Chapter 95 Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
Jia Cong returned home to freshen up a little, put the iron plough on the carriage, and took a team of family members to Dai Quan's outer residence near the imperial city.
This is a three-entry courtyard, from the outside, it looks luxurious, Jia Cong stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It was a little eunuch who opened the door, and after asking what he meant, he let Jia Cong in.
Sending the accompanying gifts, a beautiful woman inside received him, this is the daughter-in-law that Dai Quan is looking for outside.
Once some eunuchs have power, they will buy houses outside and marry daughters-in-law to rush to the faΓ§ade, and there is no shortage of maids and subordinates, and they become big lords outside.
I don't know what they think, and they can't be humane, so I don't know who will be cheaper in the future.
Jia Cong saluted politely: "I have seen Madame, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing." β
The beautiful woman said generously: "Mr. Jia doesn't have to be polite, please sit down, I don't know what Mr. Jia is looking for?" β
Jia Cong explained his intentions, put a hundred taels of silver on the table, and pushed it in front of the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman smiled and said: "Gongzi Jia is really polite, Xiao Dezi, you go to the palace and ask, if the master is free to see Gongzi Jia today." β
"Yes, madam, the little one will enter the palace."
The little eunuch agreed, ran out, and went into the palace to deliver a letter to Dai Quan.
Jia Cong accompanied the beautiful woman, chatting without a word.
said that the little eunuch entered the palace, found Dai Quan in the imperial study, gave him a look, and called him aside.
"Godfather, a man named Jia Cong from Rongguo Mansion went to the mansion to find you, saying that he had something to offer to His Majesty and wanted you to help."
"Did you say what it was?"
"I said, it's the iron plough that cultivates the land, and he improved it himself, saying that it works very well and can increase the yield of crops."
Dai Quan didn't expect that Jia Cong's kid actually found him, but His Majesty has been paying attention to him, and he doesn't know what happened to His Majesty, so he became interested in that kid.
Is it because of what happened when I was a child, and I feel sympathy?
Since you want to dedicate it to Your Majesty, let's talk to Your Majesty and see what Your Majesty means.
With his own understanding of His Majesty, since he is so interested in Jia Cong, he should not refuse, and he is likely to summon him directly.
"You wait here first, I'll ask the master what he means."
"Yes, godfather."
Dai Quan returned to the imperial study and saw that the emperor was watching the recital, so he didn't dare to disturb, so he stood aside and waited.
Emperor Longqing closed the fold in his hand, looked up at Dai Quan and asked, "Is there something wrong?" β
"Back to the master, it was Jia Cong who looked for the slave and maid, saying that there was something to be offered to the master, and let the slave and maid help."
Emperor Longqing couldn't help but be interested, what would this kid give to himself?
"Oh! Say what it is? β
"Back to the master, I said, it was the iron plough that cultivated the land, and he said that he improved it himself, and the effect was very good, and it could increase the yield of crops."
Emperor Longqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, if he could really increase the yield of crops, it would be a good thing, now the treasury is empty, he can't make ends meet, and he has even reduced the use of the palace a lot.
If what this kid said is true, it is good news, and it will also be beneficial to the country's finances.
"Dai Quan, let that kid bring things over, I want to see if it's really as good as he said."
"The slave obeys."
Dai Quan bowed and bowed, slowly retreated to the door, and then turned to leave.
came outside and beckoned to Xiao Dezi, "Xiao Dezi, you go and bring Jia Cong into the palace, and bring in the iron plow." β
"Yes, godfather, I'll do it."
After a while, Jia Cong followed Xiao Dezi to the palace, and the two iron plows were also moved in by the palace guards.
When he saw Dai Quan, he handed over the drawings of the iron plough he had prepared and some planting materials to Dai Quan.
"I've met Grandpa Dai, this is some information I wrote, so I'll trouble you to pass it on to Your Majesty."
Dai Quan took it and looked at it: "Jia Gongzi will wait here first, I will go first and present it to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty sees you, I will come out and call you." β
"Father-in-law Dai, please."
Dai Quan took the materials into the imperial study, and two iron plows were also sent in.
Emperor Longqing looked at the iron plough on the ground, it was indeed different from the plough in his impression, this thing could really work?
Dai Quan handed over the information, "Master, this is the information brought by Jia Cong." β
Emperor Longqing stretched out his hand to take it, returned to his chair and looked at it.
The top one is the drawing of the iron plow, and after taking a look at it, I put it aside and looked at the information below.
As the pages passed, the expression on Emperor Longqing's face gradually became solemn, although the things written in it were very simple, but they were very important.
For example, this kind of seed, if you choose a full grain, it will definitely grow vigorously, but most farmers can't eat enough, where there are still good seeds, just get some seeds and plant them, and the harvest will naturally be affected.
But how many people can see these things? And how many people can do it?
This kid is not big, but he has a lot of ideas, and it is really good to have this thought, if he can do what he said, it will be beneficial to the country and the people.
Closing the information in his hand, he looked at Dai Quan and asked, "What about the kid?" β
"Go back to your master, wait outside."
"Call him in, I'll see what kind of character he is."
Dai Quan came outside, explained some etiquette, and brought him into the imperial study.
After Jia Cong entered, his eyes quickly swept around, determined the emperor's position, lowered his head, and bowed down.
"Grass people Jia Cong knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Long Qing looked at the kneeling young man below, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, this kid saw me for the first time, he was not timid at all, and he glanced at it a few times when he entered the door, which was a little interesting.
"Let's be flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jia Cong stood up, stood to the side with his hands down, and waited for the emperor's inquiry.
"I heard that you are practicing martial arts in Zhuangzi and training family Ding, but is there such a thing?"
Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and you can see thousands of miles, the grass people do practice martial arts on Zhuangzi, and by the way, they train some family members, and prepare to enter the army when they become adults and serve Your Majesty." β
Emperor Longqing smiled even more when he heard this, this little guy actually knows how to shoot sycophants, and this sycophants are very standard.
"You want to join the army? Don't you know that it's dangerous to go to war? How did you have such an idea at such a young age? β
Jia Cong was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the grass people are concubines in the family, and everything in the family will not have my share in the future, so I can only plan for myself in advance and find a way out for my future." β
Emperor Longqing nodded, looking at the young man's slightly dark face and thin figure, he suddenly thought of the days before he succeeded to the throne, and his heart was inexplicably a little pantothenic.
