Not to mention that Gu Guangyi and his wife were angry and angry, but they could only swallow their anger and persuade their daughter to be soft, otherwise what else could they do? After all, the king of Xinyang is the grandson of the phoenix and the dragon, and the royal bloodline has no reason for him to be wronged. What's more, do the Gu family's father and son have the courage to find the famous and tyrannical King Xinyang to reason? That's the master who even dares to cut off his own father!

Not to mention that the Gu family tasted the taste of knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been trembling recently, for some reason, the emperor's temper has become more and more irritable recently, and he often reprimands the ministers for some trivial matters, especially Shang Pingqi, the secretary of the ministry, Liu Mingbing, the right attendant of the military department, and Liu Shan, the prince of Zhenguo, always feel that the emperor's gaze always falls on their backs, which makes people's hearts cold and bitter in their mouths, but they don't know why they are remembered by the emperor.

A few months passed in an instant, and on this morning, the monarchs and ministers discussed the relief of the great drought in Sichuan, and there was no surplus in the granary, and finally Zhu Zhanji made a decision, and allocated 40,000 stone of grain from the Beijing warehouse to send Yang Rong to Sichuan to help the victims.

At this moment, Gu Guangyi, the left attendant of the ministry, said: "Since the time of Taizu, my dynasty has cultivated and recuperated, and the population has become more and more prosperous, but the wasteland has been reclaimed for many years, and there is no possibility of increasing the grain acres. The population is large, and food rations are naturally scarce. Every time the minister thinks about it, he often worries about himself. Under the attention of many years, fortunately, the emperor was fortunate to let the ministers find good seeds, a corn, a sweet potato, since the ministers got these two kinds of grains, so that people carefully bred on our Zhuangzi. Thank you for your blessing! Now it's both productive! ”

He was very excited, and took out a record from his sleeve: "Holy Lord, please look! This is the yield per mu of each grain species of the minister's family! Corn yields 1,220 catties per mu! Sweet potato yield is 1,000 and 7 catties per mu! ”

The Manchu Dynasty was suddenly in a sensation, and the elder Yang Tinghe was so excited that his white beard was trembling, and he stepped forward and grabbed Gu Guangyi and said, "Are you true?!" ”

The most excited person was the head of the household book, Xia Yuanji, who folded his hands and looked at the sky and bowed: "Thank you, God!" Emperor! This is really my first blessing! ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in a mess, all whispering to each other, or dancing with their hands, and no one noticed that the emperor who should have been the happiest was gloomy.

Zhu Zhanji stood on the throne, staring at Gu Guangyi gloomily, it turned out to be him! He squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Guangyi carefully, and sighed, this person was originally kept by him to replace one of the three Yangs, but it's a pity.

He said lightly, "Gu Qing, where did you get these seeds?" ”

Gu Guangyi bowed down and replied: "The minister has always made people pay attention to the novel grain varieties everywhere, and it was not until last year that these two things were inadvertently discovered in Nanyang, and the minister did not dare to play rashly, and it was not until the day before yesterday that the two kinds of grain were harvested, and the minister dared to play according to the facts." ”

Zhu Zhanji seemed to smile: "According to the facts? Gu Qing has really worked hard. Gu Qing, can you take some of these two grains to show everyone their vision? ”

Gu Guangyi said respectfully: "The minister has already brought some corn and sweet potatoes, just outside the palace." Without the emperor's holy decree, the ministers did not dare to take the liberty to submit it. ”

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and said, "Take them all and show them to everyone." ”

Two plates of corn and sweet potatoes filled with red brocade on jade plates were handed up and displayed one by one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty. Caused a stir of amazement. Zhu Zhanji tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Liu Anke behind him: "Go and tell Xu Chenghai, he knows what to do." ”

Liu Anke, who had been standing silently behind Zhu Zhanji, glanced at Gu Guangyi with some pity: Alas! It's a pity! is so talented and good-looking, and has always had a good reputation, who knows, I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart! It was calculated behind Miss Li's head! Alas! It's a pity, isn't this equivalent to digging out the emperor's eyeballs? Alas! It's a pity, these years of hard work! All these years of hard work! I'm afraid that this dynasty will be buried!

That night, Xu Chenghai secretly said to the emperor: "The ministers have checked all the Gu Shilang's house, and there is no trace of Miss Li." Could it be that Miss Li's boat has nothing to do with Gu Shilang? ”

Zhu Zhanji's face sank like water: "Where is there such a coincidence in this world?" Gu Guangyi just got the seeds stolen by Li Han? It would be strange if there were no ghosts here! You keep checking for me! Check out the details of the Gu family carefully! I feel that his family must have something to do with Li Han! ”

Xu Chenghai bowed down and got up. Zhu Zhanji lowered his head and looked at the copy that Gu Guangyi presented this morning, snorted coldly, and raised his voice to order Liu Anke: "Decree: Give the Hanlin Academy to revise Gu Cong as the four-grade animal husbandry envoy, and go to various places to promote corn and sweet potato grain seeds, and when the people of the whole country have their food, I will give him credit!" ”

When the Gu family received this will, they were all stupid at that time. Shi Shi didn't wait for the little yellow door of the decree to leave, and then cried "wow": "Didn't you say that if the food is offered, the emperor will greatly reward our family?" But how to let Cong'er promote what kind of food?! This place is so big in the country, it is promoted everywhere, not to mention the mountains and rivers, but when will it be back! Oh, my son! ”

Gu Cong is also stupid, promoting grain varieties? There are so many deep mountains and wilderness in the country, and there are so many barren miasma in the country, how to go here!

He looked at his father for help. Gu Guangyi, who had always been shrewd, was rarely at a loss, and he pondered for a long time before he reluctantly said to Gu Cong: "The heavens have sent a great responsibility to the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones. The emperor has entrusted you with this great task, just to trust you! As soon as you entered the office, you were given the position of four grades! You look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who has reached the fourth rank at the age of the weak crown? Your Majesty, this is rewarding our family! Now the six books are in their positions, and I have to wait for them to have vacancies for my father, the emperor must have taken this into account, and it is not easy to arrange, so the credit fell on your head, you don't forget the phrase 'the people take food as the sky'! If you can really go all over the world in a down-to-earth manner, bring this high-yield grain for the people, and teach them to plant, you are the Buddha of the people! How much prestige will you have then? At that time, I'm afraid that the emperor will let you enter the cabinet directly! You should seize this opportunity! Don't be afraid of hardship! You must know that you have to endure hardships to become a master! ”

In desperation, Gu Cong had to pack his bags, regardless of the crying Hu Shanhui, who was trying to stop him, and embarked on the road of running around. The wind and rain all the way, hard work, so that the young master Gu, who has always been pampered and accustomed to enjoying honor, complained bitterly, and he was so tired that he couldn't get up in the inn after a few days on the road, and it had been a month since his worn thighs scabbed over and then on the road, and at his speed, he would have to wait until the next life to run all over the country.
