Chapter 117 Shocked Civil and Military Officials
The three adults arrived, and Emperor Tianhong showed them the memorial reported by Mr. Li.
The three of them were all horrified after reading this!
"Your Majesty, could it be that this is written incorrectly? Two thousand catties. You really dare to write it, which is really unconvincing?" Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue immediately sneered. I really can't believe it. The yield per mu is two thousand catties!
"I disagree with what the Minister of the Ministry of Finance said. Are you saying that the people from Sinong Temple lied?" Sinong Qing's face was gloomy and he retorted unhappily.
The Minister of Household Affairs took a look at Sinong Qing's displeased look and said, "I am seeking truth from facts. Since ancient times, there has never been a yield of two thousand per mu. This is simply an exaggeration. Can't I question it?"
The two of them started talking to each other, and gradually they started to argue until their faces turned red, and they were on the verge of a fight.
A hint of sneer flashed in Prime Minister Liao's eyes, these two people have not dealt with each other recently.
Because of a girl, the sons of the two families fought over each other, and finally a fight broke out. The son of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance had a tooth knocked out by the son of Sinong Qing, and the two families were unhappy.
Emperor Tianhong naturally heard about it, and when he saw the two people arguing incessantly, he immediately snorted softly, and then the two stopped fighting and looked away from each other.
Sinong Qing looked at the memorial. He didn't believe it for a moment, but since Li Zi was now his subordinate, he couldn't possibly question it, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have requested permission to go to Tianmen Village in person."
"Haha," Emperor Tianhong laughed while stroking his dragon beard. At first he was like them, "Please take a look at this memorial."
The three adults don't know why. Why is the emperor laughing?
Lu De handed Wei Zhenyu's memorial to the three adults.
The three adults were shocked after seeing Wei Zhenyu's memorial! If Li Zixian's memorial was false, then the Fourth Prince's memorial is trustworthy.
The yield per mu is two thousand catties, and two hundred acres of land is about four hundred thousand catties! This only counts these two hundred acres, what about the others?
Embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the Minister of Tobe, and his face was burning at the moment, but his heart was really shocked!
Sinong Qing glanced at him proudly, with a big smile on his lips. The Minister of Hube was so angry that he clenched his fists and wanted to beat him up.
The three of them immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is auspicious! God bless the Kingdom of Wei."
"Haha," Emperor Tianhong said happily, "My dear friends, please step aside first and we will discuss this in court tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The three of them bowed and left.
After leaving the imperial study, Prime Minister Liao smiled brightly and said, "Congratulations, Lord Sinongqing, you have made a great contribution to the Sinong Temple this time!"
"Oh, congratulations are too early. You haven't seen the cassava yet?" Sinong Qing said this, with a moment of pride in his eyes, and then sneered, "Who did you know just now? I don't believe what Yi Zheng said, look at this is such a slap in the face Hurry!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance turned away in embarrassment, suddenly thought of something, and said proudly to Sinong Qing: "So what, in the end, you entered our Ministry of Revenue. Lord Sinongqing, you have worked really hard! Haha." I left laughing, feeling much better.
"You old man, you have no face, (you old man, you have no shame,)" Sinong Qing cursed angrily, spitting.
"Okay, okay, being angry will hurt your health." A smile flashed in Prime Minister Liao's eyes, he patted him on the shoulder, and then left.
In the court hall the next day, all the civil and military officials did not believe it when they learned that the yield of cassava per mu was two thousand kilograms.
After learning that the fourth prince had also reported the matter, all comments immediately ceased.
You said that there are officials at Sinong Temple who made false reports for the sake of political performance, and the fourth prince does not participate in the court, so there is no reason for such false reports.
Immediately all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted in unison, "If you get this divine seed, God will bless the country of Wei, and your majesty will be blessed."
The Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs rolled his eyes, feeling very excited in his heart. From now on, the granary would no longer have to worry about food problems. "Your Majesty, minister, please order someone to take people to Tianmen Village and transport the cassava back." He wanted to go and see for himself.
Sinongqing gritted his teeth angrily. This old thief was really cunning. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by the emperor.
This matter is under the control of Sinong Temple. "Sinong Qing is responsible for transporting the cassava back, and then sending the cassava stalks to various places and assigning manpower to teach other people to plant it."
"I obey the decree," Sinong Qing received the decree and felt proud.
Tianmen Village
Because we have to dig cassava, the workshop is temporarily suspended. Anyway, we have stocked up, so don’t worry.
The digging of cassava in the fields continued, and Master Fatty and Magistrate Meng's mouths never dropped.
Wang Ruixue started tinkering with her seeds. She checked her phone last night to check how to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.
She also went to ask Fat and Thin adults how to grow crops well, and the two adults were happy to tell her.
She doesn't plan to tell others at the moment. She will secretly plant it first and then tell them later to let them know the breaking news. It is better to tell them in advance than to tell them in advance. If asked when the time comes, she doesn't know how to answer.
She planned to carve out an acre in the backyard to cultivate sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn and plant them elsewhere, but she was worried.
The family saw her clearing up the land in the backyard and asked out of curiosity. Wang Ruixue said she wanted to plant the seeds she bought and wanted to help, but the cassava harvest in the land was so busy that they couldn't free their hands. Fortunately, Lingzhi and Muhan helped much faster.
Not to mention, this Lingzhi looks soft and weak, but she works faster than her. She really can't be judged by her appearance!
The sun hangs like a fireball in the sky, burning blazingly and mercilessly scorching the earth. The big trees are lazily drooping their leaves, and the grass is drooping. There is no energy at all. The birds rarely squat quietly on the branches and take a nap. The cicada plays its violin tirelessly, making the listeners very irritable.
Wearing a hat, Wang Ruixue could feel a scorching heat, like water vapor in a pot lid. Water droplets emerged from her scalp and slid down her scalp.
I touched my back and it was very hot and wet. I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my face.
Put down the hoe, walk to the shade, sit down and rest for a while. When I stopped, I felt that my whole body was sore. I took off the hat and felt a breeze blowing, and my whole body suddenly felt cool.
I finally realized what the poem says: It’s noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the weeds. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work.
When I was studying in the past, I only knew the meaning and had no experience at all. Now I have a deep understanding of it.
Looking at the two people who were still working hard, he said, "Lingzhi, Mu Han, come over and rest for a while."
After hearing this, the two put down their hoes and walked over.
Wang Ruixue looked at Mu Han and raised the corner of his mouth. Could it be that he was overqualified? A secret guard is used for farming.
Lingzhi saw Wang Ruixue looking at Mu Han with a smile in her eyes, curling her lips with disdain, and glanced at Mu Han without any trace.
Mu Han felt it and ignored it at all.
"Miss, are you tired? Just leave these rough jobs to us. Look, your face is as red as lipstick." Lingzhi said distressedly, picking up a handkerchief and gently wiping her sweat.
Wang Ruixue's lips curved, "Oh, your lady is not that delicate, she only works on this acre of land."
Mu Han picked up the water bag, opened the stopper and handed it to Wang Ruixue, "Master, drink water," her voice was a little stiff and her tone was cold.
"Thank you," Wang Ruixue took the water bag and took a sip of water, soothing her dry throat.
In the evening, after digging the last bit of the ground, the villagers finished digging cassava and Lingzhi prepared the meals.
The fat and thin adults and the county magistrate dragged their tired bodies back. Now they are wearing coarse linen clothes and straw sandals. They don't look like officials at all, but look like three farmers.
Followed by a group of government officials wearing patches.
Wang Dashan and others were at the back, with a trace of fear in their eyes. This was engraved in their bones, making them as generous as Wang Ruixue and unable to change it for a while.
