Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Hou Sui knew that Su Baiyi was his fellow countryman, but he could only hold back and not speak. Because he kept in mind Yuan Keli's words: "Unless you push him to the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, otherwise, there will be chaos", and he knew that Su Baiyi was a lawless guy in his eyes, so he didn't say a word.

But now that Emperor Chongzhen asked, he can't be regarded as dumb.

Hou Sui slowly came out of the ranks, bowed deeply in the direction of the emperor's throne, and said very simply: "Su Bu, the word white, a native of Henan Guide, is the son of the late Nanjing squire Su Xuan. ”

A very general and detailed introduction, which not only answered the emperor's questions, but also said nothing to be equal to nonsense.

This is the genius of Hou Sui.

But the emperor did not intend to let him go, and continued to ask: "How is his person, what is his talent?" ”

Hou Sui took a deep breath and came to the edge again: "Su Baiyi is a child who has not passed the four tests, and he is now twenty years old, teaching in Xiangzi for a living. ”

Hearing this, the emperor frowned.

I didn't succeed in the four attempts, but I didn't show any talent, and I was still a child!

Is this talented?

The expectation of Su Baiyi suddenly decreased a little in his heart, and he snorted coldly: "I'm afraid it's also an empty stomach!" ”

Hong Chengchou touched the cold sweat on his head, plopped down and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, Su Baiyi is a strange person, although he has no merit, he can be regarded as an extraordinary person." ”

As he spoke, he groped out a cucumber from his sleeve that had been deburred, the skin looked smooth, and he held it in his hand respectfully, "Your Majesty, please see, what is this?" ”

"This ......"

"It's ...... Cucumber? ”

Cucumber Chongzhen has naturally seen it, not only seen it, but also eaten it.

But when he saw such a tender green cucumber in winter, he was a little unsure.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's a cucumber!" Hong Chengchou took a deep breath, handed the cucumber in his hand to Wang Chengen, who had already come down to ask for it, and continued: "As we all know, it is impossible to cultivate cucumbers in winter, but this Su Baiyi has cultivated cucumbers. ”

"Really?"

Everyone was slightly surprised, and the emperor was also interested, and played with the cucumber in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then suddenly broke it into two pieces, and handed one of them to the little eunuch beside him: "You taste it, how does it taste?" ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to speak, so he took the cucumber and stuffed it into his mouth, and after eating a few bites, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's a cucumber!" With some excitement as he spoke, he quickly stuffed the remaining cucumbers into his mouth.

"Hehe, it's kind of interesting!" Chongzhen put the half of the cucumber in his hand on the table and finally smiled.

"Your Majesty!" Hong Chengchou groped out a small square piece of soap from his arms, held it in his hand respectfully and said: "The name of this thing is soap, the same as soap powder, it can be used for laundry, but the effect is very good, this is also something made by Su Baiyi, not only laundry is faster, but also does not need mallet clothes, and does not hurt clothes." This thing is all the rage and is quite popular among the people! ”

"Seems to be a clever man!" Chongzhen praised lightly, but he was not very interested in the things used for laundry, he cared about the war situation, the country, not such trivial things as washing clothes and cooking.

Although he praised Su Baiyi slightly, so far, what this guy has done is basically focused on two aspects.

One is to cook and grow vegetables; The second is to wash clothes.

How capable can such a guy be?

"Lord Hong also reminded me that Su Baiyi had also heard of it!" An old man with gray hair and a slightly chubby red face came out of the line on the right, and his voice was particularly loud: "Your Majesty, the minister heard a strange thing some time ago, saying that there was a pregnant woman in Guide Mansion who had a difficult birth, and Su Baiyi broke the pregnant woman with a knife and took out the second child from the abdomen!" ”

"Ah......" Wang Chengen lost his voice and said: "Xu, Lord Xu, isn't this murder?" ”

Chongzhen also nodded: "Kill one person and save two, I can forgive him for his innocence!" ”

"No, no!" Xu Guangqi shook his head and said, "It is said that after Su Baiyi took out the fetus from the pregnant woman's womb, he used the sheep intestine as a thread to sew up the wound where the pregnant woman broke her abdomen, and the pregnant woman healed in more than a month!" ”

"And such a thing?" When Chongzhen heard this, he was not calm.

It's a fantasy!

The others also looked incredulous, and all whispered.

Chongzhen's gaze finally fell on Hou Sui, and Lord Hou trembled all over, and quickly stood up without waiting for the emperor to ask, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, this is true, when the minister returned to his hometown in August, he also saw the daughter-in-law and two babies of Chen Yuanwai's family, which are no different from normal people." ”

Everyone was shocked!

Chongzhen said: "It's also a genius." Hong Aiqing, what did you say he was proficient in just now...... Gas, meteorology? ”

"Yes, it's weather!" Hong Chengchou was much calmer this time.

"What is meteorology?" Chongzhen wondered.

I've only heard of celestial phenomena and astrological phenomena, how can I come up with a meteorology?

"Gas, meteorological ......" Hong Chengchou was dumbfounded.

At the beginning, he heard Wang Shouxin say this, but he didn't know what the specific situation was, so he could only wipe his cold sweat again, and said with some embarrassment: "This, the minister doesn't know, Your Majesty might as well greet the adult, and the Lord Hou may know a thing or two." ”

Hou Xun's head went black.

But you have to tell the truth, at least the Son of Heaven can't bully the king in front of him!

briefly described Su Baiyi's experiment of concealing the existence of the atmosphere that day, and then said: "So the minister guesses that the so-called meteorology should be the phenomenon of the atmosphere." ”

The crowd was horrified!

"In this world, is there really an atmosphere?"

"So there's still atmosphere!"

"The old man really wants to see what this atmosphere is like, he is passing by the Guide Mansion every day, and he will definitely go to visit!"

……

The solemn court seemed to have turned into an academic seminar in an instant.

Chongzhen nodded calmly, and asked Hou Sui again: "Then Su Baiyi predicts the weather according to the weather, can Hou Aiqing know?" ”

"This minister also knows!" Hou Sui didn't dare to conceal: "Su Baiyi predicts the weather, every word must be true, as for the people of Shangqiu scrambling to inquire, it is said that they have never lost their words once, and the people call him Xiao Zhuge !" ”

"Great talent!" Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath, his face was happy for a while and gloomy for a while, and suddenly said: "Hou Aiqing, you have such a talent in your hometown, why don't you report to the court in the morning?" ”

Hou Sui suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and defended: "Your Majesty, the Guide Mansion is a good township, but it is not the jurisdiction of the minister!" ”

"That's a dereliction of duty on the part of the prefect of Guide!" Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen very unreasonably: "Go back and bring a message to Henan, return to the prefect of Germany and don't raise his talents, he will be fined for half a year, and let him stay in Shangqiu for a few more years!" ”

Very unreasonable.

The imperial court recruited talents by virtue of the imperial examination.

But the emperor is unreasonable, who can argue with him?

Besides, who is the prefect of Guide?

It's just a little ant, who cares?

"Recruit this Su Baiyi into Beijing, I also want to know, why did this celestial phenomenon treat me like this?" The ease just now was swept away, and the court became nervous again.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, bowed: "The cabinet is the purpose!" ”

"No need!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand: "It's not a machine, so let's invite it in an ordinary way!" He looked at the old eunuch Wang Chengen beside him, "Cao Huachun, the celebrant of ceremonies, is out of Beijing at sunset, and goes south to find Su Baiyi and come to Beijing to face the king in the future!" Tell the clerical office, this matter is no better than entering the case. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The reason why he was reluctant to issue an order and did not let the clerical office responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds record the summoning of Su Baiyi was because the emperor always felt that even if Su Baiyi was talented, he could not get rid of the identity of an ordinary alchemist. He didn't want to leave evidence for future generations, and was sprayed by later generations like Emperor Wen of Han as a monarch who "didn't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods".

……

Su Baiyi naturally didn't know that his statement had reached the court, and it had attracted so much attention.

He was tired all the way, rode to Bozhou Mansion, and found that the vortex river could not be used at all, so he could only ride forward again, and spent two days to Mengcheng County, where the vortex river was slightly wider, but it was still frozen.

I had no choice but to change the carriage and move forward.

The speed slowed down.

The carriage walked slowly, and it took six days to pass Huaiyuan, starting from Huaiyuan, and the vortex river flowed into the Huai River.

The Huai River is a big river in the south of Zhili, although the ice and snow are extremely cold, the river surface can still be boated, and the boats on the Huai River are endless, quite prosperous.

It was not far from Huaiyuan to Fengyang Mansion, Su Baiyi simply did not change boats, just lay on the carriage, squeaked all the way and walked slowly, and it took two days to finally arrive at Fengyang Mansion.

Fengyang, the capital of the capital!

This is the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty, the hometown of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's parents are still buried in Xuyi County not far away, which is a royal mausoleum.

Su Baiyi didn't have any mood to see the imperial tomb, and after staying in Fengyang Mansion for a day, he walked to the southeast again.

Although quartz stone is produced in Fengyang, it can be far away in the Shimen Mountain area in the southeast of Fengyan, backed by Nushan Lake, and the water transportation is also smooth.

After arriving at Shimen Mountain, Su Baiyi knew that he had found the right place.

Quartz!

Quartz stone can be seen everywhere!

Although it was the first time he had seen this thing, he recognized it just by looking at Su Baiyi.

Some were pure white, some were slightly yellow, and he had no doubt that the stones here would be dug up and shipped out and fired in a glass firing furnace, and he would be 100 percent able to get the glass he wanted.

The key question is, how to get it out.

Shimen Mountain is backed by Nuxian Lake, and the north side of Nuxian Lake is connected to the Huai River.

From here it is easy to transport water to the Huai River, but it is a little difficult to transport from the Huai River to Guide Province.

First of all, because after the diversion of the Yellow River, part of the waterway took the Huai into the sea, and part of it also entered the Yangtze River, so the river channel in the lower reaches of the entire Jianghuai region is very chaotic.

It is undeniable that the Yellow River will be able to pass, but the specific waterway is difficult to define.

You have to find someone who is familiar with the waterways to act as a middleman.

Second question.

Although there are many quartz stones, they are all on the mountain, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's Longxing land, and the government will ignore the stones when they are mined here?

How to fix it?
