Wind rises time and space gate

The prince was stunned by the emperor's question.

He has always had a reputation of being respectful and filial in front of the emperor, and rarely refutes. I just asked for love for the King of Yue, but when the emperor asked me this question, I was so frightened that I lost all my thoughts.

"I don't dare."

The prince dared not look at him, and no matter how much he wanted to win over the king of Yue, he did not dare to offend the emperor.

"I feel sorry for my seventh brother. In the past ten years, he has performed filial piety for us in the imperial mausoleum, but he has also injured his body. I want to find an easy and comfortable job for my seventh brother."

"The prince feels that Si Nongsi's job is not easy and comfortable enough?" the emperor said leisurely.

"My son, I didn't mean that." I didn't know how to say a thousand words suddenly.

Several thoughts flashed through his eyes as he stared at the floor tiles, "Si Nong Si encouraged the world to cultivate mulberry trees. When the dynasty was first established, Taizu set up this department with good intentions. I hope that the seventh brother can also understand the emperor's intentions."

"Well, step back." The emperor stopped looking at him.

"Yes. My dear, please leave." The prince respectfully stepped back with sweat on his forehead.

Returning to the East Palace, he told his attendants, "Go and tell the King of Yue that Si Nongsi has an important errand, so be sure to pay attention. Don't let down the Emperor's good intentions."

The attendant responded and left.

At the Yue Palace, after Zhao Guangyuan listened to the attendant in the East Palace conveying the prince's words, he asked Cao Cuo to reward him and send him away.

Jiang Wentao was indignant, "What does the emperor mean by this? My father and I thought that the emperor would idle the prince and let him become an idle member of the clan, but we never thought that he would send the prince to the Si Nong Division!"

Do you really think that the King of Yue liked farming and raising flowers and plants in the imperial mausoleum?

The fourteenth prince who was underage all took errands at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the fifteenth prince, who was only thirteen years old, also chose the Ministry of Punishment to observe the affairs. Which of the other princes didn't get a good job in the Sixth Department? Why did he arrange to go to the Sinong Division when he arrived at the prince's place?

It would be better to leave the prince idle.

All the confidants were indignant. "Your Majesty, why don't you complain of illness and stay in the mansion, and let your subordinates and others arrange the errands?"

When King Chu, King Qin and others received errands from the Six Ministries, they did not do it themselves. Most of them were done by their subordinates. Their princes can also follow suit.

"The King of Qin, King Chu and others have their own reliance. It would be inappropriate for the prince to shirk his errands." Some staff members disagreed. Nowadays, only Jiang Xiang dares to openly speak for the prince, and he still doesn't know how to punish the prince after offending the emperor.

Then we can't really let the prince farm.

The staff had a heated discussion.

"Since this is the Emperor's good intention, I cannot afford to neglect it." Zhao Guangyuan's expression showed no emotion or anger. "It's September now, and the autumn harvests in various places have either begun or been completed. The area along the state has been affected by the disaster. I'm afraid there will be no relief this winter."

Everyone didn't know how he came to talk about Yanzhou again. Wasn't he talking about his errand?

Jiang Wentao considered, "Does the prince have any plans?"

The prince has a deep chest and will not talk about Yanzhou for no reason.

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Since the Emperor has arranged for me to take charge of the Agriculture Department, I must make some achievements."

His good father was suspicious and arranged for him to go to the Agriculture Department, because he probably didn't believe that he was farming and raising flowers in the imperial mausoleum. King Chu and King Qin had just lost many good players, and his father might be suspicious of him. I wanted to use this to test his depth. These "good intentions" cannot be let down.

"People along the prefecture were affected by the disaster this summer, and there is no grain for the autumn harvest. I'm afraid winter will be difficult." No matter how hard you eat the little disaster relief food you receive, I'm afraid it won't last for next summer's harvest.

"I happen to have a few vegetable seeds in my hand, which can be planted by the people in the Yanzhou area. In winter, I will send people to the Yanzhou area to buy them and transport them back to the capital and the north for sale. The people in the north can also add some seeds to their meals in winter. Two vegetables, two compartments are convenient, and it is also a subsidy for the people along the state."

Everyone was stunned. Let the people affected by the disaster in Yanzhou grow vegetables now? Will it be transported to the capital and the north for sale in winter?

It's really a matter of convenience. It snows heavily in the capital in winter, and vegetable leaves are rarely seen. Some spring onions are more expensive than meat. It would be a great blessing to have one or two vegetables to eat. only……

“The autumn and winter along the prefecture are not very warm either, and the journey to the capital is long...” The vegetables may not have been put away.

All the staff felt that although the prince had good intentions and had donated grain before, he was now thinking about the livelihood of the people along the state in winter and worrying about the people's livelihood and his heart was sincere.

It's just that the prince's heart is good, but it may not be so easy to implement.

"It's okay, I have my own plan." Zhao Guangyuan didn't want to mention it more, and he was afraid of outsiders prying into it. The virtual and the real are just right.

He only told Jiang Wentao, "Send a message across the state and ask Lin Jingning to prepare vegetable seeds. Let Zhuangzi over there personally send someone to deliver the vegetable seeds to Yanzhou."

Jiang Wentao was confused when he heard this, but he couldn't object to the King of Yue's arrangement face to face. Complied.

After everyone left, Jiang Wentao stayed in the study and said, "Your Majesty..." Please help your subordinates clear up their doubts.

This kind of vegetable is good. If there is a harvest in winter, the people along the state will also have income. Even if it can't be sold, it will end up in the stomach, but it can still make a full stomach. Is it really possible? Want to sell it to the capital?

What is the prince’s intention?

"Don't worry, it can be done." Zhao Guangyuan nodded. Thinking that Jiang Wentao and Jiang Xiang were worried about his errand, they told him a few words about their plans.

He originally took the high-yield seeds from Xia'er and planted them in Yuezhou. After several years of localized planting, they have adapted to the climate of Daqi. After selecting the seeds, he has harvested a lot.

I'm afraid that other seeds will end up making wedding dresses for others, so try a few vegetable seeds first. They are inconspicuous and can still achieve the purpose.

"It is no longer possible to grow food in the area along the state. It is convenient to plant some short-term vegetables first, and then make them into dried vegetables, pickles, and dehydrated vegetables, and transport them to the capital."

Dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, or dehydrated dried vegetables? What's this?

Jiang Wentao looked confused. Did the prince really research the art of high-yield farming in the imperial mausoleum?

"It's too early to say that now. Once the seeds are planted, I will send people to teach the people along the state how to make them."

Jiang Wentao didn't ask. He thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we open a workshop there? Then we will collect the food from the people, prepare it, and our people will transport it back to the capital and the north for sale. I'm afraid better."

Zhao Guangyuan thought for a while and then agreed.

There were probably a lot of people staring at him. Once he lets the people in Yanzhou grow vegetables, they will probably wonder about his intentions. It would not be a good idea if someone ruins it. Under the guidance of your own workshop in planting, purchasing and production, you can also prevent others from sabotaging and maliciously competing with the market.

"Then let's do it like this. Let Yuezhou Zhuangzi send a few people to Yanzhou to open shops and set up workshops. Write the letter directly to Lin Jingning. He knows how many seeds to prepare and what kind of seeds to prepare."

Lin Jingning now vaguely knew about his relationship with Chang Zhi and Xia'er, and she was even more determined to plan for him. Now he has transferred Lin Jingning to the Military Supplies Department, specifically in charge of stocking fields and grain. Lin Jingning has helped experiment with growing various grains over the years, and has gained a lot of experience in what kind of environment and what kind of seeds to sow.

The letter from Prince Yue's Mansion was sent out, and everyone in the capital knew that he was sent to the Agriculture Department by the emperor.
