"Eh, eh, what do you say?" Seeing that she was shy, Zheng Shou felt that his heart was swinging.

But after all, this is a signing room, it's not good to come nonsense, and the practice that has been sued for decades by the supervising imperial history will be abolished. He shook his hands wildly, then quickly got up from behind the case and stepped forward to help Xiangyu up.

Holding her soft forearm and smelling the fragrance on her body, Zheng Shou's mouth was uncomfortable: "That, that, look, you, you are almost the same age as my granddaughter, how can you say such things? W-Where can this old man afford it?"

"The concubine's father and brother are thousands of miles away, and when they see the old man amiable, it is like seeing relatives. For a momentary gaffe, I hope you don't blame it!"

"Eh, how, how?" Zheng Shou smiled: "If the old man has a woman like Xiangyu, he has no regrets in this life!"

"Then ......, Xiangyu is bold, and in the future, I will call you 'Father-in-law, okay?'

This fragrant jade flickered in his eyes, Zheng Shou was half crispy, praised again and again, and said, "Don't worry, can the old man not care about his daughter's affairs?

The old man knows about this, you should be patient, and wait for the old man to find an opportunity to tell His Majesty about this matter. However, after all, the Khan will pay tribute in the future, and if you want to convince Your Majesty, I am afraid that he needs to express something!"

"It's not hard." Xiangyu said, "The Great Khan sent someone to bring a letter, saying that the road was too far away, and there were other departments in between, and he was afraid of accidents, so he hesitated and did not go on the road, but in fact, his heart had already flown to the emperor's side!

What he meant, if His Majesty made him a prince, he would lead his troops to conquer the Black Water Nuzhi, Baishan Khitan and Bria Eguzun and present them to His Majesty, and ask all their tribal leaders to come to Beijing for Hajj! Father-in-law, what do you think of this generous gift?"

"Hmm! Okay!" Zheng Shou nodded heavily: "If that's the case, then I'll be much more sure of convincing Your Majesty!" Hehehe......!" He took Xiangyu's little hand and gently patted the back of her smooth hand, a fire burning in his heart.

It's a pity that I can't take her down tonight, so I have to find a room to find a maid to vent my anger! He thought through gritted teeth.

The butler put Xiangyu in the car and went out of the side door, and when the gate slowly closed, a voice in the shadows of the car asked, "How?"

"What else, naturally I agreed to go to the emperor and say it." Xiangyu replied.

"Hmph, if you don't come out for a long time, I thought he ...... you." The man deliberately lengthened the tone, and Xiangyu reached out and twisted it somewhere on the other side. "Oh, you're really screwed? Be careful that I return the favor at night, the place is still up for debate!"

"Phew! Anyway, the Great Khan is not here, and he won't be able to see you even if I screw you all over!" Xiangyu said with some excitement, "It's done, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief, right?" You don't have to pretend to speak loudly."

"Hey! No, I can finally be myself." The light flashed, and a handsome and soft face appeared.

The man's hair was draped down and tied with a ribbon behind his head, but the hair was slightly curled and not straight, and a pair of bright phoenix eyes were impressive.

The man bent down and took out the flask and cup from the small cabinet, and filled two glasses: "Come, things are over, let's celebrate!"

"I don't," Xiangyu suddenly played a child's temper and puffed out her cheeks, "I want to have a glass of wine with you!"

"Hey, aren't you afraid of sweaty jealousy?"

"He's not in the car!"

"Good, good, you are the hero, it's all up to you!"

Xiangyu was happy, picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine with the man, and under the light of the candle, she saw the Adam's apple on the man's neck move - it was actually a man!

"Well, I've drunk a glass of wine, so what are you going to do tonight?" He looked at Xiangyu, who was as charming as silk, and smiled, but his voice was completely like that of a woman.

"Whatever you want."

"Your mother is just afraid that she won't!"

"She'll have to worry about the sweat's boning knife, too."

"Hahaha......!"

"Still, Marou, I'm still a little unsure."

"How?" That Marou put away a smug smile and asked quickly.

"I always feel that ......, this Zheng Shou may not have me

It's so impactful."

"Wouldn't it? Even Shousuke has to listen to him, how can he not be a powerful person?" Mahiro retorts:

"Besides, I have repeatedly confirmed from all sides, and now that there is a lack of Shangshu in the ministry, he is just like Shangshu. It is certain that the imperial court has the Ministry of Officials as the head of the six departments, so his position is not high enough?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Xiangyu was silent for a moment and asked, "You have been in Shangjing for a few days, have you heard of a Li Sanlang?"

"Huh? Who is this?" Mahiro is inexplicable.

Xiangyu pointed to the wall of the carriage: "This is the person who built this car."

"Ahem, I thought it was someone, it turned out to be a craftsman!" Maro waved his hand disapprerovingly.

"He is not only a craftsman, but also Lord Xiao Cavalry, Xie Yuan of Jiangnan West Road, a general who once led troops to fight without defeat." Xiangyu gave a general introduction to Li Dan's situation, and Zhenlang stopped talking and frowned.

"According to you, the emperor sent him guards and eunuchs to let the palace purchase his family's goods, and this person also has friendships with King Ding, King Fengning County, and King Fu? Then why hasn't this man been an official until now?"

"Because he is only 18 years old, he is taking the entrance examination this year." Xiangyu replied with a smile.

"He's not even eighteen?" Maro screamed in disbelief.

"How's it going, right? I heard that the emperor had sent a eunuch to wait for him outside the examination room."

"Do you want him to enter the palace?"

"No, there is an important government to consult with him. The eunuch was seen getting into his carriage, and the two men were in it for a long time, and then the eunuch came out, jumped on his horse, and hurried back to the palace with four guards."

"Hmph, I don't believe it!" Mahiro folded his arms: "Who knows what they are doing inside, how can they conclude that they are consulting state affairs?"

"You," Xiangyu wanted to say that not every eunuch is like you, but thinking that this was too hurtful, she couldn't help but say, "Zhenlang, the carriage is parked next to the Gongyuan, and everyone is watching, what can he do?"

Seeing that Zhenlang bit his lower lip and didn't speak, Xiangyu said, "Look, I think so, since the emperor trusts him so much, why don't we get in touch with him, even if we understand some of the emperor's thoughts from him?"

"Have you seen him?"

"What?" was asked by him without a head, but Xiangyu didn't react.

"I asked if you had seen him?"

"I...... I haven't seen it, but we have a good sister who has seen it."

"Oh? What kind of man is he?"

"Once the Four Seas came to look for a musician, and we went there with a few people. They came back and said that they saw this Li Sanlang tall and big man, his eyes lit up, and he spoke unhurriedly.

But then someone came looking for him, and he went out halfway. Oh, the man who is looking for him is obviously a man sent by the palace!"

"Hmph, tall and big, and your eyes are shining?" Zhenlang sneered: "I see, you just want to find a way to meet that kid ......, alas! Are you really pinching?"

"You're going to try it again?"

"I-I, be careful, I'm going to get my losses back tonight!" Maro huffed and folded his arms and looked out the window.

"Hehe, I'm just going to hook up your anger and see if you are honest these days? Eh!" Before Xiangyu finished speaking, Zhenlang had already turned over and pressed her under him.

The car shook violently, and the driver noticed the abnormality, looked left and right and saw nothing, shook his head, pulled up the brake lever and slowed down. The carriage was about to cross the Silver Gate Bridge in front of it.

After the big exam, this matter is the same for ancient and modern students, it is the most relaxed and unsettling day. In order to dispel this uneasiness, the students held parties and drank with each other under various names.

Among them, there are those who accidentally said the wrong thing after drinking, and as a result, they were sued by the imperial history, and they fell into the name of "not careful", and even were canceled from the results, so everyone is more engaged in poetry clubs or spring outings, so that there can be fewer absurdities and mistakes that young people can't avoid.

The Wen brothers invited everyone to play in Tonglin Garden. This garden is Zhao

The royal garden of the clan is made up of many rare birds and animals living and breeding in the pavilion, and its court supervisor is the king who has always liked animals and plants.

Zhang Wenhe was not in a high mood, because he was not very satisfied with his performance in strategy, and he was afraid that he would lose his ranking, and despite everyone's persuasion, his interest seemed to be unaroused.

Yao Huang is young and curious about everything, running and looking everywhere, looking like he has never seen the world at all.

Wen He has become an admirer of Li Dan since he knew that Li Dan was protecting King Ding and Princess Miyun, and as long as Li Dan was present, he would follow him every inch.

Wen Zhou is most concerned about the output of the carriage, he has already negotiated cooperation with Li Dan, and followed all the way to Jingshi, hoping to start with the carriage and get more product sales rights.

However, Li Dan has his own ideas, he plans to use Jiao Tong's people as the foundation to establish the post road carriage system and the trade road label protection team in Luzhou Prefecture, and then realize the combined transportation of cars and ships with the passenger ships in the Poyang Lake waterway!

They entered the garden all the way, and Li Dan was surprised to find that there were not only plants but also animals inside. It seems that this king really has a great future for cultivation!

Li Dan was pondering blindly, when Yao Huang came over and grabbed him, dragged him directly to a cage, and asked him, "They all say that you are well-informed, let me ask you why this monkey's arm is longer than other monkeys?"

Li Dan looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, why is there this here?" Realizing that he had lost his temper and was too loud, he quickly bowed and apologized, and replied, "This is not a monkey, this guy is called a gibbon, an ape and not a monkey."

"Huh?" Several people spoke in unison, and then looked at Li Dan: "What is the explanation for the 'ape crying on both sides of the strait?'"

Li Dan knew that when the teachers of this era were teaching students, ten out of ten people would tell the students: apes, they are monkeys! "An ape is an ape, not a monkey." Li Dan said:

"There are several ways to distinguish them. First of all, apes don't have tails, and monkeys almost all have tails." After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was nodding, he continued:

"Secondly, apes are larger than monkeys." Everyone still nodded. "Monkeys have a better sense of smell, and they rely on their sense of smell to find predators and fruits, so they have a longer nose with large nostrils.

But the ape is more like a human, it has better vision, big eyes, a shorter nose because it is not so important, and the nostrils are not so large.

Apes live in broad-leaved forests, are good at climbing branches with their hands and upper limbs, are closer to humans, and can walk upright for short distances.

The monkey runs on cliffs, grasslands, and swamps, and it needs to run a lot to avoid predators, preferring to run on all fours on the ground, forage for food, or move to a new station."

When he had finished speaking, several people looked at each other and said, "I see?"

"Saburo, is this what you are talking about?" A familiar voice came, and it turned out that King Ding was standing behind and had been listening: "I heard Zhou Yiwei say that I saw you enter the garden, so I rushed here, fortunately, I missed this class!" He said half-jokingly.

"If I knew Chitose would have listened, I should have put a broken bowl." Li Dan also made a joke after saluting everyone, and everyone was happy, and most of the tension when they saw the prince was eliminated.

"Hah! That's a good way to find a lonely relationship!" King Ding and the others said as they walked, "It has taken a lot of effort to make this garden, but there are still many things that I don't understand." He pointed behind him with a fan:

"This Huang Chengye, the deputy supervisor of this garden, I brought him over to meet with everyone, and at the same time listen to what your brother thinks of this garden."

"I don't dare to make a judgment." Li Dan crossed his hands and asked, "Chitose's original intention of building this garden was to collect all things and be a grand spectacle?"

"Well, that's pretty much what it means." King Ding nodded, "You see, the western half of this garden is mainly trees and flowers, and the eastern half is a slender lake in the center, and animals are stored around it."

"I saw a large number of roses planted near the gate, but they were used to make incense powder?" Li Dan asked.

"Li Jieyuan guessed well, but he only guessed half right." Deputy Supervisor Huang told him with a smile: "That place was originally intended to build a palace for His Majesty, but His Majesty felt that there was no need to waste money and waste the people's strength, so he had to plant fifty first

acres of roses."

"Chitose has a very good idea, and the minister is willing to help as much as he can!" Li Dan said, "Seeing that this garden is vast and there are many open spaces, why not bring in some birds, waterfowl, and more animals?"

"It's a lot of money to collect these things! I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be willing to give Gu this money." King Ding smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't have to be funded by the Imperial Court or His Majesty from the Inner Treasury."

"Huh?" King Ding glanced at Wen Zhou, he knew that Wen Zhou was a businessman. "Could it be that you are playing with the idea of the merchants again? Isn't that okay?"

"How can you say something that is profitable?"

As soon as Li Dan's words fell, Wen Zhou had already reacted, and crossed his hands forward: "Wen is willing to be the first person to sponsor!"

"Brother Wen, slow down, you listen to me first before making a decision." After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned to King Ding again: "Dare to ask Chitose, Fang Lin Yuan won't happen to be managed by you, right?"

King Ding raised his eyebrows: "You are really right, that is the royal garden, of course Lone is responsible."

"Great!" Li Dan stroked his palm: "Actually, the minister has always had a thought in his heart, and plans to set up two schools, one school to study plants, grains, grains, vegetables and all kinds of compost, and the other school to study animal husbandry and veterinary medicine.

If Chitose can agree to use these two gardens as places for apprentices to raise or plant, the remodeling fee can help you find a way!"

This suggestion was very surprising to the king, and he and Deputy Eunuch Huang quickly exchanged glances. Deputy Supervisor Huang asked, "Li Jieyuan, have the two gardens been changed?" That's going to take a lot of money!"

"Rest assured, money is not an issue." When Li Dan said this, he already felt that all the eyes around him were a little strange.

"That...... How is Xie Yuan going to change it?"

"I plan to focus on displaying, raising and breeding animals in the same forest garden, and set up animal departments, ape departments, bird departments (including waterfowl), reptile departments, fish departments and insect departments. Build a building to accommodate it, and decorate it with flowers and plants.

In Hong Lim Court, there are grass departments, forest departments, soft grass (containing aquatic plants and moss), and fern departments, which are connected by pavilions, bridges, and pavilions."

King Ding suddenly understood his intentions a little: "San Lang's intention, is it to be used by school students while being used for people to play?"

"Chitose Mingkan!" Li Dan flattered: "And not only that, animals and plants are raised or planted in the two gardens, which are not only used for the study of students' physical properties, but also for visitors to enjoy, popularize knowledge, and broaden the horizons of the citizens of Beijing.

It is conducive to the protection and dissemination of fine varieties, and also helps to improve the folk customs of the citizens of Shangjing, improve the image and status of Jingshi in the minds of the people, and make merchants and envoys from all over the world admire our vast ...... of heaven and earth!"

"So many benefits?" King Ding and Deputy Supervisor Huang were taken aback.

"Of course, there are many benefits!" Li Dan said with a smile: "Rebuilding this garden doesn't actually require the people to be recruited from all over the country, and the ministers can easily do it by using the help of the four compartments and the green skin.

In addition, the construction of agricultural and animal husbandry schools and animal schools can also attract a large number of people who are well-versed in literature and ink but have not been able to obtain the fame of the imperial examination, and after participating in the study of gewu, they can be assigned to various places to establish branch schools, veterinary stations, seed trading companies, and so on.

It is equivalent to finding a new way out for these people, and by the way, selling high-yielding and disease-resistant seeds, improved varieties and livestock to farmers. What kind of results can be achieved later, the minister can see it even if he doesn't say Chitose, right?"

When they walked to the lake, King Ding took a deep breath with his hands behind his back, and suddenly smiled and said, "Since everyone is here to visit the spring, how can you talk without poetry? You see, this verandah is still empty, even the pavilion.

All of you are well-educated, please leave Mobao, it is also a good story of this garden!" As he was talking, he had already seen Zhou Yuanlu with a few guards moving tables, chairs and the four treasures of the study into the pavilion.

Li Dan looked back and smiled: "It turns out that Chitose is here to fight our ambush, everyone doesn't want to be ugly, so let's search our intestines and scrape our stomachs, and show off our skills!"

A few words made several people a little itchy, and their feet sped up a little, and walked along the porch below towards the pavilion standing on the rocks and surrounded by water on three sides.

Seeing that everyone was seated one after another, Li Dan walked to King Ding's side: "Chitose lined up the troops and fought this ambush well. Please Chitose to write first

and set an example for us."

King Ding didn't answer, he looked at the lake from afar, looked at the scenery and whispered, "Qing suggested great kindness, and the lonely king was moved. However, a mere lip service is not enough. Do you know what it means to be lonely?"

"Understand ——!" Li Dan sighed and replied in a long tone: "It is to let the minister go back and write a detailed plan, and the key is to explain clearly the matters of fundraising, the use of income, and the labor force of the project. You mean that, right?

It's okay, I'll write it, anyway, I'll be idle for the next few days when the list opens, and I can't go out every day to visit the spring!" The corners of King Ding's mouth rose slightly, and he felt that it was convenient to talk to smart people.

"I slept too late yesterday, and I can't get out of bed today, so two cups of coffee can open my confused eyes. Eh, I'm waiting for a vote, have you all voted?"
