Chapter 158: Leisurely Farming
Qin Zhao sat bored in his chair and looked at the recent twists and turns, Ji Chen stood aside worriedly: "You obviously know that Zhao Yunheng is winning people's hearts, but he said such a thing in the main hall, if it weren't for Dayu's recent development, I estimate that King Wei would be going to enter Beijing now." ”
Qin Zhao coughed a little weakly: "What Dayu needs are loyal and patriotic talents, don't worry about those wall grass swaying from side to side, then again, how is that coal mine?" ”
Ji Chen rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly: "It's already much better, the management problem is almost solved, and a large amount of coal will be shipped out from tomorrow, but I heard that King Wei has secretly contacted the people in the coal mine management, and it seems that he is planning to buy some." ”
Qin Zhao's original expression could be regarded as serious, and he almost laughed out loud when he heard the words: "This old horseman doesn't care about face, it's really happy!" ”
Ji Chen took a sip of tea and said lightly: "There is a shortage of food in the south now, and it is all supported by money that I don't know where it comes from!" It is said that half of the queen's vegetables were sold to merchants in the Western Regions, and the remaining half was sold to him. ”
Qin Zhao casually threw the fold aside and stood up, stretched his waist and said indifferently: "Don't worry about this, that old horseman has always been conceited, and he won't be able to farm anyway." ”
Ji Chen nodded in agreement, and then frowned and said worriedly: "The potatoes have basically begun to be harvested, and the victims are quite happy, but the weather is getting colder and colder, and many of the victims are sick. ”
Qin Zhao sighed and walked to the window, the late autumn wind blew in, and he shivered before saying, "Ask the Internal Affairs Office to count how many empty houses there are in the capital, and by the way, see if there are caves or anything like that outside the city." ”
Ji Chen knew that this was the only way at the moment, so he agreed and left, and the rest of Qin Zhao looked at the direction of the Empress Palace thoughtfully.
The weather is getting colder and colder, Lu Qingjin walked towards the greenhouse with a thick cloak, Qinglan tucked her clothes vigorously on the side, Lu Qingjin sighed helplessly: "Don't be so careful, this cloak is very thick, I feel hot when I wear it." ”
Qinglan stretched out her hand and stroked her cloak: "It's true that the material is still good, it seems that the merchant from the Western Regions didn't deceive people!" ”
Lu Qingjin opened the door of the greenhouse and walked in, and the heat on her face made her have to take off her cloak: "What is abundant in the Western Regions is wool felt, this cloak is just made of thick wool felt, although wool is very expensive in the capital, but it is nothing in the Western Regions, so he took advantage of me." ”
Qinglan pursed her lips and said as she took the cloak: "But it is already a good deal for you to use two pumpkins to change such a cloak, this merchant of the Western Regions is still quite conscientious." ”
Lu Qingjin walked to the corner and looked at the carrot seedlings and said lightly: "It's just that you want to do wool business with us, this is just a temptation, don't tell me that there is no news from my aunt." ”
Qinglan touched her nose stupidly: "You know everything, I won't hide it from you, my aunt said that there is a disagreement between the Western Regions and the Hu people, originally their wool felt was mostly bought from the Hu people, and after this accident, a lot of wool felt was left." ”
Lu Qingjin rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand and began to pull the weeds between the seedlings, paused when he heard the words, raised his head and asked, "Auntie mean to let me cut off my beard?" But we don't seem to need much wool felt here, and even if I buy it, I won't be able to sell it! ”
Qinglan thought for a while before she said slowly: "My aunt said that she couldn't sell it because the weather was not cold enough, and because there were not enough people, and she also said that you must know how to choose!" ”
This sentence has no beginning or end, but Lu Qingjin understood, she sighed and pulled out the weeds in the soil little by little: "Auntie is really unusual, you go and help me tell my aunt, just say that I understand, I will buy wool felt in the near future, please ask my aunt to help drag King Wei's side, otherwise I won't be able to get it here!" ”
Qinglan agreed, handed the cloak in her hand to the little eunuch on the side, and walked out, the cold wind after the door opened made Lu Qingjin feel excited, and it took a while before continuing the movements in his hand.
The little eunuch silently handed her the kettle on the side, Lu Qingjin glanced up at him, and asked while watering the carrots: "I remember that you went to Huangzhuang a few days ago, why did you come back so soon." ”
The little eunuch replied respectfully: "The Huangzhuang has almost been cleaned up, and it is useless for me to stay anywhere, so I will come back and continue to take care of the garden." ”
Lu Qingjin put down the kettle and picked up the branch on the side and began to make a shelf for the cucumbers that had grown: "It's okay, I'm also relieved that you're here, I plan to build another greenhouse not far away in a few days, and you will be in charge of that greenhouse in the future!" ”
The little eunuch hummed absentmindedly, and after a while he asked softly, "Does Niangniang know that I am different from ordinary people?" ”
The movements of Lu Qingjin's hands stopped, and she felt the uneasiness emanating from the plants around her: "Don't think about it, I'm the same as you, what you do in the palace isn't it, isn't this kind of work good?" ”
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the melon leaf closest to him: "You're right, I'm very happy here, but I'm worried that I won't have such a good treatment if it's useless in the future." ”
Lu Qingjin shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to worry, I won't let you leave here whether you have special abilities or not, this can be regarded as a promise." ”
The little eunuch's expression relaxed, and he nodded vigorously after a while: "I will work hard, and I hope that Niangniang will be the talker." ”
Lu Qingjin didn't answer him, just quietly looked at the lush vegetable garden in front of her, breathing the warm and humid air at the tip of her nose, her mood was inexplicably much better.
The little eunuch said in surprise: "Niangniang, come and see, the tomatoes here have received fruits, and they are all a little strange." ”
Lu Qingjin walked over slowly, only to see several bunches of fruits on the tomato seedlings, which were all red, red, purple and purple, she frowned and checked some and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that I don't know what changes have occurred in the tomato variety, but this variety seems to be more delicious, and we have earned it." ”
The little eunuch took a small basin and walked over, and the red fruits were picked one after another, and Lu Qingjin smiled with satisfaction.
