Compulsory education in ancient times

Zhao Li shuddered without knowing why, Tao Yanran calmly withdrew his gaze, and exchanged glances with Qi Bohan, both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

After the morning court, Tao Jianran learned that Liu Niang had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, so he hurriedly declared her an audience.

Liu Niang specially dressed up today, although the clothes are not very good, but she has a good temperament, with a little dressing up, she is more charming than many young girls.

Of course, Liu Niang was facing two homosexuals, and was not interested in the scenery in front of her. Tao Jianran only gave Liu Niang a seat in a friendly manner.

After Liu Niang sat down, she didn't wait for Tao Jianran to speak first, and said directly: "Your Majesty passed the concubine to see me, presumably because of the trees in the concubine's yard."

Tao Jianran didn't expect Liu Niang to be more upright than himself, so he was surprised and relaxed a lot.What he doesn't like the most are those twists and turns, and a straight temper is the only way to communicate!

So Tao Yanran nodded and replied: "Yes, and no. You should be clear that we care more about people with this ability than those trees."

"Your Majesty is quick to speak, and I know that people don't whisper. I know that Your Majesty is always looking for capable people. As long as Your Majesty agrees to one condition, I will be at His Majesty's disposal." Liu Niang said, kneeling directly on the ground .

"What condition? Tell me first." Tao Yanran winked and asked the little eunuch to help Liu Niang up.

Liu Niang sat back on the chair, with a hint of resentment on her face, she said in a low voice, "I want to ask Your Majesty to kill Zhao Li, his wife, and his daughter Zhao Shu!"

Tao Jianran heard that Liu Niang wanted to exchange three lives, and immediately looked at Qi Bohan helplessly.

Qi Bohan is calm, he has seen this kind of situation a lot.

In the past, he would definitely agree.

But considering Tao Yanran's mood, Qi Bohan had no choice but to change his rhetoric: "Revenge must be done with your own hands. I can promise you that I will not interfere with your revenge. And as long as you help me do things, there will be more opportunities to gain power in the future." Status. At that time, are you afraid that you will not be able to avenge yourself?"

When Liu Niang heard this, she hesitated.She naturally wanted to kill her enemies, but... Even if she had the power given by the emperor in the future, would she really be able to kill the head of such a big family?

Tao Jianran instantly understood Qi Bohan's strategy of slowing down the army, so he also said, "Well, after ten years, if you still can't take revenge by yourself, then I will tie these three people in front of you and let you dispose of them."

Ten years later, Zhao Li might not be alive by then.If ten years is not enough for Liu Niang to let go of her hatred, then let them understand their grievances by themselves. Anyway, Tao Jianran will never help kill people.

Of course, before that, Tao Jianran still had to ask the dark guard to check what happened as usual.If Zhao Li's family is really deceiving people too much, he doesn't mind helping Liu Niang to push her.

After thinking for a while, Liu Niang agreed.

If she didn't seize this opportunity, she might not be able to take revenge in this life!

The two sides quickly reached an agreement.Liu Niang went to the Institute of Biology in Ning'an to teach the researchers the knowledge of plant grafting. After someone completely inherited her mantle, she could choose to stay or stay.

And during this period, if Liu Niang made any significant contribution to the research institute, she could exchange for a head...ah no, an enemy, or other rewards.

So, as long as Liu Niang works hard, revenge within ten years is not impossible!

Tao Jianran looked at the back of Liu Niang leaving contentedly, and sighed a little worriedly: "It's a pity that she is talented. If she can devote all her mind to research, her achievements will definitely be greater than she is now."

"Let's find out what's going on first." Qi Bohan was also a little angry.

Although he knew that in those aristocratic families, no matter how clean the family style was, it was inevitable that there would be filth, but he didn't think that something about the Zhao family would affect such a talented person.

Qi Bohan suddenly understood why Tao Jianran was so obsessed with improving the status of women.If Liu Niang hadn't been taken as a concubine by Zhao Lin, I don't know what the situation would be like now.

Liu Niang quickly left the capital, and the Zhao family members who had been secretly paying attention to her breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that this woman was not valued by His Majesty, and she was kicked out of the capital on purpose, so it shouldn't be a serious problem.

When Liu Niang arrived in Ning'an, the war between Ding Qingyun and Nanman was in full swing.

Although Ning'an is still a long way from the border of the Nanban, as the main supply place for this war, the atmosphere in Ning'an is much more tense than that of the capital.

As for the key point of this war, the team in charge of studying the wizard's blood at the Institute of Biology was even more solemn, and it also affected the mood of the members of the corn research team next door.

As soon as Liu Niang came to the research institute, she was surrounded by a bunch of bitter faces. For a moment, she thought that she seemed to have entered some terrible den of thieves, and she froze at the door for a moment.

Suddenly, Tao Xiran was holding a small box, mumbling something in his mouth, rushed in from the outside like a small cannonball, and accidentally pushed Liu Niang down!

Tao Xiran felt that something was wrong, so she looked up at the road and realized that she had knocked down a woman, and it was not right to help her for a while, or not to help her, so she could only apologize embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

"It's nothing." Liu Niang stood up, rubbed her sore shoulder from the fall, and looked at Tao Xiran suspiciously, not knowing where she had offended this young man.

Tao Xiran didn't think too much, and when Liu Niang said it was fine, she ran to the laboratory in a hurry, shouting as she ran, "Everyone, I came up with a new idea!"

In the laboratory, everyone's movements were interrupted by Tao Xiran's voice, and they all looked up at him.

Tao Xiran put the box in his arms on the table very excitedly: "This is something I extracted from the scorpion grass. I just did an experiment with mice. After taking this powder, the mice can last half a day in the fragrance. an hour!"

Ziliancao is something that can freely pass through the miasma if it is contained.When the army returned to Ning'an to fetch gunpowder, they brought some back to the research institute by the way.

"What about half an hour later? Is the mouse dead?" a researcher asked.

The wizard's blood is not only a drug, but also a drug.Inhalation of overdose can also lead to death!That's how the guards and attendants in the palace died like this.

"After half an hour, the effect of the medicine disappeared, just like before." Tao Xiran scratched his head, "I don't know what will happen if the dose is increased."

"Half an hour, it's already the best of all herbs." An elderly imperial doctor stroked his beard, "Let's rush to make a batch of pills and send them to the front line."

Tao Xiran was a little hesitant when he saw that everyone responded obediently.

He doesn't like to do these repetitive and non-technical things, but everyone is working hard for the front line, and it seems a bit unkind to do it himself.

After hesitating for a while, Tao Xiran decided to bite the bullet and said: "I think there is still room for improvement, how about... I will continue to study."

Hearing the words, the older imperial doctor was a little bit uncomfortable, but he still squeezed a smile and said: "That's fine, then I'll work hard for Imperial Doctor Tao."

When Tao Xiran heard the words, he didn't notice anything wrong, and immediately regained his vitality: "It's not hard work, I'm going to continue my research!"

During the experiment just now, Tao Xiran discovered a strange situation. After the medicine powder touched the wizard's blood, it seemed that some kind of mutation had occurred...

As soon as Tao Xiran entered the research state, he completely forgot himself, and didn't notice the passage of time outside and his brother's family letter at all.

The weather in the capital was getting colder every day, and cotton cloth suddenly caught the attention of the nobles in the capital on a certain day in October.

This kind of fabric, which is softer and warmer than silk, is specially provided by the royal family and is extremely rare, and it immediately caught the local tyrants' rush to buy it.It was only half an hour after the publicity went out, and the only dozen or so pieces of cotton cloth were sold out!

Facing the scene of too many monks and too little porridge, the ministers who had bought sweet potato seeds from Tao Jianran thought about the idea of ​​cotton seeds again.

However, this time Tao Jianran refused to agree easily.

Cotton is good, but it takes up grain land.Nowadays, there are still many poor people in Ruichao who are not getting enough to eat, so the need to keep warm will naturally be put behind.

However, since the enthusiasm of these ministers is so strong, it is also very helpful to promote cotton planting, and they cannot be killed with a single stick.So Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan came up with a new policy.

Except for the three states that specifically promote cotton planting, in the rest of the places, the fields used by each household for planting cotton shall not exceed one-fifth of the area of ​​arable land for grain.

If it is found that there are too many crops, the arable land for growing cotton will be taken back by the government!The head of the household still has to suffer [-] boards!

Therefore, if you want to keep your own fields and life, you'd better obey the policy obediently.

In addition to restraining the people, he also gave death orders to magistrates everywhere.After the opening of cotton planting, the local food tax revenue should not be less than in previous years.If less...

As soon as this policy came out, the aristocratic families who originally wanted to make a fortune by growing cotton lost their interest instantly.

Although cotton is good, they also know that the two above are now keeping a close eye on the aristocratic family, and there is no need for them to be blacklisted by the empress for this little money.

It's just that I have asked before, and the two majesties have so considerately formulated new policies for them, and the ministers also expressed their interest and bought some cotton seeds.Anyway, after planting it, it is not bad to add a few cotton cloths to your home in the coming year.

After the hustle and bustle of cotton has passed, it will be the day when officials from all over the country come to Beijing to report on their duties.

Tao Jianran planned to bring up a few more people next year, ready to take over Zhao Li's job.

"Bohan, look at how Xi Tianyun is. He has outstanding political achievements in the local area, and Zhizhou even specially recommended him. But why does my name seem familiar to me?" Tao Yanran touched his chin, but couldn't remember where he was. I've never seen this name before.
