The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

In the Golden Throne Hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jing Zhao looked at the civil and military officials below the hall with a slight smile on his face. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood today.

Yesterday, he personally led civil and military officials to the fields to participate in the harvesting of new crops.

The output of the new grain was astonishing, far exceeding his expectations, and made everyone in the court excited.

Shortly after Lord Pan arrived in Taihe County, Ganzhou after the New Year, he sent someone on horseback to the capital to deliver several baskets of sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as sweet potato seedlings.

And reported on the cultivation and planting methods of new grain crops.

After the things were delivered to the palace, Emperor Jing Zhao immediately summoned the Shaoqing of the Sinong Temple and asked him to arrange for the planting of these seedlings immediately to see the results.

Since it was related to the abundance of Dasheng's granary and the people's food and clothing, the Shaoqing of the Ministry of Agriculture naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately organized agricultural officials to select several of the most fertile lands in the suburbs of Beijing, and summoned experienced farmers to open up experimental fields to plant new grain crops.

During the past six months, Mr. Pan has been staying in Changhe Village, in charge of the experimental fields there.

The Shaoqing of the Sinong Temple, together with other agricultural officials, was conducting trial planting of new crops in the capital.

Not long after, Director Li personally returned to the capital again to report to the emperor on the new grain crop planting experiment in Changhe Village.

He also brought the items obtained from the cave and the book and handed them over to the emperor.

Emperor Jing Zhao was overjoyed and immediately ordered the establishment of a special research project and ordered the Ministry of Works to explore the items sent back by Li Shuling.

He also secretly gathered skilled craftsmen and folk agricultural experts to study the secrets of the ancient book he brought back.

Afterwards, large-scale experiments were carried out to increase the yield of rice and wheat, two major staple crops.

The good news is that the cultivation of these two staple crops has also achieved initial success.

The output has increased by one third compared to before.

But compared with what Lord Pan said in the memorial he submitted not long ago, this point is a bit lacking.

Mr. Pan said in the letter that it is hoped that better quality staple food seeds can be cultivated.

The yield from the rice and wheat experimental fields planted in Changhe Village has doubled.

Emperor Jing Zhao was very pleased. He was somewhat dissatisfied when Qin Ruo was given the title of Princess because of Si Heng's interference.

As the good news spread to the capital one after another, the Qin family had developed new agricultural tools to improve productivity, and Emperor Jing Zhao's initial dissatisfaction had long since disappeared.

Those officials who had strongly opposed the decision to confer the title of princess on a commoner girl as a princess was too hasty, have completely lost their voices.

The successful planting of new grain made Emperor Jing Zhao recognize Qin Ruo's contribution for the first time, which far exceeded his expectations.

She was named a princess at the beginning because he was angry with Si Heng, so he deliberately suppressed the title and gave her only an empty name. Now he has other ideas.

"My dear ministers, you have seen the harvest scene yesterday. This is God's blessing on Dasheng! I want this new grain crop to be distributed throughout Dasheng within five years." Emperor Jingzhao proudly announced this decision to his officials at the morning court.

There was a sudden burst of praise from below the hall, with many people praising Emperor Jing Zhao for his wisdom.

"Ning An, you are really my Dasheng's lucky star. I remember that Ning An has not held a canonization ceremony yet, right? Let's schedule it after my birthday. The Ministry of Rites will immediately start preparations and summon Princess Ning An to the capital to participate in the canonization ceremony. No, I remember that the first place in the college examination this year is Princess Ning An's younger brother. Let's go to the capital together with the Qin family."

As soon as Emperor Jing Zhao finished speaking, a whispering sound was heard from below.

When Qin Ruo was first named princess, it caused quite a stir.

Most officials thought it was too hasty to confer the title of princess on a country girl.

Now that the new crops have been successfully grown, there is nothing much to say.

However, from what the emperor just said, a special ceremony of enthronement will be held for her.

Apart from the eldest daughter of General Zhenyuan, the other daughters of several ministers who were granted the title of princess were only rewarded with some gold, silver and jewelry, without any special ceremony for conferring the title.

The emperor just mentioned specifically ordering the Qin family to come to Beijing as a group. What does this mean?

One is a country girl, and the other is a student who just passed the imperial examination. It's a bit too much to praise them.

"Your Majesty, obeys your order. We will do our best to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of Princess Ning'an and welcome the Qin family to Beijing to watch the ceremony." Lord Li, the Minister of Rites, stepped out first and bowed to receive the order.

This decision is obviously the result of the emperor's careful consideration. All I have to do is do my best to implement it.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. I think it may be inappropriate to give such an honor to Princess Ning'an. Princess Ning'an was born in the countryside. Although she has made contributions in discovering the new crops, as a citizen of Dasheng, this is her responsibility. She is really not worthy of such a grand enthronement and celebration. I am afraid that it will cause discussions in the court and the public, which will be detrimental to Your Majesty's reputation as a wise man." A minister slowly stepped out with a tablet in his hand. This person was the Imperial Censor in the court.

Not long ago, the emperor ordered the family's eldest daughter to marry the sixth prince.

Before the emperor uttered a word, several ministers came out and echoed the words of the chief censor.

They all agreed that Qin Ruo did not deserve such an honor and that this move was too ostentatious and would damage the royal family's reputation and His Majesty's wisdom.

Shen Junxing, who had been silent in the crowd, suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I dare to make a suggestion. Although Princess Ning'an made great contributions in discovering the new grain, she was born in a humble family. It may be against the rules and regulations of our dynasty for her to receive such an honor suddenly. Your Majesty has already conferred her the title of Princess. This kind of grace is enough to show your Majesty's attention and praise for the contributions of the people. Now that the ceremony of conferring the title is being held again and the Qin family is ordered to move to Beijing, I am afraid that she will become arrogant..."

"Your Excellency is wrong. During the years when Dasheng was recuperating, foreign tribes relied on their sufficient military and food resources to covet our dynasty. There were occasional frictions on the border. Although people's livelihood has gradually recovered, the foundation is still not stable. Princess Ning'an's move not only relieved the pressure on the court's granary, but also laid an important foundation for our dynasty to resist foreign aggression and consolidate the foundation of the country in the future."

"How can you deny Princess Ning'an's contribution just because of her background? Throughout history, heroes are not judged by their origins. Princess Ning'an, a country girl, found new crops that changed the fate of our country. How can her background cover up her achievements?"

A general with a murderous aura stood up, snorted coldly, interrupted Shen Junxing's words, and continued

"You civil officials are trying to erase the achievements of Princess Ning'an with just a few words. It's ridiculous! In the past, when Dasheng was fighting, it was in trouble because of the lack of food and grass. The soldiers on the battlefield were hungry and cold. Have you forgotten all this? What's wrong with her origin? Princess Ning'an single-handedly found new food for Dasheng. This is an unprecedented achievement. You still claim to be well-read, but you actually obstruct Princess Ning'an in every way just because of her humble origin. It's ridiculous!"

Emperor Jing Zhao said nothing. He looked at the ministers who were divided into two factions and arguing fiercely in the hall, with a storm in his eyes.
