After going to court, Su Mo was invited to the Tai Chi Hall by the eunuch.

"I hope the princess will wait for a moment until the servant comes in to report."

The little eunuch smiled kindly, bent down and said something to Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded and watched the little eunuch enter the palace. After a while, the little eunuch came out and made an invitation gesture.

"Princess, please."

"Thank you father-in-law."

Su Mo nodded and went in with his legs up.

She did not look around, but lowered her head slightly. When she reached the open space in front of Emperor Jingyong, she knelt down and saluted.

"My wife pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Su Qing, there's no need to be polite, get up quickly."

Emperor Jingyong smiled, and after Su Mo got up, he said: "Now that you are a guest of the Agricultural Bureau, you will pay me a visit in the future. You should change your self-titles..."

Su Mo glanced at the two officials standing aside with his peripheral vision.

There is a man and a woman. The man is older and the woman is younger. Their appearance is slightly similar.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "I obey my orders."

When Emperor Jingyong saw him coming, the smile on his face became even brighter. He looked at the man beside him and said, "Lin Sikong, I have found a "strong general" for you!
Not to mention the saline-alkali land improvement method proposed by Su Qing, which turned salt water into fertilizer. It was what she and the villagers in Luoshan Village called "fertilizer", which can double the crop harvest! "

Lin Sikong is over forty years old. He has a strong body because he walks in the fields all year round. His dark square face is full of vicissitudes of life. Although he is wearing clean court clothes, if you smell carefully, you can still smell a faint smell of earth. .

He handed over his hand, his serious face still without a hint of smile, but listening carefully to his voice, he was a little bit happy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have to thank you."

Lin Sikong's voice did not pause at all, but he turned slightly and looked at Su Mo, with a sincere look in his eyes, "I believe that with Mr. Su's help, the agriculture of Great Yong Dynasty will be bright in the future!"

Su Mo didn't feel happy at all about being complimented. On the contrary, she was a little scared.

Of course, it was not only Lin Sikong's words that lifted her to a high place, but also the "fertilizer" that Emperor Jingyong just mentioned.

You know, she never mentioned "fertilizer" in front of Emperor Jingyong, but Emperor Jingyong knew it and didn't even avoid it. He said it so straightforwardly, as if to say "Yes, I Someone was sent to investigate you.”

But even so, she couldn't be dissatisfied at all. At the feet of the emperor, all the ministers bowed their heads, the imperial power was supreme, and all the officials paid homage.

Su Mo forced out a fake smile and glanced at Lin Sikong's hands with deformed joints. "Mr. Lin, I am so complimentary. I am just lucky enough to have read relevant books about the saline-alkali land. If I encounter other difficulties in farming, , I’m afraid it’s better to rely more on adults.”

"Hey, Mr. Su is so humble..."

However, Lin Sikong disagreed. All the events that occurred during the improvement of the saline-alkali land in Luoshan Village were recorded in detail and sent to the Agricultural Affairs Bureau for him to read.

Washing the fields with water is a book recording Thaksin's letter, but when he finalized the details of digging canals and diverting water, it couldn't be what was written in the book, right?

Although it is recorded that this matter was negotiated between Xiao Jin and Gu Su, as a courtier, he was well aware of the twists and turns in the officialdom even though he walked in the fields all year round.

Talents are rare, and Lin Sikong was also happy. For a moment, he forgot that he was still in the Tai Chi Hall with the emperor sitting in front of him.

Fortunately, Emperor Jingyong didn't pay attention. He raised his eyebrows and coughed lightly.

Lin Ye, Lin Sikong's young daughter, expressionlessly raised her hand and pulled off Lin Sikong's sleeve.

Lin Sikong finally came to his senses and quickly bowed to Emperor Jingyong. "I am disrespectful to you. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

"Ai Qing, you are serious," Emperor Jingyong smiled and waved his hands, "I am very pleased to see that you two are so in tune with each other.

It's just that it's getting late, and there must be many government affairs in the Bureau of Agriculture that need to be handled by Aiqing. It just so happens that Su Qing is on her first day in office and is not familiar with the Bureau of Agriculture, so I will leave Su Qing to you, Aiqing. "

Lin Sikong responded quickly, "Here."

Emperor Jingyong nodded and looked at Su Mo again, "Su Qing must have felt a lot of discomfort since he was an official for the first time. If he encounters difficulties, just go to Lin Sikong."

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Emperor Jingyong nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, "Step back!"

"Wei Chen retire!"

Su Mo smiled and bowed his hands.

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Lin Sikong introduced the woman beside him to Su Mo as he walked, "Su Keqing, this is the young girl Lin Ye, who is also an official in the Bureau of Agriculture. I have been busy recently. If you have anything to ask me, If you don’t look for me, it will be the same if you look for her.”

Following his father's words, Lin Ye raised his eyes to meet Su Mo's probing gaze, pursed his lips and smiled.

Her smile was a little stiff, which showed that she usually didn't like to laugh, and her voice was a little cold: "Young Minister of the Agricultural Department...Lin Ye."

Lin Sikong was familiar with his daughter's temperament, but he was afraid that Su Mo would think too much about it, so he explained specifically: "Little girls don't like to smile by nature. I hope Su Keqing won't take offense."

Su Mo glanced at the face that also showed a bit of vicissitudes of life, shook his head, and smiled back at Lin Ye, "My guest from the Agricultural Bureau... Su Mo."

Lin Ye was startled, but said nothing. He just lowered his head and walked silently.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

Upon seeing this, Lin Sikong immediately changed the subject, looking eager for talents, "Su Keqing, I just heard your Majesty mention "fertilizer" when I was in the Taiji Hall. This thing can actually improve the harvest of crops. I turned it over several times, but I don’t know why…”

How can this be explained?

Su Mo frowned, thought carefully, and said: "How should I put it? This kind of seed is like a fetus gestating in the belly, and the mother's body is the land. If the mother's body is strong, the fetus' survival rate will be greater, and the fertilizer is like the mother's body." The things you take during the ten months of pregnancy..."

The two of them chatted about this matter, walked out of the palace, and went straight to the Agricultural Bureau in a carriage.

They all say that people live up to their names, but Lin Ye is just the opposite. He doesn't talk much and sits quietly in the corner, showing no hint of wildness.

But if you look closely, you can see that she is listening carefully to the conversation between Su Mo and her father with her ears pricked up, and her eyes are getting brighter.

The Agricultural Bureau is a small courtyard, a little far from the palace, but quite close to the city gate. After leaving the city gate, you can walk for two quarters of an hour to the royal village, where the fields have been divided into It was transferred to the Agricultural Bureau and used to plant improved crops.

Although Lin Sikong chatted happily with Su Mo along the way, when he arrived at the Agricultural Bureau, he got off the carriage and led people inside, when a servant came up and said a few words in his ear.

Lin Sikong's expression changed immediately. He didn't even have time to say anything to Su Mo, and hurriedly followed his servant into the back room.

Su Mo didn't react for a moment. He looked around and saw several desks in the room. They were messy, but there was no one on the seats.

Lin Ye skillfully walked to one of the desks, first took off his official hat, and then started to take off his official uniform.

After taking off his official uniform, he put it on the chair, then bent down, took out a piece of coarse cloth from under the desk and put it on.

After doing all this, Lin Sikong also walked out of it. He had already changed his clothes and said in a hurry, "Su Keqing, I have to go to the fields quickly. Let's go first. You can follow my daughter here later." "
