Quick Wear: True and False Life

Chapter 37 The Real Gold in the Taoist Temple 36

"You are so excited when you talk about this. It seems like you like that kind of country!"

"Brother Jingran, you know what, after listening to your sister-in-law's explanation, I also yearn for the prosperity and freedom of that country."

"I heard all this from Qi Ling. I just said too much at the time." Gu Nan came to his senses later and said a little embarrassedly?

"Jinghe, you also heard that sister-in-law came from another world. It is impossible for her to encounter such a good opportunity in a lucky place, and there may not be another container like Feng Qingya who is compatible with her body. If you want her to come back, you have to bring her body with you, and there is a certain price."

Wang Jinghao explained to Zhang Enqi that the two children were actually listening with their ears perked up, but they were just relatively quiet because they knew their mother might be coming back.

Baozi didn't quite understand what he heard. Feng Qingya was both his mother and not his mother. His mother was coming back from a place he couldn't go to, and her appearance had changed. However, Zhang Ximing understood and realized that his mother was a real person and she didn't dislike him and his brother.

"Daddy, I want mommy to come back." Zhang Ximing was afraid that his father would not agree, so he quickly grabbed his hand and shook it and said coquettishly.

"Brother, do you want to have a mother?"

"I want my mother."

The two brothers looked at their father eagerly, which made Zhang Enqi feel very uncomfortable. He remembered that when he first met his wife, he felt that she was a cheerful, simple-minded, clear-headed and very opinionated person. He felt more relaxed when he was with such a person. Later, their feelings became stronger and stronger until they could not bear it anymore. He also longed for her to come back.

"I'll be back," Zhang Enqi said softly, coming out of his memories.

"Brother Jingran, can you tell me what conditions you have? I will definitely do what I can do."

"Jinghe, I hear the dishes are here. Why don't we eat and talk at the same time?" Wang Jinghao heard the voice coming from the box and interrupted Zhang Enqi's question.

"That's true. Everyone is hungry," Zhang Enqi responded quickly.

The dishes were served quickly, and Wang Jinghao quickly asked everyone to start eating. He first served a bowl of soup to Gu Nan to fill her stomach.

Zhang Enqi was also busy. He served soup to the children first, then he and Wang Jinghao filled their glasses with wine and continued the previous topic.

After the three of them discussed, they thought it would be better to find someone to share the risk, preferably the royal family. Tiandao had contacted Bai Qingya earlier, and she couldn't let go of her child and decided to come back.

Wang Jinghao and Gu Nan can act as middlemen, borrowing luck and merit from the royal family in exchange for the good varieties and technology there. Moreover, bringing these back to benefit the people there will be a great merit, and then the luck and merit will be returned.

After Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao returned home, they told Changfeng to take Baozi to take a medicinal bath, while they went to the study. Wang Jinghao picked up a pen and wrote down the transaction with the emperor, and handed it to Gu Nan, who folded it into a paper crane and cast a small spell, and the paper crane flew up and disappeared in a flash.

"Chu Chu, this little spell is good and quite practical." Wang Jinghao exclaimed with his eyes shining, but it was a pity that only Chu Chu could do it.

"It's just a little trick. Let's go to the garden. The flowers are blooming nicely lately."

In the imperial study of the palace, the emperor was reviewing memorials. Recently, there had been severe droughts in Jinyang and other places, and the national treasury was empty, which made him very anxious.

After seeing that the memorial was full of flattery and did not contain any practical suggestions, he was so angry that he threw it away, scaring Eunuch Lu.

At this moment, a ball of light flashed in the imperial study, flew straight over, circled around the emperor, turned around and landed on the imperial desk, dispersing the light.

“Your Majesty, monster…monster…” Eunuch Lu was frightened repeatedly and pointed at the paper crane for a long time before he stammered.

"Stop shouting, it's nothing." The emperor was also startled and didn't react. But when he heard Eunuch Lu's startled voice, he calmed down and took a closer look. He found that there were words on the paper crane. This should be a letter.

"Your Majesty, let me take a look first. Make sure you are not injured." Eunuch Lu saw the emperor reaching out to the paper crane and hurriedly stopped him.

Eunuch Lu picked it up, checked it and found that it was ordinary paper and there was no danger, so he served it to the emperor.

The emperor took it, looked at it, and then opened the paper. After reading the contents, he was shocked. He was surprised that someone was planning to attack the country's destiny, and he was also surprised that there were such high-yield grain varieties and exquisite craftsmanship in the world.

The emperor read the letter several times as if to prove its truth.

After Baozi officially acknowledged his relationship with his parents, the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion received an imperial edict to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

"I am Wang Jinghao, a commoner, meeting His Majesty."

"Gu Nan, the commoner, greets His Majesty."

Wang Jinghao and Gu Nan were summoned into the imperial study and saluted the emperor.

"Get up and answer the question."

"Thank you, Your Majesty" "Thank you, Your Majesty"

"I remember that you are Sheng Ye's grandson. Are the high-yield grains and exquisite craftsmanship you mentioned in your letter true?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not lie. This is the truth."

"Eunuch Lu, please take a seat." The emperor was excited when he said this. Who doesn't want to be a good emperor and leave a good name in history? With such an opportunity, of course he must seize it and look at the feasibility in detail, but he will not show it on the surface.

"Now, what are the types of high-yield grains? What are the technologies?"

"Your Majesty, the high-yield crops include potatoes, which can produce 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms per mu if the soil is not too choosy; sweet potatoes, which can produce about the same amount as potatoes if the soil is not too choosy; and corn, which is drought-resistant and can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu if the soil is not too choosy. I don't know the other crops."

"Technology can provide specific methods for purifying refined salt, making cement, manufacturing waterwheels, improving agricultural tools, etc. Please refer to your opinion and make your decision."

"How big will the impact of the loss of national fortune be, how long will the recovery period be, and how much merit will it bring?"

"Borrowing one tenth of the national fortune, if the above-mentioned grain technology is implemented quickly, the recovery will be quick, at least one year, at most three years. As for the merits..." Wang Jinghao thought of the merits and glanced at Gu Nan beside him, and Gu Nan understood and continued.

"Your Majesty, merits can be shared. Serving the people is a voluntary matter. In addition to the main formation eye and three secondary formation eyes, there are still eighteen formation points. Your Majesty can choose trustworthy people with merits to participate in the remaining eighteen points. After being borrowed, the work may not be as smooth as before in a year. Each person only needs to lend one tenth to avoid affecting their lives."

"I just don't know if the emperor will participate. If not, we will make other arrangements for the remaining two secondary array points."

"How do you plan?"

"My husband and I will be the main focus, the Zhang family father and son will be the secondary focus, and the remaining two have not yet been decided."

"It seems that there is profit in this, otherwise why would they participate so actively." The emperor said leisurely after understanding the whole thing.

"I dare not deceive the emperor. We are here because of our apprentice Baozi. We are also interested in other worlds. We also want to practice for merit."

"I agree to this matter. Keep the other secondary array eye as well. I will consider it."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"You can go down!" The emperor waved his hand and asked the couple to leave.

After the couple left, the emperor immediately summoned his trusted ministers to discuss the matter.

Not long after, Gu Nan and others received the list of participants sent by the emperor. After she examined them one by one and made three selections, she finally determined the 18 participants (they must at least meet the requirements of merit and be upright people, regardless of whether they are existing officials in the court).

As for the deputy eye of the formation that was left behind, the emperor finally decided to participate, hoping to make some fame and fortune and stabilize the government.
