Following the system's guidance, Yue Fuguang looked over there and saw several tables occupied by teenagers in their late teens, early twenties, and twenties.
Well, except for a very few, they are all pretty good-looking, but that doesn't attract Yue Fuguang at all.
[Master, several talented individuals later emerged from among them.]
"Are you referring to truly talented individuals?"
[Some are serious, some are not. Master, which would you like to hear first?]
"Let's cut open the real melon first."
The one in the blue clothes and the two in the gray clothes, one of them is named Gao Ziyou, who will have extraordinary achievements in agronomy in the future.
One of them was named Luo Fengqing, who, in modern terms, was an engineering talent.
Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era; his inventions were dismissed as mere gimmicks and wasted his life, never receiving the recognition he deserved.
"Then isn't Luo Fengqing just as talented as Zhou Qi'an?"
【Master, the two are different. Zhou Qi'an's technology tree is focused on weapons manufacturing, while this one is more inclined towards people's livelihood.】
I believe that if your book, *Tiangong Kaiwu*, were given to him, the Great Yan Empire would take off in agriculture, handicrafts, mining, and the military.
"Tengfei? Do you think Dayan can make good use of these technologies and talents now?"
Besides, for no apparent reason, I just went up to someone and threw a groundbreaking book at them. Don't you think that's abrupt and strange?
The Exploitation of the Works of Nature? A strange book? How strange is it?
Since even the divine artifact master said it is a miraculous book that instinctively drives the development of agriculture, handicrafts, mining, and the military, it must be true.
Wang Shoushen, Huo Ying, Lu Qi and others were itching to ask, while Xie Zhiyan quickly took a sip of tea to calm his nerves, afraid that he might accidentally ask something that would cause trouble!
[That seems true. The technology in this world is so backward that I'm embarrassed to even look at their secret 'cutting-edge technology.' It can't even compare to the Sui and Tang Dynasties on Earth.]
If they knew that the secret to defeating the Western Qiang and Northern Li cavalry was hidden in the process of making poison pills that they were craving to eat every day, then they would be able to find a way to counter them.
I wonder how interesting their expressions must be! Master, you said that Huo Ying and Wei Shouyi know that the thing is hidden in His Majesty's Dan Palace.
Will they ask the emperor for the prisoners?
The two exchanged a glance. After the wedding banquet, they went to the palace to meet the emperor that very night. As for whether it would be too late to disturb the interaction between the emperor and the concubine?
The two shook their heads dismissively and asked His Majesty whether the country or the beauty was more important.
Without power, what beauty would bother with you?
Anyway, their emperor has already exceeded his task of procreation, so it doesn't matter if a few less princes and princesses are born.
Emperor Mingxi: It is truly my blessing to have ministers like you!
"People in the Great Yan region actually take elixirs? Who's so eager to die?"
Who else could it be but the brilliant Emperor Mingxi? By the way, around this time next year, his health will begin to decline, mainly manifested in his sudden discovery that fewer children have been born in the harem in the past two years.
Aside from the 'princess' born to Consort Zhou, he had no other children, so he listened to slander and began his suicidal journey of consuming large amounts of elixirs.
"Xie Fei is in a bad situation. This only princess was born because of his efforts!"
It's no wonder he died before he was fifty, given that he took elixirs; it was no injustice!
I think he's in pretty good health now, and I'm wondering how he got so sick so early that the Zhou family mother and son had the opportunity to poison him.
So that's the crux of the problem? Has he started taking elixirs now?
The Crown Prince paused. If he remembered correctly, a few days ago, on the two days when the Junior Tutor was not attending court, several Taoist priests came to the palace.
Later, they were all arranged to live in a courtyard not far from Daoist Xuanmingzi. Although it was not in the palace, it was only separated from the imperial palace by a wall.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Works, which is near the Hongwen Hall, is also undergoing intensive renovations, supposedly for use by alchemists. Why was that location chosen? It's said that an alchemist said that the location belongs to the wood element, which is beneficial for alchemy!
Now the Junior Tutor says the elixirs are poisonous. If he knew that Father Emperor had already begun contacting those alchemists...
[Judging by the timeline, the connection has already started, but the actual meal won't be until next year or the year after. Should the owner remind him?]
"We'll see. If he's determined to die, then we can only respect his fate!"
Emperor Mingxi, who was far away in the palace, had just kissed his beautiful concubine twice when he suddenly sneezed several times for no apparent reason.
The commotion startled Eunuch Qian, who was waiting outside. He tried to soothe Emperor Mingxi while ordering someone to fetch the imperial physician.
This matter even alarmed the Empress Dowager, so much so that Xie Zhiyan, after attending the wedding, went directly to his grandmother's palace to meet his father, the Emperor.
He immediately recited the theory of the upper beam and the lower beam to his son, which angered Emperor Mingxi so much that he wanted to take off his shoes and beat his son, but that's another story.
At this moment, Xie Zhiyan was still eating and drinking while listening intently to gossip, and he wasn't the only one doing the same thing.
Listening to the two chat requires patience, because they really have a childlike nature and can easily stray far from the topic.
Another thing is that you need to have a strong heart, otherwise you'll be scared half to death or scolded half to death!
Seeing his granddaughter's sullen face, Yu Chongshan quickly put a bowl of food in front of her.
Most of the dishes served at the Bao family's banquet were stews, with only one or two being stir-fries.
Currently, only high-ranking officials in Dayan are slowly starting to eat stir-fried dishes; it hasn't been fully popularized, except for the stir-frying technique itself.
Another reason is that stir-frying generally requires more oil and iron than stewing, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.
Iron and cooking oil are still too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
Edible oil production should focus on growing soybeans, peanuts, and corn.
As for iron pots, besides the iron mine in the Savage Mountain, we must guide Emperor Mingxi to mine new iron ore veins, as both military and civilian needs require large amounts of iron.
"Back to Gao Ziyou and Luo Fengqing, these two are worth paying attention to. If they are useful, we can let the older brothers in the family get in touch with them in the future."
"If they're willing, they can develop their businesses on my land and train talent. I, the Immortal Lord, have no shortage of the funds and materials needed for their experiments."
[Being chosen by their master, changing their original fate, and having the opportunity to showcase their talents is truly a blessing from their ancestors!]
Everyone nodded secretly in agreement. That's right! Why don't they find an opportunity to send their children to the little immortal lord? Whether it's a daughter or a son, if they are lucky enough to be chosen by the immortal abode, that would be a great fortune!
This plan is feasible!
[Master, now that we've talked about the serious talents, let's move on to the less serious ones. These guys are really wicked!]
"So, what exactly did they do?"
Look at that guy in the green shirt, Song Mingwei. He comes from a wealthy merchant family, but he has no social standing, so he enjoys associating with powerful people.
He became friends with Bao Zihui because of Lord Bao and Bao Qianjun.
