Without the "shit stirrer" Lin Zhishuang, except for Mo Lan and Chang Feng who were a little unhappy, Sheng Hong found that the Sheng family was full of joy.
After solving the time bomb of Lin Zhishuang, Sheng Hong no longer treated Mo Lan and Chang Feng differently, and allowed all the children to go out and play on the streets for a few days.
Mo Lan is a child at heart, and with Sheng Hong's personal company, she gradually regained her optimism and cheerfulness. This was also due to the reason why Sheng Hong isolated Mo Lan and Lin Yushuang in advance some time ago.
As for Sheng Changfeng, let alone that, he has never left the Sheng family since he was taught a lesson by Sheng Hong last time he competed with Gu Tingye in Yangzhou.
When I entered Tokyo this time, I was completely free to have fun like a runaway horse.
"Mother, I heard that you know a palace maid named Aunt Kong?"
"I did get to know Grandma Kong in the palace before. Why do you ask me this?" The old lady looked at Sheng Hong with a puzzled look.
"After entering Tokyo this time, my son has contacted a scholar from Da Confucianism who he was familiar with before and came to our Sheng Family Private School!
As for the Minglan sisters, I also want to let them learn some palace etiquette.
So I would like to ask my mother to contact Grandma Kong, it would be best if she could stay in our Sheng family!"
"Yes! The master has such an idea, it is very necessary! I will take care of Grandma Kong's affairs!" The old lady smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you mother!"
"By the way! When will the construction of the "Sheng Family Library" in Tokyo City begin?"
"Mom, I have asked Dongrong to find a shop!
Tokyo is not like Yangzhou, and our Sheng family is not familiar with it, so it may be a little troublesome!"
"Well! You'd better leave these trivial matters to me!
Just be ready to go to court for the first time!"
"Yes! Mother!"
"It's just, mother, my son is planning to be more high-profile when he comes to Beijing this time. I hope mother won't be surprised!"
"Oh? How can I keep a high profile?
Do you still want to break the sky?" The old lady suddenly looked at her son Sheng Hong in front of her in a funny way.
"Eh? It's not like breaking the sky!
I just want to do something earth-shattering to let the city of Tokyo know that someone like me, Sheng Hong, is here!"
"Master, you are a wealthy man, so just do whatever you want!
However, I still want to advise you, take it easy in everything!"
"My son knows it!"
...
No matter what era or world, vacations are short. After Sheng Hong accompanied his children to stroll around Tokyo for a few days, he came to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and went to court for the first time in his life.
Thinking of the original drama, when Sheng Hong went to court for the first time, he even made a joke.
Because I was too timid and had never seen the quarrel between the emperor and the ministers, the emperor and the Grand Prime Minister were so frightened that the jade tablet dropped from their hands. It was really embarrassing!
She asked Wang Ruofu, the eldest lady, to help him put on his official uniform, and holding his own black jade hat, Sheng Hong spun around a few times.
"Madam, how are you doing?"
"Officer, you are so majestic!" Wang Ruofu, the eldest lady, praised him with eyes brightening.
"I like your ladyship's auspicious words more and more, sir!"
Before dawn, Sheng Hong arrived at the palace in an official sedan, and followed the "old fritters" to the main hall.
Looking at the environment around the palace, everything was full of novelties. Sheng Hong looked at the crowd in front of him, just like passengers entering the station and boarding the train. There was no need to worry about disorientation.
When I came to the main hall, under the guidance of the eunuch, I stood in the corner, waiting for the first royal meeting in my life.
The emperor started talking about the locust plague in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then asked if there were any officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At this time, Sheng Hong appeared.
"My lord, Cheng Zhilang, the new minister, Sheng Hong, has just been promoted to Tokyo from Yangzhou!"
"Oh? Sheng Hong, I know you!
Good handwriting!
Please tell me about the locust plague in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"
After hearing the emperor's question, Sheng Hong was about to answer. Mr. Han on the side looked at Sheng Hong with disdain, and then suddenly rushed to answer, "Your Majesty, I have also witnessed several locust plagues.
Just raise more chickens and ducks!
No big deal!”
Hearing Mr. Han's quick answer and feeling his "king's contempt" for him, Sheng Hong felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking that the Zhou Dynasty was infinitely close to the Song Dynasty in history, and it was still the custom for scholar-bureaucrats not to be punished, and at most to be demoted, Sheng Hong decided not to bear it anymore.
"I have something else to report..."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing with the Prime Minister's words!" Seeing that Prime Minister Han wanted to talk about the establishment of an heir, Sheng Hong suddenly said loudly and shockingly.
The emperor and ministers in the hall all knew what Mr. Han wanted to say. When they were about to watch a good show, they suddenly heard Sheng Hong's cross. It was really shocking.
"Oh? Sheng Aiqing, tell me!" The emperor suddenly looked at Sheng Hong with a playful expression.
Ignoring the surprised looks of his colleagues and grand ministers in the hall, Sheng Hong said loudly, "Your Majesty, food is the most important thing for the people!
Civil uprisings in all dynasties were almost always caused by natural and man-made disasters.
What the Grand Prime Minister just said, isn't it as ridiculous as why not eat minced meat?"
"What?" All the ministers in the hall, including the emperor on the dragon throne, looked at Sheng Hong in shock.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, when the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Great Zhou Dynasty have to change their children to eat because of this locust plague, where will they get the money to raise chickens and ducks?"
"Sheng Aiqing, what are the countermeasures?" The emperor suddenly became really interested.
"Your Majesty, the court should prepare for disaster relief in advance.
Encourage people to catch locusts, dry them in the sun and grind them directly into powder.
Then the imperial court purchased a large amount of food and exchanged one pound of grain for ten pounds of locust powder!"
"When people have food in their hands, they have hope of survival, and they will no longer beg and wander around!"
Upon hearing Sheng Hong's method, the ministers and the emperor's eyes lit up, and then the emperor still looked at Sheng Hong doubtfully, "Sheng Aiqing, this method is feasible!
But why does the imperial court need so much locust powder?"
"Your Majesty, locust powder can actually be eaten directly!
It’s just the people’s inherent mindset that makes them unwilling to eat it!
The imperial court obtained a large amount of locust powder, which can be mixed with rice husk powder and rice straw powder, and then sold together to farmers who raise chickens, ducks and pigs as feed!"
"Haha, Sheng Aiqing is so eloquent!
All ministers, please come and discuss Sheng Aiqing's method?" The emperor laughed happily.
After hearing Sheng Hong's method, Mr. Han on the side put away his contempt for him and looked at another tall Mr. Han on the side.
With Sheng Hong, Cheng Yaojin, who came out of nowhere, the topic of heir establishment was completely changed among the ministers, and they were all discussing the locust plague in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Some far-sighted officials were all enlightened when they heard Sheng Hong's description of how to make feed, and they all saw a lot of business opportunities in it.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, although doing business is the lowest level, let me ask the officials of the Zhou Dynasty, which of them does not have their own business?
Seeing that Sheng Hong changed the topic of establishing an heir, the Grand Prime Minister, the happiest person was the emperor on the dragon throne. At this moment, Sheng Hong's name was also written down in his heart.
When the two prime ministers came to their senses, they were already helpless. Then Mr. Han glanced at Sheng Hong angrily and said, "Humph! What a flattery!"
