Comprehensive Video: Daily life from the courtyard

Lin Nan came back from Sun's mansion with a puzzled expression on his face. After Sun Xun asked a scientific examination question, he didn't say anything to himself.Then I was with my brother-in-law Sun Shijie again, and the other three brothers-in-law all left to do their own business.

But it doesn't matter, I don't want to chat with this old fox anymore, he is afraid that his city is not enough for Sun Xun to see, and he can't do it with one hand and one foot, so he should obediently find a thigh hug, Boss's sense of security storm shed.

Although Sun Xun didn't say anything to him directly, Lin Nan guessed that he had registered with Emperor Yongjia, which was good news.Work hard and rush to Emperor Yongjia to offer sweet potatoes and you will be stable.

The day of the palace examination finally came, and he waited early at the gate of the palace, and when the time came, he was taken to the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.Lin Nan was a little dumbfounded when he got the policy question, why is it still the Yellow River management question? Is Emperor Yongjia planning to drag these three hundred Jinshi to control the water?

But after seeing the people on both sides, no one showed any strangeness. Could it be that he made a fuss.Are the policy topics from previous years repeated?
Then answer it again according to the original answer, so you can finish it first.As soon as he sat down and stared blankly, he was taken away by his father-in-law.

Hmm, it's a bit of a novelty that you can leave early during the ancient exams?Don't you still have to wait for the top three?

But Lin Nan stopped thinking about it immediately, because when he arrived at Fengtian Hall, this was the place where the emperor went to court.

Lin Nan was directly brought into the main hall by this unknown father-in-law, "Your Majesty, Fang Jiading has brought you here".

"Caomin kowtowed to the emperor" Lin Nan knelt down and worshiped the emperor sitting on the head.

"Get up, gentlemen, let's take a look at this kid's test paper." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood.

Lin Nan only knew the emperor in this hall, and none of the other four, Eunuch Chang, Liang Jingguan and Sun Xun.

Sun Xun picked up the paper passed to him, saw the same answer as the last time, and wanted to pour out the water in the son-in-law's mind manually. What was he thinking? He gave the same answer to the same question. , can't you change it?Fortunately, it wasn't his son, otherwise he would be so angry.

The paper went around and returned to Emperor Yongjia, "Fang Jiading, what kind of cement is mentioned in your paper? Why has no one ever heard of it?"

"This is a recipe that I tested in Lingnan earlier. Quicklime and calcium carbonate are used in cement. Quicklime needs to be calcined at high temperature. Generally, it is difficult to reach the temperature of burning wood. Coke, that is, coal, is needed. Calcined Quicklime and calcium carbonate can be made into cement through special techniques," Lin Nan explained enthusiastically.

"It's a bunch of nonsense, no one has seen this thing before, who knows if what you said is true or not, you come here as soon as you open your mouth as soon as you open your mouth," a black-faced old man who doesn't know him said humanely.

Lin Nan glanced at the other ministers who didn't say it directly but also had the same meaning, turned around and said to the emperor.

"Caomin knows that what he said is unfounded, so he just put forward a reference opinion, but His Majesty Caomin has something else to report."

"What's the matter, let's talk directly." The emperor felt bored when he heard that Lin Nan stopped talking about cement and talked about other topics.But anyway, he is also the concubine's brother-in-law, and let him leave after finishing his speech to save face.

"Your Majesty, Cao Min was in Lingnan with his father in the early years. The quality of the land there was not good, and the grain output was too low. I mentioned in the book that there are high-yield grains overseas, so I went around and bought high-yield grains from overseas merchants.

Thinking of trying to cultivate and plant it there.But my father passed away as soon as I got the grain seeds, so I took them back to Taiyuan to study, and finally succeeded in expanding the planting this year, please Your Majesty to take a look.I estimate that it can produce about eleven or twelve stones per mu," Lin Nan said honestly.

The emperor stood up abruptly, "Whether what you say is true or not, you have to know that bullying the emperor will kill you."

The adults next to him also stared at me covetously, as if they would kill me if they said it was just a joke.Lin Nan couldn't help leaning towards Sun Xun, asking Sun Xun to help him share the pressure.

Sun Xun looked at the son-in-law who was leaning over, with a sneer on his lips.He didn't tell himself beforehand, but now he wanted to hide behind him, so he turned sideways and put Lin Nan in front.

"What the emperor Caomin said is true. I planted it in December and it can be harvested at this time. However, Caomin found that it grows best in March or July. Although the planting amount was small at that time, it could grow in half. More than 250 catties".

"I'm sure you can take it at any time," Emperor Yongjia took a deep breath and said.What is the concept of growing two stones from two parts of the land? This is definitely a big grain.

"Absolutely, I dug out a little yesterday and roasted it, it tastes absolutely sweet," Lin Nan recalled.

"I'm going to wake you up, you son of a bitch." When Lord An heard that Lin Nan was still digging out and roasting, he patted Lin Nan on the shoulder.

A few other people are also ready to move, especially Emperor Yongjia, but he has better self-cultivation, and he can maintain a demeanor on the surface and be fair to Chang Gong, "Now go and arrange the guards and the imperial army. I am going out of the palace soon."

The emperor and his party left the students in the palace examination and hurried to Zhuangzi.As soon as I entered the door, I saw that this small Zhuangzi was full of vine leaves.

"This is the grain you mentioned." Emperor Yongjia's face darkened a little.

"No, Your Majesty, the fruit of this thing needs to be dug out in the ground, and these on the surface can be fed to pigs and are not counted in the per mu yield of sweet potatoes." As he said, he asked old man Zhang and the Lin brothers to dig together.

Emperor Yongjia soon saw this high-yielding sweet potato, and it was indeed high-yielding. It should weigh three to four catties under the leaves of a vine.

"Your Majesty, why don't Cao Min cook it for His Majesty to taste at noon?" Lin Nan said excitedly.

"Tell me how much this fruit can grow." Emperor Yongjia was more realistic.

"Because this is a breeding seed that can weigh about forty catties," Lin Nan said after a calculation.

"Then do you still want to eat?" Emperor Yongjia asked with a smile.

Lin Nan shook his head firmly and said, "I mainly want the emperor to taste how it tastes."

Emperor Yongjia was right when he thought about it, so he gave Lin Nan the sweet potato in his hand and said to him, "Take these and let me have a taste."

Lin Nan boiled it directly, which was convenient and delicious, and soon came back with the prepared sweet potatoes.During this period, the imperial guards under the guidance of old man Zhang and others were also carefully digging up sweet potatoes. There were so many people that they quickly dug up half an acre.

When Lin Nan arrived, Emperor Yongjia and several adults gathered around the sweet potatoes that had just been sorted out, "Your Majesty, I have boiled the sweet potatoes."

Eunuch Chang took it and tried some, the emperor would only eat it if he was sure there was no problem.
Emperor Yongjia quickly asked, "How does it taste?"

"Back to the emperor, this sweet potato tastes sweet, soft and glutinous, it melts in the mouth, and the mouthfeel is quite good." Eunuch Chang said honestly, after all, the taste cannot be hidden, and the emperor himself will try it later.
