Chapter 344: Reward the Night Pearl
"Okay, then such an important matter will be left to you!"
Li Lin was stunned at first, then frowned in embarrassment, glanced at Wang Shang a few times, and muttered: "This... That's not a good fit, is it? ”
"Why, you still dare to disobey Lone's order?" Wang Shang raised his eyebrows and deliberately pretended to be angry and looked at Li Lin in the hall.
Of course, as a friend of the king for many years, Li Lin also knew that the other party was pretending to be angry, but if he wanted to deal with this matter himself, he had a headache.
He scratched his head, drooped his face, and was extremely embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, Weichen is just a small guard commander, if you rashly deal with this matter, wouldn't it ...... You say, don't you? ”
"Lone knows." Wang Shang got up, turned his previous face, and said with a smile: "But this is also the withdrawal that Lone trusts you, Li Lin, you can do it with confidence, no matter who is involved, don't be embarrassed, just report it directly, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
"Then the minister is relieved!" Li Lin saluted and received the order happily.
Because the king had already sent someone to spy on Zha Liang, everything Li Lin did next was much simpler.
As soon as Zha Liang heard that King Rong had been invited into the palace and had not been able to come out for a long time, he was not at ease, and had already begun to secretly contact the officials of King Rong's faction, and Li Lin, who had just taken over the matter, effortlessly intercepted the list of officials who asked Zha Liang for help, and submitted the list to the king intact.
The king dealt with those officials who supported King Rong, and imprisoned King Rong resolutely, although he was not executed, but being locked in a prison that did not see the light of day all day was more uncomfortable than execution.
The soldiers bloodlessly cleaned those disloyal officials in the court, and the king was proud, but it happened that at this time, Xiaoman also entered the palace to bring good news.
"What you said is true?" Wang got up and rushed down the steps regardless of his image, ecstatic: "You really grew vegetables?" ”
Xiao Man Yingying smiled, leaned over and said: "Back to the king, yes, the courtier's sister did grow vegetables, but those vegetables have not yet grown at this time, if the king is interested, you can go to the courtier's sister's house to watch." ”
"Quick!" The king immediately ordered: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to the county lord's mansion!" ”
It is the warmest season in the city, the king's sedan chair out of the palace, straight to the direction of the county lord's mansion, the pedestrians on the road are discussing, only half a day, the whole Bei'an knows that the county lord has grown vegetables in his own house.
In the midst of this bustling crowd, the king's sedan chair arrived at the county king's mansion.
Xiao Man walked in front to lead the way, leading people from the front yard to the backyard, and then to the small garden, looking at the little cabbage, small rape and so on, even if some dishes have just emerged, but it is enough to make everyone excited and boiling.
After all, in this piece of land, in addition to the vegetables bought at a high price, this is the first time they have seen such tender green vegetables.
The three greenhouses all turned around, and everyone returned to the main hall, and the king looked happy and said, "County Lord, this experiment is considered a success, right?" ”
"Back to the king, it is indeed successful, and then you can plant a large area." Xiao Manying saluted, the corners of her mouth curved, and her tone was irrepressibly happy.
Successfully planted vegetables, which means that he is closer to the day when he can return to Donglan, although there is nothing bad about this vicissitudes, but for Xiaoman, who has adapted to the weather in Donglan, it is still too cold here.
Wang Shangdayue: "Okay, county lord, it's up to you next!" I heard that the land in the suburbs has been built with a greenhouse, how about it, now you can start going to the suburbs, right? ”
"Absolutely." Xiao Man nodded and said, "Don't hide it from the king, the courtiers still have some things to tell the king." ”
"Say it." When the king was excited, he naturally waved his hand.
Xiao Man nodded and saluted, and then said: "Because there are fewer and fewer wild beasts in the mountains near Bei'an, there will definitely be a day when they will all die out in the future, so the husband of the minister's sister, that is, Lu Li, has been raising wild animals in the suburbs before. Yesterday, news came from the suburbs that the pheasants and hares he raised had begun to reproduce the next generation. ”
August is the warmest month in Canglan, and these pheasants and hares are also starting to reproduce, and if nothing else, the results will be seen in another month.
The fecundity of both animals is very amazing, and the next generation has been bred in less than a month, and Lu Li also raised a small number this time, but the total number has reached dozens at this time. It is conceivable that if it is raised in the future, it will definitely become more and more prosperous.
Even if you don't take it to the market, it will be more convenient to slaughter it yourself.
"Good!" When Wang Shangshang heard this, he was even happier when he heard this, and when he saw that things were developing in a better and better direction, and this result came earlier than he expected, he was very excited, "Come on! When I returned to the palace, I took a piece of night pearl that I had newly acquired a few days ago and rewarded it to the county lord of Anping! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although the old minister who accompanied him did not show anything on his face, he was surprised in his heart, and everyone invariably thought of the last time the king had the last night pearl, when King Rong was still prosperous, and the night pearl was also rewarded to King Rong.
In the county lord's mansion, which was on par with King Rong's level of luxury, everyone's eyes invariably fell on Su Xiaoman, either admiration or admiration, and some sour gazes......
But no matter what, Xiaoman always grew vegetables in Canglan on this cold day, and Lu Li's breeding industry also began to bear fruit, and the two not only became big celebrities in front of the king, but also became popular throughout Bei'an, and even Canglan.
After sending off the king, Liu Ying and Zhang Shangqi stayed because of the matter of the suburban greenhouse, and the three of them sat in the main hall, not waiting for the next person to serve tea, then Liu Ying couldn't wait to say: "County Lord, you are too powerful, you really grow vegetables, and the growth is not bad!" ”
Zhang Shangqi, who has always talked little, couldn't help but make a stubble: "I heard that the county lord inspects this greenhouse every day, but I can imagine how much effort the county lord has put in, and now the vegetables are growing gratifyingly, and it can be regarded as a reward for hard work." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Ying echoed: "That's what it means, but the county lord, just now I saw that the greenhouse is quite small, but the greenhouse built in the suburbs is much larger, this size is different, can you still grow vegetables smoothly?" ”
Xiao Man smiled slightly and said confidently: "As long as the temperature is okay, I am confident that I can grow it." ”
After speaking, Xiao Man said again: "However, I still have one more thing I want to ask the two adults to help, I wonder if the two of you can help?" ”
"It's okay for the county lord to say it directly."
"I want to recruit some people in the city, whether male or female, as long as I sincerely want to learn embroidery, but seeing that more than half a month has passed, there is still no effect, and so far only two people have been recruited. I thought that if I couldn't get together ten people, I would let these two people go back first, but they were very sincere, and I couldn't drive them away, so I ......"
As soon as she said this, Liu Ying hurriedly said, "If we come forward to drive those two students away, then I can't do it!" People really want to learn, you-"
"You wait for the county lord to finish talking and express your opinion, isn't it?" Zhang Shangqi stretched out his hand to interrupt, frowning slightly.
"What are you stopping me from doing, I haven't finished my words yet, you're so rude!" Liu Ying said unhappily.
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Xiao Man hurriedly interrupted the two and said, "I didn't express it clearly just now, and please don't worry, listen to me first." ”
After speaking, Xiao Man looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, and said, "I don't know if the two adults are willing to help me find more students, as long as I can see and afford the embroidery needle, no matter what the conditions." ”
This is already the minimum requirement in Xiao Man's heart, if it is lowered further, the person who is summoned will be meaningless at all.
"I see." Liu Ying nodded thoughtfully, touched her chin and thought about it, and said, "If the county lord wants to find someone who wants to learn embroidery, why don't you just go to the ready-to-wear store to recruit people?" Every ready-to-wear store should have its own embroiderer, right? ”
What Liu Ying said is true, but the embroidery girls in each shop are busy with the work in the store every day, where is the time to study? And this learning time is not short, even geniuses have to study for months, these embroiderers go out to make money, where will anyone leave months to make money to learn embroidery?
Therefore, although Liu Ying is a local official, he still doesn't understand the difficulties of ordinary or even poor families, Xiaoman sighed, and explained the reason to the other party helplessly.
Liu Ying nodded after hearing this, admitting that she really didn't understand this. Therefore, Xiao Man could only look at Zhang Shangqi and ask for help: "Master Zhang, do you have any good solutions?" ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know any of this." Zhang Shangqi got up and said a little embarrassedly: "But the old minister has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not." ”
"Master Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Zhang Shangqi cleared his throat and said without hurrying or slowing: "I heard that Lord Huali has a cooperation with the Hao Yixuan in the north of the city, and he will put the clothes that are transported from Donglan every time in the Hao Yixuan, and then let the Hao Yixuan sell them, and the money earned will be divided according to the agreement." And the clothes that Lord Huali brought from Donglan were all made by the Manrou Garment Factory, right? ”
Xiao Man nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
"It is conceivable that this Hao Yixuan should recognize the craftsmanship of the shop opened by the county lord, and naturally also recognize the embroidery art of Donglan. As far as I know, most of the people who buy clothes in Hao Yi Xuan are people who have slaves in the family, if the county lord asks the shopkeeper of Hao Yi Xuan to help publicize it, and let these people who buy Hao Yi Xuan's clothes bring the slaves of the family to you and let them learn embroidery, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? ”
