Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

A few months later, the four high-yielding crops planted by Zhang Wen and Xu Ping began to mature one after another, and they quickly contacted Situ Ying.

And through Situ Ying, he presented the things.

This was something they had agreed upon earlier. Even Situ Ying was a little tempted to take credit for introducing high-yielding crops, but considering that he was already quite famous now, if he didn't want to rebel, taking the credit would be purely superfluous, or even unnecessary. Provoking fear.

So after thinking about it again and again, he finally did not break the original agreement and sent the things to the court.

The source was changed to overseas improved varieties, which were discovered by the ancestors of the Zhang family. After being brought home, they were cultivated for several generations to adapt to the local environment, improve the taste, and increase the yield. Now I met Mingjun and specially presented the improved varieties, etc.

The current emperor, who is already over sixty years old, is worried that he is not good at civil and martial arts. He may not be able to leave his name in history after his death, and he will have to be a mediocre king.

After receiving the news, although he did not believe that the output would be so high, he still held the attitude of preferring to believe that it existed rather than believe that it did not exist. He specially sent three people, including the censor, the Ouchi eunuch, and the royal secret guard, to check. .

But the facts are facts, and they will not change just because there are more or less people sent to check the authenticity.

In addition, there were several experimental samples specially planted in large water tanks, which were quickly sent to the capital and directly sent to the emperor. Seeing is believing. When these circumstances are added together, you really have to believe it even if you don't believe it.

Under normal circumstances, the next step should be to give a small reward first, and then take the seeds to Huangzhuang near the capital and plant them again, or even go to places across the country that are suitable for planting these four new crops and plant them again to thoroughly determine the yield. There is no doubt that after you can plant it, you can give the final reward, which is enough to make you a prince.

But, the current emperor feels that he is not young anymore, and he might die one day.

If he dies and this matter has not been completely settled, then his son will take advantage of it and share most of the credit. Therefore, he will deal with this matter in a hurry. The son was decided, and at the same time as announcing it to the world, the corresponding imperial edict was also issued.

Zhang Wen was granted the title of Marquis of Shennong.

Xu Ping is Mrs. Anguo.

Originally, the name Shennong had some royal connotations. After all, Shennong was one of the three emperors and should not be used as a title for a marquis. But who makes the current emperor happy? When he is happy, he speaks gold and gold, and it is difficult to change. So he became Shennonghou.

As for giving Xu Ping the title of Mrs. Anguo, this is a title that theoretically only the head wives of the duke or above are eligible for. The main reason is that the emperor felt that it was a bit low to give such a big credit to a marquis, but he should directly give it to a minister with the title of duke. But I don't agree. After all, the title of Marquis Shennong is not a first-generation title, it can be hereditary and replaceable.

That's why the favor was extended to Xu Ping.

But in any case, the Zhang family's goal has been achieved, so everyone can be considered happy. Moreover, after such an incident, not only has Situ Ying's reputation in the world been raised again, but there are still a very small number of people who still have a vague feeling that the Zhang family has a relationship with them. Situ Ying broke through the people with innate connections and completely gave up this idea.

how to say?

The world now generally believes that the reason why Situ Ying accepted the three children of the Zhang family as his disciples was because he discovered that their family had high-yield and high-quality seeds, so he accepted the children of the Zhang family who would definitely make great contributions and who might be able to enjoy national sacrifices after their death. Disciple, it is purely an investment.

The second thing is that when he discovered this incident, he did not directly silence the Zhang family, took the credit for himself, and even actively helped, which is a very noble character!

No matter how some people secretly think he is stupid.

It doesn't affect everyone's sincere willingness to make friends with such people. After all, they are not moved by such great achievements, so why should they not be trustworthy?

In addition, this incident has also brought a lot of trouble to the Zhang family, that is, the threshold of his family is almost being stepped down, and there is an endless stream of people who want to marry, including some nobles from aristocratic families, and even Prince Yu began to send people to contact him privately, hoping to marry his family.

I want to marry my daughter into their family.

Or let their son marry their granddaughter.

There is no way, food is the most important thing for the people. If any prince can pull their family onto his chariot, it will definitely greatly increase his own weight. Moreover, in a few years, the four major new grains will be completely promoted. back.

The throne is basically stable.

Who else?

This aspect indeed brought great trouble to the Zhang family and gave them a lot of headaches, because the fight for the right of inheritance was something they were not willing to get involved with. In the end, because Zhang Hui did not want to get married for the time being, she directly He became a monk and built a Taoist temple at home for practice.

Of course, that's just on the surface.

If you want to get married someday in the future, then you can return to secular life.

Zhang Ze, on the other hand, did not become a monk. He had a very thoughtful discussion with his master, and then went on a blind date directly at his master's house. In the end, he and the Situ family had to observe filial piety for six years because their parents died one after another. At the same time, they were also married to other families. Feeling unlucky and never getting married, Situ Fang, a 23-year-old side branch, got married this year.

But even so, there are still people who want him to take a concubine.

It wasn't until he finally had no choice but to tell the public that his family had always been a couple for life, and they would never take a concubine unless they were still childless at the age of 40. Only then did he reluctantly calm down the noise and make his family quiet again.

As for the turmoil behind the scenes, their family is not that sensitive. In addition, they have the protection of the Situ family and the protection of Qu Jie, so naturally it will not harm them.

Next, Zhang Wen and Xu Ping are still farming, but they have taken on some disciples while farming, and under the banner of farmers, they have passed on some knowledge such as cross-breeding to those disciples.

After all, good seeds will also degrade.

Without sufficient agricultural talent support, the output of the four new high-yielding crops will inevitably continue to decrease in the future. If some diseases and insect pests appear again, there will be big problems.Although there won't be any problems in the short term, they can't just think about the short term. They have to prepare in advance for some things that may happen in the future and reserve some talents, so that no one will use them when the time comes and it will be too late to urgently train them. .

Zhang Ze and Zhang Hui are still climbing the technological tree.

And integrate the original shops to form a comprehensive chamber of commerce, establish an escort bureau, train escorts, and build a model of supplying goods, transporting goods by yourself, and selling goods by yourself.

It can not only minimize the damage caused by external factors.

Ensure technology confidentiality.

They can also secretly develop their own power.
