As soon as Master Cen said this, other adults quickly responded.

He said that His Majesty has worked too hard these years and is now sick again. If he knew that the garden would not be completed, he would be angry or sad...

Su Xin was a little helpless. My father had been in charge of the country for so many years, and what he cared about most was the people. If there was really a need, all the royal family and relatives would have to cut down on clothing and food to prepare for the drought. How could it be because a garden could not be built? Just lose your temper?

However, the fifth prince still believed it.

"Sister Huang, my father has a headache every day now. It seems that it is not good to hurt my father so much... How about we think of other ways? By the way, a few days ago we said that we would spend money on raising horses. How about we spend money on raising horses? How about we wait a little longer?" The fifth prince said seriously.

"Since Jingguo became the crown prince, he has been very close to the Rong Kingdom. Once Jingguo wants to go to war, he will definitely be able to get the support of the Rong Kingdom's war horses, and our number of war horses will be at a disadvantage. Raising horses is related to the stability of our country. Even if it is useless, we cannot do without it. , No." Su Xin immediately retorted.

Master Cen nodded several times.

"How can my father be so kind and reluctant to part with a garden? This matter was proposed by me. As a son, it is my fault that I cannot perform filial piety. It has nothing to do with the ministers and the people. I can personally advise my father. Besides, now this It’s time to add some drought-tolerant crops. It just so happens that in my village in Yuyang, I have been experimenting with some wild root crops on part of the land, and there have been some results. However, the number of seeds left is not large and cannot be spread throughout the world, so Mainly in the Jincheng area, trial planting will be carried out first..."

In her farm, she had grown a lot of things before, all of which were fresh and exotic.

She gave the farmers enough money as a reward and asked them to study how to increase crop yields. The results have always been good.

In the past two years, someone found a root crop in the mountains. It is similar to later generations of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but it is a little smaller. However, after cultivation by farmers, the roots planted last year are already as big as two fists. Moreover, this The crops are very drought-tolerant and easy to grow, but they also have shortcomings, which is that they are not tasty and have a slightly astringent taste, but they are non-toxic.

She originally wanted them to think about how to change the taste of this thing, but if it was really needed, the taste would come second, and solving the immediate problem first would be the most important.

As soon as Suxin's words came out, the attention of several adults was focused on the new crop.

"The thing the princess mentioned is really edible? Can it fill your stomach?" Several people asked quickly.

"Of course it is possible. Farmers in Zhuangzi came to report that this crop can survive in the sand. Because its surface is relatively black, they named it Shatan fruit. The planting method is also relatively simple. Three to It takes four months to mature, but the taste is not good..." Suxin explained.

Several adults described the drought in Jincheng as serious, but in fact it was not.

It is true that a severe drought is coming, but they have already decided how much money they will use in advance. Even if a drought is unavoidable, it should not displace too many people.

The second half was almost spent discussing the use of new crops.

After the next court session, several auxiliary ministers also stopped Su Xin and wanted to chat more, leaving the other princes alone.

"Which of the princes do you think is more capable, Princess?" Master Cen asked first.

To be honest, Suxin didn't know how to answer this.

From her point of view, no matter who comes to power among these people, they can only maintain their status. They even need to be matched with good ministers to lead the new emperor with great difficulty.

For example, the second emperor brother is not particularly smart in her eyes, but he is not stupid either. He has some brains, but he is a bit proud. If someone praises him a few words, he will immediately get carried away. If such a person becomes the emperor, , Maybe it can be stable at first, but after a long time, it is easy to trust the treacherous ministers.

The status of the Third Emperor's biological mother was too low, and the world still valued family background. He could not convince others. In addition, the Third Emperor's brother himself had a slight inferiority complex and was timid. Several auxiliary ministers were frightened and did not dare to say anything.

The fifth child is naive and can't sit still. If he is asked to read more books, he just wants to play. He is already nineteen and is still very lazy. When he becomes an emperor in the future, his ministers will have to push him to work. Bar?

Another point is that if Lao Wu ascends the throne, Concubine Rou will be the Queen Mother.

Concubine Rou's family was very powerful in the past. At that time, there was an enemy like the imperial concubine, who was not honest. If a queen mother appeared in the family in the future, her relatives would easily cause too much trouble.

The sixth lao used to be the follower of the fourth and seventh laos, but now that the imperial concubine has fallen, when he heard that he turned around, he stumbling upon the fourth and seventh laos, and even asked someone to teach Hua Lingxi a lesson in the cold palace...

She couldn't understand this kind of behavior.

As far as she knows, Lao Liu's biological mother passed away early, and she got a lot of benefits from being with the Four Kings and Seven Kings in the past. He is a good flatterer, and Concubine Hua Guifei and Lao Si and Lao Qi are also pretty good to him. They are obviously inherited from others. His kindness was repaid with resentment, and his conduct was poor.

Lao Ba and Lao Jiu are young, and they still have to do homework every day. Their homework is average.

The father is still seriously ill, and the eighth child still seduces the maids in the palace, and his temper is a bit frivolous...

So after thinking about it carefully, Suxin finally said: "Currently, Ninth Brother's problems are considered to be the smallest. He can still be trained, but there is no guarantee whether he will be able to stand alone in a few years."

Lao Jiu is already twelve years old and is young, so he has less trouble.

After hearing these words, several adults all felt the same way: "The Ninth Prince is better because he is young. If he can find a few more tutors to teach him, he might be even better. But...Prince Jingguo is already thirty now, and he is an upright man. The Ninth Prince is very different..."

Nowadays, it’s really true that no matter how you pick someone to be taller among the dwarfs, the one you pick out... can’t compare to Prince Jingguo!

"The assessment of the emperor's younger brothers is a matter for a few adults. I have said everything I should say. I don't know what to do with the rest. You can discuss it more." Su Xin said slowly, nodded politely, and then walked away gracefully. .

Seeing her leaving so neatly, several people actually felt... a little bit irritated.

Look at the eldest princess like this. She is neither humble nor arrogant. She has a "high-level face".

"I think the eldest princess has already figured it out... Seeing that we are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, she pretends that nothing has happened... Hey, this temperament is really the same as your Majesty, and your Majesty also handed over this difficult problem. Leave it to us and hide in the palace for peace and quiet." Mr. Li was also a little helpless.

The eldest princess is really capable.

Seeing things more clearly, I can see at a glance that there is something wrong with the questions they raised.

"Princess... what a pity! She is not a man! Do you remember that the prefect of Yuyang donated farm tools a few years ago? I heard that the farm tools were made by the princess. At that time, your majesty even rewarded you with gold and silver. Now the princess actually returns People have been thinking about food for a long time... It shows that they value the people more than themselves. After the princess came back, she did not live a luxurious life. She has an upright character, but she is also talented and learned, and she is good at riding and shooting. It is rare..."
