Chapter 2630 Autumn Harvest (Part 2)
The Sinong Temple official was flushed and excited: "Your Majesty, it's out! The yield is out!"
Dou Jing's heart was filled with anger. He looked at this official under his subordinates and cursed inwardly that he was useless. He wished he could go up and kick him over. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "How is it appropriate to panic in front of Your Majesty? How much is the yield per mu? Quickly tell me. Come!”
The official didn't feel the anger coming from the senior official at all. He wiped his face, and the dirt on his hands stained his face. Then he raised three fingers and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Three stones! Three stones, Your Majesty!" ”
There was a deathly silence all around.
Everyone was stunned and looked in disbelief.
Guanzhong has always been a place of productivity. The eight rivers near Gyeonggi Province are surrounded by fertile soil. It has been one of the most productive areas in the world since history. But even in the best years, the average yield per mu is only a little more than one stone, and has never reached one and a half stones.
Now the yield of this cornfield has actually reached three stones? !
Even if this is a field managed by Fang Jun and his meticulous cooking techniques are excellent, it is impossible for everyone in the world to imitate it, but even if it is cut in half, it is still a stone and a half!
What's particularly important is that this cornfield is only on a hillside and is relatively barren, so it is not the best fertile land. Doesn't it mean that if corn is grown in inferior fields all over the world, it can yield more than one stone?
That is a great joy!
However, His Majesty Li Er is the emperor after all, and the Nine-Five Supreme Lord's self-cultivation is comparable to that of petty officials. Although his heart is ups and downs, his face remains as calm as ever. He strokes his beard and points to a piece of prime farmland at the foot of the mountain near the stream. , said: "Go quickly and harvest that land, calculate the yield, and report it to me!"
"Here!"
This time, before the official could say anything, Dou Jing raised his neck and responded. The dozens of years old man quickly rushed towards the field at the foot of the mountain with his men.
Being so productive is a big deal! Even if Fang Jun cooked it by himself, as the Minister of Agriculture, he can naturally enjoy this honor. It is the right thing to reward Fang Jun. He, the Minister of Agriculture, who is in charge of the world's agriculture, can naturally share it. A cup of soup.
Such achievements must not be taken away by others!
……
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said to the two people in front of him who were still bending down to salute: "Get up and come with me to take a look."
"Here!"
The two hurriedly got up and walked into the cornfield with His Majesty Li Er behind.
Fang Jun walked a few steps and found that there seemed to be a gaze falling on him. When he turned around, he saw a familiar face. The two looked at each other. The man smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and saluted: "Xinfeng, the official." Order Li Yifu to pay a visit to Fang Shaobao.”
Fang Jun asked curiously: "When will Brother Li be transferred to Xinfeng?"
Li Yifu was still the Wannian Ling before, but at some point Xinfeng was transferred to serve as the county magistrate. Although they are all county magistrates, their ranks and status are very different. The county magistrates of Wannian and Chang'an counties are high-ranking, with an official rank of fifth rank. Even the office yamen is separated from Jingzhao Mansion by a wall, so there is no doubt about their political status.
Xinfeng is a small county in Guanzhong, close to the Weishui River and adjacent to Lishan Mountain. The land of Fang Jun's farm belongs to Xinfeng. However, because the emperor gave it to Fang Jun as private land, it was renamed from Xinfeng. Rule out.
Although Xinfeng is also close to the capital, its political status is definitely not on the same level as Wannian and Chang'an. Wannian became Xinfeng, which is a proper downgrade by more than one level...
Li Yifu smiled bitterly and said: "It's exactly what happened in the past two months. Fang Shaobaogui is busy with personnel, so naturally he won't care about these trivial things."
My heart is blocked, why don’t I just thank you for it?
When I recommended myself as a disciple, I was willing to work like a cow or a horse, but you looked down on me, so I had to choose a thigh to hold on to as an aid to the DPRK. In the end, I chose Jin Wang Li Zhi. Within a few days, Jin Wang Li Zhi was captured by His Majesty Li Er. If we are banned, small shrimps like us will naturally fall apart and scatter.
Being suppressed is inevitable.
In the end, instead of being able to go any further, he was reprimanded and pushed out of Beijing, and the Wannian Order became the Xinfeng Order...
He also received news today that the corn brought back by Fang Jun from overseas would be harvested today, so he got up early and brought people here. After all, this farm is also within the boundary of Xinfeng. Although he has no jurisdiction under the Xinfeng Order, being there to witness the harvest of new crops is enough to prove that he is diligent in government affairs.
Furthermore, I also want to take the opportunity to repair my relationship with Fang Jun. Why did I have a relationship with him before? If he chases me and is willing to be a dog and a horse, there is always a glimmer of hope, right?
As a result, when we got to the bottom of the mountain, we found that all the roads up the mountain had been blocked by the soldiers of Youtun Guard, and they would not let him go no matter what he said.
Fortunately, it happened that His Majesty Li Er came to Lishan with his imperial guards. He still had some impression of him, the former Wannian Order, so he handed him over for personal questioning and found out that he was here to observe the harvesting of new crops. If it works, Yes, we will vigorously promote it in Xinfeng next year. I thought he was a good official who was dedicated to his work, so I brought him up with him...
Fang Jun could naturally understand the resentment behind Li Yifu's bitter smile.
However, he didn't have much sympathy. What he was thinking about was that this person once worshiped King Jin and was suppressed because King Jin was imprisoned. Now that King Jin has lifted the ban, he will definitely take this person under his disciple again. , and because of this experience of "sympathizing with each other", I trust Li Yifu more and more.
This man is a famous traitor in history. But none of the traitors is simple. A must-have is a deep scheming mind. Otherwise, he will be killed after just doing a few bad things. How can he be a traitor and leave a lasting legacy in history? Name?
It would be extremely harmful for such a person to return to the service of the King of Jin.
After all, although Guanlong's group has a profound background, they lack the ability to handle government affairs. If Li Yifu provides advice to the King of Jin, the combat effectiveness of the King of Jin will probably increase sharply...
After thinking about it, Fang Jun showed a look of surprise, nodded and said: "I see, this way we are getting closer. We are also old friends after all. When we have nothing to do, we will come over to the farm for a walk." Let’s just sit down and catch up on old times without seeing each other.”
Li Yifu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Please keep this in mind, I will definitely bother you a lot."
But he was complaining in his heart, what happened to Fang Jun? When he was thinking about turning to him, he looked down upon him for abandoning him; now that he has hit rock bottom, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who had regained his freedom two days ago, sent a letter saying that he would be used in a more important way, and he planned to swear allegiance to Jin to the death. King, but Fang Jun does this again...
He doesn't have much distinction between good and evil in his heart, and he only acts based on interests.
Although the King of Jin has regained his freedom and seems to have received some kind of promise from His Majesty, which has been very eye-catching recently, in the final analysis, the prince is the current crown prince, and people like Fang Jun are the ones with the best future. The risk on Wang's side is too great.
One side is stable income, the other side is high risk and high reward...how to choose?
This Fang Erlang always gives himself problems...
There were many people and many eyes, so Fang Jun naturally couldn't say much. He expressed his attitude of winning over in a few words, and also showed the good relationship between himself and Li Yifu to the people around him. Presumably, even if the King of Jin draws Li Yifu over in the future, he will still be able to win over Li Yifu. He must be cautious and dare not reuse it.
Ahead, His Majesty Li Er walked to a pile of corn, leaned over and picked up an ear, weighed it, held it in his heavy hand, looked at it carefully, and then tried to peel off the corn coat layer by layer, revealing the crystal-clear jade inside. After smelling the neatly arranged corn kernels, a sweet smell came into my nose. I looked back at Fang Jun and asked, "Can this be eaten directly?"
Fang Jun stepped forward and said: "Of course you can, but this thing is quite hard. It will be difficult for the stomach to digest after eating it raw, causing discomfort. It is better to eat it cooked."
His Majesty Li Er hummed, then held the corn cob and looked at it, put it to his mouth, and opened his mouth...
"Father! No!"
Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Just kidding, this is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the body of the Nine-Five Supreme True Dragon. If something goes wrong due to eating something by mistake, who can afford it?
His Majesty Li Er hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and took a bite.
Fang Jun regards this corn as more important than his life. Usually this field is heavily guarded and no one can even approach it, but he doesn’t believe that Fang Jun hasn’t eaten it secretly, so he dares to brag about what’s coming soon. It has become the most important food in the world, alongside rice, millet and wheat.
Since Fang Jun must have eaten it, what does it matter if he takes a bite?
When any new thing comes out, people in the world will look at it with caution and will not dare to approach it easily. He has just obtained the yield of this corn, and he will definitely promote it to the world on a large scale in the future. If the news spreads that he has eaten it himself, it will greatly promote the progress of the promotion.
Even the emperor dares to eat it, so what are you afraid of?
His teeth bit through the thin skin, and the thick pulp of the fruit entered his mouth instantly, and a sweet taste occupied his taste buds. His Majesty Li Er stared at it, nodded fiercely, and nodded and praised while chewing: "It's delicious! ”
It’s New Year’s Eve and I wish you all a happy New Year. For those who are fighting a desperate battle against the virus, I wish you an early victory and a happy family. God bless Wuhan, God bless China! ! !
