The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

The ministers looked at each other, what were they looking at?

Without waiting for the ministers to react, Jun Xiao strode down the steps, walked through the ministers, and went straight out of the hall.

Jun Xiao had already walked to the entrance of the hall, and before he heard the ministers' footsteps, he turned around, glanced at the ministers, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Follow me!"

"Oh."

"what?"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go..."

The ministers finally reacted and hurriedly followed.

An hour later, outside the imperial city.

The officials got off the carriage and saw a mature rice field not far away. Their eyes were full of confusion. Why did the emperor bring them here?

Of course, there were also some people with sharp eyes. Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue was one of them. He suspected that his eyes were blurry due to old age and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. However, when he looked carefully, he saw that the rice ears not far away were still hanging there quietly.

Yang Shangshu immediately forgot about the impoliteness in front of the king and the calmness and restraint. He stumbled towards the rice fields, with only the rice ears in his eyes.

"What is Minister Yang doing?"

Everyone was shocked by Minister Yang's actions and looked at him in confusion. Some of them were secretly observing the emperor's expression.

"Aren't you all questioning why I made you a princess?" Jun Xiao seemed not to notice that Minister Yang was abnormal, and said, "The answer is in the field ahead."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the rice fields.

Walking into the rice fields, the ministers' knowledge of crops naturally became apparent.

Ministers who were relatively familiar with crops discovered abnormalities in the rice one after another, while officials who had never been to the fields were at a loss.

"Your Majesty, these rice grains..." Minister Yang held a few golden rice ears in his hands, his eyes reddened, his throat tightened and he stammered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you really not dreaming?"

"What does Lord Yang think?" Jun Xiao asked back.

"Snapped!"

The ministers were shocked, but it turned out that Minister Yang slapped himself hard!

"Really! Hahahaha... This is real! It's not a dream..."

However, Minister Yang seemed to feel no pain and just knelt on the edge of the field, crying and laughing.

Some ministers who knew about crops also walked to the edge of the fields and carefully examined the rice in front of them. However, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, the rice ears in front of them were still hanging heavily.

Not only that, the tillers of each rice seedling were more than twice as many as they had seen before!

When the other ministers saw the expressions of those ministers, they gradually realized the problem.

Although they already had some guesses in their minds, when the rice was harvested and weighed, everyone was still shocked by the yield per mu of rice.

"Eight hundred and twenty pounds!"

"The yield per mu is more than 800 kilograms!"

Is this real rice?

"With such a high output, the day when the people of Daji Dynasty can have enough food to eat is just around the corner!"

"These rice seeds were provided by Princess Yongning, who you all doubted." Jun Xiao glanced at the ministers and said loudly, "At this time, do you still think that my gift is too great?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

One minister took the lead by kneeling and shouting, and the other ministers knelt on the spot.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor!"

There were constant shouts in the fields.

The successful cultivation of high-yield rice showed that their rice seed cultivation was successful, and the big stone that had been hanging in Jun Xiao's heart finally fell.

"Since you are all here today, I will also let you see the yield of sweet potatoes."

"Sweet potatoes?" Minister Yang's emotions had long since calmed down, but his face was still filled with excitement. "Could it be that the rumors are true?"

"What rumors?" a minister replied.

Another minister replied, "It is said that there is a new species in Ning County, which produces more than 5,000 kilograms per mu and can be used as a staple food."

"This is ridiculous! How is it possible in the world that an acre of land can produce 6,000 kilograms of grain?"

"It is true. A minister in the court sent people to the countryside of Ning County to inquire, half-believing and half-doubting. Guess what the result was?" an official said mysteriously.

"What's wrong?"

"The people we sent were regarded as mentally ill by the villagers and were driven out of the village!"

The officials around laughed after hearing this, except for a young official who whispered, "But no one has ever thought that there would be a rice yield of more than 800 kilograms per mu..."

There was a sudden silence.

Soon, they saw with their own eyes large sweet potatoes being dug out of the ground, and they were slapped in the face.

After the shock of rice, Yang Shangshu calmed down a lot. After asking if sweet potatoes could be eaten raw, he picked one up, wiped it with his sleeve, and sat on the ground to eat it...

When the emperor travels with his officials, the commotion is quite big.

When all the officials returned home, the news of rice and sweet potatoes spread across the capital at a terrifying speed, and quickly spread in all directions with the imperial city as the center!

the next morning,

The Gu family's doorman opened the door.

"Wow!" The doorman was frightened by the situation outside. He quickly closed the door and ran inside.

"Oh no! Oh no! Our house is surrounded!"

"what?"

"What happened?"

Hearing the shouting, the Gu family hurried out.

"There are so many people outside the door!" the doorman said again, with a look of shock still on his face.

Gu Zheng walked in front and shouted, "What are you afraid of! Our family has not done anything against the law!"

As he was about to open the door, Gu Chenrui stopped him, "Grandpa, let me do it."

In case the person comes with bad intentions, he can act faster.

The old man of the Gu family did not argue with him. He just stood quietly beside him, protecting the elderly, the weak, women and children behind him.

Gu Chenrui took a deep breath, gently took down the bolt behind the door, opened the door a crack and looked out quietly.

Seeing that the people outside the door were standing at the bottom of the steps, he opened the door a little more so that the other members of the Gu family could also see the scene outside clearly.

When the people outside saw that the Gu family’s door was opened, there was a commotion at the scene. Fortunately, they were all standing at the bottom of the stairs and did not squeeze in.

"Come out! Someone comes out!"

"Where is the princess? Where is the princess?"

"Let me see what the princess looks like!"

Realizing that the people had no ill intentions, Gu Chenrui opened the door, stepped aside, and let his grandfather come forward to take charge of the situation.

Gu Zheng stood on the steps and looked down at the crowd. He asked, "My fellow villagers, why are you gathered in front of my house?"

"We are here to ask to see the princess!"

"Yes! Let's go find the princess!"

"Please let the princess come out so that I can see her!"

When Gu Zheng heard this, he knew that what happened yesterday must have spread. He turned and looked inside the door, seeking Gu Yin's opinion with his eyes.

Gu Yin walked out slowly from the door.

"The princess!"

"Princess Yongning!"

The people's cheers became louder and louder.

Gu Yin felt a strange feeling lingering in her heart. She coughed lightly and asked loudly, "Why did you fellow villagers come to see me?"

A man standing in front shouted back, "Princess, please sell us some rice and sweet potato seeds!"

They all found out that the super high-yield rice and sweet potatoes were grown using the seeds provided by Princess Yongning!

Seeds with such a high yield must be expensive, so they only asked the princess to sell them some. Even if they could only buy a few or two kinds of seeds, they could plant them and keep some for seeds next year, and then their family would have hope of having enough to eat in the future!

It turned out to be for seeds. That was easy to handle. Gu Yin looked around and explained gently, "The rice and sweet potato seeds have all been handed over to the court."

When the people heard this, disappointment immediately appeared on their faces.

"Don't worry, fellow countrymen. Our emperor is not only wise and brave, but also loves his people like his own children. I believe he will not let you down. Maybe the seeds of the court cannot take care of everyone for the time being, but we should believe that as long as time is given, everyone in our Daji Dynasty will be able to grow high-yield crops!"

With Gu Yin's encouragement, the people's faces were filled with anticipation.
