Chapter 59 Donating grain seeds
Seeing that these troublesome people who fell from the sky deliberately ignored Yu Yalan, Song Xi felt very angry inside, and there was a bit of coldness on his face unconsciously.
He left the three parties in the elegant room of the teahouse to dry for a while, until several people were on the verge of going crazy, he came belatedly with Yu Yalan, and directly discussed how to deal with high-yielding grains.
"After discussing with the Yu family, I decided to donate the remaining high-yielding grains, the formula for making ecological fertilizers, and the manufacturing drawings of new agricultural tools to the emperor. You don't have to fight overtly and covertly for these.
Things that benefit the people and farmers should be enjoyed by the court and even the people of the Zhou Dynasty."
Several people were a little surprised and dissatisfied when they heard this. They thought that Song Xi would divide all the grains equally among the three parties in order to achieve a balance and ensure that no one would offend. But they didn't expect that he planned to donate the grains in person? Then wouldn't their work have been in vain?
field!
"Can Mr. Song be the head of the Yu family?" Ma Jin asked sarcastically.
Song Xi glanced at him indifferently, "Why didn't Ma Juren investigate clearly before doing anything? This Le Nong Commercial Bank is a store jointly opened by me and the Yu family. Naturally, I can decide where the high-yielding grains will go. Speaking of which, you guys are like this
They are aggressive and plotting against the Hou Mansion's property!"
This news came so unexpectedly that everyone present was shocked and speechless for a moment.
This Le Nong Commercial Bank is actually the property of the Hou Mansion? This high-yield grain is also owned by the Hou Mansion?
Then why are they still fighting?
Although there is only a rich and wealthy son in the Hou family who is in charge of the house, Dingbei Hou is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Ma Jin was still a little unwilling to accept that this great opportunity to make meritorious deeds was lost in vain?
"Since Mr. Song has obtained such a magical thing that benefits the people, why didn't he report it to the court early? The Dingbei Marquis Mansion has been holding heavy troops for many years, and now it has obtained high-yielding grains and sufficient food and grass for the troops and horses. After that, wouldn't it be possible for him to do whatever he wants, and no one can do it?
block?"
These words are almost clear that the Song family wants to rebel, and they will slander them without getting any benefits. These aides of the eldest prince are really disgusting!
Song Xi listened to his strange insinuations and couldn't help but retorted: "I have only been harvesting grain for three to five days, and you guys brought your troops and horses to chase and block the door, and I haven't complained yet and asked for peace.
Well, you started spreading rumors and causing trouble first!
In my opinion, Ma Juren's eloquence is too unfair to serve as an aide. It is better to go to the northwest and debate with the Tatars. Maybe we can surrender the Beidi barbarians without spending a single soldier, so that they dare not invade the Great Zhou Dynasty again.
Half a step, and then my father and brother will be willing to disarm and return to their fields."
The Zhou Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. If it were not for the Song family and his sons guarding the frontier, I am afraid that the iron hooves of the Tatars would have already set foot in the Central Plains.
Although Ma Jin was a little annoyed and angry, he still remembered the eldest prince's great ambitions, so he planned to try patiently to win over the Song family again, "A good bird chooses the right tree to roost. Looking at the high position and power today, he might be reduced to a
As a prisoner, the Hou Mansion should make careful plans for its own future."
I really wanted to win over the Hou family, but why did I kill him without any scruples during the royal autumn hunt?
The eldest prince is narrow-minded and short-sighted. He has neither the heart to be courteous and virtuous, nor the open-mindedness to embrace all rivers. He is cruel and ruthless, and is unworthy of being a prince!
The emperor was in his prime and the crown prince had not yet been established, so why did they think they were sure of victory?
Song Xi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he responded coldly: "Dingbei Houfu is loyal to the emperor, and his sincerity can be seen in the sky, earth, sun and moon. I don't understand why he chose other good trees? Ma Juren is doing this.
Instigate the Hou Mansion to rebel?"
When Ma Jin saw that he didn't know how to praise him, he was so angry that he stood up. Before leaving, he threatened with gritted teeth: "Young Master Song, please pray that the Dingbei Hou Mansion will prosper forever, otherwise you will surely die if you lose power."
Burial place!"
"Each other."
Song Xi knew that if Ma Jin returned empty-handed this time, the eldest prince would be furious, and their palace might face an even more dangerous situation.
But the pride of the Song family cannot be compromised, nor can the Marquis Mansion's dedication to the Zhou royal family be negated!
Zheng Xianduo watched a good show with a slumped face. Although it was a pity to miss out on high-yielding grains, he had gained something by confirming that Marquis Dingbei would not join the eldest prince. So after Ma Jin left angrily, he also took pictures
He patted his butt and left gracefully, with a calm attitude and no nonsense words left.
The Song family was famous for their lack of money and salt, so he did not want to be such a thankless lobbyist.
The crisis situation surrounded by three parties has been completely resolved, and Yu Yalan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to take Song Xi to discuss the next action with him, she saw the prefect Lu Tong slowly walking over.
"I think you two are in a worrying situation. If you continue to monopolize the responsibility for donating food, I'm afraid there will be endless disasters. Why not consider a win-win cooperation with His Highness the Third Highness? Someone will take care of you along the way, and you will be able to face the Holy Spirit smoothly when you enter the capital."
After hearing this, Song Xi glanced at the smiling Lu Tong, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, before deciding to agree to his suggestion.
"Then it will be up to Magistrate Lao Lu to help bridge the gap."
Since the third prince insisted on rushing in to grab the credit, and had already made his own decisions and reported it to the emperor, it was up to him to charge forward, so as to share the anger of the other two princes.
Lu Tong was overjoyed and immediately promised that the matter would be taken care of, and then left the teahouse with a smile on his face.
Yu Yalan and Song Xi looked at each other, held each other's hands in tacit understanding, and slowly returned to Yu's house.
"When Lu Tong is ready, I will personally send grain seeds and other things to the capital." Song Xi told the girl his plan.
"Will they be resentful and just ambush and intercept them in the middle of the road?"
Yu Yalan was very worried. She always felt that the popularization of high-yielding grain varieties had become a huge disaster, and might even involve the Hou Mansion and be framed by others at any time.
Song Xi gently stroked her frowning eyebrows and comforted her softly: "It's okay. The matter of donating food has already been cleared up by the emperor. There are also three princes Ji Jiying who are messing around in the court. This time they come to Beijing to accept the request.
They will be safe and sound. When the matter is over, I will try to provoke a fight among the brothers, and then I will be able to escape unscathed. You can rest easy and wait for me to come back in Xianping."
Yu Yalan nodded dejectedly, still feeling a little unspeakable uneasy and panicked in her heart.
It is so difficult to do some meritorious deeds to save the world and benefit the people. She understands how difficult it is for gods and Buddhas. Even if they are good people who save all sentient beings in the human world, how many people can achieve good results and blessings?
Seeing that she was still frowning, Song Xi had no choice but to put her in his arms, pat her back like a child, and soothe her anxious mood with gentle words.
Yu Yalan gradually calmed down in the broad and strong arms, and secretly made up her mind to protect Song Xi and the Hou Mansion. If anyone dared to hurt him and his most cherished family...
