For several days, Ye Chunqiu stayed in the research institute and began to grow seedlings.

There are many seeds here, but apart from those crops with extremely strong vitality, everything else depends on luck.

After hiring a few assistants, Ye Chunqiu carefully cared for these crops according to the method of seedling cultivation in later generations, and then asked the people from the agricultural institute to take different soils to cultivate the seedlings in the greenhouse.

After a few days of hard work, a total of eight crops and plants had been buried. This made Ye Chunqiu feel relieved. After all, it was bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver. One of them died. As for potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, it seemed to be quite stable. Next, I tried my best to cultivate good seeds and then start promoting them. In time, as long as it can be promoted, as Ye Chunqiu promised Zhu Houzhao, his economic foundation and lifestyle might undergo earth-shaking changes.

He took a break from his busy schedule and had to be with Jingchu when he returned home. Jingchu felt the smell of Ye Chunqiu, but said, "But don't let the eldest father know. If the eldest father knows, he will definitely say that the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall, and the dignified Duke will also dig the ground..."

Ye Chunqiu went to take a bath and changed into clean clothes.

After the seedling cultivation, the rest can be handed over to the people of the Agricultural and Forestry Institute to do. They have accumulated some experience in cultivating flowers and other crops. Ye Chunqiu also specially compiled an introductory book about agriculture for them. Although this is the most obvious knowledge in later generations, in this era, it is completely enough to be the industry leader in the world, and it has beaten foreign countries for a hundred years.

But then again, the agricultural technology and level of Daming itself are ahead of his peers.

Ye Chunqiu won’t pull out seedlings to help grow, and to create deeper agricultural and forestry knowledge is nothing more than just inspiration.

Now as the Duke of Zhenguo, Zhenguo Mansion has become Ye Chunqiu's territory. Although Ye Chunqiu has only classified various disciplines in general, and the research institute is just a few directions of agriculture, forestry, smelting, chemical industry and machinery. However, these things complement each other and are indispensable. If agriculture cannot develop greatly, then the smelting of steel will be difficult and the manpower in the countryside will be difficult to liberate. Could it be that the belt is tightened to make steel and iron? The prosperity of steel can support the subsequent mechanical manufacturing, mechanical manufacturing and chemical industry, and can be fed back to agriculture. This is a circular development.

Of course, it is still too far to think about this now. As the helmsman of Zhenguo Mansion, Ye Chunqiu still has to focus on the present moment. For example, Liu Jin and Liu Yu have now become his own stumbling block.

These two people were making trouble, obviously trying to make trouble on the new army in Zhenguo.

Ye Chunqiu was at the Duke of Zhenguo and the Ye family. He had already begun to deliberately move the Ye family to Zhenguo Mansion. However, Zhenguo Mansion only had one office place. If you want to accommodate female family members, you had to build a garden behind Zhenguo Mansion. The area did not have to be too large, and there was only dozens of acres of land. Since Zhenguo Mansion changed to a more practical style, buildings near Zhenguo Mansion have also followed suit. On the one hand, it was because of the tight land use, and it was necessary to tend to be practical. On the other hand, it was also the meaning of keeping up with the trend.

So Ye Chunqiu decided to plan the Ye family's garden well and set an example in the future. After several modifications of the design drawings, he invited craftsmen to discuss, such as the large-scale use of cement and ceramic tiles, such as some styles that simplify traditional Chinese styles, etc.

A few days later, Zhu Houzhao summoned Ye Chunqiu to the palace. When Ye Chunqiu arrived at the warm pavilion, he saw Zhu Houzhao looking energetic.

Zhu Houzhao said to Ye Chunqiu: "In the past two days, several uncles Wang are going to arrive in Beijing, and I am not free either. Fortunately, I have been idle for two days now. Why, what are you doing recently?"

His nose was sensitive, and when he said this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Well? How could it smell like earthy?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "My name..."

"Forget it." Before Ye Chunqiu could say it, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said indifferently: "I just said it casually!" Then he showed a little proud look, and then said: "Ha, you have to thank me. Didn't you say that the land used by Zhenguo Mansion a few days ago? Look at me, I always care about your affairs. Your Zhenguo Mansion is going east, Tongzhou, and there are lands in a radius of dozens of miles. Among them, in addition to my imperial village, it is Duke of Wei, and there are lands in a few families. I personally talked with the Duke of Wei, and he is willing to take out the land. Well... roughly... You asked the Zhenguo Mansion to give him some money to buy land. This land is your Zhenguo Mansion, which is a land of more than ten miles. Look, how do I treat you?"

In fact, Zhenguo Mansion has always been facing a tight land use situation, and many places cannot be used. Now that he heard that Zhu Houzhao solved the problem of land use for Zhenguo Mansion, Ye Chunqiu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he wanted to relocate the new army of Zhenguo to Zhenguo Mansion. Due to the expansion of the urban area, some basic facilities must be built, not to mention that with the incoming supply of goods produced by some workshops, the near Zhenguo Mansion was worth every inch of land. Many craftsmen and apprentices were unable to stay in Zhenguo Mansion at all, and they had to live in the capital. They spent most of their time walking to work, accommodation, shops, and workshops. Land was needed everywhere. The original Zhenguo Mansion was very small, but only a radius of one mile. Now, Zhu Houzhao was generous and with a big stroke, he solved the most important problem of Zhenguo Mansion at once.

Thinking of this, why did Ye Chunqiu feel no gratitude to Zhu Houzhao? It just seemed that he had no thanks to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao was the emperor, at least in terms of material things, Zhu Houzhao had nothing to lack!

Ye Chunqiu breathed a long sigh and said sincerely: "Thank you Your Majesty."

Sometimes, thanks to such things can only be understood but not expressed in words!

"No need to thank me." Zhu Houzhao was very modest, and then said, "I was just joking with you just now. In fact, although I have put in my efforts, the one who has made the most efforts is Liu Baobao."

Ye Chunqiu smiled, but was not surprised.

It turned out to be Liu Jin, this guy is really... not lonely at all.

But then again, Ye Chunqiu had already figured out Liu Jin's path. This guy was obviously... he was trying to kill him.

Think about it, the Zhenguo Mansion not only controls the Zhenguo New Army, but also has such a great source of wealth, which has already made some people afraid of, but Ye Chunqiu, the front foot, was awarded the title, and His Majesty the rear foot, gave him a disciple of more than ten miles. Although these lands are just some farms, it is really nothing to the court or palace, and even the Wei Duke Mansion, which has a great cause, how can you not be afraid of such kindness and courtesy?
