Group pet small koi: take Wang's family to farm and become the richest man

Chapter 265 Entering the Imperial Palace Second
"But." Chang Ping wanted to refute.

Of course Chang Xi knew what the eldest brother wanted to express, and she took over.

After a lot of effort, the watermelon was sold at a low price, not as profitable as before, right? "

"You are worried about flowers

"But, you may think it's simple!"

Chang Xi feels that even though watermelon rots in farmers' fields in later generations, its performance in the market is still outstanding.

"We sell cold drinks, watermelon pastries, and watermelon candies. Isn't this more attractive than watermelon itself?"

"If those people think that growing watermelons is good, they will hire a large number of melon farmers. Isn't this indirect, so many people have something to do?"

"If you want to earn money, everyone must earn it together. It is not always possible for the rich to make a lot of money and leave the poor far behind."

"What I want is for everyone to be prosperous together."

"Okay, let's get rich together!" Chang Xi said passionately, and the first person to applaud was Cao Wu who appeared from the night.

"Master!"

The four children were so excited that they stepped forward and surrounded Master.

Cao Wu praised Chang Xi unabashedly: "Although you are a woman, you are more responsible than ordinary men."

"I think that in the imperial court, there are few civil officials like you who are willing to help the common people think about it and do practical things to benefit the common people."

"I approve of your idea a hundred times."

Although Chang Ping was still hesitant, he looked left and right to see everyone's reactions, and finally asked listlessly.

"Don't you all dislike yourself for earning less?"

"Our family only has three acres of melon fields. Rich people have money and can buy as many melon fields as they want. Our family can't afford it. Aren't you afraid that in the end, the effort will be thankless?"

Chang Ping's last question was actually a question that Chang Sanshi and his wife were thinking about in silence.

Chang Xi also thought about this question, and she gave her own answer.

"Brother, do you think Mr. Min is rich?"

"Is there anyone in the world richer than his family?"

"Wealth is getting more and more. It may be the savings of several generations. There is no comparison at all, and we can't compare with others."

"However, no one wants too much money, but how much is enough to be satisfied?"

"Some people think that if the family is full, the money is enough."

"Some people think gold and silver are enough."

"But in the world, the most people are ordinary people. If everyone can earn something, life will be prosperous. Let's let the watermelon develop. I believe it will be a way out."

"It is not only the livelihood of our family, but also the livelihood of thousands of people."

"That's great!" Chang Le took the lead in applauding this time.

"Father and mother, let's listen to the third sister. I think the third sister has a special idea."

Everyone reached an agreement again, Chang Ping looked at Xi Bao lovingly, and did not refute a word.

That's how things are finalized, and everyone doesn't have to worry about it.

The tender watermelon has gradually developed patterns from the state of fur, until it grows and becomes round. Chang Xi's smile never falls every day.

Growing melons in the north is more expensive. When the first batch of watermelons came out of the field, the whole family was there, and the three-acre melon field was green.

She reached out and tapped on the watermelon, judging whether it was ripe before picking it.

The home-made melons are bright red in color and crunchy when cut open. The sweetness is not like a bag of water in the south, but it is enough to quench thirst and heat. People who have eaten it say that it is the best local melon.

This made Chang Xi's confidence soar, and immediately sent a car to Cao Jingxiu.

Send one car to Cao's restaurant, and the rest will be shipped directly to the Imperial College for a cent.

The watermelons in their family are like sending out for free, not to gain a good reputation, but to tell everyone that the special products in the south can live in the north.

The people in the Imperial College knew about it, and word of mouth inevitably spread the matter.

The next day, officials from the Agricultural Department made a special trip to the Imperial College to look for him.

The official came to ask for advice on planting, Chang Xi did not expect such a big response.

This matter will be submitted to the emperor, she said it very seriously.

The staff from the Agricultural Department did not bother her again, nor did she deliberately inquire.

It's just a handwritten copy, and people will send the seeds and other things back to Liaocheng, Taihang Village.She wants the folks in the village to plant and try new ones together.

There are Maodan, Caitou, Fuzi and others in the village who can read and write, but she is not worried that no one will read her handwriting.

Officials from the Agricultural Department came to the door again, and it was the last court meeting years ago.

Chang Xi was told that he was going to enter the palace again, and the emperor summoned him.

She was wearing a thick jacket, and asked a little awkwardly.

"Only myself?"

"Yes." Hearing the reply, the other three brothers were stunned.

"Xibao is a girl, without us by my side, can this work?"

The three brothers were worried about Zhong Zhong, but they were not allowed to be summoned, and they had no way to enter the palace.

At this time Min Wanhua stood up: "Or I will accompany you into the palace, you wait for me for a while, as long as I hand over a note, the empress in the palace will announce me to enter the palace."

He had a way to get into the palace in a detour. Compared with the three brothers who were worried outside, it was the best way to be accompanied by Min Wanhua, and no one else objected.

The officials couldn't wait, so Chang Xi hurriedly followed.

This time, she entered the palace gate alone, full of anxiety, because the officials were tight-lipped about what she said, and they just didn't reveal anything.

She anxiously came to the door of the imperial study and waited.

She couldn't hear any sound inside, but the outside was tightly guarded, and she was stared at by eunuchs, so she was sure there must be someone inside.

After standing for a quarter of an hour, the door finally opened and let her in.

Chang Xi bowed and bowed, the emperor's steady voice came from a distance.

"Little girl, why do you think of growing watermelons in the north?"

Chang Xi didn't dare to raise her eyes, she maintained a submissive attitude to answer.

"Because food is the most important thing for the people, and people live their whole lives, and the last thing they can do is to treat their mouths badly. Women of the people have no big ambitions, only longing for food."

"So what the women do is to satisfy their appetites."

If you want to talk about great principles, no one in the world can talk about the Son of Heaven.

She figured it out at the door, and attributed her thoughts to eating.It seemed that she had no ambition, only a childlike innocence.

Regardless of whether the emperor is happy with her outstanding deeds, he will not be wary of childlike innocence.

After waiting for a while, the emperor said: "Get up and answer."

Chang Xi felt that she had escaped a catastrophe, so she hurriedly got up and stood up straight.

"Your watermelon has grown, what are your plans for the future?"

The emperor's question was very simple and broad. If she answered wrongly or did not satisfy the emperor, she would worry again.

So Chang Xi thought for a while before replying: "Minnv hasn't figured it out yet."

"It may be sold to the common people to satisfy their greed, or it may be given to everyone to eat."

"You don't know, many people in the north have never seen watermelons."

"If everyone sees it and opens their eyes, it will be considered a merit."

"Isn't life all about eating, drinking, and sleeping?"

Chang Xi's last sentence was too vulgar, and everyone in the imperial study frowned.

Maybe it was because he had never heard foul language, but the emperor also made a sinister statement.

Chang Xi was taught by the old eunuch beside him: "Bold! How dare you speak obscene words in front of the emperor?"

Chang Xi knelt down and kowtowed neatly: "The daughter of the people is ashamed."
