Dad has no intention of coming back for the time being, so Zhao Qingrui is not idle either.
I have gone to Shusun Tong several times, and they are getting along pretty well now, so there is a great chance of winning him over.
I get along well with the three siblings of the Wang family. The food here at the Zhao family is novel and tastes good. Wang Xian and the others like it very much.
Both Zhou Shen and Yuan Shenbai, whom she brought with her, were capable people. They had already established good relationships with people in the court. Through recommendations, Zhou Shen became a servant in the mansion of Pinghuai Ling.
Yuan Shenbai and Zhao Qingrui were both shocked. This guy actually made his way to the residence of Imperial Censor Feng Jie.
Although he is just an insignificant minion at the moment, she believes in Yuan Shenbai's ability and he will definitely be able to gain Feng Jie's trust.
On the other hand, there was no clue at all on Dad's side, and the people sent out to investigate didn't get any useful information.
Zhao Qingrui became more and more suspicious, thinking that there must be something wrong with his father.
The more her father didn't want her to know, the more she started to compete with him, determined to dig out his secret.
At this time, Ying Zheng, who was being talked about by Zhao Qingrui, had just arrived at Shanglin Garden with Meng Yi, Li Si and Feng Quji.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes in Shanglinyuan are growing very well. Although they cannot be eaten now, coming to take a look will make you feel more at ease.
Walking into Shanglinyuan, Meng Yi had been there several times and was quite familiar with the situation there, so he didn't find anything new.
Li Si and Feng Quji were different. They strongly opposed the First Emperor's shooting of wild animals in Shanglin Garden and turning the hunting ground into farming land.
However, when they arrived at Shanglinyuan today, they found that the current Shanglinyuan had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the Shanglinyuan in their memories.
Under the clear sky, looking up, there are endless green fields.
Many farmers were hunched over in the fields, checking or recording something.
He had never seen the crops growing here, but they were growing unexpectedly well, many times better than the short, withered wheat and millet in other fields.
"Your Majesty, what kind of grains are these?" Li Si was surprised. Such lush green was really rare.
"What's planted here are sweet potatoes, which can be used as staple food. The yield per mu..." Ying Zheng spoke slowly, with infinite pride in his heart. These were all brought out by his daughter.
Meng Yi added from time to time that he personally led people to Jingshui Pavilion to transport the sweet potatoes back.
Li Si and Feng Quji were both shocked. Why did these data sound so unreal?
"Your Majesty, have you been fooled? How could there be such a high yield of grain in the world?" Feng Quji said in embarrassment.
"We'll know in two months whether it is or not. This thing grows very fast and the farmers take good care of it." Ying Zheng had a faint smile on his face. As long as there was food, the national treasury would gradually become richer.
After knowing that his father had come to Shanglin Garden in person, Gongzi Gao hurriedly brought people to greet him.
After coming into contact with the affairs of Shanglin Garden, Gongzi Gao became very concerned about the affairs here. If the affairs here were accomplished, it would be a great achievement.
Of course, there are also fun things here that you can’t find anywhere else, such as watching Hu Hai work every day.
He had always been at odds with Hu Hai, and now that Hu Hai had lost his status as a prince, he still had endless work to do every day.
He was so happy to come and see Hu Hai working and being whipped every day. He liked his current position very much.
The farmers were quite surprised that the First Emperor came in person. They didn't expect that His Majesty would attach so much importance to these sweet potatoes.
"Are there any problems with the sweet potatoes and potatoes in Shanglin Garden?" Ying Zheng asked the farmer's representative.
"Your Majesty, there is no problem with these grains. With the guidance of the tenant farmers brought by Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are growing very well. I have never seen grains with such strong adaptability. They can grow very well on the mountains of Shanglinyuan." Xu Changming, a farmer, said seriously.
Ever since he came to Shanglinyuan, he didn't want to leave. He had never seen sweet potatoes and potatoes before, and was very interested in the yield the tenant farmer mentioned.
"Well, as long as they grow well." Knowing that the crops were growing well, Ying Zheng felt relieved. He didn't ask for as much as his daughter asked. As long as they grew half as much, he would be satisfied.
Ying Zheng asked some more questions he wanted to know. At noon, he stayed in Shanglin Garden and asked someone to pick some sweet potato leaves to fry.
The sweet potato leaves tasted good, but Li Si and Feng Quji had not originally planned to eat them.
However, since the First Emperor had eaten it, they all ate it together, and it tasted unexpectedly good.
It was also the first time for Ying Zheng to eat this dish. Although the taste was not as good as his daughter's, it was still good.
These sweet potatoes have a lot of leaves, so it should be fine to eat them every day.
The farmers have tasted the sweet potato leaves and they all like the flavor.
This is new food, which enriches the dishes on the Daqin dinner table.
These sweet potato vines alone are already good food. They grow very well and I heard that they can continue to grow after being picked.
Li Si and Feng Quji thought a lot about this meal.
When Ying Zheng was about to leave, Gongzi Gao mentioned Hu Hai, "Father, please go and see Hu Hai. He should be starting work now."
"Why should I go to see that prodigal thing? I'm not going." Ying Zheng took a deep breath. He was afraid that if he really saw Hu Hai, he would not be able to help but beat him to death. The foundation of the Qin Dynasty that he had worked so hard to build, all his hard work, was destroyed by Hu Hai.
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left Shanglin Garden.
Allowing Hu Hai to continue living was already his greatest favor.
Li Si and Feng Quji looked at each other in confusion about the First Emperor's attitude.
It seems that Master Hu Hai has done nothing to incur the wrath of heaven or man, right? Why has Your Majesty suddenly begun to dislike him?
I can't figure it out and I'm too lazy to care. Anyway, Hu Hai is fine now. Apart from doing some work every day, he won't have any impact on the court.
Several people simply forgot about Hu Hai and no one thought about him anymore.
At this time, Hu Hai was still waiting at the farm, waiting for his father to come and take him back.
When he heard that his father was coming, he became very excited and wanted to run to find his father.
As a result, he was beaten twice by Wang Ben and started working obediently.
He will definitely see his father when he comes to Shanglin Garden. When he sees his father, he will complain to him that Wang Ben is a real bastard and the wounds on his body have not healed in recent days due to the beatings he has received.
When I see my father again, I will make sure he removes Wang Ben from his post and then make him take back his power tenfold or a hundredfold.
Hu Hai thought resentfully, it was a pity that he did not receive any news of his father coming, but only received news of his father going back. He immediately felt unwell.
