When he returned to the beast garden, someone came the next morning, and His Majesty invited him into the palace.

This time it's not the guard Shi Hu last time, he doesn't know him, so when he comes, he asks where Ren Baqian is, and His Majesty recruits him.

Ren Baqian was originally playing with Rolling Roll, and Rolling always wanted to break free from him.

After seeing the comer, Ren Baqian immediately greeted him and said, "I am Ren Baqian, I don't know what His Majesty recruited me?"

"If you want to go, you'll go, so much nonsense. The guard urn sounded the urn and said.

Entering the palace, it was still the palace last time, Ren Baqian didn't know what the role of those palaces in the entire palace was, but the empress seemed to like it very much.

"I've seen Your Majesty. When Ren Baqian was brought in, he saw the empress leaning on the couch dressed in red with her hair scattered behind her.

The palace was very cool, after all, there were still two pots of ice there.

"Come forward and speak. As for you, step aside. The Empress came in a slightly languid voice.

Ren Baqian took a few steps forward, bowed his head slightly, and waited for the other party to speak.

"Last time you said that there was a yield of 10,000 catties of grain per mu? Is this true or false?" asked the empress.

Ren Baqian's heart skipped a beat. The last time I said this, the person above didn't react at all. And he later asked Shi Steward about it, and Da Yao was actually very short of food. I've been speculating about what is going on.

Now the empress finally asked, and immediately said: "This thing is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato." The yield per mu is about 10,000 catties, which will fluctuate according to the situation of the field. But the worst five or six thousand catties must be there.

And this thing has an advantage, that is, the requirements for the field are very low, the plains, the mountains can be planted, the Dayao Plain is less, planting this thing should be able to solve most of the food shortage. ”

The Empress sat up straight when she heard this.

"Is what you said true?" asked the Empress in a deep voice.

"It's true, it's not the slightest bit false. Ren Baqian bowed his head and replied.

"Where is this sweet potato?"

"Your Majesty, give the minister an acre of land near the beast garden, and the minister can plant seedlings, and the results can be seen in four months. "Ren Baqian doesn't dare to say that he doesn't have sweet potatoes on hand now, and it will take two days to get them, it's too easy to leak, so he can say it in ambiguous words.

"I agreed to this matter, and I will wait a few months to see if I can really produce five or six thousand to ten thousand catties per mu. If it is done, I will give you a great achievement, and you can mention to me what you want. If not, you should know the consequences of deceiving me. The Empress said slowly.

"Your Majesty rest assured, I will definitely not dare to risk my head. Ren Baqian said.

The empress nodded: "That's the best." ”

After speaking, he lay down on the couch and said, "You said you could tell a story? ”

"Yes!" Ren Baqian took a few steps forward, seeing that the empress could see more clearly, a pair of phoenix eyes squinted slightly, the expression on her face was very gentle, and her originally heroic face looked a little softer at this time.

The red clothes are outlined on the body, showing the curves perfectly.

Ren Baqian's eyes swept over, then he lowered his head and began to think hard about what story to tell.

Journey to the West? That's what he likes the most, but he can't seem to talk about it. A monkey who makes trouble in the heavenly palace, this empress won't like it, right?

A gang of rebellious bandits, let alone talk about it.

Dream of Red Mansions, I haven't seen it.

It seems that only the Three Kingdoms can be told? Only this one is the most impressive, and I have watched the TV series a few times, although I don't remember the original text, but it is still okay to say it in the vernacular.

Except for the four famous novels, that is, "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", I can't remember anything else.

decided to talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ren Baqian cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, then I will tell a story that happened in the ancient Han Dynasty of Huaguo." ”

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.

How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

As soon as she recited a song "Linjiang Immortal", the empress said: "Although it sounds good, it is a dull feeling." ”

Ren Baqian laughed dryly, and then continued to talk for the first time: Banquet Taoyuan heroes three righteousness, beheading the Yellow Turban heroes to make meritorious contributions.

From time to time, the empress asked Ren Baqian about the names of some of the people, such as the Ten Standing Attendants, such as Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan and others.

When Ren Baqian explained, the empress heard about the "eunuchs" and first commented: "I heard that there is one in the Great Xia Palace." But the people of this country have been so ruined that they have become the rulers of a kingdom in vain. ”

When talking about the two queen mothers of He Dong, the empress asked suspiciously: "Why can't women participate in politics?"

"Well, in ancient China, women were not allowed to participate in politics. ”

"Whoever has an opinion will cut it, and when no one speaks, it will naturally be fine. The empress said disdainfully.

Ren Baqian thought about it, and this statement was reasonable. And there was one person who did it, and it did. It seems that this and Wu Zetian must have a common language.

At noon, the empress finished her meal, and Ren Baqian drank a sip of water and continued to speak beside her.

At first, the empress interjected a sentence or two from time to time, but then gradually stopped talking, and concentrated on letting Baqian tell stories.

At the end of the day, Ren Baqian spoke eleven times, until Liu Bei rescued Kong Rong and Lu Bu broke Cao Cao.

At the end of the day, his mouth was dry, but his spirits were very uplifted. I've always liked the Three Kingdoms before.,But I rarely discuss it with people.。 Now that he has met someone who has never heard this story, he finally has room to play, and the more he talks, the more excited he becomes, his spirit is getting higher and higher, and he is becoming more and more devoted.

When he got to the back, he even began to pace back and forth, gesturing with gestures from time to time.

The empress didn't mind, it was quite interesting to watch his dancing performance, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, but it was a pity that Ren Baqian was immersed in the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and didn't notice it.

The two palace maids next to them did not have the empress's various comments and thoughts, and they were extremely fascinated by the story, gritting their teeth for a while as the story progressed, and smiling for a while.

When it got dark, Ren Baqian noticed the sky outside before he stopped talking.

The empress threw down the "quite interesting" words, and asked Ren Baqian to go back and continue to talk about the rest tomorrow.

As soon as Ren Baqian heard this, he went back to reality tonight, where would he explain to the empress? Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates will prepare for cultivation and planting tomorrow, and they will also clear out a piece of land." After all, food is the foundation of the country, and it is urgent to have enough food and no longer rely on those businessmen. ”

The empress looked at him with interest, and then said: "This makes sense, the people's livelihood is a big deal. That's it, you go back and prepare that 'sweet potato' first, and then tell me the rest of the story when you're ready. Don't forget that you have an appointment with my Imperial Chef. ”

The two palace maids looked at Ren Baqian with some regret, and they were talking about the place that made people anxious.

I only hope that Ren Baqian will continue to talk as soon as possible.
