Xu Qing pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, the rice strain you mentioned is intriguing. It is truly impossible to promote it throughout the world in a short time, but we can try it first. By the way, if you are free tonight, Master, let's go to Eunuch Chen's residence for a vegetarian meal."
"Are you referring to the Chief Eunuch of the Ritual Supervision, Chen Zhong? Is it appropriate for me to go?"
"It's fine. People like us should act with integrity and righteousness. In fact, for our Majesty, he is not afraid of what we are doing, but rather afraid he doesn't know what we are doing." Xu Qing got straight to the point, explaining the path of governance in the Longevity Dynasty.
Speaking of which, this banquet between Xu Qing and Chen Zhong was also a prearranged business matter.
Old Gu was researching the steam engine in the Ministry of Industry and needed a place for testing. After searching around, he found that the Imperial Stables had a suitable meadow.
