Chapter 133: It's Nine Stones
After retiring from the dynasty, Jia Xiong immediately walked out of Zhangtai Palace and walked into an inconspicuous tea shop.
There are not many people in the tea shop, and the little guy is shouting.
Seeing Jia Xiong coming over, a person immediately greeted him and bowed to Jia Xiong with a very respectful attitude. This man was dressed as a servant, and he didn't look outstanding, but he looked very shrewd.
"Let's go, let's go inside."
So the two walked into a private room, where the sound insulation effect was very good, Jia Xiong took the lead in asking: "Have you checked it out?" ”
The servant wiped a trace of uncertainty on his face, but he still said with certainty: "After checking clearly, the rice in Chang'an Township will definitely not be able to grow eight stones per mu to produce grain." ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, the slave asked Dr. Chunyu personally."
"Asked Dr. Chunyu?" Jia Xiong was surprised, and did not mean to doubt it.
Of course Dr. Chun Yu he knows, it is Dr. Qi Guo, after the fall of Qi State, he served in the current dynasty, and later was idle because of some things, and recently he was deposed as a farmer because of the jade statue.
The location is Chang'an Township, and I heard that I also planted rice myself.
"How about the rice planted by Dr. Chunyu?" Jia Xiong is a cautious person, and some details must be asked clearly so that he can implement the next plan.
The servant smiled, made a reassuring gesture, and said, "Don't worry, general, I have personally visited Dr. Chunyu's field, and although the rice is not yet ripe, I can see a rough idea. ”
"This seedling is small, not growing fast, slightly better than ordinary rice seedlings, but in terms of yield, it will definitely not exceed eight stones, I dare to guarantee."
Bondage raised one-handed guarantee.
Jia Xiong nodded, showing satisfaction, and then asked, "Have you ever gone inside to understand?" ”
Chang'an Township has a vast area, and His Majesty gave Li Zhao land twice and was not connected together, so Li Zhao let Chun Yuyue know about the situation here, so he let him farm in the periphery.
The slave also wanted to enter Chang'an Township at that time, but he was a servant, and his identity was not outstanding at first glance, so he was stopped, so he couldn't know the situation inside.
"No, you can't go inside as a slave."
Jia Xiong nodded, he also heard that it was difficult for people who were not rich to enter Chang'an Township.
But I don't ask anymore.
Since the rice planted by Dr. Chun Yu is like this, presumably the rice planted by Li Zhao is not far from there! In other words, as he had learned before, Li Zhao could not grow rice with a yield of eight stones per mu.
Hehe, this is a bully!
Jia Xiong laughed, with a strong sense of purpose.
Originally, there was no conflict between a chief general and a young man, and there was no gap between him and Li Zhao, but Li Zhao made meritorious contributions in the Eastern Tour, and the emperor named him the main general, and the soldiers he led were the Xianyang City Defense Army.
The Xianyang city defense army was only 200,000, led by two main generals, and he was one of them, but the emperor's title of Li Zhao as the main general meant that one person had to give way to become a deputy general.
As far as he and the other are concerned, his prestige and power are slightly inferior to the other, that is, he is likely to be demoted to lieutenant general.
How could he be subservient to others, so he was extremely resentful of Li Zhao, and Li Zhao's delay in taking over was also because of him.
"That's it! Stand down quickly, don't be found out that I have something to do with you. ”
Jia Xiong asked the slave to leave, but the slave did not leave immediately, but muttered and wanted to say something.
"Say something quickly!"
"No!" The servant paused, lowered his voice and said, "Xiang Gong knows that you are going to target Li Zhao, and specially allocated five acres of land to you, which is planted with rare things. ”
"Oh! Xiang Gong really has a heart! I don't know what kind of crop it is? ”
The servant smiled mysteriously, and his voice was lowered: "Absolutely unexpected, but the pioneering thing, called 'maize', can yield ten stones per mu, and the harvest period is only five months." ”
"What? Can you produce ten stones per mu? Jia Xiong opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time, but the next moment he became excited, "Ten stones, haha, it turned out to be ten stones, or five months." ”
"I heard that Li Zhao's rice only grows twice a year, but it is several times better than it."
Seeing Jia Xiong's surprise, the servant smiled slightly, "Xiang Gong said, as long as you kill Li Zhao, there will be more surprises." ”
Jia Xiong clenched his fists, ignored the slave subordinates, and promised: "Go back and tell Xiang Gong that Xiong will definitely do what he wants." ”
The enslavement smile is still undiminished, "No, don't worry, the general will definitely convey your words, and I also wish the general success in advance." ”
Soon, after being informed of the location and characteristics of the maize, the slave departed.
Looking at the ordinary back, Jia Xiong sneered, and he already had a plan in his heart.
The next day, after the morning dynasty, Ying Zheng summoned all the ministers to drive Chang'an Township, which can be described as vigorous, alarming many people in the court, everyone is asking what happened to make His Majesty so excited, and later learned that Li Zhao's rice is ripe, and today is the time to fulfill the promise.
Some people came to be interested, and even some people even inquired about watching the play, Li Zhao swore that he would be able to grow eight stones of grain per mu, and the emperor also made a decision on the spot, if Li Zhao could not plant it, it would be a bully.
Eight stones, there has never been, even if Li Zhao has great ability, it is impossible to grow it, especially some people who do not have a good impression of Li Zhao are eyeing it, they plan that once Li Zhao loses power, the first one in Chang'an Township will become their bag.
I heard that the paper is from Chang'an Township, and everyone covets it very much!
The road is open in front, and the chariots behind are moving, attracting countless passers-by.
Soon, I came to Chang'an Township.
Li Zhao summoned all the slaves to greet him early in the morning, and when he saw the chariot, he knelt down one by one, his trembling strands and not daring to raise his head.
These people were all assigned to Li Zhao by the emperor, and they knew the majesty of the emperor very well, and some peasants who were recruited later had never seen a big scene, so how could they withstand such a scene.
After all, Li Jinong was born as a wealthy businessman, and he was used to seeing big scenes, and he was even more fortunate to have seen His Majesty, although he was not as shocked as the slaves, but he was also shocked by such a scene, and his face was full of tears.
Yes, it's hot tears, tears of excitement.
His Majesty's arrival in Chang'an Township is to descend on the Li family, how can he be in the Li family, and he actually let the emperor personally drive it, which is something he could never have imagined in eight lifetimes.
Although the Li family was wealthy in the past, they still tried their best to get close to His Majesty, but no matter how hard they tried, the main family couldn't even get an official position, but they helped Li Si, but they didn't know that they were a wolf.
At this moment, his nephew has not only become the main general, but also has been so appreciated by His Majesty, what an honor, what a glorious ancestor, the eldest brother should be blind to the knowledge.
"Zhao'er, good job!" Looking at the hunched back, Li Jinong sighed with emotion.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" Everyone in Chang'an Township was prostrate and shouted in unison.
Ying Zheng walked out of the chariot, swept everyone, was very satisfied, and smiled at Li Zhao, "Li Zhao, I'm sorry for you." ”
Troublesome?
Li Jinong, who was beside Li Zhao, was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was very excited.
As soon as His Majesty got out of the car, he smiled at his nephew and said, 'Trouble', what a great significance of the word 'trouble'! You know, it came from the mouth of the emperor, and the mouth of the emperor would never have the word 'trouble', but in the case of the nephew, it became an exception.
Li Zhao hurriedly knelt down and arched his hand and said, "The minister is afraid! ”
"Get up! You're welcome! Ying Zheng waved his hand, and at the same time swept everyone in Chang'an Township, "Get up!" I'm just a guest today, I don't have to. ”
"No!" Everyone shouted in unison, staggered to their feet, and found that their backs were wet.
"Okay, Li Zhao, let me ask you, is the rice matter done?" Ying Zheng looked at the rice field, saw the golden yellow, and asked.
"It's done!"
"Okay, harvest now! I want to see if there are really eight stones, and let the ministers see how my Daqin has the grain of eight stones per mu. ”
Ying Zheng said, glanced at the ministers who followed behind, his eyes were cold, the ministers were frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head.
At the beginning, they followed Li Si to really question it, and they must have been hated by His Majesty at this moment.
"No!" Li Zhao responded and ordered the slaves and peasants to go to the fields to work.
Yingzheng was not idle, standing on the edge of the field with his hands behind his back and watching.
The rice ears pressed the branches, full and translucent, and the wisps of rice fragrance slowly wafted in, as if calling for a bumper harvest.
He smiled slightly, then turned around, his eyes fell on Li Jinong, who was standing respectfully on the side, and asked, "I recognize you." ”
When Li Jinong heard this, his trembling tremors were frightened, and he quickly knelt down, "Grass people, grass people meet Your Majesty." "At this moment, he is really afraid, you must know that when the Li family went bankrupt, his family was exiled by the person in front of him, and he appeared here, and he was recognized by the emperor, how could he not be afraid?
He had to pay off the relevant officials so that he would not be exiled.
"Damn the grass people!"
And Ying Zheng didn't mean to be angry, he actually came over and helped Li Jinong, and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, let him go in the past, why should I die, of course, I also want to thank you for bringing me such a love Qing." ”
Ying Zheng pointed at Li Zhao, "You have a good nephew!" ”
Li Jinong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and saluted with sincere fear, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" "I'm glad for a while, and I'm glad I have a good nephew! Otherwise, you will definitely be exiled today.
"Okay, when this matter is over, I have something important to ask you, and you wait."
Have something important to ask? Li Jinong was stunned for a while, he and the emperor never had anything to do, what could he do? Could it be because of that back then?
Thinking of this, Li Jinong's heart was full of hatred, hatred for that person, even if that person had been put on death row.
"The grass people know!" Li Jinong hurriedly responded and bowed ninety-degree.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and his eyes returned to the field, where he was busy.
In less than half an hour, an acre of rice was harvested, and one after another was put into the primitive harvester, and a bundle of rice was produced and moved to it.
The steward had already prepared the brass weighing utensils for measuring, and a load of rice was carried up to weigh it.
The ministers were all watching from the side, Jia Xiong was among them, at this moment his face crossed a slight sneer, he just passed by the land where Chun Yuyue planted and saw clearly, it is indeed as the slave said, this rice harvest is very thin, just slightly stronger than ordinary rice grass.
Although the harvested rice at this time was close to withering and there was no trace to be seen, he was sure that the harvest would never be good.
The yield of ordinary rice per mu is no more than three stones, even if this rice is good, it will never exceed five stones, hehe! Five stones, is it far from eight stones?
The rice had been harvested and weighed, and he could predict that Li Zhao was about to face a bully, and he had already prepared the words of impeachment and waited for that moment to happen.
"Your Majesty, the weighing results have come out."
There are waiters watching from the side, in fact, he tracks the whole process, from harvesting to weighing, and the result is absolutely not wrong.
"Tell me, is there any eight stones?" Ying Zheng looked very nervous and hurriedly asked.
The ministers also clenched their fists when they heard this, and slowly leaned over, Jia Xiong was not far behind, and came to Yingzheng's side, but his heart was already boiling, as long as he listened to the report, he would immediately impeach, and the wording was already on his lips.
No one can occupy the position of his commander, and whoever occupies it will suffer.
"Your Majesty, Four Stones. The first batch."
"Four stones?" Before the waiter finished his report, Jia Xiong was ecstatic when he heard it, and he couldn't listen to the last three words at all, and the words that had been brewing for a long time couldn't help but come out, "Haha, four stones, just four stones, Your Majesty, did you hear that?" It's only four stones, not eight. ”
"Li Zhao swore that he would be able to plant eight stones, but it was only four stones, this is a bully, a big crime, please give your majesty an edict, and the minister will personally arrest it."
Jia Xiong's burly body spread, and his figure flashed to Li Zhao's side, making a grappling shape.
Seeing this person move so violently, Li Zhao was surprised, but he was also frightened and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing Li Zhao's retreat, Jia Xiong laughed, and said while bullying him: "Your Majesty, Li Zhao resisted arrest, and the crime will be increased by one degree, please issue an edict immediately, and the minister will be killed immediately." ”
Jia Xiong pointed his finger at Li Zhao, his eyes revealing a fierce light.
At this moment, the ministers didn't know what Jia Xiong was going to do, and they all looked at him with strange eyes, and the emperor frowned.
"Guilty edict? What are you crazy about? Who said it's just four stones? Li Zhao looked at Jia Xiong like a madman, but did not back down.
Jia Xiong was unforgiving, "Hehe! As I said earlier, it is four stones."
Li Zhao interrupted him, "You're deaf!" Didn't hear the first batch? ”
"The first batch?" Jia Xiong secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly looked at the waiter, and then the waiter's words came out again, "The second batch, five stones, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to General Li Zhao, this rice mu yields nine stones, which is really the precedent of my Great Qin!" ”
"Nine stones? Impossible, how can it be nine stones? Isn't it four stones? After Jia Xiong heard this, his entire burly body leaned back, his steps staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.
Li Zhao smiled slightly, and there were not too many ups and downs in his heart, after all, this was expected, and even a little helpless, the yield per mu at the moment was still not as good as the 21st century!
There is no way, he does not have advanced equipment, and he cannot make efficient fertilizer.
However, the nine stones are also very good.
When the ministers heard this, they let out a commotion, and there was too much disbelief in their tones, but they didn't dare to show it, only that expression, which was really funny.
However, everyone knows that they are shocked, and the yield of nine stones per mu is too outrageous, completely beyond imagination.
There is also an emotion that Li Zhao, the bastard, actually did it, and even exceeded, how did he do it? This is not the main thing, the main thing is that some people have been ready to wait for Li Zhao to be disposed of, and they can take action to snatch Chang'an Township, but at this moment, their hopes are completely disappointed.
"Nine stones, it's actually nine stones?" Ying Zheng pinched his beard, and his eyes lit up.
