In the private room of Juxianlou.

Lin Yanchao and Mei Kan felt very happy when they spoke. Both of them were people who put interests first and efficiency first. In other words, they had a relatively consistent viewpoint.

Lin Yanchao asked, "I wonder what other plans are there for Brother Mei to go to Beijing this time besides collecting the accounts?"

Mei Kan said: "I can't always work as an apartment in Yangzhou when I go to Beijing to open a money shop."

When Lin Yanchao heard the money shop, he thought a little and smiled and said, "I wonder if Brother Mei needs Lin's help?"

Mei Kan smiled and said, "That's certain. After entering Beijing, there are still many places that rely on bachelors. Of course, if the bachelors need help from our Mei family, we have ordered that Mei may not be able to help with anything else, but the money has never been lacking."

Lin Yanchao nodded slowly, Mei Kan's words were similar to "I am poor and only money left."

A few days later, Mei Kan personally brought his two sons to Lin Yanchao's mansion.

Lin Yanchao knew that Mei Kan was really not talking casually. Mei Kan asked her two sons to worship Lin Yanchao as her teacher and gave the ceremony of apprenticeship.

Lin Yanchao saw Mei Kan’s apprenticeship ceremony.

Tsk tsk tsk!

A village in Zhending Mansion.

This village is not far from Baoding Prefecture, with thousands of acres of land nearby, and a mountain forest is surrounded by a villa in the mountains and forests to help you escape the summer heat.

The heads of Tianzhuang came with Mei Kan. When they saw Lin Yanchao, they kowtowed and performed the ceremony of master and servant.

There are also hundreds of farmers, wives, and servants in the farm, and their sales contracts are also brought together.

Faced with the Mei family's kindness, what else can Lin Yanchao say? Just use this example.

With this farm, Lin Yanchao immediately called Chen Zhenlong.

Lin Yanchao had previously instructed him to recruit skilled old farmers from his hometown, who had helped the Chen family grow sweet potatoes before.

When I heard that I was coming to the capital, most of these old farmers were unwilling to go, but Lin Yanchao gave a high salary. With a large sum of money, he recruited more than 20 people to the capital, and Lin Yanchao asked Chen Xinggui and others to recruit farmers who were skilled in crop affairs from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to the capital.

According to the complete book on Agricultural Affairs in my memory, Lin Yanchao taught Chen Zhenlong how to preserve potato seeds and vines.

After discussing with the experienced old farmer Lin Yanchao, Chen Zhenlong and Lin Yanchao decided to dig deep cellars to keep the potato seeds and vines for the winter.

It was September. After preparing for it, they decided to start trial planting sweet potatoes in the north the following year.

Once the trial plant is successful, it will be promoted in various parts of Gyeonggi.

Lin Yanchao is very concerned about this matter, which is related to his future and Xu Zhenming's future.

After listening to Lin Yanchao's order, Xu Zhenming wrote a memorial to the emperor. The memorial to apologize was to voluntarily admit his guilt, saying that he was not careful in thinking and developed water conservancy, which instead changed the direction of the river and aroused the opinions of the "people".

So he decided to change the construction of water conservancy, instead of reclaiming dry land, recruiting experienced southern farmers in the north, trying to plant dryland crops such as dry rice and potatoes, and then promoting them to the public after gaining some experience.

This letter almost completely copied Lin Yanchao's intention to apologize, and was finally forgiven by the emperor.

Without Zhang Jing's obstruction, the cabinet headed by Shen Shi immediately proposed to remove Xu Zhenming and Shang Bao Siqing from his position, restore the official position of military farming censor, and continue to be responsible for military farming in the capital.

In this way, Xu Zhenming made meritorious contributions, but after the failure of the major policy of water conservancy construction, it aroused his determination to achieve success.

Xu Zhenming is now running to Lin Yanchao's home every few days to study and discuss how to cultivate dry land in the capital.

But it was said that Lin Yanchao was in the capital to settle down.

In the inner school of the Forbidden City, the emperor was riding a horse and whipping it.

The emperor is twenty-five or six years old this year. Although he is a little fat, he is very agile when galloping on the horse's back.

When Zhang Jing saw the emperor galloping on his horse, he often praised the emperor's riding skills with the little eunuchs beside him. Instead, Zhang Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, looked worried.

Soon the emperor jumped off the horse and smiled with Zhang Hong and Zhang Jing and said, "Two companions, how do you think of my riding skills?"

Before Zhang Hong could speak, Zhang Jing rushed to say, "Your Majesty, you are really wise and powerful. This Qianli Horse that was tributed by Tulupan entered Shanglinyuan. No one could submit it. Only when you came to His Majesty, you can be called the winner of the Godly Horse. Your Majesty asked him to go in front of him, and Your Majesty asked him to come in behind him, and that was obedient. From this we can see that the Qianli Horse also knew the power of heaven."

The emperor laughed when he heard this, then looked at Zhang Hong and asked, "Panpa Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Hong said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, the words of the inner minister may make Your Majesty unhappy."

The emperor said, "Panpa Zhang, it's okay to say anything bluntly."

Zhang Hong said: "The old minister was frightened just now. Although Your Majesty is great in riding skills, Your Majesty is a body of gold. If the horse fails, the consequences will be unimaginable."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "This pedantic view is that the Emperor Tang and Emperor Song, and the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty Chengzu, were all the people on horseback and won the world? Why did no one worry about them falling off the horseback when they rode their horses?"

"I have been growing up in the deep palace since I was young, and I wish I could not follow Taizu Chengzu and use martial arts to pacify the world. Is it impossible to ride a horse? You can persuade this and that, and you can't do this, and that, it's so boring."

Zhang Hong said: "Your Majesty, the world is peaceful at the moment, and civil governance should be the first priority, and martial arts are the second priority. The inner minister dared not stop Your Majesty from riding a horse, but just asked Your Majesty to be careful..."

"Why are you careful?"

Zhang Hong said: "...Be careful of the lessons of Wuzong."

Hearing this, the faces of the internal prisoners changed. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Zhengde. He fell into the water and died when he was struggling. Didn’t Zhang Hong mention this violate the taboo of the emperor?

Zhang Jing's face was filled with joy.

But seeing the emperor snorting heavily, Zhang Hong knelt down, took off his crown and was on the ground, showing his white hair and said, "Your Majesty, I have made a mistake. I am guilty of death. I know I am old and I am willing to go to Nanjing to guard the tomb of Taizu, and I will live in vain."

The emperor's face changed drastically, and he left without saying a word. At that moment, the eunuchs quickly followed the emperor's footsteps, leaving only the kneeling Zhang Hong in the schoolyard.

A wind blew on the school ground, and the yellow sand hit Zhang Hong's face. Zhang Hong knelt on the school ground, motionless.

But the emperor returned to Hongde Hall, changed into military uniforms and put on a green dragon robe.

Seeing that the emperor was still angry, Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Long live the godfather is old and is already a confused insect. Don't take his words to heart."

The emperor glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "Your godfather is really confused. He has repeatedly contradicted me over the years."

Zhang Jing said: "Long live if you are really upset with your godfather, it is better to put your godfather in a free position. After all, your godfather is old, and putting a free position is also a good life for him to support him. It is also a grace for the heavenly family to live up to this life."

At this time, the emperor's anger had disappeared for most of the time and said, "Although what your godfather said is unpleasant, it may not be unreasonable. Although what you said is to understand my thoughts everywhere, how much is true?"

Zhang Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Zhang Jing, since the first day of Zhangdong Factory, those words that are not conducive to you will naturally reach my ears."

"I understand some things in my heart, but I don't know them on my face, or I don't want to know them. I'm afraid that if I pursue them to the end, I will not be able to bear it and not remember my old love for many years. So Zhang Jing, you have the ability, continue to hide them from me and don't let me know for a day, otherwise once the matter is on the verge of the table, I will deal with you by myself."

When Zhang Jing walked out of Hongde Hall, his head was covered in sweat.

Zhang Jing returned to the inner palace and asked his confidants Xiao Yu, Wang Zhong, Zhang Shen and others to find solutions.

Xiao Yu said: "Godfather, my son thought Your Majesty was just suspicious and had no evidence. Your Majesty still trusted his Godfather in his heart."

"Nonsense, I asked you to discuss countermeasures, not to ask you to understand His Majesty's thoughts."

Wang Zhong said: "Godfather, my son thought that his godfather could have received his favor from His Majesty, so he was 'tolerate his preferences'. Today we will continue to do it. Now that His Majesty is pampering Concubine Zheng, we are focused on making friends with Concubine Zheng. For example, Concubine Zheng’s brother Zheng Guotai. Why don’t we want to find something to do? We can find him for his errands in the Jinyiwei."

Zhang Jing pointed at Wang Zhong and said, "You are smart, you still have a way!"

Xiao Yu was unwilling to fall behind and said, "Godfather, my son found more than a dozen beauties in the capital yesterday. He can serve His Majesty's daily life in the Qianqing Palace, and His Majesty will definitely like it."

Zhang Jing's eyes lit up and said, "Well, the beauty has been kind. When His Majesty has fun, this matter will be over. You must pay attention to the matter of choosing a beauty."

Zhang Jing said to Zhang Shen: "Where did you talk about the Western Regions monks and Taoists you made friends with in Beijing?"

When Zhang Shen saw that he finally had his own words, he immediately expressed his feelings: "When he said goodbye, my son has tried his best. It took a lot of effort to get the secret medicine from the monks of the Western Regions. My son has tried it with several people. He can't help but take the prescriptions prescribed by the Taoist priests in advance, and it's even more fun!"

Zhang Jing laughed and said, "Okay, okay, as long as Your Majesty is happy, those unhappiness will disappear. Remember, as long as you have your godfather, you will have your wealth."

The three of them all said yes.

Three days later.

Wenhua Palace Sutra.

Early in the morning that day, Lin Yanchao and all officials arrived outside Wenhua Hall, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Lin Yanchao now has no job as a lecturer in the imperial lecture, but when he encounters an imperial lecture, he also has to serve.

Not only Lin Yanchao, but also the ministers. Since the ceremony was decided, this has become a rule. Ministers must be at the ceremony regardless of weather or rain, and the emperor should be in a state of storm.

As the chief minister, Shen Shixing was also an official in the imperial examination. He was so old that it was just before dawn. However, the officials waited in the autumn wind for almost an hour, but the emperor's imperial guards had not arrived for a long time. Such a thing has never happened before.

Several ministers were a little uneasy. Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, asked Shen Shixing: "Your Majesty has not arrived for a long time, which is very strange. Did Yuan Fu send someone to ask about the news?"

At this moment, the eunuch Zhang Cheng hurried over and saw Shen Shixing and said, "Your Majesty has ordered you to exempt you from today's sutra."

Shen Shixing and others were all surprised. Can such a major event as a lecture can be avoided?

"Somehow?"

Zhang Cheng said calmly: "Your Majesty was dizzy and dark, and his strength was not strong. It was because the dragon's body was not safe."
