After a period of foreshadowing, after the morning of this day, several princes followed the emperor to the imperial study. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Jing, the head of the household, said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it was too cold last winter, which caused many houses to be destroyed by snow, and some people left their hometowns to beg for a living, so farming was not timely. This year's grain production is likely to have an impact. In addition, this tax burden will probably be reduced as a result. ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, and looked at his sons on the side, "You also tell me, what should I do when something like this happens?"

The prince stepped forward and said, "Erchen thinks that the tax burden should be appropriately reduced and the displaced people should be guided to return to their hometowns. It's not yet June, and I'm barely able to make a living by farming some other crops. ”

Gao Shangshu stroked his beard with a smile and praised, "The prince is benevolent, thanks to His Majesty's personal teaching. For a while, everyone responded, and the emperor was happy.

The second prince waited for everyone to finish patting the emperor and the crown prince before he stood up and said, "Erchen also agrees with what the imperial brother said. But is there anything else that can be thought of?"

"If you have any opinions, speak up. "The emperor is in a good mood, and he doesn't care about what the second prince says.

"Erchen heard that someone once planted green vegetables in winter, and summer melons could ripen in May. Is that the method that can also make the late-planted crops mature on schedule?" Dongfang Huayuan saw that the crown prince seemed to be a little disagreeing, so he looked at the emperor.

The emperor had eaten the summer melon sent by the prince, and rewarded him with a garden for it. So when I heard the second prince say this, I instinctively disliked it. But how could someone who could sit in this seat be happy? So there was no emotion revealed.

The second prince continued, "After hearing about this, Erchen has visited many places, trying to find someone who has this craft, but unfortunately he has not found it. I heard that the royal brother and the man knew each other......"

The prince's face was a little gloomy and said, "I can't talk about acquaintance, it's just that I saw that the summer melon was good, and I bought some." ”

"If the royal brother can contact that person, it is better to understand with him. If all the people of my Dayan Dynasty could learn this craft, then many people would not be hungry in winter. The second prince's words were earnest, and he made a deep bow to the prince.

Xie Rui, the head of the household, said on the side, "This matter is very good, if it can really be like this, it is my great luck to extend the dynasty." What if you can't just grow vegetables? The winters are long, and a lot of land is empty, which is a waste. Wouldn't it be better if we took advantage of some short-term crops?"

If the land is not vacant, then the common people will have more harvests, more harvests, more taxes, more money, stronger soldiers and horses, and the development of national strength. And the people have spare money in their hands, no matter how they use it, it also promotes economic development, and thus the national strength has also developed.

Anyone can calculate this account, and the emperor is even more accurate. If agriculture can be greatly developed during his reign, I am afraid that it will be recorded in the history books in the future.

"Prince, come and talk about it. Is this possible?"

When the emperor spoke, the crown prince naturally couldn't help but respond. The second prince is waiting to see a good show! The foreshadowing in front of him has been done very well, and whether the prince is in favor or against, the benefits will fall on him.

If this matter is done, he will have a share of the work of running, admonishing, and even the next promotion. And the crown prince not only fell into the stigma of not caring about the people's national affairs and only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun, but also betrayed the people around him, which made people's teeth cold.

If this doesn't happen...... If the crown prince openly said no to the emperor, wouldn't he lose the emperor's heart? Whether it is loyalty or righteousness, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve both.

The prince secretly scolded this royal brother in his heart for being vicious, and dug a pit for himself to jump. Fortunately, Dongfang Xu sent him a clever plan, otherwise, he would not have left any benefits.

"Father, my lords. The prince stepped forward and said solemnly, "Standing here alone, it is natural to think about the people of the world and the court." Since he came into contact with the summer melon, Lone and the merchant carefully explored the matter. He glanced at the second prince, "If this is feasible, how can you turn a blind eye?"

The second prince felt that the prince's quibble was a bit far-fetched, so he smiled and said, "Then the royal brother will talk to everyone carefully." ”

The crown prince looked at the emperor with some sadness on his face, as if he was helpless for his brothers and sisters to be so aggressive, which made the emperor frown slightly. However, the stakes were high, and he had to understand why, so he said, "In that case, you should tell me carefully about the situation." ”

"I will do what my father wills. The prince put away the expression on his face, and saw that Gao Shangshu smiled at his encouragement, so he said loudly, "I have discussed it carefully with that merchant, and that merchant is also a sensible person, so he immediately explained the method to Gu in detail, without any concealment. But after listening to it, he was disappointed. The prince sighed, with regret on his face, "This planting method of his is called greenhouse cultivation. It is to put some plants with a short growth period in a specially built greenhouse. The conservatory is surrounded by a low wall to leave a flue. A constant fire is required to maintain the temperature in the room. On the low wall, white kraft paper or glass with good light transmission should be used to build a canopy, so that the things planted inside can have sufficient sunlight. ”

Seeing that the prince no longer spoke, many people were a little confused. Xie Rui asked, "Since His Highness has mastered the method, why don't you ......" This means that the prince is hiding his secrets.

Gao Shangshu snorted coldly, "Your Highness does things, and you still use you to point fingers!"

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Xie Rui hurriedly lowered his head, today's gang was already a little obvious, he was messing around under Gao Jing's hands, but he didn't dare to go too far.

The prince glanced at Xie Rui and continued unhurriedly, "It's just that this prince doesn't understand farming, why are you so ignorant? Let's not talk about how much manpower and material resources it took to burn charcoal day and night, let's just say that the kraft paper and glass of dozens of zhang were bought by a few people? If the shed is small, it is not enough to plant that little thing, if it is big...... Who's going to pay for that?"

Gao Shangshu nodded, "Your Highness is reasonable, according to this calculation, even an ordinary wealthy family can't afford it." If the wealthy and nobles want to ride, they will only eat for themselves, and they will not go out to sell. It seems that there is no way to promote this thing now, and it is really a bit of a chicken rib. ”

Therefore, after Gu understood it, he did not bother to do that thing to compete with the people. If you want to eat in the future, you will go to him to buy it, why bother taking away other people's livelihoods for this kind of thing. "When the prince should be arrogant, he is not ambiguous. That little money, he really didn't look at it.

The emperor looked at the crown prince and couldn't help but nodded, and then looked at the second prince with an embarrassed face and the third prince who pretended to be invisible, and sighed in his heart. "Well, since this doesn't work, let's put it down. It is really unseemly to rob openly and secretly for the sake of some money. ”
