Chapter 346: You Can Be an Official
Zhu Xuntao didn't know that the powerful Wei Shoufu was defending her, thinking that the Zhu family didn't deserve such a good daughter.
After the emperor finished speaking, she didn't say anything else and took the emperor to see the rice seedlings.
Facing such a straightforward Zhu Xuntao, the emperor's fussy habits were completely changed.
Not only did he not argue with Zhu Xuntao, but he also had an expression that "Zhu Xuntao is indeed a talent who can do practical and big things."
Xiao Jingzhan, who was walking behind the prince, observed that Minister Zhao seemed particularly silent today.
At this time in the past, Minister Zhao would have already moved closer to the emperor to find a sense of existence.
Is it because of the presence of Wei Shoufu and the fear of Wei Shoufu's power that Minister Zhao is so honest?
But Minister Zhao is not such a person.
"Your Majesty, the seedlings in this paddy field are cultivated by me. In a few days, they should be transplanted like potato seedlings."
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the rules of his status. He squatted down and reached out to touch these green seedlings.
There was no need for Zhu Xuntao to explain. Just by looking at how green the seedlings were, the emperor could tell how well the seedlings were growing.
"Very strong seedlings."
Even in a year of good weather and good rainfall, the people carried out spring plowing normally according to the solar terms, and the seedlings grew just like this.
Who could have imagined that Zhu Xuntao could still cultivate such good seedlings after the spring plowing was over.
"Although the seedlings are smaller than those grown under normal cultivation, at least they can be planted and will not delay this year's harvest."
"Good, that's great."
After witnessing with his own eyes how good the seedlings cultivated by Zhuxuntao were, which were almost the same as those in previous years,
the emperor was so happy that he said he must reward Zhuxuntao.
If Zhuxuntao didn't deserve the reward, then there would be no other meritorious officials in the Yong Dynasty in the future.
No one's contribution could surpass Zhuxuntao today.
Uncle Qian didn't know that the emperor recognized and admired Zhu Xuntao in his heart. When he heard the emperor's misunderstanding, he
ignored his fear of the emperor and quickly stood up to explain for Zhu Xuntao:
"Your Majesty, you don't know that these seedlings were soaked in special potions by the Crown Princess before they sprouted."
"After the Crown Princess's special treatment, these seeds will not only not get sick, but grow strong, and the growth rate is also faster than normal."
"Based on the current situation, it will only take one or two months for these seedlings to grow to the normal size after they are transplanted according to the Crown Princess's instructions."
The Crown Princess said that if she can make this year's seeds catch up with the progress of spring plowing, she will definitely be able to do it.
Even the emperor should not doubt what the Crown Princess said.
The emperor was startled at first, and then shocked.
Without Uncle Qian's explanation, the emperor really didn't know the situation was like this:
"Princess Zhu, but this..."
"Uncle Qian."
Zhu Xuntao replied,
"This uncle has watched me grow up since I was a child, and he is also a person who helps me a lot."
"All my achievements are due to Uncle Qian's help."
Zhu Xuntao's words are not exaggerated at all, Uncle Qian is so important to her.
Before she married Xiao Jingzhan, Uncle Qian was the only helper who could help Zhu Xuntao run around outside.
Without Uncle Qian's help, glass, potatoes and so on may eventually appear in the Great Yong Dynasty under Zhu Xuntao's efforts.
However, the time when they appear will definitely be pushed back to a great extent.
The emperor should know Uncle Qian's contribution.
"He is the one who ran errands for you and brought the potatoes?"
Zhu Xuntao said this, and the emperor quickly had an impression of Uncle Qian.
