Chapter 351
Eunuch De knew that it was time for him to pretend to be stupid again, so he lowered his head again, as if he was just an ordinary old man with dumb eyes and dumb ears who didn't hear anything.

The emperor was in a bad mood now. He knew that reading the minister's papers would only make him more angry, so he changed his dragon robe and asked someone to call Shen Congyun who was still in the capital.

County magistrate Shen couldn't figure out the emperor's real intention to keep him. In just a few months, his beard was out of order. When he heard the summons from the palace, he let out a sigh. His father Shen Xiang slapped him when he saw this appearance: "Dragging!" Who are you showing your head to? Your Majesty has his own intentions for keeping you, so don't make wild guesses there."

County magistrate Shen continued to slump his head: "Father, can I transfer Furong to the capital? That girl Xiaoxiao has been away for more than three months, the cooks in the palace are really not good, they are like that every day ” After eating it for two days, he felt that the taste was okay, but after eating it for ten or so days, he got tired of the taste, and after that, he basically just swallowed it raw with his eyes closed.

How did His Majesty survive all these years?

Shen Xiang: ...you can't get hungry after a long time?Ouch, this bastard son, throw it away!

Thinking of having to accompany the emperor to eat the same dishes from ancient times, Shen Congyun felt sour and bitter in his mouth, and felt very uncomfortable. He felt something wrong when he pushed his tongue twice, and looked at the bronze mirror, oh my god, it was blistering up!

The housekeeper said that this kind of pickle needs to be soaked with salt, and it will hurt a little at first, but after the headache goes away, it will disappear. Shen Congyun thought about it, and ran to the house to take out the small jar of pickles he treasured.

Shen Xiang stared: "Are you taking this thing to the palace?"

Shen Congyun rubbed his face: "It's the same as salt, but it still serves food anyway, and it was given to me by girl Xiaoxiao!"

Shen Xiang's face suddenly changed: "You're really good at hiding!"

Shen Congyun almost ran out of the house and rushed to the palace.

When he came, the emperor was already wearing a straw hat, and he was sitting next to a piece of gold, which seemed to be the case.

No emperor in the past dynasties turned the imperial garden into a rice field. I have to say that our Majesty is quite creative, especially the rice ears are full and golden under the sun, which is very pleasing.

Shen Congyun also put on a smile unconsciously: "Your Majesty, our rice is so well grown."

The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, feeling that the annoying and bad things had drifted away a bit, he proudly lifted his straw hat: "Of course."

This tone, as if you really planted it with your own hands, such a large piece of land, isn't it all served by me and the palace people?

Shen Congyun swallowed his slander, took off his official uniform honestly, and put a sweat towel around his neck: "Your Majesty, look at this ear, it's time to release the water. Qin Tianjian has calculated that within the next ten days, everything will be released." It won't rain, let the water go, wait another three to five days, and you will see the fruits of our success."

The emperor looked at the ears of rice with satisfaction and pride. He had already asked someone to count them. The harvest in this field was only a lot more than what Shen Congyun reported. It can be seen that the new rice species is not a fiction.

Watching Shen Congjun digging the canal, the emperor took the teacup from Eunuch De: "We don't have any rain here, so I don't know how the border is."

Shen Congyun has good ears, kept his hands on the ground, and answered without delay: "It's difficult over there. It is possible to not see a drop of rain for half a year, but in December, the wind and snow are mixed with ice and snow. I don't know which one is more pleasant." It's tough."

The emperor continued to ask: "Shen Qing thinks that the frontier is so barren and difficult, where neither food nor livestock can be grown, isn't it a useless place?"

Shen Congyun paused: "But the people of Daxia live there, and where the people live, it will not be a useless place."

The emperor tapped the table with his fingertips: "Shen Qing is right, let's go, leave the rest to the palace servants, Shen Qing should be hungry." Finally, there is someone who understands.

Looking at the dishes that seemed to last for ten years, Shen Congyun happily opened the kimchi jar—fortunately, he had already prepared!Then when he raised his head, he met the emperor's curious gaze: "What is this?"

Shen Congyun hid the kimchi jar behind his back: "It's a medicinal material. I have bubbles in my mouth. This is for salt."

The emperor put down his chopsticks and reached out to him: "Coincidentally, I do too."

Shen Congyun wanted to resist, but he didn't dare. He cried and watched the emperor leave him a chopstick and take away the whole kimchi jar. He hated his unconscious self in the morning.

What pickles to bring!it's good now!Gone!All gone!This is the last can!

The emperor took a sip and thought it tasted good: "Where did you buy it?"

Shen Congyun smirked bitterly: "Xiaoxiao, it was made by the child that General Xiao's family just found."

The emperor was a little surprised, but then understood: "Yes, she is Gu Chang'an's daughter after all."

What to do, he wanted to abduct him even more.

"It has been nearly a hundred days since the child followed Xiao Qing back to Fuyuan Village, right?"

Shen Congyun was still mourning the passing of Kimchi, and his words were a little listless: "Ah, yes."

The emperor handed the kimchi altar to Eunuch De to put it away, and then said disgustedly: "Come on, I don't take yours for nothing. I'm farming with you these days. It's boring. Do you want to give you an errand?"

Shen Congyun's eyes shined brightly: "Chen, please follow His Majesty's instructions."

On the same day, the emperor ordered to transport grain, grass and supplies to the border again. If there was not enough food, he borrowed it from the grain merchants. The court did not give cash, but it sounds like they did not suffer.

"Repay us three times next year? Seriously?"

Shen Congyun, who took over the errand and was in charge of grain collection, nodded: "You are not joking."

Your Majesty is an old chicken thief. Don't say nothing, pay three times the food, and it will be profitable next year!No wonder the matter of the new rice seeds has been kept under wraps, and the award to the Ning family has been delayed again and again.

Those officials who didn't know about the new crops were all excited to play when they heard about it, saying that Shen Congyun was reckless and naive, easily promised to shake the foundation of the country, and there were [-] soldiers at the border, oh no, His Majesty is sending more people, how much food would it take? ?Three times the repayment next year, is it still worth it?
The emperor suppressed all the booklets and ignored them, Shen Congyun continued to wander in a hurry, but those grain merchants, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to make a fortune and take advantage of it, sent the grain over quickly.

Shen Congyun perfectly completed the task given by His Majesty, followed by impeachment day by day. He felt as if he had become the traitor who deceived the Lord with false rumors, but he was not panicked at all.

Even Shen Xiang admired his son's attitude that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged, so he couldn't help but look up at him. Shen Congyun waved his fan proudly: "That girl Xiaoxiao once said that the more ostentatious the early stage, the more ostentatious the later stage." The face hurts more."

Although I didn't quite understand it, it's not difficult to see the color on his son's face. Shen Xiang threw him with a broom: "You're so cool in autumn, shake your fan! Talk to me!"

 The timeline was wrong, edited it
