"Master Nong went to sea?" Chu Ze paused and asked in confusion, "It's so good, what is he going to sea for?"

Thinking of how this adult came back after going to sea a few days ago, Chu Ze's expression was a little subtle.

The officer answered honestly: "Master Nong is going to see the navy."

See the Navy?

Chu Ze suddenly became happy.

I'm afraid it's fake to just look at the navy, but it's real to experience a new ship.

No matter which one it is, Chu Ze is waiting for him today.

"Then let's go in and wait for him." Chu Ze walked inside.

The policeman didn't stop him either.

When Chu Ze walked away, he turned around and whispered to his companions: "Quickly, take a small boat to find Mr. Nong and tell him that Mr. Chu is here."

"Okay."

The little friend nodded and ran away.

Chu Ze waited in the government office for less than half an hour when Nong Yesi came back.

The steps are hurried and the clothes are flying.

Taking three steps and two steps, he walked to sit opposite Chu Ze.

Before Chu Ze could speak, Nong Yesi shouted loudly: "Water, bring water quickly."

The maid brought tea, and he took off the lid and took a sip.

After one cup, his thirst was still not quenched, so he simply asked someone to bring the teapot and drink it at the spout.

Chu Ze's eyes widened when he saw it.

I didn't even notice that I dropped the peanut in my hand.

Nong Yesi, who finally drank enough water, lay facelessly in a chair and let out a sigh of contentment.

Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly.

He bent down, picked up the fallen peanuts, blew on them, and threw them into his mouth. While chewing the peanuts, he said with disdain: "Mr. Farmer, there is no water on the boat. Look how thirsty you are."

Nong Yesi tilted his head slightly and glanced sideways at Chu Ze.

Then he smiled, his expression still a little silly.

He explained: "Didn't we forget to drink?"

"Didn't you get on the boat to experience it? How could you experience it so much that you forgot to drink water?"

Then he must be too immersed in this experience.

Chu Ze didn't believe it.

The embarrassment on Nong Yesi's face became even stronger: "You know everything?"

Chu Ze rolled his eyes and just looked at him.

Iron ships officially entered the sea, and the navy gradually got on track.

As a "parent", he is not allowed to witness the growth of his "son"?

Besides, the feeling of sitting on a steam boat is really different from that of an ordinary wooden boat.

He understands that Nong Yesi is addicted.

Chu Ze's "what do we know" expression made Nong Yesi even more embarrassed.

He raised his hand to his lips, coughed twice awkwardly, then sat up straight and straightened his clothes.

After making sure that there was no unnecessary wrinkle on his body, Nong Yesi just spoke seriously: "Although we have selfish motives, we still do our best. Mr. Chu, when you are free, you can go to the sea and have a look. Our current navy , it can be said to have been completely transformed.”

Compared with the previous naval forces, it is simply a world of difference.

Nong Yesi raised his chin proudly, a little proud.

Chu Ze has also heard about it these days.

In today's navy, steamships sail very smoothly.

The tactics are also practiced well.

With the sacrifice and cooperation of the water bandits in Quanzhou, the navy's tactics have steadily improved.

It's a good thing.

Chu Ze leaned towards Nong Yesi's direction, hooked his fingers, and motioned for Nong Yesi to come closer.

After Nong Yesi got closer, Chu Ze said mysteriously: "We are here today, and we have something good to tell you that can change Quanzhou's appearance."

Nong Yesi's eyes lit up.

"What good thing?"

The current Chu Ze, in Nong Yesi's eyes, is a figure comparable to a god.

As soon as he came, the water bandits were eliminated, iron ships were built, and maritime transportation was opened.

They even traded with foreign countries.

If they continue like this, they might be able to develop even better than Yingtian Mansion... Ahem, you can't say this, you'll lose your head if you say it. Just keep quiet and make a fortune.

Nong Yesi covered his mouth and just looked at Chu Ze expectantly.

Chu Ze moved closer, getting closer to Nong Yesi's head.

"Grow cotton."

"..." The smile on Nong Yesi's face froze, and his expression was a bit confused, like a cell phone that was stuck. It took a moment for the reaction to return to normal, and then he slowly spit out, "Huh?"

He expressed his doubts vividly.

Nong Yesi sat upright instantly.

He looked at Chu Ze in confusion, wondering why Chu Ze suddenly thought of growing cotton.

Chu Ze met his gaze and repeated calmly: "Grow cotton."

"Is this a crime worth doing?" Nong Yesi looked confused.

He knew cotton and had seen it.

In the previous dynasty, officials promoted it.

But the effect is not good.

Not many people plant it.

Until now, cotton has existed like a weed in Quanzhou and even throughout Fujian.

At most, those who have a little leisurely mood will treat it as flower seeds.

Now Chu Ze actually wants to grow cotton.

He also said that he could change Quanzhou's appearance.

Isn't this a joke?

Nong Yesi laughed out loud.

He waved his hands and said with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Chu, if you want to grow cotton, you can just choose a land and grow it yourself. Why do you need to find us?"

As a parent official, that is just a metaphor.

Not really parents.

It doesn’t matter who grows what flowers.

Nong Yexi thought it was funny.

Chu Ze didn't smile.

He looked at Nong Yesi seriously.

After he stopped laughing, he said to Nong Yesi in a very serious tone: "Master Nong, we are not joking with you. After cotton is picked, you can make quilts, cotton clothes, and spin and weave cloth. It can improve the quality of your life." Good things for people’s lives.”

"Is it that good?" Nong Yesi looked suspicious.

If it's so good, then why didn't cotton develop during the previous dynasty?

Chu Ze nodded heavily: "Of course. You don't believe it, do you?"

Nong Yesi spread his hands, dusted the hem of his clothes casually, smiled at Chu Ze and said, "It's obvious that we don't doubt him."

"..." Chu Ze suddenly choked.

He pointed at Nong Yesi and gritted his teeth in anger.

Nong Yesi saw that Chu Ze was really angry, and immediately thought of a way.

"Hey, Mr. Chu, don't be angry. Otherwise, you can write a memorial and write down all the benefits of cotton. As long as the emperor approves it, we can do whatever you want, don't you think so?"

Chu Ze pointed at Nong Yesi and sneered: "Are you afraid of taking responsibility?"

Nong Ye didn't even think about answering, he just laughed.

Not denying it is tantamount to admitting it.

Chu Ze finally saw that this was what the old boy was thinking.

It really pissed him off.

Fortunately, this year's cotton planting season has passed.

Otherwise, Chu Ze should deal with him.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's write the memorial now. When the memorial comes, you..."

"Don't worry, after the memorial is over, we will do whatever you ask us to do, Mr. Chu. Even if you let us lie in the ground and let others plow it, we won't have a problem." Without Chu Ze's need to say anything, Nong Yesi swore proudly, patting his chest.

Chu Ze rolled his eyes at him, stood up and left.

Nong Yesi waved to Chu Ze from behind: "Master Chu, walk slowly."

Chu Ze waved his hand wordlessly as a response.

This old boy, it's true, he wasn't afraid when he was asked to directly form a navy, but he was afraid of growing cotton. (End of chapter)
