Chapter 257

But no matter what the idea is, it is always the same, I just think that Lin Baozhu can't be provoked anymore. [No pop-ups. 】

The royal banquet is naturally much heavier than the rules on the side, and the singing and dancing during the natural period will be more pleasing to the eye. Lin Baozhu, who entered the palace for the first time, was a little uneasy and cautious, and at this time she was probably dispersed a lot by the gentleness of the Queen Mother and the Queen, plus there was a chatter and complaining to her about Princess Chenyue who Liu Jincai didn't understand the amorous style, didn't it make her feel a lot more relaxed?

"Princess, the courtiers don't know what to do, but they know that no one's heart is made of iron." Lin Baozhu smiled and whispered, "According to the courtiers' understanding of Lord Liu, he is a literati who abides by his duties and follows etiquette, if he doesn't feel the friendship of the princess, he should have refused harshly." In fact, most of the bottom lines between good men and love in the world are the same, just like my father-in-law, no matter how far I go, no matter what my identity is, I never care about what the woman next to me thinks, and I won't let other women show it closely. ”

For this, Lin Baozhu also finds it quite funny.

Seeing that Lin Baozhu said that her face was full of happiness, where did she look like a mother, she was completely a girl, but it made Princess Chenyue laugh.

"I've seen a thick-skinned person, I really haven't seen you so thick-skinned, you can seize the opportunity to protect the country. Look at that sweet look, I really can't stand it, oops, it's so sweet that my heart hurts," said Princess Chenyue and pretended to hold her chest and laughed.

After a while, she sighed again, "I don't know what you said, it's just that, it's just that, after the palace banquet, I will go to the East Palace to block him and ask him clearly, if he likes me, it is the best." If you don't like me, I'm not a stalker, and it's better to find someone who knows me and understands me the next day than to end up with him. ”

In fact, Lin Baozhu really likes Princess Chenyue's temperament, straightforward and happy, with clear love and hate, and is not a person who can't afford to let go.

When he said this, he heard the attendants singing loudly and making the New Year's salute. Then, as the voice of the chamberlain sounded, the royal family and ministers of the clan who were read their names began to come forward one by one to offer gifts, most of them were decent, no mistakes and no good, only the emperor nodded. There are also a few outstanding things that will provoke the queen mother or the emperor's reward.

In this way, when they arrived at Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu, they looked at each other and smiled, not caring about the eyes of others looking at or watching the play. In fact, Zhang Manchu was not worried, and he also thought about looking for Zhu Neng to ask, but in the end, he was stopped by his daughter-in-law, but he was reassured.

The daughter-in-law's words are all wise sayings, and they are more effective than the holy decree in his place, and since the daughter-in-law said to let him take care of it, he will not worry about it. I have to say that sometimes the trust between husband and wife can't be said to the end, even if it is nonsense and blind in the eyes of outsiders, but it can't stand the tacit understanding engraved into the bones of the two.

"The minister and his wife ** see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor. Say hello to the Queen Mother."

After kneeling, the emperor naturally shouted. And the queen mother and the queen also obviously smiled and gently asked the two of them what year the festival was. The people below listened to the people above actually took the initiative to ask, but they were all secretly surprised, and then looked at the looks of the three above, and they really looked forward to it.

couldn't help but have a few people who couldn't get used to Zhang Manho's martial arts, and they showed a look of watching a good show, thinking about how to fall into the well after a while, and how to make people think that the two of them were neglecting the royal family.

Sure enough, compared with the precious jade or famous calligraphy and paintings of others, Lin Baozhu only let people take a few inconspicuous red lacquered wooden boxes. She didn't care about the whispers and muttering of others, and said with a smile: "Hui Niangniang, the courtier's gift today is a rice variety developed by Peachtree Bay. ”

As soon as her words fell, she saw that someone on Wenchen's side began to shake their heads and plan to admonish, but before those people could look at Lord Changyue and the five princes of the right imperial palace, someone had already spoken.

"Lord Protector, you are too bold, but a few grains of rice are worth taking to your father to ask for a reward. It's really rude. The fifth prince glanced at Zhang Manchu below, and finally grasped a mistake in his heart, and then saw that Lord Lin and the others also began to echo. He was satisfied, so he naturally subconsciously wanted to see what the expression of the third prince above him was.

Which Cheng thought, didn't wait for him to be proud for a while, and saw the Queen Mother speak.

"Xiao Wu, I don't have to be so unstable, and listen to the husband and wife of the protector country." The Queen Mother rubbed her aching forehead, but it wasn't a reprimand for her grandson, it was just a Lin Baozhu's face.

Then, the emperor naturally did not show a displeased look, but waited for Lin Baozhu's next words. Judging from the things played by the crown prince Ruiwang, Lin Baozhu, this woman, is by no means an ordinary person who lives by ingenuity, and now this box of rice is estimated to have other deep meanings.

"Go on." The emperor bowed his head, because of the Queen Mother, but it was rare to give Lin Baozhu a soft and relieved smile, "If it is said well, I will have my own reward." ”

Now those five princes who want to fall into the ground, where can they still see clearly? The emperor intends to take it lightly, as long as Lin Baozhu's mouth is coincidental, and he says something good and obedient about the peace and security of the country and the people, it is just a handful of rice, and it is estimated that he can get it well.

However, what made their jaws drop was that Lin Baozhu really didn't follow their thoughts. On the contrary, he smiled respectfully: "This rice is different from the others, it is a variety developed by Taoshuwan itself, and the courtiers have asked people to try to plant it in suitable Zhuangzili fields in various places for two consecutive years, and the average yield can reach six to seven stones." ”

The units of grain harvest recorded in the Great Zhou Guān Fāng are mainly baht, tael, jin, jun, and stone. Twenty-four baht is two, sixteen taels are catties, thirty catties are jun, and four jun are stones. According to what Lin Baozhu said, the yield of rice varieties in the emperor's hands can be as high as nearly 800 catties per mu.

As soon as these words fell, both Wenchen and the generals were in an uproar, even if they were not farming, they also knew what Lin Baozhu's words meant. This means that if it can be successfully planted, the rice yield will double again. It is necessary to know that since ancient times, there has been a saying that people take food and clothing as the sky, and food and clothing are based on agriculture. The grain harvest is not only related to the vital interests of the people, but also related to the foundation of the country.

However, before everyone could digest the news, Lin Baozhu once again signaled to his father-in-law beside him to hand over a wooden box to the emperor again. And this time, when he opened it, it was also a kind of rice, but the appearance was something he had never seen before.

Seeing that the emperor was puzzled, Lin Baozhu did not sell Guanzi, and continued: "Back to the emperor, this is what Zhang Ji and several students who traveled to study found in some desert places in Mobei. Although the taste is different, as a porridge, it is smooth and edible, and it can also be eaten as noodles when ground into flour. What's more, this thing is very good to survive and is not too picky about the land, and it can be planted in the desert north. ”

Without waiting for the emperor to praise and sigh repeatedly, he saw Lin Baozhu send a wooden box again. At this time, the surprise of the ministers just now had already reached curiosity, and there was no other wave in their hearts at the moment except excitement.

"The rest are some agricultural and mulberry tools pondered by some later generations and craftsmen in Taoshuwan, and they have also been experimented by Zhang Ji and various Zhuangzi, all of which are feasible. Moreover, the waterwheel can also solve the problem of growing grain on the highlands without water, and the courtiers thought that the emperor could let the adults of the Ministry of Industry do another inspection. ”

Don't look at the emperor who manages the whole Zhou Dynasty, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but when it comes to agricultural tools, he is not necessarily proficient. However, when he heard that Lin Baozhu was so sure, and it was a major matter of agriculture and mulberry, he did not delay, and asked Lord Yanchang, the squire of the Ministry of Works, to come forward and watch.

Lord Wang is also considered old now, and he has been dealing with various tools all his life, and he can naturally see many ways compared to others. After seeing the transformed plough, as well as the extremely detailed iron rake of the cultivated land, and the drawings of the waterwheel, he couldn't help but get excited, and he couldn't help but ask Lin Baozhu carefully on the spot where the person who drew the drawings was.

"What does Wang Aiqing think?" The emperor listened to the subtle discussion below, and then looked at Wang Yanchang's expression, and probably guessed a thing or two in his heart. So at this moment, the expression is very pleasant.

"Back to the emperor, if these things are put into the farmland, I am afraid that the people's farming will be twice the result with half the effort. And the drawings sent by the Duchess of Huguo are not only limited to farm work, but also seem to have sericulture and textile tools. Saying this, Lord Wang turned to Lin Baozhu, and he didn't care about any decency or indecency, he was forced to be excited, and asked again and again, "Dare to ask Madame, is what the old man said accurate?" ”

Lin Baozhu nodded with a smile, in fact, at the beginning, she didn't expect that the eldest girl and the dog left Zhaodi would be able to lead the big guys to study so many objects. Sometimes she just mentions that if there is something and how it can be done, then that would be fine. Because she is not a professional farmer, and she has not learned any development tools, she does not understand the principle and structure even if she mentions it.

Which Cheng thinks that many times her unintentional words are really made by people.

Later, she simply followed what the teacher taught her in the philosophy class in her previous life, and told everyone in the private school that she should raise problems and solve problems, and don't underestimate a little idea at any time, so that she can form a steady stream of creativity.

And after the big girls came to the capital this time, didn't they bring all those results? And according to the account records of their experiments, they can indeed benefit the people.
