Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 240;

As soon as he finished explaining here, he went out without stopping.

The imperial decree just now not only gave him the position of left minister, but also asked him to immediately start the matter of the locust plague.

This is his first task in the position, and he must do it well. Only when he has done it well and has made real achievements, can this position be secured, and others will be convinced.

In the manuscript given by Lu Yaoyao, it is very clear about how to control the locust plague.

The most important one is to spend money on the side to let the people catch locusts.

Although this method seems a bit stupid, judging from the test results at Lu Yaoyao Village, it is still very effective.

From the moment he learned of this method, even if he made a fortune, if the locust plague crossed the border, the losses in every county would be very heavy.

At that time, the imperial court had to spend money and food for disaster relief. Adding up the two, the money needed to be spent was at least [-] taels.

But if you spend money to buy locusts, you can curb the losses caused by the locust plague and reduce the need for disaster relief.

One penny is one catty, one tael of silver is one thousand catties, and ten taels of silver is ten thousand catties. There are many densely packed locusts, but the money needed must not reach one hundred thousand taels.

And if the money is given to the common people, it is also a reputation for the court, isn't it?
He first went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to look for Wen Songtao.

At this time, Wen Songtao was also perfecting the management of the locust plague in the study.

Hearing the report from the servants that the Prime Minister of the Left, Dong Qingyang, was here, he quickly put down his work and went out to meet him himself.

Then the two of them spent more than an hour together in the study before sorting out the perfect solution.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen held the memorials sorted out by the two of them in his hand, looked at them very carefully, and nodded repeatedly while reading.

"Not bad, the two gentlemen are very considerate."

"I will make an order, and I will do as you say."

"However, you have to remember that the money must fall into the hands of the common people. If something goes wrong, I will never forgive you lightly."

"Yes."

The two cupped their hands together, and then left the imperial study room.

"Wang De, what kind of person do you think she is?"

Emperor Hongwen leaned on the dragon chair and tilted his head to look at Wang De beside him.

Hearing this, Wang De was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then immediately understood who His Majesty was referring to by her.

"Great talent, if it is a man, it must be the talent of Zaifu."

This is not an exaggeration at all.

How many things have you done since Lu Yaoyao appeared?Let's not talk about the things that are offered.

For example, since the drought, all the officials have been helpless, and His Majesty is also worried, but what about her?
It was easily resolved, and the plans were perfect.

Especially in the face of the food blockade of the major families, she can easily resolve it, and even cause the major families to lose money and reputation.

However, it is a pity that it is a daughter.

"You think highly of her."

Emperor Hongwen cast a slanted glance at Wang De, although there was a hint of exaggeration in his mouth.

But in his heart he still agrees with Wang De's words.

There's no way to refute it, just these few times, if it wasn't for Lu Yaoyao's help, how could he be relaxed?
"Tell me, what if I give her an official position and let her work for the court?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang De was extremely shocked.

A woman is an official?Never existed in eternity.

"Your Majesty, don't be joking."

Emperor Hongwen turned over and sat up straight, looking at Wang Dedao with a half-smile; "Do you think I'm joking?"

To be honest, he really seems to have brought Lu Yaoyao to the court, she is a great talent, and she is a woman, he can rest assured that she will make too many moths.

"Your Majesty, just think about it. You want to let the head of Wanfu County enter the court as an official."

"Even if you can persuade those civil servants in the court, she probably won't agree."

He still clearly remembered that this person had played the game of asking himself to be expelled from the title, and he was not willing to ask for an empty title, and even became an official.

You must know that a woman is an official, but she has to bear a lot of pressure.

Based on his understanding of Lu Yaoyao these days, this is a master who doesn't like troublesome things very much.

"I asked her to come, does she still dare to resist the order?"

Regarding Emperor Hongwen's words, Wang De curled his lips repeatedly in his heart.

You always want to make an order, but can your order be passed on?

I'm afraid that as soon as you have this plan, a large group of civil servants will rush out outside.

You can't even handle them.

"If you can make an order, she naturally dare not resist it, but can your order be followed?"

When Emperor Hongwen, who was still majestic just now, heard this, his whole body froze like a discouraged ball.

"You bastard, you can't even let me fantasize about it?"

He was just fantasizing about it, and it would be quite difficult to do so.

Besides, if you want Lu Yaoyao to help, you don't necessarily have to ask her to be an official. Didn't they help a lot these few times?
"You don't have to fantasize about these unrealistic things. The old slave thinks that you can come up with something realistic."

"As long as she is devoted to you, do you still worry about her not serving you?"

Emperor Hongwen nodded his head, this is true.

It's just that she is already the head of the county now, and she was promoted to this position in just a few months.

It is definitely not possible to continue to give the title, after all, the princess is the princess, and only the royal clan is eligible to be awarded the title.

As for money, he felt that Lu Yaoyao would not be short of money, after all, Renna Baizhenlou's annual income was not low.

Not to mention that they still have a perfume and spirits business.

Of these two businesses, which one is not profitable?
Not to mention the perfume, but now the women in his harem really like it.

Because the concubines in the palace are reused, all the official women in the capital are also flocking to them.

Business is booming.

Besides the spirits, those wine shops in the capital city will be overwhelmed by them.

"Don't you say that I have forgotten, this time she has made great contributions again, what reward do you think I should give her?"

Wang De pondered for a moment, and then said, "The title must not continue, and she doesn't seem to be short of gold and silver."

"The old slave thinks that His Majesty can reward some people."

"Rewarding people?"

Emperor Hongwen looked up at Wang De in surprise.

There is no such thing as rewarding people, for example, he rewarded some divas to his courtiers.

"Didn't she ask His Majesty last time for the land around the farm?"

"That's a large area. I think the old slave will use it, and there are not many people around her who can use it."

Emperor Hongwen nodded again and again, thinking about it, this proposal is really good.

But who is better to reward?

And this hastily rewarding people in the past, will it make her feel that she has arranged for people to monitor her?

Don't be fooled when the time comes.

Seemingly seeing Emperor Hongwen's headache, Wang De said again; "It's definitely not okay to let people go there directly."

"Your Majesty has rewarded you in the past, and if you make a mistake at that time, it will be difficult for the county lord."
