Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune

Finally, the emperor asked, "Is there any mistake in the memorial submitted?"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Dezi took the memorial to the county magistrate.

Li Rong read it again from beginning to end before returning the memorial to Xiao Dezi.

"Your Majesty, I did not write it wrong."

The emperor sat up straight and said, "Oh, if I am not mistaken, this is 6000 kilograms, not 600 kilograms. What you wrote in the memorial is the output of one mu of land equivalent to that of 20 mu of land."

The ministers below were also whispering in the street: "He really doesn't care about his life and dares to say anything. If this is found to be untrue, won't he be beheaded in a minute?"

"What else does this need to be proven? It must be fake. If it weighs 6000 kilograms, I'll cut off my head and use it as a stool for him to sit on."

The county magistrate stepped forward and told the whole story of what he had seen and heard in Taoliu Village and the fruits his wife had bought from the village.

"Everything I say is true, and I am willing to guarantee it with my life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell silent. How could this be tolerated?

Could it be true? Otherwise, who would guarantee it with the lives of their entire family?

"The emperor's officials also brought some fresh crops here."

What was presented were fresh potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as a few recipes that the county magistrate had written down after learning how to cook these things from the old Su family.

Xiao Dezi presented all the prescriptions the man had brought out.

The man sitting on the dragon chair looked at Fang before giving the order.

"Xiao Dezi has ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare all these things according to the recipe and present them to you, my dear ministers, for you to taste."

Soon, with the cooks working hard to prepare the delicious dishes, they were finally ready.

Everyone in the Golden Palace could only drool as they watched the eunuchs bring in the delicious food.

Indeed, this delicacy exudes an alluring aroma when it is served.

Xiao Dezi naturally tasted it first, and then tested the poison with a silver needle and found no problem, then he put it in front of the emperor.

The eunuchs below also placed the trays in their hands in front of the ministers standing in the front row.

General Liu, who was at the front, was the first to pick up the roasted sweet potatoes and taste them.

"Hah slurp" The food was a bit too hot for General Liu to eat, but it tasted really sweet.

After taking the first bite, General Liu turned around and asked the eunuch, "Is there any sugar in this?"

"Reporting to the general, none of them."

The emperor also tasted the sweet potato while sitting on the throne, and naturally heard what the eunuch said about not adding sugar.

"It's so sweet without adding sugar, it's really good."

The emperor did not show his shock on his face, but he was actually extremely shocked on his heart. Not only was the food delicious, but the most important thing was the 6000 kilograms that the county magistrate had mentioned. It was still lingering in his mind.

Next, I tried the ingredient called potatoes. There were shredded potatoes with salt, and boiled potatoes that were cut in half and sprinkled with chili powder.

When I ate the boiled potatoes sprinkled with chili powder, I felt that the red stuff inside looked a bit like bell peppers.

"The peppers this time are really good. They taste many times better than the peppers in previous years."

Xiao Dezi whispered on the side, "Your Majesty, this is not chili pepper, but the chili pepper brought by Li Rong, the county magistrate of Taohua Town."

"Reporting to the emperor, this is what I brought from that farmer's house. I heard that the seeds were sold by the Hu people and grown by that family."

In addition, with permission, the county magistrate asked the eunuch outside the door to bring in several large bags of melons.

"Your Majesty, please bring some of the fruits and vegetables grown by that farmer here. Please be kind enough to taste them."

The officials in the court are not stupid. This thing has been sold in the capital for a long time, and I heard that it is now impossible to buy it even if you have money.

If I could get one or two of these things back, my wife would definitely be happy.

Then, the adults looked at the several large bags of fruits and vegetables on the ground and began to get ready.

How could the emperor not know what these ministers were thinking? But how could he make them happy?

My concubine has long said that she wants to eat this thing, but she has never been able to buy it since then. She heard from everywhere that it is produced in a remote place.

I was thinking of sending someone to check if there were any left and if so, buy them all, but I didn't expect that someone would hand me a pillow when I felt sleepy.

"Master Sima, you can take your people over to take a look at the specific situation, and also ask that farmer how he grows these new foods.

As for the peppers, let them continue to grow as many as they can and we will harvest them all."

After tasting the chili in the potato just now, the emperor exclaimed that it was indeed many times more delicious than the bell pepper in all aspects.

The people in the Agriculture Department have never figured out how to grow this pepper, so they buy it from the Hu people at a high price every year, but the price gets higher and higher each time.

Ma Wei from the Department of Agriculture stepped forward immediately to receive the order and said, “I will humbly learn and master this planting technique completely.”

Lord Ma is not stupid. If he can handle such an important matter himself, promotion and wealth are just around the corner.

It’s exciting to think about it. 6000 kilograms per mu is such a terrifying number.

"From what you said, my dear minister, it was the little girl from the farmer's family who made it. In that case, we should at least give her some reward."

The emperor stroked his chin and thought again and again. The national treasury was not full, but they had made such a great contribution. If he did not show some appreciation, it would really disappoint the people.

I am not afraid of being cheated. After all, the Ministry of Agriculture will definitely go down with the imperial edict, so I am not afraid of being cheated.

Thinking of this, he said directly to Xiao Dezi beside him: "Xiao Dezi, draft the decree."

"The daughter of the Su family in Taoliu Village, who is clever and skillful, has cultivated crops with an output of 6000 kilograms per mu for the dynasty. She is hereby named the county princess and rewarded with taels of gold."

Although the county princess had no real power, her official position was comparable to that of the county magistrate and she held a considerable status.

"When the magistrate of Taohua Town was in office, he organized people to go into the mountains to find water and build ditches, thus solving the water problem for the entire town.

Now he has come a long way to bring a new species to the emperor. For his meritorious service, he will be specially appointed as the prefect and rewarded with 100 pieces of silk and satin. In addition, if there are any more discoveries that benefit the country and the people in the future, he can come to the emperor in person."

"Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

……

Here, Su Muyao was still setting up a stall with her father in the town, and had no idea that she was about to become a high-ranking official.

Just after all the things were sold, when Old Man Su was driving his donkey cart back home, he happened to see the couple who had caused trouble at home before, dragging two little girls towards the slave market.

Old Man Su thought that the family had kidnapped two girls and was going to sell them, so he hurried over with his three sons and Su Muyao in their arms to intercept them.

Only Su Muyao recognized the two little girls at a glance and they must be her sisters.

As soon as I got closer, I heard the man yelling at one of the older girls: "Get out of here, you bitches. What's the point of having you? You can't even take care of your brother, so I might as well sell you for money."

Daya pulled her sister and tried hard to walk, she had no intention of begging for mercy.

Whether I am sold to others as a laborer or become a servant, at least I can have something to eat, which is better than living in my current home.

Erya was a little exhausted at this time. She hadn't eaten for three days.
