When Bian Jingyu was studying in retreat, the news outside was also changing rapidly.

The comic strips they made before with Shen Yi as the prototype and the main line of finding corn have been sent to the palace, and Bian Jingyu is only responsible for producing the comic strips, and there are no unnecessary actions.Therefore, for a long time, the comic books were only the exclusive reading material for the eleventh princess and the fourteenth prince.Of course, because the emperor once mentioned it, every comic book will go through the emperor's hands before being delivered to the concubine Shun.

The emperor read "Xun Liang Ji" but didn't say anything, which shows that its content has passed the test with the emperor.

Bian Jingyu actually wanted to spread "Xunliang Ji" to the people.However, he and Shen Yi are considered to be a community of interests. If he does this kind of thing, he will inevitably feel disgusted by taking the opportunity to invite fame.When he made the comic strips, he played the banner of making fun for the fourteenth prince. It can be said that he has no selfish intentions, but if "Looking for Grain" spread quickly among the people through his hands, it would be full. Everything is selfish!

This matter cannot be done by the Bian family and the Shen family, so we need to find someone who can do it.Concubine Shun pushed her hand calmly in the dark.

Although Concubine Shun has always been honest and respectful, she is not really timid, but because she obeys the rules and does not have too much ambition.In fact, she had to be a smart person, so she could see through the situation in the harem and choose the safest path for herself and her daughter.

Concubine Shun has some tricks, and has gathered some confidantes over the years, so it's easy to get things done.

The older princes have left the palace to build mansions one after another, and have also been conferred titles.The eldest prince named King Qing.Prince Qing's eldest son and the fourteenth prince are about the same age, because the grandson and the princes were enlightened together, the eldest son and the fourteenth prince study together every day.One day, the fourteenth prince took the comics to the study room, and was seen by the eldest son of Prince Qing. He couldn't bear it and took the book to read. The eunuch who served smiled flatteringly, saying that such a good story should be known to the world.

The eldest son of the concubine took "Xunliangji" back to the palace in his pocket and handed it over to King Qing.

King Qing saw that this was a good opportunity to flatter his own parents!

The content of "Looking for Grain" is also well designed. Although the rest of the story is about how Shen Yi obtained corn seeds through 81, the fairy conference at the beginning has already established the tone of the whole story.When this story is spread, it must be the name of Emperor Xianwu who is promoted first.

In this way, Prince Qing's Mansion popularized "Looking for Grain".

The printing technology at this time was not particularly advanced, and there were many patterns on the comic strips, and it was time-consuming and laborious to imprint the patterns.Therefore, the way of promotion is not comics, but storytelling.When the storyteller sat in a restaurant or a tea stand, the whole story was told in a tactful way, and everyone applauded.

The more scarce the entertainment life of the common people, the more popular the appearance of "Xunliang Ji" will be.When a storyteller is telling a book at an open-air tea stand, he will immediately be surrounded by people listening to the book.Those who have money spend a lot of money to buy a pot of tea and sit and listen. Those who have no money move a small bench to sit and listen, and some people stand and listen.Because there are too many people standing, some people can't squeeze in front, so they can only climb trees.

"Looking for Grain" spread rapidly.

At the same time, news came from the Wanjin Trading Company that they really found another edible food that came from outside the story.If Shen Yi could see the real thing, he would definitely be able to name it, it was a tomato.However, people at this time do not call it a tomato, but call it Ruyiguo.Ruoyi fruit has not just been introduced to China. In fact, some wealthy people already have potted plants of Ruoyi fruit in their homes.

Tomatoes grow round and red.People don't use it as food, but as an ornamental plant.

Everyone has naturally developed the ornamental use of Ruyi fruit.Because a ripe tomato looks so festive and pleasing to the nobles, it becomes an expensive potted plant that no one ever tries to eat.Because its color is so bright, some people even subconsciously think it is poisonous.When the guys from Wanjin Commercial Company saw someone selling tomato potted plants in the trading port, they really didn't think this thing was edible.But there is a guy who doesn't give up. They are guarding the trade port to find new grains. What if this food can be eaten?Then wouldn't he have made a meritorious deed?

So, this guy tried to bribe the government to get a death row prisoner to come out and try it.

The death row inmate committed murder with passion, and the crime of killing people is unforgivable, but he regretted the murder after he killed, fearing that after his death, the orphans and widows in his family would have no one to take care of them.The man told him that as long as he tried something, no matter what the result was, he would give 50 taels of silver to his family.

Death row prisoners are meant to die, and if they are poisoned to death, a whole body can be left behind.For people at this time, it is of course better to keep the whole body than to beheaded.What's more, his family can still get money!So, he lived a life of eating tomatoes every day.I have eaten it raw, thrown it into water and cooked it whole, sliced ​​it into slices and fried it in oil pan, and mixed it with other vegetables and cooked it...

After eating for a while, the condemned prisoner said desperately, "My lord, please let me eat it raw! It's too bad to cook it mixed with eggplant!"

He wasn't poisoned to death, but he was likely to be eaten to death.

In short, since the condemned prisoners have not been poisoned to death, everyone is sure that Ruyi fruit is edible.Moreover, there is one more thing worth mentioning here.The mouth of the condemned prisoner is very smelly, the gums are bleeding all the time, and there are sores on the tongue. After eating Ruyi fruit for a period of time, the symptoms of bleeding gums have disappeared, the sores have also converged, and they are about to heal. It has been improved even more.

What does this mean?It shows that ruyi fruit can not only be eaten, but also cured!

The buddy quickly bought potted plants on the market, and sent them to the capital together with the "Ruyi Fruit Dark Cooking Encyclopedia".

When Bian Jingyu was staying at Shen's house preparing for the test, his uncle had just received Ruyi fruit.Uncle Lu asked the doctor and the cook to study Ruyi fruit together, and they should be able to research some results soon.However, after all, Ruyiguo is not as filling as corn. Even if it is really edible, it will not change the lives of ordinary people much. It is not a big contribution. Fortunately, Ruyiguo can also cure diseases. .

Shen Deyuan was very attentive when teaching Bian Jingyu and Yao Hefeng.Because he was afraid that the two of them would be under too much pressure, when Shen Deyuan took a rest, he wanted to take them out for a walk.Those who can survive the whole test need not only a good brain, but also a good body, so proper exercise is very necessary.As soon as he and Su's made up their minds, they simply took the whole family to the temple outside the city.Most temples are built on mountains, and mountain climbing is good for relaxing.Moreover, Bian Jingyu and Yao Hefeng can also stop by to go to the temple to worship the gods and offer incense, so as to find auspiciousness and peace of mind.

Under normal circumstances, official families like the Shen family like to go to royal temples.But because Shen Yi once worshiped the martial monk of Kongshan Temple as a teacher, the family went to Kongshan Temple.Kongshan Temple has no requirements for rejoicing, and poor people put a copper plate in the merit box, which is also rejoicing.Therefore, common people prefer to go to Kongshan Temple.In this way, among the people climbing the mountain, the Shen family is quite special.

The others were all wearing coarse clothes, with vicissitudes on their faces.But the Shen family members are all innocent.

Fortunately, Mrs. Su made some preparations in advance. Although the clothes they wore were more delicate than ordinary people, the material was only cotton, not the brocade that they usually wear.Everyone thought that their family was a local rich man with some savings in the countryside, but they didn't know that this was a ministerial book of the imperial court and his family members. There was also Xin Chengbo, who had recently become famous, the son of the Hou's mansion, and Zhizhou. His son (Yao county magistrate has been promoted).

A middle-aged woman looked enviously at Shen Si, Shen Yi, Bian Jingyu, and Yao Hefeng. Seeing Su's kind attitude, she said: "You are a lucky person. You have given birth to four sons, and their waists are all straight. Yes!" Looking at Mrs. Yu again, he said, "The sons are all successful, and the daughter-in-law is also filial!"

Su smiled from ear to ear, and said, "I owe you a good word."

Shen Yi winked at Bian Jingyu, Bian Jingyu, as the "non-staff" son of Shen's family, was a little embarrassed by the trouble.

Halfway up the mountain, I saw a big rock.Everyone is used to resting their feet here.

Bian Jingyu hurriedly took out a piece of cloth from the basket she carried with her, and together with Shen Yi supported the cloth and spread it on the stone before asking the female relative to sit down.Other mountain climbers are not as particular as they are, and they just pat the rocks with their sleeves twice before sitting down.Everyone is chatting whether they know each other or not.

Many people had already surrounded the stone, and when the Shen family sat down, they were chatting enthusiastically.

"... I think that Uncle Xincheng is probably destined for immortality, otherwise why would he have discovered corn?"

"I think so too! They are not ordinary people! How can such a fairy fate be available to ordinary people?"

"What do you know! My second aunt's cousin's godmother works in a nobleman's mansion. She said that when Xin Chengbo was not born, his mother dreamed that an old fairy put a piece of fairy grass in her belly." Here, she found out she was pregnant as soon as she woke up. Look, can this be an ordinary person?"

"Yo! It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"That's right! When Xin Chengbo was born, the house was full of fragrance. The flowers in their yard were all in bloom no matter what season it was!"

……

The Shen family looked at each other in blank dismay.The imagination of working people is astonishing, Mrs. Su didn't even know that there was such a big movement when she gave birth to Shen Yi.

Su Shi said: "It's not such an exaggeration. Xin Chengbo's discovery of corn is all thanks to the emperor's kindness. He is just an ordinary person."

Among the group of people who have blown Shen Yi into the sky, Su Shi's statement can be said to be elegant and refined.Everyone turned to look at her.

Except for the Shen family, no one believed Su Shi's words.

The second aunt's cousin's godmother, who worked as an errand in the noble man's mansion, said: "You don't know uncle, how can you know that he is unusual?"

Su Shi: "..."

Speaking out scares you to death, not only do I know the uncle you mentioned, he was born to me.
