Gu Siyuan had sharp eyes, and looked at the front porch for a while, but didn't recognize what kind of seed it was.So he got up, walked to Zhong Lidai's side against the sun, and asked curiously, "Grandmother, what are you planting?"

Zhong Lidai threw three or four seeds into the ground, and seeing that Zhong Liran had buried them, he responded, "This is called 'Baogu', something brought back by sea merchants. It is said to be food, not delicate, and easy to feed. See if you can survive."

The state of Chu can't stop the sea, but there is no official order to reorganize the navy.However, Chu people are free by nature and believe that the place where the sun rises is the place protected by the Eastern Emperor. Therefore, there are many seafaring merchants in Wanzhou and Zhongzhou.

Zhong Lidai knew quite a few seafaring merchants, and every time he waited for them to come back, he would get a lot of good things.Of course, those who can come back are lucky, and those who can't come back are mostly buried in the sea.

Ever since Emperor Liewu made a big move in Wuhu 40 years ago, Baixin of the Chu Kingdom has been in dire straits.It was not until Emperor Ming of Chu ascended the throne that he vigorously developed people's livelihood and recuperated for more than 20 years before he breathed a sigh of relief.

But Chu State was resting and recuperating, and the barbarians in the northern border also breathed a sigh of relief.When Emperor Chu Ming was in his later years, the rejuvenated barbarians also came to attack frequently.

Although the state of Chu is vast in land and resources, it also has a large population.Food is the most important thing for the people, and what the Chu State has to solve at the moment is still the matter of a mouthful of food.

On one side was the barbarian rebellion on the border, and on the other side was the people's livelihood plan in the country. Emperor Chu Ming had a hard time when he was in power.

After Zhong Liran ascended the throne, people kept telling her that the treasury was surplus.Actually, after Zhong Liran inquired clearly from Jian Tiansi, he still had some doubts.

The northern border of Lanzhou is bitterly cold, and the grazing has to be invaded by barbarians.Ningzhou is full of sand and soil, and the crops cannot support people.The two prefectures of Zhongwan and Wanzhou often encounter floods, and the treasury will be empty for many years after one visit.Not to mention the west of Yanzhou, the mountains in the west of Yanzhou are rugged and the land is barren.Despite the abundance of rain, there are places where no rice can be grown at all.

All these matters were left to the young Zhong Liran.After Zhong Liran ascended the throne, he followed the example of Emperor Ming and lived a tight life.Not only that, she also entrusted Zhong Lidai to ask the sea merchants what kind of good and not so delicate grains are there overseas.

Like her father, she thinks that something that can support people is a good thing, no matter whether it is imported or not.These "bud grains" are the things that Zhong Lidai asked people for a long time before he got them.

I heard that this thing is not delicate, and it can live with a little soil and some fertilizer.If they were able to live, no matter how much they could harvest, at least the Baiyue people in the western part of Yanzhou would have some food.

Zhong Liran buried the soil, looked at the dropped seeds, and sincerely hoped that they could adapt to the soil and water of Chu and thrive.

After listening to Zhong Lidai's words, Gu Siyuan looked at the land under Zhong Lidai's feet, thoughtfully.

The author has something to say: the situation encountered by each monarch in different periods is not the same, Zhong Liran should be a king in a peaceful age.

One, the previous generation was very reliable and improved people's livelihood.Second, although they have many strengths, Maimai's life is actually not that difficult because of the mutual involvement.

The main reason for Zhong Lisuo's subjugation was that his house was stolen, and Nian Wang made it clear.

So Mai Mai, you should farm.

Chapter 8 II.2

In the afternoon of this day, the "Baogu" from overseas landed in Chu State.

After Zhong Lidai and Zhong Liran finished working on the front yard, they spent the next two days weeding.Gu Siyuan didn't ask himself when he could go back, so he stayed here with Zhong Liran day after day.

On the night of the fifth day, someone knocked on the door of Gu Siyuan's guest room.Gu Siyuan held a book and read it in front of a bean lamp. He got up when he heard the sound, and opened the door for the visitor.

The visitor was Zhong Liran, with a tidy crown and a neat little body, standing upright in front of Gu Siyuan, and said calmly, "I want to go in."

Gu Siyuan was a little surprised, he turned sideways to make way for her, and responded, "Please." Zhong Liran looked up at her, and stepped into the door.She entered the door, looked around, saw the book that Gu Siyuan put in front of the oil lamp, and said nothing.

Gu Siyuan closed the door casually, looked at Zhong Liran curiously, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have something to tell me?"

Zhong Liran nodded, walked to Gu Siyuan's bed, and sat down calmly.She reached out, patted the seat beside her, and said, "Sit down."

Gu Siyuan looked at her, nodded his promise, and sat down beside Zhong Liran.She turned her head, looked carefully at Zhong Liran's tense little face, and asked softly: "What does Your Majesty want to tell me?"

Zhong Liran seemed to be thinking about words, frowned and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to meet Gu Siyuan's, and said, "You can go back tomorrow."

Gu Siyuan nodded, but he didn't feel anything.Seeing her like this, Zhong Liran said, "In a few days, you may not be able to work in the Hongwen Museum."

Gu Siyuan thought, this is expected.Every time Zhong Liran said a word, he looked at her out of the corner of his eye. It was rare for her to talk too much, so she simply finished what she wanted to say word by word, "Although you can't teach students, you can still teach me. You are still young, and there are many things you don’t understand, you can teach me all of them.”

"In the future, I will not make your life too sad."

It sounds like a promise.Gu Siyuan felt that life was really wonderful. She never thought that she would have any entanglements with that deep palace, and she never thought that this immature child in front of her would give her a promise.Gu Siyuan smiled, nodded, and asked, "Can I do anything for Your Majesty?"

Zhong Liran thought for a while, and said to her: "It's good that you are here." Because Gu Siyuan, as the queen, is her best choice now.Although Zhong Li was young, he was extremely transparent, and then couldn't help asking: "Gu Siyuan, do you have someone you like?"

Gu Siyuan asked her back, and said: "So what, so what if you don't. Because of chance, all of this has to go according to fate. Your Majesty can do it as you like."

Zhong Liran's face became even tighter. She glanced at Gu Siyuan, and suddenly she didn't want to continue the conversation, so she said, "Are you going to sleep? I'm sleepy."

Gu Siyuan got up and said to Zhong Liran: "Then I'll take His Majesty back to rest." Zhong Liran didn't move, just sat on the bed, and didn't think of getting up at all.Seeing her like this, Gu Siyuan asked hesitantly: "Then Your Majesty is going to rest here?"

Zhong Liran raised his eyes, and asked it as a matter of course: "Can't you?"

Gu Siyuan smiled, nodded quickly and said: "Okay, then I will take off your clothes for Your Majesty." Zhong Liran didn't agree, just glanced at her and took off his shoes, and said as he took off, "I can take off by myself. "She has grown up, and she is no longer the child who struggled to unbutton her buttons.

Sitting aside, Gu Siyuan watched her remove her shoes and socks neatly, and couldn't help but reach out to give her a hand.She helped Zhong Liran take off his coat, and then loosened his hair crown.Only then did Gu Siyuan truly feel that Zhong Liran had grown up a lot.

The girl who was close to 12 years old had her hair loose and was sitting on the bed in only her middle coat. Her immature and beautiful face was half hidden by her half-length black hair.Four years ago, Zhong Liran was just a soft child, but now he has the appearance of a girl.

Gu Siyuan sat by the bed and stared at Zhong Liran for a long time, Zhong Liran moved to the bed, lifted the quilt to cover his knees, turned his head and said to her: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

After removing the clothes and hats, Zhong Liran completely lost the old-fashioned demeanor of the day, just a soft and waxy girl who is still growing.The corners of her eyebrows are actually soft, much like her gentle father.Even though she still spoke in that cold tone, she didn't sound as sharp as in the daytime, but rather like a child who was not good at words.

Gu Siyuan couldn't help but think of the first time she held the child to sleep many years ago.At that time, the king of Zhongzhou was on a tour of the surrounding cities, and Zhong Liran's mother-in-law also happened to go back to the countryside to visit relatives, so she left Zhong Liran in Gu's house and placed her next to Gu Siyuan's grandmother.

At that time, Zhong Liran was only six years old. For a very young child, his mother had to take care of him when he took a bath. Zhong Liran couldn't adapt to the absence of the nurse by her side. At dusk, the maids wanted to take her to take a bath, but Zhong Liran just sat on the chair in the study, unwilling to take off her clothes to take a bath no matter what.

At that time, Gu Siyuan was 15 years old, already a elder sister who could take care of others.Seeing Zhong Liran like this, she patiently coaxed her into the bathtub.

Zhong Liran doesn't like the maids very much, and just wants Gu Siyuan to follow.Gu Siyuan waited for her to undress and cleanse herself, and after she was done soaking, she was carried out of the bathtub and put on her clothes carefully.

Gu Siyuan, who grew up being waited on by others, is actually not good at serving others, especially when the other party is a child, so it is inevitable that he will be clumsy in dressing Zhong Liran.At that time, after tossing for a while, Zhong Liran was wrapped tightly again.
