Mind Reading: Koi Cub brings script to save the whole family

Emperor Rui De raised his eyebrows slightly: "You didn't mention this last time, you only asked for rewards for the Qian and Yu families."

Empress Xian was also stunned for a moment: "A little girl who is less than three years old? The adults in this family are too generous. How can she bear such a cold weather?"

Concubine Xian had two sons and no daughters, but Concubine Hui had a daughter who was only eight years old and was also raised by Concubine Xian.

Sheng Jing pursed his lips and smiled, with a hint of doting in his tone.

"If there is a chance, the queen will see her and won't think so."

Concubine Xian said: "Then I will be waiting for you."

Emperor Rui De asked: "You wouldn't mention her for no reason. Tell me, what's your request?"

Sheng Jing said: "I can't hide it from my Royal Brother. I do have something to ask for, and it is indeed for that child."

"Tell me about it?" Emperor Rui De said.

Sheng Jing sat up straight and said seriously, "I brought the food back to the palace two months ago. My brother and the queen should have tasted it, right?"

Two months ago, the enemy countries of Rong and Nvhuang sent envoys to Daliang, and Sheng Jing had to return to Beijing.

Before leaving, the Yu family gave a lot of things, the most of which were the three kinds of crops.

In addition, Yang also thoughtfully prepared some production methods and taught them to Lu Zhiwan.

After returning to Beijing, Sheng Jing divided those things into two parts, keeping one part in the mansion and sending the other part to the palace.

Two months passed, and Emperor Ruide, Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui had all tasted it.

Empress Xian said, "I have tasted it, but it is not enough. The children have been clamoring for food all day long. How can I, as a parent, not let them have some?"

"I am thinking of sending someone to look for Zhiwan and shamelessly ask her for more."

However, Emperor Ruide paid attention to different things from Concubine Xian.

The last time Yuzhou Prefecture awarded disaster relief, there was a reward for the Yu family. The reward was not generous and not eye-catching to the outside world, but it was just right for the Yu family.

They are all fertile farms and are more suitable for farmers who like to farm.

"Could those things belong to them? Were these also the grains they donated to Yuzhou Prefecture for disaster relief last time?" asked Emperor Ruide.

Sheng Jing nodded: "In reply to my brother, it is the Yu family."

"Potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are cooked differently and taste different, but they all have the same characteristics, which is high yield and strong satiety."

Emperor Rui De agreed with Sheng Jing's words: "This is true. If the people of Daliang can grow this kind of food, it will be a good thing!"

"If the Daliang army also had this kind of food, the soldiers wouldn't starve."

Speaking of this, Emperor Rui De felt a little heavy.

In fact, Daliang's army was in a difficult situation.

There are two main garrisons, one is the Yanmenfu Pass, where they fight against the enemy.

One is Yucheng of Yuguang Mansion, facing the Nvhuang Kingdom where women are respected.

Although the climate in Yanmen Prefecture is relatively dry and the grain yield is low, the entire Yanmen Prefecture is backed by the Taiyin Mountains. Only a few counties near the pass are slightly worse, and the counties closer to the Taiyin Mountains are much better.

But the situation is the opposite in Yuguangfu. Yuguangfu is located in the north and the temperature is lower than that in other prefectures. At least three seasons in a year belong to autumn and winter, and only one season is slightly warmer.

What's more, half of Yuguang Prefecture has snow all year round. Although it will not freeze all living things, ordinary crops cannot grow there.

Even though the people of Yuguang Prefecture worked hard to grow crops, the harvest was pitifully small.

The people of Yuguang Prefecture rely on the mountains and the water for their livelihood. They are self-sufficient, but the army is not.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed on the border of Yuguang Prefecture all year round, and all their food rations depend on the imperial court.

This is the most troublesome thing for Emperor Rui De.

If this problem can be solved, then all the internal and external troubles of the court will be solved.

"Brother Emperor, what I want to say is exactly related to this matter!"

"Brother, do you know the yield and survival rate of the crops grown in Yujia Village? You may not believe it, but the yield of these three crops is more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. Places like Nanyang Prefecture and Yuzhou Prefecture, which are suitable for growing crops, can yield several thousand kilograms per mu. But places like Yuguang Prefecture, which is cold all year round, can only achieve the yield of ordinary crops in ordinary places."

"Brother, the territory of Yuguang Prefecture is vast, and it has always been separate from that of Nvhuang. The soldiers have nothing to do except training. It would be better to spend half a day to grow food and be self-sufficient, which can also reduce your pressure."

Emperor Ruide's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't say anything after Sheng Jing finished speaking. He was completely immersed in his own world.

Concubine Xian was so shocked that she gasped, "Your Highness, are you sure? The yield per mu is over a thousand kilograms? And you want to farm in Yuguang Mansion?"

Empress Xian's face was full of: Are you kidding? Are you lying?

Her father, Duke Dingguo, was stationed in Yucheng all year round, and she and her sisters also lived there for a few years when they were young. How could she not know whether farming was possible in Yucheng?

Sheng Jing said: "Would you joke about this? In fact, the high-yield crops of Yujia Village have already been planted in 20 villages in Songyang County."

"When I returned to the capital, Yunan County and Liuyun County in Yuzhou Prefecture also began trial planting. In Songyang County, we only know that Yujia Village has been planting for two years and has a good harvest. Other villages only started half a month ago."

"But the two counties in Yuzhou Prefecture have already produced results. The trial planting area is ten acres each, and the yield is about one thousand kilograms. The results are really gratifying. An urgent secret letter from Yunan County should arrive soon. By then, we will know the specific situation."

Why is it said to be an urgent secret letter from Yunan County? Because the magistrate of Yunan County was promoted by Sheng Jing, so naturally Sheng Jing is more trustworthy in these matters.

Emperor Ruide had come back to his senses at this time, and after hearing Sheng Jing's words, he seemed extremely excited.

"Ajing and I are brothers, so I naturally believe what Ajing says, and I am willing to try the method Ajing says. But this matter is different when it comes to the court. Those old-fashioned people will probably think it is a waste of money and time, and it is fake!"

"So A Jing has to produce evidence, after all, this is a big deal!"

Sheng Jing said: "Royal brother, can you ask the Dragon Guards to secretly investigate whether there are some new foods that are popular in the market and have no demand?"

"You can also send your confidants to Yujia Village for a secret investigation. I cannot guarantee the other ministers, but it is true that there are dozens of households in that village and hundreds of acres of fertile land."

Sheng Jing was naturally full of confidence, and Emperor Ruide suddenly laughed.

"Confidant? My confidant is far away and near at hand!"

Sheng Jing smiled knowingly: "In that case, then your Majesty will leave this matter to me. I will give you a satisfactory answer by the end of the year!"

"Then I hope that my royal brother will grant you a favor."

"Youyou? Which You?" asked Emperor Ruide.
