[System] Datang Baby's Growth Diary

Chapter 70 Datang Baby Growth Diary 7

In the gazebo, Qiniang and Fan Lang were sitting opposite each other, the winter flew away, and the red came back, the courtyard of Yu Mansion was already full of glory.The servant girl beside him carefully watched the two people on the couch playing with the compass in their hands.sweet potato corn

Somewhere in the East Palace, there is a pavilion with gurgling water and the fragrance of tea.

Yu Shaojiu and Prince Li Hong sat opposite each other on the couch, the prince's guards were scattered not far away, and there was only one handsome attendant beside him.

The brown-green tea leaves are soaked in boiling water, gradually dyed into a clear spring, without adding salt, ginger, vinegar and other sundries, simple and fragrant, just like the person in front of you, elegant and timeless, free from dust.

"I heard that Jiulang has always liked this method of making tea, and the noble children all over Luojing have followed suit. Try it, will it suit Jiulang's heart?" Since the beginning of the new year, the gloom between Prince Li Hong's eyebrows has become more and more intense, and the blue shadows in his eyes are obvious , obviously life is not particularly good.This is also understandable. Years ago, Concubine Wu Hui cried in front of His Majesty that the Crown Prince intended to harm her son. His Majesty was furious and summoned a group of ministers to discuss the matter of abolishing the Crown Prince. Fortunately, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling and others dissuaded her, but she became increasingly displeased with the situation. A prince who is powerful and disliked by his mother and concubine, is disliked by his father and emperor. For a prince, one can imagine the blow.

Yu Shao kept his face motionless, and after thanking him, he picked up the tea set and took a sip, his thin pink lips were infiltrated by the tea, making them even more colorful.

"Very good." Sweet but not astringent, the fragrance lingers on the teeth and lasts for a long time. Although Yu Jiu prefers the special tea made by Yu Mansion, it is indeed good tea.

"If you can get a good word from Jiulang, the tea from the south is also very good. I will order someone to send the tea to the Yu Mansion later. I am a warrior. With this king, it is just a waste of cattle chewing peonies. Good. Tea naturally needs to be paired with celebrities to reflect its true value."

"Your Highness, why should you be so contemptuous of yourself. You are the heir apparent, and it is the great Tang's fortune that His Highness will be able to bring peace to the world immediately, being loyal and filial."

"But Aye doesn't think so. Concubine Hui is the only favorite now. In the future..."

"Your Highness, be careful!" Yu Shaojiu's heart skipped a beat, and quickly interrupted His Highness the Crown Prince's rather "rebellious" words.Now he understood why His Royal Highness, the bear child, cut him off halfway. His feelings came from him.The father is not in love, the mother is not favored, and there is a concubine who is coveted by the father and the emperor. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty couldn't be more cruel.

So, why did you find this baby, do I have an upright face that will never reveal the secret?

Yu Jiu: Seriously.

The prince was suddenly interrupted, and he was still a little bit surprised, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately smiled bitterly: "This king made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me Jiulang."

The two continued to drink tea, and tacitly put the matter aside.Even though the state of affairs in court is like this, walls have ears. If the words are spread, the crown prince will have nothing to hide, so it may be fine, but Yu Jiulang, who heard these words on the side, may not be so.

"I heard that Jiulang is worrying about opening a business department. If there is something that the king can help, Jiulang should not be polite to the king." Hearing this, the prince's servant next to him rolled his eyes in his heart. Jiulang of the Yu family was made things difficult for, and was even pointed at face-to-face and scolded as a bad businessman, pretending to be a celebrity, and regardless of his embarrassing status, he secretly taught those who made the most loud noises one by one.Poor ministers who have just been "taught to be human" by General Yu never dare to provoke Yu Jiulang again.The younger brother is controlling the madman and the younger brother and the younger sister, and when he gets home, he still has to get his wife and children to roll their eyes. What is he trying to do? Do whatever Ren Jiulang likes, anyway, it doesn't involve his own interests, so why bother to go through this muddy water.

Yu Jiu responded, turned to look outside the pavilion, and said suddenly: "Your Highness, have you heard about the Ministry of Industry's promotion of cotton?"

"Of course, this is a big deal in Beijing, and Jiulang has contributed a lot."

"Your Highness, what benefits does this move have?"

"The common people are warmly clothed, there is money to spend, the wasteland can be used, and the government and the government have increased taxes, which is a great thing for the country and the people."

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Eh... Well, this king is not talented, so I ask Jiulang for advice." Li Hong scratched his head childishly, and asked humbly for advice.

"Cotton is good, but it can't fill the stomach. The food problem in Chang'an and Luoyang has not yet been resolved. If the people benefit from it, too much cotton will be planted and the grain fields will be occupied, which will be counterproductive." Both Chang'an City and Luoyang are densely populated District, a population of one million is no joke.In the capital of a country, ministers, aristocrats and students gather together, and merchants and Hu people live together. There are not many people in the city who are actually engaged in farming, and the food production is naturally insufficient.One of the things that worries His Majesty today is the problem of food supply in the capital.

The capital cannot be self-sufficient. Although there are grain transport ships passing through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to transport the surplus grain from the south to the two capitals in the north, this is not a long-term solution after all.In the promotion of cotton, Yu Shaojiu had already noticed this hidden danger in advance, so he only planted it in some wasteland and inferior land, but when it was really released, the common people got benefits, and the price difference between cotton and grain would naturally make people tend to grow cotton. in exchange for food.

"Then what should we do?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked excited. Although he did not have great talent, he was still very concerned about the sufferings of the people.

"A few days ago, when my Yeniang accidentally killed a group of pirates in the south, she found something similar to the one described in the book my master left in my hiding place on the island. The book says This plant has longer spikes than those in the Central Plains and has no awns. After planting, it will not ask for water when it is dry, and it will not be dredged when it is flooded. Fertilization, exotic rice with a short growing season.Historically, this kind of rice called Zhancheng rice was introduced from Vietnam to the Jiangnan area in the late Tang Dynasty. During the Anshi Rebellion, a large number of northern populations moved southward, which brought a heavy burden on the food in the Jiangnan area. The introduction of Champa rice solved the food problem.

"Really? There is such a good thing! Why not introduce it and benefit all people?"

"Now I'm in the Ministry of Rites, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are out of my reach. I have no power. I think His Highness cares about the people. Would His Highness be willing to take over this matter and share His Majesty's worries?" Yu Jiu changed from sitting cross-legged on the couch to kneeling up, folded her sleeves, Put it up front, pleaded.

Li Hong was obviously stunned, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly got up from the couch excitedly, helped him up, and said again and again that there is no need to be polite.Then it was like a pie falling from the sky, both surprised and delighted, "This... this... this matter is of great importance. I don't understand farming, how can I do it well? The ministers of the Ministry of Industry are more proficient than this king. If there are too many, why not hand over this matter to the Ministry of Industry?"

"If Your Highness needs to be proficient in everything, what do you want us subordinates to do? Entrusting Your Highness is just to hope that His Highness can initiate this move in the court, and perform the role of supervision in the process, so as to prevent the subordinates from being lazy and delaying the business." Briefly In other words, you are the proposer and overseer, but the credit goes to you.

After three breaths, Li Hong stood up, solemnly bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Jiulang is righteous, and he will definitely live up to your entrustment."

"Your Majesty is wise, if His Highness can make some achievements, His Majesty will definitely value you more and more, and other monsters and monsters will not be able to jump up and down. Your Highness knows that emperors should not be confined within the palace walls, but should be aware of the people's sentiments." , As the saying goes, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." In history, this unlucky prince only saw Concubine Wu Hui being favored, and his mother and concubine fell out of favor. Later, because she was too stupid, she was killed by Concubine Wu Hui's trick.All in all, Yu Shaojiu felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was too idle. He was a good boy, but he was forced by Concubine Wu Hui and his own mother and concubine into such a petty appearance. Find something for him to do, to improve his favorability in front of the emperor, and wait until their Only when the plan is implemented can it be supported on the wall.

His Highness the Crown Prince, who was regarded as a bad middle-aged man, didn't know what Jiulang was thinking, but at the moment he was so moved that he couldn't help himself.As soon as he said this, he didn't know that Jiulang was thinking about himself. Since ancient times, people have regarded food as their heaven, introduced good seeds, and increased grain production. It was recorded in the annals of history, but Jiulang gave such a good job to the king. For His Royal Highness the Prince who is in a difficult situation, it is no less than sending charcoal in the snow, and it is super invincible and warm!

At this moment, the thirteen-year-old prince burst out with great pride, and he must not let Jiulang, who values ​​himself so much, be disappointed!

It was getting late, and he declined the invitation to have a meal in the East Palace. His Royal Highness looked at Yu Jiulang, who was glowing in his eyes, before walking away, like a magic stick, and left a sentence: "I think Your Highness is destined to commit robbers this year. If When you meet him, remember to stay in the mansion and not go out." Then he left in a mysterious manner.

Leaving the prince's master and servants behind, they don't know what to do.
