At the beginning, I awakened the Taobao system

Zhen Zhen kept silent when she heard that, if Princess Tuyuhun hadn't caused trouble, she would have fulfilled her wish, hearing Chen Yi say that she was her own, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Lan Xuan nodded to Zhen'er and the four of them, and urged: "Work hard!"

evening.

The swimming pool is full of spring colors.

When Chen Yi was at ease, the news that he prodigal and wasted food spread throughout the Gong family village.

The next day, Chen Yihuai took Yiren to sleep soundly, and the deeds of the prodigal had entered Chang'an City.

"Have you heard that Duke Xu's prodigal family has planted corn on thousands of acres of stubble land?"

"If you have money, you can't waste it like this. What's more, there is already a drought in Hebei Road. Do evil, do evil."

"Yes, I heard that His Majesty can't persuade you."

"By the way, what is corn, I've never heard of it, does anyone know?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone said loudly: "I heard from the farmers in Gongjiazhuang that the corn is yellow and orange, golden, and the grains are like gold, which is extremely precious."

"No, no, corn and corn must be rice like white jade. I heard that eating one grain will fill you up."

"How can a grain of rice be full?"

"It's a grain of rice, otherwise how could it produce three to five thousand rice per mu, don't you think?"

The more the news spread, the more mysterious it became. At first, everyone was saddened by Chen Yi's actions, complaining that Chen Yi wasted food, and then they directly quarreled over the yield of corn per mu.

a thousand catties...

Fifteen hundred catties...

two thousand catties...

Three thousand catties...

All kinds of groundless rumors, all kinds of fuel and vinegar, unknowingly, the corn yield exceeds [-] per mu.

"Wan Jin, you are a ghost, I have to go to Gong's Village to have a look..."

"I'll go as well……"

Early in the morning, idlers in Chang'an went to Gongjiazhuang to watch the fun without stopping.

Witnessing Chen Yi's careless behavior, even the sons of the aristocratic family who claimed to be worth a lot of money all wailed: It's a crime, this is not farming, this is clearly a play.

The more onlookers, the faster the news spreads.

For a moment, Chen Yi was criticized by thousands of people.

At three poles in the sun, Cheng Yaojin rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Chen Yi's simple and rude planting methods, he beat his chest and stamped his feet angrily in the field.

Not long after, Yu Chigong, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji also came, pointing and cursing, becoming more and more changed.

Intensified, Chen Yi was forced to have a banquet for a few people to drink, a few sleeping pills knocked them down, and finally threw them into the woodshed to cleanse the ears.

However, Chen Yi's prodigal reputation spread throughout Chang'an City because of his bad reputation for ruining food.

Some people tried to persuade Chen Yi, hoping that Chen Yi would change his mind and work hard, while others seized the opportunity and planned to take the opportunity to defeat Chen Yi.

Pei Ji Mansion.

More than ten officials gathered in the hall full of righteous indignation.

"Sikong, Chen Yi's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, and it is becoming more and more unfavorable for the restoration of the Supreme Emperor. This time, what he has done has caused anger and resentment. If the arrangement is proper, he should be able to beat Duke Xu and cut off His Majesty's arm."

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and he has committed an unforgivable crime by spoiling food. His Majesty cannot protect him if we occupy righteousness."

"I heard that His Majesty didn't think so, and even plowed the land specially."

"No, no, Your Majesty worked intensively and went back to the palace in a fit of anger last night. He heard the maids and eunuchs in the palace say that His Majesty has a lot of opinions on Xu Guogong's actions, and he warned all the princes to follow suit strictly."

Pei Ji listened to his colleague's words with a stern expression.

Last year, the drought in Guanzhong spread and locust plagues raged, which damaged Li Shimin's prestige. As a result, Chen Yi was born. He quickly recovered Shuofang City, and then offered three-ripened rice.

It is getting more and more difficult for the Supreme Emperor to be restored, and he has to move out of the Tai Chi Palace at any time.

Chen Yi must be contained.

Pei Ji analyzed the pros and cons, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty took pictures of Chen Yi's achievements in the Northern Expedition, and deliberately gave him a little bit of face. If I wait to kneel down to die and remonstrate, I will definitely be able to force Your Majesty to punish Chen Yi and demote him to Chang'an."

After making up their minds, a group of officials hula-la went to the palace, knelt in front of the palace, and wrote a letter asking Li Shimin to punish Chen Yi.

When he came back yesterday, Li Shimin was so tired that his back hurt.

In the afternoon, I went to the study to deal with government affairs. It doesn't matter if I don't read it. I read more than a dozen officials to impeach Chen Yi. Wronged Baba to impeach Chen Yi.

Li Xiaogong and others clearly wrote in the memorial, accusing Chen Yi of being disrespectful and throwing them into the woodshed after getting drunk.

But Li Xiaogong and others wrote clearly in the memorial that new tea appeared in Chen Yi's mansion, and Li Shimin was invited to go and loot it together.

Li Shimin is considering whether to go there?

The imperial eunuch came in with a dignified expression and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, Sikong led more than ten officials to kneel in front of the hall, admonishing Xu Guogong for wasting food, and demanded that he be punished."

"Pei Ji?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, Sikong."

Ha ha……

Li Shimin put away the memorial, got up and walked outside.

For more than a year, Li Shimin has complained about Pei Ji.

This person kept making small moves in secret, but unexpectedly turned his target to Chen Yi.

Arriving in front of the hall, Li Shimin said dissatisfied: "Get up and talk."

When he came back last night, he thought about Chen Yi's actions carefully. Even though he was occasionally absurd, he was always sure, so he let Chen Yi toss about farming and waited for the autumn harvest before making a decision.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guogong is deceiving people's hearts, ruining food and abandoning fertile fields, causing the people of Chang'an to complain. We must not allow Xu Guogong to break the law knowingly. I beg to punish Xu Guogong, otherwise I will kneel and die in front of the palace." Pei Ji said.

"Your Majesty, the drought in Hebei Province is getting more and more serious, but Xu Guogong wastes tens of thousands of catties of grain. His heart is bleeding. Officials like this must not stay in the court."

"Food is the most important thing for the people. Xu Guogong lives a luxurious life, but he never considers the situation of the people. Agriculture is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Guogong blatantly abandoned the fertile land. He should be expelled from Chang'an. I implore your majesty to punish him severely."

Of course Li Shimin knew how Chen Yi farmed the land, but he believed that Chen Yi would never make fun of the food issue. After all, the three-ripening rice that Tang Jian was in charge of had already had a good harvest in the first crop, and the second crop was about to be harvested.

If there is no Chen Yi, he still has to worry about the food problem, and said flatly: "Chen Yi is not intensive farming."

"Your Majesty, it's not just that he didn't cultivate intensively. He just dug a hole and buried the seeds in it." Pei Ji said: "The drought is coming, and His Majesty has already cut down on food and clothing. Instead of setting an example, Xu Guogong wasted food. This move is outraged by everyone and must be exiled for three thousand miles." .”

Exile...Three thousand miles...

If Chen Yi is exiled, Chen Yi will definitely build an empire stronger than Datang.

Pei Ji, so cruel, is this going to destroy the foundation of Datang?

Furthermore, when Chen Yi requested to dispose of the prisoners, the officials headed by Pei Ji claimed that the imperial court had enough food to feed more than [-] prisoners.

"I see, let's go back." Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently.

"If your Majesty does not punish Xu Guogong, I will never get up." Pei Ji stood firm.

"Your Majesty, please punish Xu Guogong."

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted angrily, and Long Yansheng yelled angrily: "Chen Yi worked hard for the country, and the corn he planted has a yield of one thousand catties per mu. If there is a bumper harvest in autumn, there is a chance that it will spread throughout Guanzhong in the coming year, and spread throughout the northern part of the Tang Dynasty in the next year, permanently solving the food problem. If you like to kneel, continue to kneel, whoever dies, the court will collect his body."

corn?

What exactly is corn?
Li Shimin angrily reprimanded Pei Ji and the officials for making fun of themselves, and planned to leave the palace.

However, in order to express his attitude, he led all the officials to kneel until dusk, their knees were sore and dizzy, Li Shimin showed no sign of answering them, so he got up and went back home in embarrassment.

After this battle, Pei Ji came back defeated.

His heart is like a mirror, and the emperor has high hopes for Chen Yi and Chen Yi's corn.

However, what exactly is corn, which can produce a thousand catties per mu, asked the accompanying officials, but none of them knew.

They sent servants to Zhuque Street to inquire, and returned mixed news. Some claimed that the yield of corn per mu was [-] catties, while others said that the yield of corn was [-] catties, and some even said that the yield of corn was [-] catties per mu.

The news is complicated and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.

Pei Ji decided to go to Gongjiazhuang to investigate in person the next day.
