Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Emperor Xuan slept for three days and three nights, and when he woke up he felt his bones were loose.

It had been a long time since he felt so comfortable. Emperor Xuan stretched himself and shouted, "Good luck!"

The next moment, Eunuch Liu came running in with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake. If you don't wake up again, this old slave..."

"and many more!"

Emperor Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Eunuch Liu from showing his loyalty.

After hearing Eunuch Liu's crying, Emperor Xuan suddenly remembered that he was not asleep but fainted. What was the situation now?

Seeing Emperor Xuan's expression, Eunuch Liu knew what Emperor Xuan wanted to know.

"Lord Xu handed over all the seeds he donated to the Ministry of Revenue, along with various planting techniques. We can start planting in the spring of next year."

"According to officials from the Ministry of Revenue, if we work hard to cultivate seeds, these seeds can be planted throughout the country in three years."

At this point, Eunuch Liu knelt down and bowed deeply to Emperor Xuan.

"I, your majesty, congratulate you. From now on, there will be no more famine in Daqian. Your majesty will be famous for generations to come!"

“Hahahaha…Okay!”

Emperor Xuan stood up from the bed and laughed loudly towards the sky.

Now that there were no outsiders around, he could finally vent his joy to his heart's content.

After laughing, there was another series of instructions.

"Please keep those seeds for me, as well as the potato and sweet potato seeds. Keep them all for me. Three years from now, there will be no more famine in my Great Qian."

"The Royal Guards also came to report that Xu Jinyu's existence has attracted the attention of those two countries. Tell the Royal Guards to protect Xu Jinyu's safety."

"Then·····"

Then you can attack the other two countries.

At this moment, Emperor Xuan's ambition was clearly exposed.

Expanding territory is what every emperor wants to do.

This continent has been divided for nearly a thousand years. Whether it is Daqian, Dayue, or Daqi, every emperor has dreamed of unification.

If they were unified, they would be the greatest emperor of all time. If they were not unified, they would be just princes in the history books of later generations, not emperors.

He proclaimed himself emperor just to save face and to please himself.

It was not that Emperor Xuan did not want to do it before, but the conditions did not allow it. The national treasury was enough to run horses, and he felt that his death was too slow if he wanted to fight a war.

"Your Majesty, there is..."

Eunuch Liu glanced at Emperor Xuan and spoke carefully.

"What else?"

"And Lord Xu, she..."

When Emperor Xuan heard Xu Jinyu's name, his heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition spread in his heart.

"What did Xu Jinyu do again?"

Eunuch Liu glanced at Emperor Xuan and answered carefully,

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu has been howling these past few days. All the officials in the capital know that you cannot stand stimulation and you faint at the slightest thing."

"Officials who are not qualified to attend the court are all talking about your poor health, but whether it is good or not, all officials who attend the court know it, so it won't cause any big impact."

Eunuch Liu couldn't help but make up for Xu Jinyu here.

"However, the Imperial Guards have figured out the scope of Lord Xu's inner thoughts in the past few days. Only officials can hear them, but some petty officials in the government offices cannot."

"Is that all?" Emperor Xuan raised his eyebrows.

He didn't believe that Xu Jinyu had only caused such a small incident.

It wouldn't be Xu Jinyu who would cause such a small trouble.

"The point is that after donating so many seeds, you fainted without giving me any reward."

Eunuch Liu closed his eyes and told everything.

"Yeah!"

This tastes right, like something Xu Jinyu would do.

But this time Emperor Xuan couldn't get angry.

Because of the seeds donated by Xu Jinyu, the people of Daqian can have enough food to eat and clothes to wear.

With such merits, even if Xu Jinyu was riding on Emperor Xuan's neck and howling like a ghost, Emperor Xuan would still praise him for singing well.

Isn't it just a reward? Give it to me right away?

Guaranteed to satisfy Xu Jinyu.

"Auspicious, the successor will draft the decree"

·······

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Today, there is a lady named Xu Jinyu, who has made great contributions by donating grain and ensuring that our Daqian will never have to worry about famine. She is hereby conferred the title of Princess Zhenguo, with the title of Tai'an, and the fief of Xizhou, with an area of ​​one state for her support.

A reward of 30,000 taels of gold, five imperial manors, two mansions, ten shops, ...

"

Xu Jinyu was stunned by the long list of rewards.

Surprised thoughts burst out in a series.

[Why is the emperor suddenly so generous? Are the effects of those seeds so great? ]

[The emperor is suddenly very generous. I am still a little uncomfortable with this. I hope there won't be any pitfalls waiting for me!]

【No way! No way! 】

Ge Qianfang, who was passing by the gate of Zhengyang County Lady's Mansion, heard Xu Jinyu's voice and couldn't help but speak up for His Majesty.

Your Majesty is generally very generous. It's not that your mouth really stinks. Your Majesty was not used to it at first, but now you are used to it.

Isn’t the reward here?

We officials are used to it. It’s fine for those who are honest, but some corrupt officials go to court with their heads on the line every day.

He wrote a suicide note before going to court every day, fearing that he would never come back.

Is it irritating?

A good official is treated as a battle royale, and you can stab him if he is not careful.

Look at the lessons learned.

Ge Qianfang also received news that some officials with questionable backgrounds were planning to resign and return home during the days when Xu Jinyu was not attending court.

Run as fast as you can.

You ask why you didn't resign earlier.

Isn't that nonsense? When Xu Jinyu went to court, whose name could she hear? It would be able to escape Xu Jinyu's curiosity.

Out of curiosity, I'll take a look at his magic weapon and then I'll know everything.

Moreover, the Imperial Guards have also made preparations to thoroughly investigate anyone who resigns during this period.

In the county lord's mansion,

As soon as Eunuch Liu left, Xu Jinyu ordered someone to bring the 30,000 taels of gold into his house and quickly bought the technology from the Golden Finger.

The first is toilet paper, the second is movable type printing, the third is tofu, the fourth is the manufacturing technology of MSG, the fifth is the technology of drying salt, the sixth is the technology of making cakes, the seventh is the textile machine, the eighth is the technology of castrating pigs...

This time, Xu Jinyu exchanged all the technologies that will change people's livelihood.

She wanted to open a shop selling technology so that the common people in Daqian could earn money with small technologies. Of course, technologies with a greater impact, such as movable type printing and salt drying, could not be sold to common people.

Even if we give it to them, they may not be able to keep it.

"Madame He, go get the two stewards from the County Lord's Mansion back!"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."
