The Pastoral Wife: Holding the Doll and becoming the richest man

Chapter 220 Food War?
Ming Xiaoxiao got rid of the prince's entanglement, and lost the interest in strolling down the street. When he was about to get into the carriage to go back, he met this guard of honor, and this guard of honor was not inferior to the time when he watched the emperor leave the two The guard of honor in Yangzhen, Ming Xiaoxiao wondered who had the status to enjoy such luxurious treatment.

Ming Xiaoxiao waited for the guard of honor to go away, and then hurriedly wanted to go home, but when he was about to get into the carriage, he heard a few people talking.

"The kind of things I sold to you last time, can you resell them to me again? I really have nothing to eat here, so I can exchange them with you."

"All the things you took last time have sprouted. I'll bring them to you. We don't know how to eat them in this world of ice and snow."

"It should be the original price last time, and I won't earn anything else from you."

Ming Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes, looking at what they said, food, what food?There are still sprouts. In this season, even the warehouse will be a little cold. When he looked closely, it was indeed a pile of small potatoes.

There are potatoes in Ming Xiaoxiao's space, but he is improving it in the space, because the living environment in the space is better than the living environment outside. He originally thought about improving the genes and then taking out the potatoes, but he didn't expect that there are already people I am collecting original potatoes.

Ming smiled and looked at the potato collectors, but found something wrong. Although the people in Daxia also used fur to decorate things and make clothes with fur, they would not be rough from the inside to the outside like him. Made, the clothes are no exception even the small shirt inside, this is why Ming Xiaoxiao is glad that he is in the building, he is really lucky that he is not in Chen Guo, first of all, the clothes are not used to, it should be more annoying.

But it can also prove that this person should be Chen Guoren. What does it mean that Chen Guoren came to Qingcheng in his own country and started collecting potatoes?Could it be that they have discovered the advantages of potatoes?It's starting to grow potatoes in a big way, and if that's the case, it's not so good!

According to the emperor's calculation, he guessed that there should be no war with Chen Guo within five years, but in this way, if Chen Guo has already started to collect grain, then war will definitely start within three years, but what the emperor means is Let the battlefield go to Chen Guo, so that the people in the building will not suffer from the war again. If the emperor has not noticed this matter, it will be bad.

Did Ming Xiaoxiao froze?He was thinking about the way to meet the emperor, and suddenly remembered the Habayashi guards who followed him all the time.

"Is the elder brother of Habayashi Wei here?" Ming Xiaoxiao called in a low voice, and sure enough, the next moment Ming Xiaoxiao appeared beside him, that person saluted Ming Xiaoxiao very respectfully. There was news that because of offending Mrs. Li, the nanny who had always been valued by the emperor was actually locked up.

"Can you send someone to follow this person? This person should be from Chen Guo. I have seen this kind of grain he harvested in the wild. It grows very gratifyingly. It may be related to the army. You'd better report it to the emperor. Take a look and see if there are other secrets behind the agency, we must prevent problems before they happen."

Ming smiled and thought for a while, this is the easiest way for the emperor to accept, it might be better for him to leave all this to the emperor's personal guards, and the person the emperor sent to him should have been appraised by the emperor , People who have no problems, if they have problems, they have been instigated by themselves, how can they stay by their side all the time?

Countless people immediately dispersed, and within a quarter of an hour, the emperor had received the news, and the emperor frowned slightly. She really wanted to know how high-yield this crop was, and could this crop really feed an army? ?If Ming Xiaoxiao knew why he didn't report earlier.

If it was explained that Xiaoxiao didn't know the function of this crop at all, then Ming Xiaoxiao wouldn't make such a fuss by sending someone to report this food crop called potatoes, but since Ming Xiaoxiao knew it and didn't tell herself, she still didn't report this Dedicated things to the country, what does he want to do?
After all, the nanny is also an old man he is used to. Although she is a little single-minded, overall there is nothing wrong with her. Although he believes in Ming Xiaoxiao more between the two, it doesn't mean that Ming Xiaoxiao is with her. There is no doubt at all.

Ming Xiaoxiao, for this matter, he naturally knows the risk he has to bear, but if a war is avoided because of his words, Ming Xiaoxiao thinks it is very worthwhile. Ming Xiaoxiao will get it when he returns home. After hearing the emperor's reply, the emperor wants to summon him.

Ming smiled and nodded. He had no reason to refuse, nor the right to refuse. He straightened his clothes, prepared to leave with the person who came to pick him up, and told Wen Liming, where was he going?Wen Liming nodded worriedly, but seeing his mother's relaxed smile, he also relaxed. Ming smiled and told Wen Liming to take good care of his sister, and went out by himself.

Ming Xiaoxiao came to the palace again. Although he was not very familiar with this kilometer, he had already been here once last time, so he knew very well that this was going to the emperor's study, but he was led to the warm pavilion in the west.

"The emperor is meeting with a nobleman, and I can see you after the emperor has finished chatting with this nobleman." A father-in-law came up to tell him that there was no special respect, but it was not a point of arrogance. Nodded, and smiled brightly, although they have been stamped with hard work, they are more like people who work for the emperor. There is no need for them to be respectful to you, a villager in the countryside, but what is fair in this era? Woolen cloth?

Ming smiled, sat down, took a sip of tea, and suddenly thought of the guard of honor he saw on the street, maybe that was the person the emperor wanted to meet, Ming smiled, although he was not very interested, but asked to the end Who is it?With such a huge distance, there is definitely no hope. Maybe he should have a good chat with other people to get this information out.

Ming Xiaoxiao always had a strange feeling about this person, as if he had seen him somewhere?Or to say that I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him. Now, Ming Xiaoxiao can't tell whether this familiarity is from the previous life or this life. He seems to be more harmoniously integrated with this body. Ming Xiaoxiao When I was thinking wildly, I heard a familiar voice outside the door saying: "The emperor is here!"

Ming Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up to salute, the emperor waved her big hand, let her sit down, and then went directly to the subject: "That person has been sent to monitor, he is the spy sent by Chen Guo, you have indeed made great contributions this time, But I also want to ask you, since you know this kind of crop can satisfy everyone's hunger, why didn't you take it out?"

Ming smiled and looked at the emperor and said very sincerely: "The first time I saw him was on a mountain north of Shuangyang Town. He was just wild. Although he grew a lot, he was very small, so I was thinking of using a He is going to do some seed selection and matching, so at this time, he can only choose and cultivate slowly, and only after the cultivation is complete can he take it out. Otherwise, even if this thing has a high yield, the seeds will grow smaller and smaller. It didn't do much either."

"Ming Xiaoxiao doesn't have anything I want, so I have already told the emperor what I want. What I want may be drowned in this spiritual knowledge, but as long as the emperor remembers it, now The elephant needs me, or the emperor needs someone like me to serve, so I naturally want to have a dutiful smile, because I am also a prawn, and I don’t want my country to be attacked.”

The emperor looked at Ming Xiaoxiao quietly, and finally she believed Ming Xiaoxiao's words, and then continued to ask: "Then do you know how many seasons this crop can be grown? How much can it be harvested? And has your research Progress? If it is said that an army can’t be fed within three years, even if it is incomplete, it still needs to be because Chen Guo has already started to act. If it doesn’t work, then the soldiers on the frontier will be a little dangerous.”

Ming smiled and nodded, but she was very cautious, she raised her head, looked at the emperor squarely and said, "I have found some methods for this research problem, and the experimental results are good, but I came too hastily, there is no Bring the seeds with you, you can go to my house to get them. It’s in the small room where I did my research, and anyone who has been to my house should know about it.”

Ming Xiao smiled and directly told the location of the potatoes, because he took out more than a dozen potatoes and kept them for frying, so as long as the pile of potatoes is not moldy, he can use them, the emperor ordered Nodding, immediately send someone to Ming Xiaoxiao's hometown.

"From my observation, this kind of crop can be planted for two seasons, and each season will have a very rich harvest, but as far as the results are concerned, they have very little land to plant. Why do they suddenly have the idea of ​​​​growing food that they can grow?" ? That's kind of weird."

The emperor stood up without saying a word. Ming Xiaoxiao definitely didn't know about the rest of the matter, but he had a vague guess, but he didn't want to admit it.Ming smiled, and didn't ask any more questions, but just said another sentence.

"Actually, my improved rice, wheat, and corn are pretty good now. If you are worried, you can also plant these crops. Although potatoes are high-yield, they really don't taste that good, so you can also follow other grains. Let’s make this fine seed of mine, it’s not worse than potatoes.”

Ming Xiaoxiao added in his heart that of course it is not the modern kind of potatoes that have been optimized a lot, but only refers to the original wild potato production in this era.

The emperor nodded slightly. Last time, Ming Xiaoxiao and Xiao Xiao made the self-heating army lunch box. He still appreciated it. Although the weight of the bamboo box will increase, but Qiang can eat the hot meal. Although there is a leader army, But if you are marching in a hurry or in the wild, carrying 1 or 2 in a person's backpack can also relieve your hunger for a while.

Ming Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief, every time he talked with the emperor, he felt that he had exhausted all his strength, and he promised that he had never been so tired during the college entrance examination, his brain turned frequently in a short period of time Ming Xiaoxiao, It seems to know why those who are by the emperor's side, whether they are traitors or loyal ministers, as long as they are close to the emperor, they will not live long, because they are too worried.

"I'll leave this matter to you. You must be before them. Good afternoon, food. If Chen Guo solves the food problem this time, or buys food directly from us, it will be very unfavorable to us. Grain is the foundation of our life. The common people rely on food to live. Even I can’t get rid of this appetite, so everything depends on you. It’s winter now, and you can’t plant until next year’s spring permit to let you go back. And besides being here, I will give you a few officials from Si Nong? You teach a dozen of them to grow your new type of food relief, and let them divide the land for you. "

"If Chen Guo wants to grab my food at this time, and grab the food of the people of Daxia, all the requirements and cards are handed over to you."

Ming Xiaoxiao suddenly heard this sentence, and felt a little dazed. The emperor said this sentence very seriously. He seemed to have some, and returned to the original feeling, and what he said was very similar to that of everyone. The feeling of equality is like the people of the building, the people of his brothers and sisters, and should be guarded by him. He has this sense of responsibility. Although Ming Xiaoxiao is so strange in this era, there is only this He admitted that if he could do something for the common people, as long as he was a native of the country, he would be willing to lose his mind.

Ming Xiaoxiao nodded with tears on his face, the emperor looked at Ming Xiaoxiao's performance, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, he was really a child, no wonder the emperor was smiling here, Ming Xiaoxiao is only 20 years old now How old, to the emperor, a woman in her 20s in the countryside, even if she has so much ability, is just a simple peasant woman.

Many of his children were older than Ming Xiaoxiao, so the emperor allowed Ming Xiaoxiao to be a little more presumptuous at certain times, after all, he also helped him take care of the children, and also helped him deal with some difficult problems.

With a bright smile, the emperor nodded in satisfaction with the impulsiveness of throwing his head and blood. As a superior, getting his subordinates to work for you willingly is a skill, not to mention asking money for good words. I lost face again, so Ming Xiaoxiao listened to these words, the emperor didn't have any psychological barriers at all.

The emperor nodded, and ordered people to continue smiling brightly, and when he thought of the person who had just arrived, he felt a burst of embarrassment.

The person who just came is his uncle.At the beginning, his uncle didn't want to be the emperor, so he directly gave the throne to his father, and when his father passed the throne to him, he also experienced some turmoil. It was the uncle who came forward to settle the matter. After so many years, the emperor The uncle gave him all the military power and political power, so he respected the uncle very much.

Over the years, the emperor's uncle has never appeared frequently. However, the emperor said that he came to the capital to find someone. A junior whom he planned very much disappeared in the capital, so he wanted to see what jackals in the capital would kill him. The junior who admired him was completely wiped out.

If possible, he is willing to deal with all those people, just to give the emperor's uncle diarrhea, but the emperor's idea just now is obviously to do it himself, so the emperor has no choice but to let him, just tell the emperor, if there is anything If there is something to do, he can show his own things. In this way, he can solve some small troubles for the uncle, and there is no need to reach out.
