Chapter 158 Asking for Rewards
The empress' eyes narrowed slightly and she stared at Jiang Fan for a while: "Why do you want Qinglian Garden?"
Jiang Fan scratched his head: "It's close. It's right next to mortals. With such a large area, I can try to grow some crops."
Many people, including the empress, were stunned. They did not expect that Jiang Fan's purpose was to farm. Indeed, Mortal Residence and Qinglian Garden are only separated by a wall, and they can be connected. Could it be that he really doesn't know the relationship between them?
"Growing crops?" The empress' eyes flashed: "Food for four seasons, ten thousand catties of grain?"
He said it without any beginning or end, and everyone was stunned and confused.
Jiang Fan seemed to understand, and shook his head: "Food from four seasons is fine, but grains worth ten thousand kilograms are not."
"Because of the seeds?"
Jiang Fan nodded, "If Your Majesty is willing to invest, there will be hope within ten years."
The empress thought for a while: "This matter will be discussed later. Vegetables from all four seasons benefit the country and the people, but this garden seems a bit small."
Jiang Fan smiled: "The main thing is to eat it myself. In addition, I also want to open an experimental field and plant a kind of flower."
Planting flowers? The empress frowned.
Jiang Fan quickly said: "A special kind of flower is not for viewing, but can be made into very warm clothing. Of course, in such a large venue, we can also experiment with other tools."
The empress' expression changed, and she suddenly said: "Okay, I will give it to you. If it is effective, I will reward you heavily."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The grassroots people have sent people to the Western Regions to search for seeds. If nothing unexpected happens, the experiment can start next year."
In full view of everyone, Jiang Fan still thanked the empress sincerely.
After seeing the two people saying some incomprehensible words, the empress actually gave Jiang Fan a forbidden place like Qinglian Garden, which really surprised all the civil and military officials. They became even more curious about Jiang Fan's origin. After all, if someone else made this request
There was no way it would be agreed to, and of course no one would dare to mention it.
The empress said: "You have made a lot of money today, and I want to treat you tonight."
She suddenly said this, and all the civil and military officials were stunned. They had never seen His Majesty like this.
Jiang Fan was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the common people have indeed made a lot of money today, and I should also thank you for your kindness. However, there must be something useful for banquets with officials. Please allow your Majesty three days.
Three days later, in the evening, the common people will host a banquet in a mortal residence to entertain all of you."
The empress said: "Very good." Then she said to the curious officials: "Jiang Fan's cooking is excellent in the world, so I will give you a change of taste."
Although everyone was very puzzled, they also thanked the empress at the same time.
"Get off and go back to the palace."
The Battle of Chibi became popular in Yangdu.
This greatest war of the Three Kingdoms was passed down orally by the Qin people overnight. The beautiful poem about Nujiao Chibi and nostalgia for the past also became popular throughout the city. The story of the Three Kingdoms began to radiate beyond Yangdu.
Of course, what is even more talked about by the public is the fact that the empress brought hundreds of officials to listen to books, which made Mr. Jiang famous in Yangdu. The empress is the trend of the Qin people, and the book she personally brought hundreds of officials to listen to is undoubtedly a masterpiece, "
"Three Kingdoms" is becoming more and more popular.
The matter was also discussed in the court hall the next day.
"Listening to this book makes me feel very excited." Meng Ao stroked his beard to recall the taste.
Xu Fu smiled slightly: "Thanks to the wise old man for giving Jiang Xiaolang a chance, otherwise such a wonderful article may not have come out." What surprised him most was that the storyteller Jiang Yulang turned out to be a comatose person in the Empress's palace. He could.
Sleeping in the Empress's palace, and having His Majesty take care of him in person, the young man was extremely shocked at that time. Now His Majesty listens to books with hundreds of officials, and has many questions and answers that others don't understand. Obviously, Xu Fu has a lot to do with it.
The young man felt more and more mysterious.
Meng Ao waved his hand: "Such a great talent would not be in the dust even if he didn't have me. But I never expected that he would be so ambitious at such a young age. A "Three Kingdoms" is so powerful that it will definitely be famous for generations to come."
A civil servant said: "The Three Kingdoms is a wonderful book in the world, and the old commander has indeed not overrated it. However, I have some doubts. This book is so extraordinary. How could it have been produced without going through great storms and rich experience? Is it possible that there is a great Confucian ghostwriter behind it?"
"
His words raised many people's questions, and for a while the whole court was whispering.
The empress said calmly: "Don't be surprised, his real name is Jiang Fan, Jiang Yulang is just a pseudonym." Very few people knew about this matter. The empress did not say anything, and no one dared to reveal it. I didn't expect her to say it with her own mouth today.
this matter.
"Jiang Fan...Jiang Fan?"
A civil servant's eyes narrowed and he said hesitantly: "I heard that the Magpie Bridge Immortal was once created. When will the water-melody singer's head shine brightly in the moon? The Northern Ci poet of the Linjiang Immortal is Jiang Fan..."
As soon as the words came out, the court was in an uproar. Only Xu Fu and Meng Ao smiled and said nothing.
The empress said: "That's Jiang Fan."
In fact, when they saw that the Three Kingdoms began with Linjiang Immortal, countless people had already suspected it. Now that the empress confirmed it herself, everyone suddenly realized. It turned out that the man who ran away from Penglai Pavilion
The young storyteller in the hall, Jiang Yulang, turned out to be the famous Northern Ci poet, Jiang Fan.
Several masterpieces under his name have long been spread throughout Yangdu. Linjiangxian, Niannujiao, Shuidiao Getou, and Queqiaoxian were praised by literati everywhere, and even traffickers and lackeys would memorize one or two of them.
"It's no wonder. Jiang Fan's literary talent is the highest among contemporary people. Since it was written by him, I'm not surprised."
"What a pity! I didn't know Jiang Cisheng when I was listening to the book yesterday, otherwise I would have asked him to sign his name on my rubbings." A civil servant beat his chest and felt regretful.
"Mr. Zhang, there's no need to be like this. Mr. Jiang won't leave for a while, and it's not too late to ask for poetry some other time."
"It's just that, who would have thought that a dignified poet from the north would actually work as a waiter in Yangdu? I find it unbelievable when you think of it." An official expressed the sentiments of everyone.
Xu Fudao: "It is rumored that the Northern Ci Sage traveled all over the world and once lived in seclusion on the bank of the Canglan River to make a living by fishing. He was by nature indifferent and free and easy, and did not join the world. It is not surprising that he behaves like this." Biquku
"It is rare to be able to transcend others at such a young age."
"I feel that this son has a lot of talent and should serve in the imperial court. The book "Three Kingdoms" shows that he has outstanding strategy. He will definitely become a famous general after a few years in the army."
His words were recognized by most military generals. After all, the political and military strategies in the book Three Kingdoms are indeed wonderful. However, there are also voices of opposition, and this person is very influential.
——Xiao Ren Tu, Gao Rong.
"Literati just talks on paper!"
He has great military exploits and has never been defeated. It is difficult for everyone to refute his statement.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Suddenly the empress said: "In Dingyang City, burn all sixteen thousand barbarians with one fire."
There was an uproar in the court, and a general exclaimed: "So the man who is called the God of Fire in Dingyang is actually Mr. Jiang?"
This matter is not a secret. Someone has already passed the news to Qin State, but for a while no one thought that this Jiang Fan was that Jiang Fan. Indeed, this Jiang Fan gave people the impression that he was a scholar, and that person thought about it
It should have a ferocious look.
"It turns out that the person who mastered the magic flame is this Northern Ci Sage? This scared old man." An old civil servant kept stroking his beard and exclaimed.
Gao Rong hesitated, not expecting the empress to come forward to clear Jiang Fan's name.
The empress continued seemingly casually: "After that, Jiang Fan instigated internal strife among the six tribes of the Ghost Rong, and personally led a thousand Qingqi to go north to the grassland, raiding thousands of miles, slaughtering the five tribes of the Ghost Rong, and finally fought a decisive battle with the big wolf head, killing them, and destroying the Ghost Rong.
