Chapter 410 Give Shangfang the Sword Again
"You can also say such nonsense as to increase the treasury for me."
"You took the melons from your Taoyuan County greenhouse to deceive my ministers. Do you think I don't know? Others have never seen it. I saw it the first time I went to Taoyuan County. I... I guess it right." Emperor Jing looked like this
Some are unfathomable.
Emperor Jing had thought for a while just now, there should be no aphrodisiac.
Fang Zheng sent things to the palace every now and then. Such a good thing has been delivered to him long ago!
This must be the greenhouse in Taoyuan County!
It turned out that I was angry because of the Ministry of Revenue check and was angry with my son! Fortunately, it had nothing to do with me...
Fang Zhengyi took a deep breath: "Your Majesty is really smart and has a torch. I really admire him from the bottom of my heart! Yes, it's the melon in the greenhouse."
Emperor Jing asked, "Why didn't this thing be taken out earlier? Can this greenhouse grow cold melons in winter? Can it be planted other than melons?"
"It should...almost of them can be grown, but the quality may not be that good."
"If greenhouses are promoted, wouldn't they be able to cultivate in winter?"
Although sweet potatoes are good, they are still poor in serving as staple food. As an emperor, they obviously attach more importance to food.
Fang Zhengyi replied: "No! Your Majesty, the technology of the greenhouse was immature in the early years, and even if the cost is high now, it is not cost-effective to grow grain, but if you grow some vegetables to provide them to wealthy families in Beijing in winter, there is no problem."
Although glass is ordinary in later generations, it is still very costly to produce high-quality glass to make greenhouses.
Taoyuan County has paid a lot of money to grow vegetables in greenhouses.
Emperor Jing looked at the silver on the table and narrowed his eyes: "It is also great to be able to grow vegetables. Why not set a piece of land for you in the eastern suburbs? If you send someone to build a greenhouse to grow fruits and vegetables, how much money do you need?"
Looking at Emperor Jing’s small movements, Fang Zhengyi suddenly understood.
I thought Your Majesty had changed! Isn’t this just for money? I want to enrich my small treasury!
"Leave this matter to me! Your Majesty has given it to me, so I have no face to ask for money."
"It's just... except for growing vegetables in greenhouses, can I use land to do other things?"
The eastern suburbs are not far from the capital, and the conditions are average and there are also mountains.
However, as long as the road is built and opened to the capital, the location is naturally excellent.
The area is large enough, and you can build a few factories and create some high-end farmhouses or something.
I didn’t expect that today I was not scolded, but also had unexpected surprises!
"Well, of course, it's OK. It's a great achievement to allow the people in the city to eat fruits and vegetables in winter."
"Yes, yes, your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and he is really worried about the people!"
Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows: "Don't be there to make me sarcastic!"
"When it comes to serious business, the Ministry of Revenue re-checked the account book this time and found no problems, but how could there be no problems in the local area?"
"The person behind Liu Xun is so hidden, it has become a thorn in my heart. If this thorn cannot be pulled out, I will be uneasy for a day!"
"Let you check it out, have you started doing it?"
Fang Zheng nodded and agreed: "I have sent someone there, I must have arrived in Jianjiang."
"But... this matter will probably be difficult to achieve a result in a while."
Emperor Jing closed his eyes and sighed: "I don't know that this matter is indeed difficult, but I believe in your ability."
"Actually, there are other hidden concerns about this matter. Although there is no evidence, I am worried that I will contact the salt merchants in Qianguo."
Fang Zhengyi said in confusion: "Your Majesty, for such a major event in the Salt Administration, have the salt merchants in Ganguo not been removed?"
Salt merchants are so important, according to common sense, it is a routine operation to eliminate old forces.
Emperor Jing shook his head: "When the two countries were fighting, I led my personal army to the hinterland of Ganguo. Although the other side retreated step by step, our army was close to the end of its strength."
"Fortunately, the salt merchant turned against him and took out a large sum of silver to serve as military support to win this great victory."
"So I have always been generous to those salt merchants, and even distributed some salt inlets north of Jianjiang to them."
"On the other hand, the local power of salt merchants is complicated and no one can replace them in a short period of time."
"At that time, the old land of the country still needed to appease the people's hearts and should not be turbulent, so we can't take action!"
Emperor Jing was silent for a while and continued: "Those salt merchants only have interests in their eyes. They can betray the country, and naturally they may betray me."
"And I have also heard a lot of news about salt merchants in the south over the years. It is said that salt merchants are doing things wrong in the local area and are lawless. They can take this opportunity to rectify them."
"The people you sent out can do things conveniently. Do you need me to provide further convenience?"
Fang Zhengyi shook his head and said, "I have handed over all my seals to them, so there should be no obstacles."
Emperor Jing laughed in silence: "You trust the people below you very much! Who sent you to do it?"
"Xie Xian, Your Majesty has seen him in Jianjiang at the beginning."
"Well... I have an impression that this person has an outstanding memory and is a talented person. But after all, he is a civilian. What if he doesn't have enough courage and cannot solve the problem?"
Fang Zheng frowned: "If you really encounter a tough guy, then I can only go there in person."
This trip will definitely take it in at least half a year. If there is no need, he will really not want to go out this far.
"When I go out, I want to ask Your Majesty for something. When the Shangfang sword was broken, Your Majesty said to give me another one. Look..." Fang Zhengyi's expression began to become shy.
Emperor Jing was suddenly stunned, and then smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to remember it in my heart. Come on, give me the sword."
The guards pointed at by Emperor Jing immediately stepped forward, untied the sword and placed it on the imperial case.
"Please use this sword."
"Ah...this..."
Fang Zhengyi was stunned. What a big road product used in the palace, do you use this as a Shangfang sword for me?
How can I brag when I go out?
When my colleagues saw this, I thought I had entered the palace as a security guard!
Seeing his expression, Emperor Jing sneered: "What? I think the sword I gave is not good?"
"What good sword do you want when you are making trouble in the palace with the prince?"
"Don't be picky, the sword I gave is Shangfang's sword. I'm going to waste the good things I give you. Please use this!"
Fang Zhengyi nodded helplessly.
I didn't expect to be so casual, just make do with it!
As long as the emperor endorses it.
"If your Majesty is fine, I will sue you first. I will go and see how the prince is doing."
Emperor Jing showed disdain: "A birds of a feather, don't be annoying here!"
Fang Zhengyi smiled, nodded and turned around and left.
Chapter completed!
