Oh my god, can you play like this?

Li Beichen has always been tough in governing the court, because Li Beichen's ideas cannot be implemented without his tough tactics.

So this time, Li Beichen also used tough measures to resolve the matter of Yin Heng, and scolded those ministers who had ulterior motives so much that they dared not speak anymore.

Although the matter was settled, Gu Jingcheng called Yin Heng into his study when he returned to the Marquis' Mansion in the evening.

The two talked for nearly an hour, but no one knew what they talked about.

The eldest lady only saw Yin Heng coming out of Gu Jingcheng's study, and his face didn't look very good. The next day, Yin Heng returned to the Yin Mansion.

Originally, it was planned that Gu Nanwan would stay until the fetus was stable before returning to Yin Mansion, but within two days of Yin Heng's departure, he took Gu Nanwan back to Yin Mansion.

The eldest lady knew that Gu Jingcheng must have had a conflict with Yin Heng because of Yin Heng's promotion.

The eldest lady also felt that Yin Heng did not do a good job in this matter, so she did not make any attempt to retain him, including Gu Nanwan.

But a mother will always worry about her children, and the eldest lady was afraid that because of this incident, Yin Heng would have a grudge against Gu Nanwan.

But she had no choice but to pretend she knew nothing.

Gu Nanwan was a simple-minded person. She really didn't find anything wrong. She just thought that her husband had been promoted and there were things at home that needed her to go back and take care of.

Gu Nanwan returned to Yin's Mansion happily.

Everyone understood Gu Nanwan's personality, so no one said much to her, including Yin Heng.

It is undeniable that Yin Heng still has deep feelings for Gu Nanwan. At least he knows how to protect Gu Nanwan's innocent character.

As summer turns to autumn, Li Beichen's biggest concern is the autumn harvest.

The areas around Kyoto City have all switched to high-yield grain varieties. Whether the entire Dongshun Kingdom can grow high-yield grain varieties next year depends on this autumn harvest.

Before the autumn harvest began, Li Beichen took Gu Lanzhi and the little prince to the villages around Kyoto City.

Of course they were traveling incognito, they just wanted to confirm the results and didn't want to make a grand event.

An ordinary carriage, with a few horse-riding guards beside it, the group left Kyoto City in such a low-key manner.

Taohua Village is the closest village to Kyoto City. Before the group entered the village, they could already see the golden ears of wheat from afar, which were bent with weight.

Li Beichen and Gu Lan got off the carriage, walked to the wheat field and started chatting with the villagers.

"Old man, how is the harvest this year?" Li Beichen gently asked the villagers who were sitting by the field to rest.

When it comes to the harvest, the old man's face immediately breaks into a smile and his loud voice starts to rise.

"Of course it's good! Look at the wheat. It was never like this in previous years. Look at how the wheat is being crushed.

Although it will take a few days before the wheat is harvested, it is certain that the harvest will be several times that of previous years, but at least it will be twice as much!

Our Majesty also lowered the grain tax, hahahahaha…

This year, we ordinary people will definitely be able to have enough food to eat, and there may even be some left over!"

"Really? That's good." Li Beichen smiled with relief.

"It's more than just very good, it's very, very good." Several villagers nearby also interrupted.

Li Beichen and his group were all dressed in extraordinary clothes. When the villagers first saw them, they didn't dare to approach them and talk to them.

But when they heard that the man was asking about the harvest, the villagers couldn't stop talking.

What farmers value most is food throughout the year. The high-yield grain varieties distributed by the court this year really gave them hope of having enough food to eat.

So when they were happy, they forgot about their status and started praising each other.

"That's right. If we hadn't had these high-yield grain seeds issued by the court and we were still using the original seeds, how could we have seen such a scene?"

"That's right! My family has little land, but judging from the appearance of the wheat, even if my family has little land, we can still have enough to eat this year."

"Our Majesty is wise and has lowered our grain tax. Now we can exchange the surplus grain for some silver. This is the way out that our Majesty has found for us ordinary people!"

"I heard that these high-yield grain seeds were obtained by our Majesty. Tell me, our Majesty not only found high-yield seeds for us common people, but also reduced our grain tax. Where can we find such a good Majesty?"

"That's it!"

Several villagers began to thank the emperor.

This is how the people are. Once they have enough food to eat, they start to thank Your Majesty for creating such good conditions for them.

People say that farmers are simple and honest, and this simplicity is revealed here.

All they want is to fill their stomachs, and they will be grateful if they can fill their stomachs.

Li Beichen looked at the villagers with smiling faces and he also smiled with relief.

Li Beichen took Gu Lanzhi and ran around the villages in Kyoto City all day long, and the feedback they received was very good.

Li Beichen was in a very good mood that day.

After a few days, the Minister of Agriculture sorted out the yield of each acre of new grain and the yield of various places, and sent them to Li Beichen.

In previous years, the yield of each acre of land in Dongshun Kingdom was only 200 to 300 kilograms of grain, and that was only possible with good weather and favorable harvests.

This year, the average yield per mu of land is over 600 kilograms. Not only are the people very happy, even the Ministry of Agriculture found it incredible when they counted the yield.

When Your Majesty first came up with the new grain seeds, the Minister of Agriculture even questioned Your Majesty.

Now his face is really swollen from being beaten.

Not long after the autumn harvest, Li Beichen received memorials from various places requesting that new grain varieties be planted the following year.

Just as Li Beichen had originally envisioned, as long as the people saw the yield of the new grain varieties, no one would refuse it.

Before, Li Beichen needed to ask officials from all over the country to lobby the people to switch to new grain varieties. The people also symbolically gave the government face and received a small amount of new grain varieties.

But now they are almost regretting that they did not plant all the new crops.

Li Beichen looked at these memorials with a faint smile on his lips.

According to this trend, all the land in Dongshun Kingdom will be replaced with new grain varieties next year. What will the scene be like when the grain is harvested?

Even if Li Beichen lowered the grain tax, the amount of grain collected would still be several times more than the previous high grain tax!

Just thinking about these things, Li Beichen would wake up laughing even in his dreams.

This is just the first step for Emperor Li Beichen to change people's lives. In the future, Dongshun Kingdom will only get better and better, and people's lives will only get better and better.

As soon as Li Beichen's mood improved, Gu Lanzhi's waist began to suffer. These days, Gu Lanzhi was exhausted by Li Beichen's torment.

Although he was very tired, Gu Lanzhi also enjoyed it and felt great. He did not reject Li Beichen, but rather enjoyed it.

Now that the food problem was solved, Li Beichen began to consider the safety of the people.

When Li Beirui was emperor, he never cared about the lives of the people. The high grain taxes made the people breathless, and many bandits emerged.

After growing crops for a year and paying taxes to the government, the food was not enough to feed the family for several months, so going up the mountain and becoming bandits was the only way out they could think of.

Next year, when the people plant new crops, the bandits will inevitably rob the people's food after the autumn harvest.

Li Beichen prepared for a rainy day and started thinking about suppressing the bandits.

As decrees were issued one after another, local governments in Dongshun State began to prepare to suppress the bandits.

When it comes to suppressing bandits, military generals are naturally needed, and some more stubborn bandits still have to rely on the army.

No one knows better than General Gu Lanzhi which military commander is capable and can take on the task of suppressing bandits.

So after a hearty enjoyment, Li Beichen hugged the sweaty Gu Lanzhi and asked for his opinion.
