Seeing this, Jin Shuai quickly reached out to help Li Jie up, and said with a smile, "Lord Li, you are too kind. Please do not stand on ceremony! It is my honor to have Lord Li's help today! Come, come, Lord Li, please take a look at this drawing." As he spoke, Jin Shuai gently handed the carefully drawn farm drawing to Li Jie.

Li Jie respectfully extended both hands and carefully accepted the drawing. He narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing his gaze on the lines and markings on the paper, examining every detail with rapt attention. After a moment, he raised his head, looked at the lord before him, and asked softly, "My lord, may I ask who created this drawing?"

Upon hearing Li Jie's question, Jin Shuai couldn't help but feel puzzled. He frowned and asked in return, "What? Is there something wrong with this picture?"

Li Jie quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, it's just that I still have some questions about certain parts and would like to ask you about them."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai laughed heartily and said generously, "Oh, I see! Then you've come to the right person. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. Don't worry too much."

Li Jie looked slightly bewildered, clearly surprised by Jin Shuai's straightforward attitude. However, he quickly recovered, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively pointed to a spot on the drawing, pointing out what he thought was somewhat unreasonable.

Jin Shuai looked in the direction Li Jie pointed, smiled slightly, and then patiently began to explain. Time passed by, and before they knew it, an hour had quietly slipped by. During this time, Li Jie asked many questions about the firewalls, the kang room, the irrigation canals, the chicken coop, the duck and goose sheds, the fishpond, the pigsty, and the cattle and sheep pens, and Jin Shuai patiently answered them one by one.

Finally, all the questions were answered satisfactorily. Li Jie breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Jin Shuai again to express his gratitude. Then, he straightened up, preparing to take his leave.

Jin Shuai smiled and saw Li Jie to the door, then solemnly instructed him, "Do not spread this information out for now. Unless the Emperor inquires, do not easily reveal it." Li Jie nodded repeatedly in agreement, indicating that he would obey the instructions, and then turned and walked away with light steps.

Just then, the old master finished his busy day of official duties and slowly returned from the yamen. As he arrived at the gate of his mansion, he happened to meet Jin Shuai. The old master smiled and kindly took Jin Shuai's small hand, and together they walked into the mansion. Along the way, the old master enthusiastically told Jin Shuai about the interesting anecdotes and stories that had happened in the court that day, about the ministers' attempts to force the emperor to abdicate.

Jin Shuai listened with great interest, occasionally letting out a hearty laugh. He thought to himself, "Emperor Renzong of Song has an excellent reputation throughout history! Everyone praises him for his benevolence, strict self-discipline, and lack of indulgence in luxury. He is truly a benevolent ruler recognized by historians, and one of the most skilled emperors in governing the country." However, it is regrettable that although Emperor Renzong had many wives and concubines throughout his life, his fate was rather unfortunate in terms of offspring. He was unable to have a biological son to inherit the supreme throne. In the end, he had no choice but to adopt Emperor Yingzong as his successor. But who knew that this Emperor Yingzong would turn out to be an ungrateful wretch!
