"Alas......"

The tranquil lake rippled with layers of ripples, and a group of delicate, colorful, noble and elegant beauties sat on the lakeside.

Fish swim in the water, flower petals drift on the lake like the morning glow, willows cut the gentle breeze, everything is like the happy days of the past.

People came and went in the palace, and a wave of guests came one after another, as if they had restored their former prosperity, and many people were very polite.

Only now do they know that what is Shen Yu's plan to save the prince?

What an astounding thing to be!

Just like Governor Li saw the Ministry of Agriculture, they were also extremely shocked.

No land, no paddy field, high-yield crops of 3,000 catties, 4,000 catties and 6,000 catties per mu, and they can be planted many times!

What is this, this is a big killer that sweeps everything, if the crown prince is not taken out when he is deposed, the emperor will definitely be sure again and again, you are the next emperor worthy of the name, don't worry, the father is just helping you save the throne for a few years.

And at the last moment, as long as the prince declares that there are these three things, he will go to find this thing, and the government and the opposition will definitely let the Son of Heaven take the initiative and praise the prince decently, and will never force the prince to be killed!

As long as the prince has mastered these three things.

But...... This is just the strategy I used to save the prince.

Of course, this group of people knew what these three kinds of representatives, as well as the novel dozen or so crops recorded by the valley, represented, so they invited Shen Yu over as soon as possible and asked Mr. Shen where this thing was.

Unfortunately, Mr. Shen said, he can't say.

Yes, you can't say.

When Mr. Shen signed up to be the prince's housekeeper, no one helped him, when he was ostracized in Beijing, no one cared about him, when he was a poor scholar, risking many dangers (before and after the prince was deposed, many people who depended on the prince were killed silently, and people like him who came all the way from the capital did not know how many dangers they encountered) came to the prince's mansion, and when he asked to see the prince, he waited for a long time, and finally, he waited for a drunken prince and said thank you to him, Just keep drinking.

The king treats me as a countryman, and I will return it as a countryman, but you are the prince...... What do you treat me?

The silent young man bowed deeply, indicating that he had three strategies for the prince, and then the prince just laughed, saying that he didn't need to say anything, and came to the bar.

So, he bowed deeply again and turned away.

At that moment, the crown princess saw the incomparable disappointment in his eyes, as well as regret.

So, now, is our group of people going to force Shen Yu to tell the secret behind the Compendium of Materia Medica?

They can't even complain about Shen Yu not doing enough now, because he really wants to help everyone.

But...... Everyone is still very curious, what exactly is he going to do?

"Mr. Shen is going to see Queen Yang."

Someone came over to report the situation, and this time, Xue Yuhua and the others, without Shen Yu's application, automatically lined up and prepared to go together.

……

"No need, it's me who should visit Mr. Shen!"

When everyone was still tidying up their faces, they heard that Empress Yang had already come to the door.

So, he saved Shen Yu a box of snacks.

This time, she didn't have the aggressive posture she had before, and even the guards around her only brought eight, and she came to the palace very politely.

"I've seen Aunt Yang, ah, it's really a good thing."

Shen Yu sighed, and after greeting him, he put the eighteenth volume of the Compendium of Materia Medica in front of Empress Yang.

"Actually, I want to dedicate this book to Queen Yang, and then ask Aunt Yang to see if there are any problems in it, and let the Son of Heaven read it."

"I don't have a problem, I just want to know, where does this thing grow!"

Yang Wanqing squinted her eyes and went straight to the point.

"Huh."

Shen Yu smiled and didn't answer, of course, this kind of answer is completely normal.

"The saint will not treat anyone harshly, especially your behavior, the death of the prince is framed by a traitor, and now it is being investigated, I promise you, as long as these three items can have tangible evidence, they will definitely redress the prince's grievances, including posthumous sealing."

"Huh."

Shen Yu just smiled, and Empress Yang was not angry, after all, Shen Yu was different from other princelings, he showed strong kindness, just a story of a female general of the Yang Sect, although she heard that Empress Yang was embarrassed, her face was red, and she was very ashamed, but she also had to admit that this was such a powerful propaganda method.

Such a sycophant, a little more trouble!

"Mr. Shen, I know you're angry, but if you can take out this thing, we can negotiate well, right?"

Shen Yu smiled, and his gaze fell on Xue Yuhua.

Suddenly, the crown princess suddenly understood, at this moment, what did Shen Yu want her to do!

"However, someone wants to be my mother, and they keep calling me daughter!"

Her resentment burst forth at this time.

"How could it be, Yuhua, we used to be brothers and sisters, and now we are also equals, Sister Yuhua, I haven't called you like this for a long time, what was wrong with my sister before, sister, don't be angry......"

Empress Yang said politely, her voice was extremely sweet.

"Someone else wants me to kowtow a few times......"

"Ah, sister, are you still angry? Or, how many kowtows will my sister give you? I'm really embarrassed, you know, I'm too rude, it's really ......"

Empress Yang was not angry at all, if soft words could solve the problem in front of her, she could do anything to Shen Yu.

Anything really goes!

Do you really think that the emperor's knife is good?

Historically, almost all sharp knives have ended up ruining homes!

Hebei Jiangmen, when Empress Yang took the throne, everyone knew that everyone in the Yang family embarked on a dangerous road of nine deaths and one life!

Don't look at what the Son of Heaven said nicely, everyone is just a lackey of the old emperor, when the old emperor clears out some of the enemies, when the remaining enemies unite, the old emperor will definitely compromise and betray Hebei Jiangmen to stabilize power.

This is a clear card, as long as anyone who has read the history books knows, no matter how powerful Hebei Jiangmen is, how can he use the power of one state to compete with eight states in the world?

As long as the old emperor hints at Hebei Jiangmen and says that as long as the Yang family is killed, the treatment will still be the same, so what will be the result?

Of course, Empress Yang is not a person who sits idly by, but the same is true for the Son of Heaven.

Even if she tried her best to kill the old emperor in advance and monopolize the government, but the princes will definitely turn their faces, and when the war continues, Hebei Jiangmen still has a very low winning rate!

But...... Shen Yu gave her, including everyone, a brand new and accessible path!

With high-yield crops, the fierce conflict will disappear quickly, especially under her control, it can become a sharp weapon, and the propaganda of the female generals of the Yang Sect can get the hearts of the people, and even faintly make everyone feel that the emperor is sorry for the Yang family!

Then the Yang family can really be well stabilized.

She simply fell in love with Shen Yu's scheme, she really wanted to snatch this person directly!

Shen Yu didn't speak, Shen Yu just smiled and watched the sisters reconcile as before, well, even if it was superficial, it would be okay for Xue Yuhua to be angry.

Anyway, it's a cat, the princess is a Persian cat, and Queen Yang is like a big raccoon cat, so let's toss them slowly.

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Yuhua finally let out a sulk, or at least made her feel much better.

"Well, those high-yield crops are not in a hurry, in fact, this is all part of the strategy, just to ease the contradictions."

Shen Yu sighed and sighed again.

"The high-yielding crops are good, the yield has increased tenfold, and then, after a few decades, the population has increased tenfold, and then they kill each other, and it will be even more bloody......

"Ten times more in decades?"

“…… Aunt Yang, don't be like this, don't pretend to be confused, ten times is just a pronoun.

There are many small knowledge in the Compendium of Materia Medica that can save people, medicine can save people, so that many people can die less, and high-yield crops can make many people survive, and then ...... When the time comes, there will still be a bang after all, and a war that is even worse and more terrible than the current one will also happen.

Aunt Yang, I won't give you the crops for the time being, and I will wait until I see the Son of Heaven to offer auspicious rui. I'll give you a question to think about, what is my middle policy? ”

Shen Yu asked very gently.

"Well, the topic is very simple, the current situation of Daqian, how to solve the problem.

With mildness, everyone can bear it, and even many people happily solve the current contradictions in the world.

Then create a great cause, a glorious and prosperous world, everyone does not have to fight their own people, one by one prosperous.

Presumably, with Aunt Yang's smart brain, she is much more powerful than her sister-in-law, so if you think about it, tell me, maybe it's better than I thought. ”

Shen Yu said very politely.

Excuse me, I have a few eggs in my pocket.

……

"Really, I'm so!"

After returning to the barracks, the first thing he did was to stomp his feet.

Of course, it was not Shen Yu who was scolded, but the question that Shen Yu gave her.

No wonder when the ancient strategists said three strategies, the people in power hated it, you see Shen Yu, this bastard, what is he doing?

I, Yang Wanqing, was the queen of the dynasty, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, rampant in the world, and then when you tested me, you didn't ask me what the best policy was, but in a cat-teasing tone, asked me, ah, Mimi, I have a few eggs in my pocket, and I will give you four correct answers!

This joke was told to others by Shen Yu when he was chatting with the troupe, and then it was spread, Yang Wanqing couldn't stop laughing when she heard it, but when she became a party, she really couldn't laugh!

You think I can't guess the best idea!

He didn't even ask me!

He looks down on me like that!

You say I can't guess the middle way...... Well, this topic is what she has been thinking about since she became the queen, or it has been a question that countless people have been thinking about for thousands of years!

It was the ultimate puzzle, how could she come up with it?

If before, everyone thought that Shen Yu was joking, but now...... Everyone only knows one thing, people dare to take high-yield crops at the bottom, so there must be something very good in the middle strategy.

By the way, what else is there to do? She originally came over this time to ask about this, but in the end she was embarrassed to ask by the villain.

She really can't think of it!

……

In October of the seventh year of the rejuvenation of Daqian, it was already freezing outside, and at this time, the envoy from the imperial court also came to Linzhou City.

Shen Yu dedicated the book to Empress Yang, but did not hand over the source of the relevant agricultural products.

However, this matter spread all over the world with the greatest speed, and the newly printed eighteenth volume of the Compendium of Materia Medica was sold out of stock in the north and south of the country.

There are three reasons for this.

First, Shen Yu skillfully pulled in the waste prince, the crown princess, and Yang Hou, plus the thief saint and the sword saint from the water later, and the momentum was very loud.

Second, Empress Yang swept away the two families, and the people below were panicked.

Any time there is turmoil, it is easy to have unpredictable consequences, and at this time, someone suddenly proposes a way to ease the contradictions, and of course it is necessary to make a big publicity.

Your Majesty the Emperor, with high-yield crops, do you still want to meet everyone with real swords?

Third, and one that is ignored by the vast majority of people, Shen Yu is a scholar who is powerless.

Father-in-law Wei has inspected it, the crown princess has inspected it, Empress Yang has inspected it, and many people have inspected it.

In this era of extraordinary strength, even the emperor has to practice one or several martial arts to protect himself, or drag until the arrival of the guards, the real big man, which one is not a hole card with a little protection?

However, Shen Yu really has no martial arts, and any person can pinch him to death!

Sometimes, the weak is better than the strong, everyone doesn't have to worry that Shen Yu has more ideas and conspiracies, it's a big deal to strangle him, and such a weak person, of course, has to be co-opted, he is a vine, and he must snuggle up to the towering tree!

In this way, making him famous is much better than letting the crown princess and Empress Yang do anything, and even the Son of Heaven is relieved to let people promote him.

This person is weak and easy to grasp.

If you don't listen to the call, then ...... Just smash him with a bang.

……

There are hundreds of miles from the jungle state capital to the imperial capital, and of course, if you want to go elsewhere, you can take a detour as much as you want.

The tenth month of the lunar calendar is equal to November, it is very cold outside, and the people who are in a hurry at this time often wear very thick clothes, but riding a horse is a physical work, and it is easy to sweat, and then it is blown by the cold wind, and it is easy to catch a cold and fever.

"Ahh

Shen Yu sneezed fiercely, and then looked at Xue Yuhua's back embarrassedly.

The two of them rode a horse together, he hugged her waist so as not to fall off, and she opened the true qi of the protective body, resisting the cold wind for him, including a wisp of true qi from Shen Yu's hand into his body, making him very comfortable.

Such an ambiguous posture really made Shen Yu feel like he was on pins and needles, but Shen Yu must know that this is a must.

More than a month ago, the eighteenth volume of the Compendium of Materia Medica was officially published all over the world, and many people knew that there were certain miraculous crops that could change everything.

So...... Will everyone regard Shen Yu as a Buddha of all families?

The vast majority of people do, but there are a handful of people who are extremely angry.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, and the world was in disarray, which finally opened a great drama of the fall of imperial power and the rise of local places.

The Yellow Turban Army was able to revolt successfully, largely because of the help and impetus of local forces.

The crown princess and others have already captured three groups of assassins, including disciples of the Black Lotus Sect.

This is a professional rebel team, and it has had a broken connection with the major families since ancient times, such as this time after Empress Yang destroyed the Zheng family, etc., the activities of the Black Lotus Sect in some places quickly became rampant.

Since the Son of Heaven wants our lives, we will beat the world to pieces, Hebei Jiangmen is very powerful, but in all dynasties, how many powerful armies have fallen into the quagmire and finally ended?

They will be in some places loyal to the Son of Heaven and rich in wealth, helping the Black Lotus Sect and others to make things worse.

However, when Shen Yu took out the eighteenth volume, many people were not happy.

For example, the Black Lotus Sect suddenly found that a lot of funding was suddenly gone.

Similarly, there are some careerists, in their eyes, Shen Yu's next policy is an emperor's asset, and the middle strategy also makes them very tempted.

You can calm the world, but you can't calm people's hearts.

I see your opinions on grain production.

Written like this, first, the number of catties in that era was small. The second is, it's good to exaggerate, and even if it is said that the yield per mu is 6,000 catties, but it comes out is 1,000 catties, will people in the world think that the protagonist is deceiving, or do they feel that they are not good enough?

By the way, there is also a very deep and important foreshadowing in it, which will be used later.
