A few people said their own, Hu Shangxuan and Jiang Jingxue were just eating watermelon, as if they couldn't understand.

After a while, the emperor called Hu Shangxuan, "This official has already checked, the crops in this place, that is, Mochiba Village, are so gratifying, and the other villages are not much better than before, what is the trick in this?" ”

Hu Shangxuan wiped his hands and replied respectfully, "Farming is just the word diligence, the seeds go to the ground, you are more diligent, and the rest is handed over to heaven and earth, the soil is turned frequently, and it will naturally become soft, and if you go to the ground to catch insects, there will be fewer insect pests, and you will take serving the crops as the top priority, and the crops will naturally grow well."

The emperor and Xia Sanye didn't believe this, if you want to talk about hard work, how many farmers in the world are not industrious? There are not a few lazy people in a village, most of them are still facing the loess with their backs to the sky, waiting for the crops in the field day after day, hoping for a good harvest.

Hu Shangxuan replied like this, did he not want to tell the good way to harvest the crops here?

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "If it's just the word industrious, why is it that only one of you is so capable, and the world is so big, this official doesn't believe that only the farmers in this Mochiba Village can be called industrious, and the official also told the truth, and now I just want you to talk about the trick in it, if it is feasible, it will be implemented all over the world, and since then the people have lived a good life, and your Hu family is naturally also on the credit book." ”

Hu Shangxuan got up and replied, "Students can only read a few books and recognize a few words, but they only have a reputation for themselves, and they don't dare to take credit." ”

The emperor smiled, "So, do you have to give you a higher reputation before you dare to receive merit?" In fact, speaking of which, your article is very well written, participating in the scientific examination should not just be a meritorious person, even with this article, send it to the capital to judge the papers, and you can also give a new reputation. ”

Hu Shangxuan said, "The student is not here, he just wants to live with his family and Meimei, he is not capable enough, he can't survive in the officialdom, he has watched his father can't lift his spirit for the injustice of the year, and he has long been disappointed in this road. ”

The emperor was silent when he heard this, Xia Sanye picked up the teacup on the side, glanced at Hu Shangxuan, and signaled him not to talk like this.

Although the emperor has not revealed his identity now, if Hu Shangxuan says too much, he will still deal with him, Xia Sanye has come here many times and has a friendship with them, so naturally he doesn't want them to cause trouble, so he is worried at this time.

The crown prince is even more so, where would he not know that his father was angry, and he was very worried, Brother Hu was blunt, but this sound really a little infuriating.

After a long time, the emperor laughed, "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a capable and talented person is trapped in such a small place, if you get fame and become an official, the people will be blessed." ”

Hu Shangxuan said, "This place is small, but it is very good, otherwise why would adults be reluctant to leave for so long?" ”

The Emperor asked him, "Do you mean that we have been living too long?" ”

Hu Shangxuan shook his head, "It's a guest from afar, not to mention that the adult is still on official business, and the case has been tried here, and the student has been innocent, no matter which aspect, I won't think that the adult has lived for too long, I just want to say that this small place naturally has the benefits of a good place, and there are not many enviable crops here?" ”

After some conversation, the emperor was even more interested in him, so he made it clear, "Then tell me, are you willing to take out these good seeds so that the people of the whole world can eat?" ”

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, although the student is not interested in gaining fame, but he has also read many books and knows the truth in the book, not to mention that this is also a merit, but these seeds are carefully cultivated by the student's wife, whether you want to give people a word to her, besides, I don't know if the current Long Live Lord is willing to exchange."

The emperor looked at the two of them with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that he was a person with noble aspirations, but he still fell into the cliché, and took out these things, still wanting benefits.

But this is understandable, they originally planned to reward it heavily, and besides, this is their own thing, so they naturally have the right to put forward conditions.

"Then tell me what you want to exchange." The emperor was very curious about what he would ask for, could it be ten thousand taels of gold? Or is it a thousand acres of fertile land?

Hu Shangxuan looked at Jiang Jingxue, saw her nodding slightly, and the husband and wife reconfirmed each other's thoughts, and then he said, "You are the minister of the Imperial Mission, and you are extremely noble, but can adults give you whatever the students want?" What if the Holy One is unwilling? If you say it at this time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You said it, and this official assures you that he will do his best to convince the emperor." ”

Hu Shangxuan said, "The student's family is not for fame or profit, just asking the court to change the law, my court has too many laws that are unreasonable, the most typical is to pay taxes if you don't get married, this marriage event is not a child's play, seeing that the age is approaching, marry at will, how do you know if the other party is a good match?" How many people have lost their lives because of the law. ”

"Moreover, under such a law, there have been many criminal acts, some people are poor, they cannot marry their daughters-in-law, and they are afraid of paying taxes, so they want to buy cheap daughters-in-law, and the girls of good families are abducted and sold, and the girls of poor families are forced to sell, how can this country prosper in the long run?"

"The student does not have the ability to see the saint today, but the student has a lot of things to say to the emperor, my lord, you are a reasonable person, and you are also the person who puts the people of the world in your heart, the student believes that what the student says will be given to the saint in 1510, if these words can have some effect, and finally the law is abolished, what the student does is worth it, what about the grain seeds? What about making the people of the world able to eat? ”

The emperor didn't expect him to say this before hearing this, but he was moved by it at this moment, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Our country is not populated, and if there is not enough population, how can the country prosper?" If the people are not allowed to marry when they reach old age, I am afraid that this population will become smaller and smaller. ”

Hu Shangxuan shook his head, "It's not like this, most of the people in the world believe in having more children and more blessings, how can they not be willing to have children and raise children when they have the conditions?" If it is bound by law, what is the difference between man and chickens and ducks to be slaughtered? Getting married should have been your own business, because the law hindered how many people are not allowed to stay with their lovers, and they marry only to avoid taxes. ”
