In this era of relatively backward productivity, a large number of people are less sluggish in agriculture and commerce, which is indeed very prone to problems.

Before new production tools and agricultural technologies emerge, any way to attract farmers from the land could lead to a catastrophe.

The only thing Qin Shaoyou can do is to alleviate this situation. To alleviate it, the only way is to use animal power instead of human power.

It was indeed quite difficult to realize this idea. Fortunately, his trump card was cows and horses. These cows and horses were all products he exchanged for worthless tea and was painstakingly managed by Wolf Basin. Now, although Qin Shaoyou is doing a profitable business in tea, he can almost only recover the cost in cows and horses.

But... although this is a helpless choice, it is inevitable. To increase productivity and increase grain output, it must go through a long process. Now we are using agriculture to nurture industry and commerce, and sooner or later we will use industry and commerce to feed agriculture.

Of course, Wu Zetian was an outsider. She was not familiar with this trick, but she only had a slight understanding of it. However, her mind was obviously not on this. She cared about Qin Shaoyou because of her relatives' contact and she still needed to rely on Qin Shaoyou in the future.

Qin Shaoyou's actions really opened her eyes. In just a few months, she connected the Shence Mansion with the Kanto Aristocratic tribes, forming an offensive and defensive alliance. Invisibly, the status of the Shence Mansion has become even more undeniable.

Wu Zetian seemed satisfied with this. She smiled and said, "I am different from the matter of cows and horses. But it's not wrong. What I heard about is that my brothers are very close to Wei. Do you know these things?"

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were indeed in great relationship with Wei, and Wu Sansi even went to and from the palace every now and then. He did not go to Wu Zetian, but to please Wei.

This made Wu Zetian very angry. The world was in a cold state. Do the Wu brothers really think they had fallen?

On the contrary, Qin Shaoyou, although he was in Mengjin, finally came to the palace, but he still knew that he would come to meet him. Qin Shaoyou and his brothers were a verdict.

Qin Shaoyou said: "I have heard of some, and Wei seems to trust them very much."

Wu Zetian sneered: "I see, this is not a trustworthy person. It is obvious that these incompetent things have been flattered. Haha... This is probably the case in the world. It is said that no one is good for a hundred days, no flowers are red, and I am not dead yet."

She said a few angry words and showed complete disappointment with the Wu family. Without her "sacrifice", there would not be the Wu family today, but what she got was full of anger.

After looking at Qin Shaoyou, Wu Zetian's face calmed down. She said, "You are different from them. You value love more than them. Actually, I haven't seen through them. But I still inevitably value this love. But... it's okay, you are born in Mengjin. Do your business obediently. Qin Shaoyou, do you understand what I mean?"

Looking at Wu Zetian looking at him earnestly, Qin Shaoyou knew what this meant. Wu Zetian was waiting for an opportunity. Once this opportunity came, someone must stand firmly by her side. This person... could no longer be a brother of the Wu family, only Qin Shaoyou.

If it were the past, Qin Shaoyou might have been shaken, but after the new army ascended the throne, various measures and the gradual growth of Wei's clan, Qin Shaoyou just smiled bitterly in his heart, because he understood that he had no choice. Perhaps from the beginning, Wu Zetian had expected that he would not be in the same circle with Wei's clan, so he took a step back with confidence and waited for the opportunity. Qin Shaoyou was the same. Today's emperor Li Xian, Qin Shaoyou regarded him as his best friend from the bottom of his heart, but so what? Li Xian was not a good emperor, and the only real emperor in the end was Wei's clan.

All the signs now have almost revealed this sign.

So Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "I... obey the order."

Huh... Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief. She saw Qin Shaoyou's sincerity. Although she didn't believe that Qin Shaoyou was a person who was willing to devote himself to him, at least for this time, he did not make a falsification.

Wu Zetian sat down slowly and squinted: "Go, what's going on in the future? I'll report it to me after Shangguan Kaizhao. I'll take a good rest."

Qin Shaoyou said goodbye and left. Shangguan Wan'er kept listening at the door of the hall. When he saw Qin Shaoyou coming out, he looked at Qin Shaoyou and smiled at him, and said, "Your Majesty values ​​you very much."

Qin Shaoyou replied: "Shangguan is the one who takes care of him."

Hurry out of the palace.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After coming out of Luoyang Palace and wandering around Luoyang City, Qin Shaoyou seemed to have a dream.

At first, when he was in Luoyang, he felt that Luoyang was extremely lively, especially during some temple fairs and festivals. The feeling of crowds was no less than that of later generations.

But gradually, after staying in Mengjin for a long time, he felt that Luoyang was deserted. This kind of desertedness was in contrast to Mengjin. Mengjin's pattern may be less than Luoyang, but the noisy feeling of the world being bustling for profit is far from comparable to Luoyang. Before he knew it, Luoyang's prosperity had become mediocre. Although Shence City did not have magnificent buildings or the towering pagoda, that atmosphere only made Qin Shaoyou feel a little disgusted with Luoyang.

However, Luoyang is still coming. After all, this is the center of the world, especially those high-gate mansions, one after another, with no end to see at a glance.

Zhulou is not far from Luoyang Palace, close to the North Yai. Qin Shaoyou took a few guards and rode his horse here. Because it was tens of noon, the nobles and nobles in Luoyang City all played at night, but during the day, it seemed deserted.

When he heard that it was Prince Hongnong, the disciple did not dare to neglect it, so he hurried in to report.

Not long after, Shangguan Chen, who was yawning, came out. He didn't go to bed last night. He was noon last night, but he was called up. He also heard that Qin Shaoyou was coming, so he didn't dare to neglect. This is his parents who are fed and clothed. No one can offend Qin Shaoyou if he neglected.

"Ha ha……"

When old friends met again, Qin Shaoyou saw that Shangguan Chen had gained a little weight and became much more unlucky. When they met, they did not greet each other and hugged him directly: "Your Highness, you have been looking forward to you, but you always refuse. I finally came today. I will teach me how to wait."

Such intimate words, he said them from his mouth, were like eating. Qin Shaoyou even suspected that this guy would say such words to everyone.

Qin Shaoyou couldn't bear his enthusiasm and said, "Let's go in and say it first."

So Shangguan Chen led Qin Shaoyou in. All along the way were carved beams and painted buildings. This house cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. The price in Luoyang is no longer a small amount of money. Moreover, it cost tens of thousands of dollars to be renovated. It was simply piled up with gold. The decoration inside was different from the mansions of other families. It was as heavy as the mansions of other families. It was solemn, magnificent and unique. Compared with this place, Qin Shaoyou lived, it was like the difference between a rich man and a poor man.

This made Qin Shaoyou complain in his heart that he had worked hard and was considered frugal, but he was ruined by this guy.

Fortunately, this mood was quickly wiped out. After all, Shangguan Chen was "responsible" and "ordered to have fun". The more he played, the more beneficial it would be to Qin Shaoyou. This place was equivalent to the Shence Mansion's stationed in Luoyang, while Shangguan Chen was responsible for making friends with all kinds of people and providing various information, which was of extraordinary significance.

Shangguan Chen invited Qin Shao to the inner hall, and he showed off: "There are nine halls here, each with a unique flavor. Your Highness, this is Jiannan Hall. Look, the calligraphy and paintings here are all written by famous artists from Jiannan. Fengge also originated from Jiannan. All the utensils are purchased from Jiannan. Ha... I will sit down first. Your Highness, the lower official is very hard here. People are like this. They all see others good, but they don't know the bitterness. In the past few months, the lower official has negotiated with people of all kinds every day, and sometimes they are really crying."

"..." Qin Shaoyou had the urge to pat him to death. He even suspected that if it weren't for Shangguan Wan'er, he would have taken action.

Seeing Qin Shaoyou's expression cold, Shangguan Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Give tea first, serve tea, don't drink. I know you don't like drinking either, um... Come on tea."

A beautiful maid came in and prepared tea. He poured it one by one. Shangguan Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the beautiful maid's su chest. He finally withdrew his eyes and laughed, "Ha... I'm not doing anything lately. Your Highness, why do you have free time today?"

Qin Shaoyou slowly drank a sip of tea and said, "I went to the palace to meet the emperor."

Speaking of the emperor, Shangguan Chen was a little more serious: "I don't know how Li Xian lived in the palace. This guy... should be happier than me. He has three thousand beauties."

Qin Shaoyou smiled, "But there is a fierce wife at home."

"Ah..." Shangguan Chen made a sound in surprise. Anyway, he was his own person and he didn't care about speaking. The fierce wife Qin Shaoyou mentioned certainly refers to Wei. Shangguan Chen couldn't help but smile proudly: "No, good, very reasonable, so be careful when marrying a wife. I have already planned to never marry in this life. It's amazing to just live in drunkenness and die in a dream."
