Zhao Ji Chuchu said pitifully: "Mom is a little scared."
Zhao Huaizhong said with a smile: "My mother is favored by my father, and she still behaves humanly in broad daylight. Why should she be afraid?"
After being teased by her son, Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Huaizhong, but the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously, showing that she was quite proud of being favored by King Zhuang Xiang and placed in the harem.
"Mom is worried that it won't be safe for you to go out and don't let anyone hurt you again."
Zhao Huaizhong laughed and said: "I have been a hostage in the State of Zhao for several years and know how to take care of myself. My mother can rest assured."
Zhao Ji said sourly: "You don't know how powerful Qinyang Palace is. She is the daughter of a Korean monarch, and the means she can use behind her back are much stronger than your mother's.
My mother tried her best to gain some leverage over her and win your father's heart."
Zhao Huaizhong took his time and said: "My father is not a calculating person and is soft-hearted. My mother wants to be favored all the time. In fact, the method is very simple.
As long as you treat your father sincerely, see through many things without telling them, and no matter what others do, you will pretend that you don't know, and you will assume that you are weak and will be bullied. If you suffer, you will take advantage. My father will always be on your side."
Zhao Huaizhong's words directly pointed to the key points of the palace fight.
Zhao Ji pecked her head, feeling that her son had really grown up, but inexplicably felt a trace of the sadness of an old mother in her heart.
After Zhao Huaizhong finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Mom, you are tired from working so early in the morning. Let's have a good rest." He turned around and left.
He left Xianyang Palace all the way and drove to Xuangu Academy.
After entering the academy, the carriage drove straight into the depths of the academy until it was stopped in front of a courtyard in the deepest part.
"Your Majesty, please stop. This is the residence of Mu Yangjing and his family. When we were invited to Qin, the King of Qin had promised that even the King of Qin could not enter the place where we live without permission."
The person blocking the road was a young woman with an ordinary appearance and a look that was neither humble nor overbearing. She was a servant of the Shennong clan who followed Mu Yangjing.
When it comes to family background, compared with the Shennong clan, Zhao Huaizhong may not necessarily be superior.
He got off the car and said warmly: "Mu, are you here? I have something to ask you." After saying this, he took out the leaves from the gourd vine and handed them over.
The woman reached out and took it, the strange color in her eyes flashed away.
Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs in ancient times and left countless legends.
The Shennong clan has a long heritage and has always been an expert in medicinal herbs and vegetation.
Zhao Huaizhong wanted to find out the origins and cultivation methods of the small gourds, so it was best to ask someone from the Shennong family, so he paid a visit.
The woman entered the quiet courtyard with gourd leaves and soon came out to invite Zhao Huaizhong in.
The courtyard has a quiet environment, the place is not big, and there are only three entrances.
As Zhao Huaizhong walked along, he saw medicinal gardens on both sides of the road. Many plants and trees he knew or didn't recognize were transplanted and planted. Some plants were in full bloom, and the garden was full of fragrant flowers and exotic herbs.
On one of the flower leaves, a small caterpillar with a fat intestine and a round belly was crawling with its waist and hips twisting.
Seeing the flowers and plants in the garden growing well, Zhao Huaizhong suddenly had an idea.
The Shennong clan has been inherited for thousands of years and has been studying it with great concentration since ancient times. Its understanding and familiarity with the habits of plants and trees is unparalleled in the world.
Is it possible to use technology to increase production in this world and free more people from hunger?
Hybrid rice will definitely not work here because the technical barriers are too high, but plant grafting can be tried.
Don’t expect success, but don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
To say the least, even if it fails in the end, there is no loss... The main implementer is not myself, and it will not consume more time.
While Zhao Huaizhong was thinking, he was led into a quiet palace by the woman leading the way.
The woman asked him to wait here, but she turned around and disappeared.
About half a quarter of an hour later, someone walked in. It was the beautiful girl I saw when I came to the academy last time, Jiang Shu, who refused to become the concubine of Zhao Huaizhong.
"Isn't everyone Mu here?" Zhao Huaizhong said calmly.
Looking at her from a close distance, Jiang Ji's eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips are all exquisite, her pupils are dark and expressive, and she looks forward to her posture. Her body is like a young willow in the early stages of her life, slim and graceful. Unfortunately, her chest is only B+, which is a bit regretful.
However, considering my age and the fact that I have not experienced the courtesy of human relations, there is a high probability that I will increase it by at least one size in the future, which is considered perfect.
With a slender waist and long legs, and a moderate height... Zhao Huaizhong quickly completed the task of scanning the QR code to comment.
"Master went out to collect medicine and was not in the city." Jiang Shu said with a serious expression and a cold look on his face.
"Then I won't bother you." Zhao Huaizhong was about to leave.
Jiang Ji took out the leaves of the gourd vine and asked, "Where did you get this leaf?"
"I grew it myself," Zhao Huaizhong said frankly.
"Are you able to grow Jiushan gourds?"
Jiang Shu's big dark eyes closed slightly, expressing her surprise vividly.
"This is called Jiushan Gourd?"
Zhao Huaizhong stopped: "Why is it called this name?"
Jiang Shu pursed her lips and said thoughtfully: "Master is not here, so I am not sure whether the leaves you brought are the leaves of the Jiushan gourd, but they look somewhat similar to those recorded in the scroll."
He added: "Perhaps I made a mistake. Master said that in the current environment, we can no longer grow nine-mountain gourds."
Zhao Huaizhong thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Do you know anything about planting plants?"
Jiang Shu raised his neck and said proudly: "Planting flowers and plants and becoming familiar with their habits and characteristics are abilities that everyone in our Jiang family must master."
The implication is that she is very good at planting flowers and plants?
Zhao Huaizhong decided to try his previous idea: "Do you think it is possible to graft and cultivate plants?"
"Grafting?" Jiang Shu frowned.
She didn't think Zhao Huaizhong could make any achievements in planting, so she stared at Zhao Huaizhong intently, waiting to see what he was going to do.
"Grafting is a method of artificial intervention and propagation of plants. It is to transfer the branches or buds of one plant to the stem or root of another plant, and finally let the two parts connected together grow into one
The whole plant.”
Zhao Huaizhong became the king of theories, but he only knew so much and stopped after speaking.
Jiang Shu struggled to understand what Zhao Huaizhong meant and thought:
"How can two different plants survive when paired together?"
Zhao Huaizhong considered the way of narrating: "The principle of grafting is to use their healing function after being injured."
Jiang Shu couldn't understand, but she felt vaguely that what Zhao Huaizhong said was not unreasonable, and she didn't know how serious it was.
So he continued to ask: "The kind of grafting you are talking about, even if it can be successful, what is the purpose and why do you do it?"
Zhao Huaizhong said: “It is possible to graft low-yielding but satiating plants with high-yielding plants to increase production and relieve hunger.
In other words, only when you are full can you have the strength to work, and having enough food and clothing can strengthen the country and resist foreign invasion."
Jiang Shu was greatly surprised: "Did you come up with these?"
She didn't quite understand the concept of grafting, but Zhao Huaizhong's starting point was so lofty that she really didn't expect it.
