Chapter 5

Qingfeng stumbled under his feet and fell directly into the field.

This Li Gongzi is really on the verge of death and is getting farther and farther away.

He dared to curse His Majesty to his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Fan turned his head and looked at Qingfeng suspiciously.

Liu Quan smiled faintly and explained to Qingfeng: "This maid has walked too far, and her legs are sore. ”

Li Fan suddenly realized: "I didn't expect this, you wait, I'll move two stools for you." ”

With that, he walked towards Tiangou, brought two wooden benches, and let the two of them sit on the wooden benches.

Liu Quan glanced at Li Fan and said lightly: "Childe, Your Majesty may not be really mediocre and incompetent today, maybe he is just dormant in the deep palace, waiting for the day when he will make a splash." You have this talent, if you enter the court as an official and assist Your Majesty, wouldn't it be easier to cultivate hybrid rice with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, and in the future, Your Majesty will definitely make you a marquis! ”

Li Fan looked at the rice field in the distance, didn't say anything, but said softly: "Plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn." There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death. Miss Liu, do you know why? ”

Liu Quan tasted this poem carefully, and couldn't help but reflect a terrifying light in his eyes, there was no idle land in the four seas, and the farmer was still starving to death?

Why is it that there is no idle land in the world, and farmers are still starving to death?

Because of taxes!

Could it be that today's taxes have left the peasants without enough to eat?

Li Fan said: "Today's empress may really be dormant and waiting, but today's imperial court ...... Don't mention it. ”

"Isn't it too early, Miss Liu, let's go back together?"

"Hmm."

Li Fan sent the two to the door of his house, "I don't know which street Miss Liu's family lives in?" I'll send you back? ”

Liu Quan shook his head and refused: "Son, stay here, my family is still far away, go to the front and take the carriage back!" ”

"It's a pleasure to talk with Childe today, and I will remember every word of Childe." Liu Quan said with a smile, with a playfulness in his eyes.

Qingfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, is Your Majesty talking back?

"Okay, Miss Liu, go slowly." Li Fan stood at the door, watching a master and a servant leave, with a smile on his face: "After talking to Miss Liu for so long today, she accepted my painting again, this family affair should be done, right?" ”

At the thought of marrying such a beautiful beauty, Li Fan couldn't help but be moved.

After three years, he hasn't even held the girl's hand!

It's still a boy chicken!

As soon as I got home, Po He came to the door.

"Master Li, I'm sorry, Miss Liu......"

"Granny He, haha, thank you today, I had a very happy chat with Miss Liu."

Li Fan hurriedly welcomed He Po into the house.

"Forehead ......"

He Po looked suspicious, but Miss Liu rejected herself, saying that she didn't want to marry Zhongjiuliu.

Could it be that Miss Liu came over secretly again?

"Li Gongzi, did you really see Miss Liu?"

"Yes, Miss Liu is very beautiful, and the maidservants around her are also extraordinary." Li Fan recalled what the two of them were wearing, and said, "Miss Liu's family should be very rich, right?" ”

That should be right, the daughter of the Liu family is indeed good-looking, as for being rich, it can be regarded as a little!

It can't be so coincidental to meet a woman with the same surname, right?

He Po nodded: "Since Gongzi has seen it, then it's right!" ”

……

At the same time, when Liu Quan returned to the palace, he summoned the officials of Dali Temple and asked him to use a few death row prisoners to test the relationship between mosquitoes and malaria.

Dali Siqing went down with a confused face.

Liu Quan looked at the sky outside the window, and emotions surged in her beautiful eyes, "If it is really as Li Fan said, malaria is really related to mosquitoes, and my people of Dazhou may no longer suffer from malaria in the future......"

"As for the hybrid rice ......"

"Come on, please come over to the Ministry of Works!"

Soon, Ji Linglang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, came to the empress's study, and after saluting, he raised his head and looked at Her Majesty the empress suspiciously, what is the empress looking for herself?

Liu Quan threw a sprig of rice in front of Ji Linglang and said lightly: "Ji Aiqing, look at what this is." ”

Ji Linglang picked up the ears of rice with doubts, and soon, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

"This ...... This is rice?! But why are the grains of this rice so full? ”

Ji Linglang's hand holding the rice ear trembled, and said, "Your Majesty, where did you get this rice?" This must be an excellent variety of rice, if it can be added to the cultivation ......"

Ji Linglang was so excited that she couldn't say the following words, even if it was her, she had never seen rice with such full grains in her life.

Liu Quan said: "This thing is from the outer city of Zijing City, Ji Aiqing knows what is the yield per mu of rice?" ”

Although Ji Linglang is a female official, she can be a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, but it depends not only on her beauty, she looked at the ears of rice, and soon said: "With the fullness of this ear of rice, there is at least a yield of 500 catties per mu, but ...... But this ear of rice should be the fullest branch of a rice tree, right? ”

She would calm down, thinking that it was impossible for each ear of rice to be so full, maybe just one branch.

Who knew that Liu Quan had a smile on his face and said: "Linglang, this rice yields seven hundred and fifty catties per mu, and this rice ear is the case for every tree!" ”

"What?!"

Ji Linglang's surprise was no less than that of Liu Quan, who saw it with her own eyes, and shook her head and said, "How is this possible?" Isn't Your Majesty deceiving the minister? ”

Liu Quan said solemnly: "The king's words are like Jiuding, how can there be deception!" This rice is planted in the outer city of Zijing City, and the output of four acres of rice fields is more than 3,000 catties! I saw it with my own eyes! ”

Ji Linglang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, his upper body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but hold the ears of rice and said, "God-given blessed field, the yield is so high!" Your Majesty, the heavens are flourishing in Zhou! ”

Liu Quan shook his head: "You are wrong." This rice is not a gift from God, but a man. ”

"What? Cultivated by man? Ji Linglang was shocked again, and subconsciously felt that it was impossible, but she knew that it was impossible for the empress to deceive herself.

Liu Quan released another bombshell message: "Yes, and this person said that there is a way to increase the yield to 1,000 catties per mu!" ”

The Ministry of Industry shook his head and said, "How is this possible? Thousands of pounds per mu? This... It's just too impossible......"

She raised her head again and asked, "Your Majesty, you said that this person cultivated rice with a yield of 750 catties per mu, I don't know which old gentleman this person is?" ”

Liu Quan smiled slightly and said, "Since Linglang is curious, why don't you follow me to meet this gentleman in two days." ”

Although she and Ji Linglang are monarchs and ministers, they grew up together when they were children, and they are better than sisters, otherwise they would not have overruled public opinion and let Ji Linglang, who has been a talented woman since childhood, become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Seeing that the sisters were so excited, Liu Quan was also looking forward to the next meeting.

She is looking forward to what Li Fan's expression will be when she knows that she is the current empress!
