the lunch of the Xiao family, most of the prisoners of Jiuzhangtang, except for those who came from the official eunuch's house and the well-off court, were full of oil, if it weren't for Lu Sanlang and Ji Jiu beside them to set an example for the seniors and the fasting chief, eating modestly and reservedly, I was afraid that those students who had not tasted meat for a long time would be able to eat hiccup.

Of course, the existence of the three princes is also the reason why everyone does not dare to let go of eating.

After all, under the circumstance that Lu Sanlang had already exclusively contracted to print the series of books Ge Yong-Zhang Shou, talented poor students could read books in the bookstore and even copy books and then go back to study, so they could be admitted to Jiuzhangtang, so their number was far more than that of well-off and wealthy children who were even quietly studying the scriptures, but planned to make gains in the imperial examination, and did not want to take the Jiuzhangtang examination.

As for the top rich and noble families, the three princes, Lu Saburo and Ji Jiulang are the only three remaining representatives.

One is the third prince who has status, wealth and leisure, and doesn't care about the future - he has always been very well protected by the emperor, and he didn't think about the future status when he was young, and whether it was in the Banshan Hall or the Jiuzhang Hall, Zhang Shou was strictly guarded, and Ji Jiu was also ordered to keep an eye on it from the side not to let people "pollute", but it was not so much that he really liked arithmetic, but it was better to say that he admired Zhang Shou, a special teacher.

The other is Lu Sanlang, who has not been treated by his father since he was a child, but he really likes to do the scriptures, and he is also very talented in business, and now even the emperor has praised Lu Sanlang as a prodigal son and turned into a genius. And the last Ji Jiu, that is not valued at home, although he has talent, he is not top-notch, and he is completely aimed at the attention of Jiuzhangtang, Zhang Shou, the hot teacher and the future prospects.

The situation of the three of them is still like this, so among the new first-year inmates of Jiuzhangtang, there are only a few students from well-off families, who are often not the eldest sons and grandchildren who need to inherit the family business in the family.

After being full of tea and food at noon, and thanking a certain Lu cuisine chef for his exquisite skills, when he returned to Jiuzhangtang in the afternoon, he saw that Zhu Tingfang stayed in the Xiao family, Zhang Chen, Zhu Er, Zhang Wu, and Zhang Lu came back with them, and they also occupied the last row, with a posture of skipping class, they couldn't help but be with other classmates, and they gathered in groups of three or five and muttered quietly.

Although the first grade of Jiuzhangtang has only been in class for a few days, because they have quickly skipped the parts they have already mastered according to the textbook, and now they have reached the stage where plane geometry is becoming more and more difficult, in their opinion, Zhang Chen can understand them?

On the empty seats in the last row, Zhang Chen heard the discussion floating in front of him, and immediately hated it.

Seeing Zhu Er's cheeky face on the side, he couldn't help but snort, and then hooked his hands to Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu on the side: "Remember to listen attentively for a while." Don't forget that you're the ones who run a business out there, don't be beaten by a bunch of students. ”

Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu ran outside, and at this time they also felt very confident, and immediately nodded in unison. However, when Zhang Shou really started the class, they really listened attentively at first, relying on the little accumulation they had in the Mid-Levels Hall, and finally maintained the stage where they seemed to understand whether they understood or not, at least knowing what they were talking about.

But when Zhang Shou started to teach as if he was in a hurry, and only spoke once, as long as there was no objection to the next and continued, they began to sit on wax.

When Zhang Shou began to talk about geometry, their eyes gradually straightened, and in the end, they only felt that their ears were buzzing with sounds, and there were all kinds of shapes in front of them, but their brains were a mess, and they wanted to die!

They came to class, it was to prevent Zhang Shou from prevaricating them and asking what the so-called plan was, but now, there are a total of four people in one, two, three, four, Zhu Er directly lying on the table, Zhang Chen is wandering outside the world, Zhang Wu is writing and drawing, but on that piece of paper is simply an ink group, Zhang Lu ...... Zhang Lu, who is slick and sophisticated, is deeply reflecting on his life over the years at this time.

Because Zhang Lu has been so permeated by the magic voice that he doubts his life.

Zhang Chen once went to preside over the decryption of the text password lock on behalf of Lu Sanlang, and he was a person who was relatively familiar with the Jiuzhangtang class, but now these still gave him a lot of impact. He wanted to sleep or not, he wanted to be in a daze, but in fact, his brain couldn't be empty, so it was easy to struggle until the end of an afternoon of class, and when Zhang Shou came, he was the only one who stood up to greet him as if nothing happened.

Zhang Shou glanced at the Zhang brothers, who were obviously worse than Zhang Chen, and his future second brother, seeing that they were paralyzed and motionless there, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and directly motioned Zhang Chen to follow him out. After a long time, he didn't come back, but Zhang Chen turned back vividly, and then slapped Zhu Er, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu on the back of the head.

"It's not promising, and I'm not afraid to let the juniors see the joke!" Zhang Chen naturally looked down on the juniors who had just entered the Jiuzhang Hall of Guozijian with the number of years he had studied in Guozijian, including Ji Jiu. Seeing that Zhu Er finally came back to his senses a little, he glared at him with some resentment, he lost a look, and then stepped forward and dragged Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu away.

"I brought such magical colored cotton seeds back to see the emperor from afar, where is there time to waste? Let's go back and discuss. As for this guy who was still shouting at Zhu Gong for being a good farmer just now, but now he is listless, don't pay attention to him! ”

Only then did Zhu Er suddenly come back to his senses and jumped up, and shouted: "If you dare to leave me, I am not finished with you!" Everyone shares the profits of good things, besides, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, don't have no conscience, the donation of the public school in the outer city, Zhang Chen and I will add five, and we will each recognize a copy for you, you have to return the money to me, otherwise I will go to your house every day to eat! ”

Seeing these four people leaving noisily, Ji Jiu couldn't help but be a little envious. Don't look at him now, he is also a fasting chief, but in the end he can't match these four people, some of them have a natural uncle relationship with Zhang Shou, but some of them have known Zhang Shou since Rongshui Village, and they have also experienced life and death.

But the next moment, he felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and when he saw that it was the third prince, he hurriedly pressed the emotion in his heart.

"Chief Ji Zhai, do you know what the magical colored cotton seeds Zhang Chen said just now?"

After the third prince asked, seeing that Ji Jiu was immediately a little stunned, he said embarrassedly: "After all, the teacher told my father before that in fact, cotton, a crop, has changed a lot since it was introduced to our country. If the previous ones brought back from overseas are successful, the yield will increase significantly. But isn't cotton white? ”

Speaking of this, seeing that the rest of the prisoners were all staring at him, according to his previous character, he had already shut up timidly at this time, but at this time, he didn't know where the impulse came from, so he seriously continued to explain.

"There was no cotton in the Han Dynasty, although the Tang and Song dynasties introduced cotton from foreign countries, but the output could not go up until the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Daopo brought back the best textile technology from Qiongzhou, and Jiangnan only reached the developed ...... of cotton spinning from silk weaving."

The third prince tried to retell the history that the emperor told him, and seeing that most of the people listened carefully, he didn't think at all whether he was in awe of his identity, or the so-called father's words, or whether he was really interested in cotton, the best cash crop...... Anyway, he's doing his best to tell everyone that cotton seeds are important.

When Zhang Shouzhong, who had returned to the doctor's hall after explaining to Zhang Chen, returned to Jiuzhangtang again, what he saw was the scene of the three princes gathering to talk about cotton. He could clearly feel that the child, who was once shy and a little timid in everything, was now positive and cheerful.

Not only that, but at this time, the three princes' cotton theory really fell into his arms.

Therefore, when the three princes finally came to an end, he suddenly stroked his palms and praised: "The three princes are right, they have enough food and clothing and then know honor and disgrace, if they want the common people to be rich, then they must follow the ancestral teachings of Emperor Taizu, a variety of cotton." However, since land is limited, if you want to have enough cotton cloth to make clothes for people all over the world, it is important to improve the varieties and increase the yield. ”

He just paused for a moment, and said casually: "Speaking of which, this time, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu brought back some very special colored cotton seeds from Xingtai, and it is said that the cotton they collected is brown. ”

"I've also heard from them that in the past, there were even folk farmers who grew green cotton. It's a natural green color that doesn't fade easily...... It's just that the peasants were ignorant, thinking it was a sign from heaven, and later abandoned the cotton field......"

Anyway, this is nonsense and there is no proof of it, Zhang Shou said it carefully, but in the end he sighed: "But hearsay, it is not good to say what it is." However, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu collected the seeds in order to pay tribute to the emperor, but this time they saw it with their own eyes, and even brought back all the brown cotton harvested in that cotton field. ”

With the three princes and Zhang Shou talking two times successively, when they saw the third prince rushing up and holding Zhang Shou's hand and asking questions, those who were not interested in the rest but pretended to be interested, at this time, they were naturally squeezed behind by people like Ji Jiu who were enthusiastic about fame and fortune, but if they wanted to retreat and leave, it was not enough, most people were willing to pretend.

It's just that even though there are poor students among the people, they really plough and study by themselves, or they have planted cotton...... It's a pity that there isn't one! Therefore, no one noticed anything wrong with what Zhang Shou said.

So, when Zhang Shou told about the experiences of having been in Rongshui Village, except for Ji Jiu, who had already been dragged by Zhang Shou to participate in the autumn harvest, and the third prince, who had ridden a cow with the four princes, most of the others showed incredible expressions.

Although Zhang Shou comes from the countryside and comes from a humble background, this matter has long been spread outside, but there are also people who are really born in the countryside, and they all know how precious a real scholar is in the countryside.

And Zhang Shou knew what kind of misunderstanding others would have, but he was happy that others had such misunderstandings, so instead of stopping everyone from thinking about it, he also laughed and talked about planting rice and raising fish...... It wasn't until he saw the third prince who listened with relish looking at him that he seemed to suddenly remember, and reached out and touched the head of the third prince as always.

"When it comes to rising, we forget about time...... It's almost evening, you should go back to the palace! I probably won't be so busy in the future, you can go back to the palace every afternoon and have other classes, don't be too wasteful! ”

Seeing that the third prince was full of resistance, he said with a smile: "Think about how lonely and lonely your fourth brother is in Jiuzhang Hall every day?" ”

In the face of Zhang Shou's powerful reason, the three princes' thoughts of fighting suddenly came to naught. He bowed his head embarrassedly and bowed, and said seriously, "Teacher, I'm going back", and then hurriedly walked out. And looking at his back, Ji Jiu couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "The relationship between the third prince and the fourth prince is really good. ”

The person in front of the person is called Zheng Rong, and the person in the back is called the third prince, this strange situation can only be seen in the Chinese side of the Jiuzhang Hall. However, at this time, Ji Jiu's emotion attracted a lot of echoes, especially those who have many brothers in the family, even if there are brothers who have a bad relationship with themselves, there are always one or two good brothers and brothers, and they also showed a knowing smile for a while.

And Zhang Shou, who had no brothers and sisters in the past and no brothers and sisters now, couldn't help but smile at this time. He doesn't have a younger brother, but doesn't he have an elusive Ah Liu?

In such a flash, he thought of Ah Liu, who saw the head and tail of the Tiantian Shenlong, so since the words were finished, he smiled and said hello to the students, then turned around and walked out, and when he came to the university archway, he really saw Ah Liu holding the Zhu Ying so-called docile Feibai waiting there, and immediately stepped forward to tease him.

"Yingying said that Xiaohong, another horse with a somewhat irritable temperament, will go back and give it to you, but she will go back and help you train the horse first."

Ah Liu was obviously stunned for a while, and after a while, Zhang Shou took the reins, and then he said thoughtfully: "Then what should I give the eldest lady as a gift?" ”

Zhang Shou was immediately amused by Ah Liu's natural tone. The emperor rewarded two horses, and Zhu Ying gave them to Ah Liu, and the result was ...... The really big-spending emperor was completely forgotten by Ah Liu. But there's nothing wrong with that, after all, even if Ah Liu turns around and collects the horse, it will also be obtained from Zhu Ying. So, he raised his eyebrows with a smile and patted the kid on the shoulder.

"What kind of gift to give, you have to think about it yourself, I won't give you any ideas."

Seeing that Zhang Shou was now able to jump on the back of the horse in a relatively chic posture, Ah Liu suddenly scratched his head in distress, and after getting on his mount, he was a little worried along the way. Zhu Ying's preferences Zhang Shou knows, and he also knows that she likes gorgeous costumes and those beautiful but not necessarily valuable gadgets.

Among the trophies he had from his childhood, there seemed to be a lot of such things, but most of them were blood-stained. Therefore, on the day of Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying's birthday, he knew that Zhang Shou was not taboo, so he gave him a seal, but he didn't pick something there to give to Zhu Ying, but asked Wu for money, and he went to the famous silver building in the capital to make a gold longevity lock piece.

He later realized under Hua Qi's ridicule that the seal engraved to Zhang Shou was too bad, and the gold lock plate given to Zhu Ying was too earthy...... Therefore, now that Zhu Ying has left a thousand-mile horse for him, what should he give back if he is incompetent in giving gifts?
