Farming in space: Nongmen Fufei is beautiful and sassy

Chapter 216 My Father Serves the Country and the People
The two swayed and ate together, and then went to the study holding hands. Not long after, Lu Gang came in a hurry and delivered a secret order from His Majesty the Emperor.

Ye Zhen wanted to hide, but Lu Chengze signaled her not to leave: "Don't leave, this secret decree is related to you."

Ye Zhen: "???" Since when did I have anything to do with His Majesty the Emperor?

Lu Chengze handed over the secret decree, Ye Zhen saw it and realized that it was really related to her.

There are two things mentioned in the secret decree: the first thing, Ye Zhen and Lu Chengze have contributed to pacifying Longyou, Xiliang, and Hu tribes, and rewarded Ye Zhen with two villages, one hundred acres of fertile land, and ten hectares of forest.Lu Chengze got ten catties of pepper, ten bolts of silk, and ten dendrobium of pearls.

Lu Chengze explained: the last time he went to Longyou, Xiliang and the desert, His Majesty the Emperor issued a secret decree. Most of Lu Chengze's actions were requested by the Emperor. Of course, the secret treasure of Princess Loulan belonged to Ye Zhen. Except.

With the hard work and support of Lu Chengze and Ye Zhen, these days Tang Yi took Heisha Pirates to become a businessman, and even managed an oasis into a transfer station. All merchants can trade in the oasis deep in the desert, and the black sand Misappropriating unparalleled familiarity and mastery of the desert terrain to keep the merchants' interests safe from any third party.

On the one hand, the merchants traded what they had in the oasis directly to Xiliang, Longyou, and Hu tribes and merchants, but Tang Yi drew a certain amount of protection fees and taxes from it, and finally some useful and lucrative things in the mainland , Tang Yi directly bought it there, and then sold it to Ye Zhen and Lu Chengze's people.

This is equivalent to opening up the trade channel of the three parties, but the outside world does not know that this was achieved secretly by Lu Chengze.

Who would want to rob with their head on their waistband when they can buy rice, noodles and food through normal channels to ensure basic food and clothing?
So in the next period of time, the grassland tribes did not invade the border of the Dayue Dynasty.

As for Xiliang, which is a grass on the wall, because there is no instigation of the survivors of Loulan and the secret cooperation of the Hu tribe, it can only honestly accept the annual offerings and bow its head as a vassal.

I didn't expect that just opening up the business route would have such a big impact, Ye Zhen was also very happy.

A trip to the northwest has allowed the border to settle down, which is simply a credit to heaven!
Lu Chengze pointed to the rewards in the secret decree: "These are all for you."

Ye Zhen: "Isn't it obvious that you still have your share?"

Lu Chengze: "What do I need pepper, pearls, and silk for?" I'm not short of money.

Ye Zhen: "...So, His Majesty said that he rewarded two people, but in fact they were all for me?"

Lu Chengze nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Zhen suddenly understood, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up for His Majesty's delicate thoughts: His Majesty knew that Lu Chengze valued her, so the reward seemed to be two, but in fact, both of them could be given to herself.

However, Lu Chengze's actual power and position have not been adjusted in any way.

With pepper silk and pearls, it's a great achievement to send a fixed side, His Majesty is a real dog!
"Your Majesty is so stingy!" Ye Zhen curled her lips, arguing for Lu Chengze.

Lu Chengze didn't care: "I'm only 17 years old this year. If I had been crowned king and prime minister early on, I would have no promotion or reward in the future. This is not a good thing. It's good as it is now. "The emperor is relieved, and the daughter-in-law is also happy.

When Ye Zhen thought about it, she also understood a little bit, and couldn't help but praise Lu Chengze's transparency in her heart: This person lived for the second time, and he really became a genius!Think clearly about everything!
The first batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes after the new year have been planted. The craftsmen sent by the imperial court combined the harvest of last autumn to sort out the data one after another, and reported it to His Majesty the emperor in secret reports. Seeing this year's planting area and expected harvest At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was still taken aback. He summoned Lu Dongguang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and threw the secret booklet to Lu Dongguang: "Take a look, what do you think after reading it?"

When Lu Dongguang saw the contents of the secret booklet, he was shocked: "This...how is this possible?!"

These lucky melons and longevity fruits usually only need a lot of fertilization, and it is not easy to attract insects. The yield of one acre of land can reach [-] catties!According to the secret report, these two things can be planted twice a year, and it is said that in the south they can even be planted three times a year!Even in the north, where the winter is long and icy and snowy, one crop can be planted a year!
This kind of data may not make much sense to those aristocrats who don't care about farming and mulberry, but for Lu Dongguang who has taken over the farming and mulberry affairs of the Ministry of Industry, this is enough news to shock him!
If the cultivation of lucky melon and longevity fruit is popularized in all parts of the north and south, how can ordinary people starve to death on a large scale?

This is... a great thing for the present and the future!

Lu Dongguang didn't take care of the Ministry of Industry before, and he was just transferred to the Ministry of Industry. He knew about the fact that these craftsmen were sent to Zhaoping County, but he didn't know what they were going to do. Because it was His Majesty's secret decree, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to speak out. .

His Majesty the Emperor was very happy that the news shocked his subordinates, and said cheerfully: "How is it impossible? If it is not possible at all, how could I agree with your father to retire at this time and go to that corner to be a teacher?" Do you really think I'm only there for my son?
Lu Dongguang was the eldest son of Lu Laozaifu. Hearing the news at this moment, and looking at the secret book again, he suddenly felt respect for his old father.

When the prime minister resigned from office, he was willing to stand up to everyone's doubts, without defending himself, without flinching, and when no one knew what he was doing, he went to a small southwest border town to be the dean of some academy.

No wonder my father was able to be an official to the prime minister. The so-called prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, this is really not a lie.

There is a prime minister watching there every day. It is impossible for these people to cheat on the data. That is to say, [-]% of the planting data of lucky melons and longevity fruits are true!

Lu Dongguang's voice trembled, and he knelt down and said, "The Holy One governs the country in the right way, and the heavens have blessed us. My people in Da Viet can finally have enough to eat!"

This flattery made His Majesty feel happy and very satisfied, nodded and said: "The blessing melons and longevity fruits have been planted at this moment, and it will take more than three months to harvest, and your father has been there for a long time , should you go and see?"

Lu Dongguang kowtowed again and again: "It's a duty for me to be filial, and I need your majesty to remind me that it's because I don't think carefully that I will die!"

His Majesty waved Lu Dongguang to leave with satisfaction, and reminded him: "The planting area of ​​Fugua Shouguo is still small, so don't talk about it for now."
