Siheyuan: I have broken space

The matter of visiting relatives has become a hot topic with the help of caring people.

There are various theories, the biggest of which is that the emperor favored the harem and wasted money and people.

Ordinary people don't have much discernment. When they heard that the emperor's concubine spent millions of taels of silver to build a villa for relatives, they were naturally angry.

Even though the emperor responded promptly, the rumors were not completely suppressed.

King Zhongshun said angrily: "If my father hadn't locked up those brothers, I would have wanted to beat them up."

But the emperor was very calm and said: "Well, they can only do these things, why do you have to be so fussy about it."

King Zhongshun said: "But brother, we finally controlled the court, but the four kings and eight princes started to show up again."

There are rumors that the royal family is involved, but more are the forces of the four princes and eight princes. Their purpose is to disrupt the emperor's general trend.

The emperor thought for a while and asked: "How is the cement developed by you and Tingxuan?"

"It's almost finished. We still need to finalize the ratio of materials."

"When can we start production? It will be the rainy season soon, and I am afraid of flooding."

King Zhongshun said: "I also want to give birth quickly, but we have no money."

"Where's the money you earned?"

King Zhongshun shouted: "Money is earned quickly and spent even faster. If you don't believe it, you can call Lin Ruhai over and have a look at his family background as the Minister of Household Affairs."

There is no need for the emperor to call him Lin Ruhai. The Ministry of Revenue must have no money.

After cement is produced, if it is used to build houses, the investment can be recovered quickly. If it is used to build roads and dams, it will not only cost a lot, but there will be no return at all in a short period of time.

The emperor's face darkened and he said, "It seems that the debt still needs to be collected."

King Zhongshun waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it. With this rumor, there will be no way to recover the debt in a short time."

After being reminded, the emperor also understood the reason.

The power of rumors cannot be underestimated. If those people are really pushed into a hurry and they use rumors to make trouble, it will be really difficult to deal with.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

King Zhongshun is angry, weren't you in a hurry just now?

"Why don't you call Tingxuan over and ask him what he has in mind."

After hearing what King Zhongshun said, Wang Tingxuan thought for a while and said: "Building water conservancy projects and strengthening dams are indeed what we should do. But we can't act rashly."

The emperor said: "I am not acting rashly, but I am afraid that there will be floods. If these problems are solved as soon as possible, I will be able to rest assured."

Wang Tingxuan said: "Your Majesty, I know that the construction of water conservancy projects is an urgent matter. But now we are facing several problems, such as cement production, production costs, construction methods, and construction workers. The most important thing is that the rainy season is coming soon.

The time is not right either.”

King Zhongshun said: "That's right, brother. Since you came to the throne, you have sent people to strengthen the dam every year, so there won't be any problems this year. Now let's find a way to solve the money problem. Tingxuan, do you have any good ideas?"

Wang Tingxuan thought for a while. If he wanted to recover the debt, it must be stable. No one could guarantee whether those who owed money would rebel.

If the rumor spread at this time, it would be quite fatal to the emperor and the court.

What the emperor needs now is not only to stop the rumors, but also to stabilize the power in his hands so that no one dares to have second thoughts.

Then a huge reputation is needed to promote this matter.

Wang Tingxuan glanced at Prince Zhongshun and said, "Your Majesty, the only thing we can do now is take out the thing from the prince's farm."

King Zhongshun exclaimed: "Why did I forget about sweet potatoes and potatoes? As long as these two things are taken out, the emperor's brother will be destined. Let's see who has the courage to stand up and oppose. There are too few seeds now.

, not enough for nationwide promotion.”

The emperor said: "It doesn't matter if it is less. As long as it is promoted and more people grow it, the number will naturally increase. Moreover, these are new things after all, and it will take time for the people to accept them."

A few days later, the emperor took all the ministers to King Zhongshun's farm. The emperor did not tell the ministers the purpose of this visit, and many of them were confused.

When I arrived at the farm, I found that the surrounding guards were very tight. There were not only the emperor's imperial guards, but also the personal guards of King Zhongshun.

Before they could ask, King Zhongshun said brightly: "In this farm of my king, there is a crop that benefits all people. I hope you will be witnesses this time."

The courtiers looked in the direction pointed by King Zhongshun and saw two different crops growing in the farm, but no one recognized them.

King Zhongshun was impatient to explain to them, and said to the farmers who had been waiting for a long time: "Excavate!"

At first, no one cared.

Waiting for a steady stream of things to be dug out of the soil, more and more people were shocked and speechless.

What on earth is this thing, and why does it grow underground and grow so much?

Lin Ruhai asked: "Your Majesty, what on earth is this? How come there are so many of them."

King Zhongshun said proudly: "This thing is called sweet potato, and it was originally an overseas product. Wang Tingxuan and I discovered it and tried planting it in the farm. Unexpectedly, the yield of this thing was very large. More importantly, this thing is

It’s edible.”

The yield is large and edible.

Everyone captured the most critical information.

If it is true as King Zhongshun said, it would be really extraordinary. This is simply a talisman and a weapon for promotion.

Especially those noble families are very jealous. If they had such merit, how could they be so stubborn?

Some people did not believe in evil and said, "How does the prince know that these things are edible?"

This is obviously an attempt to cause trouble. Can King Zhongshun be afraid of him?

"Whether you can eat it or not, you will know when you bring it up later. Don't worry, I will eat it with you. If it is poisonous, we have done our best for the people, and people in the world will remember you."

The man took a step back in fright.

"Coward." King Zhongshun said disdainfully.

No one cared about him, and his career ended here.

If we are not sure, can the emperor bring everyone here?

If you don't even think about this, you will get a free salary as an official.

The chief minister of Prince Zhongshun ran over excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, the yield of sweet potatoes has been calculated. The yield of sweet potatoes in the superior fields is eight times that of wheat. The yield in the middle fields is six times. The yield in the inferior fields is only four times.

many."

The emperor said excitedly: "Okay. From now on, my people will never go hungry again."

Everyone around was too lazy to roll their eyes.

The emperor didn't even want to show off, and directly spoke in a decisive manner.

The emperor said: "Let me prepare some. I will taste the sweet potatoes here with all my dear friends."

There are many ways to eat sweet potatoes, and Wang Tingxuan originally planned to ask the chef of Prince Zhongshun to make more varieties.

King Zhongshun didn't want to do it because he thought it was too troublesome, so he made two of the simplest ones, one roasted sweet potato and the other stir-fried sweet potato leaves.

In his words, this is not a banquet, why should it be so sumptuous?

No matter what, after everyone eats sweet potatoes, they will no longer doubt it.

After eating, many people no longer dislike the dirt in the world and want to get closer and observe carefully to see what these things look like.

Likewise, they also saw the fenced-in area on the other side of the farm.

When he learned that there was a high-yielding crop that had not yet matured, his envy for King Zhongshun and Wang Tingxuan turned into hatred. Why couldn't they be given some of the credit for such a great achievement?
