Chapter 140
"The courtiers send greetings to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Wenwen dragged Mrs. Wang to kneel down to salute.

The middle-aged man looked at Wenwen carefully, and exclaimed, "Hey, Mingyuan, you are a ghost girl."

"Your Majesty, you have a different demeanor. Wouldn't someone with a discerning eye understand it at a glance?"

"You're not real. Get up."

The emperor smiled, feeling very happy.

After Wenwen got up, she went to make tea herself, and Mrs. Wang was a little at a loss.

"Old man, sit down, tell me about the life of the peasant family, and let me know more about the actual situation."

Mrs. Wang saw that the emperor was very kind and unassuming, and when she thought about what I was afraid of, I was just a plain-headed commoner.

He simply sat down, "Your Majesty, what do you want to know?"

"I heard from Mingyuan that you know medicine?"

"It's not really a doctor. I'm a real doctor. We opened a medical clinic before. I've been working with men all my life, and I learned a few tricks from him.

Later, the man passed away, and I gave the villagers some medicine in the village to watch them get a headache. We guarded the mountain and relied on the mountain to eat the mountain.

We are all from the same village, and we are all relatives who have not paid five clothes. I don’t want their money for medical treatment.They take care of us old and weak, and the herbs they pick are brought to me. I earn two dollars by processing medicinal materials, and there are a few acres of land left by the man at home. "

"Oh, that day will be passable. The Mingyuan scientific examination requires money and tax money. There is nothing left after all the calculations."

"Yes, the first few years were hard. I don't care. The main reason is that my daughter-in-law went to the county town with me to set up a small stall to work for others. If I can't earn a few copper coins, I still want to send them back to me."

"Old man, you only have Mingyuan as a son?"

The emperor was a little puzzled, seeing the age difference, the old lady's hair was half white.

"I gave birth to two sons earlier. Later, due to the disaster year and the epidemic, our village was also hit hard. The two sons were not supported. Brother Yi is my old man, so he is very different from others in age. .”

"So that's what made you uncomfortable."

"It's okay, it's all over."

"Then how much catty can you produce per acre of land when the year is good, and how much can you have left after deducting the tax money and the grain paid?"

The emperor cares about how much the people have in their pockets. This is the real situation, and they can't just listen to the officials talking nonsense.

Mrs. Wang can't do anything else, but she has been taking care of farming all her life, and she can do it at her fingertips, and there is nothing she can't say.

The question and answer made the emperor very satisfied, and Wenwen made tea for the emperor.

The emperor picked it up and took a sip, his eyes lit up, "Good tea, this water is good, like morning dew."

"You are amazing. I have collected dew from flowers since spring. It is just such a small pot. It is a coincidence that you came here."

"Then it's a good time for me, good tea."

The emperor heard that Wenwen made a pot of tea with such care, and the tea was drinking well, and his mood was extremely clear.

The emperor chatted happily with Mrs. Wang, although the old lady has never seen much of the world, but this generation has experienced a lot of hardships, and was raised by everyone who can read and write, so she has a wealth of experience in her life.

The emperor really had a good chat with her, the old lady was like an endless treasure, which made the emperor very happy.

"Mingyuan, you have a good mother."

"What you're saying is, thanks to my mother and my second uncle who taught me, otherwise I won the ranking when I was young, and I was drifting for a while. I don't know what my last name is. Thinking about it now, I feel very ashamed."

"Are you young and frivolous? It doesn't matter. I was much more arrogant than you when I was young."

"Your Majesty, the humble house has prepared a few small dishes. Please try them. My mother and daughter grew some vegetables in the greenhouse. They barely survived. Would you like to try them?"

Seeing Wenwen gesturing, Wang Yi smiled.

"Okay, I heard from An Guogong that your family has green vegetables, but I'm so rare."

"Wenwen, is there any food left?"

"A small handful can barely make up two handfuls of dishes. I have finished all the presents, and they are gone."

Wenwen popped up and said something.

"You grow vegetables so well, are you good?"

The emperor asked whether it was good to plant winter vegetables.

"Growing vegetables in winter is very difficult because the temperature and pests are not easy to control. The vegetables are grown, but there are also more pests.

Otherwise, the temperature is not easy to control. If it is cold, it will freeze to death, and if it is hot, the roots will rot.We have to bask in the sun at noon, and my grandma and I have worked hard to order food for this. "

Wenwen is brave enough to ask for credit.

"Yes, let me take a look at what your greenhouse looks like."

"Okay, let's go, I will show you the way."

Wang Yi bent down to lead the way.

The emperor followed him to the greenhouse, and Wenwen made roller blinds out of wool felt on the shelves of the greenhouse, and put them away at noon to let the flowers and plants bask in the sun, and put them down at sunset in the afternoon to keep warm.

The whole conservatory is built with window frames, which are made of thick paper. In this era, there are glazes, and more glazes, which are made at low temperature. Most of them are jewelry, and glazed tiles are such things.

But almost none are made into windows, the cost is too high, and the craftsmanship is not up to the mark. This is because Wang Yi and Wenwen never took out the glass in the space, which is not the same thing at all.

The glazed tiles are colored glazes, not glass, mostly green, followed by yellow and blue, which are for the royal palace.

Most nobles and rich people use gray and white tiles and black tiles, and they use a little for the cornice, which is expensive.

Wang Yi really spent a lot of money to make this greenhouse. It was made of thick paper, and the ceiling was made with a device, wool felt, which is what the prairie people use in their felt houses.

Make it like a roller blind, put down the wool felt when it is cold, and roll it up during the day, open the windows to bask in the sun, and there is a fire wall in the house to keep a certain temperature all the time.

The thick paper window has two layers, the outer layer of thick paper can be opened during the day, and the inner layer of thin paper window is for the reflection of sunlight, and it will not be too cold.

After such a toss, the cost will be high, but the effect is also very good. It can be maintained in winter by growing flowers and grass.

But in the past few years, they were not good at serving them. The flowers and plants were about to die in winter. It was only after Wenwen came that he became more energetic. It can be seen that it is really not easy to eat this little green vegetable.

The emperor turned around, and Wenwen also specially demonstrated to him how his greenhouse uses sunlight and temperature, using multiple methods together.

There are also wooden boxes in the house made of flower pots, and the vegetables in them are already bald, and they have been cut off and eaten. Rows of vegetables have a small section of root exposed, and it can be seen that they are vegetables of different varieties.

"what is this?"

"Pea sprouts, this is garlic sprouts."

"Oh, it looks really good, I want to take some vegetables away."

The emperor asked for things outrageously like a child.

"I installed two for you, and there are not many more. You also saw that they were all cut off and separated."

Wenwen spread her hands, and it was gone. Almost all the people who had a good relationship gave a hand, but not many.

 Today I will add a new chapter for everyone. It is almost Chinese New Year and I am a bit busy.
