Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 818 I can’t control myself anymore

While being moved, Lu Mingyu didn't expect Qin Ning to be so cheerful. She had prepared many words but swallowed them all.

She smiled and said the third thing: "In addition, I have investigated the land in Zhuangzi, and the soil is particularly fertile. Now Daqin has found another grain with extremely high yield, and the person responsible for planting it is the Bai family. I believe that Daqin will soon You can buy enough food at very low prices up and down.”

"So I think it's a pity to grow food. I plan to divide the land into different types and choose to plant corresponding crops according to the different soils."

"According to current speculation, the entire Zhuangzi has nearly a thousand acres of land that can be used to grow mulberry trees, medicinal materials and flowers."

"In the spring, we collect mulberry and raise silkworms. The silkworms spin silk and sell it to make money. Medicinal materials are available in all seasons and can be sold as long as they grow well."

"Flowers are more valuable. When I was in southern Xinjiang some time ago, I discovered that girls in southern Xinjiang use flowers to make pigments, and the dyed cloth is colorful and moving. Flowers can also be made into essence. In a place like the capital, A bottle of high-quality essence can be sold for a hundred taels of silver."

"But everyone should be worried about not being able to sell what they grow. You don't have to worry about this. I will be responsible for the acquisition."

Qin Ning said: "It's not that we haven't thought about these things, but we just suffer from the lack of scale and no sales, so we simply don't think about it. If we can sell it, how can we choose to plant it? We can only fill it." What’s in your stomach?”

As for what to plant, Lu Mingyu had considered it.

It was only a matter of time before the Qin Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty exchanged goods with each other. Once the trade routes were opened, silk would definitely become a hot commodity with huge profits, and it would not take long for the mulberry trees to be planted and the mulberry leaves could be picked.

By the time the mulberry trees are planted and silkworms can be raised, the matter in Northern Qi should be almost settled. The time is just right.

Naturally, the purpose of growing medicinal materials is to use it in the academy she plans to open. She can't just let the master hold a book and talk about it, right?Students must see the real thing.

If there are ready-made medicinal fields, they don't have to waste time climbing mountains to collect herbs.In addition, when medicine halls for poor people to receive medical treatment are built, it will save time and effort to use medicines grown by their own people in the medicine halls.

As for flowers, that would be even easier. With the combined efforts of her and her master, they will surely be able to use flowers to develop various beautifying ointments, or essences that will make women instantly charming after using them. If it can make women become Beauty, why worry that they won't be willing to spend money?
After hearing this, Lu Mingyu continued: "I want to leave this matter to Brother Qin to help handle it. Brother Qin will have full authority to arrange it. If the planting is successful, everyone in Zhuangzi can also make money. This can be regarded as a confrontation between me and Zhaohua." Some thoughts from everyone.”

Qin Ning thought for a while and said: "I understand what Miss Yan Yan means. In fact, according to Miss Yan Yan's situation, managing a village is not a problem. Do you want me to check it?"

Lu Mingyu nodded: "That's natural. It's not that I can't trust everyone, but I also have my own considerations. Being unable to control yourself is the laziness of most people, because they don't have to worry about sales, so everyone may work hard at the beginning, but if If there is no one to check the situation, if you wait for a long time, you may have the idea of ​​​​taking care of things and doing things perfunctorily."

"Brother Qin grew up in Zhuangzi and is familiar with everyone's temperament. I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to Brother Qin."

Qin Ning agreed to the first two items, so naturally he would not refuse the third one. After hearing this, he said: "I agree to this matter, but it may take some time to persuade them to give up growing grain. In addition, mulberry trees can be grown in Zhuangzi." There are quite a few, but none of them know how to grow medicinal herbs and flowers. We still need Miss Yan Yan to find a few knowledgeable people to teach us."

Lu Mingyu said: "This is simple. When the time comes, I will let Xue Wei contact Brother Qin. If Brother Qin needs anything, he can tell Xue Wei."

Qin Ning said: "In this case, I won't have any problems."

Next, Lu Mingyu and Qin Ning discussed when to teach Dong Shi in Prince Qi's Mansion, when to start writing books, and when to plant the land with things that could be sold for money. Aunt Qin had just made arrangements for them to grow the land in the Qin family. Aunt Qin also invited Aunt Lin over.

Manager Qin went out to inform everyone about the land but had not returned yet, so Qin Ning, Aunt Qin, and Aunt Lin accompanied them for this meal.

When Lu Mingyu tasted the familiar taste, his vision blurred instantly.

All the past events came to mind, and she thought of that bitter and difficult winter, and of Chang Sun Tao who would vomit blood at every turn.

Without the help of these kind people, I wonder if they could have survived the most difficult time?
Aunt Lin saw it and wanted to comfort her, but saw that the majestic man had already taken out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, so she had to retract her hand and said softly: "Miss Yanyan, don't cry, everything is over!"

It's over.

Her Caocao no longer has to struggle on the edge of life and death, and her body is not as weak as before and gets fever at every turn.But every time she thought of those precarious days, she still had lingering fears.

Because of this, she felt how hard-won her life was now.

Lu Mingyu held the bowl and ate bite after bite. Changsun Tao rarely spoke, but did everything for her calmly.

Aunt Qin and Aunt Lin saw that Miss Yan Yan was so loved by her husband, and they were happy for Miss Yan Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

As for Qin Ning, it has always been difficult for others to see through this young man's thoughts. He is calm, wise, and thoughtful. He eats silently with a peaceful smile on his face.

Chengming Palace.

"My son, please see your mother." Emperor Yuanwu bowed to the Queen Mother and asked, "Why is your mother here?"

The Queen Mother looked at the cakes placed on the table. One piece was untouched. Her eyes flashed and she said, "Chunxi said that you are diligent in state affairs and the food is not delicious. The Ai family is worried. Come and see you."

Emperor Yuanwu smiled and said: "It's the son's fault that makes the mother worry."

The Queen Mother looked at the person in front of her who was very familiar to her, the child she had raised with her own hands. She still had the same facial expression, but it was different from the past.

"Emperor, although state affairs are important, you must also pay attention to your health. You have not liked sweets in the past, but you have been very greedy recently. I am not telling you that eating too much sweets will easily lead to diabetes. You still need to know how to exercise moderation and eat well. OK."

Emperor Yuanwu didn't explain anything, he just said: "My son has remembered what the mother said."

Such a well-behaved and docile answer made the Queen Mother's heart slowly sink. She was the emperor's mother. What was there that she didn't know about the emperor?

This child has always been naughty and rebellious. How can he be so obedient now?
What does this mean?
This shows that the child has grown up, has his own little secret, and has begun to separate from his mother. He is no longer as dependent and in need of his mother as before. Under the soft appearance, there may be a heart that is perfunctory.

And the mother couldn't hold him anymore.

Ever since she learned that her son suddenly liked sweets, the Queen Mother's uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart, and it was at its strongest at this moment.

She was full of panic, eager to find the shadow of the past in her son, but the more she looked, the more surprised she became - when did she start not being able to understand this son at all?
In order to verify that her son had not changed, she made a request to her son, a request that she actually wanted to make, but was worried about embarrassing her son, so she had suppressed it until now.

"Ce'er, the Ai family feels really sorry for you being so busy all day long. Why don't we quickly make a Zhongshu order to help you handle government affairs, so that you can relax more easily."

Zhongshu Ling is an official who assists the emperor in handling government affairs. He is responsible for reporting secret "sealing matters" directly to the emperor. His official position is not big, but his responsibilities are particularly important.

Generally, emperors would select edicts from among their cronies, or select outstanding people from trusted ministers.

Zhongshu Ling also represents the wishes of the Sacred Heart. Noble families and upstarts in the court all want Zhongshu Ling to come from their own homes.

But Emperor Yuanwu never made a decision. Under Qi Guogong's "kind words", the Queen Mother made her decision higher and wanted the emperor to choose an outstanding child from the Xiao family.

The Queen Mother believed that the emperor had the blood of the Xiao family and she had no reason to refuse the matter.

If the emperor refuses, it means that the emperor and the Xiao family are no longer of the same mind. If she still has her previous policy, how can she not think of her own family?
Emperor Yuanwu looked at his mother with a half-smile, his smiling eyes seemed to see through everything, leaving nothing to hide.

"Oh? What's your opinion, Queen Mother?"
