Chapter 111: Yanzhou Grain Stockpile

"Bastard-" Song Jinyan was standing in the imperial study at the moment and was furious: "You are the head of the household, you have no way, who has a way?" ”

I originally thought it was just a few plants, but I didn't expect that just a few weeks later, things would take a turn for the worse, and news that the harvest might fail or even fail in most of the grain-producing farmlands in the capital. After the investigation of the marble, it was all for the same reason as in the palace: the fields were full of traces of agarwood roots, and this year was estimated to be a bumper harvest year, and the farmland that had just been sown was almost completely ruined overnight.

Although the treasury has grain in stock, because the previous two years were also bad harvest years, the treasury has not much grain in stock, and now he has to open a warehouse to release grain, Song Jinyan feels inexplicable pressure.

"Your Majesty-" Hubu Shangshu was already in a cold sweat at the moment, wetting most of his official clothes, and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, there is another way to use it for today's plan." ”

Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows and motioned for Tobe Shangshu to continue.

I only heard the head of the household Shangshu said: "That Yanzhou is the closest grain production area from most of my capital, the minister has sent people to investigate, the grain in Yanzhou has not been harmed by the agarwood, if you immediately send someone to help, in the shortest possible time to harvest all the grain in Yanzhou, on the one hand, the loss of Yanzhou can be minimized, on the other hand, it can also solve the urgent needs of most of our capital." ”

Song Jinyan frowned and glanced at his mouth.

Finding a way to borrow grain from the surrounding grain-producing areas is naturally the easiest and quickest way. What Hubu Shangshu said is not a bad idea, but now that the situation in Yanzhou is turbulent, if you want to do something quickly, although you are unwilling, you must still rely on the experience and ability of those arrested officials.

He took a lot of trouble to send Sui Yuanzhou and Bai Tingran to Yanzhou, and now Yanzhou has finally improved a little, if he releases those officials again, wouldn't it be a joke, and more importantly, this is a hint to those officials - the imperial order can be disobeyed. This is absolutely intolerable for Song Jinyan.

What's more, Sui Yuanzhou and Bai Tingran are now the key to finding out the person behind the scenes, if they let those officials go back at this moment, they are afraid that if they want to find out something, it will be much more difficult.

"Yanzhou-" Song Jinyan frowned deeply: "Think about this matter again." ”

Su Peiyuan knocked lightly on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the governor of the royal court asks to see you." ”

The Governor of the Royal Hospital is the Governor of the Imperial Hospital, so why do you come to the Imperial Study? Song Jinyan was puzzled; "Let him in."

The door creaked open.

"Wechen see the emperor, long live the emperor." The governor of the royal court prostrated and bowed.

"Get upβ€”" Song Jinyan said lightly: "The Governor of the Royal Court is here at this moment, what is the matter?" ”

The Governor of the Royal Court nodded, his face full of respect: "Your Majesty, I heard that several gardeners from Muhua said that the Muhua tree was infringed by the agarwood root, and in the past few days, there has been news that the agarwood root has spread everywhere, causing disaster to most of my grain cultivation places. ”

Song Jinyan nodded: "What the Governor of the Royal Court said is right, there is indeed such a thing, now most of the grain farming land in most of the capital, and all the rice fields that have just been sown have been destroyed." I was still discussing this matter with the head of the household. ”

"Hubu Shangshu, dare to ask, if all the crops in the rice fields are cut down now, and new grain seedlings are planted within ten days, will it affect the production of farming?" The Governor of the Royal Court asked at the Household Treasure.

Hubu Shangshu's eyes sank slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "This year's rainy season is still after January, if it can be replaced with new seedlings within ten days, with the irrigation technique, in the rainy season, the growth of grain seedlings is not much different, but ......" His voice wanted to speak and stopped, how did he not think about this method, but the land poisoned by agarwood roots, not to mention grain, I am afraid that even a single grass will not grow within this year. It was useless to spare himself a few more times.

Hearing Hubu Shangshu's affirmative answer, a trace of satisfaction appeared on the face of the royal governor, and he turned to Song Jinyan and said, "Does the emperor know why the agarwood root will intrude on the land?" ”

Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows and motioned for the governor of the royal court to continue.

I only listened to the royal court governor said: "The reason why the agarwood root can so wantonly infest crops is because the root of the agarwood root can release a poison, which does not cause much damage to people, but has a great influence on plants. Once exposed to this poison, if it is a deep-rooted technique such as the Muhua tree, it will gradually wither and decay. And for a crop like cereals, which is originally a three-season crop, it is a fatal blow. ”

"If you can find a way to detoxify, neutralize the toxicity caused by the agarwood root in the soil, and then replace it with new seedlings in time, does the emperor think this method is feasible?"

A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the head of the household: "If it can really completely neutralize the toxic components in the soil of the grain crop and replace the new crop seedlings in time, this method is feasible for Wei Chen." ”

Song Jinyan frowned: "Governor Wang, I remember that you are not quite familiar with pharmacology, are you sure about the antidote to agarwood root?" ”

The royal court governor smiled secretly and nodded: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not good at this. It's just that Weichen knows that there are two mothers in the harem who are from the Qingcheng Gate on the rivers and lakes, and the Qingcheng Gate is one of the best medical sects, and the famous doctor You Tian on the rivers and lakes is from the Qingcheng Gate. ”

A hint of realization flashed in Song Jinyan's eyes, and he waved his hand: "Okay, then let's do it." ”

When both of them went out of the imperial study, Song Jinyan groaned and said, "Yan Yi-".

"Yes." Yan Yi's voice was crisp and clear.

"Although the method said by the Governor of the Royal Court is feasible, but for the sake of safety, you ask Sui Yuanzhou not to bite so tightly and leave a way out for yourself." Song Jinyan said.

"Yes, master."

"In additionβ€”" There was a hint of hesitation in Song Jinyan's voice: "In the past few days, you have asked people to stare at Concubine Lan, and the queen has borrowed the mouth of the royal court governor to develop the antidote with Concubine Lan, so she must have discovered something." ”

Yan Yi was stunned: "Your Majesty - what is the method of developing an antidote?" ”

Song Jinyan smiled faintly, and there was a clear understanding in his eyes: "The Governor of the Royal Court is just a doctor, how could he come up with this method." Most of the time the queen thought of this method, and she didn't want to be too direct, so she told me through his mouth. ”

Yan nodded, and secretly sighed in his heart that the minds of the masters were really unpredictable, and he still acted honestly according to his instructions.
