Chapter 697: White Pasta Saint
His Majesty was overjoyed when he got the news.
He took the fold presented by Lord Lu of the Household Department and read it carefully three times, and then laughed.
"Good, very good, that's great."
said three good words in one breath, which is enough to see how happy His Majesty is at this moment.
Yes, in the past, he had been worried about the food of the people, the grain reserves of the treasury, and so on.
But now, someone has invented a method to increase the yield of rice, and the experiment has been successful!
This is a great thing for the entire Great Qi.
From now on, the problem of feeding the people can be solved, and the treasury of the Great Qi State can become fuller.
Food is the foundation of a country, and after stabilizing this, the development of their country can become more and more prosperous.
And with this method of increasing rice production, their Daqi country will definitely become a major grain producer.
In this way, it will surely be envied and respected by other countries.
After all, there are still some nomads who are not rich in grain and salt at all, and if they want to eat grain, they also have to exchange or trade materials with the Great Qi State.
Even in the past wars, grain and grass should be accepted first.
In an instant, too many thoughts flashed through Qi Heng's mind.
Those ideas are closely related to the future development of the Great Qi Kingdom.
Lord Tobe Shangshu Lu stood quietly on the sidelines and waited for His Majesty to vent his excitement, and then spoke a few words of praise.
The words of praise he said took into account the people's livelihood of Daqi, including the bright future of Daqi.
Not only did he conform to the identity of his household secretary, but he also said it just right, and patted Qi Heng's ass while he was quiet, which made Qi Heng more and more happy to hear it.
Qi Heng smiled and praised Lord Lu, saying that he has a vision, is good at discovering talents, and is a pillar of the Great Qi Kingdom, and gave him some rewards, but he made the Hubu Shangshu very happy.
After praising the Hubu Shangshu, His Majesty did not forget Prince Mu.
Bai Yi was able to sit from a grass farmer to his current position, and Prince Mu's recommendation was indispensable.
Qi Heng knew that Bai Yi was because he married Prince Mu's daughter who had been missing for many years, so he was taken care of by Prince Mu.
But no matter what, that Bai Yi was really a very capable person, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the hero of the entire Great Qi Kingdom.
Therefore, Qi Heng ordered Prince Xuan Mu to bring Bai Yi into the palace to face the saint.
He wants to meet the hero of Bai Yi in person, and give him some rewards by the way.
Baifuli.
During the day, I had just returned home from the busy side of the test field, and was talking to my family about the situation on the test field, when I heard a small girl from outside.
said that Prince Mu came to look for him.
They immediately ordered the little servant to invite Prince Mu in, and Bai Yi and the others went out to greet him.
After coming in and saying hello briefly, Prince Mu explained the purpose of his visit.
"What? You say that the Son of Heaven summoned our family today? Old Man Bai exclaimed.
"You old man, what are you all fuss about? Our family's providence is now an official of the imperial court, isn't it normal to be summoned by His Majesty? ”
For Old Man Bai's unseen world, Mrs. Li showed a hint of scorn.
But in fact, Mrs. Li is also very happy.
Although she seemed to be disgusted that Old Man Bai had never seen the world, the smile on her face was not contained at all.
"Your Majesty wants to see ...... See me? Is it okay not to go? If not, what am I going to do when I see Your Majesty? What to say? ”
Compared with the happiness of other people in the family, Bai Yi, who is the person concerned, is particularly nervous.
Honest people like him will always bow their heads and work hard, but they don't know how to communicate with others.
Especially the person he has to face for a while is still His Majesty, he is afraid that what he said is wrong, annoys His Majesty, and then something bad happens.
"Providence, look at what you are cowardly, what is there to be afraid of, Your Majesty wants to see you, that is your blessing, no matter how many people ask for it, why are you still twisting and pinching?"
"Look at your daughter-in-law, they are calmer than you." Mrs. Li looked at her eldest son who was not in the family, and couldn't help but complain.
"Providence, don't be afraid! You are the pride of our Bai family, just go to see Your Majesty in good manners, and you will answer whatever Your Majesty asks. ”
In contrast, Old Man Bai comforted him with a kind attitude.
"Providence, it doesn't matter, I'll enter the palace with you, I'm here, what's the panic?" Prince Mu couldn't help but speak.
This son-in-law of his family is good at everything, but he hasn't seen much of the world and is a little timid.
"Dad, can Your Majesty's summons be in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, let the owner change your clothes first. At this time, Yan asked.
"Well, go get it." Prince Mu glanced at Bai Yi's appearance, and then nodded at Yan.
After hearing this, Yan saluted and said goodbye to the people present, and then returned to his yard with Bai Yiyi to freshen up.
In this process, Yan also opened his mouth to comfort Bai Yi with a few words.
After changing his clothes in the middle of the day, Yan also specially helped him fix the corners of his clothes.
Looking at the gentle Yan family in front of him, thinking about the whole family's concern for him, Bai Yi's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
yes, what does he have to be nervous about?
He had already completed his task and had not made a mistake, and His Majesty called him over, there must have been something to ask him.
When the time comes, he will answer seriously.
What's there to be nervous about?
After sitting in the carriage entering the palace, Prince Mu enlightened Bai Yi a few more words, and then suddenly asked.
"Providence, if Your Majesty wants to reward you this time and ask you what you want, how will you answer?"
"I don't want anything, even if Your Majesty wants to reward you according to merit, the credit shouldn't be mine." Daylight shook his head.
He was already very satisfied to be a petty official in this household, but he didn't want to go up.
He has always known that the way of being an official is very complicated, and his temperament is really not suitable for an official.
For him, he really likes farming, and he likes to study the things in the land.
If he could, he would be willing to stay in his current position and continue to work.
Besides, it was not he who came up with the idea of increasing the yield of rice, but what the little sister Bai Jinli told him after he came up with it.
He just picked up the cheap and tried it according to what the little sister said.
No matter how Xiaomei teaches that method to anyone, and gives those people to anyone, as long as the person she gives is willing to practice, he can do it to his current level.
If you want to talk about credit, it should be the credit of Xiaomei.
"It shouldn't be yours, so whose should it be?"
"It's my little sister, it's those people who work hard with me to farm, it's everyone's."
"Providence, you can think so, it's actually right, but in front of Your Majesty, you can't say that."
After listening to this, Prince Mu first sighed at his honesty, and then opened his mouth to help him analyze why he couldn't say that.
Immediately afterward, he summed up all kinds of questions that His Majesty might ask, and taught him by the way.
After Prince Mu finished speaking, Bai Yiyi was already dumbfounded.
Sure enough, there's a lot of work in it.
He's been taught a lot along the way.
"Thank you for teaching you." Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If Prince Mu didn't tell him about these things, he would have to ponder them for a long time with his head alone.
"You're welcome, it's all your own family, as it should be. Providence, it's here, let's get off. ”
"Well, Uncle Yue, please first."
After arriving in the imperial study, Bai Yiyi followed behind Prince Mu and saluted His Majesty sitting at the desk in a regular manner.
He is very honest and well-behaved, and even has awe and worship for His Majesty in his eyes.
Qi Heng smiled and let them be exempted from courtesy, and gave them a seat.
Bai Yi only dared to sit in the first quarter of the stool, and he sat upright, his back was straight, and his eyes were not swept casually.
"Bai Aiqing, I already know that you have planted rice to increase yield, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, I am very pleased, I don't know what Bai Aiqing wants?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the lower officials just abide by their duties and don't dare to take credit." Bai Yi stood up and bowed his head and replied.
"Duty-keeping? Well, if the officials of my Great Qi Kingdom think like you, then I will be much more relaxed. ”
"Your Majesty's praise." Daytime will open your mouth.
"Bai Aiqing, am I terrible?"
"No, Your Majesty, it's the fault of the lower officials. Xia Guan used to be just a cloth cloth, and he never thought that he would be able to see His Majesty Tianyan one day, he was really excited and nervous, and he hoped that His Majesty would atone for his sins. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Yi suddenly knelt down.
"Bai Aiqing, what is the crime, get up."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Why don't Bai Aiqing tell me what you did in the test field?" Qi Heng didn't see the nervousness of Bai Yi, and asked deliberately.
As a son of the day, his eyes are very vicious.
He could almost see what kind of person he meant during the day.
He has some affection for this person, so he is willing to give such a pillar some opportunities.
Asking this question is also Qi Heng's deliberate attempt to relieve Bai Yi's nervousness.
"Yes, Your Majesty. After Xia Guan went to the test field, he first ......"
After Bai Yi opened his mouth to talk about his career, the whole person was really different from Fang Cai.
There was respect for His Majesty in his tone, as well as a true feedback on objective facts.
On the way, he did not mention half of his credit, but said a lot of good things for the people who worked in the land.
During this period, he also inadvertently said that the appearance of buses, carriages, and donkey carts was too convenient, and the people secretly praised it.
He is such an honest person, and the words he says are all heartfelt, without a trace of exaggeration.
It is also because of this that His Majesty became more and more relieved after listening to him.
Bai Yi is not the kind of person who slaps horses, even he said that the bus carriage and the bus donkey cart are good, and he also talked about everyone's praise for it.
Including the importance he mentioned to the people to the experimental field, and the efforts to increase the yield of rice, his heart is particularly ironed.
These are obviously not praising him, but in Qi Heng's ears, they are all affirmations of his majesty.
It is also the people's beautiful expectation for the future of this great Qi country.
He could hear and see this vigorous vitality in the people, and he, who was His Majesty, was also very happy.
Reward, must be rewarded!
