Wherever the star is, the clouds are auspicious, the dew is falling, the dipper is bright, the bells are rhythmic, the clothes are coming, the snow is auspicious, the rain is auspicious, the clouds are auspicious, the river is full of shells, the sea is bright pearls, the river is a horse picture, the Luo is a turtle book,
This is Dali!
Can a mortal offer a great gift?
It is almost impossible. Jingxing, a big star, looks like a frosty moon. It is born in the dark moon and helps the moon become bright. A king who is not private to others will see! These are things that cannot be controlled by human power.
Liu Egui was the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty, a saint who listened to politics behind the curtain and assisted the officials. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that Ye An offered a great gift. How could the courtiers not be shocked?
"This is an acre of produce, weighing several thousand kilograms! One is potatoes and the other is sweet potatoes. They can be grown in both cold and hot weather. I think this is our Emperor Song Darui!"
Liu E's words hit everyone's hearts like a bombshell, and a group of courtiers were speechless. Although some civil servants had received the news before, they never imagined that it would be so shocking!
When the servants kept carrying baskets of potatoes and sweet potatoes into the Daqing Hall, the shock of the courtiers had just begun.
There were more and more baskets in the palace, and the baskets were getting taller and taller. When they piled up like a mountain, the servants finally stopped and retreated sweating profusely.
This high "grain mountain" makes people dizzy when they look at it, but the officials of Sinong Temple, regardless of the lack of etiquette in front of the temple, pounced on the sweet potato and looked at the snow-white inside before biting it.
Watching them chewing, the others couldn't help but swallow.
A sweet mixed with yellowish juice flowed into the throat. After taking a few mouthfuls, the older Sinong Temple Prime Minister suddenly knelt down with his face in front of Zhulian in front of everyone's astonished eyes: "I am the Prime Minister of Sinong Temple Zhang Shuo.
Congratulations from the officials, congratulations to the saints, congratulations to the emperor and Song Dynasty!"
Seeing him grabbing the ground with his head, the young officials on the side quickly stepped forward to help him up, but Zhang Shuo pushed them away and said to Liu E: "Sage! This is not only auspicious, but it is actually the blessing of the Song Dynasty.
! I just wonder if the empress can try many miscellaneous things? I am willing to use the official land of Sinong Temple as a place for cultivation. "
Liu E smiled and said: "You don't need to tell me, I opened several acres of fields in the back garden, divided them into categories, and planted them based on the soil moisture. Potatoes have the lowest yield per mu under different moisture conditions.
No less than 3,000 jins, and up to 4,000 jins can be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have detailed books, and after the court is over, send them to Sinong Temple!"
Zhang Shuo said with some excitement: "This is so good. I will ask for leave from my empress and return to Sinong Temple to arrange the matter! Thousands of kilograms of grain per acre! This... this will prevent us from having a famine after the Song Dynasty!"
Just when Zhang Shuo was speaking incoherently, Lu Yijian, who was at the front among the courtiers, came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, God bless the Song Dynasty! Since good seeds have been sown in the palace, now it is time to spread them to other places.
Benefit all people!"
As Lu Yijian bowed down, all the courtiers followed suit and bowed. Now they understood the importance of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
This output alone is jaw-dropping. If planting is promoted, will there still be a shortage of food in the Song Dynasty?
The most important thing is that this auspicious event happened in the current dynasty, which means that everyone who participated in the dynasty meeting has made a contribution. Who wouldn’t continue to support the promotion?
They had heard the auspicious news before, but most of them scoffed at the idea of a thousand kilograms of grain per mu. After all, there was no such grain in the world, and it was simply nonsense.
Of course, in the eyes of Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian and other high-ranking officials, the so-called auspicious theory was just a gimmick for Liu E to gain control of the country and to consolidate her own power.
However, he never expected that what Ye An presented was two brand new grains. The yield was unimaginably high. Looking at the mountains of grains piled up in the palace, most people were excited, but only a small number of people were excited.
My mood hit rock bottom.
Wang Zeng slowly opened his mouth and said: "I think it's inappropriate to report this to the empress! A yield of several thousand kilograms per mu is really auspicious! But it's a little inappropriate to generalize it so quickly!"
Even Ye An didn't expect that anyone besides himself would stand up to oppose, and looked at Wang Zeng, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, in surprise.
"Although potatoes and sweet potatoes are good, the yield per mu is too high. Although it can reduce the risk of famine in the Song Dynasty, if we promote it rashly now, I am afraid it will make the people suspicious. Moreover, the yield per mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes is high and the quantity is large. It is inevitable that
It will have an impact on the grain... I think we should be cautious and do it!"
Wang Zeng's words were polite and polite, not only from the benefits that auspiciousness brought to the Song Dynasty, but also from the possible disadvantages.
At this time, among the military generals, Cao Lili, who was the privy envoy, came out and said: "I agree with what Wang Xianggong said, and if these sweet potatoes and potatoes are exiled to other dynasties, then... The annual grain production of Dangxiang land is unknown.
The land of Bei Liao is even more unimaginable, please think twice!"
For a time, everyone was frightened by Cao Cao's point of view. Auspiciousness was auspicious in the Song Dynasty, but it would not be auspicious if it fell into the hands of Dangxiang or the Khitans!
"How can the auspiciousness of a thousand catties of yield per acre be allowed to perish in the treasury?!"
"What if the Khitans have to go?!"
"This is an act that benefits all people in the world!"
"If it gets into the hands of Dangxiang people and Liao people, it will be harmful to the people!"
Ye An looked at the two groups of people in the court who were quarreling with each other. Oh, and the neutral faction who neither supported nor opposed it was slightly speechless. It seemed that no matter in the past dynasties, political disputes could not be avoided.
However, in Ye An's view, such a scene was wonderful. Some people even shouted "greetings" to the family members of the opposition at the top of their lungs. Various vulgar slang words also emerged in endlessly.
Ye An put his hands into his wide cuffs and stood next to Xuan Chengzi, leaning against the palace pillars to watch the show. Who said that all literati are gentlemen?
Look at those civil servants holding wat tablets and gesticulating with each other? They are not weak at all.
Even some military generals were scolded by civil servants who pointed their noses with wat boards as soon as they expressed their opinions. However, such a slightly absurd thing really happened in the court of the Song Dynasty.
The literate words spewed out of their mouths and turned into sharp swords, irritating each other.
Looking at the unhurried look of Xuan Chengzi next to him, Ye An knew that this scene was not the first time that this scene had been staged in the court: "Master, how long do you think they will be able to make noise?"
Xuan Chengzi smiled and said in a low voice: "Of course it made the saint impatient. You see, the saint is still very calm now. Even so, he didn't say anything to stop him. I'm afraid no one will be able to please him this time.
"
Ye An followed Xuan Chengzi's words and looked at the bead curtain. Sure enough, the figure behind the bead curtain was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not say anything to stop it.
"Master, who do you think is right and will be supported by the saint?"
Xuan Chengzi smiled and said: "Everyone is right, but no one is right. This is actually the conflict between Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng. Lu Yijian wrote to the sage and asked him to spread it, but Wang Zeng objected, and Cao used this
Do you think the support of a Privy Councilor is a coincidence? Did they both think of it together?"
Ye An was slightly shocked. He really thought that the two parties were thinking of getting together, but he never thought that cliques would be involved!
Xuan Chengzi pointed casually and said: "That pale-faced middle-aged man is Qian Weiyan. In the past, he would definitely agree with Wang Zeng or Lu Yijian, but today he doesn't help anyone. It seems that he is honest. Saint
The news that he is going to be demoted and sent out has made him restless!"
Ye An was surprised and said: "The saint wants Qian Wei to perform? Do I have such a big face?"
Xuan Chengzi couldn't help but sneered: "You really take yourself seriously. Qian Weiyan's outing has nothing to do with you, at least not much. The court has been harboring dissatisfaction with him as a deputy privy envoy for a long time.
