Chapter Seventy-One: Licking the Dog

The official office of the Great Agricultural Order is not far away.

Riding in a carriage, it takes less than a stick of incense to arrive.

Zhuo Wenjun didn't follow, after all, she was a woman from a merchant family with a low status.

A middle-aged man in an official robe waited outside the door early.

Seeing Tang Qi get out of the car, the middle-aged man hurriedly caught up: "Xiaguan Taicang ordered Chen Heng, I have seen the big farmer order!" ”

"How did you know I was coming?" Tang Qi asked curiously.

Chen Heng suddenly laughed: "The lower officials and others know that Mr. Tang has woken up, and he has been appointed as a farmer again, and they are preparing to go to the mansion together to congratulate him." Who would have thought that as soon as he went out, he met a small servant sent to the house to deliver a name post, saying that the big peasant order was already on the way to the official office. ”

"What a coincidence." Tang Qi shook his head, "If I had known, I would have stayed at home with peace of mind, and I would have saved myself such a long run." ”

In just one sentence, the distance between the two was shortened.

Chen Heng was not so nervous, and got out of the way: "Da Nong Order, please!" ”

Walking into the courtyard, Tang Qi was stunned.

I saw that hundreds of officials were standing in the front yard, stretching their necks and not knowing what they were waiting for.

Looks like the whole government office is here!

"What is this for?" Tang Qi asked, "What special day is today?" ”

Even if it is to welcome Shangguan, there is no need to engage in such a big battle.

Chen Heng coughed lightly and said: "Colleagues, this is the Xianmen disciple that His Majesty said, the Great Agricultural Order who brought immortal seeds to the Han Dynasty, and settled Mr. Tang!" ”

only heard the sound of "boom", and everyone exploded in an instant.

"I've seen sir!"

"Sir, you're here!"

"Who said it wasn't, the Great Agricultural Order really has a good relationship with our subordinate officials!"

"On the day I took office, I came to the official office to order something, and the big farmer order is really a model for me!"

"Is the gentleman well?"

"Let me let let let me, I can't see clearly!"

Hundreds of people dressed in official uniforms, from white-haired and gray-haired teenagers to teenagers with collagen-covered faces, Wuyang and Wuyang squeezed around.

Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs.

The dignified Han and Great Agricultural Decree Office seems to have become a chicken farm in an instant.

I know that the new competent official has taken office, and if I don't know, I think I am chasing stars!

Tang Qi was dumbfounded: "What is this all for?" ”

Didn't you say that you were in a coma for ten days, what is the performance of these people?

"Ahem, forgive me, everyone has been holding back for too long." Chen Heng couldn't help but blush, "Your Majesty said the effect of the god seed, and everyone didn't believe it at that time. After all kinds of inquiries, I learned that the inner grain depot was indeed no longer able to pile up. ”

"After knowing the facts, we have great admiration for you! In recent years, the Han Dynasty has been fighting every year, and disasters in various places have continued, and the food pressure is greater every year. ”

"The divine seed that the great farmer ordered you to bring can be said to be able to save the lives of the people up and down the Han Dynasty!"

It turned out that the harvest had not been good in the past few years, and there was a disaster relief and a war, and the government office was under great pressure, so it can be said that they were desperately looking for food.

In particular, the Taicang Order, which is in charge of the grain depot, is blocked by officials everywhere almost every day to ask for grain.

But Curry can run mice, where is the food!

"Even if there is, it must be given priority to supply the border army." Chen Heng complained with a bitter face, "The Xiongnu invade the border every year, and there is no way to harvest the border in peace, and the comfort of the dead soldiers also needs food, and most of the reserve grain in Taicang is allocated to the border counties." ”

"After the poor harvest in the counties, the imperial court has no surplus grain to take out relief, so it can only order the local officials to raise their own food, I don't know how many colleagues scold the officials behind their backs!"

"If it weren't for the more than 1.5 million catties of grain that appeared out of thin air, Xia Guan wouldn't know how to live this year!"

In the end, Chen Heng actually turned red in his eyes, which shows how ruthless he was forced.

Tang Qi touched his nose and was a little embarrassed to be praised.

Wenjingzhizhi did accumulate a lot of capital for the Han Dynasty, but the helpless war was a money-burning business, not to mention the war with the Xiongnu, which could be called a long-term national war!

No amount of food can stop burning.

In addition, the centralization of power in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty was still in its embryonic form, and the local families were as big as the families, and as small as the local heroes, they would hide the acres of land and not pay taxes!

The central government can't help it yet!

Not to mention the fiefdoms of marquises, princely kingdoms, and so on, which are legally not taxed.

Local tax pressures are actually very high.

Therefore, it is no joke to say that Emperor Wu defeated the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.

Can you not fight?

Of course not!

After the continuous robbery of the Han border by the Wenjing and Jing dynasties, the Xiongnu have grown to the point where they cannot be ignored.

The grasslands can't support so many people.

Yi Zhi's ambition is also swelling year after year.

If you leave it alone, going south to the Central Plains is not a joke!

When the time comes, the family will be gone, and no matter what you lose, all the Han people will become slaves of the Huns!

Therefore, later generations said that Emperor Wu was reckless, but after he was able to defeat the Xiongnu, the call for fighting against the Xiongnu in the court was getting higher and higher.

There is only one who says not to fight too much, and there is no one who says not to fight!

If I didn't fight before, it was the siege of Baideng that made a psychological shadow.

Now that it has been proved that the Han army can win, what are you waiting for, hurry up and crush the Huns to death and relieve the Han henchmen!

It's no wonder that Liu Che was so excited that he could even ignore Tang Qi's rudeness after seeing the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and rice all over the sky.

"Ahem, don't worry, there will be no shortage of food in the future." Tang Qi smiled and comforted everyone, "When we promote the seeds after the beginning of spring, the people will be able to eat to their heart's content!" ”

"Yes, yes, what the Great Agricultural Order said!"

Another rich middle-aged fat man came up and asked with a hippie smile: "But Da Nong Ling, what sweet potatoes and potatoes you brought, the officials don't know it, do you think it's ......?" ”

Only then did Tang Qi come to his senses.

People from the official department of the relationship are gathered here, waiting for their own class!

I have to say that the officials of the Han Dynasty are really pragmatist.

Not at all high!

Why come to a reception banquet first, everyone knows each other, and then talk about business.

Inexistent!

The people and the army are waiting for food!

"Okay, then I'll tell you how to grow this sweet potato and potato." Tang Qi likes this pragmatic style very much.

I found a room at random and began to "lecture" to a group of officials.

The crowd listened with relish, and exclaimed from time to time.

"Listening to the meaning of the big farmer's order, doesn't it mean that in the current season, you can still grow that kind of crop called potatoes?" Borrowing Tian Ling Qian suddenly jumped up.

Tang Qi nodded: "It's August now, if you act quickly, you can still plant a season in the Central Plains, and you can harvest it before winter." ”

"What else can you do?" Chen Heng jumped up, "I also asked the big farmer order to give a charter, and the lower officials and others immediately sent people to the counties to supervise agricultural affairs!" ”

Tang Qi asked, "Don't you need to try planting a few plots of land first to see the effect?" ”

"Oh, why do you care so much." Chen Heng jumped to his feet in a hurry, "Anyway, you also said that the potatoes don't pick the land, find some fields or just open up the land and plant them, how much can you harvest!" ”
