Zhuo Qihua

Shi Yu and Nian Qing rushed to Fengtian Temple with seven experts who were proficient in farming.Zhuo Ji was no longer in Zhixing Hall, and Emperor Yong'an recounted the importance of these crops to seven farming experts.When they knew the important value of potatoes and sweet potatoes, Nian Qing, the minister of the household department, was so excited that tears filled his eyes, not to mention the seven agricultural experts.

The Chinese New Year is not important anymore, seven agricultural experts will immediately take seeds, potatoes, and sweet potatoes to the "Happy Farm" under the Zhuoyuan Commercial Bank.Emperor Yong'an provided a superficial planting technique for various crops, and based on this, agricultural experts had to sort out more detailed planting techniques.The Shengli Farm will be cultivated as a test base first, and once the technology is mature, it will be promoted nationwide.

Emperor Yong'an's depression brought by Wan Gushu and Beiman Wang was diluted by this unexpected surprise.By the time everything settled down, it was already dark.Emperor Yong'an immediately returned to his bedroom and ordered to pass the meal.

Seeing Zhuo Ji in the bedroom, Emperor Yong'an couldn't hide his joy: "I can't wait to see the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Zhuo Ji: "Me too. I don't know when the planting situation of the greenhouse in North Valley will be reported back."

Emperor Yong'an: "I'm afraid it won't be so soon when Pan Pozhi is in Mydoro City, but there will definitely be no problem. Now that the treasury has money, I also have money. As long as there are navigation charts, Mata country can consider going to sea."

Zhuo Ji: "It doesn't matter even if you don't have a nautical chart, first grasp their navigation route from Peiban to our country, and then use this as a basis to explore a little bit. Now the country has the possibility to go out, which is the most important thing .”

"Yes." Emperor Yong'an was very emotional, "With you as a lucky star, the voyage to Mata country will definitely be successful."

Zhuo Ji laughed.

Both of them were in a good mood today, Zhuo Ji felt that the dizziness that had troubled him for many days was gone.When eating, both of them had good appetites.After eating, Zhuo Ji brought the new cards he asked Quan Sheng and Liang Qi to make, and said to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, play cards with me."

"What kind of card is this?" It's obviously not the Three Kingdoms Kill, and the Three Kingdoms Kill is placed in Wensi Pavilion.

Zhuo Ji: "Monopoly. Whoever is the last one not to go bankrupt wins."

Emperor Yong'an's eyes brightened slightly: "I'll take a look."

Zhuo Ji is not an economist, and his knowledge of economics can only be regarded as superficial.Although his brain has accumulated a lot of economic theory knowledge, it does not mean that he can really control the economic development of a country.One of the current important tasks of the country is to develop people's livelihood, and the other is to develop the economy.The premise of economic development is that the common people have to have enough to eat.The appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes is too timely. If the production of urea can be increased, the research institute can cultivate higher-yielding grain seeds and research more sophisticated agricultural tools. Eat your stomach.The common people have no worries about eating, and the country has the confidence to develop the economy and promote business.Food is fundamental, the common people need food, and the country needs food even more.Just like the war with the Talkin Ministry this time, the daily loss of grain and grass in the granaries of the Mata country will keep Nianqing, the minister of the household department, awake at night.In war, what is burned is money, and to put it bluntly, it is food and grass.

Now, the black land of the Talkin Ministry has been incorporated into the territory of Mata State.The next step is to make good use of this black land.Then promote the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes as soon as possible.Bring down food prices.When the price of grain falls, the gentry who hold a large amount of land in their hands will panic, and they will not dare to think of ways to annex the land. Instead, they will worry that the price of the land in their hands will drop again and again.At this time, the development of commerce turned the gentry's resentment that they could not rely on land to make money into the motivation to use other channels to make money.At that time, while the state takes back a large amount of land, it can also use the energy of those gentry to promote economic development and bring more money to the treasury.The advice given by Zhuo Ji can only go so far, how to operate it specifically, and whether there will be other problems, it is the officials of Mata country who work together to solve it.

Whenever he thought of this, Zhuo Ji would once again appreciate the wisdom of Emperor Yong'an.It can be said that Emperor Yong'an was an extremely forward-looking and thoughtful emperor.He knew the national conditions of the country, and after Zhuo Ji told him all the contradictions in the country, his first reaction was not to kill, but to think, and after thinking, he accepted and trusted.Emperor Yong'an carefully read the instructions twice, and felt that it was more difficult than "Three Kingdoms Kill".Putting down the manual, Emperor Yong'an was gearing up: "Come on."

When Zhuo Ji played the Monopoly game in his previous life, he was still a primary school student.Now that there is no computer, Zhuo Ji changed it into a board game, and some rules that were not suitable for the board game were also changed, and became the Mata country version of Monopoly.He made this deck of cards in order to let Emperor Yong'an understand the relationship between banks, real estate, and currency more intuitively.Gold and silver are withdrawn from direct transactions, and more convenient banknotes—rather than silver bills—are the future trend.Two people each received 1500 taels of silver—both banknotes—and then rock-paper-scissors decided that the winner, Emperor Yong’an, threw the dice first.

The two of you came and went, and after a while, Emperor Yong'an, who had made money, laughed loudly.Zhuo Ji, who snatched a piece of land in a short while, was very proud.Emperor Yong'an, who was imprisoned for a while, was furious, and Zhuo Ji, who was forced to pay rent for a while, reluctantly paid for it.In the end, Zhuo Ji, who was lucky and familiar with the rules of the game, won, and Emperor Yong'an went bankrupt first.

"Come again!"

He didn't believe it anymore, he was the emperor!The biggest landlord in the world!

■

In Shoukang Palace, Aunt Shen is serving the Empress Dowager for breakfast.Although Emperor Yong'an said that he would not see Wan Gushu, the Queen Mother couldn't be completely relieved.The queen mother absolutely does not allow anyone to threaten Zhuo Ji's position in her son's heart.Danyang Palace is stable, Zhuo Ji is stable, and Mata country can be stable.It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't believe in her son's determination.But as emperors, the world, power, wealth, women... these belong to them as a matter of course.The world will never ask an emperor to stick to one end, and no emperor will be so conscious.

The queen mother believed that Zhuo Ji was different to her son, but she didn't believe that her son could really hold back and remain indifferent to beauty.If the son accepted Wan Gushu's beauty, it would be tantamount to planting a hidden danger for the stability of the harem.

Seeing the empress dowager's mind wandering again, Shen Gu asked in a low voice: "Master, are you still thinking about that Wan Gushu?"

The Empress Dowager sighed, and said displeasedly: "Although the emperor said he would not see her, I was always worried. When Shi Fangyun first entered the palace, the emperor recruited her for four nights. Shi Fangyun is a newcomer among the beautiful women. , the first one to conceive. At that time, the emperor had just discovered Shunxi not long ago. When he was still the freshest, most of his heart was on Shunxi. Later, Shi Fangyun committed suicide, which made the emperor disgusted. , and eventually died in the cold palace. But if Shi Fangyun didn't like to be a demon so much, I'm afraid he is also one of the concubines of the East Eighth Palace. I'm afraid that the emperor can't bear his manly nature in the end, and went to see that Wangushu , and eventually caused a catastrophe. Sigh..."

Shen Gu: "I went to see the purple garden next to the imperial concubine, and it is indeed extremely beautiful. Even Shi Fangyun is not half as beautiful as her. The imperial concubine will stop your majesty, and your majesty has not yet summoned Gu Shu." Entering the palace, one should not be confused by her, and the master needn't worry too much."

The queen mother shook her head: "The emperor is not confused by her, because the emperor has never seen her. If this girl is not removed, my heart will not be at ease." After a pause, the queen mother asked: "Then Wan Gushu is locked up with someone else?" ,still……"

Shen Gu: "Miss Ziyuan said she didn't see anyone else, so she was probably held incommunicado, with the imperial guards guarding her outside. However, the slaves also heard that His Majesty sent Chief Doctor Hu to check her body."

The queen mother was angry: "What kind of body check! Do you want her to conceive a dragon heir or what do you want her to do!"

Shen Gu: "The empress dowager calm down. Your Majesty must have other considerations. I believe that your majesty will not go to see you. Don't you know that your majesty loves Shunyuzu's master?"

The empress dowager was heartbroken: "It is said that beauty is a disaster... No matter how wise the emperor is, it is hard to stop the beauty. The emperor favors Shunxi, do you really think it is because Shunxi is talented? If Shunxi looks crooked, you see Will the emperor spoil him so much, at most he will be kept by his side as a counselor."

Aunt Shen couldn't refute this.

Empress Dowager: "No. That Wangushu is a hidden danger." After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager said: "I thought about it all night last night. This matter must be taken care of by Shunxi. Only when Shunxi takes care of it can the emperor give up completely." .come here."

Aunt Shen followed her ear.

I played cards late last night, so I got up late in the morning.But it was almost a holiday, and Emperor Yong'an was not guilty.Zhuo Ji also got up.After the two had eaten, Emperor Yong'an ordered Nianqing to go to Fengtian Hall.Feng Xi came in at this time to report: "Your Majesty, Aunt Shen from the Empress Dowager's Palace came to report. Since the last time the Empress Dowager went to see a play at the Bailao Theater, she has never forgotten it. Just now I asked Zhaoyou what's going on in the theater today. After learning that it was 'Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai', the Empress Dowager wanted to go out of the palace to watch the drama. She said it was a romantic drama."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong'an immediately said: "Arrange it immediately. In the future, if the Empress Dowager wants to go to a drama, the palace secretary will arrange it directly, and there is no need to inform me again."

"Yes."

Feng Xi went out to spread the word.Soon, he came back again and said, "Aunt Shen asked me to wake up. The empress dowager said that if your majesty agrees, she would like to go with you."

Emperor Yong'an: "Go and ask Shunxi, if he wants to go, he can go."

"Yes."

Feng Xi went out again.Not long after, Feng Xi came back again to spread the word that Zuo Chu would go to the theater with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was going to watch a play at the Bailao Theater, and not only did she bring along Shunyu, but she also called on Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei, Mingyu, and Zhaoyi.All five of them can go out of the palace three times a month.The queen mother went to the theater this time, and it made sense to take them with her.Everyone inside and outside the palace now knows that these noble lords in the palace are the behind-the-scenes bosses of Zhuoyuan Commercial Bank.

The empress dowager's guard of honor left the palace in a mighty way.Zhuo Ji, who was deeply loved by the queen mother, sat in the queen mother's carriage.Zhuo Ji was talking about diamonds with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother liked it very much.In my heart, I am more sure of my decision.

"Queen Mother, when the diamonds can be cut out, I will ask the artisans of the Ministry of Industry to make some beautiful crowns for you."

The queen mother said with a smile: "The crown? Isn't that crossing the line?"

Zhuo Ji: "That's called a treasure crown. The first one made, only you can wear it. You will definitely like it."

"I believe. I like everything you do."

The guard of honor stopped outside the Broadway Theater.The queen mother wanted to watch the play temporarily, and the theater made adjustments immediately.Viewers who originally wanted to watch the show today can only postpone it until tomorrow or refund their tickets.However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it is even more difficult to get a ticket for the Broad Theater, and no one will refund the ticket.

The Queen Mother and her party did not go upstairs, but sat on the first floor with the best view.On the left of the Queen Mother is Huang Guixie, on the right is Zhuo Ji, on the right of Zhuo Ji is Mingyu, and next to Mingyu is Zhaoyu.On the left of Huangguixie is Deguixie, followed by Xiguifei.Mingyu was very happy, he hadn't talked to Shunxi for a long time.The last time I watched a drama, Shunxi was with His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and he didn't have a chance to say a few words with Mingyu.

The business of Taoyao Pavilion is booming, and the two adjacent shops have been bought by Ming Yu at a high price, and then opened up with Taoyao Pavilion to form a larger shop.Taoyaoge now focuses on essential oils and essential oil soaps.The factory has also been built, and now it can barely guarantee the supply.After the Chinese New Year, Mingyu plans to build a second factory, specializing in the production of essential oils and essential oil soaps.With the lavender seeds brought back by Zhuo Ji, Mingxi will wait for the lavender to grow in the coming year to extract lavender essential oil.

The show started and everyone fell silent.Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is a new drama recently launched by "Bai Lao Theater". It will be released on the first day today.With the first experience, the actors in the theater were much calmer this time.When the queen mother enthusiastically called him to watch the play, Zhuo Ji didn't hit the queen mother, which was actually a tragedy.

Sure enough, before the show was over, everyone was already wiping away their tears.When the play ended, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies and flew away. Concubine Xi was so out of breath from crying that the Empress Dowager wet several handkerchiefs.Tong Yifeng choked up and said, "Servant is guilty. I didn't expect this play to be so sad..."

The queen mother cried and said, "Why did you turn into a butterfly..."

As the only cold-blooded animal in the audience who was not sad, Zhuo Ji rushed to the rescue: "Mother Queen, in fact, this ending has a meaning. The two of them turned into butterflies and flew together. How can a person turn into a butterfly? It must be their love. God turned them into butterflies, and they went to the fairy world to stay and fly together."

The queen mother looked at Zhuo Ji, and Zhuo Ji said, "This story was provided to the theater by Shishen. That's what Shishen meant at the time, but they couldn't express it." Tong Yifeng and Qi Yiguo, who had never read the original story, didn't Expose your lies.

The Queen Mother asked with a strong nasal voice: "Is that so?"

Zhuo Ji: "Really. This was originally a happy drama. Maybe the screenwriter thought it would be more touching to leave the ending here, so he made a slight modification. Just now, Sishen wondered why this ended. There should be a metaphor The scene where they go into fairyland. The other Roo and Zhuye is the real tragedy."

Queen Mother: "What kind of tragedy?"

Zhuo Ji: "The two families of Luo Ou and Zhu Ye are feuds, but they fell in love. The parents of the two families firmly opposed their love and arranged their respective marriages. Luo Ou committed suicide by taking poison in pain, and Zhu Ye got After knowing it, she committed suicide with a dagger in front of Luo Ou's body, and both of them died in love. After the death in love, they were separated by the parents of the two families, and they were not buried together."

The Empress Dowager burst into tears again: "This is too tragic."

"Yes. So, Madam, don't cry. When spring comes, the butterflies outside may be the incarnation of two lovers."

The queen mother wiped her tears and said: "Although this play is a bit sad, it is really good. Zhao Ying, please let the theater show more festive ones, and don't make these sad and joyful ones."

Zhaoyi Tong Yifeng: "Yes."

Zhuo Ji: "Zhaoyi, let the theater host the female son-in-law tomorrow."

Tong Yifeng immediately said: "Yes." Without mentioning that the female consort has just started rehearsing, the original plan is to stage it in the next year.

Queen Mother: "This female son-in-law is not miserable, is she?"

Zhuo Ji: "Not at all, it is definitely the happy ending that you like, Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager: "Okay. I will come back tomorrow to see the daughter-in-law!"

After Zhuo Ji said this, everyone was less sad, but still a little sad.Zhuo Ji thought it was time to go back, but the Empress Dowager's expression suddenly changed, and she said flatly: "Go and bring the man over, I will have a look."

Shen Gu: "Yes." Then she left.

The others looked at each other, who to bring here?Only Huang Guixie and Deguixie gave each other meaningful looks.
