Chapter 878 Going to Lingnan to celebrate the New Year!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

No one expected Li Shilong to be so generous.

After five years of corvee service and five years of taxation, what will the court do then?
"Your Majesty, the two states of Jing and Yang are granaries. It's fine if they don't do corvee work for five years, but if they don't pay taxes for five years, where did the imperial court get so much food?" Du Jingming asked.

"Jingyun has already solved this problem." Li Shilong said with a smile: "Chengqian went to sea this time and helped Jingyun find many high-yielding crops. Now these crops are cultivated in Lingnan. By next year, they can be produced in large quantities. plant.

It is said that in just two or three years, people all over the world can have enough to eat.

Now, aren't the fertile lands of those wealthy and aristocratic families being taken over by the imperial court for their own use?
The harvest from those acres of land belongs to the imperial court! "

Zhuge Sui was in the best mood. These acres of land and grain would eventually be collected by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Also, the Agricultural College in Qinzhuang has also cultivated a new variety of rice, with an average yield of 670 kilograms per mu. I went to their experimental field last month and found that the highest yield per acre was [-] kilograms!"

Li Shilong rarely smiled when facing ministers. After all, he had to maintain the image of a tall king and father.

But when it comes to increasing grain production, I can’t bear to bear it.

"What? 670 pounds, so high?"

The crowd was amazed.

In previous years, Li Shilong would take his ministers to the fields to plant during spring plowing, so they also had some idea of ​​the rice yield.

If an acre of land can produce more than 300 kilograms, it is considered a high yield.

The weather must be good and the fields must be fertile.

670 pounds, this has doubled.

“This year’s rice seeds have been saved and will be planted in large areas around the capital next year.

Even if the two states of Jingyang are gone, there are still two large granaries, Annan and Lingnan, and trade routes to import grain. "

After listening to Li Shilong's words, Du Jingming felt strange in his heart. He always felt that he could not keep up with the emperor's rhythm.

But since the emperor has considerations, there is no need for him to say more.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Li Shilong stopped smiling, "The imperial court will invest all the money collected from below to help the people tide over the difficulties!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Everyone worshiped with sincerity.

After flattering Li Shilong, Li Shilong asked everyone to take their seats, and then Gao Shilian took out the imperial edict and read out: "Li Cungong, commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army, recruits the White Lotus Sect to avoid the destruction of all living beings. He is specially named King Cheng, with a bounty of one million, and is given a royal palace in Jiangnan. , Ueda Qianmu!”

"Thank you for your majesty's grace!" Li Cungong knew in his heart that he was finally sealed for the rest of his life.

"Liu Chenghu, specially granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom!"

The Shangzhu Kingdom is the highest level among the twelve levels of the Daqian Order.

Those who get the Shangzhu Kingdom can enjoy the treatment of the first and second grades regardless of their official position.

Liu Chenghu also has no reward. If Li Yue comes to power in the future, he will be the head of the country. You can't make him the king, right?

Qin Xiangru has been paddling the waters in this battle, and Li Shilong's rewards are also quite strange. He promised that after Qin Xiangru's death, he would be demoted to the hereditary and replaceable Duke of Qin.

After going around and around, I returned to the original position.

He was also rewarded with twenty fruitful nuns and a thousand acres of farmland.

Yuchi Nobuxiong made great contributions. Li Shilong thought about it and granted him the title of Shangzhu Kingdom.

Qin Xiangru's mocking laughter came from the side, and Yuchi Nobuxiong's teeth were broken.

If he catches the leader of the thief, he will definitely be crowned the county king.

Damn it, why do you do this to him?

Li Yue did not award the reward, but was scolded severely by Li Shilong, "You have been in Lingnan for more than a year and have not made any achievements. Instead, you were almost killed by a bandit.

Not only was there no success, but there was a big mistake. This time, Jiangnan was quelled, and the leader of the thieves was captured. It was difficult to make up for it. "

Li Yue knelt on the ground and did not excuse himself. He said with a face full of shame: "My son is guilty, please punish me!" Li Shilong saw that he did not explain for himself, his face turned slightly, "Leave the Thunder Army alone, and then personally Bring generous gifts and come to express your condolences to the families of the soldiers who were killed by you. Be sure to come to your door one by one. If one family is missing, I will reward you with a hundred royal sticks!"

"Yes, I obey the order!" Li Yue kowtowed quickly. He knew that Li Shilong was helping him win back his heart.

Li Xin sighed secretly in his heart, Li Yue was good at this and had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes.

Li Shilong seemed to be punishing him, but in fact he was helping him.

It not only demonstrated the emperor's divine grace, but also restored Li Yue's lost heart.

Taking back control of the Thunder Army was also for Li Yue.

To avoid being criticized.

"Come, have a drink and play music!" After dealing with Li Yue, the singer trained by the opera house came in. This performance can only be described in one word: spicy!

After the banquet was over, Qin Xiangru, who was slightly drunk, couldn't wait to return to the house, "My eldest daughter, dad is back!"

Qin Xiangru hurriedly ran in, but after turning around, he didn't find Qin Xiuying or Qin Shuangshuang.

"Butler, where did the person die?"

Qin Xiangru is awake now. This is wrong. Why are there so few people in the house?

"Grand grandson, Azu is back!"

Qin Xiangru shouted at the top of his lungs.

Dashan also ran over from the backyard, "Prince, it's gone, everyone is gone!"

"Who's gone?"

"Liugen, Sanjin, they all left!"

"Where can they go?" Qin Xiangru was confused.

The servant came over and said: "Your Majesty, the young master wrote a letter a few days ago and asked the second lady to take everyone to Lingnan to celebrate the New Year, saying that it is warm there!"

"What did you say?" Qin Xiangru was struck by lightning, "What should I do? Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"

"When did they go?"

"Just this morning, Princess Qi and Princess Jing'an were also there!"

"Then why didn't I meet them when I came back?" Qin Xiangru said: "They must not have left Beijing yet!"

With that said, he quickly got on his horse.

He knew that he was coming back today but still left without saying a word. Was this to let him stay alone in the capital?

At this time, Qin Xiuying and others were pulling fifty six-wheeled carriages with their families.

It was filled with things, all prepared for Qin Mo, for fear that Qin Mo would suffer in Lingnan.

"Brother Feng, are you happy to see daddy soon?"

The little guy was wearing a tiger head hat and was chubby. When he smiled, he showed two teeth. He looked exactly like Qin Mo.

Huo Lin'er is only seven months old, but her skin is quite white, just like Li Yushu. "Your cruel father finally thinks of us!"

Li Yushu teased his son, and his heart had already flown to Lingnan.

Chai Sitian's calf is extremely black. In the words of the housekeeper, it looks like it was fished out of the soy sauce farm.

But those big black and white eyes are indescribably smart, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has looked naive since he was a child.

As for the son of Chu Rui and the others, he is currently in the arms of the wet nurse.

On this trip, Qin Xiuying found twenty wet nurses alone, for fear that the children would be hungry on the way!

"Is everyone here? When everyone is here, you can leave!"
