During the past few days of raising seedlings in the greenhouse, Liu Chan would come over basically every day to take a look.
Several servants of Zhang Shao's family are more obedient. They take turns on duty to maintain the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse.
On the second day, Liu Chan entered the greenhouse and found that the rice seeds had just begun to break out of their shells, which seemed to be slower than the seedlings he had seen when he was a child.
But he was young at that time, and he didn't know whether other things, such as medicines, would be added to the greenhouse seedlings.
Even if there are any drugs added, Liu Chan can only think about it, it is impossible in this era.
But seeing the rice seeds breaking out of their shells is a good sign, at least we have seen hope.
The rice seeds in the rice fields outside were sown two days earlier than his. At this time, it was still rice seeds, and there was no sign of even breaking the shell.
Liu Chan asked a fellow villager who said that after the rice seeds are sown, it will take six or seven days for the rice seeds to break through their shells and then begin to sprout.
In short, it is much slower than his greenhouse.
Zhang Shao was watching from the other side of the greenhouse, while Liu Chan returned to the palace and studied step by step.
Zhuge Liang was away on an expedition, so the court no longer held court meetings every day. Zhuge Liang had arranged all government affairs, and Liu Chan was happy to have some leisure time.
In addition to reading and studying every morning, Liu Chan would go to a small courtyard in the suburbs in the afternoon.
In the blink of an eye.
More than ten days passed. Early that morning, Liu Chan got up early, and Queen Zhang Yuan was a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty!"
"Why did I get up so early today? In the past, I would only get up in late..."
Liu Chan was busy changing his clothes and said with a smile: "I have a big event today. Queen, would you like to watch it with me?"
Zhang Yuan raised her eyebrows and said, "What a happy event this is. Your Majesty might as well tell Zi Tong first."
"The secret must not be leaked," Liu Chan gently tapped the tip of Zhang Yuan's nose: "If it is leaked, it will be worthless."
Zhang Yuan has long been used to it.
My husband seemed to have changed his temper after the late emperor died of illness two years ago.
No longer as docile as before, at least in front of her.
Sometimes I feel that he is a little frivolous, and sometimes he will play tricks, but in front of the ministers, he is still the docile Adou.
Zhang Yuan prefers the current Liu Chan.
At least he understands taste better.
"Your Majesty!"
"I want to know now!"
Accustomed to Liu Chan's current temperament, Zhang Yuan would occasionally act boldly, because every time Zhang Yuan acted like a baby, Liu Chan seemed to enjoy it.
"I won't tell you!"
The corners of Liu Chan's mouth raised, and he was about to go out after getting dressed. Zhang Yuan pouted: "Your Majesty, please wait for me!"
When Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan arrived in front of the palace gate, a group of guards had been waiting for them for a long time, headed by a white-faced scholar.
"Your Majesty, please see the Queen!" This white-faced scholar, whose surname is Zhuge, single name is Qiao, and courtesy name is Bosong. He is the adopted son of Zhuge Liang and serves as the Prince Consort.
"Bosson! Let's go!"
Zhuge Qiao was ordered to protect the emperor when he left the palace today, so he led 300 guards and waited at the palace gate early in the morning.
"No!"
Zhuge Qiao responded, and when Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan got on the carriage, the large group of people walked out of the city.
The emperor leaves the palace.
Such ostentation still attracted people's attention.
There are many people watching the excitement on the street.
They were also all curious about what monster this indifferent emperor was trying to catch.
Liu Chan was sitting in the carriage, a little excited. He deliberately let people know that he was going out of the city today, and he deliberately made such a big splash.
Among the onlookers, there were some curious people who followed behind from a distance.
An hour later.
The team appeared in a small farmhouse in the suburbs. Today, there were guards standing guard all around the small courtyard. In addition to the more than 300 guards brought by Zhuge Qiao, Zhang Shao also called all the five hundred steps of Zhang Mansion.
Come over here.
In the past, the emperor would disguise himself and no one would know that he was Liu Chan. Today, he appeared as the emperor blatantly.
Safe!
Safety is important.
Liu Chan led Zhang Yuan out of the carriage and looked around at the guards and Zhang family members.
The people in nearby villages were blocked from the outside, which made Liu Chan a little unhappy.
"Zhang Shao!"
Liu Chan pointed to the people watching outside and said: "Let the people come in. The original purpose of doing these things is to let the people see it and then be promoted."
"If you isolate them outside, wouldn't it be a waste of all my hard work these days?"
Zhang Shao was a little uneasy: "Your Majesty!"
"Don't be afraid!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "A good emperor is not afraid to see the people, only a cowardly tyrant dare not see his people."
"Go!" Liu Chan said, "Let the common people come in."
Although Zhang Shao was unwilling and Zhuge Qiao was a little uneasy, the emperor had already said this, so they couldn't stop him, so they had no choice but to follow Liu Chan's wishes and let in the people watching from outside.
However, all the people who were let in had to go through layers of checks before being let in.
Liu Chan stood at the door of the greenhouse and smelled the smell emanating from the greenhouse.
This taste!
Very familiar!
Zhang Yuan covered his nose because the smell was not particularly pleasant.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yuan frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is this the happy event your Majesty said?"
Zhang Yuan didn't see any happy event at all. There was a very big and strange tent, which exuded an unpleasant smell.
Liu Chan smiled faintly at her, and then said loudly to the people who gathered around him: "Fellows, since you are here today, I will share with you a happy event that is closely related to us."
The people suddenly had some expectations.
Being closely related to them is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having sex, but while I look forward to it, I also have some doubts.
Because Liu Chan is the emperor, they can just listen and watch.
"Food!" Liu Chan said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Food is the lifeblood of our people and the lifeblood of a country."
The people who were watching all agreed with this sentence. In this era, whoever can make them eat well will be regarded as a god.
With that said, Liu Chan asked a guard to go to the greenhouse and bring out the seedlings.
There are eight dustpans in total.
Originally there were only three, but later he saw that the rice seeds were broken, so he added five more dustpans.
Each dustpan is full of seedlings.
The common people are a little confused.
"Your Majesty!" an elderly man suddenly asked: "Are crops planted in this dustpan?"
Others are curious too.
They have been cultivating crops for generations, but they have never seen anyone planting rice into a dustpan.
Although it looks like the seedlings are growing well, it seems a bit childish no matter how you look at it.
Liu Chan smiled when he heard this: "Of course crops are not planted in dustpans, they have to be planted in paddy fields." Then Liu Chan turned around and pointed to a paddy field not far away and said, "Look, I have prepared the paddy field."
!"
Everyone looked up and felt even more confused. They said it was paddy fields, but in fact it was more like children playing house.
