Eight stones per mu, exposed

As a great emperor, it’s normal for him to dislike these things.

But he also had to admit that the Four Kings and Eight Dukes have many followers.

Even the emperor has to rely on them for some things.

So sometimes the emperor can only tolerate what they do.

Fortunately, what the Jia family did this time is not too much. After all, according to the news from the emperor, Hou Xiaokang’s death should have nothing to do with Yang Guang.

On the contrary, Yang Guang was the one who suffered, because Hou Xiaokang stole the seeds from his Zhuangzi, and even stole them together.

Although it can’t be seen on the surface now, the emperor is very clear that Yang Guang’s current business is good because of his uniqueness.

After losing this monopoly position, it will soon be replaced by others, and it might not even be possible to keep the current Zhuangzi.

The royal family has long experienced the eating habits of Xungui and the aristocratic families.

Not long after, the emperor waited for Xiao Chunzi’s reply.

“Wait and wait outside, and let me take care of him.”

“Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please read it yourself.”

Xiaochunzi seemed very excited. Seeing him, the emperor was also interested in the news. What kind of news would make him, a companion, so cautious?

While opening the paper in his hand, he asked, “Who are the people outside, and they need to be taken care of?”

Just as he was talking, his mouth suddenly stopped, and then he stared at the words written on the paper with his eyes wide open.

“Eight stones per mu? Is this true!?” The emperor’s voice changed, with a sense of urgency in his excitement.Cut and panic.

It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but the emperor is very aware of the grain yield. Even in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain yield of three shi per mu is already extremely high.

What does eight stones per mu mean? It means that if the whole country is planted, the grain output will triple.

The cornerstone of a country’s stability is food. How would a world be stable without food?

Xiao Chunzi also beamed with joy and said, “Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a blessing from heaven.”

“I didn’t think of this as a servant girl. When I went to learn about vegetable seeds, I inadvertently learned that there are grain seeds.”

“Speaking of which, Seagull is thanks to the Marquis. If nothing happened to him, who would notice a little Zhuangzi?”

The emperor also laughed a few times when he heard the words, and then reprimanded: “What are you talking about, Hou Xiaokang is the pillar of the country, and what he did is not honorable, so don’t talk about it in the future.”

Xiao Chunzi slapped his own mouth lightly twice and said, “It’s my servant’s fault, this mouth is disobedient, it should be slapped.”

The two masters and servants were joking. The emperor thought of the people outside again, looked at Xiao Chunzi and said, “Could it be the people outside?”

“Your Majesty, the people outside are the farmers and tenants of Xiaoyangzhuang.”

“After Lord Marquis’s Zhuangzi was burned, people moved to one of Lord Wu’s Zhuangzi.”

“If you want to investigate, the servants brought the people here on their own initiative. They also told the news. In order to verify the authenticity, the servants brought them here on purpose.”

How else can it be said that it is very important to have a servant who can do things, a companion like him, although sometimes it is easy to figure out his own thoughts, which makes him a little displeased.

But when it comes to using it, it’s really easy to use. Needless to say, he handles many things properly.

“Well, since you brought them all, let’s ask.”

The emperor agreed, so Xiao Chunzi turned around and opened the door, and then led the people into the hall.

These farmers and tenants were already frightened to the point of war.

They came out of Xiaoyangzhuang, and experienced Zhuangzi being burned, transferred, imprisoned, and then brought to this mysterious place.

I received too many frights along the way, and now I even started to fear whether I would be killed.

“Let me ask you, is it true or false that the grain yield of eight shi per mu is true?”

The emperor’s question also went straight to the point, and he cared about that. As for growing green vegetables that are not in season, there are also warm soup supervisors in the palace, so he doesn’t care.

The farmers below nodded their heads when they heard the question, but no one came out to say anything, obviously they were all scared.

Who knows if the shooting at the head of the bird will happen? It’s better not to talk.

This situation made the emperor frown, how could he just nod his head?

Xiaochunzi saw that this was not a problem, so he pointed at one and said, “You, stand up and answer!”

The emperor admired Xiaochunzi’s eyesight, but the person pointed at was so frightened that he almost couldn’t stand up.

Fortunately, he stood up tremblingly in the end.

“Return, return, return to your lord’s words, we don’t know if there are eight stones in the grain.”

“The owner said that it can produce eight stones of grain, so we planted it, but the grain will be ripe soon. We saw it when we came out, and it is indeed much more than usual.”

During the intermittent replies, the emperor got the news he wanted, and it seemed that it was indeed a seed that could yield a good harvest. As for whether there were as many as eight stones, it had to be verified.

Xiao Yangzhuang, he remembered the name, and at the same time he remembered the name Yang Guang.

Before, I felt sorry for Hou Xiaokang’s death. Although he was won over by his son and became his internal support in the palace, he was still his courtier after all.

He was in his prime, so it would be a pity to die, but his death would let him know that there are still such grains, so the one who died deserved it.

If he didn’t want to get other people’s vegetable seeds out of his eyes, how could he expose the high-yield grain seeds by accident?

“Okay, Xiao Chunzi, you can arrange these people well. By the way, are there any grain seeds among the vegetable seeds that were brought out?”

Seeing His Majesty’s question, Xiao Chunzi shook his head after thinking for a while and said, “That kind of seeds should have been controlled by that Yang Guang, and the ones that were resold were all vegetable seeds.”

The emperor was a little disappointed and said: “That’s fine, you send some people to the vicinity of Xiaoyangzhuang to check and estimate, and if possible, take some samples.”

“By the way, I still need to send someone to contact that Yang Guang. Maybe only he knows where it came from.”

“Also, Hou Xiaokang’s death made him feel a little wronged this time. In this way, doesn’t Hou Xiaokang still have a few villages near Xiaoyangzhuang?”

“Go ahead and sell it to him at a low price. The condition is to get grain seeds, understand?”

After hearing this, Xiao Chunzi immediately nodded and said, “Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will do it now.”

Everyone left, but the emperor was extremely excited in the palace alone. No matter how excited he was, he always felt that he should do something.

“Come here, go and bring me the sign, I’m going to turn over the sign tonight!”

Because there was a good thing, the emperor was so excited that he wanted to turn over the cards. The beauties in the harem were all very excited when they heard about it, and they didn’t know who would have a chance.
