Zhao Luran gave him the letter in his hand, feeling a little flustered, it was true?The high-yielding grain species in Chu State actually yielded more than 150 catties per mu, and the entire Futai County, including those inferior fields, had a yield of [-] to [-] catties per mu!
According to the past practice, the calculation of the yield per mu generally does not take into account the low-grade fields. After all, the yield per mu of the low-grade fields is too low, and the yield of one or two hundred catties has already been calculated.

Now Chu State's high-yield grain seeds, the yield per mu of low-grade fields has surpassed the yield of Zhao State's high-yield grain seeds grown on top-grade good fields!

Zhao Luran felt a deep crisis!

Tan Juan took it over and took a look, his face turned pale: "That's not the number in the last letter! Didn't it say that the yield per mu is only about [-] catties? Who told the truth?"

Yang Xie: "Is it because the two letters were delivered by different people?"

Zhao Luran looked at him: "Which of these two do you think is lying?"

Yang Xie shook his head: "No one should be lying. We Zhao people are accustomed to the ancient calculation of two catties, half a catty is equal to eight taels, but in the other three countries, one catty is equal to ten taels. Everyone's calculations are different. So the person who sent the letter is not the same. One is a native of Zhao State, and the other is a Chu State man who has been bribed?"

Zhao Luran: "."

Indeed, one is a native of Zhao, and the other is a bribed Chu!
It's just that when it comes to the output of high-yield grains, everyone in the officialdom is used to using the algorithm of ten taels per catty.Only local people in Zhao country will use the same algorithm to trade with each other.

Yang Xie looked at Zhao Luran: "Princess, Yan Kingdom probably won't buy our grain seeds again this year!"

The country of Zhao is not big, and the farmland is not too much, but the population is very large, so although there are high-yielding grains, it is necessary to buy high-priced grains from other countries with high-yielding grains in order to be able to eat food.Simply relying on Zhao's local food is far from enough!

Zhao Luran was also flustered, the emperor told her to handle this matter well, she hurriedly said: "Before the envoys from Yan Kingdom leave, you can go to Fangzheng and discuss the exchange of high-yielding grains, try to get a discount, definitely To get him to agree to exchange grain with us, the more the better! It is also possible to exchange one catty of high-yield grain for three catties of grain!"

Tan Pan also knew that this matter was of great importance. Whether Zhao State's treasury granary had any grain this year would depend on the grain trade with Yan State this time!
He responded and immediately ran out to find the envoy of Yan Kingdom, but Fangzheng rushed to leave, did not answer him a word, and left directly.

After Zhao Luran learned about it, he hurried back to Zhao country with his people to discuss countermeasures.

Soon, people in Yan State and Zhao State knew that Chu State had many kinds of high-yield grains. The topic of corn, cotton and pest-free vegetables lasted for more than a month before gradually fading away.

It wasn't until Huangtian and Zhuangzi in the Jin Kingdom really grew pest-free vegetables that this topic once again set off a climax.

At this time, Chu Tiankuo had already returned to Chu State for several days.

The Emperor of Chu State has received letters from Yan State and Zhao State Lord asking about buying high-yielding grain seeds.

The high-yielding grain seeds were produced by Xing Nong, so the emperor of Chu State gave Chu Tiankuo full responsibility for this matter.

In the imperial study room, the emperor of Chu called Chu Tiankuo to discuss matters. He was not worried about the exchange of grain seeds, but what made him embarrassed was Xing Nong's reward.Thinking that she was the princess of Jin, the emperor of Chu felt that no matter what he rewarded, he was too light.

The Emperor of Chu State asked Chu Tiankuo: "Princess Xingnong has made great achievements this time, benefiting the people all over the world. How do you think I should reward her?"

When Chu Tiankuo heard that he was drinking tea, he didn't expect his father to ask himself, isn't he afraid that he won't be polite to him?
For the benefit of my daughter-in-law, naturally the more the better!
He put down the tea bowl, intending to earn something for Xing Nong.

The Emperor Chu's temples twitched, and suddenly, he regretted it a little!

This son has never understood what politeness is!
And there is a daughter-in-law who forgets her father!

He hurriedly said: "Forget it! I'd better think for myself! You step back!"

Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Anyway, if the reward he gave was too thin, he would still fight for that girl.

You can't wrong her!
He stood up: "I don't know what the reward is, but Xing Nong is the princess of the Jin Kingdom, so the reward should not be too light, so as not to lose the face of the Chu Kingdom."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, look at how far this arm is going!
Chu Tiankuo didn't care what he was thinking. After speaking, he saluted and then withdrew.

The emperor rolled his eyes at his back, and then became worried again.

What is a good reward?

Give her the title of princess?But she was originally a princess, and she was a princess with a fief!Who cares about being a princess?
As for the rewards of gold, silver and treasures, good fields and beautiful houses, I heard that the princes of the Jin Kingdom gave her a mansion and Zhuangzi for each city!So there is no shortage of princesses of these countries!It is also impossible for him to reward a mansion for every city, and he does not have so many mansion rewards.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have given the marriage so early. After all, the status of the princess was used as a reward, and it was barely respected.

The Emperor of Chu asked the eunuch behind him: "What do you think is the reward I gave Princess Xingnong?"

There were only two people in the study, and the old eunuch knew that the emperor was asking himself when he heard the words, so he thought for a while before saying: "Why don't the emperor give the princess a fief."

manor?The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That's a good idea!"

It's just that since ancient times, those who have had fiefs are either princes or princesses, princesses, and princesses have never had fiefs.

Moreover, a fief is too short to say, and it seems that there are not enough, and I am afraid that the king of Jin will laugh at me for being stingy!

The emperor of Chu thought that he was misled by Chu Tiankuo, and Lord Hou gave her the title. She was originally the princess of Jin and the future crown princess of Chu, so it was not bad to give her another title of king with a different surname. The status of a queen is higher than that of a princess!Moreover, the status of the king can be hereditary, and when the time comes, it will be passed on to the young master of the Shen family, so this reward will be considered great!
The king of Jin has nothing to say this time!
The emperor of Chu thought he was simply too smart!
The Emperor of Chu didn't need the Imperial Academy to draft the imperial decree anymore, he started drafting the decree by himself.

The eunuch glanced at the imperial decree drawn up by the emperor, and couldn't help saying in his heart: My dear!King Hui?
The emperor actually named the princess as King Hui, and gave her a county near the imperial city as a fief?
This reward is really ingenious!But also big enough!

He had some anticipation in his heart, and wanted to see how wonderful the expressions of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would be after the imperial decree was issued!

After Chu Tiankuo left the imperial study and returned to the East Palace, he met Xing Nong in the space, "Father is going to give you a reward, what reward do you want? I will fight for it for you."
