my surname is wang, my neighbor is wu dalang Chapter 390: The Minister of Zehui Cangsheng, who is famous for thousands of generations, please seal the title
Chapter 390: The Minister of Zehui Cangsheng, who is famous for thousands of generations, please seal the title
Chapter 390: His name will last for generations, and he will benefit all the people. I would like to be granted the title by the King of Yan!
Li Gang's face turned red, and he stared at Kong Qi with sharp eyes: "If this matter is true, Mr. Kong, you will make great contributions to the country!"
Wu Min also said anxiously: "The official family, I think, immediately read the records of the Household Department and summon the Shenwu Army Commander Guan Sheng to inquire!"
All the ministers were shocked.
Even Zhao Ji suddenly stood up, looking extremely excited.
The yield per mu is thousands of kilograms!
If this product is really so fertile, there will be no more food shortages and civil unrest in the Song Dynasty from now on!
"Quickly transfer the records from the household department to the palace, and quickly pass them on to Guan Sheng for an audience."
In fact, with Guan Sheng's current rank, he is qualified to participate in court meetings. But as the chief general of the Beijing camp, he basically stays in the military camp every day and rarely enters the palace. He is too lazy to join in the lively court meetings where civil servants are scheming against each other and fighting among themselves.
Hearing that at today's court meeting, the emperor and courtiers suddenly became concerned about potatoes, Guan Sheng couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart.
Such a major military and national event has only attracted the attention of the court now. Although there are factors of human control by the prince, it at least shows that these officials in the court, especially those in the Ministry of Revenue, have really neglected their duties.
The corpse is a vegetarian and does not do any serious business.
The Shenwu Army was self-sufficient in the fields in Beijing, and the matter of planting potatoes was no longer a day or two. It aroused the interest of some Hu merchants, but the DPRK turned a deaf ear to it.
Wang Lin's original intention was to promote potatoes throughout the Song Dynasty next year. The Shenwu Army led officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to inspect the potato experimental fields, which was of course Wang Lin's arrangement.
Guan Sheng was wearing armor and looked majestic.
His appearance is very similar to Guan Gong of the Three Kingdoms.
Of course he was not a stranger in the capital court, but he had an indifferent personality and rarely interacted with the court officials. In addition, since he was Wang Lin's confidant, the civil servants in the court were wary and alienated from him.
Therefore, Guan Sheng had no friends in court, and certainly no enemies.
"The general will pay homage to the official!" Guan Sheng bowed slowly.
Zhao Ji said eagerly: "General Guan, please wake up... Prime Minister Li, come and ask."
Li Gang then said: "General Guan, please explain this potato matter in detail. How much does it yield per acre? How to store and plant it?..."
Guan Sheng said calmly and calmly.
Afterwards, Guan Sheng led the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including Zhao Ji, out of the city in a hurry and went to the Shenwu Army's potato experimental field outside the city for on-site inspection.
Seeing the piles of potatoes appearing in the field of vision, Li Gang, Wu Min, and Zongze took a deep breath and immediately became excited.
A cool north wind blew, and soldiers of the Shenwu Army were busy going back and forth in the fields. Carloads of potatoes were transported away and stored in huge cellars. Zhao Ji almost fainted with joy.
This product not only has a huge yield, is easy to plant and store, and can also be used as a staple food... For the Song Dynasty, why is this not auspicious?
This is a blessing from God, which means that he, the emperor, is the true son of heaven!
The national fortune of the Song Dynasty was at its peak!
…
Yanfu Palace, Yongdeok Palace.
The matters concerning potatoes and corn are under the personal control of the Prime Minister Wu Min, and are planned as major national affairs.
The courtiers and the emperor were surprisingly unanimous in their opinions at this time. This thing was auspicious blessing from heaven, it could be regarded as a sacred object, it would benefit the country and the people, and it must not be leaked and spread to other countries.
Just when Zhao Ji was seriously discussing the matter with several cabinet ministers and the chief minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Kong Qi, the person who exposed Tudou for the first time, suddenly came out to report: "I have my own report!"
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said, "Kong Qing, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Zhao Ji is in a very good mood now, and of course his attitude towards Kong Qi has become particularly gentle.
"The officials, King Yan, searched for and successfully planted potatoes, which can solve the fundamental hidden dangers of our Song Dynasty. From today on, our Song Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food shortages, will no longer be afraid of natural disasters, and will never have people starve to death!
This power is high in the mountains and deep in the sea. No one can match it throughout the ages! This power can be proclaimed to the sun and the moon, be famous for generations, and benefit the common people!
I am a commoner among hundreds of millions of people, and I would like to request a title for the King of Yan!"
Kong Qi’s voice was high-pitched and ringing.
At this time, the other second-generation heads of the Kong family finally came forward.
Kong Rui bowed and said: "In the official family, the king regards the people as his heaven, and the people's food as his heaven. King Yan's merits will benefit thousands of generations and protect the common people in the world. I also ask for the title of King Yan!"
Zhao Ji looked a little embarrassed for a moment.
He was so excited that he forgot that the potatoes were made by Wang Lin.
All the civil servants had complicated expressions.
Tang Ke lowered his head helplessly.
Even he had to admit that Wang Lin's experiment in growing potatoes and attracting potatoes was definitely an unparalleled achievement that benefited the common people.
Solving the problem of food and clothing for the common people is far more arousing the support of people all over the world than winning a few battles.
Geng Nanzhong sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, he is a genius sent from heaven. The advent of potatoes this time will fundamentally solve people's livelihood problems. Wang Lin's prestige in the world will gradually reach its peak, and his name will definitely go down in history.
Even if he was defeated by the Jin people in the future, the world would still be unable to conceal his contribution to solving the world's food problem.
For ancient society, having food... almost meant having everything.
The population expanded, commerce prospered, and the military became powerful.
Li Gang and Wu Min looked at each other, rubbed their hands, and looked a little embarrassed.
They are not trying to suppress Wang Lin's meritorious service, but with King Yan's current power, status, and title... it seems that there is no way to seal him!
He is already a very popular minister and no one can match him, so how can he be granted the title?
If Zhao Ji abdicates, will Wang Lin change the dynasty?
There was a wordless silence in Longde Hall.
Zhao Ji was speechless for a moment.
With no seal left, he seemed to have nothing left to give Wang Lin.
There is only this dragon robe and this dragon chair.
Time passes little by little.
Zhao Ji finally gave an embarrassed and wry smile, and said tentatively: "My dear friends, King Yan has made great contributions to the country, and I have successively increased my titles. Today, it seems...otherwise, how about adding nine tins?"
Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong stood up immediately: "Officials, absolutely not! Besides, His Majesty added Jiuxi the previous time, and the King of Yan firmly resigned!"
A group of civil servants came out and knelt on the ground, shouting: "I think this is not possible! I second my opinion!"
Zhao Ji held his black beard in his hand and smiled bitterly, then turned to look at Li Gang.
He then asked, "If not, tell the world and allow the King of Yan to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the future?"
Li Gang was speechless.
After the death of a minister, it is certainly an honor to enjoy the imperial temple.
But Wang Lin is only in his twenties now. If you tell the world that you want him to enjoy the Ancestral Temple after his death, won't it trigger an even more violent backlash from Wang Lin?
People are living well, but you curse them to death?
Things are easy to say and listen to, but things are difficult to do.
Zhao Ji was silent for a long time.
Suddenly he slowly said: "Since there is no seal for me, if you all feel that you must seal me, then I can only tell the world and give way to King Yan."
Zhao Ji's good mood suddenly disappeared.
As soon as he said these words, of course, the courtiers cried out to dissuade him.
At this time, Kong Qi was heard shouting loudly again: "The officials and ministers still have the original memorial!"
Zhao Ji looked coldly, looked at Kong Qi who was kneeling under Danqi, and said coldly: "Does Kong Qing have any good ideas?"
Zhao Ji's attitude was very unfriendly.
He suddenly felt that all this happened today was caused by Kong and had evil intentions.
