Chapter 337: The History of Chrysanthemum

? "I have thought of the title of the book, so it is called "The Journey to the West". Based on the experience of Yuanwailang, I write down the style of the extreme west, appropriately 'get the reference', and make some strange legends of gods and gods, and have love, hate, and love..."

"What do you like to hear and see... The beautiful princess in Fanbian must have, and then fall off the cliff and get adventures, and...."

"The protagonist of this work must have a helper to help the protagonist turn bad luck. First, he is a divine monkey with great powers, a irritable personality, but is eager to be righteous; second, he is a greedy and lustful pig demon, a pig teammate who specializes in making trouble; third, he is a wise and foolish Shatuo..."

"The exclusive copyright of the School Society is the original author, of course it is XXX. As for Wang Yuanwailang, since he doesn't mind, his name will be saved... The preface must emphasize that 'This work is purely fictional, if there is any similarity, it is purely coincidence'."

Under the light, Yuwen Wen said enthusiastically. He planned to find business opportunities from Wang Shichong's journey to the west, and to "draw" on "Journey to the West" in moderation, and to produce a best-selling book that will make a profit.

He was thinking about the plot, but was interrupted by Xiao Jiuniang, who was busy sorting out the book case: "Erlang, Wang Yuanwailang went through a lot of hardships to bring back the precious flowers. There should be a formal reward, right?"

Yuwen Wen asked back: "A thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one mansion is too shabby?"

"No, I mean the reward from the court."

"Ah, that's right, promotion is inevitable."

Yuwen Wen pondered that he did not immediately become an official today, not because he had any objections to Wang Shichong, but because he was actually maintaining the rules he set.

The appointment and promotion of officials must be carried out according to the system, that is, the relevant procedures must be completed, so that the officials can evaluate Wang Shichong's contributions and promote according to the system. They cannot directly sign an official and make a wish just because the emperor is on a whim. This is not good.

Anyway, the contributions made by Wang Shichong will inevitably receive the rewards they deserve, so there is no rush. Besides, Yuwen Wen also wants to make this matter a good thing that others cannot pick on, so as not to be criticized, saying that Wang Shichong is completely "promoting flowers".

If he promised a governor to the other party on the spot, then Wang Shichong might be dubbed "The Governor of the Chrysanthemum". He was a villain, and Yuwen Wen became a fool who was abusive and important positions in the court.

Thinking of the word "Chrysanthemums", Yu Wenwen suddenly felt aroused in his heart. Looking at Xiao Jiuniang, who was as beautiful as a flower, he had a lot of thoughts.

In a certain version of the story of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, a strange flower "Qionghua" bloomed in Yangzhou. The matter was reported to the treacherous minister Wang Shichong in the court, and thus obtained the appointment of the foolish monarch Yang Guang and became the "Qionghua Prefect".

At that time, the Sui State abolished the state-level system and implemented the county system, so the prefect during the Daye period was equivalent to the governor.

There was the prefect of Qionghua before, and now there was the Chrysanthemum...

Yuwen Wen coughed dryly and pulled his thoughts back to reality. If pyrethra is real, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. After large-scale planting, it can not only kill mosquitoes, but also deal with fleas and bed bugs, which is of great help to improve the public health level.

More importantly, with mosquito coils, immigrants from the Central Plains to settle down in Lingnan have a magic weapon to protect themselves, and they will not be bitten by mosquitoes and are rampant of diseases. Combined with mosquito nets, it is enough to ensure the "survival rate" of immigrants.

There is no doubt that pyrethrum is a good thing, and mosquito repellent made of pyrethrum will inevitably sell well, so patent issues will follow.

According to Antulu, Wang Shichong wanted to present pyrethra to the court, just as Zhang Qian of the former Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions and brought a large number of Western Region crops to the Central Plains, just to benefit the country and the people. Therefore, in the future, the mosquito repellent made with pyrethra will not apply for any patents.

Whether this idea is made by Antuo or Wang Shichong voluntarily, it is no longer important. Smart people will naturally not want any "patents", because the emperor's favor can be much higher than any patent fee.

As he thought about it, Yuwen Wen began to think about Wang Shichong's appointment. This man made great contributions and also surveyed the national conditions of Rome and Persia in the extreme west. The contribution was tangible, but it was not the military achievements of destroying the country. So...

How high is the Beijing official? If you jump up, it is difficult to arrange it if you are anxious...

Is it true that you want to become a "Chrysanthemum"?

......

"Although Weizhou in Longyou is Zhongzhou, we cannot underestimate it. That is where the Li family county in Longxi is located. You should know what this means. After taking office, you must think clearly about how to grasp the time."

"Also, Weizhou is the prefecture of Qinzhou General Administration. Yuwen is an old man from the emperor's residence. He has been his companion since he was a child. He is the confidant in his heart. If you are under his jurisdiction, you will have to take care of it."

"Thank you, my husband, please tell me about this matter in detail about the affairs of this General Manager Yuwen. I'd better have a clear idea in my heart."

"The King Envoy, how can you claim to be a 'lower' now? You and I are both on the same level!"

"What do you mean by benefactor? If there is no benefactor, how can the subordinates have today..."

"No, this is what the King of Envoys exchanged for more than ten years of hard work. An dare not be greedy for merit."

"My benefactor is here, Wang respects me for a cup..."

In private, Antulu, the governor of Binzhou, was talking to Wang Shichong, the new governor of Weizhou. Although the two were not very different in age, Wang Shichong spoke up with a "benefactor" and made Antulu say "no need to do this", but he always felt comfortable in his heart.

As a person who has been in business for many years, he certainly knew that this was Wang Shichong's flattery, but anyone would like to listen to good words, so he no longer insisted on it.

Wang Shichong went to the extreme west alone, and after hardships, he spent more than ten years investigating the national conditions of Rome and Persia, and brought back the distant flower "Pythorax". This is now known to everyone in the court and the public.

Regardless of the emperor's reward, Wang Shichong brought back the flower seeds and cultivated plants that had not bloomed yet, and the medicinal effect could not be verified. Therefore, a few days after Wang Shichong met with the emperor, the Ministry of Personnel gave the selection results based on Wang Shichong's merits in the survey of the extreme west:

Promoted to governor of Weizhou.

It cannot be said that he has reached the top and is nicknamed "Chrysanthemums". But everyone knows that once the court confirms the "medicine effect" of the cross flower, such great achievements will further accumulate Wang Shichong's qualifications, which is very helpful for his career.

The most important thing is that the emperor is very happy, it is more important than anything else.

Wang Shichong knew that he had received this appointment because the emperor was examining his abilities. He used the wealth he had been in danger for more than ten years and could not stop there. So before taking office, he took advantage of Antulu's failure to return to office in Binzhou and asked for some important things.

Yuwen Shiwu, the chief manager of Qinzhou, was the slave of the emperor's residence and was a companion since childhood. This status was amazing. Wang Shichong knew that if he wanted to please the emperor, the first step was to learn how to please Yuwen Shiwu.

As the saying goes, "If you have a master, you will have a servant." Wang Shichong judged that Yuwen Shiwu's style of conduct should be somewhat similar to the emperor, but he had no chance to deal with the inner minister who was born as a slave in the emperor before, so he could only seek help from Antulu.

This kind of thing is definitely not free, so Wang Shichong got some of the gold and silver that had not yet been heated, and he transferred it to Antulu as a gift.

Antulo knew that this kind of topic was a bit sensitive, and the emperor had many eyes and ears. He was not sure if he had any around him, and he could not help all his servants. Otherwise, if he really had eyes and ears, the emperor would inevitably have doubts and thought that the two of them were conspiring, which would be a bad idea.

In this case, there may be ears in the partition wall, so you can't speak too directly.

"Brother Wang, when dealing with General Manager Yuwen in the future, don't think about taking shortcuts. It's best to do things seriously."
