After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 92 Rice Enters the Palace

The head of the Qian family was eventually sentenced to beating and paraded through the streets, and was removed from his position as patriarch by the county magistrate for his lack of moral character.

The name Shen Tang is completely famous in Qingshan Town.

In just half a year, he went to court three times.

The first time he went to court, he severed ties with his family. The second time he went to court, his second uncle's family was sent to do hard labor and expelled from the clan. The third time he went to court, he actually overthrew the patriarch of another clan.

But it also let many people know that Shen Tang is now protected by the county magistrate.

Look, they even sent yamen runners to patrol. What a great honor this is.

However, what's so special about the rice fields in Shenjia Village? The government even sent people to protect them.

Some people were curious and went to inquire. In just a few days, the news that Shen Tang's rice could yield 1,000 kilograms per mu had spread throughout Qingshan Town and even reached the provincial capital.

-

In the capital, at the residence of the Minister of Revenue.

After reading the letter, Zhao Qingyun's face turned red.

"Where's the master? Go find him and tell him something terrible has happened at home!"

After saying that, he looked at the two people sent by County Magistrate Lin.

"You two have traveled all the way here, but this thing is important. Please wait a little longer and rest for a while after my father comes back."

"Master Zhao, you are too polite. Our master also reminded us when we came here that we must see Master Zhao first."

Zhao Qingyun nodded and shifted his gaze to the box in the two men's arms.

If it is true as the letter says, then the era of prosperity of the Great Qi will be here!

Not long after, Minister Zhao returned home.

"What's going on? I'm fishing with the Duke! Why are you calling me back in such a hurry?"

Zhao Qingyun handed the letter to Minister Zhao.

Seeing Minister Zhao's expression change from frowning to excitement, and now even a bit of twisted excitement, it only took a short moment.

“This is the baby!!!”

"Come here, change clothes, no! No need to change clothes, go now! You two come with me!"

Minister Zhao looked at the things in the two men's hands and didn't dare to move at all.

If this is really such a treasure, it should be opened by the Supreme One himself!

Minister Zhao hurried to the palace with the two of them.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jing looked at Minister Zhao kneeling on the ground with a frown.

He finally had a day off today, but just as he sat down in the imperial garden, he was forced to return to the imperial study.

"You better be up to something big!"

Emperor Jing was sitting at the top, looking at Minister Zhao kneeling on the ground, feeling very angry.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! May God bless our Great Qi!"

"What good news is this?"

"Your Majesty, in Shenjia Village, Qingshan Town, Lin'an Prefecture, farmers have grown a new kind of rice."

Rice, what's so strange about it?

“The yield per acre is a thousand catties!”

"Yield per mu, huh? Yield per mu is a thousand catties!"

Emperor Jing stood up directly from the dragon throne!

"Minister Zhao! Do you know what the crime of deceiving His Majesty is?"

Emperor Jing instantly exerted the pressure of a superior.

"Your Majesty, I dare not do that. The Qingshan County Magistrate specially sent someone to pull up a rice plant and deliver it to the capital day and night. The two people who delivered the rice are now outside the palace gates!"

"Hurry up!"

Emperor Jing only felt his heart beating faster.

The yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms. Considering that he is the emperor and has seen everything in the world, this is the first time he has heard of it.

Da Qi held sacrifices every spring. When he was the crown prince, he already knew that Da Qi's yield per mu was only about 300 kilograms, and this 300 kilograms was only achieved under good weather and harvest conditions.

Yield of 1,000 catties per mu! I dared not even think about it, but looking at Minister Zhao kneeling on the ground, he didn't look like he was lying at all.

"The Qingshan County Magistrate also sent a letter to my son."

"Don't present it yet."

The emperor's personal eunuch came down and took the letter away. Minister Zhao spoke again:

"A county magistrate doesn't have the right to appear before the emperor directly. If there's anything important going on, it has to go through layers of procedures. Fortunately, my son and the Qingshan County magistrate are of the same age, and they're close friends. So, he passed the message to my son. That's how I was able to learn of this great news."

After reading the letter and listening to what Minister Zhao said, Emperor Jing nodded.

"I learned of this matter so quickly that I didn't even have time to change my clothes. I just wanted to inform Your Majesty of this matter as soon as possible. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Hey, my dear minister, you care about the country, what crime have you committed?"

As soon as the two finished speaking, they heard the eunuch say that the person had been brought in.

Immediately, a long box was placed on the table in the imperial study. The surface of the box was rough and simple, with some stains and mud on the bottom.

Emperor Jingdi seemed not to see it. The eunuch wanted to reach out and open it for him, but was stopped by Emperor Jingdi.

"Have you seen it?"

"No, I am not in time. Your Majesty, please open this treasure!"

When Emperor Jing heard this, he also breathed quickly. Minister Zhao actually sent it in without opening it.

There were mud spots on the bright yellow robe and stains on the emperor's hands, but there was no anger on Emperor Jing's face. Instead, he became more cautious.

Open the box and lift the soft cloth.

Emperor Jing stood in front of the rice plant, speechless for a long time.

A pair of hands hung tremblingly above the rice, not daring to touch it.

Due to proper protection, the rice is in extremely good condition, with only a few leaves wilting, while the rice ears are almost intact.

"God bless my Daqi, God bless my Daqi!"

Emperor Jing is thirty years old this year and has been on the throne for only a few years, but he has ruthless methods and holds all the imperial power in his hands.

Although the internal situation of Da Qi was stable, there was restlessness on the border.

With this rice, the prosperous period of Da Qi is about to come!

He will also be remembered in history because of this, how can he not be excited? After all, God still protects Da Qi and protects him.

"My dear, come and take a look. If it weren't for your little boy, I would have missed such a treasure."

Minister Zhao stepped forward quickly and was struck by lightning when he saw the rice ears.

He was even more out of control than Emperor Jing. He lay directly on the desk and stared at the huge rice ear with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty! I am truly shocked. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

How could Emperor Jing blame him? His hands hidden in his sleeves were still shaking slightly!

"Come here, summon the ministers above the third rank!"

Emperor Jing shouted loudly, his joy unconcealed in his voice.

After the decree was announced, Emperor Jing paced in the imperial study, with many thoughts flashing through his mind.

Half an hour later, the imperial study was filled with court officials.

Everyone is like, you look at me, I look at you.

Isn't today a day off?

Why did the emperor suddenly summon ministers, especially those of the third rank and above? Did something big happen in the court?

"I wonder if the Emperor has summoned us all of a sudden for some important matter?"

The one who asked the question was Lord Gu, who was also the emperor's teacher and the current Grand Tutor.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, the emperor was already thinking about how everyone would behave when they saw the rice ears.

"Taifu, I won't say much about this matter. Just come up and take a look."

As he said this, he asked the eunuch to lead the ministers forward in an orderly manner.

"this!"

"This is!"

The first one to come up was the Taifu. When he saw the rice on the table, his gray beard began to tremble.

Everyone became even more curious.

What on earth did this Grand Tutor see that made him so excited?
