Chapter 118: Different Eunuch Cao

"Okay, just be embarrassed." Yue Yang smiled mockingly, and then asked Cao Huachun: "Eunuch Cao, since you are not conveying the emperor's will, then you..."

Although Yue Yang didn't say the following words, the meaning was very obvious, and that was to ask: "Since there is no emperor's imperial edict, why are you here?"

Who is Cao Huachun? Although he is loyal, can a person who has been in the intrigue palace for decades be simple? As soon as Yueyang said that, he naturally understood what the other party meant.

I saw him say slightly: "Mr. Yue, we are here just now. It is just by the way to convey the official documents of the Ministry of War for you. The main reason is to ask you something for the emperor."

"Please speak for your father-in-law." Although he had roughly guessed Cao Huachun's purpose, Yue Yang still pretended to be confused.

Cao Huachun smiled and asked seriously, "Mr. Yue, the emperor sent our family here to ask you whether the matter of your fertile land yield a thousand pounds per mu in the memorial of Governor Xu is true or false."

Yue Yang smiled proudly and said, "Of course it's true. If your father-in-law doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Wuli Village to inquire and you will know."

Cao Huachun smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, our family believes that Lord Yue will not lie."

Cao Huachun naturally would not only believe Yue Yang's words about the one-sidedness of the yield per mu. In the past few days, he had already sent his subordinates to find out the matter clearly, otherwise his face would not be such a kind face today.

"Then... there is another question." Cao Huachun paused slightly and asked again: "The emperor asked our family to ask you that since ancient times, the yield per mu of grain is usually only about three stones, and at most only four stones. How can you do a thousand pounds per mu? Can you present this method to the court?"

"It's finally here." Yueyang had long been mentally prepared for this matter. After all, it is not a trivial matter to increase the yield per mu. No matter in any era, it is not too important for a country, especially in this era of relatively backward productivity. Food is even more related to the survival of a country.

But although he knew, the rice seeds in Yueyang's hand were indeed used up. He could only say helplessly to Cao Huachun: "Eunuch Cao, I'm really sorry. In fact, the reason why Wulizhai's grain was able to achieve such a great harvest was that Xiaguan got a rice seed from Folang Jiren, but the problem was that Xiaguan had used up this rice seed. Moreover, after this rice seed was mature, only a special method can be used to cultivate rice seeds, but even the Folang Jiren did not know about this method. Therefore, Xiaguan planned not to plant rice after a while, but instead plant other things."

"That's how it is!" Cao Huachun's disappointment was imaginable after hearing this, but he also understood that Yue Yang would not deceive him on such a problem, so he could only shake his head helplessly to express his regret.

Seeing Cao Huachun's disappointment, Yue Yang felt a little embarrassed and comforted: "Dadult. Although the rice seeds are gone, Xiaguan also has some seeds from other crops coming from overseas. These seeds are rare things that are not available in the Ming Dynasty today. It is said that the yield is also quite objective. Why don't you take them back and try planting them in various imperial villages?"

The so-called imperial farm is a farmland that belongs to the royal family. In the late Ming Dynasty, the area of ​​the imperial farm had reached more than 37,500 hectares. The management of the imperial farm was also carried out by eunuchs. The income from the imperial farm was naturally owned by the royal family.

"No need!" Cao Huachun waved his hand in vain, "Our family understands the virtues of the people in the Huangzhuang. Even if you plant the gold mountain for them, they can destroy the gold mountain."

"Do you really want it?" Yue Yang asked again tentatively, and then said, "Maybe it will be helpful to me, Daming."

"No." Cao Huachun shook his head with a wry smile: "You have said that those things are rare things that I have never had in the Ming Dynasty. Do you think I dare to give such things to the emperor? If it is not good, our family will have to take care of them."

"Oh, that's right!" Yue Yang then realized that not everything can be offered to the emperor. If the offer is done, everyone will be happy. But if the offer is not done well, the people below will be in trouble. So there are also some special considerations here.

"Then the officials have nothing to do."

Yue Yang was very regretful about this. He originally wanted to bring a batch of potatoes, corn and excellent seeds from later generations to Cao Huachun to plant them, so that the court could discover the benefits of these seeds. Then he promoted them to the entire Ming Dynasty through the power of the entire court, and thus eased the social relations that were about to collapse.

Yueyang has always believed that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the peasant uprisings one after another was because the land annexation of the entire society had reached its limit. In addition, natural disasters that lasted for ten years, countless farmers without land and food would naturally rise up when they could not survive, and then overthrow the entire Ming Dynasty. If the court had sufficient food, they would naturally have spare energy to provide disaster relief, so that social conflicts could be greatly alleviated and time for the Ming Dynasty to breathe.

But now it seems that I still think things are too optimistic. It takes a process to be accepted by society. Did I encounter great resistance shortly when I promoted hybrid rice last year?

Cao Huachun did not intend to bring these new crops back to the court, and Yueyang's joy of being promoted to garrison was slightly weakened. After accompanying Cao Huachun for a reception banquet, Cao Huachun also offered to say goodbye, and Yueyang did not try to keep him. He ordered the butler Cao Youqian to prepare a generous gift and then sent Cao Huachun out of the mansion.

After all this was done, the sky began to darken, and Yueyang felt a pain and fatigue all over. Just as he wanted to go back to his room to rest, a maid came over and said to him, "Son-in-law, let us miss ask you to come here."

Yueyang doesn't need to look at it to know that Xiaoman, the close maid who is sure of Hai Lanzhu, is the only one who insists on calling herself a son-in-law. Sometimes Yueyang really doesn't know what this little girl is thinking.

However, when his wife invited her, Yueyang naturally had to give her face. He stood up and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

When Yue Yang followed Xiaoman into Hai Lanzhu's room, he was surprised to find that not only Hai Lanzhu was in the room, but even Linglong sisters were here. The three of them were sitting on the big bed doing embroidery while talking, looking a warm scene.

Seeing this situation, Yue Yang felt warm in his heart. He walked to Hai Lanzhu, sat down, hugged her slender waist and joked: "Oh, what day is today? Why are you three sisters all here?"

Hai Lanzhu gave him a blank look and said, "As soon as you go out, you haven't come back for several days. I'm bored and no one talks with me, so I have to call Yuling and Yulong chats with me. Why can't it be possible?"

"Of course, whoever says it's not possible, I'll be anxious with him if anyone says it's not possible!" Yue Yang quickly patted his chest and expressed his attitude.

"Puchi." Hai Lanzhu smiled at Yue Yang's appearance, and pointed a delicate jade finger on Yue Yang's forehead and said angrily: "Die!"

The three girls in the room were not wearing much. Hai Lanzhu was wearing a loose light green silk dress. When she raised her hand, her sleeves slipped down, and a piece of arms that looked like a warm jade were exposed. In addition, her collar was so low that she could almost see the white patch from Yueyang's perspective that Yueyang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and asked with malicious intention: "That... did you sleep together at night when I was not here?"

But at this time, Hai Lanzhu was still focusing on the needlework in her hands, and did not realize that she had attracted a wolf. She replied while embroidering things: "Yes, sometimes when we three sisters are late, we sleep together. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Of course not, it's great." At this time, someone had already begun to have the urge to turn into a wolf. The two clutches had already begun to move around, and at the same time they said in a strange tone: "Then you can still sleep together tonight. Anyway, the bed is big, so it's okay to sleep with four people."

"What are the four people sleeping? Where did the fourth one come from... Huh...what are you going to do?"

At this time, Hai Lanzhu realized that she had already attracted a dangerous thing, but at this time she had no time to make any reaction and was thrown into the bed by this bad guy.

"Ah... you bad guy... Linglong girl is still next to you..."

"What are you afraid of? They can't escape later..."

At this moment, a guy who turned into a wolf began to do something bad again. When Hai Lanzhu looked at Linglong's sisters for help, she realized that the two sisters were not much better than herself. Soon the candles in the house fell dark at some point, and then a series of rapid murmurs sounded...

A short and long night has passed.

"Yueyang...get up...get up soon..."

A gentle and caring voice sounded in Yueyang's ears. Yueyang slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already bright and Hai Lanzhu, who was already dressed in an elaborate manner, was calling him to get up in his ears.

“Hey… so comfortable!”

Meimei stretched her waist, hugged Hai Lanzhu's slender waist and pulled her down and kissed her cherry lips hard before she asked lazily: "What's the matter with me? Can't I sleep more with my sister Linglong?"

"Miss Linglong has been back a long time ago. You are still sleeping when the sun is burning! "Hai Lanzhu twisted her husband's waist and said angrily: "When is it now? Get up quickly, I have something to tell you."
