Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 72

Become an official?Be an official!
There is no scholar in the world who does not want to be an official. Qin Zhong is half a scholar, so of course he also wants to be an official.

There are too many benefits to being an official, at least in this world, there are too many preferential treatment that officials can enjoy.

In this world where ordinary people make their living from the fields, the tax reduction and exemption alone is enough to make countless people break their heads.

Qin Zhong heard Chen Wuye's words, although he was very happy in his heart, he said: "I want to but I don't want to!"

King Zhongshun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"

"My idea is that the old man at home is old, and I want him to see my success; my idea is not only the expectation of my relatives and friends, but also my wish. I want to dedicate my knowledge to Da Chu and His Majesty. can."

At times like this, Qin Zhong's answers never go wrong.Even if he doesn't know what official title Chen Wuye is, even if he doesn't know what Chen Wuye is thinking, as long as he says that he is serving the court, it is absolutely right.

King Zhongshun looked with admiration when he heard the word 'dedication'.The answer Qin Zhong gave was very much in the favor of King Zhongshun.

He absolutely believed Qin Zhong's words, even if Qin Zhong hid the book from others to read, he still believed it.

Because Qin Zhong is a young man in the eyes of King Zhongshun.

How can there be so many twists and turns.At least since he has known Qin Zhong for so long, he has never seen Qin Zhong's treacherous side.

[Chen Wuye favorability +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days]

What a naive and honest boy!
King Zhongshun thought so, and was curious about the 'don't want' that Qin Zhong said.

Qin Zhong asked him instead, "Maybe Chen Wuye's official position should be higher than that of Mr. Xu's servant. Since Chen Wuye asked me if I wanted to be an official, I don't know if Wuye thought about what kind of position the boy should have. What's the matter?"

This question stopped King Zhongshun.

It was originally on a whim that he wanted to let Qin Zhong enter the official career.Even though Qin Zhong is still young, just the effect of this 'stunt skill' seen today is enough reason to give Qin Zhong preferential treatment and protection.

"So you are worried about this matter." King Zhongshun muttered, and then asked: "Jing Qing has always had ideas, so you should have your own thoughts about official positions?"

Qin Zhong laughed, and said: "I'm not afraid of Wu Ye's jokes. The boy naturally thinks that the higher the rank, the better. As for any specific position, the boy thinks about an official position that has never been held for thousands of years."

After hearing this, King Zhongshun couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

After all, Jing Qing is an unconventional young man.

"Quickly tell me! I'm actually curious, what kind of official can you name?"

When Qin Zhong heard this, he smiled and thought about it.

If it is another official, in case of a foreign appointment, wouldn't it be the end of his life.

He didn't hide it, let alone conceal it.

"I want to open a government school, which will set up the subject of agronomy. The imperial court appointed me as the official in charge of learning and teaching, and let me take charge of the entire school, so that I can teach the students the methods of increasing food production. Not only must it be passed on, but it must also be taught. Pass on the reasons for the increase in production, and lead the students of the school to research more ways to increase production."

'By that time, I will be the No. 1 farmer who is famous all over the world. ' Qin Zhong thought to himself.

[Chen Wuye favorability +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days]

The reminder of favorability has always been the leading signal expressed by Qin Zhong.Now that the favorability has increased, it means that what he just said has won the favor of Chen Wuye.

He continued to imagine.

"I think that one day, Dachu's rice and wheat can produce thousands of catties per mu;
I thought that one day, people in Dachu would be able to eat cheap green vegetables in winter;

I thought that one day, Dachu would have a bumper harvest of grain every year, and there would be no more refugees in the world;

I think that one day, the country will be rich and the people will be free from hunger;

but me……"

[Chen Wuye favorability +7, Yangshou increased by 7 days]

King Zhongshun couldn't help being excited when he heard this.

Jing Qing has such great ambitions, he is indeed a fertile talent.

As the prince of the prime minister's household department, he has planned to keep Qin Zhong by his side and train him himself in the future.

But listening to Qin Zhong paused.

King Zhongshun couldn't help asking: "And what?"

"but me……"

Qin Zhong puffed up his chest, looked up at the sky, and said word by word: "Not only have I gained fame and fortune, but I also have several wives and concubines at home, living a happy and carefree life."

How beautiful!
Just think about it and be merry!
Qin Zhongmei thought about it, but couldn't help sighing again.

It's a pity that it's still a fledgling. It seems that the science of the human body still needs further research, and I haven't really understood it yet!

Still have to work hard!
Everyone in the Xu family had weird faces.

The elderly Xu Yuanyi was sighing and shaking his head; the middle-aged Xu Xingrui was holding back his laughter and trembling.

The servants of the Xu family clicked their tongues even more, their eyes widened, and they looked at the young boy in shock.

"Jingqing...really..." King Zhongshun didn't know how to speak for a moment, and he held back a few words to praise after a long time: "You are so ambitious!"

"That's right, Lord Wu also thinks the same as me!" Qin Zhong answered.

How can a person like King Zhongshun have the same thoughts as Qin Zhong.Concubine Zhongshun died of illness early, but King Zhongshun never remarried, because of this matter, both today and the Supreme Emperor have scolded him several times.Even the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion have submitted letters many times.

just because...

The palace has no sons!

King Zhongshun frowned bitterly, unable to smile.Recalling the first time we met, Qin Zhong was eating the rouge on the girl's mouth in the hall.

Jingqing is good at everything, but he is just a womanizer.

He pondered over what Qin Zhong said just now, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Qin Zhong said was also quite good.The people have a mouthful of food and can survive, so how can they be refugees.

Furthermore, the method of increasing production will eventually need to be taught.It would be better if we could find out more ways to increase production.

only……

Qin Zhong's calculation did not meet his wishes.

At the beginning, when Jing Qing talked about the spirit of the policy of food refugees, he was born to be a talent for the household department, what to do to learn.King Zhongshun measured it.He asked with a smile, "How many concubines does Jing Qing have now?"

"Ah... just because I don't have it yet, that's why I'm so eager!" Qin Zhong sighed helplessly.

Xu Yuanyi didn't know Qin Zhong's confidence, even though he saw King Zhongshun being kind to Qin Zhong, he didn't dare to let him talk nonsense anymore.He just led a few people down the greenhouse and asked them to produce all the records of what Qin Zhong said that day.

King Zhongshun looked carefully for a while, and compared the plants in the greenhouse according to the records.

Heading, emasculation at the top, pruning of inflorescence corn silk, leaving only one or two corn fruits per plant...

The plants in the greenhouse here are indeed doing this!
Xu Yuanyi asked King Zhongshun to break three corn cobs casually, and then led a few people to another corn greenhouse that hadn't eared or emasculated.

"The corn buds here are indeed a little smaller."

This is King Zhongshun's first impression. "However, the result is quite a lot."

Xu Yuanyi said: "Also ask Fifth Master to pick three corn buds."

King Zhongshun knew that Xu Yuanyi wanted to make a comparison, so he deliberately chose three different ones, big, medium and small, and let his followers hold them.

Several people returned to the garden and peeled off the bracts layer by layer of the corn that had just been broken off.

"Sure enough! It's huge..."

Qin Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, although he knew the result earlier, he was still a little worried.

As long as the car didn't overturn, it means that the corn seed Xu Yuanyi got is not bad.

Also just nice!
Compared with the corn of later generations, these corns are not only shorter, but also smaller!
The gaps in the arrangement of corn kernels are also larger, and the gaps are much larger than those of later generations of corn.Like a person suffering from hair problems, the gaps between each row are particularly conspicuous.

"Why is Fifth Master looking at me like this?" Qin Zhong's mouth and eyes were full of complacency.

King Zhongshun smiled.The corn in his hand was full after artificial pollination, especially when he saw the densely packed small corn kernels growing on the top of the corn, his smile became even brighter.

Without pollination and emasculation, there are a lot of missing kernels, and even the first half of the corn cob does not develop a few edible kernels at all.

What he didn't know was that apart from emasculation and artificial pollination, part of the reason was that there were no bees in the greenhouse.Although the windshield is opened in the greenhouse, there is still a little gap with the outside planting.

King Zhongshun asked people to make different marks on the husks of the six corns.

"You are fine!"

Qin Zhong had heard the words 'you are fine' many times, but this time he said it from the mouth of King Zhongshun.He clearly discerned that this time it was an absolutely sincere compliment.

because……

[Chen Wuye's favorability degree +2, Yangshou increased by 2 days (current favorability degree: 59)]

He has never gained so many favorability points in one day!
It's like being in a fairyland, surrounded by fairies with enchanting figures and cool clothes.They are dancing with the singing and dancing, graceful, pure and charming.

Ok?
Qin Zhong suddenly saw the faces of these fairies clearly, and suddenly remembered these few words: "You are fine!"But we are not suitable', 'You are fine!But I only see you as a friend'...

What the hell!

For a moment, the words "you are fine" pierced my heart.

Qin Zhong suddenly woke up.Chen Wuye had already left, taking the six immature corn cobs with him.

It is said that he went to the palace! ! !
Thinking of this, he stepped out of the shadow of the three words 'you are fine' from his previous life.

Qin Zhong muttered to himself: "Even ordinary friends of the opposite sex can make a child together!"

Because of what Xu Yuanyi had said about the characteristics of the milky corn stage, he needed to pay the most attention to insect and disease prevention at this time.In an era without pesticides, insect diseases would reduce production by [-] to [-]%.

The possibility of insects in the northern greenhouse is extremely small, but it is necessary to pay attention to topdressing and disease prevention.

Qin Zhong explained it again, but Xu Yuanyi kept him for another day.

Unfortunately, Qin Zhong did not wait for any news.

Even Chen Wuye didn't show up again, so he didn't know what was going on in the palace.

Until one day at the end of the month.

early morning.In the east wing of the Qin family in Qinghe Town.

Qin Zhong sighed helplessly.

That dream was so real, but unfortunately at the critical moment, the dream became strange.

I don't know any feelings!
He saw that Ruizhu had gotten up, his eyes were blazing.Jumping out of bed, he dragged Ruizhu over to study it seriously.

He wondered if it was because of being a virgin, there was no further experience in the dream without realistic reference.

Uncomfortable!
"Miss will come over to supervise you later!" Rui Zhu said with a blushing face.
