reborn idle wife

Chapter 192

Since Emperor Xuan received the news that Zhenbei Hou asked to see him, he subconsciously looked up at the weather outside the hall. Yes, the sun was shining brightly, and nothing strange happened.

That's even more strange, how could the old Zhenbeihou come into the palace on his own initiative if there was nothing important in his daily life?Could it be that Nangong Xiao guessed something and told this old guy?Emperor Jinxuan recently even dreamed that his dream of longevity was shattered. When I think about it, I feel heartache, liver pain, stomach pain, and then I feel toothache for those guys who broke good things. When this toothache hurts, I feel extremely bad. Therefore, when he heard that Nangong Xiao's father had come, Emperor Jinxuan's face turned ashamed.

As for the Marquis of Zhenbei, as if he didn't know it at all, he didn't seem to understand the sympathetic look secretly cast by the eunuch who came to make an announcement, and walked into the inner room with his head held high: "I greet Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jinxuan was silent for a moment, his eyes seemed to be staring at the booklet in his hand carelessly, but in fact all his attention was on Zhenbeihou who was kneeling below him. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and dropped the booklet: "Is the Marquis of Zhenbei here?"

The chief inspector at the side bowed his body: "Dodge, Master Hou has been waiting here for a while."

Emperor Jinxuan seemed to have just seen the people below, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, when did you come? Why didn't you make a sound?" He turned angrily and reprimanded the respectful eunuchs next to him. Said: "All of you are dead? Why didn't you make a sound when Zhenbei Hou came?"

A group of inner eunuchs had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty. Grandma's job is not easy to do. It is obvious that the emperor and his old man deliberately wanted to let the Marquis of Zhenbei hang out. Now they are talking about a group of servants.Who is the emperor? They are a group of slaves, and the emperor can kill them all without blinking an eye.

Zhenbeihou also understood Emperor Jinxuan's thoughts, and still knelt on the ground upright: "Your Majesty calm down, it's because I see that the Holy One is busy, I don't dare to disturb, it's only a moment's work, it's nothing."

"Marquis of Zhenbei, please hurry up." Emperor Jinxuan curled his lips slightly, as if he was very satisfied with his answer: "It's your good temper that made these slaves bold, who should indulge Who should be tight, you have to have a plan in your heart, you are the Marquis of Zhenbei, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, if you are confused about these things, what will happen to you?"

"My minister understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Zhenbei Hou thanked him, meticulously completed all the proper etiquette, and then got up: "Your Majesty, I have something important to ask to see Your Majesty." He said with a slight gaze He glanced at the eunuchs standing beside Emperor Jinxuan, and closed his mouth.

Emperor Xuan understood and waved his hand: "You all go out, I won't call anyone, and no one is allowed to come near."

A group of eunuchs and eunuchs retreated without a word, neatly and silently, Emperor Jinxuan was protected by hidden guards, these eunuchs were useless at all, and at the critical moment, we had to worry about whether there was someone inside. The spies placed by other forces will do bad things, and after going out, they also took the door behind them, guarding the outside like a door god and not allowing anyone to approach.

Zhenbei Hou saw that all the people who were obstructive to the eyes had gone out, so he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen Gouzi took his wife to visit his seriously ill mother-in-law at his in-law's house a few days ago. crop."

a crop?Emperor Jinxuan, who thought Zhenbei Hou would talk about the war in northern Xinjiang, widened his eyes in astonishment, feeling as if he punched out and hit the cotton. He was very depressed. How could he guess wrong?Doesn't this old boy want to go back to the army? "Crop? Is there something weird about this crop?"

"Your Majesty, this kind of crop is none other than corn from other countries." Zhenbei Hou said eloquently, as if he didn't see Emperor Jinxuan's momentary gaffe of astonishment just now: "This corn doesn't come from much, and the common people can't afford it. Rich people buy it back and use it for cooking.”

"What's so strange about that?" Emperor Jinxuan was speechless, the prices of the things passed down from Fanbang were not cheap, after all, there was such a long distance. "You came to see me just because of this?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood." Zhenbei Hou seemed to have no expression on his face, and said sternly: "The eldest son of the Mo family has recently become obsessed with researching farming. He got some corn seeds and went back to try planting them, but he found that these things are indisputable. It is drought-resistant and has a high yield, which is more suitable for ordinary people to eat than wheat and rice.”

Although wheat and rice are fine grains, the yield is really a problem. After so many years, there is still not much improvement. Once there is a disaster year, it will be bad. People will definitely make trouble if they don’t have enough to eat.

The people depend on food, if there is no food, then the sky will fall, do you expect others to be honest and obedient when the sky is falling?

Emperor Jinxuan's eyes lit up immediately, he didn't forget what he was about to face, Chu Liangchen left a mess, he didn't know when it would come out, when the disaster showed signs, the common people had no food Eat, and those honest little lambs will turn into hungry wolves, and will snatch everything they see and tear it up without hesitation.

If there is something that can satisfy the hunger of the common people at this time, appease the biggest uneasy factor, everything else will be no problem, as long as Chu Liangchen appears, everything will be solved.

Therefore, Emperor Jinxuan's original thoughts were all flying at this moment, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and looked at Zhenbeihou with concern: "Oh? Is it so amazing? But this corn has always been used for cooking, and it can be used as food Ration?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense." Zhenbeihou replied sternly, "This matter was tested by Gouzi and the eldest son of the Mo family. This corn can not only be cooked, but also boiled and eaten. It can be dried and ground into powder. It can be made into noodles like steamed buns, and it can also be used to make soup and porridge. Although it is a coarse grain, it is not as good as rice and white noodles, but it is absolutely no problem to satisfy hunger. And this stuff is indisputable, it can be planted in the field, and it can also be planted On the ridges, the yield is still high."

Emperor Jinxuan's heart beat rapidly, and he couldn't help standing up and walking back and forth, taking a deep breath: "Okay! If this is true, then Jiangshan Sheji is hopeful."

The corners of Zhenbeihou's eyes twitched slightly. At first, he still had some doubts about what Nangong Xiao said, but the words of Emperor Jinxuan confirmed the authenticity of those words. Now the world is very peaceful. If Emperor Jinxuan hadn't Knowing that there will be disasters, how could he say such a thing, as the king of a country, he doesn't care about governing the country and benefiting the people, but he only thinks about immortality, so he even doesn't hesitate to bet the country and the community.

In this case, then he can carry out their plan without any scruples. The Zhenbei Hou's Mansion protects the country and the country, not a foolish king.

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Jinxuan looked extremely happy: "How about the production of that corn this year? If it is promoted nationwide in the coming year, is it possible to realize it?"

Zhenbei Hou pondered for a while, but rejected Emperor Jinxuan's idea: "Your Majesty, although the yield of corn is high, it is the first time to plant it. I am worried that the common people will not agree with this new thing and will not plant it. Even if it is hindered The court decree planting is probably perfunctory. Most of the fields are still used to grow wheat, rice or sorghum. See if you can find a place to grow corn specially, and show them the actual results when the time comes. Facts win Yu eloquence."

Emperor Xuan Xuan thinks about it too, the birth of a new thing is not so easy to be accepted, but seeing that disaster is about to happen, and now I only go to a special place to grow corn, I am afraid that the distant water will not be able to quench my thirst.

Therefore, Emperor Jinxuan was in a dilemma, and he was a little hesitant.

"Your Majesty, besides this, merchants' houses often hoard for strange things. Just at the beginning of this year when the south of the Yangtze River was flooded, some unscrupulous merchants hoarded grain to drive up the price of grain. The troubled people were destitute. Fortunately, the emperor ordered the local officials to open I am afraid that a small flood will cause great harm." Seeing that Emperor Jinxuan was hesitant, Zhenbei Hou quickly added a fire: "Which of those merchants does not have a lot of grain in their hands, But you don't want to be loyal to the country, and you just wait for the country to make money, which is really a loss of virtue and a loss of morality!"

Zhenbeihou here angrily scolded those unscrupulous businessmen, and expressed great disdain for the merchants who ranked at the bottom of the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen with the appearance of a moralist, as if he didn't see the brighter eyes of Emperor Jinxuan and Yue Emotions come and go.

Yes, there are also merchants. Although those people have low status, they have the most money, food and rice in their hands. If there is really not enough food to deal with disasters, these merchants will come in handy.

"Your majesty, you have never seen the despicable faces of those merchants." Zhenbei Hou vented his dissatisfaction with merchants endlessly: "It's nothing more than hoarding for wealth and being unkind, but you are still jumping up and down to improve your status. After getting money, you still have to enter the scholar class, spend a lot of money to buy a flashy name for yourself, and still feel complacent, that's a shame."

Emperor Jinxuan almost looked up to the sky and laughed. As a high-ranking Marquis of Zhenbei, he looked down on lowly merchants.

Businessmen have money and food, what they lack is a low reputation, and when the time comes, promise a few small official positions in name only, in exchange for a lot of food for disaster victims, why not do it?

"Why should the Marquis of Zhenbei be angry with those merchants?" Emperor Jinxuan shook his head in a good mood, as if looking at a child who was arguing: "Your status is so noble, why bother with some low-level people who are not at the top? By the way , The Wala people on the border of the northern border are a little restless again, I think you are idle, why not go to the northern border, and beat these Wala people who don't have a long memory for me."

"Your Majesty obeys the order!" As soon as Zhenbei Hou mentioned the business, he immediately replied seriously, but soon he hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, I have a small request, I hope Your Majesty will allow it."

Ok?Nangong Xiao?Emperor Jinxuan's nerves that had just been relaxed suddenly became tense again. What does he want to do?
"It's like this, Quanzi's mother-in-law has a strange disease, and many doctors didn't help." Zhenbeihou said with a worried face: "Later, I met a strange wandering doctor who could cure this disease, but it needs to be cured. The Mo family couldn't buy some strange medicinal materials with a lot of money, so they had to spend manpower to find them by themselves. Many of them were herbs produced in the bitter cold area of ​​Liaodong. The eldest son of the Mo family had a pure filial heart, I want to go there to find medicine for my mother in person." Zhenbeihou said slowly according to the crooked idea of ​​getting along with Nangong Xiao. "However, the Mo family is not as good as before, and there are more tough and vicious villains in Liaodong. How can he come back safely as a scholar? So Gouzi wants to go to help find medicine and treat mother-in-law in person."

Liaodong?I would like to let Emperor Xuan feel relaxed. There is nothing rare and unpopulated in that place, but many criminals were exiled there. Apart from producing some medicinal materials, there are really no other good things.Where did Nangong Xiao go, even if he wanted to contact the capital, it was not easy to travel thousands of miles and treacherously.
