The next day, just after breakfast, the distinguished guests got off their sedan chairs in front of Fangjiazhuang.
King Jin is here.
He came happily. It was rare that he accepted an errand from his father, but he still came to meet a famous person like Mr. Fang.
Yes, even if Fang Jue has no fame and has never written any articles, he is already a famous person in the world.
The publicity of Emperor Zun Pavilion is really too good.
"I've met Your Highness." A prince came, and no matter how much he asked, he should be greeted at the door.
"Mr. Fang, there is no need to be too polite. With your reputation, even my father will respect you, so there is no need to offend me."
The King of Jin also had a good mind, and as soon as he arrived, he put himself on the level of a polite and virtuous corporal.
He did not look down on this famous person in the world with the dignity of a prince to show his noble status.
Fang Jue likes to deal with such smart people who don't like to bully others.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin speaks like this, and the outside world is afraid that he will talk about ordinary people, and has no respect for the royal family."
King Jin said nonchalantly: "Sir, you are so detached from the world, why should you care about the whispers among people?"
"I have to pay attention to it," Fang Jue smiled, "The will of the people is up to the sky, so we must pay attention to it."
"I have learned a lesson..." King Jin cupped his hands and said seriously.
Naturally, guests cannot be entertained in the court, so Fang Jue invited the King of Jin and entered the main hall.
Logically speaking, guests should be entertained in the living room, but just after Fang Jue left Zhuangzi, he placed a lot of sundries in the living room, making it difficult to use them.
"Is this the main hall?"
Seeing the memorial tablet to worship the sky, King Jin was surprised and said.
"Your Highness is laughing. Fang has just arrived in Beijing and has not yet tidied up..."
But King Jin smiled and said: "I am really flattered..."
After chatting for a while, the two sat across from each other with a pot of tea in the middle.
King Jin was accompanied by a guard, and beside Fang Jue was Dian Yi.
The guard was a little nervous, and the hand holding the saber was sweating a lot. On the other hand, Noiichi was much calmer, and there was nothing to worry about.
"This is the world-famous Dian Daxia who was recently listed on the master list, right?"
King Jin asked casually.
Dian nodded slightly, and Fang Jue also said: "Exactly."
"Such a hero can personally protect Mr. Fang, which shows the great love that Emperor Zun Pavilion has for Mr. Fang..."
Fang Jue smiled: "Yes, the old Pavilion Master doesn't worry about me traveling alone. This whole journey is all thanks to Dian Yi's escort."
"Sir, if he can be protected by such a master, his reputation as a genius in the world must be well-deserved... Oh, I almost forgot that the things that my husband gave to Commander Mo and Chief Xiao are enough..."
After talking for a long time, I got to the point.
This is the custom in Jinling.
Hypocritical, lazy, and tactful.
In fact, every sentence has a purpose and is laid out in layers so that it won’t make people feel too abrupt.
After some exploration, King Jin got the information he wanted.
Fang Jue did have a close relationship with Emperor Zun Pavilion, and Dian Yi was indeed from Emperor Zun Pavilion.
Fang Jue can reveal all this information and even hopes that more people will know about it.
Fang Jue and the King of Jin pretended to be at odds with each other. He didn't mention anything serious, and he didn't mention it either. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry.
However, King Jin couldn't control himself. He came with a mission and didn't dare to keep playing dumb with Fang Jue.
Then he finally spoke:
"Actually, I came here today to disturb you, firstly because of my father's order, and also because I want to see Mr. Fang with my own eyes."
"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, should ask something on behalf of His Majesty, right?" Fang Jue drank tea leisurely.
Seeing that Fang felt like this, the King of Jin said: "Sir, of course you understand... As for corn and potatoes, sir, should you know the details?"
"Please tell me in detail so that I can go back and deliver the mission..."
He is worthy of being a prince.
After saying this, he placed himself very low, with an attitude of asking for advice, which was hard for others to reject.
Fang Jue naturally did not intend to hide it and said bluntly:
"The yield of corn per mu is about 800 jins, and the yield of potatoes per acre is about 3,000 jins."
It's a conservative figure.
This is something that must be heard by Datian. If you blow too much and you won't be able to produce enough, you'll be deceiving the emperor.
If breeding time is not enough, this yield can be doubled again.
However, without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the output cannot be compared with modern times. However, the fertile land here is not over-exploited, and some output can be increased.
"What?"
"Eight hundred...three thousand catties!"
No matter how prepared King Rao of Jin was, he could no longer hold his ground at this time.
The guard behind him glared and almost dislocated his jaw.
For people in this era, this kind of output is really a bit scary.
Fang Jue regretted: "It's a pity that I got these things not long ago, and the breeding time was not long enough, otherwise I could have gained hundreds of kilograms..."
"Shocked..." King Jin was stunned.
Seeing this, Fang Jue continued in a calm tone:
"Oh, by the way, corn and potatoes can be grown twice a year..."
"What!?" King Jin shouted. Naturally, he was not angry, but incredulous.
Are you sure you're not bragging?
"Master, you remembered wrongly. If potatoes are sown in separate branches, they can be grown for three seasons." Noriichi said as if to remind him.
However, the master and servant of King Jin lived there.
The two of them looked at each other and were greatly shocked.
"cough……"
It took quite a while before King Jin could speak. He felt as if his tongue had just been cut out.
When he spoke at this time, his voice was trembling: "Mr. Fang... My father is personally paying attention to this matter, so I don't dare to lie!"
"How dare I, the next commoner, deceive His Highness? If you don't believe me, you can write to Emperor Zun Pavilion...I believe the old Pavilion Master will be happy to give you the answer at a suitable price."
"No, that's not necessary...it's not that I don't trust you sir, it's just...too shocking!"
After King Jin calmed down a little, he spat again and said with shame: "I have never seen the world, sir, I made you laugh."
As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a brocade handkerchief.
Fang Jue smiled:
"Your Highness can still sit still. When I first found these things, I jumped up excitedly."
"No, I almost jumped on the roof." Noriichi said with a finishing blow.
It's a rare time to tease the young master.
At that time, I thought that the young master was stupid, but now it seems that the young master is really a god from heaven... After all, when he saw corn and potatoes for the first time, the young master felt like a treasure, and the yield had not been tested at that time.
Dianyi naturally didn't expect that Fang Jue had seen the answer.
"Haha...Mr. Fang is young and hot-blooded, and I guess he is also a sweetheart." King Jin said with a smile.
…
Royal study room.
"wrong……"
Xiao Pingsi, who was looking at the march map, looked around Qinzhou and was suddenly startled after a while.
"Then Yue Pingchuan only maintains a few thousand private troops. He should know that no matter how elite he is, he will never succeed..."
From Qinzhou to the capital, no matter how slow the response of the parties is, tens of thousands of troops can still be assembled within half a month.
If it had been longer, more than 200,000 people would have been able to come to King Qin.
No matter how naive Yue Pingchuan was, he wouldn't think that one of his subordinates could equal ten, right?
Still in the midst of a tough battle.
"If my Black Dragon Cavalry happens to be near Qinzhou, and the local military and horse department does not respond in time, with Yue Pingchuan's ability, it may be possible to reach beyond the capital along the way... Kaizhou is already the limit."
"How dare he raise troops?"
"He must have thought he had a chance of winning... So who is his accomplice?"
There is an accomplice!
Although Xiao Pingsi had suspected it for a long time, he realized at this moment that this was not a possibility, but a reality.
"What is the Ministry of War doing? You haven't suspected it yet?"
"Who dares to join forces with this guy... Then this person must also have great power..."
"Is it Li Lin from Kaizhou or the capital..."
Xiao Pingsi has always prepared for a rainy day. He likes to be prepared for everything so as not to be caught off guard.
Naturally, he suspected that he had arrived in the capital.
Because Yue Pingchuan alone, even if there are accomplices along the way, they cannot affect the capital.
There are 80,000 Jinling Forbidden Army, 60,000 Xishan Yulin Army outside the city, 5,000 patrol camps, 1,000 Jingzhao Yin Mansion, 800 Xuanjian Division Mansion soldiers... plus the Ministry of War and other yamen and mansions, how can we do it?
Then gather a few thousand more troops.
Even if Yue Pingchuan recruits soldiers and horses along the way, it is impossible to bring more than 100,000 people.
In a siege battle, there is no way to win without cooperation from inside and outside, or with multiple numbers of troops and horses.
It was impossible for Yue Pingchuan to capture Jinling quickly.
And once a protracted battle breaks out in Jinling, and troops from all sides gather in the capital to support King Qin, Yue Pingchuan will definitely be defeated!
Unless there is his accomplice in Beijing, and once this accomplice also attacks, Yue Pingchuan will feel that he has a chance of winning.
On the list of famous generals in Emperor Zun Pavilion, Yue Pingchuan ranked tenth. Xiao Pingsi didn't believe that Yue Pingchuan rebelled just because his brain got hot.
If he is not sure, this person will definitely destroy the evidence, kill people, silence them, and go into hiding again... The governor's solution is probably just right.
"Who could it be..."
Xiao Pingsi's face looked very ugly, and the names of several military generals in the capital flashed in his mind. No matter which one wanted to rebel, he found it difficult to accept it.
They are all veterans who have been favored by you and are extremely favored. Why are you separated from me...
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Pingsi suddenly said: "Here comes someone!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Xia, Minister of War, would like to see you..." Wang Feng suddenly spoke.
"Well? When did Xia Song come?"
"I was waiting outside the palace early. I didn't come in because I didn't dare to disturb His Majesty's thoughts." Wang Feng explained.
Xiao Pingsi snorted coldly: "It's about the country, the country, how dare you neglect it!"
This Xia Song has always been tactful and tactful. I am afraid he was deliberately unprepared and wanted me to figure it out first... and then he would act with the benefit of hindsight.
It is indeed useful on weekdays, but Xiao Pingsi is not a person who ignores the important and the important. A moment's delay at this time may put the country in turmoil.
"..."
Wang Feng was startled and thought to himself, Mr. Xia, you are on the wrong side of the horse this time.
