Chapter 853 The First Step of Participating in Politics

"Is the price expensive?" an old minister asked.

Du Jinning thought for a while: "The price should be twice that of ordinary rice."

Everyone nodded.Seeds with an yield of seven stones per mu, as long as they are not ridiculously expensive, no one is willing to buy and plant them.You should know that except for seeds, labor, fertilizer, and time are all the same.With extremely high yields, the little money to buy seeds is nothing.

Before everyone could figure out how much money Du Jinning could make a year from this matter, Du Jinning said: "I don't take a cent of the money I earn from rice seeding. The construction of water conservancy in poverty-stricken areas. The reason why this money is not directly handed over to the court is mainly because it hopes to use it for special purposes. The court can send an official from the household department to supervise the accounts and the direction of funds.”

Upon hearing this, the slight discomfort that just arose in everyone's hearts disappeared.

Although the high-yield rice was researched by Du Jinning alone, Du Jinning was still an official of the court at the time of the research. With the salary of the court, he was able to develop it in such a short period of time by relying on other officials to share the chores during his tenure. She came out, for which the court also rewarded her with an iron coupon of the alchemy book.It is also because of this credit that she is named the eldest princess now.

If Du Jinning takes the high-yield rice as his own and uses it for his own profit, and does not allow the court to take a little bit of it, all veterans will absolutely not allow it.

But everyone also knows that Du Jinning has developed high-yielding rice, and it is true that this kind of rice belongs to the country. However, it is unreasonable to ask people to spend years and months cultivating rice for the whole country for free.

According to their thinking, Du Jinning can get part of the profits from the sale of rice seeds, and the other part goes to the state treasury, which is more reasonable.

Now Du Jinning expresses that he has been cultivating rice seeds for the country for a long time free of charge, and only asks that the money earned be used for agricultural and water conservancy. This is for the sake of the whole country. A heart of admiration.

Rice is planted twice a year in the entire Song Dynasty south of the Yangtze River. It is conceivable how many rice seeds are needed in a year and how profitable this business is.But Du Jinning didn't even think about it, and just opened his mouth to give up the profit. Even big men like them would be ashamed of themselves.

In addition to admiration, everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at Qi Bokun.

In their perception, when a woman marries into her husband's family, everything about her belongs to her husband's family.

Du Jinning didn't ask any questions now, and just handed over such a large sum of money. I don't know if Qi Bokun would feel resentful.

Qi Bokun knew everyone's thoughts well.

He stood up cheerfully and cupped his hands to Zhao Wei: "Jin Ning has always been a child who is compassionate to the world. From the fact that she wrote "Farming the Field" and selflessly spread her many years of planting experience, you can see her heart. For her kind Selfless mind, veterans can only admire and admire."

When he said this, everyone remembered that Du Jinning really passed on all his planting experience in "Farming", without reservation.This is extremely rare in ancient times when any technology was hidden like a family heirloom and cherished with a broom.It can be seen that Du Jinning's selfless character and broad mind.

In the past, everyone didn't have much contact with Du Jinning, only heard the praises of Zhao Huo and Qi Bokun, and the impression of her was that she had developed high-yield rice and that she was the champion of the previous year.

With such contact now, everyone really agrees with her and accepts her from the bottom of their hearts.

There may be more than one official here who is a loyal reader of "Chang Tian Ji".One couldn't help but said: "Since the princess is back, should we continue writing "Chang Tian Ji"? I wonder when the next volume will be released?"

Everyone looked at Du Jinning with burning eyes.

Du Jinning said: "I will hand over the manuscript to Yinfang for printing as soon as possible. A volume will be published in about ten days, and another volume will be published on the first day of next month."

"I'm looking forward to it." Another official stroked his beard.

Everyone laughed.

Du Jinning said with a smile: "My lords, you can ask your family to buy some fruit trees on the top of the hills. In the new book "Farming the Field", I will introduce the method of grafting fruit trees. The fruit trees planted by this method have less pests and diseases and can be planted. It bears fruit quickly, and the fruit tastes good, and the yield is large."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Those who have studied "Chang Tian Ji" will find that the planting methods introduced by Du Jinning in the storybook are all very mature and reliable. As long as you follow the above, you can always get something.

This is also the reason why "Chang Tian Ji" is extremely valuable and is sought after by so many people.

So when Du Jinning's "Chang Tian Ji" comes out, there will definitely be many people who will buy the hills to plant fruit trees.Du Jinning greeted them in advance, just selling them a favor and expressing his willingness to befriend them.

If Du Jinning said this as soon as she came up, maybe everyone would dismiss her favor, and even think that Du Jinning was fawning on them.But after solving the previous anti-counterfeiting and crime problems, Du Jinning's ability has been recognized by everyone; the rice seed incident later made everyone affirm and admire her character. Now she will sell favors to everyone and show favor to everyone. The feelings of the old ministers are quite different.

"Thank you for reminding me, princess, this is a great fortune." An old minister said with a cheerful smile.

"That's not true. Princess Cheng is very affectionate." Others also echoed.

Hong Huazhong had mixed feelings in his heart.

He finally understood why Qi Bokun would rather let the Qi family and Qi Muyuan be gossiped about, than marry Du Jinning in regardless.

Such a talent, such a mind, such a good at dealing with people, not to mention those young boys who have just entered the official career, even those old foxes who have been officials for decades, let alone the one in his family who knows how to play the piano. The granddaughter of Qi Shuhua, the two are completely different from Haoyue and Yinghuo.

For a strange woman like Du Jinning, it is a great fortune to meet her and become friends with her, let alone marry her and become a family.

With a wife like Du Jinning, one can imagine how far Qi Muyuan can go.And with such a mother, how outstanding the next generation of the Qi family will be, I really dare not even imagine.

He sighed deeply.

Qi Bokun didn't even look at him, he only stroked his beard secretly proud of Du Jinning's saving face in front of his old friends.

Zhao He sat at the top, looking at Du Jinning with shining eyes, and only he knew the regret in his heart, and at the same time, he strengthened his determination to let Du Jinning participate in the government.

With a wise mother, he is not averse to women's participation in politics.As long as he has no dissent, as long as he can help him govern the country well, he would rather hope that Du Jinning will become his political help.
