"I will do my best." Zhao Xie said seriously. Even if it was just to climb higher, he had to work harder.
It was still very lively outside, but Zhao Xie felt calm. Since the path for the next few years had already been decided, there was nothing to get excited about.
His eyes fell on Zhao Qingrui. What was her intention?
The voting outside was in full swing. Zhao Qingrui watched for a while and then lost interest.
"Come with me to Shanglin Garden." The seeds and various seedlings that Sui Shicong brought back from his voyage had already been planted in Shanglin Garden. It was unknown whether they were still alive. Zhao Qingrui wanted to go and see for himself.
"promise."
The two of them got on a carriage to Shanglin Garden. Zhao Qingrui sat in the carriage and flipped through the government affairs that were delivered to him. Zhao Xie sat next to him like a guardian angel.
Shanglin Garden is now becoming more and more solemn. When you walk inside, you can see the lively harvest scene.
When Zhao Qingrui came over, Xu Changming had already come to greet him, but he didn't bring many people with him.
"Did the seeds and seedlings I sent over last time survive?" Zhao Qingrui asked expectantly.
"Your Majesty, most of them have survived. Some probably died due to incorrect planting methods. Fortunately, not all of them were planted." Xu Changming felt very upset about those species that did not survive.
He also knew that Xianyang was not a suitable place to grow all the species he brought back.
But he still felt very sad when he saw the seeds he planted rot and the seedlings die.
"It doesn't matter. Just die. When conditions permit, I will have someone allocate a large piece of land overseas for your farmers. You can study it at will." Zhao Qingrui also knew what Xu Changming knew, and comforted him softly.
Being able to grow crops and adapt to the climate of this place, even if only half of them can survive, is already a good thing for Daqin.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Changming's eyes suddenly lit up.
In recent years, with the exploration of overseas, even though ordinary merchant ships cannot reach farther places, overseas still arouses many people's yearning.
There are still vast lands overseas with many magical species.
In addition to many strange plants, the current Daqin also has some wild beasts captured from overseas.
He had seen a strange animal with a very long neck on the street before, and many people gathered to watch.
"I also want you to research more good things. This year's grain harvest is great again, and you have made an indelible contribution." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
In recent years, most of the seeds planted by the common people were purchased from the imperial court, and the fertilizers sold by the imperial court also greatly increased the yields of those species that originally had poor yields.
Zhao Qingrui is very satisfied with the research progress at the Agricultural College.
"By the way, is the lemon tree alive?" Zhao Qingrui was more concerned about this.
"Your Majesty, the crops have been planted. Would you like to go and see them?" Xu Changming immediately invited Zhao Qingrui to visit.
I followed Xu Changming and set aside a special area to plant the things I brought back this time.
When Zhao Qingrui came over, she saw the things Sui Shicong brought back. Most of them had grown, which was great.
Although she didn't know what these were, she was still happy.
I gently touched the branches of the sapling and felt very happy.
On the way back, Zhao Qingrui still maintained a good mood.
However, when they reached the palace, bad news came.
"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Zhao Qingrui frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial sent back urgently from eight hundred miles away." The eunuch took out a small envelope.
Zhao Qingrui took it and looked at it quickly. The more he looked, the worse his expression became.
"Inform Wu Hou Wang Ben Feng Jie, the six ministers, and the chief justice of the Dali Temple to come to the Zhangtai Palace to discuss matters." Zhao Qingrui said with a cold face.
Zhao Qingrui was sitting in the Zhangtai Palace, holding in his hand the memorial that had just been sent back.
This is the memorial sent back by Li Xin. The place he is guarding this year is the desert. It is not time to change guard yet, and he is still in the Western Regions.
The figure of Maodun Chanyu was discovered. He ruled the other ethnic group. Especially after knowing that the Qin Dynasty was preparing to use military force against the Maurya Dynasty and withdrawing some soldiers from the border, they began to harass the border of the Qin Dynasty, intending to break through the defense of the Qin Dynasty.
This is not the most important thing. They also have the crude production of gunpowder, which is why Li Xin is horrified.
Zhao Qingrui's face looked very bad. Gunpowder was an absolute secret to the Qin Dynasty, but now it had fallen into Maodun's hands, although it was only the roughest version.
Maodun was known as the Qin Shi Huang of the grassland. There was no doubt that he had no problem with his own abilities. He could even make crude gunpowder, and his threat to the Qin Dynasty increased dramatically.
The most important thing is that there was a mistake on the part of the imperial court and the Ministry of Works, which allowed such an important formula to be leaked. This is what made Zhao Qingrui most angry.
After a while, the six ministers and Wang Ben and others came over.
Seeing Zhao Qingrui's gloomy face, my heart sank. Could something big have happened?
His Majesty has always been gentle and generous, and rarely looks so unhappy.
After the ceremony, Zhao Qingrui handed the memorial to them and said, "Take a look."
Wang Ben was the first one to get it. The more he looked at it, the uglier his expression became, and the curiosity of the others was also piqued.
The letter was passed around and finally returned to Zhao Qingrui's hands.
"Tell me what you think." Zhao Qingrui looked at the people below calmly, the anger on their faces was clearly visible.
