Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 288 Also Growing New Rice Seeds
Rice seeds can be seen before they are planted, but Xiao Ran and Rong Yan still gave them a look to save face.

Xiaoxiao was also very careful when choosing Xibei products. This bag of seeds is all carefully selected grains. At least the emperor compared it with the common rice seeds that Eunuch De asked to find. The difference is still obvious .

The emperor controlled his strength to grab a handful of rice seeds for a closer look, while Yan Lu in the other side had already begun to eloquently explain the hardships of researching new rice seeds, what has been persevering for several years, what is the Yan family who live and eat in the field, and what is the most important thing. With the most careful care of good fertilizers, the meat is almost cut and bloodletted.

At the end, he added: "After learning that I had planted new rice, many people asked to plant it, and many others followed suit, but I wanted to offer it to Your Majesty first, so I didn't agree."

"However, take all precautions, and some of them were stolen by Xiaoxiao's generation. I was afraid that there would be more mistakes, so I immediately sent someone to secretly send the rice seeds to the capital, in order not to scare the snakes, and to avoid any troubles."

The more Xiao Ran listened, the more disgusted his expression became. Rong Yan's expression was calm, but his heart was full of disgust.

If it wasn't for Xiaoxiao's cleverness, the new rice seeds that her family worked so hard to grow would become the property of Yan's family. If she didn't admit it, she would be beaten up, saying that the rice seeds from Ning's family had been stolen from Yan's family.

It is shameless and has no lower limit.

The emperor just wanted to maintain the majesty of the monarch, and he was calm on the surface, but there was already an uproar in his heart.

Based on his understanding of the Yan family, they dare not use this matter to deceive the king, so the rice seed production must be true. Since it is true, then he has to change the way he handles Yan Law.

"Then what happened to the ledger presented by the young man from the Han family?"

Yan Lu had already prepared: "Your Majesty, I have been a loyal servant for many years. I never thought that he would be greedy, and I would hand over most of the family accounts to him. These years, I have cared too much about the rice seeds, but I didn't I thought he would have the audacity to do such an unreasonable thing..."

Emperor: "In this case, is it justifiable?"

Yan Lu immediately hit the snake with the stick: "Your Majesty is sympathetic, and I am terrified!"

After he flattered him, just when the emperor was about to give him a step down, Rong Yan ignored Xiao Ran's obstruction, but took a step forward and said, "I want to report to my father, it's a coincidence that my son also has a letter here." An excerpt of the new rice species listed above."

He took out the notebook written by Shen County Magistrate from his jacket and presented it to the emperor.

With the impassioned and tearful explanation by Yan Lu just now as the foundation, the emperor glanced at ten lines, frowned after reading it, and glanced at the signature: "Shen Congyun? The magistrate of Xijiang County?"

Rong Yan said: "Exactly, please tell my father that before returning to the capital, my son happened to meet the county magistrate Shen and learned that the new rice plant had a good harvest, so I helped him bring the notebook back."

The emperor's eyes turned back and forth between Yan Lu and Rong Yan: "Oh, so Shen Congyun is also planting new rice seeds? My servants, they are doing a good job of keeping secrets."

Rong Yan was neither humble nor overbearing: "My father, the reason Shen County Magistrate didn't report early was that he didn't know whether the yield of this rice seed was true at first. So I didn’t even go out of my way to look for a piece of fertile land, but only tried it with the middle field that happened to be empty.”

This saying is new, the emperor asked: "He doesn't know the rice he grows himself?"

Only then did Rong Yan explain: "Sir Shen dare not take credit, the rice seeds were actually given by others."

The story of Mr. Yuan sending rice seeds was slightly changed by them, changing the story of sending rice seeds to Xiaoxiao as sending to magistrate Shen who was about to go home after going down to the Yamen. The old man was either joking, or he was old and confused.

He also didn't expect that when it was harvest time this year, he would weigh it—good guy, Zhongtian's yield per mu should be at least [-] catties!

"But County Magistrate Shen wasn't sure whether it was only this crop of rice that had a high yield, or whether it would continue to be like this after it was planted, so he kept most of it for trial planting, and only asked Erchen to bring a small bag to Beijing to present to the emperor."

After that, he took out a small cloth bag.

Yan Lv, who thought he had the chance to win, suddenly shrank his pupils and looked at Rong Yan in shock.

Then I heard him say: "Oh, by the way, there was an episode during this period. I heard that some bandits tried to rob the new rice seeds. Fortunately, the county magistrate Shen took precautions and used ordinary rice seeds to fool them. All the real new rice seeds It is intact, and I think the seedlings should have been raised by this time, ready to sow autumn rice."

Yan Lv only felt that he had lost all feeling in his sore knee, and his mind was full of——It's over!
What a character Xia Di is, he can hear the mystery in just a few words, not to mention that Yan Lv is now the kind of virtue that has lost his soul.

Xiao Ran will not be absent from such things as falling into a well and beating a dog in the water: "Master Yan looks very surprised? In fact, we are too. I didn't expect that Master Yan also planted new rice seeds. I didn't hear you on the way. When you are in the palace, we will bring it in for you by the way, and save you from kneeling for so long."

"Oh, by the way, since they are all new rice seeds, why not plant them together?"

Where did Yan Lu dare, he could only lower his head deeply to avoid the emperor's gaze.

No matter how cunning and cunning he was, he couldn't think of a way to save himself when he encountered such a sudden reversal. In just a short moment, the ground was already wet with cold sweat.

Seeing this scene, what else does the emperor not understand?Putting down Yan Lu's rice seeds, he asked coldly, "What do you think Yan Qing wants?"

Yan Lu stammered: "Chen, minister, minister..."

The emperor snorted: "Why, Master Yan really wants to make a decision for me?"

Yan Lu was stunned, and only heard a majestic and indifferent voice: "Press into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and wait for punishment."

When being escorted past Rong Yan and Xiao Ran by the guards, Yan Lu asked tremblingly, "Are you deliberately making me think I got new rice seeds?"

Rong Yan cupped his hands: "If that wasn't the case, how could Mr. Yan follow us into Beijing obediently without causing trouble?"

Yan Lu's eyes were slack, and he opened his mouth to speak several times, but was forcibly dragged away by the guards.

The emperor looked at the small bag of rice seeds over and over again, and then suddenly wanted to plant them in the palace. He had to go to the Palace of Qinzheng every day to work, so he simply pulled out the flowers and plants in the yard to make room for the rice seeds.

Such a big movement, the empress can't pretend to be ignorant, Yan Lv steals a chicken without losing money, and is taken into custody by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but has not yet been convicted, the empress hurried to Qinzheng Hall, and saw the emperor in his prime taking off his clothes. He took off his dragon robe and was digging the ground himself.

She was quite frightened, and just as she was about to step forward, she saw De Gonggong, who was serving beside the emperor, lowering her voice and asking: "Your Majesty is in high spirits, do you need a servant to tell your empress?"

Speaking of this, how dare the queen?
In the scorching sun, she just stood in the open space, waited until the emperor finished his work, and asked in surprise: "Huh? When did the queen come? Tokuko, you didn't tell me what happened."

The two of them were so close, they would have seen her long ago, the queen knew it, wiped off her sweat and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame me, it's the concubine who sees His Majesty's involvement, and doesn't want to disturb His Majesty."

She knew very well that the emperor must have seen through the plan of the Yan family, and the strict law would not only not escape the crime, but would also implicate the family.

"Come here, let the imperial chef deliver a bowl of mung bean soup. Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body."

The emperor took advantage of the situation and returned to the Hall of Qinzheng: "It's such a hot day, the queen came to see me, what's the matter?"

The queen's thoughts changed sharply, and she raised a big smile: "The concubine is here to congratulate His Majesty. I heard that iron ore was discovered in Liangcheng..."
