Magical skills
Shen Zhi was flattered by this description.
Chen Tang nodded seriously and said: Yes, it is a magical skill, a magical skill that can change the current world situation!
Shen Zhi felt even more unsure when he heard this.
Even though Chen Tang described a prosperous and beautiful world to her, Chen Zhi still had no intention of being moved. She was filled with fear and panic. She was just an ordinary woman. How could she have such power? She sounded like a demon!
Jia is also confused, so I would like to ask my lord to solve this problem.
The people who couldn't understand Chen Tang's surprise were not only Chen Zhi, but also scholars like Liao Jia. In their opinion, Chen Zhi's way of writing was indeed interesting, but it didn't have much practical application value, and they didn't understand why the lord regarded it as a treasure.
Shen Zhi's scholarly ways cannot produce food like Lin Feng can. They are useless on the front battlefield or in battlefield logistics.
You guys, you really can't do without me. Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes full of curiosity, Chen Tang no longer kept everyone in suspense. While revealing the secret, he also did not forget to guide everyone to think divergently. Didn't Shao Mei buy flowers from Yao He before? She also made strict requirements on the color, the number of petals, and the size of the petals? Didn't you discover anything from it
Everyone's eyes fell on Liao Jia in unison.
Liao Jia also knew that his request was a bit harsh, but he paid the deposit in full, and Shen Zhi also agreed that it was no problem. This was a deal between us, and he was not deliberately making things difficult for him: Why is he looking at Jia like this? Jia also had no idea...
Everyone turned their eyes back to Chen Tang's face - except for Gu Chi who had just copied the homework, but at this moment he was shocked by Chen Tang's imagination and had not yet digested it. When he came to his senses, he took a deep breath and looked at Chen Zhi with eyes full of awe, ecstasy and curiosity. Qi Shan and others became more and more anxious, as if there were a few Su Shangs scratching in their hearts.
Gu·Lord's Mouth Substitute·Chi Shangxian: My Lord means that Miss Shen can make flowers show the characteristics she wants, so can she also improve the grain seeds according to her wishes, making them cold-resistant, drought-resistant, insect-resistant, and high-yielding
Everyone: …
How dare you think that, my lord
Cold-resistant, drought-resistant, insect-resistant and high-yielding
If a grain has any one of these qualities, it can be called the best, fully qualified to be supplied to the government, or even become the royal tribute. But my mistress is different, she wants them all, and not only that, she wants all these qualities concentrated in one seed.
What's that expression on your face
Chu Yao sighed lightly and said: I dare not think about it.
He still remembers his childhood.
When I was young, my family was poor and the walls were drafty. My biological father was lazy, and my biological mother not only had to give birth to children for him and take care of the housework, but also had to take care of the few acres of thin land that they rented. Watering, fertilizing, and weeding were done every day, without a single day of slacking off, because the crops in the fields were too fragile. It couldn't be too cold, it couldn't be too hot, it couldn't be too much water, it couldn't be too little water, and we had to be careful of pests.
Ten percent of the work won't get you ten percent of the return.
Such hardship and still not enough food to eat!
But if we don’t do this, the whole family will starve to death!
It’s not Chu Yao’s family.
Every family is like this!
It has been like this for generations!
but-
Is this how it should be
Chen Tang tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were raised, his sleeves full of spring breeze, his eyebrows and eyes flying, and said: Why don't you dare to think? Think! Now you can think boldly and we can all make it happen. Extraordinary power should be matched with extraordinary imagination!
Shen Tang swung Baji, and Shen Zhi trembled.
She really wanted to say that she couldn't do it, but there was a tiny voice in her heart, which was her inner desire tempting her: What if? Shen Zhi, what if you can do it? Since God has given you this opportunity and let you have a magnificent dream, why not be bolder? Make this dream come true and let your name be recorded in the history books.
Shen Zhi had to admit that he was completely confused.
She surrendered to her desires, while others were satiated by the big cakes painted by Shen Tang. Shen Zhi went from being a marginal figure with little presence to the focus of everyone. Liao Jia even wrote a booklet about his thoughts and experiences on the way of scholars and gave it to Shen Zhi for reference. Chu Yao and others even said that Shen Zhi could ask for advice on any cultivation problems.
Shen Zhi: …
The pressure is even greater, isn't it
By gathering everyone's strength, she quickly mastered the way of the scholar.
The good news is that she can indeed improve the quality, but this improvement cannot be achieved overnight. It will take dozens or even hundreds of generations to ensure that the good quality is stably inherited. The bad news is that Shen Zhi’s talent is limited and his way of being a scholar is not perfect. The prerequisite for this to be effective is that the target flower can bloom and have a certain ornamental value.
When Chen Tang received the news, he almost had "disappointment" carved on his face: I thought this "blooming" was a concept.
For example, something with a flower can work.
But obviously Chen Zhi is not that amazing yet.
Chen Zhi was more disappointed than Chen Tang. She felt that she had had a magnificent and mysterious dream, and now this dream was about to wake up. The gap in her heart made her feel wronged and sad and wanted to cry. Chen Jun's next sentence gave her hope of a turnaround: If it is not a concept, then it is not a concept. As a human being, you still have to learn to be satisfied. Yaohe, why don't you start with the peach tree and the pear tree and practice
Accumulate enough experience before exploring other categories.
Chen Tang then began to make a wish: I want big, sweet, and crisp peaches and pears! If the yield can be higher, when the harvest season comes, the government will have one more benefit.
Shen Zhi: …
Chen Tang continued to talk: "I remember that white pears require more water, while sand pears require less. So let them develop in the direction of drought tolerance, or let the root system of the pear tree become more developed, so that it can lock the soil and absorb more water. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Let the government office post a notice later to find talents with beekeeping experience."
The person on duty in the office that day was Chu Yao.
He was quietly recording Chen Tang's wish list, and when he heard this, he asked her: My Lord, would you like to drink honey steamed pear water
Otherwise, why is the range of topics so wide
Honey bees are good for eating, but I am a serious person. How can I only think about eating? I just suddenly remembered that pear and peach trees need pollen fertilization before they can bear fruit! How can we do without the hardworking bees? We can pollinate manually, but why do we have to do it ourselves when we can outsource it
Honey, that's just a byproduct!
It would have been fine if Wu Hui hadn't said anything, but once he said it, she also wanted to drink honey steamed pear juice. Chen Tang secretly swallowed her saliva and suppressed the impulse.
Shen Zhi got on the right track under Shen Tang's guidance.
However, her literary energy was weak, and the cultivation speed was extremely slow. Often, she needed Lin Feng's cooperation to ensure progress. If there was no war next year, the two of them would join forces, and it would not be a dream for Chen Tang and others to eat big, sweet and crisp peaches and pears in the second year.
The temptation of peaches and pears is never as great as that of cotton.
Chen Zhi was called to Sibao County by Chen Tang with a transfer order.
Here, not only is there her golden partner Lin Feng, but also a Luanhu Cao Luanxin who is said to be able to call the wind and rain. Shen Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. If the three of them joined forces, what would they be called? Wouldn't they be invincible in the world, and be called the reincarnation of Shennong
When the Wen Qi was completely consumed, the flower bag closest to Chen Zhi had already adorned the branch, and white flowers bloomed beautifully. At this point, Chen Zhi stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and looked at Lin Feng and the others: "It's done!"
These two simple words sounded like heavenly music to Lin Feng's ears.
"Yao He!"
She leaped forward in excitement.
Shen Zhi was knocked back several steps.
Although her face looked pale due to overdrawing her spirit, Shen Zhi was more excited than ever before. She could fully understand why Lin Feng was so excited! If all went well, the common people under his rule would no longer be hungry in the future, and they would not be afraid of the severe cold. How could such a great merit not make people lose their minds? Thinking of this, Shen Zhi's eyes could not help but turn red, and mist appeared.
"Um!"
Luan Xin stood on the edge of the field, looking at the two people who were crying with joy from afar. His expression was neither sad nor happy, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Lin Feng couldn't wait to tell Chen Tang the news.
"My Lord! My Lord! My Lord!"
The person has not arrived yet, but the sound of voices and footsteps has arrived first.
Chen Tang heard Lin Feng's excited voice, and from Liao Jia's words, he knew that Chen Zhi had come, so he guessed a little. When Lin Feng was about to step into the meeting hall, he changed his impetuous manner, but his hurried steps betrayed his master's inner excitement at the moment.
"My lord, great news!"
Chen Tang put a processed letter aside.
He asked, "Is it done?"
"It worked! I finally lived up to my lord's high expectations!"
Looking at the rare unstable Lin Feng, she smiled and gently stroked the top of his head, saying gently: "When has Lingde ever let me down?"
Lin Feng's excellence and hard work are obvious to all.
Not long after, Shen Zhicai and Luan Xin hurried over.
Shen Tang asked Shen Zhi if he had any thoughts of entering the government.
Before Chen Zhi awakened to the Way of the Scholar, Chen Tang encouraged her to run her own business. Although she had little literary talent, she could stimulate the growth of flowers and plants and develop the best rouge and flower dew in the world. Now that she has the Way of the Scholar, it would be a waste of talent if she still worked as a beauty expert and occasionally helped Chen Tang with some work.
Since the end of the universe is the civil service exam, why not get there in one go
Faced with Shen Tang's invitation, how could Shen Zhi not respond
I agreed without thinking.
She could also see clearly that without Chen Tang, there would be nothing now. This magnificent and mysterious dream was given by the person in front of her.
I hope this dream will never end!
The next day, it was Luan Xin's turn to be on duty at the government office.
_(:з」∠❀)_
Luan Xin was confused when he saw the arrangement.
Is there any way for him to appear at the county government office, the household office, and the private fields of the household office at the same time to assist Lin Feng and the others in selecting and breeding high-quality grain varieties? Faced with the cruel reality, the literati could not be arrogant and chose to be indecisive.
He couldn't help but have conspiracy theories—
He is on this duty roster because he has Wen Palace.
Soon, he found out the real reason why others didn't like being on duty - it wasn't because they had to do more work, but because the master's magic music filled their ears. The master liked to hum songs while handling government affairs, with strange tunes and annoying melodies.
Luan Xin recalled the morning when he took over from Liao Jia. The latter handed him a wooden box with a meaningful look. When he opened it, he saw two balls of cotton.
A note is included to plug the ears.
Luan Xin: “…”
However, Wenxin scholars have superb hearing, so this trick cannot completely prevent mental damage. Luan Xin didn't want to have a disabled leg and become deaf again on duty, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"What's the good news today? My lord is in a good mood."
Chen Tang said: "There are two more items of income."
Luan Xin was puzzled: "Two incomes?"
Chen Tang said with a smile: "The redemption money has arrived."
The curve of Luan Xin's lips disappeared a little.
"Does this make the Lord so happy?"
Chen Tang knew that Luan Xin did not approve of his behavior.
"Why are you unhappy? Gongyi, being the head of a county is glorious, but everything costs money. War costs money, and governance costs even more. I don't have the ability to make all of Wen Yangong's former ministers surrender. I can't just let these people go, nor can I keep them around forever. I have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds, right?"
She said casually, "I have a heavy reputation to worry about, so I can't kill them all. This is the only option. I get the money, and they keep their lives."
Everyone is happy, isn’t it
Luan Xin lowered his head and hummed.
"Of course, I'm not happy today just because of the two ransom silvers..." and it's not because I got rid of the two money-losing guys. "I'm happy when I think about this time next year, when a small number of common people under my rule will be able to wear warmer cotton-padded clothes, and the year after next, every household will have cotton-padded clothes, and no one will freeze to death quietly in the cold wind. If I can drink, I really want to have a few drinks to celebrate."
The task of selecting and improving cotton seeds was given to Shen Zhi and the other two. Shen Zhi could breed high-quality cotton seeds, while Lin Feng could mass-produce high-quality cotton seeds. Together with Luan Xin, who could ensure the water supply, the three of them could be called the modern Shennong combination.
With the three of them around, Chen Tang can boldly make big plans!
Luan Xin watched Chen Tang, who continued to work with a pen in his hand and hummed an unpleasant tune. His left hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, tightened and loosened unnaturally... He didn't know whether Chen Tang's words just now were intentional or unintentional...
It’s just that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
The construction of Sibao County is still in full swing.
Time passed day by day, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
The government office held a closing ceremony on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar year. Except for a few special departments where people were still on duty, all other departments began to take holidays and would not return to duty until the eighth day of the following lunar year.
Everyone also received generous rewards.
Luan Xin also got a share, and it was a big red envelope.
Someone who was always distracted couldn't react, so he just stopped writing and took a rest so easily? Thinking back to the pile of letters, he thought that according to the character of this lord, everyone would be able to work until New Year's Eve...
Then I continued to work on the first day of the new year.
Shen Tang was shocked.
"How can you have such a horrible idea?"
Even capitalists dare not think of letting their subordinates spend the New Year's Eve in the office.
Luan Xin: “…”
"However, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, the government office does have a team-building dinner party to bond with each other. In layman's terms, I will host the banquet, and if it is convenient for you, you can bring your family money. By the way, how many children are there in Gongyi's family? This is the first time we meet, so I have to give them money to ward off evil spirits." There is no war for the time being, and the krypton gold party Xun Zhen can't harm her. She still has a little money in her pocket. "According to the custom of previous years, Wuhui and the others will also prepare lantern fairs and fireworks. After a busy year, it's time to relax and enjoy themselves."
This is her fifth New Year in this world.
