"When will the wheat be harvested?"

After admiring his achievements for a while, Emperor Yuyuan turned to ask the former gardener next to him, who had now become half the emperor's agricultural advisor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it will be done in five days.

There is a folk saying that when wheat is harvested, 10% will be harvested when it is 90% mature, and 10% will be discarded when it is 10% mature. If you wait until the wheat is fully mature before harvesting, the kernels on the ears will be lost. After harvesting, about 10% will be discarded.

This is a great loss for the people.

Of course, if Your Majesty is not in a hurry, you can wait until the wheat is very ripe before harvesting."

The gardener immediately answered truthfully.

"Since the people are harvesting at nine times of maturity, let's harvest at nine times of maturity. All harvesting and threshing tools must be prepared in advance. I will harvest it myself when the time comes."

"promise!"

Five days is really not that long, it arrived after five sunrises and moonsets. Emperor Yuyuan didn't sleep well the night before. He even woke up at three o'clock in the morning that morning and stayed up until just after four o'clock. , then he couldn't bear his temper anymore, so he lit a lantern and started harvesting.

How to describe it, it was just a group of palace maids and eunuchs carrying dozens of lanterns, surrounding the edge of the three-thirds of the land.

Emperor Yuyuan, on the other hand, did not allow anyone to help.

Working hard over there to harvest.

After harvesting, the threshing process was not done by others. Even the final weighing was done by him personally. The final weight was two hundred and seventy kilograms. Considering that there was only three-thirds of the land, so The calculated yield per mu is about 900 kilograms.

"Hahaha, nine hundred catties, nine hundred catties!

Blessed by our ancestors and protected by Shennong, nine hundred catties!"

As soon as the output was calculated, Emperor Yuyuan burst out laughing excitedly. His laughter was so exaggerated that the people waiting around him were a little afraid that he might lose his mind. Just like Fan Jin who won the imperial examination, he was so happy that he lost his mind.

Fortunately, he is an emperor.

It's not that I can't stand the stimulation.

After laughing for a few minutes, he immediately ordered:

"Someone, bring these baskets of wheat.

Come to court with me!"

After saying that, he strode majestically out of the imperial garden and prepared to go to court. However, he was both harvesting and threshing, so he did waste a lot of time.

So when he arrived at the government hall.

The officials have been waiting for him for almost half an hour.

At the same time, some officials immediately stood up to report, not to impeach other officials, but simply to say that Emperor Yuyuan came too late and was not diligent in his duties.

There is even a quote from a poem about kings not going to court early.

Normally, Emperor Yuyuan could only hold it in even if he was angry in his heart. After all, for the sake of his reputation as the Holy Son of Heaven, he would not be too harsh on officials, but today was different. Today he was delayed by business matters.

This is a business matter that is a hundred times more important than the previous court.

So he coughed dryly and immediately smiled:

"I went to court a little late today, and I didn't waste time in vain. I deliberately left you guys alone. I woke up before dawn, and started lighting lamps and working as soon as I woke up.

All the wheat I planted in the Imperial Garden has been harvested, and the grains have also been threshed and weighed.

It can be considered as experiencing the hard work of farmers.

Someone, bring up those baskets of wheat!"

“These are all the fruits of my own efforts.

I have never done anything to others!"

As Emperor Yuyuan finished speaking, the eunuchs waiting outside quickly moved the wheat that he had personally brought to the center. At the same time, the officials could not say anything more. After all, food is the most important thing for the people, and the country With agriculture as the foundation, the emperor personally did the farming, harvesting and threshing, which was the best way to encourage farmers.

It's too late to praise, how can we criticize harshly?

Those officials who knew about the donation of improved seeds half a year ago, looked at Emperor Yuyuan's beaming expression, and immediately guessed that the extremely high yield mentioned in the Jinling Prefecture's memorial was probably not false.

So everyone immediately congratulated directly.

Or ask how much the output is.

When Emperor Yuyuan saw this, he was very happy to sit on the dragon throne and tell the ministers below about his hard work during this period, the difficulties of farmers, the specific output, and that he had given away all the remaining seeds.

He went to Huangzhuang to plant the seeds, and asked the officials to go to Huangzhuang with him later and harvest the crops themselves if they had nothing to do.

Afterwards, it is also good to prepare for the promotion of improved varieties.

Then of course came the congratulations from all the officials.

Either it's auspicious, or it's God's blessing and the emperor's sage. In short, to be so praised by them, the credit of Ding Yun and others is secondary.

Fortunately, Emperor Yuyuan was not stunned yet.

After being overjoyed, he began to draw up a decree, mainly to reward Yunqi, Ding Yun and her fictional mother. Among them, Ding Yun's deceased mother received the highest reward.

Directly grant him the right to enjoy the Shennong Temple.

That is to build another hall for her in Shennong temples across the country, where she can be enshrined as a deity and enjoy the worship of all people.

Yunqi was awarded the title of Yuanjun.

He was given various benefits such as thousands of acres of fertile land.

Ding Yun's side had no seals, and if he added more, he would have to be called the Holy Mother, so he only gave some more gold, silver, and jewels, and some gold medals, such as being exempted from death if he doesn't worship you.

special rewards.

Because the recipients of the rewards were all women, and the content of the rewards did not include titles such as titles of marquises or prime ministers, all the officials basically had no objections to this and all agreed. Therefore, Emperor Yuyuan's imperial edict was naturally confirmed.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of officials went to court.

Go to Huangzhuang to harvest together and witness the high-yielding grain seeds.

The eunuch who announced the decree was working hard to hand over the corresponding rewards and imperial edicts to the parties concerned. At the same time, he was also responsible for ensuring that Ding Yun's mother deserved to enjoy the decree of Shennong Temple.

Just because of the relatively long distance and Ding Yun's somewhat unpredictable whereabouts, Yunqi Nvguan's side received the imperial edict and reward five days later, but Ding Yun's side did not receive it until more than a month later.

For Ding Yun and others, this matter.

In fact, I'm not necessarily very happy. At most, I feel like the thing I did half a year ago has finally settled.

No need to worry about it all the time.

Everything else basically doesn't matter.

After accepting the imperial edict and reward, the two of them were still busy with their own affairs as before.

However, people all over the world are talking about it a lot.

After most people learned about the relevant situation, they were first grateful, and then hurriedly asked for information, asking where to buy high-yielding grain seeds, etc. In addition, the incense in Taoist temples was much stronger than before.

After all, everyone already knows that it was two female crowns who developed high-yielding grains. The Taoist temple where they are located is too far away, and it is difficult for ordinary people to travel across mountains and rivers to offer incense and thank them. So they can only go to the nearby Taoist temple as much as possible, so

The Taoist temple is full of incense.

Of course, this is a foreigner.

For Jinling locals, the crowd almost overwhelmed the Nanhua Temple. It was not until Yunqi Women's Crown was so noisy that she never showed up again, and the overall situation eased a little.

But anyway.

The entire Taoist sect has indeed benefited greatly from this.

Those Taoist priests who were originally dissatisfied with the two girls being awarded the title of Taoist Yuanjun, no one dared to say any harsh words anymore. After all, it was a great achievement that could truly make the people of the world not hungry and save millions of sentient beings.

Why can't he be granted the title of Lord Yuan?

Even if the imperial court does not seal it.

I'm afraid people all over the world will also voluntarily offer sacrifices.
