The crown prince was asked by the emperor.

He has always shown his reputation for deference and filial piety in front of the emperor, and rarely refutes. I just begged for a favor for King Yue, and was so asked by the emperor that I was so scared that I didn't have any ideas.

"Erchen doesn't dare."

The prince didn't dare to look at it, and no matter how much he wanted to win over King Yue, he didn't dare to offend the emperor.

"Erchen is distressed about the seventh brother, in the past ten years, he has done his filial piety for us in the imperial tomb, and he has injured his body, and Erchen wants to find a comfortable errand for the seventh brother."

"Does the prince think that Si Nongsi's work is not easy enough?" The emperor spoke slowly.

"The retainers didn't mean that." I don't know how to say a thousand words.

Staring at the floor tiles, several thoughts flashed in his eyes, "Si Nongsi advises the world to teach agriculture and mulberry, the dynasty was first established, and Taizu set up this department, with good intentions, I hope that the seventh brother can also perceive the intentions of his father." ”

"Well, step aside." The emperor no longer looked at him.

"Yes. The retainers retired. The prince sweated in his head and retreated.

When he returned to the East Palace, he instructed his attendants, "Go and tell King Yue, Si Nong's business is urgent, so be careful." Don't live up to the emperor's good intentions. ”

The attendant departed.

Yue Wangfu, Zhao Guangyuan listened to the words of the prince conveyed by the attendants of the East Palace, asked Cao Cuo to give a reward and sent him away.

Jiang Wentao was indignant, "What does the emperor mean by this?" My father and I thought that the emperor would idle the prince and let the prince be an idle clan, but we never thought that the prince would be sent to the Sinong Division! ”

Do you really think that King Yue likes to farm and raise flowers and plants in the imperial tomb?

The fourteen princes who were minors all received errands in the household department, and the fifteenth prince, who was only thirteen years old, also chose the criminal department to watch things. Which of the other princes didn't get a good deal in the six departments? Why did you get to the prince and arrange to go to the Si Nong Division?

It's better to let the prince be free.

All the henchmen were indignant. "Lord Wang, do you want to stay in the mansion if you are sick, and let your subordinates arrange the errands?"

The King of Chu, King Qin and others received errands in the Sixth Division, and they did not do it themselves, but mostly their subordinates. They can follow suit.

"The King of Qin, the King of Chu and others have their own reliance, if the prince pushes the errand out, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate." Some staff members disagreed. Now there is only one Jiang Xiang who dares to speak openly for the prince, and he offends the emperor and doesn't know how to send the prince.

Then you can't let the prince really go to farming.

The staff had a heated discussion.

"Since it is the emperor's good intentions, this king naturally can't be slack." Zhao Guangyuan's expression couldn't see joy or anger. "Now that it is September, the autumn harvest in various places has either begun or has been completed, and the disaster along the state is affected, and I am afraid that this winter will not help."

The people did not know how he had said about the matter along the state. Aren't you talking about his errand?

Jiang Wentao pondered, "Does the prince have any plans?" ”

The prince has a furrow in his chest, and he will not talk about Yanzhou for no reason.

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Since the emperor has arranged for me to lead the Department of Agriculture, I have to make some achievements." ”

His good father was suspicious and arranged for him to go to the Si Nong Division, but he was afraid that he would not believe that he was farming and raising flowers in the imperial tomb. King Qin of Chu had just lost many good hands, and his father was afraid that he would suspect him. I wanted to test and test his depth.

This "good intentions" naturally cannot be disappointed.

"The people in the Yanzhou area have been affected by the disaster this summer, and there are no grains in the autumn harvest, and I am afraid that it will be sad in winter," I am afraid that the little relief grain I received, no matter how tightly I eat it, it will not last next summer's harvest.

"I just have a few kinds of vegetable seeds in my hand, which can be planted by the people along the state, and in winter, I will send people to buy them along the state and transport them back to the capital and the north to sell, and the people in the north can also add one or two vegetables to the winter table, which is convenient and a subsidy for the people along the state."

Everyone was stunned, let the affected people along the state grow vegetables now? In winter, it will be transported to the capital and the north to sell?

It's a convenient thing. It will snow heavily in the capital in winter, vegetable leaves are rare, individual shallots are sold more expensive than meat, and it is really happy to have one or two vegetables to eat. It's just that......

"The autumn and winter along the state are not warm, and it is a long way to transport them to the capital...... "I am afraid that the vegetables will not be released."

A group of staff felt that although the prince had a good heart, he had donated grain before, but now he was thinking about their livelihood in winter for the people of Yanzhou, worrying about the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, and they were sincere.

It's just that the prince's heart is good, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to achieve in this operation.

"It's okay, I have my own plans." Zhao Guangyuan didn't want to mention it, and he was afraid that outsiders would probe him. The virtual and the real are just right.

only instructed Jiang Wentao, "Send a message to Yuezhou, let Lin Jingning prepare vegetable seeds, and let Zhuangzi over there personally send people to send vegetable seeds to Yanzhou." ”

Jiang Wentao was confused, but it was not good to oppose King Yue's arrangement in person. Answered.

After everyone left, Jiang Wentao stayed in the study, and "Lord Wang......" to solve the doubts of his subordinates.

This kind of dish is good, if there is a harvest in winter, the people along the state also have an income. If you can't sell it, no matter how bad it falls into your stomach, you can also have a full stomach. But can it really be done? Still want to sell to the capital?

The prince's intentions?

"Don't worry, it can be done." Zhao Guangyuan nodded. Thinking that Jiang Wentao and Jiang Xiang's father and son were worried about his errand, they also revealed a few words about their plans to him.

After several years of localized planting, they have adapted to the climate of Daqi, and the seeds have been selected and harvested.

Other seeds are afraid of ending up making wedding dresses for others, so try one or two vegetable seeds first, which is inconspicuous and can achieve the goal.

"It is impossible to grow grain along the state now, first plant some vegetables with a short cycle, and then make dried vegetables, kimchi, dehydrated dried vegetables, and transport them to the capital, which is a convenient thing."

Dried vegetables, kimchi, or dehydrated dried vegetables? What is it?

Jiang Wentao looked confused. Did the prince really study the technique of farming and high yield in the imperial tomb?

"It's too early to say that. When it is planted, I will send someone to teach the people along the state how to make it. ”

Jiang Wentao didn't ask, thought for a while, and said, "Lord Wang, why don't we open a workshop over there?" At that time, the people's vegetables were collected, and they were ready, and our people transported them back to the capital and the north to sell, I am afraid it would be better. ”

Zhao Guangyuan thought about it and agreed.

There are only a lot of people who are staring at him. Once he lets the people along the state grow vegetables, I am afraid that they are all guessing his intentions, and it will not be beautiful in case of destruction for others. Planting, purchasing and making under the guidance of your own workshop can also prevent others from destroying and viciously competing with the market.

"Then let's do it. Let Yuezhou Zhuangzi send a few people to Yanzhou, open shops, and set up workshops. The letter was written directly to Lin Jingning, who knew how many seeds to prepare and what kind of seeds to prepare. ”

Lin Jingning now vaguely knows his relationship with Changzhi and Xia'er, and he is even more dedicated to planning for him. Now he has transferred Lin Jingning to the Quartermaster Department, in charge of hoarding land and grain, Lin Jingning has helped to plant all kinds of grain over the years, and he has a lot of experience in what kind of environment and what kind of seeds.

The letter from the Yue Wangfu was sent, and all parts of the capital also knew that he was sent by the emperor to Si Nongsi.
