Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 322
"There is indeed one matter that needs to drag the empress to make up her mind." Brother Rong whispered, "The boy was ordered by the thirteenth master to write agricultural books in the mansion. Now some progress has been completed, but there is an matter at the moment, and I don't know what to do." It should not be included in agricultural books."

Princess Zhongshun listened in amazement, and said curiously: "Why don't you ask the Thirteenth Lord about these things after he returns to Beijing, and let the Lord make up his mind."

Brother Rong replied awkwardly: "Boy, I will save the Thirteenth Master from returning this time, and he will give priority to recuperating his illness. I really dare not disturb you with such things. Now that the experimental fields in the Water Conservancy Farm are in the harvest season, in fact, everything is not right. We can get a result for a while, but this matter has no end."

"What's the matter?"

"The boy heard that this dynasty and Eros have recently discussed the border issue again, and they plan to completely transfer the large areas of land to the east of Baihar Lake and west of Heilongjiang to the Eros Kingdom."

Concubine Zhongshun nodded politely, and said: "I have heard about it. But Brother Rong has some misunderstandings. It is not the transfer of the country, but the land that Mobei Mongolia has insufficient control. Dayan and Eros established the Yan'e Trading City."

Jia Rong asked anxiously: "Will Qiaktu be owned by Eros from now on, and Baihar Lake will be completely owned by Eros from now on?"

"The border of Kyaktunaiyan'e is the advantage of being a commercial place between the two countries. For a hundred years, that land has been mostly controlled by Eros. The bitter cold place with rare inhabitation has Eros working hard to maintain it, but it is also given to Dayan. It saves a lot of things." Princess Zhongshun said casually.

The empress smiled softly, and said again: "Qiakhtun faces Mobei Mongolia Kulun in the south, and with Mobei Mongolia sandwiched in between, Dayan also has less worries about Eros intrusion. Besides, Eros will send troops to assist at the same time. Dayan pacified Zhungeer."

"It hasn't been disturbed yet, but I gave the place to Youbang first." Brother Rong muttered in a low voice.He sighed and said, "Zungar must be peaceful, and Eros must not be indulged. Today they have Baihar Lake and Qiaktu; tomorrow they will be able to invade the outer Xing'an Mountains in the south, and even enter Liaobei in the east."

"What nonsense?" Princess Zhongshun stared at Brother Rong with bright eyes, and said angrily, "If your remarks spread, I'm afraid you will make people laugh at me. I've read the news from various provinces recently, and I'm discussing to open a The ten-thousand-mile tea ceremony. Starting from Wuyi Mountain in Chong'an and Anhua in Changjun as the second, it goes through Hankou, Fancheng, Mengjin, Taiyuan, Yanmenguan, Zhangjiakou and Guihua City in two routes, east and west, and passes through Mobei Kulun in order to bring Dayan tea, silk, The porcelain was shipped to Kyakta."

Brother Rong was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect Princess Zhongshun, as a concubine in the palace, to know so much about the real-time events.No wonder there are often rumors that the Thirteenth Lord consults with Princess Zhongshun on many important matters, and it is even rumored that the Thirteenth Lord is the one behind the scenes.

In this way, Jia Rong was even more sure that it was not a wrong choice to talk to Princess Zhongshun about this matter.

Brother Rong said: "Although opening up business can benefit the country, if we give up Qiaktu and Baihar Lake, we will lose even more."

"What do you want to say?" The concubine frowned, and said displeasedly, "The official business you have at hand has nothing to do with Chakta, it has nothing to do with affairs, so don't ask more questions."

"How can it be irrelevant!" Brother Rong took out a folded letter from his arms angrily, and said, "Your Majesty must have heard that the Jia family sent people to Heishan Village. The Futian assigned to the Ningguo Mansion actually has another important task, which is..."

"What is it? Why don't you say it again."

"That thing... I really don't know whether I should tell my mother about it, just like the agricultural book in my mother's hand. I don't know whether I should write that strange thing into the agricultural book. It is really involved, and it even affects Dayan hundreds of people. People's livelihood in the next year."

"Is there such a thing in the world?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the objects of the Ningguo Mansion, but you heard that the boy was in Lihentian for a while?"

Princess Zhongshun paid attention to what Brother Rong said.Looking at Brother Rong, he said, "Why don't you tell me everything?"

"The boy knows that the empress will never harm me, so I have no choice but to come to the empress to solve the puzzle." Brother Rong chuckled twice, trying to dilute the serious atmosphere in the room.

Haosheng said: "As far as I know, there is a large area of ​​strange stones and brine in the west of Baihar Lake and near the north of Qiaktu. A kind of fertile soil can be refined from the stones and brine, and it can be used to provide food, vegetables and fruits An additional increase of more than [-]%."

"[-]%?" Princess Zhongshun was thinking.

Brother Rong took the opportunity to say again: "The world's grain production cannot increase. One is because of the seeds, the second is because of the rustic atmosphere, the third is because of the techniques, and the fourth is because of the fertilizer. Nowadays, techniques are also written in the agricultural books, and the agricultural books of various provinces are also related to water conservancy. Yingtian Fuzhong is looking for a higher-yield planting method. If it can be used with the fertilizer of Chaktu, the increase of [-]% per mu of Dayan fertile land will not be enough."

He paused, seeing that the concubine was still thinking, and then continued: "The boy promised Thirteenth Lord that he would solve the problem of camping and food shortage for Thirteenth Lord. Now he started to solve the problem of techniques, fertilizers, etc. As for the problem, in the future, we will be able to conduct detailed research on grain seeds, and the rustic atmosphere of each province and county. I just hope that no one will starve to death in Dayan."

"Don't put all the credit on Master Thirteen." The concubine woke up from her thoughts and glanced at him lightly.This time his eyes had long since lost the seriousness he had just had, and there was even a hint of seductiveness in his eyes.

This kind of charm is definitely not what the princess wanted to show, it's just her relaxed natural expression.

But this is so, and Brother Rong couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look at him.He could only hear the beating of the heart in his chest, it was a powerful beating sound, playing in his ears and brain.

Then I heard the princess say politely: "If this matter is true, Rong'er has done a great thing. Don't lower your head, and you are not blamed."

Brother Rong stared blankly at a hand waving in front of him, that hand had delicate and beautiful five fingers, and even the nails on the five fingers were very beautifully manicured.

Then came the voice of Princess Zhongshun. "Thirteenth Master and I really saw the right person, what a good brother. Come to me, and let us have a good look at it. Sigh... there is no son and brother in the palace who are as promising as you .”

As an old rascal in two lifetimes, Jia Rong couldn't help feeling shy at this moment.Kui Kui raised her head, and looked at Princess Zhongshun with eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction.Obediently move over and get closer.

Then I heard the concubine say: "Back then, when I recognized my son as a goddaughter, I just wanted to protect you, but I didn't think that our palace might have to take advantage of you in the future. With such ability, why do we need it in the future?" Worried about the suffering of the family? Even if the descendants have to be shaded, the Jia family is really lucky."

Brother Rong was confused by what he heard, so he just lowered his head and held his breath beside him, not even daring to smell the fragrance of the princess.

I am afraid that I will lose my mind for a moment, and I am even more afraid that I will lose my mind in case.

"Why is this child so shy?" Seeing Brother Rong's appearance, the princess smiled lightly and raised her hand to pick Rong's chin, turning his head around.

It was a frivolous act of extreme disrespect, but Brother Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with what the princess did.

The gentle and kind voice of the empress rang in my ears.

"You look handsome too. If I had met you a few years ago, I would have asked the emperor to betroth the four princesses in the palace to you... However, my mother's family happened to have a niece who was in decline, and she didn't look like that. Lose to your daughter-in-law. Although she is a concubine, she is well-versed in books and etiquette. How about I make a decision and ask my niece to be Rong'er's second wife?"

"Eh..." What's going on, why did he mention the matter of the second room out of nowhere.

Brother Rong was confused, and cast a cautious look at the princess, it seemed that the empress did not look like she was joking.Jia Rongdun had a feeling of wanting to cry, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I haven't pointed out the maze to you yet, should we talk about the Qiaktu fertilizer, and should it be included in the agricultural book and passed on to the great master?" Yan people?"

The princess withdrew her hand slowly, and said: "I believe you in this matter. But people in the world may not believe it, and hundreds of officials may not believe it. It is useless for me to believe it, and it is useless even for the emperor to believe you. I said it immediately. , It will only cause a big battle. And listen carefully, if you are not sure, you have to keep your lips closed. Anything that is beneficial to yourself can only have real meaning when it is used in an emergency. "

"The boy doesn't understand."

The concubine said politely: "Don't think that there is a lady in your Jia family in the palace. Now that the family has been promoted again, and the affairs of Pingan Prefecture have not been pursued. So naively think that you can sit back and relax? Even the Zhongshun Prince's mansion is occasionally cautious. Live, let alone your Jia family? The old concubine of your old in-laws in the palace is dying, and the emperor has been sleeping more and waking up less recently. The two princes are getting older, and there are turmoil hidden in the palace. It can benefit the country No matter what happens in the future, others will not easily trouble you."

"This..." Jia Rong understood now.

As the wife of the first king of Yan, the concubine, she knew more inside information than many people.Now that the palace has come to another moment of turmoil, it is best for foreign relatives like the Jia family not to stand out at this time, otherwise...

Not standing in line is the best choice to save your life.

Brother Rong asked: "Is the royal matter really so serious?"

"You underestimate the benefits." Princess Zhongshun sighed back, "Rong'er, you know that I ordered a few days ago not to allow the son of the palace to have frequent contact with any prince, prince, or county king? The emperor is not a soft-hearted person, never has been. .”

The amount of information in Princess Zhongshun's words was a bit large, which even made Brother Rong have a bad guess.A kind of guess that dare not make random guesses in the bottom of my heart, no matter if I say a word to anyone.

I just feel that the sky is changing this time, it is really going to change, and it is a big change.

Jia Rong was still in shock, but at this moment she could hear the princess talking again.

"Brother Rong should have heard the news, and now he has decided to go to Iron Net Mountain for autumn in September. At that time, the palaces of the princes, county princes, princes, and generals, as well as the three Mongolian princes and nobles in Moxi, Monan, and Mobei , all gathered at Iron Net Mountain. At that time, the Thirteenth Lord just came back, but because of his illness, he only passed on the two elder brothers of the palace. At that time, Ronger will go there too."

"This..." Jia Rong really didn't want to go.

Qiu Xi has never been as simple as simply hunting.

It was an event similar to a military parade, a grand ceremony.On such an occasion, all the princes and nobles will use their best hands and feet, and it is normal to have some accidents in the mountains.

Jia Rong was afraid, afraid that someone who didn't have eyes or had an extra eye would hide in a corner and shoot secretly at him.

He didn't offend many people, but if he entered that kind of occasion, he would inevitably have a relationship with some sects.

At that time, if others misunderstood that they were standing in line, it would be too damn wronged.

Brother Rong said awkwardly: "Your Majesty knows about the boy. Although the officials have been told many times that they can only ride horses and not take sedan chairs, but the boy is always lazy and slippery in a carriage. If you have the ability to go to Iron Net Mountain, you will definitely be beaten." For your sake, isn’t your lady hurting me?”

"I don't mean to hurt you. I just want Brother Rong to watch over the brothers of the palace who are entering the mountain. You have always been a cautious person. With you in the past, Thirteenth Master and I can rest assured."

"Your Majesty thinks highly of this boy." Brother Rong complained in his heart. He was not cautious, but simply afraid of death and causing unnecessary trouble.

Seeing his appearance like this, Princess Zhongshun could only sigh quietly and could not force it.After all, although Jia Rong was in charge of the guard of the Zhongshun Palace, but also the official of the water conservancy camp and field envoy, he was not on the list of this autumn hunting.

In other words, Jia Rong is not qualified to participate in Iron Net Mountain Autumn Festival.

"That..." Brother Rong said naively: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. After all, the Iron Net Mountain Autumn is still in town, and nothing will happen. The boy is still in a hurry to go back and revise the agricultural book, and he has to go again recently. The water conservancy farm presides over harvesting and weighing. Today... the boy leaves first."

It's a little outrageous, but Brother Rong thinks this is definitely the best choice.

As Princess Zhongshun said, the Jia family still has to keep a low profile, especially on such special occasions.Not participating, not approaching, is the most appropriate approach.

The concubine picked up the agricultural book in her hand, and said calmly: "Look at the handwriting on it, it looks like a woman's. I'm afraid it wasn't written by you yourself?"

"This..." Brother Rong scratched his head, this... who made his Aunt Zhu such a warm-hearted person.

The so-called Gu Dao warm heart is to describe a person like Aunt Zhu.

Brother Rong smiled sarcastically, but he missed Aunt Nianzhu's old-fashioned heart very much.

The princess waved her hand and said: "Okay, take the book away, don't go if you don't want to go. The matter of the water conservancy camp farm is important, and the Thirteenth Lord is waiting for you to make achievements. I am waiting too. Don't let me down if you have done something good."

"Mm. I won't let the empress down." Brother Rong chuckled, took the agricultural book from Princess Zhongshun, and accidentally touched the jade finger of the empress, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Hastily handed over and left, went out to meet the female official Jiayi, and then left the palace.

On the way, I also thought carefully about what I heard from the princess today, and made up my mind not to write the potassium salt and potassium fertilizer into the agricultural book.When they arrived at the Ningguo Mansion, they recruited a few managers and asked them to select someone and send them to Heishan Village.

It took a while to think about finding someone from the clan to be the team leader.

On this day, at the beginning of September, Sister Feng's birthday, a group of girls, together with Li Wan and Baoyu, were drinking in Yixia Pavilion.

ps: The whole book has been revised for a long time today... only this chapter, try my best.
