There was a dullness between Azure Mountain and Wei Shen, and the two were silent for a while. There was a sound of soft footsteps in the courtyard, and an attendant reported aloud from within the courtyard that Zheng Yuming, the governor of Nambu, and Chu Chaohui were seeking an audience with Uisanjun.
"I have the pleasure of inviting the two governors." Gong Ziguang straightened up and sat upright.
Wheat has already been harvested in the fields of Nambu Village, and the wheat fields have been reclaimed with iron plows. In a few days, water will be pumped into the fields by water trucks, and when the wheat fields become paddy fields, Nambu Village will be planted with seedlings just like the valley, and instead of planting beans and corn, rice will be grown.
Transmitted to the rice has thousands of kilograms, rainy days can not work outside, Zheng Yuming let the slaves in the mud house pick pick pick rice, pick out deflated particles and debris, there is a bag of rice also picked out the glutinous rice, glutinous rice and terrier rice appearance is slightly different, glutinous rice glumes are smooth, full grain, slightly round, japonica rice grain is broad and short, thicker, oval or oval, to be carefully recognized to differentiate between, but these subtle distinctions but let Huo Sihua found, the girl was so happy to hold Huo Sihua to throw in the air and then catch. This careful girl holding two kinds of slightly different rice with Zheng Yuming reflect, Zheng Yuming happy to pick up Huo Sihua thrown in the air and then catch. In ancient times, glutinous rice was a very good adhesive.
After some screening, Zheng Yuming instructed the slaves to soak the rice grains with biogas. This method of seed soaking was created by people in the comprehensive utilization of biogas, the seeds soaked in methane compared to water soaking, the seed fertility is more adequate, the seedlings are more resistant to cold, disease, and resilience.
Thousands of kilograms of rice screening out more than five hundred pounds of rice for seed, more than five hundred pounds of rice seed out of seedlings can be planted more than three hundred acres of paddy fields. The valley reclaimed more than fifty acres of paddy field planting, more under will be planted all the way to the south port, the south port of the existing grain field of about a thousand acres, now enough conditions to plant rice on more than four hundred acres.
Rice seeds in the valley and Nambu rice paddies scattered, to the middle of the fifth month of the lunar calendar can be planted seedlings, Zheng Yuming in the planting of rice seedlings before a little free, this moment Chu Chao Hui in the valley to pound out the paper.
Although they know how to make paper, but in the lack of modern technology to create paper is not white paper, but yellowish, a little rough paper, Zheng Yuming took the finished product in the hands of Chu Chao Hui, smiled and said that there is no shortage of toilet paper. This paper in the twenty-first century, is not enough to qualify as toilet paper.
The appearance of the first paper is not too beautiful, in this time and space is a remarkable achievement, the former time and space Han invented it in the Western Han Dynasty, while the European countries to the twelfth century later to learn how to make. After the paper was made, the illiterate slaves and craftsmen in the valley did not know its significance, that only know a hundred words of Fan Zin but surprised exclaimed, this time and space to use the brocade and silk writing is too expensive, bamboo is too bulky and heavy, the emergence of paper just to solve these two problems, and can be better dissemination of culture. Fanjin now knows more than a hundred characters, and he now joins the three children at night and is one of the most accomplished students. The somewhat literate Fan Zin was one of the first slaves in the valley to recognize the value of paper.
Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui came to pay their respects to Azure Mountain Jun this time, they came to offer paper to Azure Mountain Jun. All the foundations of the two of them have to be entrusted to the shelter of Azure Mountain Jun, and this horse's ass can't be ignored.
"What is this?" Azalea-kun touched the yellow paper on the desk in amazement, the thing felt like cloth and not cloth, it was also much thinner than cloth.
"Huh." Wei Shen held a piece of yellow paper in his hand, he thought it was a kind of cloth, he didn't want to exert a little bit of force, this cloth-like thing even tore open.
"Your Excellency! This is paper that can be used for writing." Zheng Yuming stepped forward to explain.
"Paper? Writing?" Gongzi Guang's eyes glowed, "Waiter, bring a pen and ink."
Gongzi Guang looked eager, and Wei Shen also looked concerned.
"The ink will not dry for a few moments." Chu Chaohui stopped Wei Shen from touching it with his hand after Gong Ziguang finished writing.
"Good thing! With this paper, what need is there for brocade and bamboo slips." Gong Ziguang took the paper with the written words and looked at it carefully, writing on paper felt the same as writing on brocade.
"Is this paper difficult to make?" Wei Shen asked Chu Chao Hui about the cost of the paper, if the paper was as expensive as the brocade, it would be pointless to make it any better.
"Not hard to make, just made from the fibrous decay of trees, or boiled and pounded."
"The home of the two governors is so desirable! So much so that it seems omnipotent." Gong Ziguang put down the paper and lamented. Who would have thought that trees could be made into such things when they decayed?
"What is Bermuda really like? Is your country's monarch very wise?" Wei Shen stroked his beard and asked, taking a keen interest in this overseas country.
"The monarchs in my home country don't run things much these days." Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui did not say that the twenty-first century countries were dominated by democratic regimes, but brought the British constitutional monarchy as the administrative polity of the fictional Bermudian state. Preaching democracy in front of the slave aristocracy was a prelude to finding death.
"Such a good monarch can stand alongside Yao and Shun." Gong Ziguang had appreciation in his eyes when he heard that the royal family merely acted as representatives of the country without actual power, yet they were loved by the nation.
"There are other vassal states in your homeland, are there not? Are the kings all like that?" Wei Shen stroked his beard in contemplation.
"There are also monarchs who hold all the power." Things like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, etc. have monarchs who hold all the power in the country.
"Secretary Zheng and I will talk about the wise monarch of Baimu." Gong Ziguang had already asked the waiters to set up a banquet to entertain Zheng Chu, and he and Wei Shen sat at the top, while Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui sat on either side.
There were many wise monarchs in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, and Zheng Yuming briefly said something about Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Very little is said about dull things, mostly about some interesting things about these monarchs.
"This Tang Xuanzong knows people well, rewards and punishments are clear, and his work is skillful and decisive, so he will surely create the foundation of ten thousand generations." Zheng Yuming Zheng said that Tang Xuanzong used Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang Jiuling as his phases, creating the flourishing era of Kaiyuan, Gong Ziguang could not help but socket praise.
"This..." Zheng Yuming stopped his mouth, Tang Xuanzong didn't create the foundation of the world, but almost died.
"Did this emperor become comatose later?" Wei Shen heard the pause in Zheng Yuming's tone.
Since Wei Shen asked, and asked to the point, Zheng Yuming will be the Tang Xuanzong late favor Yang Guifei, only focus on enjoyment, ignore the government, and in the end ended up abandoning the capital fled, the mutiny of the forbidden army, the love of the consort was hanged, he had no choice but to Shan position.
"The treacherous concubine is wrong for the country!"
Gong Ziguang's tone was filled with disgust for Yang Guifei. Chu Chao Hui could not help but take a closer look at Gong Ziguang at his words. Zheng Yuming in the description of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei love, did not say that Yang Guifei in the palace before the Tang Xuanzong's daughter-in-law, Yang Guifei into the palace to follow the feudal system of the court, but not ask about court politics, do not meddle in the struggle for power to their own charm and meekness and over the top musical talent, by the Emperor Xuanzong's hundred and one favors, Yang Guifei's tragedy lies in a gang of extravagant, arrogant relatives, there is an obsession with pleasure, not thinking about the government, people for this thirty-eight-year-old constrictor, the husband, the husband, the husband, and the husband, the husband is the only person in the world who has ever had a good time. Not think of the government of the husband, throughout the ages, people for this thirty-eight years old was hanged in the Mawei slope woman full of sympathy. But Gong Ziguang heard but hated this poor woman the most, here perverse!
"After all, Tang Xuanzong was a wise lord, and in the end, he still put the foundation first and handed over his favorite concubine to the soldiers." Chu Chao Hui said while keeping a close eye on Gongzi Guang's complexion.
"Right! A state lord should have been focused on the foundation." Gong Ziguang agreed with this statement.
"Tang Xuanzong, on the one hand, had the foundation as his top priority, and on the other hand, he was also compromised by the force of his ministers." Zheng Yuming raised his eyes to look down at Chu Chaohui, who also noticed that Gong Ziguang was a bit of an anomaly.
"Forced by force?" Wei Shen lowered his eyes and pondered, now that the Hussar General had already shown his attitude, would the King of Wu still insist on being alone?
"Both of you, nowadays, there is a country's lord who favors a Ji, and wants to abolish the eldest and set up the youngest son of Ji Sheng, and the military generals in the court are protecting the eldest, can the Crown Prince be at peace in such a situation?" Gongzi Guang inquired towards Zheng Chu and the two men, he felt that the two men had seen a lot and would have insight into this situation.
"Do military generals have military power?" When Chu Chao Hui heard this, he immediately presumed that this had something to do with Gong Ziguang.
"No, the military talisman is in the hands of the State Lord." Gongzi Guang's heart sank.
"The Crown Prince is in danger." Chu Chaohui asserted.
As soon as Chu Chao Hui said these words, Gong Ziguang and Wei Shen's faces began to turn white.
"Is the Crown Prince's mother clan powerful?" Zheng Yuming broke the silence.
"The Crown Prince's maternal uncle is the lord of a country, but it doesn't intersect with this kingdom, that lord and his sister have the same father and mother, and they don't have a deep bond." Gongzi Guang sighed and spoke slowly, what he meant was that the Crown Prince's maternal uncle would not contribute to help.
"Helping does not require feelings." Chu Chaohui smiled, "As long as the prince gives his maternal uncle benefits heavy enough, then the lord of the country will help each other, not to mention that the abolition of the eldest and the youngest this matter is rude everywhere, the prince's maternal uncle does not need an excuse to rise up to do justice for their nephews, a lord of the country in his heart as long as there is still the ancestor's foundation, do not want to make a big fuss, the matter of abolition of the eldest and the youngest will not be brought up again."
"Letting the lord of your maternal uncle's country crusade against your own country?" Gong Zi Guang clearly resisted this method.
"Not a real crusade, just a cosmetic threat. With the lightest cost to get the greatest benefit." Chu Chao Hui actually does not care about how much interest this prince cedes to his maternal uncle, he has guessed that this happened in Wu, now the valley feathers are not yet, he does not want to have changes in Dacheng, the valley development needs time, as long as it can make the situation of Wu to maintain the immobility, Wu Prince sends half of Wu to do favors have nothing to do with him.
"Haha! The two are worthy of being the elite of the Bermuda Kingdom." Wei Shen laughed long and loud to turn the topic away, and a few moments later, he excused himself to relieve himself and went to seek out his beloved, carefully explaining to his beloved, and then asked his beloved to rush off to Wu Du with a fast horse.
A month later, a message of thanks from Crown Prince Zhao came back from the capital city of Wu. Gongzi Guang and Wei Shen also fully understood the beginning and end of this crisis.
After the King of Wu fell ill, Ri Ji took control of the palace, and Prince Zhao was always blocked by the attendants to see the King of Wu. When he managed to find out that the King of Wu was sick and tried to force his way into the palace to see the King of Wu, the King of Wu sent his close friends to meet with Prince Zhao and asked Prince Zhao to think of a way to make a happy marriage for his father, and the witch doctors in the palace unanimously believed that only if his own son made a happy marriage for his father, the King of Wu would recover from the illness and be healthy. The attendant who came to summon him was the most trusted person of his father, and Crown Prince Zhao was so convinced that he went back to his palace and hurriedly took his wife. Only when he is reprimanded by the King of Wu, Prince Zhao realizes that he has fallen into the trap of Yi Ji, who is already in control of the palace, and has tricked him into the trap by sending him a fake imperial edict.
When Wei Shen's beloved went to meet Crown Prince Zhao, it was the time when Crown Prince Zhao was in the most danger, and when he got Wei Shen's idea, Crown Prince Zhao immediately sent a fast horse to rush to Zhao's activities.
As the king of Wu was preparing to draft an edict of abolition, a letter of state from the king of Zhao arrived at the court of the king of Wu, and Zhao was already preparing to send troops to attack Wu and seek justice for his nephew.
The king of Wu received the letter of state was shocked, this uncle of his has never cared about the affairs of the state of Wu, this time the sudden rise of the army, the king of Wu incredibly, and quickly sent people to the border to check, the scouts returned the news is that the king of Zhao has taken troops to the Zhao, Wei border, as long as the king of Wu down to abolish the Prince Zhao, he immediately borrowed the Wei into the army of the state of Wu. As soon as the king of Wu made a move to abolish Prince Zhao, he immediately used Wei as a route to enter the state of Wu.
The king of Wu was silent for a moment when he got the news, and ignoring Ri Ji's weeping, he issued an edict to pacify Prince Zhao, declaring that Prince Zhao will be the only legitimate heir of Wu, and that if anyone else discusses the abolition of the kingdom, all of them will be exiled and punished.
Prince Zhao was safe, and the king of Ulsan was secure, and the lord of Zhao was satisfied, for he would only go to the border hills for some hunting, and later he would get a city from his nephew. Ri Ji did not suffer any loss, the king of Wu was ready to grant the East Sea coast to Ri Ji's son Yong as a fief, the East Sea coast produces salt, half of the revenue of the treasury of Wu in money and silk is the sale of salt in the East Sea to pay up.
In the month of July, Zheng Chu and the two of them received a large amount of rewards from Gong Zi Guang, money, people and horses, Chu Chao Hui looked at the book of rewards and let out a long breath. "Zheng Mingyu, in the future, you will have to manage the agriculture and labor, I have to prepare to train slaves and develop our own armed forces." The crisis of the abolition of the crown prince of Wu, so that Chu Chao Hui can not wait until the material foundation is solid to develop self-protection ability.
