Chapter 228: Your Majesty: I can't think about it, it hurts me to think about it
How can we produce thousands of kilograms of grain per acre forever?
Why was he, Li Xingjian, so lucky to meet him?
Is he the Chosen One?
If he was truly the chosen one, the Emperor of Great Xia would kill him first, okay?
Of course, it is impossible to say that he was joking about such a big thing.
Li Xingjian would not tell such a big lie, it would be a head-turning thing, so it is more likely that he is really crazy and telling nonsense.
Emperor Xia's mouth twitched as he listened to the discussions of the officials in the court. As for the shrewd and cunning boy of the Qi family, would he be crazy? Even if you are all crazy, he can't be crazy.
So although the more I thought about it, the more unreliable it became. It was so unreliable that even Emperor Xia almost suspected that there was something wrong with Li Xingjian's brain?
But Emperor Xia was sure that Li Xingjian was a cunning but reliable guy, and he mentioned the Yan family in the story. Emperor Xia was convinced that 99% of this story was true.
The only untrue possibility is that the guy is really crazy for unknown reasons.
There was a heated discussion in the hall for a while. Even Qi Guogong was confused and had a headache. He was overwhelmed by the things everyone asked him about, so he had to say that he didn't know anything.
Everyone said it was impossible, and even looked down at Qi Guogong, "Your son has been involved in such a big deal, and you don't even know?"
Believe it or not, unless your son doesn't take you seriously and hides something from you.
Tsk, the Duke of Qi is trying to cause a feud between father and son.
If the Duke of Qi knew that they thought this way, he would definitely slap them in the face!
What’s wrong? My son is not interested in doing something big yet? Who dares to talk nonsense about such a high-yielding new grain without proof? Does my son not believe me? My son is prudent, thoughtful and considerate of everything!
You are just jealous that my Li family has produced such an outstanding son, and you are jealous of my son who is so outstanding that he has no friends. Besides being excellent, he is also very lucky!
I don't care about you jealous people.
The Duke of Qi had a straight face and was too lazy to pay attention to these discussions.
His Majesty the First Emperor, who had only been in office for two days in the Hanlin Academy, found out about such a big matter as soon as the court meeting was over.
Because the excerpt mentioned that it was the Yan family who discovered new grain varieties and carried out experimental planting, and Yan Yongwu of the Yan family was this year's top scholar in a new subject, and is now serving in the Hanlin Academy.
His Majesty the First Emperor was dealing with official business, and a group of people came over to ask him about corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and cotton. But what did he grow on the hundreds of acres of land at home and what was the approximate harvest? When he inspected his new land before, his son and daughter were
Introduced to him.
So he really knew about this.
Even he, the emperor who had unified six kingdoms, was shocked by the frighteningly high yield per acre. He had to believe it only after seeing some agricultural information brought out by his daughter and seeing potatoes and sweet potatoes in person.
His feelings at that time were really complicated.
Really, extremely complicated.
I always feel like I, the first emperor of the world, have been tricked by God.
My daughter is very good, and I am very strong. A father as strong as me should have a daughter as strong as my daughter, but the fate of you and me as father and daughter, when it comes, is a bit fucked up.
If I had such an awesome daughter in my previous life...
His Majesty the First Emperor, who was heartbroken by the series of Ten Thousand Ifs, decided to say goodbye to Ifs.
I can't think about it, I'm really heartbroken.
Fortunately, I have a strong heart, but who can stand this stimulation?
His Majesty the First Emperor responded to the colleagues who came to inquire with a calm smile, saying that this was indeed the case, but whether it would be possible to promote the cultivation of this new grain in Daxia would have to go through several years of experiments. Agriculture is the foundation of the country.
Hasty conclusions.
Once you've confirmed that this is true, that's it. Li Xingjian, who is far away in Linjiang, can't go crazy. Looking at Yan Yongwu, who is the best among people, regardless of his future and the lives of his family, he follows Li Xingjian and goes crazy, right?
Before these people left, Emperor Xia sent someone over to invite the First Emperor to come and speak.
The First Emperor responded calmly and after confirming Li Xingjian's memorial, Emperor Xia smiled. In fact, he had already paid attention to Yan Yongwu. Otherwise, even if he was indeed a rare talent, Emperor Xia would not have selected Yan Yongwu as the number one scholar. Not only
The number one pick, and the top three picks, are actually all considered based on various other factors.
Emperor Xia noticed Yan Yongwu because the three technologies of strong crossbows, fine steel and satin, and glass all came from Yan Yongwu's family.
In the Great Xia Empire, with the improvement of defense power, the Yan family's merits were enough to be granted the title of marquis. Unfortunately, such merits could not be clearly shown. Nominating Yan Yongwu as the number one scholar was a temporary compensation method.
If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely give real benefits to the Yan family.
The Great Xia Empire will not reward unworthy ministers with titles, but the Great Xia Empire will never be stingy with a title for meritorious ministers.
This time it was revealed that the Yan family had developed new high-yielding crops. The Emperor of Great Xia could not be more satisfied with the Yan family. He wished he could be at least as good as a marquis.
The merits of making strong crossbows and fine steel satin are not easily rewarded, but agriculture is the foundation of the country, and planting new grains with a yield of several thousand kilograms per mu is no less than opening up a new territory. As long as the subsequent experimental planting does not produce
Regarding the question, Emperor Daxia said that the title of the Yan family was given by him as a wise king.
With such unparalleled achievements, if he is reluctant to give up a title, others will not dare to say anything while he is in office. When he dies, will future generations not be able to call him a coward?
The Emperor of Great Xia said that it is absolutely impossible for me to become a faint king! He has made up his mind to become a wise king!
The Emperor of Great Xia admired Yan Yongwu very much at the first sight. He couldn't help it. The image of this number one scholar was nine points, his bearing was nine points, and his political views were nine points. He couldn't give ten points. That's because the ministers couldn't surpass him.
Emperor.
At this time, seeing the First Emperor who was invited to the royal study by the eunuch, the Emperor of Great Xia was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Fengchi has given birth to some good sons and daughters. Dragons and phoenixes should be like this among men! But for such a big thing,
Fengchi, you have never mentioned it to me before, you really shouldn’t!”
The First Emperor thought to himself, "What are you talking about? My heart is bleeding. We are both emperors. I am much more powerful than you, but unfortunately I am not as lucky as you. Is it because you have taken advantage of others?"
If it weren’t for the fact that the country is peaceful and the people are safe in Daxia, and you are the emperor, I will kill you, do you believe it or not?
He gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, and said calmly with just the right amount of joy and humility on his face: "It's not that I deliberately concealed it. It's just that farming is not a trivial matter. It is related to the country. How can I talk nonsense before the successful planting is confirmed? Even Linjiang Li
The county magistrate's memorial also stated that if you want to promote it, you need at least two seasons of planting, and it can only be implemented in some areas. If you want to plant it on a large scale across the country, you must have several years of successful experience. County Magistrate Li
Caution is the correct way to deal with it."
"As for my children, how can I deserve your majesty's praise? It's just good luck. My son has some talent in cultivation. When he travels, he likes to collect some plant seeds in the mountains and fields. Those agricultural plants are also accidentally obtained. In fact,
It is a stroke of luck. This is because God has sensed that I, Daxia, have an eternal wise king, and that I want Daxia to be strong and prosperous, and to protect Daxia’s foundation for eternity."
Dream for eternity or something.
