"I didn't expect that Chen Qinghe's favorability level for me would reach 53 points!"

After Ning Fan took a look at Chen Qinghe's favorability, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Looking at the dignified man in front of him with a stern face, he felt a little more close to him!

"I wonder why Mr. Chen came to visit today?"

"Back to Your Highness, when I was received by Your Majesty the day before yesterday, I heard Your Majesty mention that it was Your Highness who recommended me in front of the emperor that I could receive the position of Minister of Household Affairs!"

"Therefore, after I take office today, I will come to see you immediately!"

Chen Qinghe has a rough voice, and he also has a sense of righteousness in his body. His speech and behavior are generous, and with the stubble on his face and tall figure, he shows his masculinity!

"I have always heard of Mr. Chen's reputation as a talented person, and he is upright and upright. I have managed the entire county to prosper!"

"I just mentioned it casually in front of my father. Mr. Chen is able to sit in this position now. He should be grateful to his father for his sage and virtue. In addition, Mr. Chen has been dedicated to serving the people over the years!"

"Hahaha!"

When Chen Qinghe heard this, he laughed and said: "I have admired Your Highness for your talent for a long time. Everything that happened in Beijing during this period has already been spread to the north and south of the Lijiang River!"

"Especially the strong national motto that His Highness said is simply world-shaking!"

"Your Highness also knows that this official once served as the Minister of Household Affairs and was later demoted from the capital. He was extremely unhappy with the atmosphere in the court. Because of his outspokenness, he offended many people!"

"But now that I have come back, the atmosphere in the court is completely new, and my subordinates are as if they are glowing with the new spring. I have great ambitions in my heart. This time I am going to create a new atmosphere for my Dayu!"

Chen Qinghe's words were extremely exciting, and his eyes when he looked at Ning Fan were full of admiration. His words were sincere and every word was sonorous. Even if it was only a short contact, Ning Fan knew that this person was worthy of reuse!

"good!"

Ning Fan greeted him and said calmly: "Before Mr. Chen came to my house, I was worried that Mr. Chen is a flattering person and I was afraid that I would recommend the wrong person!"

"But now that I see you, I feel relieved!"

"It is a blessing for the imperial court and a blessing for the people to hand over the Ministry of Household Affairs to Mr. Chen!"

Chen Qinghe laughed again when he heard this and said bluntly: "Although His Highness has recommended this official, public service is public and private service is private. I will not violate the bottom line for Your Highness!"

"Hahaha!" Ning Fan also laughed and said: "If you, Chen Qinghe, violate the bottom line and violate the national law, my royal guards will not be merciful!"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little sympathetic!



The palace!

Emperor Yu looked at the food on the table and moved his chopsticks, but he didn't have the slightest appetite!

Ever since he went to Prince Xuanyong's Mansion, his taste buds seemed to have been numbed, and everything he ate became tasteless!

"Wei Ying!"

"His Majesty!"

"Have you sent someone to the palace?"

"Your Highness?" A look of confusion appeared on Wei Ying's face, and she shook her head slightly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness did not send anyone here!"

"This little bastard!"

Emperor Yu cursed secretly, put his chopsticks on the table, and pondered for a moment: "In this case, you go and invite Prime Minister Shen to see me at Prince Xuanyong's Mansion!"

"yes!"

Wei Ying glanced at Emperor Yu with some doubts, bowed respectfully and sent someone to invite Shen Li.

"His Majesty?"

"Jing Li, put on some casual clothes and come with me to Prince Xuanyong's Mansion!"

"yes!"



After Ning Fan sent Chen Qinghe away, he asked Lin Yong to find a few craftsmen to test the materials for building a greenhouse in the courtyard!

"So, paper is theoretically feasible. Whether it is light transmittance or sealing, it meets the standards of a greenhouse?"

"Your Highness, if the weather is normal, it's fine. But if it rains or gets wet, I'm afraid the paper will rot!"

"Besides, the price of rice paper is comparable to gold. If we use paper to build a greenhouse, I'm afraid the paper will be wasted..."

Hearing the craftsman's answer, Ning Fan's face was filled with joy. In this case, it is feasible to use paper to seal it. Both the light transmittance and sealing properties barely meet the standards of a greenhouse!

"Don't worry, paper is not a problem!"

"Lin Yong!"

"exist!"

"Did you hear that? Go ahead and prepare a hundred catties of rice paper for me!"

"yes!"

Lin Yong didn't know what his second master was doing, but after hearing the order, he immediately started to do it!

"Here, take a look at the drawings!"

"The main structure of the greenhouse is made of bluestone, which requires an iron pipe for fire control and temperature control!"

"There is a temperature control area in the outer room of the greenhouse. A large iron pot is suspended upside down and connected to an iron pipe to circulate hot air and achieve the effect of temperature control!"

Ning Fan briefly explained the principles of the greenhouse, and several craftsmen nodded frequently, with a look of anticipation on their faces!

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will be able to set up the greenhouse frame in half an hour at most!"

"very good!"

Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction and was extremely excited. If the greenhouse could be built and the thousand seeds could be planted successfully, then next spring, potatoes and sweet potatoes could be grown on a large scale throughout Dayu!

"Master, the paper is here!"

Lin Yong shouted and strode over with two servants carrying a stack of papers.

"Put it there, don't you see I'm busy?"

"What are you yelling about!"

Ning Fan was interrupted by Lin Yong and scolded him somewhat displeasedly. Lin Yong smiled and didn't care, but stepped forward to help.

"Be sure to pay attention to the sealing of the iron sheet!"

"There must be no air leakage!"

There was no welding process in this era, so the blacksmith could only use molds to make it, which was no less difficult than forging a Bailian sword!

"Your Highness, what do you think of this subject?"

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Ning Fan nodded appreciatively. The one in his yard now is just a small greenhouse, no more than seven or eight meters tall!

So with the efforts of a group of craftsmen, it was built in just a stick of incense!

That is to say, there is no plastic film in this era. Otherwise, Ning Fan can build it alone without the help of others!

"Here, put one end of the bamboo pole on the ground and put the other end on the stone wall!"

"Put the paper flat on the bamboo pole, be sure to seal it!"

"yes!"

Ning Fan shouted, and the craftsmen below were also very energetic. It didn't take long for the movement in the courtyard to alert Zhuge Liang.

"Your Highness, what are you..."

“Build a greenhouse!”

"greenhouse?"

"Not bad!" Ning Fan said with a smile: "When my greenhouse is successfully built, I can plant it against the cold winter season!"

"this……"

Even Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Lin Yong said worriedly at the side: "Your Highness, is it going against the weather?"

"Your Majesty is here!"

Before Ning Fan could reply, he heard a loud shout from outside!

"Why are you here, Father?"
