Looking left?
Xiang Zhou couldn't help but frown, feeling that there was something in Jiang Lao's words.
But after thinking about it for a moment, his brows quickly relaxed.
He’s just a boy less than 20 years old, so what if someone takes a fancy to him? Even if you enter the officialdom at a young age, you won't be able to cause too much trouble, and you won't be afraid at all.
“It seems that Mr. Jiang has different opinions?”
"I don't have any opinion."
Mr. Jiang stretched out his hand to smooth his beard, and said in an elegant manner, "I just don't think this person needs experience."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Presumably Prime Minister Zhou has received the potatoes as a reward from the emperor yesterday, right? This thing comes from Shenjia Village, Lin'an Prefecture, and it is said that it was discovered by Shen Zijing."
What? !
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and a small sound of inhalation began to be heard in the hall. Even Prime Minister Zhou's pupils shrank slightly when he heard these words, and he became a little more dignified and in disbelief.
Potatoes? Potato!
He was the one who discovered potatoes!
Those are grains, potatoes that can be used as both a staple food and a vegetable!
Yesterday morning, Song Zhi, the eldest son of Duke Rongguo, personally transported potatoes to Beijing. After receiving the news, the officials naturally wanted to inquire about it. Just when they didn’t know what the thing was, they received a message from the palace. The reward was a few kilograms of lumps called potatoes and a few food recipes.
As court officials, they knew what the birth of a kind of grain meant, not to mention that the grain was particularly high-yielding.
The merit lies in Sheji.
But now they are told that the man who has made great achievements in Sheji is a 19-year-old boy?
What a joke!
For a while, the officials in the entire hall fell into silence, with different expressions.
The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, took in the expressions on everyone's faces. A hint of deep meaning flashed in his sharp eyes. Mr. Jiang smiled and smoothed his white beard with his hand again.

Yu Heting and Shen Xingluo followed everyone out of the palace gate. As for Qin Zheng, when he left the main hall, he was invited by a young eunuch to the harem to meet the imperial concubine. The few Imperial College students in front were wearing brocade robes and were chatting, but from time to time they cast strange and scrutinizing glances at the two people behind them.
There is no way, Shen Xingluo’s answer was too outstanding when the emperor asked him just now. Even though they firmly believed that it is difficult for students from poor families to get a good ranking, Shen Xingluo still made them feel excited. A strong sense of crisis.
Yu Heting glanced at the person beside him and smiled, "Brother Zijing, do you want to say congratulations first?"
"It's too early."
Shen Xingluo walked steadily, " Brother Yu, why don’t you go to the teahouse for a cup of tea?”
“Brother Zijing, please.”
At that time, Qingfeng Garden on the main street of the capital was very lively.
"Have you heard that the young master of the Zhang family in Liuzhou entered the Qingfeng Pavilion yesterday and missed today's palace examination because he played too late yesterday!"
"What? It turns out that there was that scream this morning Is it Mr. Zhang from Liuzhou? That voice sounds so real!” I heard it, it’s said that I haven’t gotten up yet!”
“Hiss—so fierce!”
The existence of Bagua attracts everyone’s attention, and because today is the palace examination, The lives of three people, led by Mr. Zhang, were revealed, including the incident in Wuzhen, Zhuozhou. Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.
"So this is not the first time for Mr. Zhang?"
"But he said before that he was framed?"
Now it seems that he was framed? It's obviously consensual!
The students who had just walked out of the palace were still talking about the contents of the palace examination just now, but after hearing this fresh gossip, they looked at each other.
