Chapter 511: Rejection of Fame and Fortune
"Well, hello Lord Shangshu, is there something about Lord Shangshu coming to my small shop?"
Si Si asked cautiously, not counting those friends he had seen before, this person in front of him was the first time he had seen an official in the officialdom!
But what the hell is this old man looking for himself, from the Ministry of Agriculture? Did you see something wrong with my stuff?
"Hahaha, shopkeeper, you don't have to be so nervous, the old man just walks around casually and chats with you for a few words, and there is no one else, so you don't have to follow any rules." As if he could see what Si Si was thinking, Master Shangshu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have been serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture for a long time, and I have always wanted to make the grain area bigger, so that the people of my dynasty can have no worries about food and clothing, and they can eat enough. ”
"But I never thought that my Ministry of Agriculture was useless, and what sweet potatoes and the like came in a few days ago, the old man was so old, I really feel ashamed."
"Well, Lord Shangshu, since the emperor can let you sit in this position, then you must have the talent to learn from others, why bother to be arrogant."
Si Si heard him talk about sweet potatoes, and suddenly thought about it, sweet potatoes seemed to be found by himself, and then asked Old Man Yao to go to the court to supply them, so in this way, it is still on his head to go around and around.
Fortunately, the person in front of him didn't know about it, otherwise, he wouldn't know what else was in trouble!
"Lord Shangshu, you see that I am just a small shop, and there is not much eye-catching, I really don't understand what you mean, Lord Shangshu!"
After hearing what she said, Lord Shangshu shook his head and didn't answer anything, just walked around the store with a smile on his face.
Well?
It's just this small shop, what's there to visit, didn't he see it all the last time he came?
Si Si complained like this in his heart, but he still followed behind others according to his temperament, for fear that there would be something inconsiderate.
"Shopkeeper, last time you told me that you saw the names and planting methods of these seeds recorded in an ancient book, but is it true?" Master Shang Shu suddenly asked again.
"This, this is naturally true, can I still lie to you, my lord?"
Even if it's not true, it must be said to be true, otherwise how can this be explained, the words have already been said, how can it be changed?
"Okay, shopkeeper, I have something to ask for, I don't know if you are willing to agree?"
Asking for one thing?
"Your Excellency is not joking with me, I'm just a flat-headed commoner, how can there be any place for you to ask for anything?"
"That's the case, I see that most of your species are species that I have never seen in the dynasty, and even if I have seen them, there is no species that can be planted alive, I want to introduce you to the emperor, and introduce these seeds, plants, and plants to the emperor one by one, I want to ask the emperor for a favor, so that the emperor will plant these things vigorously."
"It can not only enrich the types of crops in our dynasty, but also add a few more edible dishes to the people's dinner table. Shopkeeper, do you think it's okay? ”
It turned out to be this matter, Si Si silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he thought that he was letting himself tell how to know about these crop types, and it was still a little difficult to make up so many at once!
But do you want to talk about these things in front of the emperor? Twenty fifty thousand
Si Si had some refusal in her heart, she didn't want it, in the palace, in front of the emperor, she just had to open her own small shop and do her own small business with peace of mind, and she didn't want to provoke those big people.
"Lord Shangshu, if you want to present these seeds to the emperor and let the emperor vigorously develop the planting, I can provide you with how to plant them and the source of these seeds."
Si Si thought carefully in his heart for a while, and finally said: "But I don't want to come out of this, if there is any credit, let it be given to you, I don't seek fame and fortune, nor do I ask for rewards, I just want to live my life in peace and stability." ”
Hearing Si Si say these words, the expression on Master Shangshu's face seemed to be a little surprised, and a little admired.
He has been an official for decades, and he has never seen all kinds of people in the court, and if he sees a person like the person in front of him for the first time, he does not seek fame and fortune, and does not seek promotion, it is also a rare thing.
"Shopkeeper, you have to think about it." Lord Shangshu said: "If you can personally bring these things to the emperor, get the emperor's blue eyes, and reward you with some money, it is still a little, maybe you can also reward your family with an official and a half-position, don't you have a scholar or a child in your family?" You must know that as long as you leave your name on the emperor's side, it is not a matter of words if you want to become an official in the future. ”
That's what I said!
"Still can't." Si Si resolutely refused: "I also have children who are studying, but they are all literate and can rely on their own efforts to get in, and they don't need my help, and I believe in their ability, and I believe that they will not be willing to take this path." ”
"If you want to present it to the emperor, then give it, but don't mention me, sir, do you think that's okay?"
The man in front of him is really a temperamental, not bad.
Master Shangshu looked at her appreciatively and nodded, and then asked, "What is your name, the shopkeeper?" I can't say it too much! ”
"Uh, Sisi, my name is Sisi."
"Sisi? Okay, I remember. ”
Master Shangshu left such a sentence and left the store.
Only Si Si looked at his back, a little confused.
How can this old man talk without a beginning or an end, and he can't say it clearly, what does he want?
Forget it, ignore it, in short, people shouldn't hurt me.
Si Si thought very optimistically, turned his head and went to do something else, and quickly left this matter behind, but he didn't know how much this matter had caused a storm in the court, of course, all this would not affect Si Si.
……
"The Ministry of Agriculture? What did he come here for? ”
Lu Yan asked with some confusion about the people his subordinates sent to protect his wife.
"Back to the master, well, the lord seems to have taken a fancy to the seeds in the lady's shop and wants to report it to the emperor, he originally wanted to go in the name of the lady and let the lady go to meet the emperor, but the lady refused."
