Chapter 12: The Peasant Girl Is Crossed (12)
Jiang Mi: "If you don't believe it, you can try again." β
Most civil officials attach importance to the language of the ancients, and it is difficult to change the thinking of the military generals, but it is easier to change the thinking of military generals.
At that moment, several military attachΓ©s stood up.
"You can give it a try."
"Ministers are also acceptable."
"Minister......
Jiang Mi hooked her lips and smiled, it seems that there are still people who echo her, and you don't have to arrest them one by one.
A few people didn't need Jiang Mi to do it, and one by one they pricked their fingers with silver needles and squeezed the blood into the small bowl.
Sure enough, some people who are not related by blood have blood blending, and some are obviously close father and son, but the blood has never been compatible.
Jiang Mi: "Elder Yunge, Lord Cao, what do you think?" β
Master Cao: "This ...... I didn't expect it to be like this. β
Yun Songhai: "Hmph, what if you prove that the blood recognition is not accurate? Today we are talking about hybrid rice. β
Yun Songhai is in a high position and power, and he has been used to living a life of being flattered by others over the years, and suddenly someone dares to contradict him like this, how can he not swallow this breath in his heart.
If Jiang Mi was a person with a backstage, he wouldn't make the scene so ugly.
She didn't, though.
Jiang Mi: "Yun Ge is really anxious, aren't I talking about hybrid rice, you don't believe that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and the world is not as narrow as your horizons......
Yun Songhai interrupted her impatiently: "These useless words are still ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order, if the hybrid rice is not successful, then the minister's head will be at the disposal of the old Yunge."
Jiang Mi didn't want to hear what he said, so he immediately made a military order, so that Yun Songhai had nothing to say.
The corners of Yun Songhai's mouth drooped: "If Miss Tao dares to bully the king, the emperor will deal with it, what does it have to do with me!" β
Jiang Mi looked at him squarely and sneered: "It has nothing to do with you, then you have so much to do." β
"You! β¦β¦β
Ji Xun: "Okay, since you dare to make a guarantee, then I will promise you, as for the punishment, I have my own conclusion." β
The emperor has spoken, what else can Yun Songhai say, he can only hold back hatefully and prepare to speak.
"The thousand acres in the western suburbs will be given to you to plant hybrid rice in two days, and the five military camps will allocate 100 elite soldiers for you to send, and Jiang Ling will assist from the side."
As the words fell, a handsome young man in an official robe walked out and bowed: "The minister's order." β
In this era, although you need to kneel when you see the emperor, you don't have to kneel when you say a word.
Ji Xun half-squinted, looking sleepy: "As for the people, you can recruit villagers from several nearby villages." β
Generally speaking, the imperial court does not give money or food to recruit people to work, which is equivalent to day work.
If you don't want to do it, you can't do it, it's mandatory.
Jiang Mi bit his lip, but still spoke: "The emperor loves the people like a son, and the research on hybrid rice is for the sake of the people, but the people may not understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, they can't wait too long for a reward, why don't you give them some comfort first, so that they can grow hybrid rice with peace of mind." β
Ji Xun is not a tyrant, and Jiang Mi's words are not accusing him, he thought about it carefully and understood what she meant.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Mi: "The minister thinks that the villagers who grow rice can be given 30 yuan a day. β
It's not high, but it's not too low, at least I don't lose money when I come to work.
Ji Xun agreed with a wave of his hand, if this was a big project and required a lot of manpower and material investment, he would not agree, because it would cost too much money.
But now it is just two or three villagers to work, and even if each person is given thirty wen, it will not cost too much.
Jiang Mi pretended to be overjoyed: "If those people knew that the emperor loved them so much, they would definitely be grateful." β
Ji Xun smiled: "They are my people, and it is natural to love them." β
At this time, Jiang Mi didn't need to take the lead, and the hall had already knelt down and shouted: "Holy benevolence!" β
Ji Xun was happy, and made a promise: "Tao Xi, if you do this well, I will wait for you to be the county lord." β
The position of county lord sounds very high, and Jiang Mi was just a peasant girl without any status some time ago, how could she take on it.
However, if the hybrid rice is successful, it will save the people from fire and water, and it will be beneficial to the present and the future.
Such a reward is not excessive.
However, some people just can't get used to it.
Yun Songhai: "Your Majesty, you can't help it, how can Tao Xi He De be the county lord!" β
The waiter of the criminal department: "Your Majesty, you can't ...... it"
Dali Siqing: "The minister seconded the proposal!" β
β¦β¦
Yun Songhai took the lead again, and even Ji Xun had a sentence in his heart, why do you have something to do anywhere?
Ji Xun: "If the hybrid rice planting is successful, how can you not bear it?" β
Yun Songhai: "This ...... This breaks the rules. β
Jiang Mi said with a smile: "First of all, thank Yun Pavilion Elder for his trust, so sure that I can successfully plant." β
Yun Songhai waved his long sleeves: "When does this official trust you......"
Talking and stopped, he objected so much to Jiang Mi being named the county lord after the matter was completed, didn't he think she could succeed.
Ji Xun seemed to be a little tired, and rubbed his eyes: "Okay, I won't take back what I said, so be it." β
After the end of the court meeting, Yun Songhai and his party faced the river, their eyes were not eyes, and their noses were not noses.
But in the end, he wouldn't do anything in the palace, Jiang Mi directly ignored them and strode away.
"Shennong girl, wait a minute!" One of them stopped her from behind.
Jiang Mi turned around, it was Jiang Ling in the Hubu Langzhong.
"The emperor asked the subordinate to assist Shennongnu, but there are still many doubts in his heart, and he is not very clear about how to implement it, when will Shennongnu discuss it with him?"
Jiang Ling's official position is higher than Jiang Mi's, but his words are very modest and respectful.
Jiang Mi also took a long breath, afraid that if he met someone who was powerful, he would have to fight with him at that time.
Jiang Mi: "If you are free now, why don't you go to the teahouse together?" β
Although this era is male superiority and female inferiority, the suppression of women is not so great, Jiang Mi is alone with a man, some people may gossip, but absolutely no one can stand on the moral high ground to accuse her.
On the other side,
When Yun Songhai returned to the mansion, he called Yun Bai.
"Bai'er, what kind of person is Tao Xi?"
Yun Bai was puzzled, and then said angrily: "Grandpa asked about that woman, it's just a bewitching demon girl, Cheng Si is confused by her, so he will let Su Qing down, otherwise my sister wouldn't have ...... so early."
Yun Songhai snorted: "I don't see it really. β
He hadn't paid much attention to Tao Xi before, and his understanding of her was only dictated by Yun Bai, in Yun Bai's mouth, she was a woman who was full of copper smell and liked to confuse men.
But today, it seems, this is not the case.
This woman has a flexible mind and is not afraid of danger, unlike a poor peasant background.
Yun Bai: "Speaking of which, I seem to have seen her yesterday, and I sent someone to investigate, but I couldn't find anyone." β
Yun Songhai: "You can't find it, she went to the court today......"
