"Luoyang is here!"
According to the speed of the carriage in Mojia village, the journey from Chang'an city to Luoyang is just a day and night. However, Merton and Princess Changle climbed mountains and played with water all the way, enjoyed scenic spots and historic sites, and finally reached Chang'an city.
Looking at this majestic city that is not inferior to Chang'an City, Princess Changle was surprised. Chang'an and Luoyang have been in similar status for nearly a century. They have become the capital of the country for a time in terms of economy, population and even. Chang'an order and Luoyang order Zhou Hongde are rare five grade officials among the cities of the imperial court, which shows the status of Luoyang.
"The royal highness of the princess and Mo Hou came from far away, and the lower officials were far from welcome.
Merton and his wife had just arrived at the west gate of Luoyang City. Unexpectedly, they saw that Luoyang Lingzhou Hongde was already waiting. Officials would not come forward to meet princess Changle, so Merton had to come forward to entertain.
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou. My husband and wife came to play and had no official business. I'm really sorry to disturb adults." Merton said helplessly.
Luoyang makes Zhou Hongde happy Landau: "mohou is modest, and mohho and his royal highness all come East, Huashan and stork house have risen rapidly, and they have benefited immense. The world knows the skills of making Hau stone and gold able to perform wonders, and Luoyang people hope for Mo Hou."
To tell the truth, Zhou Hongde's love for Merton is mixed with hate. If it were not for Merton, Luoyang, the center of the Grand Canal, would certainly surpass Chang'an City in economic status.
However, since Merton allowed brick road to flourish in the Tang Dynasty, the traffic advantages of Luoyang and Chang'an City have been continuously narrowed. Coupled with the industrial wave disliked by Mohists in Chang'an City, Chang'an economy has developed rapidly. Now, Luoyang has made Zhou Hongde subordinate to Su Luosheng, the magistrate of Chang'an County, in terms of political achievements for many years, and the gap is even widening.
However, Merton's flood discharge method for harnessing the Yellow River has greatly improved his political achievements and indirectly helped him. On the one hand, Zhou Hongde's enthusiasm is due to the identity of Princess Changle, on the other hand, he attaches great importance to Merton's skills. After all, it is clear from the previous Huashan Mountain and stork tower, if Merton's help can be obtained, He may not have had a chance to beat sullosen.
However, Merton is destined to disappoint Zhou Hongde in Luoyang. This is Merton's honeymoon. He doesn't want to add some political things here.
Luoyang made Zhou Hongde naturally an interesting person. He was not asking questions, but solemnly said: "Marquis Mo and the princess came all the way. The lower official has prepared his residence and asked the princess to move."
Merton shook his head and said, "thank you for your kindness. Mo has made arrangements for the Mojia village before he came. I won't disturb you."
Luoyang made Zhou Hongde nodded and shifted the topic: "the official would not disturb her royal highness. Later, the official would give a banquet for the princess and Mo hou to catch up with the wind."
Seeing that Luoyang made Zhou Hongde persevere, Merton immediately knew that he couldn't pass this level without bleeding. Moreover, the business of the Mohist school had a considerable focus on Luoyang. Zhou Hongde always maintained a fair attitude, which made the Mohist school no damage to Luoyang City. At present, he had no choice but to say, "then nag your excellency."
When Zhou Hongde heard the speech, he was overjoyed and solemnly said, "thank you, marquis mo."
Zhou Hongde said goodbye to Merton and Princess Changle, and had already waited for the Mohists to come up.
"See you, young master and madam!"
"Old Hua, uncle Yu and shopkeeper Xu!" Merton waved to the crowd. Old Hua and uncle Yu had been operating in Chang'an City for a year, while shopkeeper Xu ran on both sides of Luoyang and Chang'an city. Last year, the money in Luoyang played a great role in the crisis of Mojia village, and their achievements were indispensable.
Old Hua and uncle Yu, both elders of Merton, took the initiative to get out of the car to meet princess Changle, whom Zhou Hongde avoided in Luoyang.
The two quickly returned their gifts with a flattered face.
"Shopkeeper Xu, is my residence ready?" Merton asked after greeting. He took a long time along the way. One of the reasons was to prepare a surprise for Princess Changle, a peony garden specially opened for Princess Changle.
"Young master Hui, you said that the peony garden has been prepared. Its owner loves peonies. The peonies cultivated are unique in Luoyang. Before, we went to contact and wanted to buy its peony garden, but this person refused. We had no choice but to say that the young master prepared for the princess. Its owner had heard of the hero's kindness to relieve the flood of the Yellow River, so we reluctantly gave up our love." Shopkeeper Xu arched to Princess Changle in the carriage.
Merton couldn't help but wonder in his heart and said with a smile: "so, this time I'm still stained with the light of the lady."
Princess Changle gave Merton a white look and smiled proudly.
Princess Changle, who controls the Red Cross Society, has a high reputation among the people. Whenever there is a crisis, you can see the Red Cross Society. Especially the Yellow River flood discharge the year before last, the Red Cross Society appeared in Luoyang for the first time. The people of Luoyang are most grateful to Princess Changle.
The carriage went all the way and soon entered Luoyang City. Suddenly, a lively atmosphere came to our face. Luoyang City was a little less serious than Chang'an City in politics, but a little more commercial atmosphere. The streets of Luoyang City were even more lively.
"Luoyang is really prosperous!" Princess Changle exclaimed.
Merton solemnly nodded. Luoyang is the second pearl of the Tang Dynasty. It can even be said to be the transportation center and economic center of the Tang Dynasty. If Merton did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, if there were no accidents, Luoyang would really surpass Chang'an City in decades. Since then, it has always been the national capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an has declined completely and never become the national capital again.
Shopkeeper Xu opened the way in front. The carriage quickly crossed the busy streets of Luoyang and came to a large courtyard.
"How fragrant!" Princess Changle smelled the refreshing fragrance when she was still on the carriage. In fact, the smell of a single peony was not strong. It must be that many peonies opened together to have such a strong smell.
"Sure enough, Princess Changle is coming!"
"I said that the owner of the peony garden is a flower maniac. I'm afraid only princess Changle has the face to let her give up her love."
"However, mojiazi did not let the owner of the peony garden suffer losses. He not only gave him huge compensation, but also allowed him to transplant some peonies to continue to cultivate."
……………………………………
Peony garden is a holy land of Luoyang peony. The news of its change of ownership has long been quietly spread all over Luoyang City. When Merton and Princess Changle entered the peony garden, everyone suddenly understood the reason why the owner of the lonely peony garden was willing to transfer.
Many girls looked at Merton and Princess Changle with envy. Merton bought the peony garden directly in order to enjoy the peonies in Luoyang. How can such a big pen not be envied by many girls.
"Wow! How beautiful!"
When Princess Changle stepped into the peony garden, she was immediately amazed by the colorful peonies in the garden. In addition to the common white peony, red peony, Yellow Peony and Yellow Peony, there is also a rare rare rare rare black peony.
There is even a peony on which there are seven different colors of peonies, which constitute the color of seven colors. It is also a boutique among peonies. Princess Changle is like an elf in the flower, shuttling among the competing peonies, like a Peony Fairy, roaming in the sea of flowers.
"This master must be an expert farmer!" Merton sighed, looking at the peony in full bloom in front of him. In the Tang Dynasty, although peonies have been very popular in Luoyang, few people have cultivated them on a large scale. The owner of the original peony garden is worthy of being a genius. I'm afraid it's not too much to be the first person to cultivate peonies.
Princess Changle stopped and said, "farmers also cultivate flowers?"
Merton nodded and said, "flowers are also planted in the soil. Naturally, they belong to farmers, and some flowers can even be used as medicinal materials! Even the inoculation of all things is inseparable from flowering and pollination. If you can control the flowering period, it's like controlling the farming season. What's not a farmer?"
Princess Changle nodded thoughtfully.
Morton laughed and said, "Lord Zhou has always wanted Mo's help, but he doesn't know that the real opportunity for Luoyang is far away and near. Shopkeeper Xu, please invite the original owner of the peony garden, say that the Mohist family wants to cooperate with the farmhouse, and ask the farmhouse experts to give you advice."
"Don't invite me. I'm ashamed. I really can't afford to be praised by Marquis mo. Laozao is just a flower farmer. Where is an expert farmer." suddenly, a flower farmer with a hoe got up and said, he is about 50 years old. His appearance is simple, and he is as common as an ordinary farmer.
"Mr. Hu, how can you be a flower farmer here?" Xu Jie was surprised. The flower farmer officially became Hu daonong, the original owner of the peony garden.
Hu daonong said with a wry smile, "this peony garden is the work of my whole life. I really can't rest assured. Even if I'm a flower farmer again, I'm willing. If I collide with the princess and Marquis Mo, I hope I'll forgive me."
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "it is Changle that wins people's love. You are the real owner of the garden. The garden will always be open to Mr. Zhou. Changle will soon return to Chang'an city. I hope Mr. Zhou can help take care of the garden in the future."
Xu Jie was relieved. Fortunately, Princess Changle didn't blame him, otherwise he would be to blame.
Hu daonong said with great joy: "thank you, princess."
Let him give up his hard work at once. Naturally, he didn't give up. The arrangement of Princess Changle naturally surprised him.
"Listen to your royal highness like the peony, this is the old and carefully modulated peony nectar, but the peony is blooming for more than a month. As long as there is this peony nectar, even if the flowering period has passed, Princess Royal Highness can often smell the peony flowers." Hu Daonong smelled a porcelain bottle.
Changle then opened the bottle stopper, and suddenly came out with a strong smell of peony. "It's not the original perfume," moton thought.
"I've heard a lot about mohou. Mohou's grafting method is really an eye opener for me. This colorful peony is cultivated by mohou's grafting method. Recently, it's rumored that mohou's greenhouse method can win the four seasons and make all flowers open in winter. In my opinion, mohou is the real farmer. I don't know what I'm looking for." Hu daonong didn't understand.
Merton looked at the peony nectar that the princess of Changle could not help and could not reveal a mysterious smile. "There was only one thing for the older generation. Now I am afraid it is two things. The first thing is that Mo Hou and the farmers want to make perfume together."
