Before coming, Wang Shu was afraid that he would miss something, so she specially helped him sort it out.

Speaking of which, education can make a huge difference in a person. Two years ago, Wang Xuanzhi was still a child who could only cry, and when the shopkeeper asked more, he looked at Wang Shu. Now he can not only draw inferences and point out problems, but also put forward constructive suggestions on key matters. The changes brought about by an excellent teacher are significant, and Wang Xuanzhi is more than one teacher teaching.

Once a person has opened his mind, as long as his qualifications are not too bad, his knowledge and cognition will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The shopkeepers said goodbye to Wang Xuanzhi now, and the surprise in their hearts was like a stormy wave. Two years ago, the only male heir of the Wang family was submissive, but now he can be on his own. While the shopkeepers were relieved, they couldn't help but feel that the future was terrifying.

The outcome of this annual report is predestined.

There is no turning back when it comes to the relationship with the government. Again, Wang Shu is almost equivalent to making public the good breed that the Wang family secretly concealed at this time, and the Wang family naturally knows its seriousness. Even those who selfishly feel that it is a pity that they cannot use this for profit, and when they think that the child born by the head of the family is a royal person with pure blood, they feel that it is acceptable.

Since His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor has left enough retreat and dignity for the Wang family, they don't know what to do if they take Qiao again.

Since there is no controversy about this matter, the next question is how to cooperate.

It is not difficult to cooperate, as long as the goal is the same and strict discipline is strict, there will be no big mistakes.

In addition, some of the shopkeepers have a great interest in how to cultivate good breeds. In the past, they only knew that the Wang family's grain was transported from the grain farm, and they did not know the other secrets inside. Now that I know, some shopkeepers who know how to farm can't help but ask. Whether this experimental field must be in Liangzhou Prefecture, or can it be planted elsewhere.

"Naturally, it can be grown elsewhere." Wang Shu said, "In fact, when it comes to experimental conditions and planting conditions, Jiangnan is the best. It's just that because I'm in Liangzhou and my family is in Liangzhou, I set up the test field in Liangzhou Mansion. ”

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is suitable and the precipitation is sufficient. It can basically achieve two crops a year.

As soon as the shopkeepers heard this truth and thought about it, it was true that Jiangnan was the best in terms of grain production: "Why doesn't the master go to Jiangnan?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized that this was not true. The main family is in Liangzhou, the palace is in Liangzhou, and Wang Shu can't leave everything behind to go to Jiangnan no matter what.

Wang Shu didn't think there was anything wrong with this question: "I'm also considering what you proposed." In the future, if the opportunity is right, or if a suitable successor can be trained, you can indeed consider setting up a pilot area in Jiangnan. ”

The establishment of a test area in Jiangnan has greatly increased the operational space for experiments. However, while considering the planting conditions and natural conditions, it is also necessary to consider personal safety. Wang Shu now also has a shallow understanding that she is a 'wealth'. After all, she is the only one who knows the knowledge of hybrid rice in this era. If she has three longs and two shorts, there is really no successor.

Speaking of successors, Wang Shu has actually been thinking about accepting students. However, it takes too much time and energy to cultivate a student who can succeed her, and she may have the patience to do experiments, but she may not have the patience to teach students from scratch.

If a drudgery can be persevered, it can be regarded as a great thing for a thousand years. The problem is that it's hard at the beginning.

Not to mention this matter, the main purpose of this annual report is to agree on the goals and direction of the Wang family in the future. Since the promotion of good varieties remains unchanged, other businesses will naturally go in this direction.

The farm's planting tasks have not changed. In the past, the grain planted was supplied to the Wangjia grain stores in various places, and now the improved varieties planted will be supplied to the agricultural family first. The remaining varieties were divided into two parts, one part was kept for emergencies, and the other part continued to be supplied to the Wang's grain store. Within the business scope of the perennial running business, the Wang Family Dart Bureau has added a task of escorting good breeds.

This task is not too heavy, after all, spring ploughing is only in the spring of March. After a while, the dart game still does what it should do.

The biggest impact was on the business of the grain store. In the past, there were many types of grain sold by the Wang family. There are both those with and without shells, and they have different price points. However, in order to expand the scope of application of improved seeds, and also to prevent the seeds that Wang Shu worked so hard to improve from becoming a weapon to widen the gap between the rich and the poor in society, affecting the market balance. In the future, the Wangjia grain shop will only sell scooped rice and noodles to the public.

The most important group to promote improved varieties is the poor middle peasants, which is also Wang Shu's selfishness. In order to prevent the improved varieties from being monopolized by the feudal ruling class, Wang Shu had to break the sprouts of the rice that was sold.

As long as the embryo body is damaged, even if the improved seed is purchased from other channels, it will not germinate when it returns.

One more process has been added, and the grain stores have also sold a lot fewer varieties of grain. These need to be strictly controlled by the shopkeeper of the grain store. Whether it is rice or wheat, the varieties of improved varieties that are being promoted in the genus of agriculture have cut off all opportunities that may be exploited.

This will definitely affect the business of the grain store...... "Scooped rice and unscooped rice are two prices.

"It's already been made up." Wang Shu then informed Xiao Yanxing of the concession.

When the shopkeepers heard this, they fell silent.

“…… Now that the head of the family has made a decision, we will naturally obey the orders. The shopkeepers gave a positive answer in unison, and the rest of the operation was simple.

……

It took three days for this debriefing to get everything in order. After that, they left one after another.

As soon as they left, heavy snow fell in Liangzhou.

As soon as the cold wind blew and the road was closed by heavy snow, the sky was completely cold. The wind was howling outside the window, but Wang Shu had no time to rest.

Ever since she came up with the idea of taking in an apprentice, some things need to be prepared slowly. She did read books and did research for many years. But Wang Shu's talent in teaching and educating people is not high, especially teaching students with zero foundation.

Agriculture seems to be a discipline, but it requires too much foundation. In addition to basic biological theories, genetics theories, genetics theories, there are also basic abstract thinking, chemistry, mathematics, and statistical concepts. It is even necessary to master the necessary knowledge of geography and astronomy. She can't build a foundation for these things from scratch. Then the threshold for her to accept apprentices is bound to be very high.

But you can't stop teaching because it's too difficult, Wang Shu doesn't dare to say that she can live and never die, it's too unrealistic.

In the cold season, Wang Shu was bored in the study and worked hard to write.

It can be called a piercing cone of the head, and he tries his best to record the knowledge he can think of in the most understandable language. She is now especially grateful for her habit of organizing experimental reports and analyzing data, and from the very beginning of her research to the present, she has kept a full library of materials. Now, relying on this set of information, it has saved her a lot of trouble.

Now she only needs to supplement some basic knowledge in details based on the experimental data. People who have strong comprehension skills should be able to understand.

"Master, rest for a while."

Wang Shu is writing about magpies, I don't know. She only felt that Wang Shu was even more tired after she was idle. Others are all raising fat in winter, and their own master is in the cold, and the meat raised on his body clicks off, "Master Lin made some soup to replenish his body, and drank a small cup to warm up." ”

Wang Shu's eyes turned black, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the people who write books and speak are really hard.

At the end of the stroke, she carefully spread her paper to the side before putting down the pen in her hand. Turning her wrist, in this ancient time when there was no computer keyboard, she was stunned to write out tenosynovitis.

While picking up the soup cup and drinking it slowly, Wang Shu thought of Xiao Yanxing. That's how I asked.

At the beginning of November, Xiao Yanxing suddenly received news from Qiuzi, and left in a hurry without having time to explain anything. Since that day, Wang Shu has not seen him for a long time. The people in the Wang family's courtyard are watching every day, hoping that people will come back as soon as possible. Mama Jiang will go to Xiao's house to talk to Mama Yuan and inquire when she is free.

"Yesterday, the Mo guards handed over the message, saying that they would return tonight."

Wang Shu nodded, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Yanxing's twenty-fourth birthday was approaching.

Yes, this guy was born on a snowy day, no wonder his temperament is so cold.

In the past, Xiao Yanxing rarely celebrated his birthday with great fanfare, at least in the three years that Wang Shu was in his backyard, he didn't see Xiao Yanxing celebrate his birthday. Except for the gifts that will be sent one after another from all over the country, Xiao Yanxing has not mentioned it. Wang Shudang didn't know about it before, but now she only knew it when Han Xiaofeng mentioned her. She was a little hesitant now, should she say it.

"If the master is free, make a dress for His Highness." Mama Jiang suggested. Close-fitting items are sent out to make them more intimate.

Wang Shu: "......" She has never sewed a sock since she was a child.

Forget about needlework, she is now busy sorting out the materials, and she doesn't have enough time to sleep. She can sew a garment until she is blind. She pondered that if Xiao Yanxing had plans to hold a birthday, she would go to her private warehouse to pick out some valuable items. If you don't plan to do it, forget it.

Mama Jiang still persuaded and reasoned earnestly: "Since the master thinks of this, why don't you do it more beautifully?" The slave knows that the master doesn't like to play with these hearts, but this man's heart is all to be enveloped. People are like this, pay attention to a degree of relaxation. The master is always cold to people like this, and after a long time, sooner or later it will make people feel cold. When people are around, it's good. ”

I have to say that Wang Shu was a little stunned when Mama Jiang said this. When she thought about it, she did behave a little in her own way. If you are happy, you will take care of people, and if you are not happy, you will be cold.

Come to think of it, she went to the private vault in the afternoon.

In the end, I didn't pick anything. Xiao Yanxing didn't lack that little thing, Wang Shu felt that either he didn't send it, or he still sent it sincerely. After thinking about it, Wang Shu finally agreed to make a personal item for Xiao Yanxing. Forget about the clothes, she can't do such delicate work. Wang Shu pondered that she still had some expectations at hand, so she simply carved a hairpin for Xiao Yanxing.

also went to the private treasury to pick jade materials, and Wang Shu happened to see the wooden box that was taken out of the treasure vault underneath before. She hadn't opened it since she got it back, and at this time, her heart jumped inexplicably, and she took the wooden box back to the house.

She shook it, and it was light. Listening to the sound, it should be either a ledger or a letter.

The Luban lock of the wooden box seems cumbersome, but it is not difficult to open it if you find the right way. Wang Shu can dismantle it with a little research.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Shu finally opened the wooden box. The thing was thrown aside, Wang Shu pushed aside the scattered wood, and sure enough, he saw an unsigned letter inside. In addition to the letter, there was a piece of jasper and a small seal. The jade and seal are embedded in the wood, and they are stuck relatively tightly, and the sound is not audible when they shake. The letter was stamped on the top, not thick, and it was estimated that it was three pages at most.

With a frown, Wang Shu opened the letter.

Sure enough, there were three pages in it, one no more and one no less.

Wang Shu unfolded the letter, and the handwriting was that of his father Wang Chengjin. As if knowing that Wang Shu would open it, his letter was written to Wang Shu in a gossipy and homely tone. In the letter, he first told Wang Shu that she was the pride of his life and the most proud child in his life. A lot of worries and love for Wang Shu's future. Later, I told about Wang Shu's mother.

Wang Shu's mother, Liu, died of illness when Wang Shu was four or five years old.

Because of the long time, Wang Shu has a very shallow impression of her. I vaguely remember that she was a very beautiful woman, and outsiders would often be stunned when they saw it. Known as the first beauty of Qinghe. But his health is extremely poor, he speaks softly, and lingers on the sickbed all year round. My father took good care of my mother, and I wouldn't speak loudly. In addition, I don't know anything about where my mother came from and who my grandfather was.

The letter clearly told Wang Shu's mother the origin of the Liu family - it turned out that Wang Shu's mother Liu was the second daughter of Liu Yu, the assassin of Jingzhou. The show girl when the first emperor was alive did not enter the palace for many unspeakable reasons, and was brought back to Liangzhou by Wang Chengjin, who was out on a rampage.

Wang Shu blinked, feeling a little confused about her mother's identity as a runaway show girl.

Later, he explained that his mother Liu was not doing well when she was young. Since leaving home, I have been displaced all the way and have suffered a lot. In his early years, he encountered bad people and things, and his body was also corrupted at that time. Later, after meeting Wang Chengjin, he settled down. At that time, in order to conceive Wang Shu, I suffered a lot. After giving birth to Wang Shu, her health deteriorated.

Later, he caught up with Mao's white-eyed wolf, and for many reasons, he died young.

Wang Shu saw that there was an ominous premonition in her heart, she took a deep breath, and sure enough, Wang Chengjin told her below. If the Wang family encounters a catastrophe in the future, she is in prison, and she can use this jasper to seek refuge in the Liu family. If it is true that the Liu family can't save the near fire from far away, they can also take this seal and ask Xue Changfeng, the prince of Zhenguo, for refuge.

The letter did not state the identity of this Xue Changfeng, but Wang Shu's keen intuition chewed out the awkwardness in it.

Does her mother have anything to do with this Xue Changfeng?

His brows furrowed tightly, and Wang Shu picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. The jade pendant is in good condition, and it can be seen that the price is expensive. It is carved with a lifelike lotus flower pattern, and small characters are engraved on the back. Sunflower. If she remembers correctly, her mother's maiden name has a sunflower character in it. This jade pendant is her mother's personal belongings. As for this seal, Wang Shu raised his voice and called: "Magpie, bring paper and ink." ”

The magpie was waiting and immediately brought something over.

Wang Shu dipped a little ink and printed it on the paper - the small seal engraved three huge characters, 'Xue Changfeng'.

This is a private seal.

For some reason, Wang Shu's ghost reminded her of an incident in which Wang Ruyi asked her if she had any other sisters. said that she looked seven or eight points like her. Wang Shu looks like her mother, almost carved out of a mold. Similar to her, it can only be the cousin of the Liu family.

With a strange feeling in her heart, Wang Shu took the things back again.

I thought that there would be a confidential account book of the Wang family in it, but after all, it was in her private vault. I didn't expect it to be these things. Wang Shu didn't have much interest in contacting her maternal grandfather's family, and she didn't really want her cousin. The Wang family hasn't been in contact with them for so many years, and it is estimated that they have a little feeling, and they won't have much left.

As for this Xue Changfeng, Wang Shu didn't want to think about it in a too complicated place, so he could only guess that it was a relative of the Liu family or a close world friend.

Wang Shu only remembered the possible cousin, and Wang Ruyi met with this female relative who had six points of imagination with Wang Shu again. This is the plum banquet tossed by Concubine De, and many women in the court who have orders have been entertained.

Concubine De will always toss this one every year, as if she appreciates plum blossoms a few more times, and her temperament can be as noble as plum blossoms.

Wang Ruyi didn't want to come, the weather was so cold. She didn't have much interest in these flowers and plants, not to mention that Concubine De liked to toss some sour games. What flying flowers, what passing flowers as poems. Wang Ruyi doesn't even know many allusions, let alone poetry. She has a high rank, and others don't dare to force her to write poems, but it's really disturbing to watch others show their talents.

was not interested in such elegant games, Wang Ruyi stared at this woman who looked very much like Wang Shu.

The woman was not blind, she was looked at like this by Concubine Zhao, she naturally felt it. Several times she raised her smiling face at Wang Ruyi, and seeing that Concubine Zhao had been looking at her with an incomprehensible look, the woman gradually lost interest. Hide his face with a veil, pretending not to know.

After a long time, Wang Ruyi still couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

"The concubine is the son of the country who oversees the wine house." The woman was older than Wang Shu, three or four years old. The appearance is not as delicate as Wang Shu, but it is undoubtedly very beautiful. Every move is very famous, and it can be seen that he is very tall and well-educated.

Where does Wang Ruyi know what kind of official the sacrificial wine is? She didn't have a very clear idea of the various official positions in the court.

Thinking about it, he asked again: "I don't know which one it came from?" What is your maiden name? ”

"My maiden name is Xue." The woman's every move had a kind of elegance engraved in her bones, "Zhenguo Mansion." ”

In this sentence, Wang Ruyi basically concluded that this woman just happened to look like Wang Shu. After all, Wang Ruyi of the Zhenguo Mansion still knows that he is super noble and noble, and his ancestors have a title inheritance. Wang Shu, who was born in a rural merchant, how could he have something to do with the super first-class nobles in the capital?

Nodding, Wang Ruyi lost interest in continuing to ask. Feeling that it was getting colder, she shrunk her neck and got up to leave.

When she left, the people below didn't dare to speak. is Concubine De, and now she has to retreat from Wang Ruyi. It can be said that in the entire harem, the most popular one now is Concubine Lu of Changle Palace, followed by Concubine Zhao of Xingqing Palace. Although Concubine Zhao is not as favored as Concubine Lu Guifei, the emperor will go to her palace to see the little princess every month, at least twice.

These two times determined her lofty status. Others were sour in their hearts, and they didn't dare to provoke her in person.

The people left, and the plum banquet was quiet.

After a long time, it was lively again. On the contrary, it was the sacrificial wine lady who was chased by Wang Ruyi and asked about her background, raised her eyes and looked at the direction where Wang Ruyi left, and her brows slowly furrowed.

The maidservant behind her whispered, and the sacrificial lady shook her head, then turned her head and smiled at the crowd chanting poems against her.
