Chapter 465 The Emperor Visits the Valley (Edited)
However, when I saw the remaining people in the valley, I remembered what my grandson said. These should be people with research projects in hand.
These are all the top talents of Daxia in the future, and they cannot be left here to build a temporary palace.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "No need! No need! I heard from A Jing that you left him a yard.
If I were to come, I could just stay in his yard, there's no need to go through so much trouble.
The land in this valley is fertile, and if we have time, we can plant more crops on the extra land."
"Your Majesty loves the people so much. I will obey your orders! We will plant more crops and not waste this precious land." Mr. Gu replied.
"I heard that the tools you use to grow crops in this valley are also unique? I wonder what they are?" asked the emperor.
"Your Majesty has just entered the valley. Why don't you go back to the house and rest for a while? I will take Your Majesty to have a look around later. What do you think?" asked Old Master Gu.
"Okay, then I'll follow the arrangements of the Duke of Protectorate." The emperor readily agreed.
Then he followed Mr. Gu and walked towards the Gu family's house.
The others who came to pick him up only received a look from His Majesty.
But no one cared about these things and was still in shock.
Mr. Gu was actually named Duke Protector of the Country!
The emperor also came to visit their valley?
Moreover, Mr. Jing, who lives with them day and night, is actually the emperor's grandson!
This is too fantasy!
They, ordinary people who couldn't be more ordinary, turned out to be a blessing in disguise due to a man-made disaster and got such a great opportunity that they could be so close to the imperial power!
Following the Gu family back to the valley was undoubtedly the best decision they had ever made in their lives.
Everyone in the valley was secretly delighted.
Old Master Gu brought the emperor and Song Renjing back to the Gu residence.
He was taken directly to the courtyard where Song Renjing lived, and the housekeeper was arranged to pass a message to the kitchen nanny, prepare snacks, and serve tea.
Song Renjing commanded the secret guards to distribute a portion to the emperor and the accompanying generals, officials, eunuchs, and guards for them to taste.
After everyone had tasted the tea and snacks, Mr. Gu and his two grandchildren accompanied the emperor to visit Song Renjing's courtyard, starting with the small courtyard. They introduced the items in the room and their uses to the emperor and the ministers.
These magical items made the ministers exclaim in amazement.
With Song Renjing here and having stayed at the StarWorld Hotel before, the emperor quickly became familiar with the place.
The feeling after familiarity is comfort.
If there was central air conditioning in the palace, he wouldn't have to suffer from the cold or heat when reviewing memorials.
We visited the Gu family's house and the school in the valley, the laboratory building, the amusement park, the library...
The more the ministers watched, the more shocked they became.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts, how could the Gu family have such a large collection of books.
If these books could be taken outside the valley, they could be spread to the people of Daxia.
Then the knowledge of the Daxia people will be unmatched.
Thinking of this, they looked at the books in the library with eager expressions.
Mr. Gu naturally saw it and said, “Your Majesty, we have built a library in the shopping mall for the books in the valley, and they will be delivered in batches.
Once we have brought Daxia to a stable state, we will donate all these books to the imperial court."
"The Duke of Protectorate has devoted himself to the country. I would like to thank him on behalf of the people of Daxia!" the emperor sighed.
After visiting everything in the valley, the emperor and his ministers tasted the delicious food carefully prepared by the kitchen lady.
Only when I saw the dishes on the Gu family’s dining table did I know what delicacies are.
These were all things that he, the emperor, had never eaten before.
"Duke Protector of the Country, I wonder what kind of fish this is? I have never seen the color of this fish before, and the taste is also very strange!" asked the official from the Ministry of Rites who was traveling with him.
"Oh, this is the specialty of our valley. We have never seen this kind of fish in other places, so we decided to name it peach blossom fish.
If you like, you can catch some and take them home to raise. "Mr. Gu said generously.
The emperor and his entourage stayed in the valley for a few more days, visiting everything in the valley and looking at the research projects in the hands of various students.
There are researches in various aspects including economy, agriculture, scientific research, electricity, manufacturing, medical care, etc.
He couldn't even imagine how developed Daxia would be if these studies were successful.
The Gu family's pattern and vision once again shocked him.
At this moment, he no longer had any doubts, assumptions or vigilance towards the Gu family.
After all, the Gu family possesses so much technology, knowledge, and talents that are ahead of their time. If the Gu family has any rebellious intentions, gunpowder alone can replace their Song family.
But everything the Gu family has done has always been for the benefit of the country and the people, and many things have been done in the name of the court.
For example, the scientific research conducted by people in the valley has been fully supported by the Gu family for a long time, with manpower, effort and materials.
But when he visited today, the Duke of Protectorate actually gave all the credit to him.
Thinking of my previous suspicions about the Gu family...
It's because he, as an emperor, has a narrow vision.
The emperor thought so in his heart, and his attitude towards Mr. Gu became more friendly.
But Master Gu suddenly bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, these talented people have been studying hard in the valley for several years.
The so-called learning of literary and martial arts skills to serve the imperial family, their hard work in the valley cannot create any value for Daxia.
So I thought, after the laboratory outside the valley is built, I will let them all go outside the valley, and then I hope Your Majesty will have mercy on them and give them a proper resettlement." said Mr. Gu.
In fact, Mr. Gu was also worried. The projects that these children were currently developing were still a bit too advanced for Yu Daxia.
He didn't know whether the current emperor could accept these children, nor did he know whether his emperor was willing to spend money and time to allow these children to continue to delve into their fields.
When the emperor heard what Mr. Gu said, he felt even more grateful to him.
"The Duke of Protectorate really cares about Daxia wholeheartedly, I am very pleased!
Don't worry, Aiqin, I will definitely treat these students well."
The emperor responded happily, but he became worried again when he thought of the dormant rebel army.
Now the rebel army is in the dark, and they are in the light.
If these advanced technologies and knowledge were stolen by the rebel army, wouldn’t that be a huge loss? It would be better to let them hide in the valley.
He continued, "However, Daxia still has the hidden danger of rebellious troops. According to the information I have found, those rebellious troops have been broken up into small pieces and are scattered all over Daxia.
But they are hiding very deeply now, and we can’t catch them for the time being, and we don’t know what kind of conspiracy they are carrying out.
The talents you cultivate are all top talents in Daxia.
What I mean is that if it is convenient for the Lord Protector of the Country, it would be better for these talents to continue to stay in the valley.
After we crush the rebel army's conspiracy, we can let them leave the valley and serve Daxia in the imperial court."
