"I want to send you to Shu County." Ying Zigao looked at the gardeners and said solemnly: "I have decreed that Shu County should choose a place with rich water and soil near Dujiangyan to build an imperial garden. Your task is to bring These seeds were carefully cultivated in the imperial garden!"

While talking, Ying Zigao handed the black pottery jar to the eunuch, and said, "As long as you cultivate it smoothly and get a good harvest, I will reward you for your meritorious service and bestow you with the title of military merit!"

Upon hearing this, the gardeners couldn't help but get excited.

I heard that the gardeners who cultivated potatoes were sent to Saibei to teach potato planting techniques to the army living in the village.

As long as they have a good harvest, they can get the title of military merit, but they are both envious and jealous.

This time, he got the opportunity to try to grow new crops, and the emperor himself said that it was a success.Giving the title of military industry makes them all excited!
"Your Majesty, you have never seen such a small person before!"

Exaggeratedly looking at the corn seeds carefully, one by one couldn't help but feel worried.

The leading middle-aged craftsman boldly said: "The young ones don't know the habits of this new crop, and don't know how to start it..."

"You don't have to worry about that."

As Ying Zigao spoke, he handed the bamboo slips and a few pieces of silk cloth on the case table to the eunuch, and said, "This new crop is corn! I have sorted out the crop habits, planting techniques, and points that need attention. , recorded on this silk cloth!"

"Your Majesty, most of you are illiterate!" the middle-aged craftsman said hurriedly!

"Then are you literate?" Ying Zigao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, when I was young, I went to a private school for two and a half years, and I can read a few words!"

The middle-aged gardener said hurriedly.

"Then, can you read all the words on this letter? Can you understand it?"

Ying Zigao asked kindly.

"Your Majesty, I know more than half of it. I can also understand the general meaning!"

The middle-aged gardener opened the bamboo slips, looked at them carefully, and then spoke.

"I know that most of you can't read, so I specially drew the planting steps, crop habits, and precautions as graphics, and drew them on the silk cloth."

Ying Zigao pointed to the silk cloth and said seriously, "Look at the picture first!"

The gardeners then carefully opened the silk cloth and looked at it attentively.

"Can you understand?" After a while, Ying Zi asked kindly.

"Your Majesty, the little ones can understand!" The gardeners nodded one after another.

"It's good if you can understand it." Ying Zigao said: "After you arrive at the Imperial Garden of Shu County, follow the above method and carefully cultivate corn!"

"You guys understand!" the gardeners hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, what's your name?" Ying Zigao asked the middle-aged gardener seriously.

"Your Majesty, the younger one's name is Zhang Fu!" The middle-aged gardener said hurriedly and carefully.

Ying Zigao then asked Zhang Fu about his age and experience.

Knowing that Zhang Fu's family has been engaged in horticultural cultivation for generations, he has been a gardener for 20 years, and his horticultural cultivation skills are recognized as excellent, so he couldn't help nodding his head.

"Zhang Fu, I will appoint you as the leader of the cultivation team in Shu County!"

Ying Zigao said seriously.

When Zhang Fu heard this, he couldn't help but be filled with surprise, and then he was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm a little scared!"

"This leader, like the leader of the agronomy team going to Saibei, is a temporary position, not an official position!"

Ying Zi Gao said loudly: "However, it is the same as the Saibei Agricultural Team. As long as you successfully complete the task, successfully cultivate corn, and obtain a bumper harvest, I will reward you for your merit and promote you as an official official!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Zhang Fu suddenly became excited, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly!

"As long as you work hard and make contributions, I will naturally reward you!"

As Ying Zigao was talking, he took the black pottery jar from the hand of the accompanying eunuch, and handed it to Zhang Fu with both hands!

Zhang Fu hastily stretched out his hands and took the jar carefully.

"Zhang Fu, I have given you the corn seeds!"

Ying Zigao said seriously: "You have to work hard and plant this corn well!"

"Little understand!"

Zhang Fu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to plant the corn well, and I will surely have a bumper harvest!"

"I'm waiting for your good news!" Ying Zigao said with a slight smile.

After dismissing the gardeners, Ying Zigao picked up the bamboo slips again, and presented the papermaking technology of the Song Dynasty and modern glass production technology rewarded by the system.Detailed records are recorded on the bamboo slips.

After finally recording the technical information, Ying Zigao discovered that the bamboo slips had piled up on the desk to form a hill!
After writing so many small seal characters, my hands are tired and sore!

This made Ying Zigao unable to bear it any longer, and wished he could invent papermaking, the four treasures of the study, and woodblock printing right away!
It is necessary to create both regular script and running script.

It is really tiring to write the Xiaozhuan that turns around in this song.

However, after being the emperor for so long, Ying Zigao also knew that nothing could be accomplished overnight without patting the head.

You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to do things one by one.

The most important thing right now is to make the glass first.

He wins Zigao, and plans to use glass to build a solar greenhouse early, and cultivate the other half of the corn grain in the palace!
Once the solar greenhouse is completed, it can not only solve the problem of single diet in winter, but also sell off-season vegetables in large quantities to the dignitaries of Xianyang City!
The high-ranking officials in Xianyang City and even all over the country, wealthy businessmen and rich merchants, had to pay high prices to buy off-season vegetables as long as they wanted to get rid of the plight of eating radish, cabbage and pickles in winter.

Or buy glass at a high price, build a solar greenhouse, and produce it yourself.

This creates a huge market demand for glass.

This is another way to generate income.

There is no psychological burden for Ying Zigao to monopolize luxury goods like glass!

Wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who can afford to eat off-season vegetables and build solar greenhouses don't care about paying more!
After making up his mind, Ying Zigao called the steward and master craftsman of the palace colored glaze workshop over.

"I called you here because I have something special that I want you to try making!"

Hearing this, the great craftsman couldn't help but get excited secretly.

He knew that the emperor attached great importance to craftsmen!
A while ago, a blacksmith who made farm tools was directly promoted to a court official with 200 shi.

Gardeners were also sent to Mobei to promote potato planting.Once successful, a military title will be given.

Now I have such an opportunity!
Thinking of this, the glass craftsman couldn't help getting excited, and asked expectantly, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to make?"
