Didn't the Cao family have a choice? Yes, there has been no choice for a long time!

As early as when Zhu Zilong and Cao Yuting married, the Cao family was branded with the Zhao Ta family.

It's just that at that time, Zhu Zilong was still known as the top ten evils in Kaifeng who achieved nothing, and he ate and waited for death every day, and there was no future at all.

Therefore, the Cao family is the main one, and Zhu Zilong is the deputy. The impact on each other is not great, even if they don't have a choice, the Cao family doesn't care. Of course, he will not invest in Zhu Zilong!

However, with Zhu Zilong's sudden prodigal son, he turned back and invented soap, fruit wine, and so on. The Cao family was also pleasantly surprised to find that Zhu Zilong was worth investing.

At the beginning, the Cao family hoped to use capital to control the cash cow of Zhu Zilong. But it soon became clear that the two sides could only talk on an equal footing.

With cement, newspapers, new salt, and the doubling of holy favors, the legend of immortal legend was born. In a short period of time, Cao Gao suddenly realized.

The situation of his family in business has actually become a political choice. Because, the second prince Zhao Ta (Zhu Zilong), who is faintly a rising star, has reached the same level of influence as the crown prince!

This made Cao Gao, the head of the Cao family, entangled for a long time, observed for a long time, and thought for a long time. Facing Zhu Zilong, who is domineering and leaking at this moment, he finally figured it out!

decided to fully support Zhu Zilong......

"Even if you lose the bet, with the century-old relationship between my Cao family and the royal family, at most it will be ruined, so let's take a gamble!" Looking at Cao Bao's distant back, Cao Gao thought silently.

Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, more than 100 years have passed, and the crown prince has been full of bloody storms. It's only a little more stable in recent decades, but it's not an iron law!

After all, Song Taizu himself was not righteous, and his second brother was even more so, hacking him to death on the throne.

Soon after, the entire Zhao family was killed by the children and grandchildren, and the harem queen and the queen mother were even more innumerable!

The current emperor himself was not the crown prince back then, and the previous emperor was not the true prince of the previous emperor. How to say, Zhao Ta is only a second prince!

……

Seriously, Cao Bao had returned to the mountain a few months ago, but now he was also taken aback, because the changes were too great.

Unlike before, there are three new official roads that are smooth, connecting the east, west, and south sides of the city. These three smooth avenues, which are wide enough to accommodate five carriages in parallel, can be said to be the newest and widest cement avenue in the Great Song Dynasty.

Although it is not as paved with blue bricks as the Imperial City Royal Street, it can almost be used as a light to see people, but because there are countless cement workshops nearby, and the homeless people have priceless food, the manpower and material resources spent are too small.

Looking up at the mountain again, you can vaguely see a high-rise forest courtyard spreading, the pavilion is misty, the sun is shining, like a fairyland.

Sweeping the dock not far away, it was crowded with people. Obviously, the scale has expanded several times compared to before, and the number of people living here has not only not decreased, but seems to have increased a lot.

When he was young, Cao Bao stepped up the speed of going up the mountain, but it still startled the expansion mansion halfway up the mountain.

A stone pillar in the distance is at the intersection, and the six words of "Fighting the Tiger King's Mansion" shine brilliantly in the sun, making people involuntarily approach!

There are guards at the intersection, and they are allowed to pass after checking their identity registration......

The group walked for a while on the winding road paved with fine sand and gravel, and even passed by N pavilions, and the motortrip stopped in front of a quaint mansion.

The high wall of green bricks is full of petunias, and the corners of the wall are mossy and green, and the elegance is suddenly like a breeze. Apparently the owner did it on purpose!

"Cao Yanei, please this way!" A man in fancy clothes walked out of the house.

Cao Bao recognized the person, it was Jin Zheng, the eldest son of the golden housekeeper. is loyal to Zhao Ta (Zhu Zilong) and is deeply trusted.

Jin Zheng took Cao Bao all the way to the backyard, but saw Zhu Zilong at the entrance of the backyard, leading directly to dozens of acres of vegetable fields in the backyard, pointing at something with a group of people.

Taking a closer look, Cao Bao was stunned but also saw clearly, here are the vegetables that are ready to be greenhoused?

In ancient times, there were also greenhouse vegetables, "Hanshu Zhao Xinchen Biography" contains: "Taiguan Garden planted winter onions, leeks, vegetables, covered with roofs, day and night to burn the fire, to be warm is to give birth to ......"

In the first year of Emperor Jingning of the Han Yuan Dynasty (33 B.C.), some large houses were built in the palace at that time, and the eunuchs burned fires in them in winter, day and night, producing heat, and the temperature inside was much higher than that outside, forming a greenhouse. The eunuchs planted a large number of green onions, leeks, mushrooms, cabbage, etc., in it for the emperor to enjoy......

Look at Zhu Zilong's driving momentum on dozens of acres of land, except for the fact that there is no cap on the top, there is almost no more greenhouse vegetables than Cao Bao!

"Erlang, if you want to make a greenhouse, you can do a few acres of your own house, why do you want to do so much?" Cao Bao felt a little painful, and he also began to worry about something.

After all, in ancient times, this "out-of-season vegetable" was not something that ordinary people could enjoy. Even ministers and nobles may not have that blessing, and only a few people such as the emperor are eligible to enjoy this blessing.

Without it, the cost is too high.

Even the emperor can't eat greenhouse vegetables for a long time, the people's food and clothing are not enough for the whole country, and the emperor who is the father of the monarch is still so extravagant. The people's hearts are changing rapidly!

Zhu Zilong guessed Cao Bao's thoughts with just one glance, and said with a smile: "You just have to rest assured, our greenhouse consumes very little, far from being like the Han Dynasty, and there is almost no need to heat up the fire pit in winter." Non-artificial, all-natural, on the prop! ”

"And such a good thing?" Cao Bao's expression was obviously not convinced.

"Listen to me!" Zhu Zilong pointed to the double-layer brick wall of the greenhouse and said.

"There's the sound of water, this, the masonry is hot?" Cao Bao was shocked.

Zhu Zilong smiled and didn't say anything, but took him to a broken wall, only to see that the inside of the wall was hollow, especially the hole where there was heat emitting from the outside at intervals.

In the hollow passage in the upper and lower double walls, there are large bamboo pipes connected and pipes in a circle along the shed.

The hot air comes from the flow of water flowing in the pipes!

"It's hot spring water, and by the way, there are a few springs a few miles away. But because the water is so hot, it can almost be boiled raw, so it is not used! Cao Bao suddenly realized.

"That's right, when the boiling water hot spring arrives here through the bamboo pipe, the temperature is just right. This pipe can also be variable, cold or hot, and can also be used as a multi-purpose perfusion! Zhu Zilong replied with a smile.

Cao Bao was simply stunned, you must know that out-of-season vegetables, as long as the cost is not large, it is definitely a profitable business.

How many can't satisfy the appetite of the rich people in Kaifeng City, they can definitely make a lot of money, and they can wake up smiling when they sleep!

"It's wonderful, Erlang is really a genius, so adapting to local conditions, amazing, amazing!"
