Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "This is a national scholar. In this case, let's go to Shang Jun's Courtyard."
Several ministers nearby tried hard to stop him: "Your Majesty, how can this be true since ancient times? How can the emperor come to visit and grant a title of marquis?"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Since ancient times, has anyone increased the yield of crops twelve times?"
The courtiers were silent.
In the face of absolute strength, all empty talk is empty.
What's more, Tian Weng and Xiang Lizhu are just two ordinary people who are obsessed with research. They are not the dignitaries who hold real power in the court.
Being polite to such people is called polite corporal. Not only will it not damage the emperor's dignity, but it will increase the emperor's reputation.
So Ying Zheng walked in the front, followed by hundreds of officials.
Sang Tian walked at the end with a sad face and mixed emotions.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Sangtian looked up and found Chunyu Yue looking at him with a comforting expression.
Sangtian sighed and said with some sadness: "Doctor, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue my job as a farmer."
Chunyu Yue said: "You must not belittle yourself. I believe that His Majesty has no intention of removing you from your official position. After all, chemical fertilizer is something that is unheard of and unseen. It is a wonder that has never been seen in ancient times."
"It doesn't matter that you had doubts about it before. It's actually reasonable. This is doing your duty."
Sangtian said: "Even if Your Majesty does not remove me from my official position, I have no shame to sit down in this position."
"I didn't have any achievements when I took up the position of Si Nong. But Tian Weng and Li Zhu saved thousands of people. Maybe I should abdicate in favor of talents and resign my official position voluntarily..."
Chunyu Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "What Tian Weng and Li Zhu are good at are research. But what you are good at is about agricultural management. There is a big difference between them."
"If you resign because of the so-called face, it will appear that you place too much importance on your reputation, and you are just trying to gain fame."
Sangtian said in a panic: "Thank you Doctor for your advice. If it weren't for Doctor, I would have made a big mistake."
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, it's nothing."
So the two people walked side by side and seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Sangtian thought to himself: With Dr. Chunyu defending me, it would be nothing if I don't resign. No one will say that I am shameless enough to stay here. Ah, very good.
Chunyu Yue thought to himself: This time, with the help of his own strength, he won over Si Nong. Well... the power to support Mr. Fusu has become stronger again.
Chunyu Yue drew Sang Tian into his camp, but he was not happy.
In Shangjun's courtyard, more and more things were made, and Chunyu felt more and more dangerous.
Those cameras and gramophones that were used to banish immortals were just for fun, they were nothing. But this fertilizer... has saved thousands of people.
As for Shang Jun's Courtyard, he is considered to be in the same group as Mr. Fu Yao.
Will these great achievements be attributed to Fu Yao?
When Your Majesty chooses a prince in the future, will he be inclined to Fu Yao?
Chunyu Yue sighed deeply. He suddenly felt that it might not be a good thing for Fusu to go to the army for training. If you stay away from His Majesty, you will be easily alienated.
"We have to find a way to get Fusu back as soon as possible." Chunyu Yue thought secretly in his heart.
Soon, Shangjun Courtyard had arrived.
Li Shui led the way and invited Ying Zheng in respectfully.
Then Baiguan was blocked out.
The ministers cursed loudly, then wrote an IOU, promising to send back 100,000 yuan of ticket money, and then went in.
Ying Zheng walked to the door of Tian Weng and Xiang Lizhu's small courtyard.
A craftsman stopped Ying Zheng and said in a very embarrassed tone: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Tian Weng and Miss Zhu are studying chemical fertilizers. Now they have reached a critical step and they cannot leave for a moment."
Li Shui scolded: "Nonsense, is there anyone more important in this world than the emperor?"
The craftsman looked horrified.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'll wait for a while. Didn't Chunyu Yue always say that the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Tian Weng and Zhu girl, this is researching fertilizers for the people, I Is there any reason for inequality?”
Li Shui took Ying Zheng to a room with a look of admiration on his face.
After Ying Zheng entered, Li Shui turned around and said to Chunyu Yue with a smile: "Your Majesty seems to be more and more interested in Confucianism. Sister-in-law, there is no need to thank me."
Chunyu Yue said nothing.
There is no way to accept this.
Ying Zheng did say something about the people valuing the monarch just now, but... But Chunyu Yue always felt, why is this so weird?
Huaiguzi helps promote Confucianism? He is so shameless, but he also understands Confucianism?
Li Shui invited Ying Zheng into a room, and then ordered people to offer tea and cakes. And several actors came and started to sing an opera. They sang about Guan Yunchang and flooded the seven armies, which shocked China.
Of course, the direction of the story changed later on.
Lu Meng indeed attacked Guan Yu from behind. But in Weiyang's story, Guan Yu showed his might and fought on two fronts. Starting from Maicheng, he turned defeat into victory, beat the enemy to pieces, and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Ying Zheng drank tea and listened to the play, with a slight smile on his face.
Yeah.
Now the world is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If there is enough food, mulberry and hemp can be grown, and everyone can afford clothes. The extra grain can be used to raise pigs and sheep, and everyone can eat meat.
This is a peaceful and prosperous age, a prosperous age that has never been seen by generations of wise kings such as Yao, Shun, and Yu.
At the same time, inside the institute.
Tian Weng and Xiangli Zhuzheng looked at Zhang Liang helplessly: "Sir, when are we going to see His Majesty? Is this going too far?"
Zhang Liang said confidently: "Don't worry, I don't dare to vouch for anything else, but I have already figured out the emperor's thoughts thoroughly. Your Majesty, I don't want you to delay for a while longer, so as to show that he is a polite and virtuous corporal."
Xianglizhu asked uneasily: "However, might your Majesty not care about us on the surface, but hate us so much in his heart?"
Zhang Liang said: "First, you have developed chemical fertilizers, which has brought the Qin Dynasty into a prosperous age. His Majesty has not had enough time to favor you. How can he hate you?"
"Second, after a while you can act sincere and frightened, even childish. His Majesty naturally thinks that you are sincere people without any scheming. Your reaction just now can be considered innocent and cute."
Tian Weng and Xiangli Zhu nodded in understanding.
Zhang Liang waited in the room for a while, then nodded and said, "It's almost done. You can go and see your Majesty."
So Tian Weng and Xiangli Zhu began to change clothes.
Zhang Liang only gave them a very short time.
Xiangli Zhu and Tian Weng were pulled out almost disheveled by him and brought to Ying Zheng.
The two men met Ying Zheng in embarrassment.
Ying Zheng observed these two people carefully.
Tian Weng was wearing a very decent piece of clothing. For a person of his status, this kind of clothing might only be worn during the holidays.
I heard that Tian Weng’s research mainly focuses on studying the composition of manure and then extracting fertilizer from the soil.
In this case, the clothes should be dirty.
But Tian Weng's clothes are indeed very clean, it can be seen that they have just been put on.
It's just that...the buttons of the clothes were wrong, so the clothes looked wrinkled.
As for Xianglizhu? The clothes were not wrong, but the clothes were obviously formal wear, with wide sleeves and wide robes, definitely not for work.
And the bun on her head was in the wrong place. There was a strand of hair hanging down, looking very embarrassed.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Your clothes..."
Tian Weng and Xiangli Zhu arranged their clothes in a panic, and then said helplessly: "The time is too short, and it is a bit hasty. Therefore, I am discourteous. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng sighed: "It seems that His Majesty has delayed your research."
Xiangli Zhu and Tian Weng even said they did not dare.
Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Have you made any progress in your research just now?"
Tian Weng boldly said: "Yes, there is great progress."
He somewhat clumsily praised Ying Zheng and said, "Originally, this research failed many times, but today it suddenly succeeded. Perhaps His Majesty arrived at Shangjun Courtyard, so the emperor's spirit made the research progress."
Ying Zheng laughed.
He looked at this old farmer with a weathered face, an honest man, trying hard to imitate others, and thought he was really cute.
Ying Zheng said: "I will make you the Marquis of Guannei."
Zhang Liang did not tell the two of them this news. Because Zhang Liang needed their shock.
Sure enough, both men were shocked.
Tian Weng's hands and feet began to tremble: "Me? Marquis? This..."
He almost fainted.
Just a few years ago, he was still a poor man digging out shit. How could he become a marquis in the blink of an eye?
It's a dream.
And Xianglizhu was even more shocked: Me? I am a woman, can women also be granted the title of Marquis? There is no such precedent since ancient times.
Xianglizhu keenly felt that this might be an important event that would go down in history.
Suddenly, a white light flashed.
A craftsman used a camera to capture the stunned expressions of Tian Weng and Xiangli Zhu.
Ying Zheng admired their surprise for a while, and then smiled and announced a series of rewards, including how many households, how many fields, and how much gold.
But these things are no longer important to Tian Weng and Xiangli Zhu.
The word "Fenghou" already made them dizzy.
Suddenly, Xiangli Zhu found Ying Zheng standing in front of her.
When she came back to her senses, she heard Ying Zheng ask: "I heard from Huai Guzi that you are Li Xin's sister? Is there anyone else in your family? Are your parents still there?"
Ying Zheng asked this casually. In fact, he guessed that Xiangli Zhu's parents were gone. Otherwise, how could he be a woman living alone in the capital?
Xianglizhu bowed solemnly, and then said: "Your Majesty, my parents are no longer alive. And... my surname is not Li."
Ying Zheng asked curiously: "What's your last name?"
Xianglizhu said: "My surname is Xiangli."
Ying Zheng was slightly startled: "This last name..."
At this moment, Ying Zheng remembered that there was once a group of people, the leader of which was also named Xiangli, and they were Mo people.
Sure enough, Xianglizhu said: "I am a descendant of Mohist."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized.
Mohists are illegal in Da Qin. Although there is no clear legal provision. But at the beginning, King Qin expelled Qin Mo, and then Chu Mohe Qi Mo assassinated Li Shui.
Therefore, as long as Mohist dares to reveal his identity, he will definitely be arrested.
However, Ying Zheng was an emperor and had the confidence of an emperor. He did not take the person away in a hurry, but asked calmly: "Then how did you enter Shang Jun's Villa?"
Xiangli Zhu said respectfully: "I am Qin Mo."
One sentence made Ying Zheng feel slightly relieved.
Although Qin Mo was once expelled by the King of Qin and was not very popular, his relationship with Da Qin was not so bad that it was hopeless.
Later, Xiangli Zhu told how Qi Mo and Chu Mo came to assassinate him and how they came to assassinate Li Shui.
After Ying Zheng heard this, he felt completely relieved about Xiangli Zhu.
Unexpectedly, Xiangli Zhu said solemnly: "Please forgive Qi Mo and Chu Mo, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng's face changed slightly, and he said unhappily: "Qi Mo and Chu Mo assassinated Huai Guzi. How can I pardon them?"
Xianglizhu said: "Their assassination was not successful after all. Moreover, although Qi Mo and Chu Mo have different focuses, they also have their own uniqueness in terms of ingenuity. If they can enter Shang Jun's Villa, they can become my assistants." , combining the power of the three inks, we should be able to make more good things."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui: "What do you think?"
Li Shui smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, with my status today, I can't afford to offend a few petty thieves."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said to Li Shui: "What do you think the Mohist will do to the world?"
Ying Zheng could not accept some of the principles promoted by the Mohists, and considered them to be deviant and treasonous.
However, Li Shui said calmly: "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of schools of thought. Various theories emerged in endlessly. However, it was the emperor who really controlled the world."
"No matter how wonderful a hundred schools of thought are, they will be sold to the emperor's family. Why should your majesty worry?"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he smiled and said to Xiangli Zhu: "I have pardoned Qi Chumo. However, if they want to do evil again, I will never forgive them lightly."
Xiang Lizhu thanked him profusely.
After Ying Zheng praised Xiangli Zhu and Tian Weng again, he planned to return to the palace.
On the way back, the courtiers kept saying goodbye. In the end, only a few important ministers followed behind Ying Zheng.
These people hesitated to speak, and Ying Zheng naturally guessed that they had something to say. But there's no need to ask now, let's wait until we enter the palace.
Li Xin said to Li Shui: "What do you think these adults are going to say?"
Li Shui shook his head: "I don't know."
Li Xin asked curiously: "If you don't know, why do you want to enter the palace?"
Li Shui said: "What if they say bad things about me behind my back? I think it's better to keep a close eye on them."
Li Xin nodded in agreement.
Li Shui looked at him curiously: "Then why do you want to enter the palace? Do you know what these adults are going to say?"
Li Xin chuckled: "Of course I don't know either. But... I thought there might be something fun to watch, so I came over to take a look."
Li Shui: "..."
I really envy this kind of people, who have no worries about food and clothing and have nothing to eat.
As for me, I care about the world and work hard every day for the sake of the people in the world.
Li Xin looked at Li Shui and thought: What's going on? Brother Huai's expression... Why did he suddenly start to pretend again?
