Chapter 75 Asking for leave to return to Taoyuan



"Your Highness, please return to the East Palace first. I will go to see His Majesty!"

Li Yuanzhao nodded in agreement, and Fang Zheng ran away.

Today can be said to be full of surprises. Taking the opportunity of curing the princess's illness, I quickly asked the emperor for a long vacation to return to Taoyuan County.

He was also worried about leaving those things in the East Palace.

He personally guided the talents in agricultural research in Taoyuan County. Although he did not understand the technology, he understood the general direction.

Farmers of this era were basically illiterate, but people in Taoyuan County were different.

Those who can hold important positions must be literate, and many crops need to be recorded and selected and bred.

It can be said that although we have advanced cultivation experience, the palace only got three poor sweet potatoes. We must not let anything go wrong again!

................

Following the eunuch's instructions, he learned that Emperor Jing had already moved to the Yangxin Palace, so he hurried there.

Emperor Jing was a little surprised to see Fang Zhengyi: "What are you doing here? Something has happened to the prince."

Fang Zhengyi quickly explained: "Your Majesty! I have a solution for the princess's illness!"

"What!? Tell me quickly!" Emperor Jing dropped the memorial in his hand and stood up excitedly.

Fang Zhengyi was at his ease and said slowly, "The princess's illness is both difficult and simple to explain."

“It’s actually a pollen allergy!”

"What is pollen allergy?" This was apparently the first time Emperor Jingdi said the word.

"It's this disease that will cause you to get sick as long as you come into contact with pollen! Coughing and rashes are all related to it."

"I found a flower in the princess' back garden called the Coral Glow. This flower blooms all year round. The princess' illness is related to it!"

Emperor Jing frowned and discovered the blind spot!

"How could you go to the princess' back garden!?"

"Uh...it was the prince who accompanied me there."

"Okay! Keep going!"

Fang Zhengyi wiped the sweat off his forehead and almost blurted out, "To cure this disease, all you need to do is keep the princess away from those flowers. Your Majesty, please change the princess's residence or remove all the flowers in the back garden!"

"In this way, we will know the answer after observing for a while!"

"How sure are you that you are saying this? You know, Doctor Hu hasn't been able to cure the princess's illness for ten years!"

Fang Zhengyi said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the princess's illness has been so serious for ten years and the cause of the disease has not been confirmed yet. This is very telling."

"I am 90% sure!"

"Brother Guo is my best friend. He even dared to use his life as a guarantee for me!"

Guo Tianyang stood aside, the fat on his face trembling unconsciously a few times, and he stared at Fang Zhengyi with his eyes.

Damn you Fang Zhengyi...are you fucking done!!!

Emperor Jing gradually showed his delight, and then he said loudly: "Good! Good! Fang Qing, if you can really cure the princess's illness, I will reward you greatly!"

Fang Zheng secretly laughed in his heart.

A big reward? Why rush? The bigger one is yet to come!

Seeing that Emperor Jing was in a good mood, Fang Zhengyi continued, "I have something to ask Your Majesty."

"Just speak!" Emperor Jing now likes Fang Zhengyi more and more.

He is a talented person! He speaks well and now he has helped me solve a problem that bothered me.

"I would like to return to Taoyuan County for a while, but it won't be too long."

"But your majesty, please rest assured. First, the prince is in good condition now. He is diligent, compassionate, lively and motivated, and he is very affectionate..."

"Secondly, Your Majesty has entrusted me with the business of tea. I must return to Taoyuan County to personally control this project from the source in order to do it well!"

"Your Majesty, please give your instructions."

Hearing this, Emperor Jing paced back and forth, glancing at Fang Zhengyi from time to time.

After careful consideration, he felt that it would be okay for him to walk for a while, so he said, "Forget it, the princess is still seriously ill and the prince is not interested in studying, so you can go."

"Remember, go early and come back early."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

.......

After Emperor Jing agreed, Fang Zhengyi returned to the East Palace again.

Seeing Li Yuanzhao studying sweet potatoes with great energy, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you figured out something?"

Li Yuanzhao shook his head: "This thing doesn't look special. Can it really produce over a thousand kilograms per mu?"

Thinking that no one in Jing Kingdom had ever seen this thing, Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh.

If sweet potatoes had appeared earlier, perhaps not so many people would have died in Taoyuan County.

I wouldn't have to suffer so much, a county magistrate, to the point of begging for food in other places...

"Your Highness, don't underestimate it. This plant can definitely produce a thousand kilograms per mu. It will grow as soon as you throw it into the ground!"

"If we can successfully grow it, all the people in the world will be blessed! Not only can we eat the fruit, but we can also eat the vine leaves. It's delicious!"

Li Yuanzhao grinned after hearing this: "So, what are you going to do, Mr. Fang?"

"I will not come tomorrow. Pack up and go back to Taoyuan County. I will take the sweet potatoes to Taoyuan County to cultivate them and bring them back. Your Highness, please do not make it public before that. It will be easier to talk after the matter is done. Otherwise, you will be ridiculed."

Fang Zhengyi's character is like this. He will never fight a battle without confidence unless it is absolutely necessary.

What we want is stability!

When Li Yuanzhao heard that Fang Zhengyi was going back to Taoyuan County, he became anxious: "No! Old Fang, I want to go too."

Fang Zheng sighed, "You can't go. I've already told His Majesty about the princess. Your Highness had better stay here and look after the princess."

"On the other hand, we have made such a big fuss recently, and there will definitely be criticism in the court. I have treated more than 50 death row prisoners. Although they are death row prisoners, can this matter be let go like this?"

"And that old doctor Hu will definitely report me. His Majesty doesn't even know about this."

"Your Highness, please stay here and help me see the reaction of the court. I am isolated and helpless now. If Your Highness wants me to die, then come with me!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao said disappointedly: "Then go ahead... You are my brother, what else can I do after hearing what I said?"

"Hmm!? No! If sweet potatoes can be grown so easily, why bother going to Taoyuan County?! They can be grown in the East Palace too!"

Prince, it’s okay. He’s been with me, Young Master Fang, for a long time and it’s getting harder and harder to fool him.

Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Actually... there's one more thing. It's about penicillin."

"Old Fang! Are you still researching poisons?" Li Yuanzhao asked in surprise. "I think you should stop researching and stay in the East Palace to farm with you."

Fang Zhengyi looked at him helplessly. Damn! What do you mean by poison? It's because you think so that I want to continue my research!

Otherwise, wouldn’t future generations take a detour when reading historical materials?

Penicillin's reputation has been damaged. Isn't Fang Zhengyi a historical criminal? ?

It must be done for him!

"Your Highness, please stop talking. We must go back. When we come back, I will bring you some local specialties from Taoyuan County."

"make a deal!"
