Chi Tang blinked: "But what if Fifth Brother drowns?"
Old Man Chi: "Your fifth brother can swim."
Chi Tang: ...
If I say I'm very touched now, am I being a little bit sorry to Brother Xiao Wu?
"Pfft, haha, alright, alright, don't make things difficult for our daughter. Come on, Tangtang, tell us what happened to that girl."
Aunt Chi came to her daughter's rescue.
At the same time, I really want to know what's going on with the girl my second son wants to marry.
Chi Tang said, "That young lady's name is Lin Xiran. Her grandfather was the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince when His Majesty was the Crown Prince! Her ancestors included three prime ministers, five empresses, and two generals..."
As for the other clansmen holding positions of the third or fourth rank, their numbers are countless!
During the reign of the late emperor, the Lin family's power reached its zenith!
However, it was after the late emperor that the Lin family rapidly reduced its power! All members of the Lin clan of the third rank or above were ordered to retire and return to their hometowns!
Therefore, the Lin family currently has no important officials in the court! However, those members of the Lin family who retired and returned to their hometown established academies and cultivated many talented individuals!
Therefore, the Lin family patriarch established a special family rule: No member of the Lin family may hold an official position above the third rank!
This was to avoid being too powerful and overshadowing the emperor, and also to avoid being feared by the emperor!
Emperor Huiwu was very pleased with the Lin family's pragmatism, so he rewarded them handsomely!
"Lin Xiran is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and also the great-granddaughter of the late Emperor Lin, who served as the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince!"
After Lin Lao retired and returned to his hometown, he stayed in the capital because his father was still a fourth-rank Hanlin official.
After that... it was just as my second brother wrote in his letter.
This Miss Lin... disregarded her family's objections and personally beat the drum to appeal for justice! In the end... that person was sentenced to exile, and the two families became enemies.
To avoid gossip in the capital, Miss Lin had no choice but to return to her hometown to stay with Old Master Lin.
As he spoke, Chi Tang's eyes were fixed on him with great admiration.
Aunt Chi sighed with emotion: "So, if it weren't for that Miss Lin being... such a good marriage, would your second brother have gotten his chance?"
The girl is a good girl, but...
The feelings of a mother-in-law and a mother are always different.
"What is this girl's usual conduct like..." Old Man Chi frowned, looking very worried.
Xiao Hong jumped out and said, "Miss Lin is of noble character and kind heart! I can vouch for that with my own integrity!"
Looking at Xiao Hong, Old Man Chi suddenly remembered the incident of comparing breasts, and his lips twitched. He said bluntly, "You're swearing on your character? Then I'm even more worried."
Xiao Hong: ……
"Pfft, Dad, Mom, if you're really worried, let's go see my second brother in a while. It'll be a good way to relax."
Chi Tang suggested.
With nothing much going on with his parents and money in the family, it was the perfect time for him to travel around and enjoy the scenery.
Aunt Chi was the first to nod: "I think it's a good idea."
"Then it's decided."
Old Man Chi was very attentive.
They've figured it out: as long as the girl is good and wholeheartedly wants to live with Erchuan, they won't hold onto the past.
After all, their original intention was for their second son to be able to live a normal life, with a wife and children.
One should be content, otherwise one will never be happy.
After things were settled, the elderly couple felt relieved and washed up, preparing to go to bed.
Chi Tang instructed Xiao Lan: "Go and check on the Yang residence. See if anything has happened to Old Madam Yang. Don't alarm anyone."
When she saw her mother return, her brows were furrowed, probably because something had happened at the Yang residence.
She worried that if she asked, her mother would worry even more, so she didn't ask.
"yes."
"By the way, how are Jiu Hua and the others?"
"Dead."
Chi Tang tightened her grip and suddenly fell silent.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Hong said earnestly, "Young mistress, you don't need to be sad. As a secret guard, the most important thing is to obey orders. They were too clever for their own good, so it's normal for them to end up like this."
Secret guards don't need to be very intelligent or clever.
Because all they have to do is obey orders completely.
Moreover, their master is Emperor Huiwu.
"I understand, you may leave."
Chi Tang wasn't particularly saddened, just somewhat moved. In this era, human life is as worthless as grass!
She can't change it!
Chi Tang drifted into consciousness, finding herself in the study, looking at the documents and manuscripts about thermos weapons…
It was eventually locked in a safe.
Then I started researching information about chemical fertilizers.
What she can do and wants to do is to ensure that all the people in the world have enough to eat!
Therefore, it is necessary to increase grain production.
The methods for processing corn, peanuts, and peanut oil have already been handed over to Emperor Huiwu, and they are now being put into mass production.
As for the high-quality grain seeds, they were all provided.
so……
Should we look into greenhouse technology?
"Forget it, let's study fertilizer first." Chi Tang printed out the materials and sat in the study, studying them all night long!
So when I got up to leave the next morning, my head was still foggy and I felt a bit listless.
Huo Chen felt a pang of sympathy when he saw the dejected Chi Tang. He patted her head and said earnestly:
"Tangtang, you've done enough. Don't put any more pressure on yourself."
His Majesty has now established a "Ministry of Agriculture," separate from the Six Ministries, specifically for researching and improving seeds, sowing machines, and new seeds, among other things.
