Chapter 697

His Majesty was overjoyed after receiving the news.

He took the booklet presented by Mr. Lu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and carefully read it three times, and then laughed.

"Okay, very good, really good."

He said three good words in one breath, which is enough to see how happy His Majesty is at the moment.

Yes, in the past, he had been worrying about food for the common people, food reserves for the state treasury, and so on.

But now, someone actually invented a method to increase rice production, and the experiment was successful!
This is a great thing for Daqi as a whole.

From now on, the food problem of the common people can be solved, and the treasury of Daqi State can also become more full.

Food is the foundation of a country. After stabilizing this point, the development of their Daqi country will become more and more prosperous.

And with this method to increase rice production, their Daqi country will definitely become a country with a large grain output.

In this way, it will definitely be admired, admired and respected by other countries.

After all, there are still some nomads who are not rich in grain and salt at all. If they want to eat grain, they have to exchange or trade materials with Daqi.

Even in previous battles, the principle of food and grass first was also accepted.

In an instant, too many thoughts flashed through Qi Heng's mind.

Those ideas are closely related to the future development of Daqi Kingdom.

Hubu Shangshu Lord Lu stood quietly waiting for His Majesty to vent his excitement, and then he spoke a few words of praise very eloquently.

All the words of praise he said took into account the people's livelihood of Daqi, including the bright future of Daqi.

That is to say, it conforms to his status as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and what he said is just right, and he patted Qi Heng's flattery while keeping his face, which made Qi Heng even happier when he heard it.

Qi Heng smiled and praised Mr. Lu, saying that he has vision and is good at discovering talents. He is a pillar of the Great Qi Kingdom.

After praising the Minister of the Household Department, His Majesty did not forget Prince Mu.

Bai Yiyi was able to sit in the current position from a grassroots person, and Prince Mu's recommendation was indispensable.

Qi Heng knew that Bai Yi got Prince Mu's care because he married Prince Mu's daughter who had been missing for many years.

But no matter what, that Bai Yi is really a very capable person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the hero of the entire Great Qi Kingdom.

So Qi Heng ordered Prince Xuan Mu to bring Bai Yi into the palace to face the saint.

He wanted to meet the hero Bai Yi in person, and give him some rewards by the way.

In the White House.

Tian Yi had just returned home from the busy work in the experimental field, and was talking to his family about the situation in the experimental field when he heard a message from a young man outside.

Said that Prince Mu came to look for him.

They immediately ordered the servants to invite Prince Mu in, and Bai Yi and the others went out to greet him.

After coming in and saying hello briefly, Prince Mu explained the purpose of his visit this time.

"What? You said today's emperor summoned our family's providence?" Mr. Bai exclaimed.

"You old man, what are you making all the fuss about? Our family's Tianyi is now an official of the imperial court. Isn't it normal to be summoned by His Majesty?"

Mrs. Li showed a bit of sneer at Mr. Bai's ignorance.

But in fact, Mrs. Li is also very happy.

Although she seemed to dislike Mr. Bai for not seeing the world, the smile on her face couldn't be restrained at all.

"Your Majesty wants to see... see me? Can you not go? If not, what should I do when I see Your Majesty? What should I say?"

Compared with the happiness of other members of the family, Bai Yi, the person involved, seemed particularly nervous.

An honest person like him would always just bow his head and work hard, but he doesn't know how to communicate with others.

Especially since the person he was going to face in a while was His Majesty, he was afraid that what he said was wrong, which would annoy His Majesty, and then something bad would happen.

"God's will, look at your cowardice, what is there to be afraid of, it is your blessing that His Majesty wants to see you, no matter how many people ask for it, why are you still coy?"

"Look at your daughter-in-law, she is calmer than you." Granny Li couldn't help complaining when she looked at her ineffective eldest son.

"God's will, don't be afraid! You are the pride of our Bai family. Just go to see His Majesty and behave yourself. You can answer whatever His Majesty asks."

In contrast, old man Bai comforted him with a kind attitude.

"God's will, it doesn't matter. I will enter the palace with you. Why panic when I'm here?" Prince Mu couldn't help but speak.

The son-in-law of his family is good at everything, but he has not seen much in the world, so he is a little timid.

"Father, can you be in a hurry to be summoned by His Majesty? If you are not in a hurry, let the head of the house change clothes first." At this time, Yan asked.

"Well, go." Prince Mu took a look at Bai Yi's appearance, then nodded to Yan Shi.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan saluted and bid farewell to the people present, and then returned to her yard with the intention of the day to freshen up.

During this process, Yan Shi also spoke a few words of comfort to Bai Yi.

After Bai Yi changed his clothes, Yan even helped him adjust the corners of the clothes.

Looking at the gentle and elegant Yan in front of him, thinking about the whole family's concern for him, Bai Yi's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

Yeah, what's there to be nervous about?
He had already completed his mission and made no mistakes. His Majesty called him over, and he must have something to ask him.

When the time comes, he will answer seriously.

What's so stressful about this?
After sitting in the carriage entering the palace, Prince Mu enlightened Bai Yi a few more words, and then asked suddenly.

"God's will, if His Majesty wants to reward you this time and asks you what you want, how will you answer?"

"I don't want anything. Even if His Majesty wants to award rewards according to merit, the credit should not be mine." Bai Yi shook his head.

He is already very satisfied to be a small official of the household department, and he doesn't want to go up.

He has always known that being an official is very complicated, and his temperament is really not suitable for being an official.

For him, he really likes farming and studying the things in the land.

If possible, he would rather stay in his current position and continue working hard.

Besides, he didn't come up with the idea of ​​increasing rice production, it was the younger sister Bai Jinli who told him after thinking about it.

He just took advantage of it and tried it out according to what the younger sister said.

It doesn't matter if my younger sister teaches that method to anyone, or gives those people to anyone, as long as the person she gives is willing to practice it, they can reach his current level.

If you want to say the credit, it should also be the credit of the younger sister.

"It shouldn't be yours, so whose should it be?"

"It's my little sister, it's the people who worked hard to farm the land with me, it belongs to everyone."

"God's will, you're right to think so, but you can't say that in front of His Majesty."

After hearing this, Prince Mu first felt his honesty, and then helped him analyze why he couldn't say that.

Immediately afterwards, he summed up various questions that His Majesty might ask, and taught him by the way.

After Prince Mu finished speaking, Bai Yiyi was already dumbfounded.

Sure enough, there are still a lot of roads here.

He has learned a lot along the way.

"Thank you, Father-in-law, for your teaching." Bai Baiyi sincerely thanked him.

If Prince Mu didn't tell him about these things, he would have to think about them for a long time.

"You're welcome. They're all from my family. It should be. God's will, we're here. Let's get out of the car."

"Well, Yue Zhang please first."

After arriving in the imperial study, Bai Yi followed behind Prince Mu and saluted His Majesty who was sitting at the desk.

That look is very honest and well-behaved, and there is even awe and admiration for His Majesty in his eyes.

Qi Heng smiled and let them go down without courtesy, and even gave them a seat.

Bai Yi only dared to sit on the front quarter of the stool, and he sat upright, with his back straight and his eyes not wandering casually.

"Bai Aiqing, I already know that you have grown rice to increase production. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I am very pleased. I don't know what Bai Aiqing wants?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I just abide by my duties and dare not take credit." Bai Tian stood up and lowered his head in reply.

"Abiding by duty? Well, if all the officials in my Great Qi Kingdom think like you do, then I will be much more relaxed."

"Your Majesty's praise." Bai Yi said.

"Bai Aiqing, am I scary?"

"No, Your Majesty, it's the fault of your majesty. I used to be just a commoner. I never thought that I would see His Majesty's beauty one day. I am really excited and nervous. I hope your majesty will make amends."

Having said this, Bai Yi suddenly knelt down.

"What is Bai Aiqing's crime, get up."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

"How about Bai Aiqing tell me, what do you do in the experimental field?" Qi Heng didn't see Bai Yi's nervousness, so he asked on purpose.

As today's emperor, his eyes are very vicious.

He has almost seen what kind of person Bai Yi is.

For this person, he has some good feelings, so he is willing to give such a pillar of talent some opportunities.

Asking this question is because Qi Heng deliberately eased Bai Yi's tension.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After I went to the experimental field, first..."

After Bai Yi opened his mouth to talk about his career, his whole person was really different compared to just now.

There was respect for His Majesty in his tone, as well as a true feedback on objective facts.

On the way, he didn't mention half of his credit, but he said a lot of good things for the people who worked in the land.

During the period, he also inadvertently mentioned that the appearance of the bus carriage and donkey cart is so convenient, how the common people secretly praised it.

He is such a simple and honest person, his words are all from the bottom of his heart, without any exaggeration.

It was also because of this that His Majesty felt even more relieved after hearing what he said.

Bai Yiyi is not the kind of flattering person, even he said that the bus carriage and the donkey cart are good, and he also talked about everyone's praise for it.

Including what he mentioned about the people's emphasis on the experimental field, and after he made efforts to increase rice production, he was particularly ironed in his heart.

These are obviously not praises for him, but in Qi Heng's ears, they are all affirmations of his majesty.

It is also the good expectation of the people for the future of the Great Qi Kingdom.

He, as His Majesty, was also very happy to hear and see such vigorous vigor in the people.

Reward, must be rewarded!
