    A few days later, Team Xu came to the inn to visit, just to talk about the purchase of a makeup mirror a while ago.

    When Xu Zhang entered the room, they couldn't help but glance at Murphy. Some time ago, this young man wore vulgar clothes and still couldn't hide his elegance. Now, after washing away the dust and fatigue, he put on a neat and elegant robe, and he was as clean and beautiful as a water lily after the rain.

    Team Xu secretly said again: What a pity! If he's just an ordinary citizen, he can get it by himself.

    After taking a look, Team Xu saluted Murphy and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your son looks very good."

    "This is also thanks to Team Xu." This is not a compliment. If Team Xu hadn't offered the deposit, she probably wouldn't even have a place to live, let alone buy some clothes.

    "Haha." Team Xu said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Wen Zhong has officially entered the Prince's Mansion, and I haven't had time to congratulate him yet."

    Mo Fei said lightly, "Mr. is very knowledgeable, and the future is immeasurable. If Xu Zhang wants to meet with you, please congratulate him by the way."

    "Hands of work, pleasure."

    Team Xu made a few more polite remarks before getting to the point: "About that treasure mirror, I would like to offer 800 silver ingots, I wonder what your son would like?"

    "Team Xu can produce 800 silver ingots is very good." Mo Fei replied lightly.

    Since Murphy didn't understand his emotions at all, Team Xu couldn't figure out whether his words came from the sincerity or just to deal with it. Therefore, he had to add: "Of course, if the dignitaries and nobles bid more, it's just that 800 silver is the highest price that you can pay."

    Of course, Murphy would not think that what the other party said was true. As a person who has been in business for many years, he would never easily reveal his trump card when negotiating a price. She dared to say that if this mirror were to be sold to other nobles, the price of at least 2,000 silver ingots would be possible. It's just that she doesn't care about it. 800 and 2000 silver have the same meaning to her today. Without enough background, no matter how much money is, it's just something that brings disaster.

    So she nodded and said, "Team Xu has helped me a lot, it's just a mirror, 800 is 800!"

    Team Xu immediately smiled and hurriedly said words of thanks.

    Murphy got up and took out the mirror from his bag, touched it a few times, and then handed it to Team Xu.

    Team Xu took it with both hands and looked at it like a baby. Although he had seen it once, he couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it again.

    Murphy thought for a while and said: "This is the only thing in the world, please keep it well, and if you want to give it away, don't say your name, so as not to cause more troubles."

    "Young master said yes." Xu Zhang quickly restrained his expression, and then he realized that this young man did not know the true value of the mirror, but he just didn't take the money seriously, otherwise he would not face it. Thousands of silver ingots are treated indifferently.

    This is probably not really a simple character. Team Xu, who had only been paying attention to his color, began to reflect on himself.

    Team Xu moved very quickly, and immediately called for someone to bring silver ingots, there was a box full of them. He didn't stop after the event, he said goodbye and left.

    Murphy sent Team Xu away, and then put the silver ingot into the backpack without checking it, which was really heavy.

    After finishing the matter, Murphy sat at the desk and spread out the blank bamboo slips that had been prepared beforehand - these items and clothes were purchased by Xiao Er for help. She still hadn't been out of the house, and any stone could hit it here. In a royal capital of nobles, you need to be more cautious. Until she has a real identity and talisman, she can walk in the market with confidence. And what she has to do now is to seek protection for herself.

    When Wei Xuan decided to go to the eldest prince, she also made the same plan, but she did not have a talisman. If she went with Wei Xuan, she could not refer to it and could only enter as a servant, which would be taken lightly. . So the best way is to recommend yourself, write a brief letter to attract the attention of the eldest prince, and at the same time strive for a formal identity. believe that based on the person of the eldest prince that she has heard from others, she should not be stingy to help her with this small favor.

    Looking at the bamboo slips, Mo Fei silently recalled it in his heart. She didn't see the situation and wars in various countries in this era, so she didn't comment, so as not to make jokes. But no matter how the war continues, one item is definitely the most important - that is food and grass.

    The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. This is a truth that everyone understands, and the development of agriculture determines whether a country has enough back-up support, and also determines the final direction of the war to the extent that it is different.

    Since she passively chose this country, she hopes to actively improve the country's national strength and increase its leverage in the melee. Of course, she also knew that she had little power, but it was better than doing nothing at all.

    "The holy king is above and the people are not cold and not hungry, they must be able to plow and eat them, weave and clothe them, and force the way of their wealth. The cold is in the clothes, and it does not wait for light and warmth; the hunger is in the food, not willing to be willing. The purpose. Hunger and cold to the body, regardless of shame. If you don't eat for one day, you will be hungry. If you don't make clothes all year old, you will be cold. The husband can't eat if the stomach is hungry, and the body is cold. "Murphy begins by quoting Chao Cuo, a statesman of the Han Dynasty.

    "We must settle down the people and teach them to be rich. If a farmer does not cultivate, the people will suffer from hunger; if a woman does not weave, the people will suffer from cold." Then, Murphy began to describe some advanced farming methods on the basis of agriculture in this era. , according to the difference in soil and climate between the north and the south, different discussions are made, from the aspects of selection and breeding, farming technology, fertilization, water conservancy, etc., "Every kind of farming is generous: those who are strong want to be soft, those who are soft want strength. Those who are relaxed want to work. , Those who are tired want to rest. Those who are thorns want fat, those who are fat want to be thorns. Those who are urgent want to be slow, those who are slow want to be urgent. Those who are wet want to be dry, and those who are dry want to be wet.”

    The last and more important is the introduction of agricultural tools. "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." In this era, iron agricultural tools have been widely used, but most of them are not very efficient. Here, Murphy focused on drawing the curved plough, the columbine cart, the push sickle, the hook sickle, the wheat utensil, etc., and made notes on the side. After thinking for a while, Mo Fei added a pair of copper carts, "The big one can be moistened in a thousand hectares, the height can fly over a hundred feet, the frame can reach far, and the acupuncture point can be submerged. There is a lot of rain on the ground." This is really a great tool for diverting water for irrigation.

    At this point, this brief is the end of the book. Except for the improvement of farmland, Murphy has only made a brief description of animal husbandry, forest trees, vegetables, etc. After all, it is not necessary to write all at once, just leave an introduction at the end.

    After re-reading it several times and making sure that there were no typos or omissions, Murphy breathed a sigh of relief. The rest is the most important thing. Raise your spirits and choose a day to visit the eldest prince Li Chen.

    The next day, Murphy was restless eating in the private room of the inn. From time to time, he touched the bamboo slips in his pockets, but his eyes were looking at the road outside the window. Performance. This is not acting, she can do it all over again, she only has one chance, she must succeed.

    At this time, Xiao Er knocked on the door and came in to serve tea. Murphy was still looking out the window, when he saw a gorgeous carriage slowly passing by.

    Xiao Er smiled and said, "The eldest prince is traveling again."

    "The eldest prince?" Murphy finally returned to his senses and asked, "Where is the eldest prince?"

    Xiao Er walked to Chuanbian and pointed in the direction of the carriage: "Well, that is the special carriage of the eldest prince. The golden dragon beast is carved on the roof, which is easy to recognize."

    Murphy hurriedly leaned over to look around, and there was indeed a golden carving shining on the top of the distant carriage.

    "Hey, stop." Xiao Er suddenly said again.

    "What is the eldest prince doing here?" Murphy asked.

    "Oh, I should go to Zhaosongyuan to drink tea and play chess." Xiao Er replied, "Zhaosongyuan was built by Dr. Luqiu, only dignitaries and nobles can enter, and the eldest prince will occasionally go there to rest. The prince is here, so the others may have to temporarily escape."

    Murphy's eyes lit up, isn't this a godsend opportunity?

    She settled the bill, gave Xiao Er a few coins as a reward, and hurriedly walked towards Zhaosong Garden.

    After confirming the carriage, and looking at the two guards standing at the door, Mo Fei calmed down, stepped forward and saluted: "The common people are floating pictures, I will meet you with a brief book, and I hope His Royal Highness will allow you to enter and discuss in detail."

    The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "Wait a minute." Then they went in to report.

    After a while, the guard came out and waved to Murphy: "My master has affection."

    OK, the first step went well.

    Mo Fei calmly followed the guards into the garden, turned around the corridor, and saw two men sitting in a pavilion not far away, a long-bearded man in his fifties, and a brocade-robed man in his twenties. man. The former may be Lu Qiu, the owner of the garden, and the latter is obviously the target person this time - the eldest prince Li Chen.

    Murphy didn't dare to look at it, he walked silently outside the pavilion with his head down, holding the bamboo slips in both hands and bowing slightly to the two people in the pavilion and said, "Fu Tu of the common people, meet the prince."

    Mo Fei, who bowed his head, did not notice that the expression of the old man in the pavilion was a little bit like a smile, but the man didn't react, but the guards standing outside the pavilion looked a little cold. It stands to reason that to meet the royal family as Murphy, it is necessary to kneel and worship, but Murphy really can't kneel down, so he can only stand like this. She doesn't know now that as long as the master is not happy at this time, her knee will be bent by a sword hilt.

    "Public people floating map? What's the matter with this king?" The man's voice came over, cold and deep.

    Murphy is a little strange, didn't he hear that the eldest prince is a gentle person? Why does it feel so oppressive? Could it be that it is extravagant...

    Quickly throwing away other thoughts, she replied: "Fu Tu is a wanderer in a foreign land, he has nowhere to rely on, he travels all over the place, and he has a little understanding of the farming methods of Qimin, so I hereby hold him to pay his respects to His Highness. , I asked His Highness to give Fu Tu a good record, and from then on Fu Tu will abandon the past and contemplate for His Highness."

    The man was silent for a while, as if he was looking at Murphy, and after a while he said, "Bring it up."

    The guard immediately took the bamboo slip from Murphy's hand, and the man slowly flipped through it.

    Murphy has been waiting silently. Although his face is as dull as always, he is already beating drums in his heart, and he feels that time is really passing slowly.

    After a while, the man handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the old man next to him: "Elder Lu, please take a look too."

    The old man took over to read them one by one, slightly moved, and said softly: "It is indeed a talent."

    The man nodded, turned to look at Murphy, and said lightly: "This brief book seems to be incomplete, I hope your Excellency can complete it in the future."

    Mo Fei moved in his heart and said, "Your Highness means..."

    "You go back today to pack your bags, and report to Fuzhong tomorrow."

    Before Murphy had time to thank him, the man said again: "But instead of going to the Grand Prince's Mansion, it's the Rongzhen Prince's Mansion. This king is the Rongzhen King Wu Yue."

    Murphy suddenly petrified, Rong Zhen Wang Wu Yue? Isn't Wu Yue the black iron cavalry general? Why did he become King Rong Zhen again? Why would he be sitting in the prince's carriage?

    She raised her head abruptly, and sure enough, the man in the brocade in the pavilion looked familiar. Although she didn't see his face at a glance last time, his body and imposing manner were very similar.

    She... really got it wrong...

    "Haha." The old man laughed, looking very happy, and teased, "I didn't expect you, Wu Yue, to be admitted wrong!"

    Wu Yue didn't care much, just stopped looking at Murphy, and said lightly: "Go down, come to Prince Rongzhen's mansion tomorrow." The tone was light but with unquestionable affirmation.

    My lord, what she wants to meet is the eldest prince! You big lord, this little girl really can't stand it!

    Can you not go?

    Obviously, this is not possible. Murphy followed the guard out of the door in a low mood.

    His eyes swept to the side of the carriage, and he wanted to cry without tears in his heart. Why did this general ride in the prince's carriage!

    Only later did Murphy find out that Wu Yue had just come out of the Prince's Mansion that day, and when the Prince saw that his carriage was not there, he sent his own carriage to see him.

    Due to such a misunderstanding, Murphy, who was originally going to enter the Grand Prince's Mansion, entered the Rongzhen Prince's Mansion instead.

    In the future, if the eldest prince knows about this, he will not know how to regret that the carriage was borrowed too badly...
