Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

This time, the team that Gu Yanshu sent out to sea was lucky, and it can be said that they gained a lot.

As soon as Gu Yanshu arrived at the front hall, he saw the tables filled to the brim.

There are all kinds of messy objects on the table, but the "red and white" ones that Xingren said are the most conspicuous.

Gu Yanshu just took a look and saw those two objects.

"This subordinate has met the princess, Your Highness Wanan."

Before Gu Yanshu entered the door, the people in the room had already heard the movement, and greeted Gu Yanshu:

"This time I went to sea with good luck. I came across several objects in Wang Hao's picture book, but I didn't know if they were correct, so my subordinates simply brought them back together so that Wang Hao can take care of them."

Almost as soon as the man's voice fell, Gu Yanshu gave the answer:

"That's right, it's what I want!"

When he heard Xingren's description just now, Gu Yanshu was already guessing whether the "red and white" fruits he mentioned were peppers and cotton.

Although he had some guesses in his heart, Gu Yanshu was still not sure.

After all, whether it is pepper or cotton, it is a relatively difficult item to find.

How could they be brought back all at once.

However, after seeing the real thing now, Gu Yanshu realized that he was indeed right.

This time, the "red and white" fruits that Xingren said were brought back by his subordinates were indeed peppers and cotton.

Stepping forward quickly, he took the peppers and cotton on the table in his hands, feeling the real touch of his fingertips, even Gu Yanshu was a little excited at the moment.

Not to mention that he was still thinking about the red soup hot pot just now, but once the cotton is popularized, it will not only benefit his business empire, but also be a great blessing to the people of Tianqi.

After all, there are simply too many things that cotton can do.

Not only can it be used to spin cotton thread, weave cotton cloth, and make clothes, but most importantly, it can also be used to talk about quilts!

Nowadays, the cups used for the winter in Qidong are either animal fur or animal down filled in them.

Combined with the charcoal brazier or kang in the house to keep warm.

However, whether it is animal fur or down, the price is expensive because of the low output, and ordinary people can hardly afford it.

But this cotton is different.

As long as the cultivation of cotton is promoted, the common people will no longer need to worry about wintering in the future.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Gu Yanshu's face, he quickly squeezed the cotton in his hand, and looked at the person in charge who was standing aside this time:

"This thing, how much did you bring back this time?"

"About a box or so."

While the man was speaking, he did not forget to gesture the size of the box with his hand.

This white fruit is relatively high in the brochure given to them by the princess.

When the princess handed over the booklet to them, she told them that in the booklet, the items in the front are more important and important. .

Therefore, even though the person who sold this object to them said that the white fruit covered the land in vain, was inedible, and basically useless, they still came back with a box full.

If it wasn't for the man not having any more white fruits in his hands, they might be able to bring back more.

Gu Yanshu, on the other hand, made a rough estimate in his mind based on the gestures made by that person.

The box should be one meter long, and half a meter wide and high. If the box is full of cotton, although there are not many seeds stripped out, it is enough to plant a few experimental fields.

At that time, the cotton seeds in the experimental field will be planted and slowly accumulated, which is completely enough for promotion.

After confirming that the amount was enough, Gu Yanshu slowly relaxed, and was about to look at the other gains of the sea-going team this time, but unexpectedly raised his eyes and saw the perturbed expression on the face of the person in charge.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't given the person in charge an accurate word:

"I didn't find anything wrong. According to the promise of the hall at the beginning, everyone who goes to sea this time will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, princess."

When the person in charge heard this, the expression on his face eased a lot, and hurriedly led his subordinates to thank Gu Yanshu.

To say that the reward is not rewarded is not a big deal to them.

After all, Gu Yanshu's opponents were always generous, and he was no exception to them.

Even because they travel around all the year round, they work harder, and their treatment is higher than that of their brothers in the palace.

But generally speaking, you need to do as much as you eat.

They lead the highest monthly cases in the entire government every month, but in the previous half a year, they didn't bring back a single decent thing.

Even if the other brothers in the mansion didn't say anything, they felt very sorry.

Now that they have finally found an object that the princess needs, doesn't it make them all happy?

At least they are worthy of the favor of the princess!

Gu Yanshu didn't know what these people were thinking, so he just continued to pick and pull the objects on the table.

Then Gu Yanshu discovered that the peppers brought back by the team that went to sea this time were actually three different varieties.

Among them are the less spicy "Er Jingtiao", the more spicy "Chaotianjiao" and the extra spicy "Xiaomi spicy".

Just like that, he brought all the peppers that Gu Yanshu wanted for the hot pot.

Immediately, Gu Yanshu couldn't help turning his head and continued to ask the person in charge how many peppers he brought back.

"The amount of red fruit is not much, and the subordinates also brought a small amount, only a small box is filled."

Seeing that the princess seemed to like the red fruit very much, the person in charge simply gave the recipient a wink as he spoke.

Not long after, the person under his hand returned to the front hall with a small box in his hand.

The small box is really not big, probably only the size of a girl's jewelry box.

Gu Yanshu opened it and took a look, only to find that the chili pepper was not even full of a box the size of a vanity box, and it only took up about three-quarters of the volume inside.

Compared with cotton, this psychological gap is indeed a bit bigger.

But soon, Gu Yanshu dispelled the trace of loss in his mind:

Even though the amount is not much, the chili is full of dense chili seeds.

Not to mention this box, even if there are only a few, Gu Yanshu can grow a piece of land!

Now this box of peppers is enough for Gu Yanshu to eat several meals of red oil hot pot.

Thinking about it, Gu Yanshu seemed to see the red soup pot bubbling again in Gu Yanshu's mind, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Perhaps Gu Yanshu's performance was too obvious, and the person in charge who stood aside immediately saw the meaning in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, the person in charge finally couldn't hold back and reminded in a low voice:

"The person who gave the red fruit to his subordinates told his subordinates that the red fruit seems to be poisonous and cannot be eaten."

In the absence of testing instruments in ancient times, there were only a few methods to judge whether a food was toxic or not.

Look at the appearance, look at the color and taste it.

Peppers are weird in appearance, bright in color, and have astringent taste in the mouth, and it will numb your mouth if you eat too much.

People who have never eaten chili will have stomach pain and diarrhea after eating it.

The combination of these factors will lead to the statement that peppers are poisonous?

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanshu waved his hands without thinking:

"Poisonous? How could chili be poisonous? If they say it's poisonous, they won't eat it!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Yanshu saw what the person in charge wanted to say, so he immediately blocked the person's mouth with his mouth:

"Don't worry, there is a government doctor in the mansion. I asked you to find the things. Even if they are poisonous after they are made, you can't blame them."

After the princess said that, the person in charge was naturally not easy to answer, he could only watch his princess put away the small box like a treasure.

During the period, I still didn't forget to put the few red fruits on the table for display into the small box, and then ordered the servants around me to take the box back to the bedroom in the main courtyard and put it away.

When handing over the small box, the princess was even very worried and said something, telling the servants around her to be careful, escort the box back safely, and don't leave a single seed behind.

The baby's appearance made the person in charge immediately at a loss for what to say.

And here, Gu Yanshu settled the whereabouts of the peppers, and then set his sights on the round table in front of him again.

Except for the cotton and peppers, it seems that the team that went to sea this time did not bring back any valuable items.

When Gu Yanshu was flipping through the book, he brought some carelessness.

until……

"Where did this come from?"

Gu Yanshu held the objects dug out from the pile of spoils, his fingers trembled, and he asked the person in charge repeatedly.

Both Xingren and the person in charge could hear that Gu Yanshu's tone this time was even more excited than when he saw the cotton just now.

The person in charge looked at the object held in the hands of his own princess, and was confused at first.

There is no other reason, but the thing that Gu Yanshu is holding in his hand at this moment is really too ordinary, even a little ugly.

The dusty appearance, if you don't look carefully, you may even think it's some kind of dirt lump.

Against the backdrop of the princess's slender and fair fingers, it looked even more plain and ugly.

This comparison made the person in charge stunned for a while.

It wasn't until Gu Yanshu couldn't hold back his urging for the second time that the person in charge dug out the information of these two ugly things from his mind:

"It seems to be some kind of mountain product. It was given by the old cotton seller when the subordinate was collecting cotton."

Speaking of the scene at that time, the person in charge was also a little speechless.

The person in charge at the front pointed it out, saying that the cotton was inedible and took up space. For their previous owner, it was almost useless.

Hearing that they wanted to buy it, the old man packed it for them without saying a word.

Later, maybe seeing that the price they gave was not low, the old man felt a little sorry, and thought of giving them some support.

But the old man is just an ordinary villager, and his family's conditions are not good, even if he gives him a head, he can't give him anything good.

In the end, he gave them a basket of mountain goods, that is, the two lumps of soil that Gu Yanshu is holding in his hand now.

It is said that it can be eaten after being washed and cooked.

But although they work under Qin Lu's command, they are not humble servants. In addition, the people under Gu Yanshu's opponents are always generous, so they are not short of money.

When going out, almost everyone from a poor family to a rich family has enough dry food and money. How could they eat the mountain products given by an old man?

If the old man hadn't insisted, the person in charge wouldn't even want to accept it.

After finally accepting it, the person in charge just threw the framed mountain product directly into the corner, and finally forgot to throw it away.

When collecting samples just now, Xu Shi's subordinates were negligent, and even put in the mountain goods given by the old man.

Thinking of this, the person in charge couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Just as he was about to ask Gu Yanshu to forgive the negligence of his subordinates, who knew that before he could speak, he heard the voice of his own princess:

"What mountain product? This thing is clearly a sweet potato!"

"sweet potato?"

The name sounded very familiar, the person in charge was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized it.

That brochure!

In the brochure given to them by the princess, there are also sweet potatoes.

It ranks even ahead of cotton, even to the first page position, in no particular order with another object named "potatoes".

These are also the only two items in the booklet that Gu Yanshu gave them.

In the process of searching for things at sea, the person in charge read the pamphlet several times. How could he not understand how much his princess attaches importance to potatoes and sweet potatoes?

These two objects, ranging from fruits of different shapes to vines, were all drawn by the princess on the album, for fear that they would not know each other when they saw them.

But now the concubine told them that this dusty object was actually the top-ranked sweet potato in the pamphlet?

Just when the person in charge was thinking this way, he heard the order from his princess to fetch a basin of clean water.

Then, the person in charge saw Gu Yanshu cleaning one of the dusty lumps of soil in the water basin.

After the soil and dust on the surface of the lump were cleaned up and its original appearance was revealed, the person in charge finally recognized that this object was indeed a sweet potato that the princess attached great importance to!

"Although the old man didn't give you many sweet potatoes, he still has a full basket. If it's not enough, the subordinates will take someone back to look for it!"

This time, Gu Yanshu even needed to ask, and the person in charge had already given the answer first.

The people under the person in charge were also clever, and when they heard what the boss said, they didn't stay idle, and went directly to move the basket of sweet potatoes in.

"The amount is really not much. Now it's almost the end of the month, and you have just come back. Take a few days off and wait until the beginning of next month, and go to sea again to see if you can bring some back."

Gu Yanshu glanced at the amount of sweet potatoes in your box, and there are less than twenty of them in total, which is indeed a little less.

Even after making arrangements, he did not forget to praise the person in charge:

"You have done a great job this time! Those who go out together will all be rewarded!"

When he said this, Gu Yanshu's face was filled with unconcealable joy.

How precious this sweet potato is, anyone who has experienced the end times will not be unclear.

It is easy to use, does not choose the land, and more importantly, it has high output!

You must know that the problem of grain production has always been a big problem that has plagued Tianqi Chaotang.

No one knows this better than Gu Yanshu, who went to the Ministry of Industry to help transform agricultural tools once.

And this sweet potato is known as the king of yield.

Even in later generations, where the land is well taken care of, the yield of rice per mu can only reach about [-] to [-] kilograms.

But this sweet potato does not choose the land, just serve it with a little snack, and the yield per mu can reach [-] catties. If the land is fertile and well cared for, it can even reach the yield of tens of thousands of catties.

Counting this back and forth, it is a five-fold gap.

Not to mention that without improved rice varieties and Tianqi's planting level, the yield of rice per mu can't even reach the level of later generations.

According to Gu Yanshu's understanding, the yield per mu of the staple food of today's rice and wheat, the highest is only about three hundred catties.

If this is the case, then there will be at least twenty times the difference!

What's more, the starch content of this sweet potato is not low, it can completely replace the staple food!

Gu Yanshu does not have the brains of later generations of scientists, nor does they have the perseverance to study a subject for ten years, nor does they have their dedication.

There is no way to bring hybrid rice into Tianqi to solve the food ration worries of Tianqi people.

But he possesses the knowledge and money of future generations, allowing his subordinates to find potatoes and sweet potatoes and bring them to the people of Tianqi.

But now, the sweet potato placed in front of Gu Yanshu is undoubtedly telling him that he has succeeded!

Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Yanshu's lips couldn't help but twitch upwards, and at the same time, there was a trace of regret in his heart:

It's a pity that his little deer is now called into the palace by the emperor, otherwise he could share his joy with his little deer in the first place.

But looking down at the sweet potato in his hand, Gu Yanshu felt that it didn't matter if he couldn't share it with him immediately.

After a while, when the little deer returned home, he told him the news to make his own little deer happy.

Gu Yanshu's abacus was crackling, but he hadn't waited for him to share the joy with Qin Lu.

There was already news from the palace:

His Royal Highness Li Wang has pissed off the emperor again!

Although there is no news about why the two had a disagreement, according to insiders, the quarrel between the two seems to be more intense this time than last time!

Even before Qin Lu left the palace, the news had already spread throughout the capital.

Immediately, there were messages from Beijing and China.

But unlike last time when there were divergent opinions, this time the people's caliber is very unified:

That means His Royal Highness Li Wang is probably going to really end this time!

The puddle of water in the middle of the capital, which was already unsettled, suddenly became even more turbid.

Among them, there are those who fish in troubled waters, and there are also those who see the wind and waves.

Some people even began to speculate vividly about what happened in the imperial study.

It was not enough to say that Qin Lu had a quarrel with the emperor, and that the two had even fought, which is why King Li completely annoyed the emperor.

Just as Gu Yanshu heard the wind from others, he received the news that his little deer had returned home.

Different from the turmoil of the outside world, Qin Lu, as a party in the center of rumors, seems to be a normal person at the moment.

Not only did he have a relaxed and flat expression, but he couldn't see any difference from usual.

Gu Yanshu even saw a sense of relief from it.

Even before Gu Yanshu asked, he heard the voice of his own deer:

"This king returned the soldier talisman to the father."

"what?"

Gu Yanshu froze for a moment, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

Although in Gu Yanshu's previous plan, there was indeed the point of returning the soldier talisman.

But in Gu Yanshu's plan, it was not at this time to return the soldier talisman.

Instead, he would return the soldier talisman after the nails in General Qin Lu's body had been completely pulled out, and after confirming that there were no loopholes, and his business blueprint had gradually been rolled out.

However, now, Gu Yanshu's business empire is indeed in full swing, but the army has not been completely rectified.

Not to mention anything else, but the impact of the confession provided by Li Mingpeng has not been completely eliminated.

Qin Lu has also been busy in the army these days, how could he hand over the soldier talisman so suddenly?

"Because this king...rejected a request from my father."

Qin Lu paused for a moment, and then quickly gave Gu Yanshu the answer.

When he said this, Qin Lu's tone was even a little unnatural, as if he didn't want to tell Gu Yanshu the reason.

But thinking of the last time he returned to Beijing from Yizhou, the concealment he made after annoying his father for the first time, and his own Ruan Ruan's reaction after knowing the truth...

Even though Qin Lu was unwilling in his heart, he finally opened his mouth.

Some things may be difficult to say without opening your mouth.

But once you start, you will find that it seems that it is not as difficult to say as you imagined.

Not long after, Qin Lu spoke out what the emperor had said in the imperial study about leaving the mother and keeping the son.

In the emperor's heart, he allowed Qin Lu not to accept concubines or concubines, but only let him leave an heir.

Not even being able to give his mother a title, or even treating the child as the son of the clan, is already a huge concession.

At the same time, in the heart of the emperor, this is not a violation of Qin Lu's promise to be a couple for life.

But in Qin Lu's heart, it was not like this.

One life, one pair, means that there are two people in one life.

If he wanted a child and left heirs, it would not be a pair, but three.

Together with the mother of the child whose name cannot be left, or even four people, how can there be a couple for a lifetime?

Qin Lu could not accept such an arrangement.

Qin Lu also knew that his own Ruanruan would never be willing to make such a concession.

So on this matter, the father and son had great differences.

Even as rumored by the outside world, there was a violent quarrel.

Of course, the use of this "quarrel" is actually not too appropriate.

Because in the whole process, it was more the emperor's unilateral reprimand to Qin Lu.

In the end, neither side was willing to budge on the matter.

When Qin Lu finally saw that the emperor's attitude was too resolute, he knew that he had to make a move that could show his determination.

Dang even directly exchanged the soldier talisman on his body back.

After Qin Lu's actions, the emperor really understood what he was thinking, and was even more furious about it.

Let Qin Lu get out of the palace directly.

After Qin Lu explained the cause and effect of the complete incident, Gu Yanshu first expressed great praise for Qin Lu's actions.

Just like what Qin Lu thought, what is it to live up to a pair of people for a lifetime without leaving the mother and keeping the child?

Can you ignore the nail holes on the pulled out nails, and treat the excrement you eat as if it never happened?

This kind of hooligan logic is simply bullshit!

Fortunately, his little deer is persistent enough!

After praising his own people contentedly, Gu Yanshu soon thought of another key point:

"Father called you into the palace, what are you doing with the military talisman?"

Shouldn't this thing be kept in a secret room when it's not in use?

Qin Lu was silent for a moment when he met his Ruanruan questioning eyes, and finally told the truth:

"Before entering the palace, I had a premonition that this encounter would not be easy."

Knowing father Mo Ruozi.

During this period of time, the emperor never relaxed his pressure on Prince Li's residence.

Recruiting him into the palace at this time may mean making concessions, but Qin Lu understands better that the result of the emperor's concessions may not meet his expectations.

And according to Qin Lu's understanding of the emperor, after the first concession, it is almost impossible for the emperor to make a second concession.

Therefore, before leaving the mansion, Qin Lu still took the soldier talisman with him after thinking for a while.

I just wanted to use it just in case, but in the end, I still handed it over.
