Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 46 Quyuanli

Emperor Xuanwen saw the jar of chili sauce on the table, which had not yet been opened, and said with a smile: "You silly monkey, what did you bring to deceive Chun'er again?"

Concubine Chun said with a smile: "How dare he do it? His Majesty doesn't support me? Just hit him."

Zhou Shaoyu opened the buckle of the jar in front of Emperor Xuanwen, and a spicy smell instantly filled the room. The smell had never been smelled before, but it was so tempting.

He took out a few spoonfuls with a silver spoon and poured them on the plate. Zhou Shaoyu asked Zhou Huaiyu to taste it first. This was not because his aunt came first and then the emperor, but because his aunt tasted it and let the emperor know that it was not poisonous.

Zhou Huaiyu ate it. It was fragrant and spicy. The taste could not be described in words. The graininess of the beef inside and the flash of mushroom dices were simply too magical.

Spicy, not BT spicy.

I just took a bite and felt a little hot on my tongue. I paused for a moment, but I couldn't help but pick it up again.

Can't stop anymore.

He even called the palace maid to bring some food.

When the rice was brought, Chun Fei directly scooped out the chili sauce and mixed it with the rice. It was a joy to eat.

"It's delicious. It's so delicious. Please try it, Your Majesty." Concubine Chun immediately took a spoon and filled some more for the emperor.

The eunuch brought rice to Emperor Xuanwen, and also brought two white flour pancakes, which were coated with beef chili sauce. Emperor Xuanwen took a bite, and Concubine Chun and Zhou Shaoyu both looked at him.

Another bite.

faster and faster.

After finishing one piece of cake in one go, Emperor Xuanwen had a great appetite and called to the eunuch: "Bring me another piece of cake and put more beef chili sauce on it."

"Jingchen, where did you get this?" Emperor Xuanwen asked. He wanted to eat it for a long time.

Zhou Shaoyu immediately waved his hand: "I met a few businessmen from the Western Regions in Nanyang City and made this myself. That's all. I won't take any more."

Emperor Xuanwen began to have greedy things crawling in his stomach and said, "How much room do you have left? Bring me two more cans."

Zhou Shaoyu said there was only a little bit.

"How much is a little?"

"A small jar" Zhou Shaoyu gestured, a small jar.

Emperor Xuanwen immediately decided: Give it all to me. I have had a bad appetite for many days, and this is very appetizing.

Zhou Shaoyu quickly diverted Emperor Xuanwen's attention, showed him the soap, and also tested the decontamination effect on the spot.

Emperor Xuanwen didn't take it seriously. No matter how useful it was, it was just an object.

Zhou Shaoyu said: "Do you know how much a piece of this soap will cost?"

"How many?"

"This box costs 16 taels of silver." Zhou Shaoyu looked at Emperor Xuanwen and was a little moved, adding to the fire, "Miss Xie San developed this soap and made more than 1000 pieces. Part of it was used for experiments and the response was good. She asked I will dedicate the remaining 1000 yuan to His Majesty."

Emperor Xuanwen was surprised: "Which Miss Xie San?"

"She is the legitimate daughter of Xie Anfeng, who was exiled to Lingnan."

Emperor Xuanwen thought for a while, but had no impression.

Zhou Shaoyu introduced her in detail, and Emperor Xuanwen said: "Since she is the legitimate daughter of the former Marquis Mansion, and she is of such a beautiful nature, why does the Marquis Mansion hide her so tightly?"

Zhou Shaoyu told Emperor Xuanwen truthfully what Xie Jinrong and old Shen had done, which made Emperor Xuanwen very angry.

"This old man is a scumbag. I have punished him too lightly. He will never be pardoned in this life. He will never come back."

Emperor Xuanwen nailed Xie Jinrong, Xie Anhuai and Xie Qingmu in one sentence, and had a very bad impression of Xie Xiangxiang.

King Xi was ready to make a move, and Xie Xiangxiang was not a good person. Fortunately, the two of them did not get together, otherwise the entire royal family would be in chaos.

Zhou Shaoyu calmly applied eye drops to Xie Xiangxiang, Concubine Guigui, and King Xi, and then said that Miss Xie San had a treasure to offer to His Majesty. Emperor Xuanwen didn't ask what it was, and Zhou Shaoyu didn't say anything. The Chunfei Palace was not a court, and there was no need for people in the harem to know.

Emperor Xuanwen told Zhou Shaoyu to send him to the court tomorrow morning.

When Zhou Shaoyu was seventeen years old, the emperor only allowed one "crouching tiger" to supervise the censors in the capital and surrounding areas, but he did not actually delegate real power. Usually, Emperor Xuanwen had some things that he couldn't handle, so he asked him to do it. Zhou Shaoyu was a scapegoat.

There are no requirements from the superior government. If you have something to do, come and see. If nothing happens, don't come and cause trouble.

The next day, Zhou Shaoyu came to the court seriously and presented Quyuanli's drawings and samples to Emperor Xuanwen.

In the entire court, most of the officials had never seen a straight-column plow, let alone a straight-column plow.

However, Emperor Xuanwen had stayed in the countryside before he ascended the throne and was very familiar with farming. When he saw this curved shaft plow, he immediately understood its profound value.

"Miss Xie San is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and cares about the sufferings of the people. It's a pity that she was implicated by this bastard Xie Jinrong. Does she have any grudges against me?" Emperor Xuanwen looked at Zhou Shaoyu and asked.

This is a gift. Zhou Shaoyu can never say how good his relationship with Xie Yanyan is.

"I never heard of it when I was here."

He said that he accidentally met the exile team in an inn and saw that the prisoners were working during their rest. He felt strange, so he went to ask about it.

"After asking, I found out they were making soap."

"The soap was thought up by Miss Xie San. We all make it together. Miss Xie San said that prisoners who work to support themselves can save money for the court and understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts. This is called reform through labor."

"I thought it was strange, so I asked a few more questions. Miss Xie San heard about my name, so she asked me to bring the drawings and Qu Yuuli back to Your Majesty."

Ms. Xie did not deliberately seek credit.

Isn't it normal for someone to invent soap and then a plow?
Emperor Xuanwen smiled and said: "You have a great reputation. How dare she hand over such an important Kit Kat to you!"

"I asked her why she wanted to take it back to me? She said..."

He paused for a moment and looked at Emperor Xuanwen. Zhou Shaoyu blushed, but said confidently, "The third lady said that I don't look like a greedy person, because I am a stick in the mud."

The whole court was amused.

Emperor Xuanwen laughed loudly and cursed: "Look, even the women in the boudoir know that you don't seek to improve. I will give you some work to do, and you can't mess around anymore."

Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhou Shaoyu suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his arms, and presented it to Emperor Xuanwen.

He said this was given to His Majesty by Miss Xie San.

Emperor Xuanwen immediately asked the eunuch to hand it to him, opened it and looked at it for a while. The smile on Emperor Xuanwen's face could not be stopped.

The letter was very simple, but the emperor read it over and over again, and the more he read it, the happier he became.

The Prime Minister couldn't help but ask: "What did the Third Miss say? Can I share a little of His Majesty's joy?"

Emperor Xuanwen gave the letter to the prime minister and said, "Read it yourself!"

The prime minister held it in his hand. The prince was a little itchy next to him, but he didn't dare to go and take a look without permission.

"Your majesty, the wise and wise emperor, the guilty minister and daughter are in exile. I am grateful to your majesty in my heart. The thunder, rain and anger are all God's grace.

The Quyuan plow will definitely improve farmers’ efficiency, grow more food, and no one will go hungry again.

The sinful minister's daughter is so tired that she is bald from thinking about these ideas. Your Majesty will surely reward her with something, right?

I have heard of Zhou Shizi before, so it would be best to ask him to bring Quyuli to His Majesty.

Your Majesty, please reward him with something on behalf of the guilty minister. The guilty minister is so poor that she can’t even eat and has no money to pay for his travel expenses..."

The Prime Minister couldn't help but laugh when he saw it: "Miss Xie San is smart and wise. She always regards Your Majesty as her god at a young age. I think she deserves a reward!"
