Thank you for the pink ticket cast outside the window without rain! I didn't come to work until two o'clock in the morning last night, and I couldn't get up in the morning, and the update was late

Emperor Xuan got the news that the Marquis of Zhenbei asked to see, and subconsciously looked up at the weather outside the palace, yes, the sun was shining, and there was no strange phenomenon.

That's even more strange, how could this old guy Zhenbei Hou take the initiative to enter the palace if he didn't have anything big to do on weekdays? Could it be that Nangong Xiao guessed what to tell this old guy? Emperor Jin Xuan has been even dreaming recently that his dream of immortality has been shattered, and when he thinks about it, he will feel distressed, his liver hurts and his stomach hurts, and then he feels a toothache for those guys who have broken good things, and his mood will be extremely bad when he hurts his teeth, so when he heard that Nangong Xiao's Laozi was coming, Emperor Jinxuan's face became as gray as the bottom of the pot.

As for the Marquis of Zhenbei, as if he didn't know at all, he didn't seem to understand the sympathetic and compassionate eyes of the inner supervisor who came to see him, and walked into the inner room with his head held high; "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jin Xuan was silent for a moment, a pair of eyes seemed to be staring at the fold in his hand casually, but in fact, all his attention was on the Zhenbei Marquis who was kneeling below, and after chasing for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and dropped the fold; "Is Zhenbei Hou here?"

The chief supervisor of the internal supervision on the side bowed; "Avoidance, Master Hou has been waiting here for a while."

Emperor Jin Xuan seemed to have just seen the people below, and pretended to be surprised and said; "Gee, when did you get here? Why don't you make a sound? As he spoke, he turned his face angrily and scolded the respectful inner prisoners beside him; You're all dead, huh? Why didn't Zhenbei Hou say anything when he came? ”

A group of internal eunuchs had to reluctantly kneel down and ask for guilt, grandma's job is not easy to do, it is obvious that the emperor and his old man deliberately want to hang the marquis of Zhenbei, and at this time they will talk about a group of minions. Who calls people the emperor, they are a group of minions, and the emperor can kill them all without blinking an eye.

The Marquis of Zhenbei also understood Emperor Xuan's thoughts, and still knelt straight on the ground; "Your Majesty is angry, it is Weichen who sees that the saint is busy, and he doesn't dare to disturb him, but it is nothing but a moment's effort."

"Zhenbei Hou, please get up quickly." The corners of Emperor Xuan's mouth hooked slightly, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his answer; "It's your good temperament, which makes these minions also bold, who should be indulged in and who should be tight, you have to have a score in your heart, you are the Marquis of Zhenbei, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, if you are confused in these things, this will be the consequence. ̈ ̈

"Wechen understands, please rest assured." The Marquis of Zhenbei thanked him, meticulously completed all the etiquette, and then got up; "Your Majesty, it is important for Wei Chen to ask to see Your Majesty." As he spoke, he glanced slightly at the inner eunuchs standing beside Emperor Xuan, and closed his mouth.

I would like to declare the emperor's will and wave his hand; "Go out all of you, and I will not call anyone, and no one shall come near."

A group of eunuchs retreated without saying a word, neatly and silently, Emperor Xuan has his own hidden secret guard protection around Emperor Xuan, these eunuchs are useless at all, and at the critical moment, they have to worry about whether there are spies planted by other forces inside that will do bad things, and after going out, they also brought the door by the way, and guarded the door outside and did not allow anyone to approach.

Zhenbei Hou saw that all the people who were in the way of the eyes had gone out, so he spoke; "Your Majesty, Weichen Dog took his wife to visit his seriously ill mother-in-law a few days ago, during which he found a crop in the Zhuangzi of the Mo family in Qinghe Town."

A crop? Emperor Jin Xuan, who thought that the Marquis of Zhenbei would talk about the war in northern Xinjiang, was stunned, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he felt like he punched it out and hit the cotton, very depressed, how could he guess wrong? Didn't this old boy want to go back to the army? "Crops? Could it be that there is something strange about this crop? ”

"Your Majesty, this crop is nothing else, it is corn from Fanbang." The Marquis of Zhenbei spoke eloquently, and it seemed that he did not see Emperor Jinxuan's brief stunned gaffe; "There are not many people who have passed on this corn, and the people can't afford to eat it, and the rich people buy it back for cooking."

"Is there anything unusual about that?" Emperor Xuan was speechless, the price of the things that came from Fanbang was not cheap, after all, there was such a long distance.

"You're here to see me for this?"

"The emperor misunderstood." Zhenbei Hou didn't seem to have any expression on his face, stiff; "The eldest son of the Mo family has recently become obsessed with studying farming, and got some corn seeds to go back to try planting, but it turned out that this thing is not contested for land, drought resistant, and the yield is also high, compared with wheat and rice, it is more suitable for ordinary people to use to feed their stomachs."

Although wheat and rice are fine grains, but the yield is really a problem, so many years still have not improved much, once the disaster year will be bad, the common people will definitely make trouble if they can't eat enough.

If there is no food, then the sky has fallen, and when the sky has fallen, do you expect others to be honest and obedient?

Emperor Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, he hadn't forgotten what he was about to face, Chu Liangchen's guy threw a mess, he didn't know when it would come out, and when the disaster showed signs and the people had nothing to eat, those honest little lambs would turn into hungry wolves, and they would not hesitate to snatch up everything they saw and tear it apart.

If there is something to satisfy the hunger of the people at this time and appease the biggest uneasy factor, everything else will not be a problem, as long as Chu Liangchen appears, everything will be solved.

Therefore, Emperor Jinxuan's original thoughts all flew at this moment, and his upper body leaned forward slightly, looking at Zhenbei Hou with concern; "Oh? Is it really that amazing? However, this corn has always been used for cooking, can it be used as a ration for hunger? ”

"Wechen doesn't dare to say anything." Zhenbei Hou replied with a glance, "This matter has been tested by the eldest son and the eldest son of the Mo family, this corn can not only be cooked, it can be boiled and eaten, and after being ground into flour, it can be made into pasta like steamed steamed buns, and it can also be made into soup and porridge. And this thing is not competing for land, it can be planted in the field, it can also be planted on the ridges of the field, and the yield is high. ”

Emperor Jinxuan's heart beat sharply, and he couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth, taking a deep breath; "Good! If this is true, then there is hope for the country. ”

The corners of Zhenbei Hou's eyes twitched slightly, he was still a little skeptical of what Nangong Xiao said, Emperor Xuan's words confirmed the authenticity of those words, and now the world is very peaceful, if Emperor Xuan hadn't known that there would be a disaster, how could he say such a thing, as the king of a country, he didn't care about governing the country and benefiting the people, but he thought about immortality, and even didn't hesitate to bet on the country.

Since this is the case, then he can carry out their plan without any scruples, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is protecting the Jiangshan Sheji, not a faint monarch.

"Yes, yes!" Emperor Xuan looked extremely happy; "That corn, how is the yield this year? If it is rolled out nationwide in the coming year, it will be possible? ”

The Marquis of Zhenbei groaned slightly, but vetoed Emperor Jinxuan's idea; "Your Majesty, although the yield of corn is high, after all, it is the first time to plant, and the minister is worried that the common people will not agree with this new thing, and will not plant it. Most of the fields are still used to grow wheat, rice or sorghum, and you can see if you can find a place to grow corn and show them the actual results when the time comes, facts speak louder than words. ”

Emperor Xuan thought about it, the birth of a new thing is not so easy to accept, but seeing that a disaster is about to happen, he is only now going to a special place to plant corn, and he is afraid that the distant water will not quench his thirst.

Therefore, Emperor Jinxuan was very embarrassed and a little undecided.

"Your Majesty, in addition, there are many hoarding and strange behaviors in the family of businessmen, just at the beginning of this year, when the Jiangnan flood, there were some black-hearted merchants hoarding grain to raise the price of grain, and the people were not happy, fortunately, the emperor Shengming ordered the local officials to open a warehouse and release grain to relieve the victims, I am afraid that a small flood will cause great consequences." The Marquis of Zhenbei saw that Emperor Jinxuan was undecided, so he hurriedly added a fire; "Which of those businessmen doesn't have a lot of food in their hands, but they don't want to be loyal to the country, and they are waiting to make the country rich, which is really a loss of virtue and morality!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei resentfully counted those black-hearted merchants here, and expressed great disdain for the merchants at the bottom of the Shinong industry and commerce with the appearance of a guardian, as if he had not seen Emperor Jinxuan's brighter and brighter eyes and rising emotions at all.

Yes, there are also merchants, although those people are lowly in status, but they have the most money, grain and rice in their hands, and if there is really not enough food to deal with the disaster, these merchants will come in handy.

"Your Majesty, you have not seen the despicable faces of those merchants." The Marquis of Zhenbei gushed out his dissatisfaction with Shangjia; "It's just that hoarding is not benevolent for the rich, and he actually jumps up and down to improve his status, and he still hopes to enter the scholar layer after getting the money, and spends a lot of money to buy a flashy name for his family, and he is proud, and his face is simple. ̈ ̈

Emperor Xuan almost looked up to the sky and laughed, as a high-level Zhenbei Marquis, he looked down on lowly merchants, this is normal, if he didn't avoid hating merchants, he wouldn't be able to unconsciously provide himself with such a perfect solution!

Merchants have money and food, but what they lack is a low reputation, so when the time comes, why not promise a few small official positions in name only, in exchange for a lot of food for the relief of the victims?

"Why should the Marquis of Zhenbei be angry with those merchants?" Emperor Jin Xuan, who was in a good mood, shook his head, as if he was watching an awkward child; "How noble your status is, why bother with some lowly people who are not on the same level? By the way, the Warats on the border of Northern Xinjiang are a little restless again, and I see that you are also idle, so it is better to go to Northern Xinjiang and beat these Warats who do not have a long memory for me. ”

"Obey the order!" As soon as the Marquis of Zhenbei mentioned the matter, he immediately replied seriously, but soon he was a little hesitant; "Your Majesty, Weichen Dog has a small request, I hope Your Majesty can tolerate it."

Well? Nangong Xiao? Emperor Jinxuan's nerves that had just relaxed suddenly tensed again, what did he want to do?

"That's right, the dog's mother-in-law has a strange disease, and it doesn't work after seeing many doctors." Zhenbei Hou's face was full of worry; "Later, I met a peculiar You Fang Langzhong, but he could cure this disease, but he needed a lot of rare medicinal materials, and the Mo family couldn't buy them with a lot of silver, so he could only spend people to find them in person, many of which were herbs produced in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and the eldest son of the Mo family had a pure filial piety heart and wanted to go there to find medicine for his mother in person." Zhenbei Hou said slowly and logically according to Nangong Xiao's crooked ideas. "However, the Mo family is not as good as it was then, and there are many fierce and fierce villains in Liaodong, where can he come back safely as a scholar? So the dog wanted to go to help find medicine and treat his mother-in-law in person. ”

Liaodong? Emperor Xuan relaxed in his heart, there are no rare things in that place, and there are no people, but many criminals have been exiled there, except for the production of some medicinal materials, there are really no other good things. Where did Nangong Xiao go, even if he wanted to contact the capital, it was not easy to travel thousands of miles and be treacherous. (To be continued.)
