After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"It should be feasible. I have also been to those two counties. Ali, what are your plans for the future?"

"What do you say?"

"This matter must be reported to the Emperor, who will then issue an order to have the Ministry of Works build it."

Shen Li nodded: "Then should I let my elder brother hand him over to the emperor or to you?"

"I'm not suitable. After all, it was you who came up with the idea. You should go find your eldest brother." Qin Yu said.

Shen Li asked Liu Xin to call Shen Han over, and then told him the whole story. Shen Han then took what Shen Li had written and read it for a long time.

"Ali, do you know how important what you wrote is? If it succeeds, it will benefit so many people." Shen Han said excitedly.

"Brother, don't get excited. Qin Yu and I have discussed it and decided to let you hand it over to the emperor."

Shen Han thought for a moment and said, "No, I'm from the Ministry of Personnel, and this is under the Ministry of Works. If I go, it might be considered as crossing the line." Then he looked at Qin Yu and said, "Why don't you go?"

"But this is what Ali thought. The emperor will definitely summon her to the palace. After all, Ali and I are not married. Isn't this a little hard to explain?"

"Do you mean you're afraid that others will gossip about us?" Shen Li asked.

"Well, it may be bad for your reputation."

Shen Li naturally didn't care. Besides, she and Qin Yu were already together, so why did she care about other people's speculations?

"Yeah, why don't I go instead?" Shen Han said.

"I say, don't waste your time. The three of us will go together. You go in and tell the emperor. I'll wait for you at the palace gate. If you summon me, I'll go in."

Seeing that Shen Han wanted to talk, Shen Li said again: "Brother, I am your sister, how can you not clear the relationship, okay?"

"Yes, let's go now."

Shen Li had his own considerations for asking both of them to go.

If the construction of this terraced field is successful, it will be a credit to Qin Yu and Shen Han as well. Although it was her idea, she is not in the court after all, so the emperor will only value the two of them more.

As for her, the most she could get was some rewards, and she also wanted to negotiate terms with the emperor.

The task of building terraces will probably be handed over to the Ministry of Works, but there must be someone in charge. Shen Han is from the Ministry of Personnel, so he is not suitable. Qin Yu, who offered the suggestion, will most likely be put in charge.

But this is not necessarily the case. Maybe the Minister of Works will be in charge. She cannot control the rest of the matters and can only let nature take its course.

Shen Li stood outside the palace gate for nearly an hour before she saw a few young eunuchs walking towards her.

"Miss Shen, the emperor summons you to the palace."

"Okay, trouble."

The leading eunuch was stunned: "Miss Shen, you are too polite."

Shen Li followed the eunuch for about quarter of an hour before entering the hall. In addition to Qin Yu and Shen Han, there were two officials standing in the hall.

"I am Shen Li, a commoner, paying my respects to His Majesty." Shen Li knelt down and said.

"Get up, Miss Shen. I don't need to say more. You know why I summoned you here, right?" Emperor Ruikang said.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

"Okay, then I'll be frank. I've just called in people from the Ministry of Works to discuss your idea. After they looked at it, they thought it was feasible, so I decided to find a piece of mountain land and build a terraced field to see if it works."

Shen Li nodded and decided to build a test field first. This would be a good idea so as to avoid mobilizing so much manpower. If it doesn't work, it would be a waste of effort.

And she might also be blamed, so it was safer to do so. Although it might delay some time, as her workshop would need to be built and she would need to make the ointment, she could still wait for this period of time.

"Your eldest brother and Qin Qing's family said that this was the idea you came up with, but is it true?" Rui Kangdi asked.

"Your Majesty, this was recorded in an ancient book that I came across by accident, so strictly speaking, it was not something I came up with."

"Really? Where's the ancient book?"

Shen Li had no choice but to be questioned about the ancient book: "The ancient book was accidentally destroyed."

Ruikang Emperor laughed. He didn't believe what ancient book Shen Li was talking about at all. It was very likely that she had come up with it on her own, or someone had taught her, but that person didn't want to come forward.

But no matter what, as long as the method is feasible, he won't care too much.

"Miss Shen, do you know how much benefit this method can bring to the people if it works? I will definitely reward you well then."

"Your Majesty, in consideration of the terraced field method I have provided, I have a small request that you will grant."

"Are you making conditions with me?"

Shen Li knelt on the ground hurriedly: "I dare not. This request made by me is also beneficial to the people. I hope Your Majesty will listen to it before blaming me."

"Oh? Now that you mention it, I am a little curious. Let's get up and talk."

Shen Li stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am a businessman. I need fresh flowers for my products, so I wanted to look for places near Kyoto to grow flowers in large quantities. Of course, there were none, so I thought of Jingping County and Zaoxi County. Because of the terrain, there is almost no harvest in these two counties, so I thought of changing the terrain so that I can grow things in the future."

Rui Kangdi nodded: "So that's how it is. So you want to plant flowers after you build the terraces?"

"Of course not. Although I don't understand, I know the importance of food. I am thinking that if the terraces can be successfully used to grow crops in the future, in addition to growing some food, can we use some to grow flowers? Then I will spend money to harvest them, which will also improve the lives of the people."

Ruikangdi began to think.

Shen Li continued, "Your Majesty, before in Xiezhou, I asked the people to plant flowers in small vacant places, and then handed them over to the village chief. Then I sent people to collect them. Now it seems to be very effective. The people can use the places where they can't grow food, and they can also earn extra income."

Ruikangdi looked at the other people in the hall: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. When I returned to Xiezhou before, I saw that the people were living much better than before." Shen Han said.

"I think it's feasible." Qin Yu said.

Shen Li didn't know the remaining two people, but they also said it was feasible.

Emperor Ruikang laughed and said, "Miss Shen, it seems that you are not only good at playing the pipa, but your business has also benefited so many people. You are more capable than my civil and military officials."

Shen Li bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. I am so humbled. My little wisdom can only be used for business. I don't know anything else."

This statement seemed like an act of flattery, and she couldn't admit it.

"Okay, if the terraces can really be used to grow crops after they are built, I agree to your request. After they are built, I will let the government and the people know about it. Just like you said, this is a good thing for the people, and I will not hold back on disagreeing. And what you said about using the vacant land to plant flowers, and then you can harvest them, this can also be implemented in the counties under Kyoto."
