After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Qi Mingze, who entered the courtyard, instantly transformed into a cold, reserved, and unattainable demeanor.

He portrayed the behavior of ancient Beijing officials and the demeanor of aristocratic families vividly.

It was as if this was the heir trained by a noble family, full of scheming, wisdom and strategy.

The system looked at the host in front of it, who looked brand new, and couldn't help but circle around him.

Even the wolf cub had never seen such a host that was destined to be placed in the cloud, yet it had a sneak peek.

It thought that when the wolf cub saw its host at this time, it would definitely find a way to pounce on it and take it back to keep it for itself.

The system opened its mouth to say something, but thinking about what the host was going to do, it did not interrupt.

When it comes to major issues, they are all very reliable, unlike someone else, huh!

"Is Fang Xing here?" Qi Mingze called out from outside the door in an indifferent and deep voice.

Fang Xing peeked through the crack in the door and saw a dignified young man in official uniform. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

"you are?"

The series of blows over the past few days have taught this originally clear-headed and foolish doctoral student how to live cautiously.

Although it may be a bit of an overreaction, it at least made him clearly aware of the cruelty of the feudal era.

How to say it, in a world where imperial power is supreme and the privileged class is in power, only by being a little more tolerant can one live longer.

"I am the Grand Historian."

"So it's Master Qi. Please forgive my poor eyesight and my failure to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me!"

Fang Xing was startled, but then he immediately reacted, making way for Qi Mingze and respectfully welcoming him into the house.

This is the biggest boss of Taishi Pavilion. If he wants to continue staying here, he must not offend this person.

Therefore, he showed the same diligence he had in serving his mentor in the past, trying his best to make people have a good impression of him.

The system looked at Fang Xing, who was trying his best to please it, and secretly rolled its eyes and cursed.

Doesn't this mean he understands the ways of the world? What were you doing before?

It seems like you won’t learn to be honest unless you go through a beating, right? You deserve it!

As expected of a nobleman in Shengjing, he holds a high position and has an extraordinary bearing at such a young age.

Fang Xing looked at Qi Mingze who was unmoved, and as he thought so, his attitude became more respectful.

"You can take a look at this book." Qi Mingze took out the book he had prepared in advance and placed it in front of Fang Xing.

The system leaned over to take a look. Tsk, what an old tool! If Prime Minister Zhang knew about this, would he accuse the host of being too inhumane, er, inhuman?!

Fang Xing opened it with confusion, and when he saw the popular poems and well-known celebrities inside, his mind went blank.

It was also the collection of ancient poems compiled by "Prime Minister Zhang" that nailed Cui Mingruo to the pillar of shame.

"Master Qi, I don't understand what you mean." Fang Xing denied it with a pale face and a forced smile.

"If you don't understand this book, then I don't mind calling you a different name—a time traveler, don't you think?"

Qi Mingze delivered a fatal blow at the right time, and what he was going to do from then on was to carry out a grand plan regarding the prosperity, honor and disgrace of a country.

He is responsible to Xia Lin, the people and those who follow him.

Although Fang Xing's existence can save him a lot of trouble, if Fang Xing is too uncontrollable, he will have to go through more trouble.

"..." It's over!

Fang Xing couldn't help but take a few steps back, tripped by the chair behind him, and fell to the ground.

He recalled the fate of those heretics on TV and couldn't help but shudder.

When people are faced with life and death, they always have some quick wits.

With his adrenaline surging and his brain working at full speed, he immediately grasped the key to breaking the deadlock.

If there was no way around this matter, he would have been beheaded long ago.

There is no need for people to provide him with good food and drink until now, and there is no need for Qi Mingze, the Grand Historian, to take action personally.

"Don't kill me, I'm very useful."

"Tell me about it." Qi Mingze tapped the armrest of the armchair rhythmically with his index finger and asked casually.

Fang Xing racked his brains to calculate his chips, but found that he really had nothing to offer.

Soap, glass, food... these were all developed by Mr. Qin.

But even if he was asked to do it, he seemed unable to do it easily.

As for the chemical research he was familiar with, what benefit did it bring to this era?

Moreover, in school they all serve as assistants to their tutors. Without raw materials, research directions, or scientific research funds, he is completely helpless.

After a long silence, he finally managed to utter, "I know math, physics, and chemistry."

As the saying goes, if you master math, physics and chemistry, you will not be afraid to travel around the world. This is what his mother told him when he was a child.

The system widened its dog eyes and almost performed a fancy sliding tackle.

Brother, you have been planning this for most of the day.

I thought he could come up with some advanced theory, but in the end, this is it?

Now it really wants to touch Fang Xing's forehead to see if this kid has been frightened too much and his brain has been damaged.

Fortunately, Qi Mingze had become accustomed to the series of weird operations by the system and the time-travel bureau, and he remained calm and just curled his lips slightly.

"Explain it in detail."

"Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences, it is..."

Fang Xing put in the same enthusiasm as he did in a doctoral interview, trying to make his language easy to understand so that these ancient people would know the importance of scientific development.

Qi Mingze didn't show it on his face, but he was still slightly satisfied in his heart.

It has to be said that Fang Xing has a solid foundation and knowledge as he was able to be admitted as a doctoral student in chemistry at Tsinghua University.

Being an early-stage scientific researcher and knowledge disseminator is enough, but he has a more important purpose for this trip.

"These sound very tempting."

Before Fang Xing could breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Mingze changed the subject again, teasing Fang Xing so much that his heart was hanging in the air.

"However, these require a long period of learning, accumulation, and creation.

None of us has actually experienced it except you.

How can those in higher positions not suspect that you are making up lies to protect yourself?

You should start with something that will produce quick results and is closely related to the country and the people.

With actual achievements, I can also convince His Majesty to allow you to conduct experimental research."

Qi Mingze felt that his hint was very obvious, and the system was in a state of sudden enlightenment without even noticing it.

Fang Xing lowered his eyes in thought, thinking that since he was closely related to the people, he had to work hard on their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

“Potatoes, corn, and hybrid rice are all foods that can produce over a thousand kilograms per mu.

There is also cotton for keeping warm, peanuts for oil, and sugarcane for sugar...

As long as we find them, we can ensure that the people have enough food and clothing!"

Qi Mingze raised his eyebrows, finally guiding people to the point.

As early as the beginning of his time travel, he had sent people to look for these things. As more and more forces joined him, his business expanded.

They have gradually fallen into his hands, and all he needs is an appropriate and inconspicuous opportunity to present them to His Majesty.

Fang Xing and Cui Mingruo were his breakthrough points and scapegoats. Through their hands, he was offered up and perfectly hidden behind the scenes.

"This is worth a try." Qi Mingze nodded.

Seeing that his proposal was approved, Fang Xing became more excited and spoke a lot with great enthusiasm.

Only after the little food in his stomach was completely emptied did he slowly settle down.

"How about this, you write down everything you said, and I will bring it to the palace to see the emperor.

I will plead for you in front of His Majesty, but you have to know.

For Your Majesty, only those who are valuable have more chances of survival.

Of course, Your Majesty will never treat meritorious officials unfairly! ..."

Qi Mingze has figured out the carrot and stick approach of giving a sweet reward after a beating.

He took out a bundle of simple pencils and placed them on the table. The moment Fang Xing saw it, he felt relieved and became even more convinced that Qi Mingze was not trying to trick him.

Just before leaving, Qi Mingze seemed to suddenly think of something and turned around to say something.

“We have also invited someone who is in the same situation as you.

It’s just that he doesn’t seem to be cooperating, so I’m more optimistic about you. I hope you won’t let me down! "

After Qi Mingze left, Fang Xing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slumped down in the chair.

The ancient feudal dynasties were so terrible. Thinking back on how naive I was a few days ago, the past is really unbearable to recall.

But the most urgent thing now is to save your own life first.

As for getting promoted and making money, according to Mr. Qi, it is not impossible to achieve.
