Chapter 386: Resistance (1)
The next day, in the court, Li Cong really took out the big potato he dug himself, and ordered someone to give it to these civil and military officials, and after these officials saw it one by one, Li Cong ordered someone to carry a tray of ripe yams to the main hall, these ripe yams have been divided into small pieces, Li Cong wants everyone to taste the taste.
After the harvest was completed yesterday afternoon, Yan Yan also cooked a pot for them to taste, and the taste was strangely delicious, noodles, powder, and a little sweet, much better than the wild vegetables he understood, so he specially asked for some, saying that he wanted these officials to taste it, and there would be a rhetoric for promotion in the future.
However, Li Cong's purpose is not only here, he wants to make another note on Yan Yan in the historical records, paving the way for Lu You and Yan Yan to become officials or give them a seal in the future.
No, after seeing that the officials present had tasted the taste of this sweet potato, Li Cong asked, "Everyone, Aiqing, tell me how about this sweet potato as food during the famine?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it is much stronger than wild vegetables and grass roots, but our land and labor are limited, if a lot of manpower and land are used to grow yams, will we abandon the basics, after all, food is our foundation." Wang Shixiu, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, stood up first.
"Back to the emperor, even if it is not a famine period, this can also be used as a grain exchange trick, more importantly, the potato does not pick a place, any barren mountains and wasteland can be planted, it will not affect the yield of grain, and the yield of this sweet potato is very high, the yield per mu is thousands of catties, and the yield of one mu of yamsa is equivalent to the output of four or five acres of grain. Xu Liangxing, the prime minister of Menxia Province, gave a different opinion.
"Back to the emperor, although the planting of yams does not pick a place, but manpower is still needed, and the more barren the mountainous land, the more manpower is needed, this is one, second, Lu Yan's back garden is comparable to fertile land, not barren mountains and wasteland, and Lu Yan's family only planted a small area, so much labor at home, must be intensively cultivated, so her family's mu yield does not represent the mu yield of the general public. Therefore, the minister thought that he could try to promote some of them first. Wen Wenshan, the left minister of Shangshu Province, stood up.
"This Wen Zuoxiang rest assured, there are not many potato seeds at present, even if we want to vigorously promote it, we can't do it, but there is one point, the yield of yamsa is indeed high, the wheat and rice planted by Lu Yan's are also intensively cultivated, and it is not easy to yield 300 catties per mu, in contrast, the yield of this yamba is definitely much higher than that of wheat and rice." Liu Feng, the great farmer, stood up.
He is the person who deals with Yan Yan the most, and he is also the person who has the most right to speak, and he is also the person who knows the emperor's mind the most, therefore, after saying this paragraph, he continued to hold the wat and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that Lu Yan's boudoir woman can think of transplanting wild crops as food and put into action to find this crop and transplant it successfully, this credit can definitely go down in history, she added a food type to our Great Zhou, and it is still a high-yield food type, if the promotion of this yamba is done, I thought it would greatly ease our food pressure. ”
As soon as Liu Feng returned to the team, Shi Cunyu, the head of the household, stood up, "Back to the emperor, since Liu Sinong said that the yield of sweet potatoes is high and he doesn't pick the ground, why don't we let it be wild in the mountains all the time, why waste manpower to transplant it?" Another point is that the fact that the sweet potato can be eaten as food is not the credit of Lu Yan's family, but the credit of the local villagers. ”
Shi Cunyu didn't say the extra words, but the meaning he expressed was obvious, so as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Liao, the governing prince, stood up.
"Back to the emperor, the minister is a military general, although he doesn't know how to farm, but he also knows that all things grow for their own reason, if a deep boudoir woman who doesn't do anything is recorded in the history again and again because of farming, I am afraid that people in later generations will laugh and be generous, could it be that these people in our agricultural division are decorations?"
To be honest, last time because of the red rice incident, Yan Yan was recorded in the history Zhao Liao, so he didn't agree with it, but because Yan Yan was a member of the Lu family, this glory still fell under the name of the Lu family after all, so he didn't refute it ruthlessly.
But when he returned home afterwards, after his wife Lu Jingyi's analysis, he realized that he had fallen for the emperor.
It is true that Yan Yan is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, but Yan Yan is the wife of the mute, the emperor blindly raises Yan Yan's fame and reputation, he must be paving the way for the mute, didn't that dumb enter the academy?
I didn't see that Yan Yan's limelight has long overshadowed Lu Ming's wife Yan Yu, not to mention living in the county lord's mansion, and the emperor also went to the warm house in person, sending things at two ends in three days, and entering the palace at two ends in three days, she is also the cousin and niece of the queen mother's nephew and granddaughter, Yan Yu's treatment is not even worthy of lifting shoes for Yan Yan.
That's too biased, isn't it?
Therefore, Lu Jing thought about it a lot, what she was worried about was that maybe one day the emperor would find a reason to take away Lu Ming's title and hand it over to Lu You to inherit.
Especially now that the war is about to break out, no one can guarantee what will happen after Lu Ming goes to the battlefield.
Therefore, Zhao Liao must stop Yan Yan's momentum as soon as possible, the emperor wants to favor her in private, although they are partial, they can't control it, but the court definitely can't.
No, Zhao Liao said, and soon the Duke of Fuguo and the Duke of Huguo also stood up, and they did not agree to write down another sum to Yan Yan, on the grounds that the woman in the boudoir probably didn't even know the dishes, how could she really understand farming, it can be seen that it is nonsense, it is the credit of others that makes her use it to sell her reputation.
"Back to the emperor, the minister also has something to say, the niece of the minister is not an ordinary deep girl, she is definitely a person with great love, great kindness, great compassion, and great mercy, so she will ignore the rumors and wrongs of the outside world, and only want to share the worries of the emperor and solve problems for the people. Which boudoir woman will hold a farm book to read all day long, which boudoir woman will take the peasant woman to personally go over the mountains and mountains to find edible wild vegetables, which boudoir woman will personally go to the field to ask the peasant woman for advice on planting? Back to the emperor, these officials present are not clear, Liu Sinong must be the clearest, and the emperor must also be clear. Menno stepped forward.
Yan Peng couldn't help but regret a little when he saw Meng Nuo stand up, he also wanted to stand up and say a few words for Yan Yan, but he was worried that Yan Yan was his niece, and he was afraid that others would say that he was protecting his shortcomings, so he kept entangled.
Another point is that because of his selfishness, Yan Yan's name has been recorded in the historical records again and again, and his own daughter married into the Lu family without splashing at all, and he was afraid that it would affect Lu Ming's future and affect his daughter's happiness in the future, so he was silent.
