Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 19 Plenipotentiary Agency
Chapter 19 Discretionary
"That's what you say, I agree."

Li Shimin is in a good mood. If the hybrid rice cultivated by Qin Yang spreads in a large area, it will be enough to feed the entire Tang Dynasty. For this achievement, let alone a single request, even if it is ten or a hundred, he will agree.

Taking advantage of Li Shimin's happiness, Qin Yang said, "I will be the sole agent for hybrid rice."

"You mean, you're in charge?"

The smile on Li Shimin's face froze, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

Leading the coast of the earth, is it a king minister.

Although hybrid rice was cultivated by Qin Yang, he was a citizen of the Tang Dynasty after all.

Therefore, in Li Shimin's mind, the hybrid rice belongs to the imperial court, not Qin Yang himself.

Follow the rules.

Qin Yang's hybrid rice should be handed over to the imperial court, and the household department should undertake it.

In return, of course.

Li Shimin will personally make an order to announce it to the world, and erect a monument to Qin Yang to praise it.

But now.

Qin Yang made this request, but Li Shimin was in trouble.

If this precedent is set, the credibility of the imperial court will be greatly reduced, threatening the royal power.

Kingship is supreme.

An existence that cannot be challenged.

The most important thing.

Hybrid rice belongs to agriculture. Since it is agriculture, it will definitely generate taxes.

Taxation is one of the key factors for the dynasty to maintain its operation.

Even if Li Shimin agrees to handing over the full power of hybrid rice to Qin Yang, the ministers under him will definitely not agree.

Seeing Li Shimin hesitated.

Qin Yang said: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the authorized agent I mean is that my Qin family sells the rice seeds and registers them. When the rice is mature, my Qin family will buy it and then hand it over to the imperial court. "

In fact, what Qin Yang does is to act as an intermediary.

He produced rice seeds and sold them to farmers. Finally, he purchased the mature rice from farmers and sold it to the court.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes brightened.

He was mainly worried that Qin Yang would use his power for personal gain and use hybrid rice to enrich himself.

But after hearing Qin Yang's suggestion.

Li Shimin more or less understood.

"That's a good suggestion."

After careful consideration, Li Shimin finally nodded his head in agreement, and said, "Qin Yang, I'm sure. However, no falsification is allowed in the registration book, otherwise, will you know the consequences?"

These words were undoubtedly a warning to Qin Yang.

"Your Majesty must remember."

Seeing that Li Shimin agreed to his request, Qin Yang chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more request."

"Why do you have so many demands?"

Li Shimin frowned. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Yang was a rare talent, he would have asked the guards to kick him out.

Well now.

As soon as I agreed to Qin Yang, the other party immediately followed the pole.

Qin Yang smiled slyly and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I need your Majesty to handwrite an imperial edict. The content is that I will be the agent of hybrid rice with full authority."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, pointed at Qin Yang, and scolded with a smile:

"Qin Yang, Qin Yang, you are really thoughtful."

The reason why Qin Yang asked Li Shimin to write an imperial decree was because the hybrid rice would definitely attract the attention of the gentry.

Qin Yang and the noble clan have been at odds for more than a day or two.

The gentry, who have always only looked at the benefits, will definitely make trouble in private after learning about the miscellaneous rice.

In order to prevent the nobles from playing tricks.

Qin Yang then asked Li Shimin to write an imperial edict for him.

With the decree.

It's like having a trump card.

At that time, even if the gentry wants to interfere and sacrifice the imperial decree by themselves, the gentry will definitely be afraid.

That night.

Qin Yang took the imperial edict given to him by Li Shimin and returned to the Qin Mansion happily.

at the same time.

Donggong Mansion.

"What did you say? Father made Qin Yang the young minister?"

Li Chengqian looked at the eunuch Wang Hai with a face full of disbelief, and said, "How can he, Qin Yang, be able to do so? He actually pleases the emperor?"

"Your Highness, Qin Yang was conferred the title of Shaoqing not because he pleases Your Majesty, but because"

Wang Hai hesitated.

Li Chengqian saw that he didn't give a reason for a long time and said anxiously: "Say it quickly!"

Wang Haidao: "It's because Qin Yang cultivated hybrid rice."

"Hybrid rice?"

Li Chengqian looked confused. This was the first time he had heard of the word hybrid rice.

Seeing Li Chengqian's puzzled face, Wang Hai explained: "Your Highness, hybrid rice is different from ordinary rice. It only takes one month for hybrid rice to mature, and half an acre can yield a thousand catties."

"what??"

Li Chengqian's eyes were as wide as bells, and his head was buzzing.

It takes only one month to mature.

Half an mu yields a thousand catties.

Li Chengqian was completely dumbfounded.

Based on these two points alone, Qin Yang was enough to be granted the title of god. His father conferred upon Qin Yang the official title of fourth-grade Shaoqing, which could be said to be a huge advantage.

"Any more news?"

When Li Chengqian came back to his senses, his expression was extremely ugly.

Wang Hai sighed, and said: "There is another thing. Your Majesty decrees that Qin Yang will be fully responsible for the hybrid rice."

Now, Li Chengqian was completely desperate.

Originally, he was thinking of sending people to make trouble, but after hearing Wang Hai's words, he completely cut off his thoughts.

"Qin Yang! I must not keep you!"

A trace of killing intent flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, and the resentment towards Qin Yang in his heart had reached its peak.

The next day.

The gate of the Qin Mansion.

The servants are carrying bags of rice seeds one after another into the car.

Qin Yang, on the other hand, was in charge of supervision.

"Yang'er, if you do this, I always feel something wrong for my father."

Qin Xiangshan first glanced at the servants who were carrying them, and then shifted his gaze to Qin Yang.

"Father, don't worry."

Qin Yang knew what Qin Xiangshan was thinking, and comforted him: "We are only selling grain seeds, so what if the gentry know about it? Why should we let them lead us by the nose when we are doing business?"

"Can"

Qin Xiangshan was still a little worried.

After all, the power of the noble clan is much greater than that of the Qin family.

Before the cigarette thing.

already offended them.

Now that hybrid rice is available, if the gentry know about it, the other party will use their huge power to suppress the Qin family.

Then the Qin family will be in bad luck.

Qin Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "Dad, just put your heart in your belly, I have a magic weapon."

"magic weapon?"

Qin Xiangshan looked puzzled.

Qin Yang took the opportunity to take out the imperial edict from his arms.

When Qin Xiangshan saw this, he was about to kneel down. Fortunately, Qin Yang stopped him in time and said, "There are no outsiders here, why are you kneeling?"

"Yang'er, this is an imperial edict. If your Majesty comes in person, you will have to kneel down as a father."

Qin Xiangshan looked panicked.

Regarding Qin Xiangshan's actions, Qin Yang was somewhat dumbfounded.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved.

After all, I have a modern thinking, and the cheap daddy in front of me is a real slavish thinking.

Soon, the servants loaded bags of rice seeds into the car.

Qin Yang took Qin Xiangshan to another carriage.

Two carriages drove away from the Qin Mansion one after another, heading towards Chang'an Farmer's Market one after the other.
