The Imperial Vegetable Department is a position in the palace and is in charge of the fruits, grains and vegetables of the royal private garden.

It is regarded as the governing body of the royal private land.

The Imperial Vegetable Administration is not large, but it is not under the management of the six ministries, and is directly under the jurisdiction of Wang Feng.

There are talents who know how to grow vegetables, grow grains, and raise seedlings all over the world, and select high-quality grains, fruits and vegetables for the emperor.

"Liu Jin, the minister of the Imperial Vegetable Department, meet Your Majesty."

The people from the Imperial Vegetable Department are here, and they are the eight officials.

In the palace, Xiao Pingsi had already asked people to present the melons and fruits that were transported from Fangjiazhuang yesterday.

These things have been confirmed to be non-toxic, and they can be eaten interactively, otherwise Xiao Pingsi wouldn't have tasted such a delicacy last night.

"Liu Qing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Jin is not young, in his fifties, he has been working in the Imperial Vegetable Department for decades, and he is very researched in food.

This is also the reason why Xiao Pingsi asked him to come.

Liu Jin got up slowly, and saw a pot of "strange" things on the side.

"Liu Qing, you have also seen it, these fruits and vegetables, you are so good, take a look, is there anything special......

"Yes......"

In the hall, Xiao Pingsi didn't sit on the dragon chair for a long time, he paced slowly, and Xiao Chaoguo and Mo Yuan watched stubbornly.

Wang Feng's reaction is always nervous, although the two people in the palace are very trusted by His Majesty, he is always worried that someone will suddenly burst out to assassinate His Majesty...... That's why I've been tense all the time......

After a long time, Liu Jin put down the things in his hand.

"Your Majesty, where did you get these?" Liu Jin was a little puzzled, he just pinched a little corn and potatoes with his fingernails, and grinded out a lot of powder between his fingers.

As a royal grain official, Liu Jin has the ability, and how to identify new grains and fruits has his own set of methods.

One of the best ways to do this is to see how much powder it can produce.

If the powder is high, it is a good product, and it is also easier to be full in two pounds.

"It's a gift from the Emperor's Pavilion." Xiao Pingsi responded.

Emperor Zun Pavilion, it is not surprising that these things can be found.

Liu Jin suppressed his excitement and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, how is the output of these things?" How many catties is the yield per mu? ”

"Yield per acre?" Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't know what this sign meant.

Xiao Pingsi looked at Xiao Chaoguo: "What about you?" How much is the yield per mu? ”

Xiao Chaoguo looked at Mo Yuan, and Mo Yuan glared at him.

Your Majesty asks you, dare to drag me in, I beat you to believe it or not?

"Your Majesty, this minister hasn't asked either, don't dare to ask, it's too rude......" Xiao Chaoguo couldn't cry or laugh.

If people give me melons and fruits, if I ask them how much they produce, does that mean that they dislike people for giving less?

You can't be so rude, not to mention that this is the most polite Jinling City.

"Lord Liu asked how much the output is, does it matter?" Wang Feng coughed, signaling Liu Jin not to show off in front of His Majesty, so as not to displease Long Yan.

As the general manager, Wang Feng is superior to Liu Jin, so he can naturally accuse him of lessons.

Unexpectedly, today's Liu Jin didn't give Wang Feng much face, and said: "Of course this is important, very important!" ”

Liu Jin said excitedly: "Your Majesty! This round soybean is fine, but this stick can produce at least half a pound of flour per catty...... It's comparable to rice! ”

"What?!"

At this point, Xiao Pingsi no longer understands, he is not worthy of being this emperor.

However, the other three people in the hall have not yet reacted.

"Are you serious!?" Xiao Pingsi was so excited that he forgot the etiquette of the monarch and the minister for a while, and immediately grabbed Liu Jin's shoulder, "Do you know what the crime of bullying the monarch is!" ”

There are too many people who bully the monarch, and Xiao Pingsi doesn't want to deal with them, but if this kind of thing is to bully the monarch, he will be so angry that he wants to punish the nine clans!

Liu Jin Zhengse: "The minister has been in charge of the Imperial Vegetable Administration for more than 20 years, and he has already practiced a unique kung fu. ”

Liu Jin is not a big believer in these words.

The flour content of corn can be as high as 76 percent, even if this variety is not very good, but it can still reach more than 60 percent.

"If there is deception, the minister dares to lead the crime of deceiving the king!" Liu Jin stalked his neck, swore an oath, and was confident in his professionalism.

Xiao Pingsi was even more excited than Liu Jin, and Wang Feng on the side hurriedly came over to support him, so as not to lose His Majesty's honor.

Mo Yuan was stunned, and when he saw this, he was puzzled: "Lord Liu, you said that one pound of corn can produce half a pound of flour...... What does that mean? ”

Xiao Chaoguo was also stunned, but he was embarrassed to ask, because it seemed that this thing was common sense in the eyes of Liu Jin and His Majesty.

If he didn't know, it seemed a little inappropriate, so he didn't dare to ask.

"Commander Mo really doesn't eat the fireworks of the world!" Sure enough, as soon as Mo Yuan asked, he was sprayed by Liu Jin.

At this time, Liu Jin, even the emperor dared to stand hard, as an official in charge of grain, it was in vain to see such good grain.

"I ......" Mo Yuan smiled helplessly, thinking that I had offended you, such a big reaction.

Xiao Pingsi smiled and waved his hand, and said tolerantly: "Mo Qing is a martial artist, not a scholar who cultivates and reads, nor a farmer, so he naturally doesn't know what this means." ”

Mo Yuan nodded wildly, yes.

Liu Jin's tone was relaxed for a moment, and then he said to Mo Yuan again: "Commander Mo, what the lower official means is that this corn is comparable to rice, as a staple food!" ”

"Huh? Oh......" Mo Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

But when the people saw him like this, they knew that he didn't understand.

"Hiss......" Xiao Chaoguo understood, he looked deeply at the corn in the basket, and his eyes were shining.

He knew why Liu Jin was asking what was the yield of this corn.

A grain that can be compared to rice, if the yield can keep up with rice, then it will add a staple food to the Great Xia Kingdom!

This is not a simple addition, it has incomparable significance for the country and the people.

The people live on food!!

The seven kingdoms under the world, except for the Li country, regardless of whether the people live or die, the monarch of any country has a headache.

That is the contradiction between the people's rations and the state's grain tax.

It can be said that this is one of the main contradictions throughout the ages.

Now, there is an opportunity......

"Quick, go check, I want to know the yield immediately!"

At this moment, Xiao Pingsi's heart suddenly cleared, and he suddenly realized why the Emperor Zun Pavilion wanted to open a separate wizard list for Fang Jue.

If that's true...... How can you only open a list, you should build a temple for him and mold a golden body!

"Yes......"

Just as everyone should respond, they heard Xiao Pingsi say again:

"No, you are not allowed to go...... This matter must be kept secret, and no one can leak it...... Otherwise, the Nine Clans will be exterminated! No, the Ten Clans! ”

"Minister, obey!" The four people present were all shocked and did not dare to take chances.

……

Outside Jinling City.

The wind in Fangjiazhuang is particularly noisy.

In the morning, the news of the Fengtian Temple quickly spread in the city, and everyone was talking about when the Hanging Sword Division would fall.

"Miss Ye runs to me very diligently, aren't you afraid that the Ye family will be unhappy?" Fang Jue asked with a smile.

Ye Hongyi came again, and also brought Fang Jue the details of today's early dynasty.

"I have long been cut off from the Ye family, Mr. is right, they have nothing to do with me, and my friendship with Mr. has nothing to do with the Ye family." Ye Hongyi generously said that he just valued Fang Jue's reputation as a genius in the world.

She was curious where Fang Jueqi was.

And closer, she can keep an eye on Fang Jue, as long as Dian Yi goes to Ye Mansion to assassinate, she can react as soon as possible.

And as long as Fang Jue didn't send someone to assassinate her, she could really make friends with him and treat him as a friend.

She is confident, Fang Jue will not drive her away.

In the world, no man can say no to Ye Hongyi!

This point of self-confidence Ye Hongyi still has ...... That's right, she's just going to die begging for nothing, and she often runs here.

So that people know that Fang Jiazhuang has a good relationship with her, and when Fang Jue deals with the Ye family, he should be careful about his friendship with himself, right?

There will be no death hand......

This is also a helpless way, after Ye Ling'er couldn't get married, Ye Hongyi really thought about taking advantage of herself to save the Ye family.

"Hehe......"

Fang Jue smiled, he could naturally understand what Ye Hongyi wanted to do.

He said: "I heard that the dowry prepared by the Ye family for Ling Mei is very rich. ”

"This ......" Ye Hongyi naturally knew about it, and blushed helplessly.

The Ye family still wants to repay the debt!

They wanted to give part of the family property to Ye Ling'er as a dowry, so as to invest in King Qin...... In this way, there will be less property left, and the consultation fee paid to Fang Jue will be greatly reduced.

The point is, this is beyond reproach, Fang Jue is still embarrassed to snatch other girls' dowries?

Do you want that reputation?

"As the saying goes, don't hang yourself from a tree......"

Fang Jue lightly mentioned: "The wind is blowing...... Miss Ye, after this storm, some rotten dead wood will blow down a clean one. ”

If the tree falls, will the person tied to the tree be stoned to death?

"Sir is saying...... How is this possible? Ye Hongyi was shocked, she heard Fang Jue's warning, but she couldn't believe that Fang Jue could do such a thing.

And she kept staring at Fang Jiazhuang, and she didn't notice what Fang Jue had done.

Fang Jue smiled slightly, noncommittal, his counterattack had already been carried out, but he was not in the capital. The Ye family? Let's make you happy for a few more days, and wait for the news from Qinzhou to come, hehe......
