"I have been suffering from drought in spring for many years, the germination rate of grain is low, and the people have been starving, you know this?" Dai Xuan smiled bitterly and asked slowly.

"Yes, but this spring drought is a matter of God, what does it have to do with me being sent to prison?" The more Hou Junji listened, the more confused he became, and the more he listened, the more angry he became.

"The climate is indeed not something we can control, but this potato is very suitable for growing in arid places, and the yield is extremely high, if it is popularized on a large scale, the people of our dynasty can achieve that everyone has food to eat, and the emperor no longer has to worry about food shortages." Dai Xuan put his hands behind his back and looked at him with a serious face.

"It's also ......" Hou Junji's eyes lit up, and he felt that what Dai Xuan said was very reasonable.

Now the grain, the yield per mu is not more than three or four hundred catties, and this potato is ten times that of ordinary grain, it is indeed very considerable, the key is so drought-tolerant, if it is really promoted, the people of Datang not only do not worry about food, but also accumulate strength for the expedition.

"But what does this have to do with putting me in prison?"

Although he agrees with Dai Guan's opinion and hopes that this potato can be promoted as soon as possible, he can't ask for his head for these hundreds of catties, right?

"Who says it doesn't matter? Although this potato is delicious, it is also a growing grain, and you snatch the growing grain home to eat, what else can you promote? ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Hou Junji now finally understands why the emperor is angry.

"So what you grabbed is not just a few hundred catties of potatoes, but the food and clothing of my people, and the national fortune of my Datang." Dai Xuan carried his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and told him the seriousness of the matter, "If all the ministers are like you, they think that grabbing a few potatoes is not a big deal, then how can this potato be promoted......?" ”

"You said the emperor wants to kill you, right?"

"Uh...... Forehead ......"

Hou Junji only understood the seriousness of the matter at this time.

In fact, he didn't intend to rob it, but just asked his subordinates to buy a few and come back to eat, who knew that Zhao Yin's housekeeper said that he was not at home, so those subordinates only arrived.

After he came back, he didn't care, thinking that it was just to order food, and if he grabbed it, he would rob it, what else could he do.

Unexpectedly, it was such a few inconspicuous potatoes that made him offend the colt and send him to this death row.

No wonder the emperor wants to send a thousand cow guards to catch himself, if everyone goes to grab a few hundred catties, even if the yield per mu is 10,000 catties, it is not enough!

"I'm not wronged, the emperor is right." After Hou Junji realized the seriousness of the matter, he hung his head and said ruthlessly.

Dai Xuan saw that Hou Junji knew that he was not stubborn and that he was not stubborn, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "The emperor's hard work has not been in vain. ”

If he refuses to bow his head, Zhao Yin's tone will not disappear, and then this matter will be difficult to do.

After all, he has been fighting all his life, and the emperor will definitely not be willing to kill him.

If it is not severely punished, Zhao Yin will not hand over the method of preservation.

The promotion of potatoes will fall into a dead end again.

But now, as long as Hou Junji is willing to let go, the next thing will be much simpler.

"The emperor's painstaking ......?"

Hou Junji's eyes lit up.

Listening to the implication of Dai Guan's words, it seems to say that he still has a way to live?

"Yes, as long as you return all those potatoes, apologize, and give some compensation, this matter will be settled, and the emperor will not investigate it deeply."

Dai Xuan nodded and continued: "But you have to be sincere, you must get Zhao Gongzi's forgiveness, otherwise you will ......!" ”

"Good...... Good...... I know! ”

Hou Junji nodded again and again, "Old Dai, thank Your Majesty Long En for me when I go back." ”

"Okay, I have to bring it, but you have to tell me how much ...... you can compensate first?" Dai Xuan tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and asked expressionlessly.

The emperor asked him to go to Zhao Yin, then he would definitely ask how Hou Junji disposed of it, and if he was not satisfied with the results, he still couldn't get the method of keeping potatoes fresh.

So I will explore Hou Junji's tone, and I will give Zhao Yin an answer when the time comes.

"What compensation ......?"

Hou Junji didn't understand for a while, and asked with a wink.

"You sent troops to people's homes to grab potatoes and injured many people, don't you have to compensate for this?"

Dai Xuan thought that he was distressed about money and was unwilling to compensate, so he came to Hou Junji's side, pretending to be mysterious and said: "I might as well tell you directly, whether the potatoes can be promoted this time, in fact, it is all on Zhao Yin, if he doesn't nod, your head still can't be saved." ”

"Good...... Good...... As long as you can make that kid ...... Oh, no...... Look at my mouth, as long as I can make Zhao Yuma angry, I can compensate as much as I want. ”

Seeing that Hou Junji was so refreshing, Dai Zhou also had a bottom in his heart.

"That's okay, I'll go over and help you say good things, and try to let the emperor release you as soon as possible."

"There is Lao Dai Shangshu."

Hou Junji crossed the iron railing and saluted Dai Guan.

Now as long as you can save your life, you don't have any money.

"Lu Guogong will be wronged for a few more days, and I will leave first."

After Dai Xuan finished speaking, he walked out quickly.

This hellish place is really not for people, and the smell is too big.......

"I don't know what Zhao Yin's origin is, even the emperor has to look at his face." Dai Xuan muttered as he walked.

Hou Junji in the prison squatted in the corner of the wall, secretly recalling what Dai Xuan said just now.

According to his meaning, as long as the kid is satisfied, the emperor will issue an order to let him go.

It seems that this Zhao Yin's status in the emperor's heart is extraordinary!

"Alas......!"

If I knew this, I wouldn't have said anything to grab those potatoes.

How did this provoke such a big Buddha?

He glanced up at the dark and damp prison and sighed, "Alas! I don't know when I'll be able to get out! ”

......

"Ahem, what is this for? Why are you choking so much......"

As soon as Princess Changle walked into the back kitchen of the Horse Building, she was choked by the strong smell of chili peppers.

Zhao Yin was instructing those people to make hot pot bases.

He plans to open in the next few days, so the base has to be boiled out today.

In order not to leak her skills, she found some simple and capable women in the tenants' homes, and divided the work among them, so that everyone could go back to receive money as long as they finished their share of work.

And the final boiling is done by himself.

Once this unique secret flows out, how will he make money in the future.

"It's choking people inside, how can he still stay?" Princess Changle covered her nose and walked to the door.

She originally wanted to learn how to cook the hot pot base so that she could make it for her father and mother in the future, but as soon as she walked in, she was choked by the strong smell of chili peppers.

But she wondered why Zhao Yin could stay in the kitchen unharmed, that is, he didn't cough, and he didn't feel choked at all.

Is it some kind of talent?
