"Where is the demon flower?" The next day, the emperor and Sima Guang appeared in the courtyard of Guozijian. Of course, they didn't come for the Flying Eagle Society, since they entered the courtyard, Emperor Shenzong had been looking left and right, and they never found the kind of rice sac flower that could be boiled into a soul-intimidating ointment.

"Your Majesty, the flowers have failed, and the newly cultivated land in the northeast corner is the nursery." The clump of rice sacs had ripened, and the seeds had been collected by Hongtao, and some of them had been scattered back into the ground.

"Will this flower survive the winter?" The emperor is not a fool who does not distinguish between grains and grains, and winter is about to begin, and it is obviously too late to plant at this time to bloom again.

"When it is not ......" Sima Guang was not too sure about this issue, and turned his gaze to the horse again.

"Before the winter, the minister will move the flower seedlings into the palace of Qionglin Yuan, and the built-in kang burns peat day and night for warmth, and there is sunlight during the day, and the flower seedlings can not only survive the winter, but also continue to grow, maybe they will bloom in the palace. If it can't survive, it will be cultivated with flower seeds after the beginning of spring, and there will be no effect. Flower seeds are not rare, next year the minister can send people to the southern states, roads to secretly collect flowers, once found usable materials, hire farmers on the spot to plant, when ripe to buy all the money. ”

Hong Tao still has a say in this issue, even if there is no glass and plastic film, it is impossible to build a greenhouse, but it is not uncommon to use the fire kang in the north to cultivate plants for the winter and bloom in winter.

You will know if you can try it successfully, and it doesn't matter if you fail, you still have flower seeds in your hand. Besides, since this plant is not uncommon in the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to worry about the seeds, and there is no need to worry about missing the solar terms.

"Good ...... What is a fire kang? Hong Tao's confidence and fluent answers satisfied the emperor, but then he asked another question.

"Uh...... It is made of bricks and mud, the beds and stoves are connected, and the fire bed in the stove is warm, which is the most suitable day for the cold winter. Hong Tao opened his mouth and rolled his eyes for a long time, and finally organized the language, explaining this daily necessities imported by the Manchus in a language that he thought was very Song Dynasty.

"And such a fetish? Sometimes I also want to get the green horse to kick it to get out of the way. The emperor probably didn't understand much, but he probably understood the meaning, and he didn't ask too much, but joked about the horse's frustration.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Fools have their own foolish blessings. "Hong Tao naturally can't say that if you kick your head to pieces, it's still an elm pimple or something like that, so he can only smirk and depreciate himself by the way, so that the emperor can be as happy as possible.

"Wang Xiang said that Jin Qing is wise and brave, but I am sorry that my ancestral system is hindered, and I must not be entrusted with important tasks. Jin Qing doesn't have to be sad, if this matter becomes the court, it will not live up to you, if there are any difficulties, you can say and come out, I and Sima Xianggong will be the master for you. ”

After these days of contact, Emperor Shenzong had changed his opinion about his brother-in-law. Let's not talk about the frightening flower ointment, just the two things of insect raising, wax making and abacus, are enough to show that the horse is not a sour literati who can only be used in the wind and snow. Coupled with the determination to endure humiliation and serve the country, it is a bit too much to look down on others.

"The minister doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes, but there is one thing that needs His Majesty's approval, and this is a statement written by the minister." No matter how warm the words are, Hong Tao doesn't feel that the temperature is half a point higher, and he doesn't have any practical top use for saying how much it sounds good. If you want to help me, come on, and lend me the craftsmen in the palace first.

"What if this matter is in a fair opinion?" The emperor took the fold and handed it to Sima Guang casually after only a few glances, and the expression on his face did not change much.

"The minister thinks that there is nothing to ......" Sima Guang saw faster than the emperor, the cause and effect of opening a printing workshop was very simple, there was nothing to ponder, and Hong Tao did not mention the matter of lead printing at all.

"Then it's with Jin Qing, Qionglin Yuan is willing to give up, why can't the craftsman give up, just take it!"

Emperor Shenzong heard that the prime minister had no opinion, so he directly took out a palm-length brush from his belt, removed the cap and brushed the brush to make instructions on the fold, and then handed it back to Hong Tao. As for how much of the construction of the Flying Eagle Club has been completed and how much is left, and when it will open, he didn't ask, and took a few attendants on the horse and left.

"Xianggong still has something to say?" Hong Tao carefully dried the folds, and was just about to put it in his arms, only to find that Sima Guang and the two guards were still standing in place.

"Gao Cuifeng, the word Xia Shu, the old husband and nephew; Little Zhengzi, the fourth rank of the guard. Your Majesty is sympathetic to Jinqing, and he is hereby entrusted to you, and the household registration will be sent to the house in a few days. Political affairs can be asked about Xia Shu, and the safety is protected by the little kite. Haven't you two come to see the head of the house? ”

Sima Guang did have something to say, and the two people behind him were not the emperor's entourage, but the helpers to be sent to the horses. Listening to the introduction, Gao Xiashu, who is dressed as a literati in his thirties, should be Sima Guang's person, and the younger, black-faced and beardless little zither must be the emperor's person, and he smells of a eunuch when he hears the name.

"I was grateful...... I don't know what Wang Xiang ...... said, "Sending someone to his side to assist or call for surveillance, Hong Tao is not strange at all, this was discussed at the beginning, and it is not normal not to send it."

Since you're here, it's still a text and a martial arts, so don't talk nonsense, let's go on. But after Wang Anshi fell this time, Hong Tao couldn't figure it out, it should be at least three of them.

"Jiefu has always acted in an eclectic manner, Jin Qing will know when he returns home, and the old man will leave......" Sima Guang did not answer the question of the horse directly, smiled very strangely, and got on the horse and left alone while laughing.

"You two old things aren't good birds!" Hong Tao can't imagine who will be waiting for him in the house, anyway, he doesn't like this rhythm of blind guessing, and naturally there will be no good words in his mouth.

"Tell the ...... Alas, forget it, you and I can't help ourselves...... Go home! ”

Still angry after scolding, Hong Tao planned to lash out at the two people around him who seemed to be respectful, but in fact, he didn't know how to look at his new assistant.

But as soon as he had said half a sentence, he stopped again, sighed and walked towards his horse. The two of them were also ordered by others not to come, and it really didn't make sense to be angry with the two chess pieces, but it made people look down on them.

"Brother Jin Qing walks slowly...... Brother Jin Qing walked slowly...... "Out of the courtyard gate of the Flying Eagle Society, I had just walked a hundred and ten meters away, and there was a shout behind me.

"Zhou ...... Elder brother! Lou...... Elder brother! But call me? Hong Tao turned his head on the horse and looked, yes, he had to get off the horse and say hello, acquaintance.

Panting and catching up with the two doctors in the academy, the names are still remembered, Zhou Bin and Lu Shilang. But intellectuals in this era have to call each other, and the name has a derogatory meaning, so it is better not to call it.

The problem is that Hong Tao is not used to memorizing words when he sees people, and he really can't remember it for a while, and he can't say that he has forgotten, which is even more impolite.

"Why didn't Jin Qing come to the academy to teach for a long time, could it be that the skills of abacus need to be passed on by people close to him?"

People who study science are prone to this kind of straightforward temper, Zhou Bin seems to be very good at talking, but after encountering something, he still has a strong student spirit, and he can't speak.

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand, the two brothers don't have to misunderstand, there are a lot of trivial things in the house these days, and I really can't get away. The abacus needs to be used with both hands, eyes and brains, so I will make more and share it with you. ”

However, Hong Tao likes people with this kind of temper, just say whatever he wants, don't be like the Gao Cuifeng behind him, he has a lot of questions in his stomach and wants to ask, but he has to pretend to have the virtue of not having any problems. I won't take the initiative to mention it, I'll suffocate you!
