I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

"It is said that if Madam is free, go back home and have a meal with Master. Master has something to say to Madam."

When Tao'er said this, a light burst out of her eyes, and she said happily:
"Ma'am, from the perspective of slaves, the master still has you in his heart, but because of His Majesty, it is difficult for the master to show it.

This time the master took the initiative to find you, it is a great opportunity, if you can take advantage of this opportunity"

"Okay, don't say any more."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yaoyue.

Tao'er originally wanted to say, "If you can take this opportunity to get close to the master, then our master and servant will be considered a turnaround in the Xiangguo Mansion."

He was interrupted unexpectedly, the words stuck in his throat, his face flushed from holding back.

Li Yaoyue glanced at her, and said indifferently: "You have known me for a year, you should know what I think."

"But you are still in Chang'an after all, you are dependent on others, if you don't want to get closer to the master, you can't do anything!" Tao'er said.

Li Yaoyue knew that what she said was the truth, after a few breaths of silence, she said lightly: "I know it in my heart, if you say similar things, don't say it again in the future."

I didn't say it this time!
Tao'er curled her lips and slandered in her heart.

"It's not easy for you to go out of the house once. Today I will accompany you to visit Chang'an City, and I will take you back at night."

Li Yaoyue put down the report in her hand, looked at Tao'er, and spoke softly.

In the huge Chang'an, there is only such a Taoer, who can talk to her on weekdays.

Therefore, Li Yaoyue's attitude towards Tao'er is completely different from others.

Tao'er was slightly taken aback when she heard this, her eyes showed emotion, and said: "Ma'am, I know you are the best!"

After a pause, he said again: "Madam, why don't you go back to the mansion with your servants tonight, while the master still remembers you?"

"If you keep talking, I'll send someone to send you back home immediately."

Li Yaoyue glanced at her and said calmly.

When Tao'er heard this, she fell silent for a moment, not daring to say any more.

While Li Yaoyue was communicating with his master and servant.

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Fang Xiu and the little empress were also communicating.

It's just that the exchange is about a deeper topic-food.

The autumn harvest is over.

The yamen of various state capitals have submitted memorials, and after handing them over to the Ministry of Accounts, after statistics, it is roughly calculated that this year's harvest has increased compared with last year.

In addition to the floods in Huizhou and poor harvests, the rest of the state capitals have increased a lot.

"If the memorials of the state capitals are not forged, even if the war between the imperial court and the state of Zhou is not over, the food is still sufficient. This is a bumper harvest, a bumper harvest!"

Wu Mingkong sat on the dragon chair, watching Qin Xingyan's memorial, his exquisite face was full of joy.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to be too happy. The sweet potatoes have been planted for two years, and the fertility of the field has been consumed. It may be difficult to have such a bumper harvest next year."

At this time, Fang Xiu mercilessly poured cold water on her.

【Mood value 1000】

An emotionless system prompt sounded.

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu, pouted his lips, and said, "Every time I am happy, you have to pour cold water on me. Next time you are happy, I will do the same. See how you feel."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was slightly taken aback, and then an image appeared in his mind involuntarily.

He and the little empress fell asleep hugging each other. When he was in a good mood, Lin Wan'er suddenly poured a basin of cold water over his head.

That sourness is unbearable just thinking about it.

Fang Xiu shuddered suddenly, stopped thinking about it, looked at the little empress, and said sincerely: "It's because I didn't do well. Next time, when Your Majesty's joy passes, I will pour cold water on you."

"."

The little empress gave him a sideways look and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

After a few moments of silence, he said, "Since you brought up this issue in front of me, you must have found a solution. Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

"Your Majesty really thinks highly of me. I don't know anything about farming, so how can I know how to make up for the fertility of the fields?"

Fang Xiu said seriously.

Wu Mingkong is very familiar with his face. Whenever he wants to bargain or raise a price on the ground, he will show the appearance of "I don't know, don't ask me".

In fact, he had already thought of a countermeasure, but he just kept it in his heart and used it as a bargaining chip.

"Tell me, what bad thoughts are you holding back?"

Wu Mingkong squinted at him and said unhappily.

"What is a bad mind? How could Your Majesty say that about my minister!"

Fang Xiuyi patted the table angrily, and said loudly.

If it was in the past, Wu Mingkong might still feel flustered, thinking that he was really angry.

Now, she has long been used to it, and said angrily: "What do you want me to do, to put it bluntly, beat around the bush, is it interesting?"

The little empress has grown up, she is not as easy to coax as before.

Fang Xiu sighed in his heart and said, "Will His Majesty do what I ask His Majesty to do?"

Wu Mingkong glanced at him, and thought: "The dog, it's nothing more than tossing me in different ways."

"You said."

Wu Mingkong looked as if he saw through the world of mortals, and said calmly.

Fang Xiu was silent for a few seconds, decided not to go around the bush, and told the empress his real plan.

"I plan to go to southern Shanxi as the regent of Zhou after the Chinese New Year."

For some reason, when she heard that Fang Xiu was leaving Chang'an, the little empress felt empty in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "How long will you be going?"

"About a month." Fang Xiu said.

Wu Mingkong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it's only a month, you can go."

When blocking the Yan army before, Fang Xiu left for two or three months.

It's only been a month now, and it's still in Jinnan, which has already fallen under the control of the imperial court, so there is nothing to worry about.

"When the time comes, don't forget to bring me some local specialties. The flowers you sent me last time were pretty good. If there are any, please pick a few more." The little empress said in a flat tone.

"Those flowers only bloom in summer, and it will probably be winter when I come back. I'm afraid I can't bring them to His Majesty." Fang Xiudao.

Wu Mingkong thought for a while, and it seemed to be true, so he stopped talking and asked instead: "How many people do you plan to bring?"

Fang Xiudao: "A group of guards, about 1000 people, and the rest of the cooks, servants, and maids, add up to about 100 people."

Zhou Guoyou Bai Qi sits in charge.

A guard of 1000 men is completely sufficient.

Wu Mingkong nodded reassuringly, and asked again: "Besides the guards, cooks, servants, and maids, who else do you plan to take with you?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, "There should be no one else."

Wu Mingkong looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you going to bring Li Yaoyue with you?"

Fang Xiu's expression froze and he fell into silence.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong gritted his teeth, and said, "I knew you'd be tricked by making circles with me about this matter! Sure enough! Tell me! What are you doing with Li Yaoyue when you go to Jinnan!"

Fang Xiu hurriedly explained: "It's just fulfilling the promise."

"Fulfill what promise?" Wu Mingkong asked.

Fang Xiu didn't hide anything, and told Li Yaoyue exactly what he had promised Li Yaoyue.

After Wu Mingkong heard this, he looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Is that true?"

Fang Xiu nodded heavily: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty!"

You have deceived me a lot!
Wu Ming slandered on an empty stomach, and asked a few more questions about why he brought Li Yaoyue back to Jinnan, and Fang Xiu answered them one by one.

"I went to the south of Shanxi for the purpose of the covenant between the imperial court and the state of Zhou; secondly, as the regent, to show myself in front of the officials and common people of the state of Zhou;

In addition, there are some trivial matters, which can't be seen from the letter, and you have to visit Chang'an in person to know whether things are as you imagined.

As for bringing Li Yaoyue with her, it was purely a coincidence. The minister promised Li Yaoyue that as long as she doubled the Li Lan of Zhenbaozhai, she would be allowed to return to Jinnan.

Chen probably calculated that by the end of the year, Zhenbaozhai's Lilan would just double in size, so he could let her set off with Chen's convoy in time, so Chen could better control her and avoid accidents. "

Wu Mingkong felt that what he said was quite sincere, so he didn't bother to ask any more. He just said, "Okay, I allow you to go to Jinnan with Li Yaoyue. Now, can you tell me how to solve the problem of depletion of land fertility?"

"In fact, there are methods to solve this problem in agricultural books, one is to recultivate the fields, and the other is to fertilize the fields.

Undoubtedly, the latter is more suitable. As for how to fertilize the fields, this is a profound knowledge that I don't understand. However, the gentlemen and students of the Agricultural Academy have achieved some results after studying classics.

A few days ago, the dean of the Agricultural Academy told Chen that they had developed some fertilizers according to the books, but large-scale production was still very difficult.

One is the lack of silver, and the other is that the production of fertilizer requires extremely high temperature and extremely high pressure, and these, they cannot do it, they have to rely on the Engineering Academy to develop corresponding methods."

Fang Xiu said a lot in one breath.

The little empress was a little dazed.

Can fertilizers be produced on a large scale?

The extremely high temperature is understandable.

What is extreme pressure?
What does this have to do with engineering academy?
"Therefore, this problem cannot be solved in a short period of time, but as long as we continue to invest money in the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Agriculture, the problem of insufficient soil fertility will be completely solved!"

Fang Xiu said the time for a stick of incense, and finally stopped.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the eyes of the little empress were full of doubts. There were many questions in her heart, but she didn't know where to ask them.

After holding back for a long time, he just said: "So you still want more money?"

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "That's right."

"."

The little female emperor was silent for a while, and said: "If I remember correctly, those gentlemen and students of the Agricultural Academy are also scholars, and they know how to improve the fertility of the soil? I always feel that it is not reliable."

"Your Majesty came to the Agricultural Academy and saw them, so he knew whether what they said was reliable or not."

Fang Xiu said sincerely.

"I have nothing to do today, why don't I go to the Agricultural Academy to have a look?"

The little empress raised her eyebrows and said.

"The minister is with His Majesty."

"it is good!"

Between three words.

Fang Xiu and the little empress embarked on the road to the Agricultural Academy.

An hour later.

The two people in casual clothes came to the Agricultural Academy.

Surrounded by farmland.

Several exquisite buildings stood there, looking a bit nondescript.

Among the four new academies, only the Agricultural Academy is built in the farmland, and the rest are built in the bamboo forest.

Wu Mingkong took a look at the Agricultural Academy and walked over.

After a while.

A guard stopped her.

"This is the Agricultural Academy, idlers, etc., are forbidden to enter."

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself, a place where people study farming is forbidden to enter?

It's as if someone would go in normally!
"Go and tell your dean, just say that Uncle Wo Chuan is here, and he will let us in."

Fang Xiu said lightly.

Hearing this, the officer hesitated for a moment, and said in a more respectful tone: "My lords, the dean is not in the academy."

"Not in the academy, where is it?"

Wu Mingkong asked.

The guard pointed his finger not far away, and said, "It should be there."

Wu Mingkong looked in the direction of his finger.

Several farmers were working in the fields, and there was no dean in sight.

"There are only farmers there, so where is the dean!"

Wu Mingkong said with some dissatisfaction.

She felt that the servant was fooling herself.

"My lord doesn't know that the farmers in the nearby fields are all the masters and students of the academy, and so are the few farmers, and one of them is the dean."

The guard hurriedly explained.

Those farmers are all husbands and students?
Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

"understood."

Fang Xiu waved his hand, grabbed the little empress' arm, and said, "Go, let's have a look."

Wu Mingkong felt a little awkward being held by his arm, but he didn't break free, and followed him down to the field.

When I arrived in the field, I didn't take a few steps. I stepped on the mud and almost fell down.

Thanks to Fang Xiu holding her arm, she avoided falling to the ground.

"No wonder I suddenly embraced me, because I was afraid that I would fall."

Wu Mingkong turned his head to look at Fang Xiu's face, and a warm current surged in his heart.

The two walked side by side and soon came to a farmer.

"Are you from the Agricultural Academy?"

Wu Mingkong looked at the farmer and asked.

"I'm."

The farmer put down the hoe in his hand, looked at Wu Mingkong, and nodded.

"Where is your dean?" Wu Mingkong asked again.

The farmer was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I am, what's the matter with you?"

"Are you the dean of the Agricultural Academy?"

Wu Mingkong looked at the farmer in front of him and was stunned again.

The person in front of her looked quite young, with a vicissitudes of life and dark skin. She was no different from the farmers she had seen before. How could he be the dean of the Agricultural Academy?

If she remembers correctly.

The deans of the four major academies, except for Mingxiu Academy, the other three are all held by bachelors from the Imperial Academy!

"Who are you? What's the matter?"

The farmer said, wiped off his sweat, and carefully looked at the visitor in front of him.

Just for a moment.

His eyes were in a trance.

Why does this person look so much like His Majesty?

The difference is that His Majesty is a woman, while the person in front of him is wearing men's clothes.

"You look familiar"

The farmer looked at Wu Mingkong and hesitated.

Wu Mingkong was silent for a while, and said: "If you are the dean of the Agricultural Academy, you should have met me more than once."

As soon as this word comes out.

The farmer immediately realized that he was not mistaken, the person in front of him was His Majesty!
"Bachelor of Chen Hanlin, Dean of Agricultural Academy, Yuan Xincheng sees Your Majesty!"

The farmer knelt down hastily, his voice trembling.
