The people of the Tang Dynasty are very concerned about the food problem, and the news of the emergence of rice with a yield of two stones per mu in Puzhou quickly spread. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoPeople who are farther away are skeptical, and those who are closer simply come over to take a look, so on this side of the field, there are more people who see fresh than those who harvest rice.

Li Shimin naturally got the news a long time ago, he was ready to come and see in person, if this thing is true, then in the near future, the people of Datang will no longer have to worry about their livelihood, and the internal stability will be peaceful, then he can rest assured that he can focus on the surroundings of Datang, no, it is three weeks, he is not much interested in the eastern sea. However, he was busy with state affairs, so he asked his henchman eunuch Fu'an to go to Puzhou to understand the situation first, and his secret agent in Puzhou could only learn about the superficial things, and the specific inside story had to ask Wang Haoran on the surface.

The rice was harvested one by one, and Xu Xuan'an also weighed the yield per mu, which was about the same as the yield estimated according to the number of grain grains, or even more, because the mixed rice was fuller.

The surroundings were often crowded with people to check on the rice, and Xu Xuan'an was used to it, so he didn't bother with it, as long as they didn't get in the way of the harvester's work. Seeing that the rice was about to be harvested, a group of people dispersed the crowd from outside the crowd of onlookers and walked in.

Xu Xuan'an looked over and saw that the leader was a eunuch, and he was hesitating whether to come forward to pay a visit, and he heard the eunuch ask everyone: "Everyone, dare to ask if this field is a rice field that can produce two stones of grain per mu according to the rumors?" ”

Xu Xuanan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "If you go back to your father-in-law, this is exactly the rice that yields two stones per mu." ”

"Then whose field is this?" Of course, Fu'an knew who it was, and if he asked like this, it was just a formality.

"It's from the little master of our family, his surname is Wang." Xu Xuanan knew that Wang Haoran had not shown his name out of caution here, and he did not dare to report Wang Haoran's full name. It's just that I don't know what the beginning of this eunuch is, and I'm a little nervous, worried that if I answer like this, the eunuch will blame myself for being disrespectful.

However, Xu Xuan'an was too worried, and Fu'an said lightly: "Then you go and call your little young master, our family came to check the rice at the behest of His Majesty." ”

There was some commotion around the people, although Puzhou was Fujing, but the emperor had never seen it, and now he felt honored to see the eunuchs beside the emperor.

"Yes, the villain will go now." Xu Xuanan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went back to Wangjialou to find Wang Haoran.

After Xu Xuan'an left, Fu'an asked his entourage to fetch two bunches of rice to see, one bunch was ordinary rice, and the other was miscellaneous rice, ready to take it back to the capital to Li Shimin to see.

It didn't take long for Wang Haoran to come over on a bicycle, accompanied by Yang Guard, he was also a bicycle, but he was not very skilled, even Fu'an shook his head, and Yang Guard's majestic image when riding a horse was completely ruined by the bicycle.

"It turned out that Father-in-law Fu was here, and the kid was disappointed, and he looked at Haihan!" Wang Haoran had met with Fu'an a few times in the palace before, and after getting off the bicycle, he bowed his hand.

"Haha...... Wang Gongzi is busy with affairs, how can our family make you trouble. I have long heard that Wang Gongzi is talented, and when I came to Puzhou today, I realized that Wang Gongzi is not only talented! It's an all-rounder! Even farming has such attainments. No, my majesty was alarmed, let us take a look at the situation first. ”

Come first? Isn't there a late-time coming? It seems that Li Shimin will come later, Wang Haoran doesn't ask in detail, there are many people here.

After Fu'an learned about the situation of rice, Wang Haoran invited Fu'an to Wangjialou to rest. Anyway, Wang Haoran's other building has been built, and there are many rooms, Wang Haoran casually asked Fu'an to stay, and Fu'an agreed without much hesitation, and joked: I heard that Wang Gongzi has a special team under him, and it is much safer for our family to live here than to live in a post station.

Fu'an asked people to return to Beijing the next day to report the situation to Li Shimin, but he wanted to stay here and wait for the emperor. He lived here for a few days, Wang Haoran made him regret it more and more, the current emperor's henchmen, he can't hang him there, but with him, he has a lot of things to do. Now I can only hope that Li Shimin will come over and take him to live somewhere else.

Zhao Yuankai learned that Fu'an had come to Puzhou, and he had known Fu'an for a long time, but he didn't have much friendship before. He hurriedly came over and warmly invited Fu'an to live at his house, saying that he would set up a banquet to receive Fu'an. But he was rejected by Fu'an, he has always looked down on Zhao Yuankai, one of the reasons is the same as other officials, they have quite a prejudice against the officials of the previous dynasty and their children, and the most important thing is that Zhao Yuankai is not an official.

Zhao Yuankai naturally knew this, but he didn't stop bothering Fu'an because of this, Fu'an didn't go to the county seat, so he sent people to buy good wine and food and send them to Wang's house. What made him even more nervous was that a few days later, he received instructions from the capital, saying that the emperor would go to Puzhou to inspect in the near future, and asked him to make security and other preparations in advance. He discussed with his master for a whole day before he planned a series of plans, and when he wanted his master to prepare, he wanted Wang Haoran to give advice, after all, Wang Haoran's mind was active, and everything that Wang Haoran participated in before had good results, and this time there could be no accidents.

Wang Haoran was invited to Zhao's mansion, and Zhao Yuankai told him straight to the point about receiving the emperor and showed him the plan.

After Wang Haoran saw it, there was a burst of waterfall sweat, killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, and Lao Suo greeted him...... Suddenly, Wang Haoran thought of a little story that he had read in later generations, which was about a degraded official who greeted Li Shimin luxuriously and was blamed by Li Shimin for a few words, so ashamed that he didn't eat for a few days, and then starved to death. He thought about the details of the story carefully, and remembered that the official was still the son of the former prime minister. Is Zhao Yuankai's father the prime minister of the former dynasty? Wang Haoran didn't know, but for the sake of safety, he decided to ask Zhao Yuankai. He didn't want Zhao Yuankai to die like this, although he was not a good official, but it was easy for such an official to lead the nose, and many things would not be so troublesome to solve, as long as the money was in place, not to mention that he was still Zhao Wenshan's father.

"After the kid heard that Zhao Tingshi was a minister of the imperial court, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Wang Haoran asked after pondering for a while.

"That's just the minister of the previous dynasty, although the official is the prime minister, but he can't use it when he gets the Tang Dynasty." Zhao Yuankai didn't know why Wang Haoran suddenly pulled it on his father, thinking that it was about welcoming the emperor, so he didn't hide it.

Wang Haoran could conclude at this time that this Zhao Yuankai was the official who was scared to death, and said: "Then after Zhao Tingshi is the prime minister of the former dynasty, I am afraid that he will not be treated well in the current court, right?" ”

"Alas! Otherwise, how could the old man be demoted to this. ”

"But does Zhao Tingshi think this is the only reason?"

Zhao Yuankai didn't reply, staring at Wang Haoran, waiting for him to continue.

"With all due respect, the reason for the demise of the previous dynasty must lie in the court, and your Majesty does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. In this way, the officials of the former dynasty and their children will touch this reverse scale of His Majesty if there is anything wrong. Does Zhao Tingshi think so? ”

"Indeed it is! Listening to Wang Gongzi's words today, the old man untied the knot in his heart for many years. Zhao Yuankai was a little enlightened, and said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of Wang Gongzi's jokes, in the past, the old man always thought that His Majesty wanted to gradually clear the officials of the previous dynasty from the court, although some officials of the former dynasty were reused, but after all, the old man was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and he would inevitably be eliminated, otherwise the old man would not be impeached once and demoted once." Now that I think about it, maybe it's really an old man who is too worried. ”

"Naturally, there will be no shortage of ministers in the court who reject the officials of the previous dynasty." Wang Haoran shook Zhao Yuankai's welcome plan and continued, "If Zhao Tingshi welcomes His Majesty with such a large lineup, it will definitely happen that he will be impeached again." ”

"Ahh Zhao Yuankai was shocked, he was really afraid of being impeached, if he was impeached again, it was possible to be demoted to a place outside the ninth rate, "What should I do?" If you don't focus on it, others will also impeach the old man for being disrespectful to His Majesty! ”

"You can rest assured that if the welcome is too grand, it will be a waste of money and labor, but it is simply sympathetic to the people. Today, Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and even if someone impeaches you for being disrespectful to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not blame you for this, and it is even possible to praise you. And the new city is thriving now, and the credit is still on you, Zhao Tingshi! ”
