"This year is a good harvest year. Even if next year's harvest fails, they can get through this year's grain storage with just a little bit of food. Besides, there is also relief from the imperial court. How can they starve to death all over the place?"
"If we didn't have the help of grain merchants at that time, how could we transport grain to various places?"
Zhao Jin frowned coldly, raised his eyelids and mocked: "Why, in your eyes, the only way to transport food is to rely on water transport by grain merchants? Could it be that the imperial court is powerless to transport food?"
"So that you have to look at the faces of grain merchants and send people's blood to them to suck?"
Those who oppose it are simply ridiculous!
Although Zhao Jin seldom spoke in the court on weekdays and was mostly silent, but when he quarreled with them, he was very sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued.
The courtiers who came from aristocratic families were almost speechless.
The courtiers who agreed to Li Shi's suggestions soon began to quarrel with those people in the court, with Zhao Jin as the center.
Zhao Qian was on top, his temples twitching.
"That's enough!" The emperor yelled angrily, causing both parties to shut up.
The court hall fell silent for an instant, and everyone stood back to their seats.
Zhao Qian slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, "You are making so much noise, how can you behave like this?!"
After scolding the man severely, Zhao Qiancai said: "What the Prime Minister said is reasonable. We must prevent grain merchants from hoarding goods because of this. The price restrictions implemented by Xuanpinghou in Yunzhou County are very good. After going down, Xuanpinghou plans to Give me a detailed charter."
"yes."
After Zhao Jin agreed, he realized something was wrong.
How could those old foxes say that just now?
Any emperor would be angry if he heard these words.
Zhao Qian's eyes swept over the courtiers coldly, "I don't want to hear such words again, for fear of offending the grain merchants!"
Following Zhao Qian's sharp shout, those courtiers who had just kept saying not to offend the grain merchants suddenly turned pale.
How could they just...
Xu You, who was standing in front, had his eyes narrowed slightly and looked a little regretful.
The courtiers all listened quietly to the lecture, and Zhao Qian felt a little calmer now, "The matter of grain and seed is indeed a problem. Do you have any good suggestions?"
If the problem of grain types can be solved, the grain problem can also be solved.
Zhao Jin frowned and stood up, "Your Majesty, I discovered a crop in Yunzhou County before, called potatoes. One acre of potatoes can produce ten stones of food."
"I have asked them to keep all the potatoes harvested this year as food seeds. Although the ones that can be spread out may not be enough, the food aspect should be able to cope with it."
"Ten stones?!" Zhao Qian stood up immediately and lost his composure!
One acre of land, ten stones of grain, which is several times the amount of ordinary grain!
Zhao Qian's breathing became heavier and he asked repeatedly: "Xuan Pinghou, are you exaggerating at this time?"
"I don't dare." Zhao Jin raised his head and looked at Zhao Qian, "Everything I just said is true."
All the court officials were completely stunned.
After Cen Qianyi came to his senses, he looked excited and said, "Your Majesty, this is God blessing our country, Zhao!"
"With such a magical object, the food problem can be easily solved! And in the future, our country, Zhao, will have fewer famines!"
All the ministers were very excited.
Even after the court meeting ended, many people came to Zhao Jin one after another to express their compliments.
After going to court, Zhao Jin immediately sent a message to Wei Liang and Qi Yunche, asking them to distribute a batch of potatoes and transport them to Bianzhou.
After receiving Zhao Jin's letter, Wei Liang and Qi Yunche ensured that each household had enough grain and immediately transported the remaining potatoes to Bianzhou City.
Until now, Zhao Qian completely believed what Zhao Jin said that one acre of land could produce more than ten shi of grain.
…
The time is approaching the New Year's Eve, and the people in the shops and markets are becoming more and more lively, with more and more red, festive, and more and more ornaments for the New Year.
Every time Zhao Jin goes to the market, he can feel that the meaning of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
The entire Hou Mansion also became busy.
After Zhao Jin came to Zhao State, he celebrated the New Year for the first time in the government office in Yunzhou. Although the place where he was at that time was a place of residence, it was also a place of office.
Therefore, it is not considered a home. Although it is still festive during the Chinese New Year, it lacks some flavor.
Today, the Hou Mansion is still Zhao Jin's home. Seeing the Hou Mansion decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, Zhao Jin pursed his lips and smiled, which was a different feeling.
On New Year's Eve, as usual, a big banquet was held in the palace, and the king and his ministers enjoyed it together.
Zhao Jin is a third-rank official and a first-rank founding lord, so Zhao Jin must attend the banquet.
This kind of palace banquet can be attended by family members.
But at first, Zhao Jin was not willing to let Chu Weiqing appear in the public eye. He had not yet established a firm foothold, and during this period, he had made too many enemies.
Once the prince and others set their sights on Ah Qing, it would be really bad.
As for Mrs. Ning, Zhao Jin now doubts the relationship between Zhao Qian and his mother. Before it is confirmed, he cannot let Zhao Qian know that his mother is still alive.
In the end, Zhao Jin entered the palace alone.
The carriage stopped at the second gate of the palace, and then you had to go in on foot.
Recently, the royal family of Zhao Jin was prosperous. When the eunuch saw Zhao Jin, he immediately enthusiastically led him there.
Tonight's palace banquet was held in a palace in the palace.
When Zhao Jin arrived, many courtiers had already arrived.
"Master Marquis, your place is here."
"Thank you."
The eunuch was a little flattered and said quickly: "It should be."
Many courtiers had already started chatting, and the sound of Zhao Jin coming in attracted the attention of many people.
"Hou Xuanping."
Many courtiers came to greet Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin finally sent the man away. He looked up and saw a man who was obviously a military general walking over.
"Marquis Xuanping, I have long admired your name."
Zhao Jin stood up and bowed with his hands, and said with a little hesitation: "I don't know who the general is..."
Looking at the other person's face, he always felt that it was somewhat familiar.
"I am Junche's father. I would like to ask Marquis Xuanping to take care of Junche." Qi Jiahan said to Zhao Jin, cupping his fists.
Only then did Zhao Jin know why he felt that the other party's appearance was familiar. It turned out to be Qi Yunche's father, General Qi Jiahan.
"General Qi's words are serious. Junche helped me a lot in Yunzhou."
Qi Jiahan waved his hand, "That boy, I know very well that he has the ability, but his temperament needs more training and training."
"Junche is already much better than many people. It is true that the father of a tiger has no dog son."
Although Qi Jiahan said he disliked Qi Yunche's temper, how could a father be unhappy when his son was praised?
During the conversation, Zhao Jin discovered that Qi Jiahan had a very good temperament.
