Ming Zuo

Chapter 558
Zuo Menggeng was stunned.

Is it so scary?
Actually started to study hybrid rice.

Although he doesn't know what the hybrid rice is, he thinks that the hybrid rice can increase production and income, and it may also absorb the advantages of other plants.

He knows even more how great Chen Zilong's research is.

And the only thing he can do is to use his limited knowledge of hybrid rice to help Chen Zilong go further.

"I suggest you go to the wild to look for male sterile plants, which can be used to hybridize with mature rice, and there may be unexpected harvest."

This is Zuo Menggeng's little understanding of hybrid rice.

This is because the death of Mr. Yuan in his previous life aroused his interest and he learned about it by chance.

However, just because of his words, the technological concept that crossed the era opened a window in front of Chen Zilong's eyes.

"Hey, why didn't I think of this?"

"Finding male sterile plants in the wild is a very difficult and luck-based process. Do you have enough funding?"

Zuo Menggeng is very generous with any opportunity to increase agricultural production capacity.

Chen Zilong did not accept his kindness.

"Part of the income of all farms belongs to our Ministry of Agriculture, so you don't need to worry about funding."

Unlike other departments, the Ministry of Agriculture is not just a purely functional department, but also makes good profits.

Because any research results of the Ministry of Agriculture will be handed over to various agricultural reclamation companies for implementation.

The land reclamation company makes a lot of money by relying on these technologies, and it is unreasonable not to give the Ministry of Agriculture a certain return.

Therefore, although the Ministry of Agriculture is unknown in the entire administrative system, it is actually the most nourishing.

That being the case, Zuo Menggeng felt relieved.

Chen Zilong thought of something again, and sincerely said to Xu Guangqi: "Mr. Xuan Hu, we have really achieved a lot recently, and we plan to add it to the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration". Please agree."

Xu Guangqi only felt that he was too careful.

"When the old man wrote the book, he was thinking of benefiting the common people. If you have such kindness, the old man will take advantage of it."

With his consent, Chen Zilong was very happy.He was very busy and didn't want to gossip, so he turned and went back to the rice field.

Fu Yijian came running from a distance.

"Commander, the agreement passed back from Cangzhou needs your signature."

Zuo Menggeng was overjoyed.

"It looks like the deal is over."

Xu Guangqi also knew that he was busy, so it was very rare for him to come here to accompany him for a while.

"Go to your own business, don't delay the business."

Zuo Menggeng had no choice but to say to Xu Ruolin: "Grandfather, take care of him. If it gets cold, go back quickly."

Before Xu Ruolin took over the cart, Liu Rushi was obedient and rushed ahead.

Seeing this, Zuo Menggeng felt relieved and ran back to deal with business.

Liu Rushi pushed Xu Guangqi, accompanied Xu Ruolin, and continued to wander along the country road.Her gaze, however, involuntarily looked at the ups and downs among the rice seedlings.

Xu Ruolin noticed it and couldn't help asking, "Don't you recognize him?"

Liu Ru suddenly realized.

"I seem to have seen it."

Xu Ruolin smiled lightly, "He is Chen Zilong."

"ah!"

Liu Rushi exclaimed, it was rare for her to lose her composure.

"Back in the day, when Chen Zilong was furious in fresh clothes, he ran across the south of the Yangtze River, and he could become a teacher of millions with one article. Everyone said that Jiangnan was very talented, and he Chen Zilong had eight points. Why did he come here and still do...still do..."

She originally wanted to say that Chen Zilong was engaged in "slightly degrading" farm work, but she couldn't help but get stuck when she thought that they were treated equally here.

However, his eyes were always aimed at the figure that was getting further and further away, and there was a sense of loss and depression in his heart.

Time passed, she did not stay in Jiangnan, and Chen Zilong was not the original scholar.

Those who have never met before, naturally have no love.

Now that they met in different places and met for the first time, Liu Rushi didn't know whether he was lamenting the disappearance of a great talent, or because he was surprised by the fate of such a person.

After Zuo Menggeng went back, he reviewed the agreement with Hou Xun and others one by one, and found that everything was exactly the same as the original plan.

"It seems that Meng Angong and the others talked well. This time we got what we wanted."

Zhang Zhenxiu was arrogant.

"How can we allow the court to be half-hearted?"

Cao Wenheng thought more about it.

"We can sign here as soon as possible, but I don't know what the emperor thinks?"

Zuo Menggeng had already picked up a pen, signed his name on the agreement, and then handed it over to Fu Yijian for his seal.

"Under the general situation, he can't be allowed to act recklessly. Unless he dares to risk the crime of the destruction of Ming Dynasty and the ruin of Jiangshan."

Although Chongzhen was headstrong, he obviously did not dare to take such a risk.

So three days later, Shandong and the court sat together again.

Both parties signed a good agreement, used precious red velvet cloth as the cover, and then exchanged on the spot.

This means that an agreement recognized by both parties has been reached.

Zhang Fengyi's face was full of bitterness.

Although the Shandong side guaranteed that the agreement would not be revealed, he couldn't guarantee how long the court would keep the sieve secret.

Once it gets out, those censors can't do anything to the emperor, but he, the negotiator in charge, may be torn to pieces.

"Everyone, now that the agreement has been reached, according to the agreement, we will rescue King Lu as soon as possible. I don't know who will be the envoy on your side to go south with our army to Yanzhou?"

One of the clauses in the agreement is that Shandong is responsible for rescuing King Lu from trouble.

Now that the agreement has been signed, the Shandong side is very honorable and has taken the initiative to mention this matter.

Zhang Fengyi shuddered, and suddenly remembered that there was a ticking time bomb, King Lu.

I don't know what's going on in Yanzhou?
If another accident happened to King Lu during this period, it is estimated that Chongzhen would definitely take him as the scapegoat.

But if King Lu was rescued, even if the agreement happened, he would still have something to say, so he wouldn't be speechless.

"In that case, Eunuch Gao and Master Lu will go with your army."

Whoever will go to Yanzhou as an envoy has been agreed a long time ago.

At that moment, the two parties dispersed, but Gao Qiqian and Lu Xiangsheng stayed behind.

Shandong abided by the agreement, packed up its soldiers and horses that day, returned the same way, and retreated to Dezhou.

Once the danger in the eastern part of Gyeonggi was lifted, many people inside and outside the ruling and opposition parties breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Banghua took Gao and Lu to the south and handed them over to Mao Yuanyi.

The Second Army has already been ordered by the High Command and has already begun to move south.

However, the movement of the Second Army was quite strange, and it did not go straight to Yanzhou.

The fourth division went south from Daicunba, one occupied Wenshang and the other occupied Ningyang, which cut off the way for Dongjiang rebels to flee northward and return to Jinan.

The second division took a detour to the west and captured Jining with lightning speed.

The third division in Mengyin has quietly moved to Surabaya and established a line of defense far to the east.

In Zou County to the south, there were also new army troops feigning movement, which were quickly detected by the rebels.

Looking around, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming suddenly found that the only direction they could go, seemed to be only one road.

At this time, they still haven't figured out what kind of great changes will be caused next.
