Some of the cotton seeds in the bolls have been planted in the greenhouse, sprinkled with some manure, watered, and the door of the greenhouse is closed.

Zhao Dezhao saw that everything was almost done, so he instructed Wei Bo, an old tenant from the Zhuang family of the Wei King's Mansion, to take care of the cotton and cotton seeds on time.

After everything was ready, Zhao Dezhao took a four-wheeled carriage and rushed to the palace of the king of Wei, the way they went back was not the way they came, the road passed through paddy fields, Zhao Dezhao also planned to see how the rice in Zhancheng was planted.

The afternoon air was a little damp and stuffy, and after a cup of tea, suddenly a spring rain struck, watering the thirsty earth.

Half an hour later, the spring rain has stopped, the air is very fresh, and the cement pavement is full of water stains. After the spring rains, there are still many tenant farmers in the fields who are busy planting rice.

Zhao Dezhao got out of the carriage and walked to a paddy field, where he saw that the sown rice in the field had begun to sprout.

These seedlings, one by one, one by one, are also very touching to the senses, and the tenants and farmers in the distance are all bowing their heads, wearing straw hats, they pull up their trouser legs high, and their hands are working in the fields, and the height of these seedlings can almost be divided.

Zhao Dezhao and the accompanying little nobleman only stood on the edge of the paddy field for a while, and when they saw that the tenants were still busy planting rice, they immediately set off to return to the Wei Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the Wei Palace, Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered something, and his Wei Palaces were only a few streets away from Zhao Pu's mansion.

Zhao Dezhao instructed Xiao Guizi, "Little Guizi, you go and tell the kitchen to get some bath water, and remember not to put soap in the bath water." ”

"Yes." Xiao Guizi was a little surprised, in the past, his master usually asked the servants to prepare some soap for bathing, but today he didn't prepare soap, and Xiao Guizi didn't want to do anything, but ordered the kitchen to prepare bath water.

After taking a bath, Zhao Dezhao changed into civilian clothes, the whole person looked very experienced and heroic, Zhao Dezhao did not take the car, and then walked to Zhao Pu's mansion.

Zhao Pu's mansion is not luxurious among the princes and ministers, and it matches Zhao Pu's personality very well.

When the servant in front of the Zhao Mansion saw King Wei coming, he immediately bowed slightly, "Xiao Di Zhao Fang has seen King Wei Chitose. ”

"Uncle Zhao is exempt, I don't know if Mr. Zhao is in the house?"

Zhao Fang bowed slightly, and then said: "Yes, Chitose, Ah Lang is in the house, Xiao Di will immediately call Ah Lang." ”

"No need, Uncle Zhao, since Mr. Zhao has something to do, I'll just take a stroll in the back garden."

"Chitose, this ......" Zhao Fang was a little at a loss.

Zhao Dezhao has already entered the Zhao Mansion.

After a while, suddenly a young man came in the distance, his clothes were washed a little white, he was wearing a long shirt with a collar, his hands crossed behind his back, his head held high, and he looked up to the sky.

After the sky was washed by the spring rain, it was a little pale, and he stared at the spring swallow in the sky with a expression, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind.

Zhao Dezhao heard a sound of footsteps in the distance, immediately turned his head, and saw a young man older than himself in the distance, he guessed that this person was Zhang Qixian, the talent of the future generation of prime ministers.

The young man on the opposite side had a somewhat plump face, this person was Zhang Qixian, he took a wide step, and soon he had reached the steps. He had already seen Zhao Dezhao in civilian clothes in the distance, and he was also observing Zhao Dezhao.

The young man in front of him looked very heroic, and he was much taller than himself, although he was wearing civilian clothes, he couldn't hide his identity, this person was either rich or expensive, and it flashed in Zhang Qixian's mind in an instant.

He felt that this person was the same age as himself, and today he suddenly appeared in the mansion of Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and this young man was becoming more and more difficult.

Zhang Qixian is observing Zhao Dezhao, and at this moment Zhao Dezhao is also observing Zhang Qixian, at the moment Zhang Qixian is still very young, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight.

The person on the other side was very calm, the man nodded to himself, but Zhao Dezhao nodded very politely.

When the two of them walked two or three feet away, they bowed slightly to each other.

The first meeting between the two ended like this, Zhang Qixian had already entered Zhao Pu's mansion, and on the other side, Zhao Dezhao went to the back garden of Zhao's mansion from the side of the road.

Zhao Pu also walked out of the study at this time, and Zhao Pu and Zhang Qixian naturally couldn't see Zhao Dezhao.

"I've seen you, sir." Zhang Qixian is still quite civilized, and Zhao Pu on the other side is also quite satisfied.

Zhao Pu saw Zhang Qixian returning from a study tour, and he immediately said: "Shi Liang, are you used to living in the house recently?" ”

Zhang Qixian immediately bowed down and said: "Thanks to Mr. for taking care of him, Shi Liang has been living in the house, and Mr. has been bothered by him recently, and Shi Liang is really sorry." ”

Zhao Pu suddenly said, "Shi Liang, I recently recommended you to King Wei Chitose."

Zhao Pu's words suddenly made Zhang Qixian a little flattered, he couldn't believe his ears, because Zhao Pu was the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, even though Zhang Qixian was a little generous, but he still suppressed the joy in his heart, and he didn't show any joy on his face, he knew that Zhao Pu recommended him to King Wei It was a great opportunity.

"It's really humiliating." At this moment, Zhao Pu's heart was not surprised by Zhang Qixian's favor and humiliation, but also admired, he felt that he was not looking at the wrong person, on the contrary, he felt that he was right to recommend Zhang Qixian to Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei.

Then Zhao Pu said: "Shi Liang has been in Beijing, can it be smooth?" ”

Zhang Qixian said: "Sir, everything is going well, since leaving Luoyang, the moment he arrived in Kaifeng, at first Shi Liang was a little unaccustomed to everything in the capital, such as the Kaifeng bus that came out of nowhere, and other ...... However, Shi Liang has also sat a few times recently, and found that the speed of this car is very fast, and it is also extremely beneficial for people to travel, especially outside the city, in addition, the road is also very smooth, and the carriage has no bumpy meaning... I don't know if Luoyang City is also repaired like Tokyo Kaifeng. ”

Zhao Pudao: "Shi Liang rest assured, the East and West Erjing is the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the land of Longxing, so naturally it will not be bad." And in the future, it will not only be the east and west of the two capitals, sooner or later, one day, all places under the world will be the same as the capital. ”

Zhang Qixian was also very surprised when he heard Zhao Pu say this, cement, buses, four-wheeled carriages, docks, potatoes, Champa rice, Liuzhou...... Behind all this is the efforts of Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, and there will be more novel things in the future on the land of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Qixian is very much looking forward to it when he thinks of these, and he also wants to see this legendary Wei King Chitose, but when he heard that Zhao Pu recommended himself to the King of Wei, Zhang Qixian was also very worried and looking forward to it......

"As Mr. said, in the future, the achievements of my Great Song Dynasty will far surpass those of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Zhao Pudao: "Shi Liang, what kind of person do you think the King of Wei is today?" ”

Hearing Zhao Pu's question, Zhang Qixian suddenly calmed down, and then said, "To be honest, sir, Shi Liang really wants to meet this Wei King Chitose."

"In that case, I will arrange for you to meet with Your Highness next time."

"There's an old gentleman."

Zhao Pu stroked his beard and smiled, and Zhang Qixian was on the side.

At this moment, a voice came from nowhere, and then an old servant trotted over, this person was Zhao Fang, and he whispered a few words in Zhao Pu's ear.

Zhao Pu was also surprised, and he immediately said to Zhang Qixian: "Shi Liang, let's go to the living room now."

Zhao Pu

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Pu and Zhang Qixian entered the living room one after another, and Zhao Pu did not tell Zhang Qixian that the person opposite was Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei.

And when Zhao Dezhao saw Zhao Pu, he also bowed his hand slightly, "Rixin has seen Mr. Zhao." Then he raised his head and gestured to Zhao Pu with his eyes.

Zhang Qixian on the side was just standing, and he knew the young man opposite, who was at the gate of the mansion just now, only to see this young man smile when he saw him, and then said: "This brother is Mr. Zhao's relative?"

Zhang Qixian said: "This brother, Mr. Zhao is my teacher."

Zhao Dezhao arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be Mr. Zhao's student, Mr. Zhao is my Great Song Zaizhi, Mr.'s student must also be very powerful, and the eldest brother will also become my Da Song Zaizhi in the future."

Zhang Qixian humbly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, Shi Liang is just a frog at the bottom of the well, not as good as Mr. Zhao, how dare you."

Zhao Pu knew what Zhao Dezhao meant, he did not reveal the identity of the other party, but said with a slight embarrassment: "Rixin, is there a big event in the house today?"

"It's not a big deal, Rixin has been in doubt recently, and he came over to bother Mr., please ask Mr. to answer one or two, but since this big brother is also there, you might as well discuss it together."

Zhao Pu nodded and said, "You and Shi Liang have a good understanding, you might as well get to know each other."

Then Zhao Pu said again: "I don't know what Rixin wants to ask today?"

Zhao Dezhao seemed to point out, "Now that my court is strong, and the current official family is personally conquering Hebei, Mr. stayed in Beijing, working hard all night, diligent, do you feel that you are not able to do things, for example, if you want to do one thing, it is absolutely impossible to rely on one person alone, and you need many ministers to complete it at this time, but it still can't work, and the ruler is long, and the inch is short." ”

Zhang Qixian on the side said: "This kind of thing does exist, people's talents are different, the division of labor is different, and people's energy is not as long as the sun, moon and stars, and everything cannot be perfect, so more people are needed to complete it together."

"What Shi Liang said is true, I also think that the imperial court still needs all kinds of talents at the moment, and when the official family returns to Beijing, I will definitely recommend some talents to the official family."

"Yes, talent is rare, Mr. Zhao. I think Brother Shi Liang is good, so I might as well recommend it to the imperial court. ”

"That's what I mean, Shi Liang's qualifications are also good, and I don't know if the future will be above me."

"Mr. is Mr., Shi Liang is Shi Liang, how can Shi Liang be compared with Mr."

"Hahaha, Shi Liang, haven't you always wanted to see King Wei Chitose?"

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhang Qixian raised his head and looked at the young man in civilian clothes named "Rixin" opposite, and suddenly he understood something, and then arched his hand and said, "Shi Liang has seen King Wei Chitose. "Manners, down-and-out generosity, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhao Pu glanced at Zhao Dezhao obliquely, as if to say, "I didn't tell others your identity."

"In that case, I don't know if Brother Shi Liang can deign to cook."

"But with the orders of King Wei Chitose, Shi Liang will definitely not disappoint Mr. Zhao's recommendation."
