Chapter 13: Your Highness is the God of Seed Selection

East suburb farm.

It is affiliated to the Seed Selection Department, and the Seed Selection Department’s trial planting of crops is all done on this farm.

Today the farm is bustling with people, it is very lively.

The officials of the Seed Selection Department who were once high and mighty are now planting rice in the fields like ordinary farmers.

Not only did they have no complaints, but they were all very enthusiastic and competed with each other.

Just to leave a good impression in front of Fang Heng.

Fang Heng sat on the couch, with two maids serving him on both sides.

One person was massaging his legs while the other was peeling oranges. How happy they were.

As the saying goes, the lower ones use their physical strength, the middle ones use their wisdom, and the higher ones use their humanity.

Artificial pollination is not difficult, but it is very tedious.

Fang Heng naturally pushed all the tasks to his subordinates.

Just after taking a bite of the orange peeled by the maid, I saw Xu Xingzhi walking towards me.

He was in a hurry and his steps were very fast.

"Master Xu, what's the urgent matter?"

"How about trying the orange first?"

Fang Heng's greeting made Xu Xingzhi frown even deeper.

A deep "川" character seemed to be engraved between his brows.

"Your Highness, I will not eat oranges."

"I came here to see what crops your Highness has ordered the six departments to grow."

Although he had received the intelligence long ago, Xu Xingzhi still played it safe and asked Fang Heng to take the initiative to say that they were planting rice that could not produce ears of rice.

To avoid making any mistakes.

"Master Tian, ​​please tell Master Xu about it." Fang Heng ordered.

Tian Sheng put down the rice seedlings, shook off the mud on his sleeves, walked forward and reported.

"Master Xu, we are following His Highness's instructions and planting the rice varieties in the warehouse."

"But the rice number 127, Wu, can't produce ears?"

Xu Xingzhi asked sternly, his expression grim.

Tian Sheng looked hesitant and glanced at Fang Heng. Seeing that Fang Heng didn't say anything, he said it with a stiff upper lip.

"It's number 5127!"

"but……"

"absurd!"

Without waiting for Tian Sheng to explain, Xu Xingzhi roared out loudly.

It's like a lotus flower blooming on the tongue, or the sound of a Huangzhong or Dalu bell.

Tian Sheng couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Tian Sheng, look at what you have done?"

"Am I worthy of His Majesty's grace? Am I worthy of the court's salary?"

Xu Xingzhi's barrage of scolding immediately made Tian Sheng furious.

You are just a small doctor. You have been doing nothing all these years. Why do you scold me?
I have clung to the Ninth Prince's thigh, do I still need to look at your face?

Ha ha!

"Master Xu, this is wrong."

"How have I ever failed to show my loyalty to the Emperor? How have I ever failed to receive my salary?"

"I've only been following His Highness's orders. Could it be that there's something wrong with His Highness's orders?"

Tian Sheng spoke sinisterly.

In the midst of his words, Fang Heng was involved, which directly defeated Xu Xing's army.

"Humph--"

"Your Highness is young and ignorant, and doesn't understand farming. You, Tian Sheng, have worked in the Seed Selection Department for five years. Don't you know anything about farming?"

"Look at the rice you planted. Can it produce ears of rice?"

After scolding Tian Sheng, Xu Xingzhi turned around and bowed respectfully to Fang Heng.

"Your Highness, I will die for your advice."

"Your Majesty works tirelessly day and night, busy with state affairs. As a son, even if Your Highness doesn't share His Majesty's worries, how could you act recklessly and treat farming as a joke?"

Xu Xingzhi's expression was sincere despite his stubbornness, and he was truly a man of iron will.

Fang Heng recalled the evaluation of Xu Xingzhi in the file.

How fitting!
Upright!

He has the demeanor of a remonstrating minister!
However, Fang Heng did not take Xu Xingzhi's advice to heart, but just laughed it off.

Daqian officials such as Xu Xingzhi and Tian Sheng had their own limitations.

It's not their fault.

In fact, the actions of officials of the Seed Selection Department throughout the ages were limited to "seed selection" without the concept of "breeding".

All he did was search for high-yield crops, traveling across mountains and seas. He used the three-line method to cultivate hybrid rice, a feat completely beyond the comprehension of Xu Xingzhi and others.

People cannot imagine things beyond their own scope of cognition.

Fang Heng cleared his throat and did not blame Xu Xingzhi, but spoke calmly.

"Cough cough!"

"Master Xu, I have done something that will benefit the country and the people, and relieve my father's worries."

"I must be worthy of my father and the common people."

"It's even more worthy of the officials of the lower six departments."

"When this batch of rice is planted, that will be their day of advancement."

When Xu Xingzhi heard Fang Heng's sophistry, he became so angry that his face turned red like pig liver.

"Your Highness's eloquence is something I admire."

"But I cannot agree with what Your Highness said about matters of great benefit to the country and the people."

"Tian Sheng, why don't you take His Highness back to the Seed Selection Department?"

"Just do what you need to do, don't mess around."

Xu Xingzhi issued orders to the officials of the six departments below.

The officials of the lower six departments who were working in the fields looked at Xu Xingzhi and then at Fang Heng.

Bend down silently and continue farming.

As for Xu Xingzhi's orders, he pretended not to hear them.

Can the arm of the doctor in the Seed Selection Department be stronger than the thigh of the Ninth Prince?
Seeing that no one obeyed his orders, Xu Xingzhi felt a black screen in front of his eyes, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

In just half a day, he was no longer able to command the six departments?
Tian Sheng looked at Xu Xingzhi with pity, as if saying.

Lord Xu, stop struggling.

Your Highness the Ninth Prince is the God of the Seed Selection Department!
Fang Heng said to Xu Xingzhi's servant.

"Can't you see that your master is not feeling well? Why don't you send Master Xu back to rest?"

"Your Highness, I will do it right away."

Xu Xingzhi's servant felt relieved when he heard Fang Heng's words, and quickly pulled Xu Xingzhi away from the farm.

Xu Xingzhi was filled with grief and indignation. He never expected that even his own servants would obey the orders of the Ninth Prince.

After Xu Xingzhi left the farm.

Tian Sheng began to fan the flames.

"Your Highness, Xu Xingzhi, that old antique, has been in the Seed Selection Department for over a decade, doing nothing. He should have been demoted long ago."

"Today, Your Highness has arrived at the Seed Selection Department. Everyone in the department now has hope."

Fang Heng saw through Tian Sheng's little thoughts at a glance.

He simply wanted to exclude Xu Xingzhi.

He was promoted to the position of doctor in the Seed Selection Department. As his own number one henchman, he had the opportunity to be promoted.

Fang Heng saw through the intrigues among the people below but did not say anything.

"Master Tian, ​​be careful with your words."

"Lord Xu has worked diligently and conscientiously in the Seed Selection Department for twenty years, and he is also loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

"Your Highness is broad-minded and ambitious, and your vision is so great that I am ashamed to be inferior to you."

Tian Sheng took advantage of every opportunity to lick Fang Heng and lick him with all his might until he felt comfortable.

After seeing this scene, Fang Heng had a deeper understanding of the saying "The Yellow River is turbid, the Yangtze River is clear."

An ethical official like Xu Xingzhi did not understand what he was doing and naturally would not obey his orders.

On the contrary, people like Tian Sheng who are fence-sitters don't care whether their actions are reasonable or not in order to curry favor with others.

In his heart, the most important thing is to serve himself happily.

"Lord Xu is short-sighted. He doesn't realize that what we are doing is truly beneficial to the country and the people."

"Once he sees the rice we grow, he will naturally admit his mistake."

"That's what His Highness said."

"It won't be long before Xu Xingzhi understands your good intentions, Your Highness, and bows down to your wisdom and bravery."

Tian Sheng's words were full of agreement.

But in his heart, he sneered and secretly criticized it.

Benefit the country and the people?

It takes a lot of time and effort just to grow rice that cannot produce ears of rice.

How can this be considered beneficial to the country and the people?

Fang Heng saw through all of Tian Sheng's duplicity, but he didn't care.

Anyway, from the beginning to the end, he never thought of accepting Tian Sheng as his younger brother.

As long as Tian Sheng grows hybrid rice according to his orders, it will be a great achievement.

"It is the Spring and Autumn Annals that know me and judge me!"

“Once the rice is planted, people all over the world will understand my painstaking efforts.”
