Jinrong came to Lang Garden, and there were customers in the garden who rented the yard, but it was not a banquet, it was a family who came to this watery place to cool off.

Although there are customers in Langyuan, there is also a place to do things at home. Jin Rong came here, of course, there was nothing to do, just to block the emperor, so that the emperor could speak first and put the things discussed that day into practice.

In order to be eye-catching, he had to spend the whole day in this little courtyard.

Fortunately, there is no uncomfortable place in Langyuan, the house is bright and airy, and the carvings are exquisite. In the yard, the big trees transplanted in early spring are lush and breezy. Even taking a nap on a bamboo chair under a tree is comfortable.

It was close to evening when Jin Rong rode back to the city.

On the second day, it was another trip.

On the third day, the emperor listened to the courtiers with a full depression. Jinrong, who has always known proportions, is also so out of tune, and the emperor is so depressed that he can't do it. Isn't there any of his sons who have come to fruition?

After the ordinary start is completed, it is the drought that has caused headaches for the imperial court recently. The officials in charge of various matters talked about the recent arrangements and feedback.

All in all, there is still no rain in various parts of Wonju, and the relief food of the imperial court is still tight. Due to the extremely high food prices in the disaster year, the amount of grain that can be purchased is less than half of last year's amount, despite the disaster relief funds.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the court was becoming more and more solemn, Jinrong thought about it for a while, and said: "Father Qi, my son, I heard that there is a kind of buckwheat in the northwest region of the Central Plains, and the growth period is very short, about sixty days, and the buckwheat can be ripe.

Erchen suggested that the agricultural officer collect some of these buckwheat seeds for distribution throughout Wonju. If there is still a rain in Yuanju and other places in early August, it will be better to plant these seeds. It is best to harvest ripe buckwheat, and even if it is not very ripe, it can withstand the stomach with the bran, and the pressure of the imperial court is less. ”

What he said, Jiang Yifan said to him. The yield of buckwheat is not high, and it is not anti-hunger. In general, the people did not want to spend their precious land and festivals to grow such things.

Occasionally, buckwheat is grown early in the harvest or in a small area of unused land. Beat some buckwheat, or eat it fresh at home, or sell it for some cash.

The emperor was very surprised when he heard this, and turned his head to ask Yu Shiqing: "Is there still a crop with such a short growth period?" I've never heard of it before. ”

Many courtiers were also surprised, most of the court officials had studied since childhood, even if a few had worked in agriculture, and there were officials who had been in charge of specific affairs in the local area for many years, but most of them had seen crops such as grain, rice, and wheat.

However, they do not understand the small types of crops, especially those that are not mainstream and are not included in the imperial court taxes, and it is generally difficult to enter the eyes of officials.

If there is really such a suitable food, His Royal Highness King Yu's proposal will be of great practical significance in the current situation. Normally, by the end of July, it is no longer possible to plant. But this kind of buckwheat should be able to do it in such a short growth period.

Unexpectedly, King Yu, as a prince, could still know this kind of thing under the pampering of him. I just don't know if it's true or not.

Yu Shiqing was also stunned: "Wechen knows that the growth period of buckwheat is short, but it matures in sixty days, and Wechen really hasn't heard of it." His Royal Highness King Yu knows where this buckwheat grows? ”

The crown prince didn't like King Yu to be so concerned.

He was very uncomfortable these days, and the officials sent by the cabinet to inspect the taxes of the past years could not come close to the real data of the account books of the household department. However, these people were stranded in the household department, not only were they uncomfortable, but the officials were also constrained.

He was already in a bad mood, but when he saw Jinrong's proposal, it attracted the attention of everyone in the palace, and he was even more unhappy in his heart: "The matter of money and food has always been a major event in the imperial court, and the sixth brother can think about it later." There is no real evidence, empty talk, and grandstanding here. If it is exposed in the end, it will make people laugh in vain and lose the royal face in vain. ”

Jinrong has always been respectful to the prince, and hurriedly explained: "Second brother, there is indeed something wrong. This crop has low plants and is hardy, but the yield is not high, so it is not widely spread. As long as you go to the mountain village in the northwest of the Central Plains to ask, you generally know. ”

The prince snorted heavily, ignoring Jinrong's explanation, but the expression on his face was still not good-looking.

The emperor glanced at the crown prince coldly, as the crown prince, not only is he not worried about the world, but he also does not pretend to be a person who really does things, which is simply of great use.

The emperor instructed Han Yanhui: "The cabinet department has drafted an edict to let the military department send some fast cavalry, and take the agricultural officer to the northwest region to inquire about the buckwheat that can be ripened in sixty days." If there is a grain seed, it can be purchased in large quantities and a book can be made immediately. Organize local garrisons, and fast horses are transported to various parts of Wonju to prepare for distribution. ”

The emperor's anger stimulated by Jinrong's departure from the city for two days in a row dissipated a little because of the buckwheat grain seeding. But he still called his name, and asked in a strange tone: "King Yu, I don't know if Langyuan's business is good now?" ”

Jinrong had been waiting for the emperor to mention this for a long time.

He had already returned to the queue, and when he heard the emperor's inquiry, he hurriedly came out again, and calmly replied: "Back to my father, Langyuan's business is good." After these two days, he consulted with the steward there, trying to expand the scope of his business and make more money. ”

The emperor's face, which had just recovered, immediately turned black again.

Ministers were also surprised. What does King Yu mean by this, as soon as he had a proposal to make His Majesty happier, he immediately began to smear himself, and his brain was pumped or what?

The emperor stared at Jinrong, this bastard boy, the displeased tone of his question was already so obvious, could it be that this kid couldn't hear it?

Of course, Jinrong would not wait for the emperor to say the words that reprimanded him, and then said: "Father, the son has thought about it for the past few days, the drought in the Yuanzhou area is the time when silver taels are needed, so it is a good thing that the capital is prosperous." Erchen also put some thought into this in order to do a good job in business and add some brightness to the capital. ”

The emperor and all the courtiers all had complicated faces, King Yu earned money for his own family, and he could still play such a righteous banner. King Yu, can you be more shameless?

The emperor was almost laughed at by him, "It turns out that King Yu is so righteous. ”

"The son is ashamed, and the emperor praises his father." Jinrong replied undeniably.

Burst! If the big guy wasn't afraid that the emperor would sin the palace for losing his honor, he would have laughed.

The emperor stared at Jinrong even more with an unkind face.

Jinrong was still calm and said: "Erchen has thought about it, and Erchen is willing to use all the silver he has earned since the opening of Langyuan to help the disaster in Yuanzhou." ”

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom.

The emperor was also stunned, like this, what kind of anger did he have just now? What is the reason for his unhappiness in the past two days?

He was still thinking about it, this bastard kid is so impotent, and at this time, he is still focusing on business matters. But I didn't expect him to be so righteous.

Thinking about the 300,000 taels of disaster relief money borrowed from Yuwangfu, the emperor felt a little sorry for his anger at Jinrong just now.

The emperor's awe-inspiring gaze swept over the faces of all the officials in the court. It is said that the food of the king is the matter of loyalty. But these ministers, holding the court's money, enjoying the people's offerings, and all of them have a vegetarian meal, turning a blind eye to the difficulties of the court and the people.

Compared to his son, it is far from the same.

The Emperor's gaze fell on the crown prince's face and paused. Forget about this son, don't mention it.

"King Yu can worry about the world, share my worries, I am very comforted...... "I want to talk about "Women's Noble" with more like-minded people; , talk about life, find a confidant~
