Chapter 499 King Sheng Arrives in Huainan!

After returning to the capital, Ning Fan dived straight into his bedroom. The climate in the capital has now entered early winter. Whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, it is difficult to survive in large-scale planting.

If you build a greenhouse, the cost will probably increase significantly!

However, thinking of the terrifying yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, Ning Fan finally made up his mind!

“What should we replace the plastic film with?”

"It has to have thermal insulation effect, and its light transmittance must also meet the requirements. Is there such a material in this era?"

Ning Fan couldn't help but have a headache. He had read many time-travel novels in his previous life. The protagonist wanted to cultivate seeds and easily built a greenhouse, but the article never detailed the materials used to build it!

You know, Ning Fan was born in a farm family in his previous life, and his family also had a greenhouse. If he wanted to maintain the temperature of a greenhouse, he only needed to light a fire and connect a thick iron pipe to achieve the warmth-keeping effect!

But the plastic film needed to build a greenhouse cannot be manufactured in this era!

"Is it really possible that we have to wait until next spring?"

"That's all, let's make the Quyuanli first!"

Ning Fan pondered for a moment, took out the manufacturing drawings of the curved shaft plow from the system space, examined it carefully, and couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity and exquisiteness of the ancient farming tools!

"This plow is assembled from 11 parts, and the manufacturing process is not difficult!"

"However, it may take some time to promote it!"

After Ning Fan thought for a while, he heard from Lin Yong: "Uncle Lin, send a few craftsmen to build this plow for me before tomorrow morning!"

"yes!"

Lin Yong looked at the sketch in Ning Fan's hand, with a look of surprise on his face: "Second Master, is this a plow?"

"good!"

"Are you preparing..."

"It's nothing. I found that the plow used by Dayu was a bit laborious, so I created this curved shaft plow!"

"Hey, Second Master, are you sure this fancy plow is better than our Dayu's plow?"

"nonsense!"

Ning Fan met Lin Yong's questioning gaze and said angrily: "What do you mean by bells and whistles? Haven't you noticed that this plow is much smaller than the plow passed down by our ancestors?"

"Yes yes yes!"

"What the second master said is true, I admire you!"

"I'm going to do it right now. I'll get this plow out before tonight!"

"etc!"

Seeing Lin Yong about to leave, Ning Fan said softly: "I asked you to transfer the guards from the house, have you ever transferred them?"

"Master, where are you making such a fuss?"

"Those evil spirits in the dark are just worried that they won't find a chance to attack you!"

"The guards in the house have been transferred. Who will protect your safety?"

"Follow the king's instructions!" Ning Fan's tone became unquestionable: "Of course I won't make fun of my life. I must be dismissed before tonight!"

"yes!"

Lin Yong had a look of helplessness on his face and silently exited the lobby!

Ning Fan smelled a strong fishy smell on his body, ordered the maid to prepare hot water, and took a hot bath!

After putting on a neat set of clothes, he took Dian Wei and walked toward the palace!

Now that the farming system has been implemented, the matter of borrowing grain from the imperial court has not yet been discussed with my father!

Moreover, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the candidates for the right minister must be discussed with the emperor first. Although Ning Fan is very sure about this matter, he does not dare to overstep it!



"My son, please see your father!"

"Haha, if you are not busy investigating the case, how come you still have time to see me?"

Emperor Yu didn't even raise his head, he kept waving his wolf hair, reviewing the memorial in his hand, and frowning from time to time!

Ning Fan had long been accustomed to Emperor Yu's attitude. He strode forward, took a lychee from the fruit plate on Emperor Yu's dragon case, put it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "Father, my son

I came here this time to ask for something!"

"oh?"

Emperor Yu looked stunned. He raised his head and saw Ning Fan sitting down unceremoniously on the side. He suddenly said angrily: "Is there anything in this world that you can't do?"

"Hey, Father, there are so many things that I can't do!"

"However, fortunately, I have the solid backing of my father as my son!"

"Stop talking nonsense and talk directly!"

There was also a hint of curiosity in Emperor Yu's eyes. With this boy's current status and power, no matter what he did, it was almost a matter of opening his mouth!

Even the ministers in the court did not dare to touch his troubles, but now he actually came to ask for help!

"Replying to my father, I want to borrow money and food from you!"

"Um?"

Emperor Yu's brows suddenly frowned: "Why, your Prince Xuanyong's Mansion can't have enough food?"

"No!"

Ning Fan shook his head slightly and explained softly: "During this period, I have implemented military training methods in the military camp, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been greatly improved!"

"However, after repeated high-intensity training, the physical fitness of the soldiers cannot keep up, and now the farming system is about to begin again. Therefore, I want to change the food for the 100,000 new troops to three meals a day!"

"What!"

A look of shock appeared on Emperor Yu's face, and he said solemnly: "Do you know what it means for a hundred thousand troops to have one extra meal a day?"

"certainly!"

"My ministers have already thought carefully about it!" Faced with Emperor Yu's question, Ning Fan was already prepared: "First, the farming system can be implemented in our army of Dayu. The soldiers can reclaim wasteland and plant it themselves, and they can get 40% of the income.

harvest!"

"Secondly, my father, if you want to train an invincible iron army, physical fitness is the first factor. Besides, if the soldiers can't even fill their stomachs, how can they achieve the desired training effect?"

"Thirdly, this time I borrowed grain from the imperial court on behalf of the camp in the west of the city. When the spring plowing and autumn harvest next year, I will pay back the original amount with interest!"

After listening to Ning Fan's words, Emperor Yu's expression also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he looked at Ning Fan and said, "I'm sure. However, I heard that there will be a big competition in your army in three months, and I will go there in person.

Look at the training effect!”

"Thank you, Father!"

Ning Fan slightly cupped his hands, watching Emperor Yu turn his attention to the memorial in his hand, and couldn't help but step forward and take a glance.

Emperor Yu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Ning Fan being so bold, but he did not get angry.

"Father, are you ready to appoint a right prime minister?"

"Um!"

Emperor Yu nodded slightly, as if he was quite upset. He glanced at Ning Fan and said, "The position of Right Prime Minister has been vacant for a long time. Now the courtiers are sending memorials every now and then, please appoint me to the position of Right Prime Minister!"

"Looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, most of those who have the qualifications to be prime ministers come from aristocratic families!"

"I don't have a suitable candidate at hand, so those ungrateful beasts actually used the ancestral system to suppress me!"

"Hmph, when things in the Eastern Territory are settled, I will settle the score with them!"

Seeing the angry look on Emperor Yu's face, with a hint of hidden murderous intent in his eyes, Ning Fan said softly: "Father, I would like to recommend a suitable candidate!"

"Um?"

When Emperor Yu heard this, his expression suddenly hardened, his eyes became extremely deep, and he looked at Ning Fan with a look that made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry!

"Is this guy also planning to become the Right Prime Minister?"

"Did I misjudge him?"

"Among the civil and military officials in the court, no one seems to have much interaction with them?"

Emperor Yu's face was as calm as water, and his eyes were as calm as ever, but an imperial power surged invisibly on his body!

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly became much heavier. Ning Fan had a faint smile on his face. He seemed not to be intimidated by Emperor Yu's aura at all and looked directly at him!

Wei Ying on the side buried his head deeply, not daring to take a breath, and looked at the father, son, monarch and minister in front of him!
