At this time, her younger brother was still trusted, which proved that the Zhao family was also trusted. The younger brother will be more meritorious in the future, and the higher the official position, which will be of great help to her children in the struggle for the throne.

Empress Zhao understood this truth and paid more attention to it.

Sour and hot shredded potatoes were served with rice, and sure enough, after eating sweet potatoes, Emperor Zhou Ping ate two bowls of rice.

Send a letter out early tomorrow morning, and ask my mother's family to send someone to follow my brother to Jiangnan.

Emperor Zhou Ping was very excited, even if he slept for two hours at night, he got up early the next morning to go to court, looking strange and radiant.

He was a direct and efficient man, and before the ministers came to the court, he had already carried the remaining five baskets of sweet potatoes and three baskets of potatoes to the court.

Before Emperor Zhou Ping arrived, the minister arrived at the court first, and was quite surprised when he saw a few baskets in the center of the court.

Some people know it in their hearts and must take care of Shao's teacher. He had received a letter from Gu Shao before, and yesterday Gu Shao personally visited him and talked to him about the situation in Jiangnan.

"Sun Xiang, do you know what these are?" There were well-informed people who learned that it was sent by Gu Shao, so they couldn't help but ask Sun Xiang, after all, Gu Shao was Sun Xiang's student.

Sun Xiang shook his head and gave a negative response, "Sun doesn't know, Your Majesty asked people to be lifted to the court, presumably when he went to the court today, he would say, please colleagues, don't be impatient." ”

Although many people didn't believe Sun Xiang's words, they didn't want to ask again, and they looked around the sweet potatoes and potatoes carefully.

Sun Xiang closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about the reaction of the whole court later.

I have to say that his student Gu Shao has made a great contribution this time.

He once helped Emperor Zhou Ping sit on the throne, but because the means of snatching the throne were too cruel, so that now the court has made irresponsible remarks about Emperor Zhou Ping's throne, so that Emperor Zhou Ping felt that his throne was unstable.

That is, Emperor Zhou Ping had ambitions in his heart, so he didn't have to worry about those old pedants, otherwise he would be able to cut off a lot of heads.

Now Gu Shao has found two high-yield crops, which are called the world's auspicious rui, which is worthy of its name.

With such a name, and then promote sweet potatoes and potatoes, so that the common people have something to eat, that is a good emperor.

Whether it is for Jiangshan Sheji or for the throne of Emperor Zhou Ping, it has a great effect.

After a while, the waiter shouted, Long live the lord arrived.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down one after another to welcome Emperor Zhou Ping.

Emperor Zhou Ping was in high spirits, full of energy, and shouted, "Flat!" ”

In the past, Emperor Zhou Ping went to the court, and his expression was serious, as if someone else owed him eight million taels of silver. If you don't agree with each other, you will be punished for this and for that.

Today, Emperor Zhou Ping sat on the dragon chair, high up, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were blazing.

Without waiting for the minister to ask, Emperor Zhou Ping spoke, "Do you know what is in these eight baskets above the court?" ”

"I don't know." Everyone replied in unison, even if they knew, they would not dismantle the stage at this time and let the emperor behave.

Emperor Zhou Ping immediately said excitedly: "This is the auspicious rui that Gu Aiqing brought back to me!" ”

As soon as Emperor Zhou Ping finished speaking, an old man with a gray beard jumped out, "Your Majesty is cautious, a few plants don't know what to say that it is auspicious, which damages the majesty of Your Majesty and threatens the Great Zhou Sheji." ”

Emperor Zhou Ping looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Lord Song, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, over sixty years old.

Emperor Zhou Ping knew that this old man would jump out, and if this old man didn't jump out, he would have to find a reason to send this Lord Song to the south, so that he could see my auspiciousness with his own eyes.

"Song Aiqing, as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, and today I don't care about your rudeness. Liang Bao, read Gu Aiqing's excerpt to the ministers. "Emperor Zhou Ping's heart is steady, as soon as he saw these old adults jumping out, he had a headache.

Hmph, this time, pack it together and send it to the south, so that they can see what the real auspicious rui is.

Liang Gonggong took out the excerpt of Gu Shao and read it out loud in the court, and everyone understood that this was a high-yield crop that Gu Tanhua found in Jiangnan.

These adults are reserved and can't do the act of digging sweet potatoes with their own hands.

At this time, a strong man with iron bones, General Qi, walked out, excited, he would rather believe that there is really such a high-yield crop, when he was young, his family was poor, and his family starved to death, and finally he was desperate to join the army, and fought his way out in the army. The current squire of the military department still can't forget the feeling of hunger.

Qi Meng stood up, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, can you let Weichen see if these are true?" ”

"I'm right." Emperor Zhou Ping knew that Qi Meng's bottom was detailed, decent, and rigorous, so he stood up at this time and wanted to see what was going on.

The guards had already cut the basket in half, and Qi Meng stepped forward and broke it open with his hands, revealing the rhizome covered with dirt.

Qi Meng brushed away the yellow-black soil outside with both hands, revealing the complete rhizome of the sweet potato. He looked closely, and it was all grown together, not fake.

Qi Meng was excited, holding sweet potatoes in both hands, and knelt on the ground, "Back to Your Majesty, this plant has more than ten catties, and one mu of land can plant about seven or eight hundred plants, and the yield per mu reaches five thousand catties, it should be true." ”

When the others heard this, they didn't care about the court's etiquette, so they came over one after another and pointed at the sweet potato.

Mr. Song just now came over, took a closer look, and then said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and I didn't see it locally, and the old minister still can't believe it." The old minister implored His Majesty to allow the old minister to go to Jiangnan to verify it himself. If it can really reach 5,000 catties per mu, it is Da Zhou Xiangrui. ”

Emperor Zhou Ping waited for a word from Boss Song, and immediately responded, "I'm ready." ”

The back baskets were also opened, and everyone was eager to lie on them and watch, believing that the yield of one plant was very high.

Originally, the old men who said that Emperor Zhou Ping's throne was not coming from the right way and that disasters had fallen from the sky all day still couldn't believe it, and at the same time they played and prepared to form a group to go to the south.

Emperor Zhou Ping wished that they should hurry up and get on the road, so he immediately ordered to send people to Jiangnan.

In addition, as Emperor Zhou Ping's most trusted chamberlain Liang Bao also followed this time, if the situation is true, read the holy decree in public and reward everyone. If it is false, it will all be cut off for the crime of deceit.

Liang Bao and Empress Zhao's younger brother Zhao Yun, together with several officials under the Great Agricultural Division, and those old adults who knew the opposites all day long.

Qin sent Gu Shao to become more familiar with the local area, continued to work him, and returned again.

Emperor Zhou Ping also ordered that in addition to leaving some seeds for the local area, all the rest would be transported away, and the price would be five cents a pound according to Gu Shao's previous offer.

This is true, and there is another reward.

Set off on the same day, day and night, and there must be no mistakes.

Fortunately, the weather was good, there was no rain all the way, the road was good, and the speed was faster, but because the old man was old, the speed was slower.

Qin Cha Gu Shao calculated in his heart that the sweet potatoes that were cut later could be harvested half a month later, so there should be time.

This time, he was grateful to Liu Niangzi in his heart, it was a different woman, and he was more and more curious about what other surprises Liu Niangzi could bring him?
