Chapter 123: See Xiao Hei Again
There was silence, and the entire hall became deathly silent after Zhao Kang's words fell, and even if a needle landed on the ground, it could be clearly heard.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Kang, Xiao Linglong's eyes were even more wide, and the boss's red lips opened slightly, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Zhao ...... Zhao Kang, you ...... What did you just say? ”
She doesn't even call her a national teacher anymore.
"What you just said is true?"
Zhao Kang had long known that they would react like this, so he nodded very calmly: "It's really Your Majesty." ”
The old lady didn't care about the grievances with Zhao Kang at this time, and stepped forward, and asked excitedly, "Is it food?" ”
Zhao Kang smiled: "Naturally, it's food, if it's a weed, why do you say it?" ”
"It can't be!"
As soon as his words fell, Lin Lang, the Qing of Honglu Temple, exclaimed: "What kind of grain can reach a yield of more than 600 catties per mu, and it can also be harvested twice a year!" You're a bully! ”
The people present are all officials who have never planted the land, but they have never eaten pork and have always seen pigs run, right?
In particular, the household departments in charge of taxation send special personnel to investigate how much grain each state government receives every year and how many catties per mu it produces, and the yield of 300 per mu can already be regarded as a bumper harvest.
Remember https://m in a second.
Most of them fluctuate around two hundred.
Now Zhao Kang actually said that there is grain that can yield at least 600 catties per mu, which can scare Lord Zhang, the head of the household department: "The national teacher can't talk nonsense!" ”
"Who said nonsense."
Zhao Kang smiled angrily and glanced at Lin Lang, this guy actually dared to jump out and go against himself, who was behind him?
Her Majesty the Empress walked directly down from the dragon chair and walked quickly to Zhao Kang: "Zhao Kang, are you sure what you said is true!" ”
Zhao Kang nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister is sure." This thing is called sweet potato, and it is planted in Yuanjiang County, where the minister used to serve as the county commander, and if His Majesty does not believe it, he can go to Yuanjiang County with you to inspect it. ”
"It just so happens that these days are also the time of sweet potato receipt, and Chen has planted a lot of sweet potato experimental fields in Yuanjiang County, and you can see if it is true or false."
Lin Lang, the secretary of Honglu Temple, immediately said: "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to go to Yuanjiang County with hundreds of officials in accordance with what the national teacher said, and see if the sweet potatoes in the mouth of the national teacher can really reach a yield of 600 catties per mu!" ”
"If not, the national teacher is guilty of defrauding the king!"
Zhao Kang scolded him in front of so many officials before, Lin Lang couldn't swallow this breath, he Honglu Temple belonged to the Ministry of Rites, and he was the most abiding by etiquette.
How can you say that you are also a figure with a head and a face, how can you be insulted like this!
Lin Lang looked at Zhao Kang and sneered, still yielding six hundred catties per mu? When I haven't seen food, have I?
This guy doesn't know the provocation of life and death, Zhao Kang can't get used to him, he wants to play, right!
Immediately, he also said: "Okay, then please go to Yuanjiang County with your lords to inspect the sweet potatoes, but Lord Lin, if the yield of the sweet potatoes planted by the national division reaches 600 catties, what do you say!" ”
Lin Lang sneered: "Is it true that the national teacher treats our civil and military officials as three-year-old children?" How can there be such a high yield of grain in the world! ”
"Don't give Lao Tzu a, Lao Tzu will ask if you reach a yield of 600 catties per mu! What do you say? Zhao Kang snorted coldly.
Lin Lang said: "If you can really reach 600 per mu, this official will resign!" ”
"Resigned? You're wondering! ”
Zhao Kang smiled: "It's just that it's enough to resign, do you dare to gamble with Lao Tzu." ”
Lin Lang raised his eyelids: "What are you going to do!" ”
Xiao Linglong just wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhao Kang looking at her and finally chose to be silent, Zhao Kang turned his head to look at Lin Lang again: "If Lao Tzu's sweet potato has a yield of 600 catties per mu, not only do you have to take off this official uniform, but all the assets in your family will be handed over to the national treasury!" Bet or not! ”
"This!" Lin Lang was taken aback.
How dare he bet on this, as a member of the imperial court, his status is only below the six ministries and three dukes, how can the accumulation over the years be simple?
If they were confiscated all of a sudden, Lin Lang would not have to cry to death.
But Zhao Kang has been angered by him, where will he let him go: "What is this, don't you like to let people donate?" Giving to the treasury is not donating! When the time comes, if Lao Tzu loses. ”
Zhao Kang snorted: "Lao Tzu also took off this national teacher uniform and donated all his assets to the treasury, do you dare to waste!" ”
"You!"
Zhao Kang was extremely embarrassed by Lin Lang, especially when there were many officials gloating around, as if he was saying.
Who are you messing with, messing with this hob meat, isn't that asking for hardship?
His face sank and he snorted, "Okay! Then Xia Guan made a bet with the National Teacher, and Xia Guan really didn't believe that there was any crop in the world with a production capacity of at least 600 catties per mu. ”
"Come, come, all of you have heard it, Your Majesty, you have to testify."
Zhao Kang didn't give Lin Lang a chance to regret it, and greeted him, and the civil and military officials who originally just wanted to have fun could only agree with a wry smile.
The bet between the two is formed.
If it was in the past, Xiao Linglong would definitely stop Zhao Kang, but at this moment, Her Majesty the Empress was full of the sweet potato he said, and she was also a little annoyed that Lin Lang didn't know the general situation.
It's okay to let Zhao Kangli stand up.
Her Majesty the Empress thought so, and immediately spoke: "Well, since the National Teacher has this divine object, I announced that in two days, the hundred officials will go to Yuanjiang County with me, and the National Teacher will go down and prepare first." ”
Zhao Kang nodded in agreement, looked at Lin Lang with a cold face, smiled, and walked out of the hall first.
He didn't need to prepare anything, just wrote a letter and asked him to send it to Yuanjiang County to inform Gao Quan, Zhang Long and others.
Two days passed in a flash.
The mighty carriage and horse brigade set off from the imperial capital, which aroused the curiosity of hundreds of people.
I haven't seen such a big battle in many years, so it should be Her Majesty's dragon sword, right?
Where is this going?
The empress traveled with hundreds of officials, and Zhao Kang, as the head of the hundred officials, was able to follow the dragon bowl, but he still chose to ride a horse, how could he be comfortable in the carriage to appreciate His Majesty's beautiful appearance?
Glancing at Zhao Kang, Xiao Linglong felt a little uneasy in her heart, and said in a low voice: "You shouldn't be bragging, right?" ”
In the past two days, Xiao Linglong's mood has been very excited, and once what Zhao Kang said is true, then the situation of insufficient grain production in Qianguo will be greatly improved in the future.
So she was a little afraid that Zhao Kang was bragging.
Zhao Kang smiled: "When did the minister disappoint His Majesty?" That's it, but it was not easy for the minister to find the one that was introduced to Yuanjiang County, so you can see. ”
"Good! Don't let me run away. ”
Hearing Zhao Kang say this, Xiao Linglong's heart settled down, and people sped up the speed of hurrying.
Finally, during the three-day trip, everyone came to the Yuanjiang boundary.
Like everyone who has been to Yuanjiang County, the eyes of the civil and military officials are straight.
Looking at the three big characters of Yuanjiang County on the huge blue brick city wall, his eyes looked at Zhao Kang in unison.
Is this a county?
