Weiyang Palace, outside the greenhouse hall.

Zhang Ran personally held the box and waited patiently outside the hall with Zhao Yu.

Yes, in the face of the greenhouse vegetable cultivation technology that Zhang Ran can save tens of millions of dollars in expenses for the Shaofu every year, Zhao Yu finally chose to compromise with Zhang Ran, and temporarily put down the matter at hand, accompanied him to the greenhouse hall to ask for the meeting with Emperor Liu Che!

Time passed minute by minute, and after waiting for less than half a stick of incense, a black-clad eunuch suddenly walked out of the greenhouse hall. After leaving the hall, he walked quickly, walked to Zhang Ran and the others, and whispered: "Your Majesty has an imperial edict: Zhao Yu, Minister of Xuan Shaofu, and Zhang Ran, the left prime minister of the Zhengpu, come in to meet him!"

"Two Ming Gongs, please follow the slave into the palace!"

After the eunuch said that, he bowed to Zhao Yu and Zhang Ran, and led them toward the greenhouse hall.

Walking to the greenhouse behind the palace, Zhao Yu and Zhang Ran, both of them came forward at the same time, and bowed to the emperor Liu Che on the imperial bed, "I am the young minister Zhao Yu (Zhang Ran, the left prime minister of the forbidden garden), and I will bow to Your Majesty!"

"Um"

After hearing the sound, Liu Che raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhang Ran and Zhao Yu in the hall, waved his sleeves very casually, and said, "Don't give him a seat."

"Thank you Your Majesty"

When the two heard this, they bowed respectfully. Then they slowly stood up, and under the guidance of the eunuchs, they came to the imperial court, found a soft cushion, and sat down safely.

After the two of them sat down, Liu Che swept over Zhao Yu and Zhang Ran in front of him one by one with an scrutiny. Finally, he looked at Zhang Ran and the two exquisite small boxes in his arms.

"Huh?" After finding that Zhang Ran entered the hall, he kept holding the box. Liu Che couldn't help but feel a little curious. Then, he looked at Zhang Ran with a searching gaze and asked, "Zhang Qing, why are you still holding two boxes? What is it in it? Can you show me?"

"It's about to be presented to Your Majesty!" Zhang Ran hurriedly handed the box to the eunuch beside him, and bowed to explain to Liu Che: "Report to Your Majesty, one of the boxes is the chicks hatched in the workshop garden under my jurisdiction. The other is the chicks and mushrooms that I have recently grown!

Today, I came together with Mr. Zhao to see you and Your Majesty, just to present these two things to Your Majesty for a view, and at the same time report this good news to Your Majesty!"

"Good news?" Liu Che's curiosity in his eyes became stronger when he heard this. He couldn't help but look down at the small box presented by the eunuch. Sure enough, he found a furry, very cute and likable little yellow chicken, and some fresh vegetables such as leek mushrooms!

Looking at the things in front of him, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on Liu Che's face, and he looked at Zhang Ran with some surprise and said, "Zhang Qing, I didn't expect that the method of hatching the chicks you mentioned would succeed so quickly?"

"This is thanks to the support of Your Majesty and the dedicated care of the craftsmen." Zhang Ran bowed to Liu Che very respectfully, and then explained: "Your Majesty, in fact, this method of artificial hatching chickens is almost a mature technology. Before I offered this strategy, I had already hatched three batches of chicks in my hometown. Therefore, it is not difficult to follow the steps and take good care of the technical points summarized by me, and hatch the chicks, which is actually not difficult!"

After a pause, Zhang Ran said again: "This time I presented the chicks hatched from the workshop garden to Your Majesty, which was specially for your Majesty to report to Your Majesty. Now, the chick in front of Your Majesty is enough to prove that there is no way to deceive Your Majesty in any way. It is a practical and excellent method!"

"Well, Zhang Qing said it well and did it very well! I feel so relieved!"

Liu Che couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. Liu Che was still extremely satisfied with the "honest" and rigorous attitude shown by Zhang Ran... As the supreme emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che hated the most in his life and couldn't stand the most malicious deception (although he was always deceived by others). Therefore, the more "honest" Zhang Ran showed, the better Liu Che's sense of his senses, and never stingy to praise his honest and reliable minister Liu Che!

"Thank you for your praise." Seeing that Liu Che was quite satisfied, Zhang Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the two small boxes on the imperial desk, his eyes fell on the box containing leeks and mushrooms, and bowed to Liu Che and said, "In addition to the successful hatching method, the greenhouse vegetables I have cultivated recently have also survived smoothly, so I specially offer them to Your Majesty, please give them to you..."

"Hmm?" Liu Che couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard Zhang Ran's words. He looked at the leek mushrooms in the small box with a little surprise, and said with a slightly strange tone: "Aren't they just some leek mushrooms? They are all ordinary things, not very strange, and are they worth mentioning by Zhang Qing repeatedly?"

Liu Che was a little puzzled, and he was a little confused about why Zhang Ran talked about these leek mushrooms again and again. He had never seen this thing before. There were a lot of them planted in the Taiguan Garden in his Shaofu. Liu Che could basically eat fresh leeks and mushrooms every day. In his opinion, although vegetables in winter are rare, they are not without them. Some vegetables are just something to show off?

"Uh" Facing the questioning gaze that the emperor cast, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly helplessly, then bowed and said, "As Your Majesty said, these leek mushrooms are indeed ordinary things. They are planted in the Taiguan Garden in our Shaofu, and there is nothing to be surprising about!

However, the method of cultivating leek mushrooms is slightly different from the vegetables grown in the Taiguan Garden greenhouse... I use the new cellar planting method. This method is to select a place to discover a cellar, plant leek mushrooms in a relatively warm cellar, and use the convenience of the place to promote the growth of leek mushrooms... Compared with the greenhouse of Taiguan Garden, this method is relatively cheap, and it only costs less than one percent of the cost of Taiguan Garden. If this method is adopted, it will be enough to save tens of millions of dollars for the Shaofu every year..."

"What? Tens of millions of dollars? Or every year?"

When Liu Che heard Zhang Ran say that if he adopted his cellar planting method, he could save thousands of gold to the Shaofu every year, he couldn't sit still. If it was dozens of gold, hundreds of gold, or thousands of gold, Liu Che might not care much, but if it involved tens of thousands of gold or even more money, Liu Che could not ignore it!

What's more, the Henan war last year almost wiped out the national treasury. Now Liu Che is short of money... In this case, when he suddenly heard Zhang Ran say that he could save such a huge amount of money, how could Liu Che remain indifferent?
