Chapter 363

After a conversation, but the next day, Emperor Xin's imperial edict came down and recruited Lu Chao as an official.

Lu Zhi didn't put forward the spectrum of sages and refined scholars. He had to ask emperor Xin to come to the Maolu and ask for something. Even after the imperial edict was issued, he entered the hall of the great Shang Dynasty and became a small "secretary", specializing in all kinds of work, which was equivalent to the Work Department of later dynasties.

After all, Lu Zhiben is famous for his creation such as waterwheel and curved plow. Although he has also written several miscellaneous medical books, in this era, the worship of witches and insects is the mainstream.

Moreover, the voodoo worship wishes of this era are not those great gods who jump and feed you to drink the ashes at the bottom of the pot. They really have the ability and ability. Therefore, the medical books written by Lu Zhi are indeed not valued by those dignitaries.

If those dignitaries are ill and injured, they can invite Wu Zhu granted by the imperial court to treat them. Those Wu Zhu have a magic bonus, and the curative effect is no worse than that of the mature medical system of later generations.

In addition, although Lu Zhi became an official in the Shang Dynasty, he still didn't meet the man Wang Dixin for the time being.

After all, although his official position is not big or small, he is mainly responsible for manufacturing all kinds of tools and utensils. When there are no major things at ordinary times, Emperor Xin will not be seen.

But Lu Zhi doesn't care much. After all, it's still early. There's always a chance to meet Dixin.

And to tell the truth, Lu Zhi is not very interested in visiting Di Xin. Anyway, he just comes to help improve people's livelihood. It's time to leave, but he has no interest in doing anything with di Xin.

Chaoge City, Shanggong workshop.

Lu Zhi picked up a stack of yellowing coarse paper and looked at it. He twisted it with his hand. After checking its texture, he ordered his craftsmen to say.

"Still can't. the toughness of the paper is still poor and can't meet the requirements for writing. Continue to try to improve the process."

After checking the progress of paper manufacturing, Lu Zhi turned around to check the progress of several other projects, and then took two small officials responsible for recording all the way to a Zhuangzi outside Chaoge city to observe and record the growth of hybrid rice varieties.

As soon as they arrived at Chuang Tzu, they saw an old man leading people to meet them and said with a smile: "Lu Si Gong, you're here. Please come in quickly. Old man has prepared wine in Chuang Tzu and invited Lu Si Gong to the Chuang Tzu for a banquet."

Lu Zhi shook his head with a smile and said politely, "Mr. Song, don't eat this banquet. Every time I come over, you have to arrange a banquet to entertain me. I'm embarrassed."

"So forget the banquet. Don't be so polite to Mr. Song in the future... I'd better go to the field to see how the rice seeds are growing."

Seeing that Lu Zhi refused and could not continue the invitation, the old man surnamed song nodded and came to the farmland outside the village with Lu Zhi.

I saw pieces of crisp rice seedlings outside the villa growing just right, a breeze blowing, the smell of rice flowers No, the rice seedlings haven't heading yet, and they have just applied natural farmyard fertilizer once. There's no smell of rice flowers

Seeing the green rice seedlings, uncle song couldn't help smiling on his face and said.

"Thanks to you, Mr. Lu, we have provided new rice seeds to the people in the village and taught them how to compost... It's the first time in decades that we have seen crops growing so well."

In this era, people's concept of planting grain and grain still stays at the level of the most primitive slash and burn cultivation. Although many grains can survive smoothly in the end because of the full aura of this world, the final harvest depends on God's will and luck.

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Mr. Song, now the growth of rice seedlings has almost stabilized, so I won't come again in the next two months."

"Two months later, when the rice seedlings begin to bear ears and grain, I will come again... During this period, I will bother Mr. Song and the villagers to take good care of these wheat seedlings and weed them every ten days to prevent pests."

"Finally, during this period, we will prepare more fertilizers and provide some nutrients for the rice when it begins to fill..."

After giving a few instructions to Uncle song, Lu Zhi turned around and returned to Chaoge city again. After all, there are still many new projects to deal with in Shang workshop. We can't just stare at this side.

Since Lu Zhi took office, several new objects, such as waterwheel, curved plow, brocade, cotton and abacus, have been circulated from Shang workshop every once in a while

Lu Zhi took out some things that could be restored from later generations, and spread them among the people with the convenience of Shang workshop and Yin Shang Dynasty hall.

At first, it was only Chaoge city. Later, princes and merchants all over the world also sent people to Chaoge city to learn scriptures and slowly spread all over the world.

In particular, since the villagers in Songjiazhuang reaped nearly six or seven times the previous harvest in the autumn a year ago, the improved rice and the new method of farming and composting were famous all over the world, which attracted the princes from all over the world to send people to play and ask emperor Xin for the method of rice farming and cultivation.

But Dixin directly rejected them, and even ordered that no improved rice should flow out of the Chaosong, and the new method of composting cultivation should not be spread.

Lu Zhi can understand why emperor Xin behaved like this. After all, although he is nominally the common Lord of the world and controls the princes in the world, in fact, in addition to Chaoge city and the Central Committee of Wuguan, almost all other places are the autonomy of the princes, and Emperor Xin can't control it at all.

And now the princes all over the world seem obedient, but in fact everyone has his own careful thinking, and the rebellion continues. The Yin and Shang armies are still fighting the rebellion all over the world. How could emperor Xin spread these improved seeds and new farming methods to the enemy?

However, it's none of Lu Zhi's business. Anyway, he just needs to take out as many things as possible to improve people's livelihood and educate the people, and then spread them all over the world. As for the power struggle between emperor Xin and those princes, he doesn't want to pay attention at all.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Lu Zhi was promoted.

After all, since taking office, Lu Zhi has done a lot of things that benefit the country and the people, and has won a good reputation. Naturally, he has been promoted to an official and a doctor in the chaotang, so he can enter the chaotang for discussion.

However, Lu Zhi never spoke or put forward any opinions in the court. There's nothing to say about this.

He was also met several times by Emperor Xin, who observed the famous tyrant from a close distance.

However, from his contact with emperor Xin and his observation, the faint king was not as unbearable as recorded in historical books, but he was by no means a Ming king.

It is well known that emperor Xin is amorous. Although this is not a big stain, it is enough to reduce people's evaluation of him. Secondly, Emperor Xin is conceited and rebellious. To put it better, it can be called domineering, heroic and martial. Even now, a number of ministers, such as Bigan, evaluate emperor Xin as a "hero".

But unfortunately, Dixin doesn't have the ability and courage of the hero. After all, Lu Zhi evaluates him as arrogant and frivolous, and his ability is not enough to support his self-confidence.

Dixin doesn't know what Lu Zhi thinks of him. After all, he doesn't pay much attention to Lu Zhi himself. It's not too much for him to be a great talent in the population such as bagan.

It's just that he concocted some novel things and a few stones of rice. It's not worth looking at him differently, corporal Wang.

What he really valued was the pillar of the country that could help him calm the world, like the grand master Wen. In his opinion, others were not as good as Fei Zhongyou, the two courtiers who could best figure out the meaning and cater to his preferences.

Generally speaking, in Lu Zhi's view, Dixin is a person who is happy and proud but has limited ability. He doesn't pay any attention to the internal affairs of the people's livelihood. Maybe he doesn't know the internal affairs and the people's livelihood, just because He doesn't care!

What does the livelihood of the people below have to do with him, the high king?

All the people in the world are nothing but dogs and dolphins in his eyes. They are just the people ruled by him. How can he really care?

Therefore, after knowing Dixin's temperament, Lu Zhi became more and more transparent. He didn't make a sound or stand up until the seven-year period was approaching. He began to prepare again and wanted to resign and leave the Chaoge.
