Chapter 110: The little good man really hides a secret
After leaving the palace gate, Fourth Brother paused. After getting on the carriage, he did not immediately answer where he was going.
Finally, he spoke: "Go back home. Hurry."
At this juncture of the battle for the leading position, it would be too intrusive to rush to Tong'an Imperial Mansion immediately.
After returning home, Si Age rushed into Baotang Courtyard without stopping, not even paying attention to Fujin who greeted him. He immediately went to Xinuang Pavilion, picked up paper and pen, and began to draw the plants in his mind.
Lu Pheasant raised his hand and put it down again.
What's going on? It's so urgent.
If you can't even take care of her, why not go to the study room? Wouldn't it be easier?
Now that he has entered Baotang Courtyard, does that mean that he needs her help?
Lu Pheasant immediately put down the account book in his hand, stood up, and walked slowly over.
If she didn't say anything to stop her, that meant she was right.
"Master, what's going on?"
Brother Si drew quickly. He quickly put one picture next to him and then drew another one. He said, "Fu Jin, look at it. Can you recognize it?"
Why do I keep asking her to recognize paintings recently?
She grumbled in her heart and moved slowly. She moved gracefully to Si Age's side, tilted her head and looked at the black and white plants where the ink was still dry: "Is this rice?"
Brother Si replied while drawing: "Exactly."
Everything is fine, why do you suddenly draw rice seeds?
Lu Pheasant guessed: "But what news came from Tong'an?"
The only rice species that could be related to their couple was Huangzhuang.
Brother Si shook his head: "Look, can you tell that these two are the same breed?"
Lu Pheasant only took one look and shook his head: "Obviously different. This one is a loose spike type, and that one is a branch type."
There is no color. Based on the posture of the plant, this is the first level of priority judgment.
Fourth Brother was stunned. Originally, he just wanted the Uranala clan who had also been to Tong'an Imperial Village to support his judgment. Unexpectedly, Fujin actually opened his mouth and told the difference: "What else?"
Lu Pheasant thought: "This one is more like glutinous rice. If there are others, this one should be upland rice, and that one can be used as rice. Of course, I don't see the color, so I'm not sure it's correct."
Brother Si asked again: "Then do you think this looks like the rice plants in our Tong'an Zhuangzi field?"
Lu Pheasant took it for granted: "Why else would I paint other people's plants?"
Yes, those are other people’s output and food, what does it have to do with their family.
The fourth elder brother put down his pen: "This one is the rice seed recently cultivated by the prince and the two brothers of the Hesheli family, and the latter one is the rice seed of the eldest brother and the third son Nalan.
They were at the racecourse today and simultaneously reported the good news to Khan Amma, saying that this rice seed can be used for double crops a year even in the north, doubling the yield. "
This paragraph contained a lot of information. Lu Pheasant blinked and took a while to digest it.
Is the high-yielding double-cropping rice seed that the good man took out and planted in Tong'an Imperial Village?
where is he from?
The prince and elder brother also got it, and they went to ask the emperor for credit first.
But Brother Si noticed that this was the same as the one he got and planted on the Imperial Manor?
That's not right either.
Lu Pheasant replied: "Looking at it, it is indeed quite similar to the ones in the two fields on Huangzhuang."
Brother Si sighed: "You feel the same way."
That is to say, Si Age got more than one kind.
But the prince and the eldest brother only got one kind each.
is it possible?
Those were the prince and the eldest brother, who controlled far more political, economic and human resources than the fourth elder brother at this time.
But the fact is that the fourth elder brother got more.
The simplest guess is that Brother Si was the one who first got the high-quality rice seeds.
The remaining two people were... stolen from Tong'an Imperial Manor.
Huangzhuang is remote, and it is normal for thieves to appear there.
But those were the rice seeds that the master had promised to plant. If it was really stolen, even if only one seed was lost, with Zhang's rigidity and Wang Erpazi's cleverness, it would be impossible not to report it once they were aware of it.
If it wasn't stolen, then someone might have betrayed the master at Tong'an Imperial Manor and sold it.
Even more than one person rebelled against the master, and each of them sold one.
Only then did it appear that the prince and the eldest brother took credit at the same time.
But, what a coincidence.
This matter has nothing to do with his own imperial village. It is strange that these two people want to go to the same place at the same time.
Lu Pheasant asked: "Long live Lord, what is the ruling today?"
The word ruling is used delicately.
Ulanara is really sharp.
Brother Si almost laughed, but he still said calmly: "Khan Amma also said that it is rare for the two of them to think of the same thing, but they both have doubts, and we will wait until the rice seeds are mature before discussing."
Do you want them to continue fighting?
Kangxi was decisive in the end, which was wise later.
Even if it was Lu Pheasant who made the decision, there would naturally be no conclusion on the surface and he would continue to investigate secretly.
Their fourth elder brother’s residence knew that they were the first to get the rice seeds.
But people outside are probably guessing, which of these two brothers comes first?
Lu Pheasant: "What do you think?"
Brother Si stared at the plant and briefly explained the situation in the palace today.
This is really hard to say.
The eldest brother suddenly appeared in the study room, so he was well prepared.
But the prince also chose today. He spoke first, which looked very much like the prince planting good seeds first.
After the eldest brother followed, it was the Nalan family who told the rice seeds first.
The two Hesheli brothers continued.
After verification, the rice seeds of the two people were indeed different.
Even if someone wants to copy it, where can he find different and better varieties?
If it's so easy, what are the officials in the Farming Department of the Ministry of Industry doing every year, but they still can't increase the national grain production?
Therefore, at first glance, it is really possible that these two parties happened by chance.
With the thinking of a high-ranking person, one must beware of these two people being plotted at the same time.
But what kind of enemy is plotting against the brothers of the Qing Dynasty to invest in improved rice seeds? Is the investment too large?
But no matter what, this matter actually has nothing to do with Si Age and his wife.
There is no need to rush to find out whether there is even a mole in Tong'an Huangzhuang.
Just go back to the source and go to Tong'an Huangzhuang. Isn't this someone else's repayment for the fourth elder brother?
The fourth elder brother buried himself in the loess and developed a high-yielding rice seed. He worked hard but never took credit.
In the face of diverse and high-yielding rice varieties, what kind of fault can it be considered to be lax in controlling the people and having one or two moles in a remote village?
Shouldn't we first study how disgraceful it is for two powerful brothers to join forces with courtiers to steal the younger brother's credit?
Lu Pheasant and Fourth Brother looked at each other.
One person tore up a painting.
Passing around meals and eating meals are also a harmonious scene of taking food from each other.
Before falling asleep, Si Age held little Fujin's hand and said, "Fujin, there is actually a rice seed with a higher yield."
Lu Zhi's eyes that were almost closed opened again.
Did the little beloved really hide some secrets that she accidentally ignored?
