Da Jin
Chapter 28 Highlight Moment
On the second day, Sima Yu had never expected to go to court earlier than today.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, looking forward to the dawn.
Then he waited in the Golden Palace for the officials to finish dealing with today's affairs.
"Banan County came to report that this year's harvest is [-]% more than last year's."
Under such a severe locust plague, it is really rare to have an extra [-]% harvest.
"Tsk tsk, the long-term peace and stability of Banan County is my great fortune."
"Thanks to the Queen Mother and Lord Ming."
Sima Yu thought to himself, it started again, but there is no way, other people can do it, and no one can deny the credit to Da Jin.
But it doesn't matter, he can be praised immediately.
At this time, in the Longqing Palace, the old emperor called a little father-in-law next to him and asked, "Your Majesty went to the Golden Palace to show off?"
The little father-in-law nodded with a smile, "The preparations started early in the morning."
A lot of wheat was planted outside the Longqing Hall of the old emperor, and he couldn't hide what happened.
He also watched how Sima Yu and those people in Zhiqin Palace planted these things every day.
All the officials in the court also knew that something was planted in the palace, but they were not very clear about the specifics.
The old emperor sighed a little, "Finally did a decent thing."
Thinking about those crops, if he hadn't watched them grow every now and then, he would have thought it was auspicious.
"With Keji on the side to teach, it is impossible for Yu'er and those incompetent boys to grow crooked."
After thinking about it, "It's an understatement to let self-denial teach, and Prime Minister Zuo has mentioned it many times."
"Let's see if there is a suitable position..."
The old emperor took it seriously and planned to let Zhou Fuli take up another job.
In the Golden Palace, Sima Yu finally looked forward to the time when he would soon go down to court.
Hundreds of officials are preparing to go down.
At this time, Sima Yu, who had been silent since the last court until now, said, "Wait a minute, gentlemen, the melons and fruits I planted in the palace have just ripened, and I just took them to share with you."
Sima Yu tried his best not to express the little excitement in his heart too much, otherwise those noble old officials would have to say that he was disrespectful and disrespectful.
It's thanks to him facing Zhou Fuli every day, and learned a thing or two about the disapproval expression of his relatives.
Zhou Fuli glanced at Sima Yu, and there were only two words in his mind, to be fine.
The officials couldn't help being stunned, His Majesty wanted to share some melons and fruits, and they couldn't refuse.
It's just that many officials think, why does the little emperor spend all his time pondering about these things, don't he never know how to care about their great Jin country?
I have to say that if you have a bad impression of a person at the beginning, no matter what the other person does, you will think it is wrong.
If the old emperor did this, they might think completely differently.
Sima Yu couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand.
Eunuch Hong next to him immediately asked a few young eunuchs who had prepared to carry the things up.
It was indeed lifted. Two little father-in-laws were in a group, carrying a tray in their hands. On the tray was a big ball, which looked heavy and was covered with a cloth.
All the officials couldn't help being taken aback, why are they still covering it with cloth?Which play is this Your Majesty playing?
At this time, Sima Yu said: "This is the first melon I'm going to invite you to eat, a melon as big as a washbasin."
What?
I'm afraid His Majesty is not talking nonsense, there is no melon as big as a washbasin in the world.
Even several prime ministers frowned, how could they speak such nonsense in front of all the officials?
If these words are not answered, His Majesty may not be able to step down today.
But immediately, everyone's eyes straightened.
Because Sima Yu personally tore off the cloth on the tray, revealing the big watermelon on it.
"what?"
The hall was lively.
"what is this?"
It is perfectly round, smooth and green in appearance, with distinct patterns. It looks like a big green gemstone, but this gemstone is actually a bit bigger.
Several prime ministers and assistants could not help but surround him.
"It's really a melon."
In the past, there were local mediocre officials who changed the color of messy things and called themselves auspicious tributes, which made a lot of jokes.
"It's too big."
Praise and praise.
At this time Sima Yu had already taken a knife and started cutting melons.
With a knife down, you can hear the sound of the melon splitting.
A few more cuts were made, revealing the extremely beautiful red flesh inside. The red color looked particularly delicious under the light.
"The left side eats melons and melons."
"Right Prime Minister, Da Sikong, Taiwei... eat melons and melons."
Sima Yu smiled and handed the cut melon to everyone who hadn't reacted yet.
Zhou Fuli thought in his heart, let's see what the little emperor looks like, but these watermelons are indeed planted by the little emperor and his team, and now they have harvested it, it's up to them to pluck it.
Zhou Fuli took a sip, and his mouth was full of sweetness, with plenty of water. In the summer, especially when his mouth is dry after the Great Court Meeting, it is really comfortable to take a sip. It would be even better if it can be chilled for a while.
It's a breed he's familiar with.
It was the smell he was familiar with.
This melon is growing fairly well.
These watermelons were the first batch to ripen. Zhou Fuli tasted them with Sima Yu and the others yesterday. Sima Yu watched them ripen every day, and made them show off as soon as they were ripe.
The several prime ministers and assistant ministers were personally divided by Sima Yu, which was relatively large.
Others get a smaller share.
As soon as I put it in my mouth, my eyes narrowed due to the sweetness.
"So sweet."
They also have fruits in Dajin, but this is the first time I have seen such a sweet and plentiful fruit.
In summer, there is no fruit better than a big watermelon, especially in ancient times without air conditioning, this watermelon can feel comfortable to the soul.
"I heard that the imperial palace has now become a vegetable field. I thought it was just some ordinary vegetables..."
There was a lot of discussion.
At this time Sima Yu started, "Everyone, is watermelon delicious? Such a watermelon has hundreds of seeds, and more watermelons will be planted next year. It won't be long before I can eat such a good watermelon." Eat melon."
"It is indeed a good thing. If it is promoted, it will benefit the people of Dajin."
"The fruit is huge, just one is enough for a family to eat."
"If people can also eat it, it will be a good thing for people's livelihood."
Wang Yong said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Baiguan was taken aback for a moment, and then congratulated.
It's just that there are too few watermelons, and I haven't eaten enough.
Sima Yu was stunned, it was the first time that all the officials congratulated him in this golden hall.
He could wag his tail, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Fuli, but Zhou Fuli stood up straight, calm and unshakable.
Now Sima Yu had to introduce other melons and fruits, and he didn't have time to greet the heartless Zhou Fuli.
With a big wave of his hand, "Come and see the second and third kinds of melons and fruits I planted."
Everyone was stunned, what else?And two together?
Zhou Fuli smiled in his heart, heh, Sima Yu has been suppressed for so long recently, how can it be possible not to let him make a fuss.
This time, cucumbers and loofahs were taken out, which were also covered with cloth, which was mysterious.
The difference was that, apart from the crisp cucumbers and arm-length loofahs, there were also quite a few plates that contained sliced cucumbers and boiled loofahs.
Zhou Fuli's green onions, ginger and garlic are all grown in the palace, and the ingredients are complete. The cucumbers are made perfectly, and the loofah is especially silky when eaten with seasoning.
"This is cucumber and loofah, please try it."
The prepared little father-in-law has already brought the plate to Baiguan, and there are bamboo sticks on it, and one or two yuan can be eaten with it inserted. It is impossible for one person to have one plate.
Even Zhou Fuli likes the taste of cucumber.
It would be even better if the loofah can be fried and eaten, but Dajin food is mainly steamed and boiled, so it can only be a compromise.
Sima Yu was having fun, but the critic came.
"It is true that they are all good things, but my Dajin has always had scarce arable land, and there is not enough food to grow. Where can I get the land to grow these things?"
Such as waking up the dreamer with one word, it made many officials wake up.
The crops they planted in the arable land of Dajin are barely enough to eat. If they are used to grow these, they may not have enough food.
Zhou Fuli even looked up. In fact, these things don’t take up much land at all. Loofahs can be planted near the house without consuming arable land at all. Cucumbers can be planted on the ridge of the field with very little land. I like sand and gravel land. The places that were not suitable for farming before can be reclaimed. Anyway, there are ways to solve them.
But he wasn't worried that Sima Yu wouldn't be able to deal with it, because Sima Yu still kept Wang Zha.
He can be sure that once Wang Bo explodes, everyone will have to shut up.
Sure enough, the corners of Sima Yu's mouth were raised upwards, and no one can prevent him from being praised like Sima Luming today.
All the officials in the court, even if they didn't look up to him before, they still have to praise him today.
Sima Yu said, "Take out the rest."
"Our Dajin lacks arable land, and the yield of wheat as the main food is far lower than that of other neighboring countries. In addition, the locust plague has made our Dajin weaker than other countries..."
"Da Qi has invaded our Great Jin many times, Great Wei has been eyeing us, and Daliao has forced us to pay tributes of food every year. Our Da Jin is weak and humiliated to the point where we cannot refuse..."
"The root of all this is because I am very poor, and even life is very difficult, so how can I resist foreign enemies..."
"Since our founding, we have never thought of any solution to these problems..."
Seeing Sima Yu talking eloquently, several prime ministers and assistant ministers were a little lost in thought.
In their minds, the emperor seems to be a little different.
In fact, do some ministers really have such a big prejudice against Sima Yu?They are loyal to the Supreme Emperor, not the Queen Mother.
The reason why they are not optimistic about Sima Yu, like other ministers, is that if the Great Jin is handed over to such an emperor, they are afraid that the Great Jin will perish.
Zhou Fuli also glanced at Sima Yu in surprise, no wonder he has been sticking to himself to analyze the situation of various countries for him these days.
I just don't know how many minutes I can last.
But at least for now, only Sima Yu's voice remained in the entire Golden Palace.
Sima Luming looked at Sima Yu thoughtfully, then at Zhou Fuli, and frowned. This way of speaking was so familiar...
Sima Yu was indeed imitating Zhou Fuli's tone when he analyzed the situation in various countries.
Sima Yu continued, "Is my Dajin going to be weak like this? Doesn't my Dajin have a way to increase food production?"
The officials couldn't help being taken aback, what does His Majesty mean by saying this now?
Sima Yu's voice sank, "No, what I want to say is that from today onwards, our Dajin will have a higher yield of grain than Dawei Daqi, and our Dajin's wheat production will also be higher than that of Linguo."
There is a sound.
The scene was so quiet that it was estimated that a mosquito could hear the flapping of its wings.
More productive grain than Wei Daqi?Is the yield of wheat higher than that of Linguo?
Could it be that their ears heard it wrong?
What a shocking thing this is, even if you listen to it, you feel incredible.
Several prime ministers and auxiliary officials were a little confused by what Sima Yu said.
Without even reacting, Sima Yu opened the last two baskets covered with cloth with a swipe.
"Masters of the Great Jin Dynasty, look at this basket. The thing inside is called potatoes. It is a new kind of grain. It can be used as a staple food when necessary. Its output... is as high as a thousand catties per mu..."
In fact, the production capacity per mu of potatoes in modern times reaches [-] to [-]. Now, after all, only plant ash is used, and the output has dropped a lot.
"Potatoes also have very low requirements for arable land, even barren sandy land can be cultivated."
These were all notes he took during class, and Zhou Fuli explained them very clearly.
The entire Golden Palace couldn't hear what Sima Yu was saying.
My mind is full of, can be a staple food, yield a thousand catties per mu...
It was like a thunderbolt directly in the mind, so that they couldn't hear anything else at all.
"You...what did you say!" Even Wang Yong lost his composure.
Then there's the huge business of others, "That's impossible!"
It seemed that only such a loud sound could shake them out of their current trance.
Now no one cares whether it is inappropriate or not.
Zhou Fuli also sighed, he completely understood why these people lost their composure.
Yield per mu is a thousand catties, in Zhou Fuli's opinion, it is not even considered a qualified yield, but to the people of Dajin, it is like the dawn of hope.
This means that they don't have to be hungry in the future...
How sad, but Dajin is like this now, there was a year that he didn't spend hungry.
Like little stools, they are still a group of children, but they can only eat six or seven percent of their full meal. Is it because their parents don’t love them?
No, their parents ate more frugally than they did.
Zhou Fuli is not a saint, but watching a group of poor children who can't even eat enough, watching a group of simple villagers struggling to survive, even a heart made of iron and stone will be touched.
That's why he didn't hesitate to take out the contents of the truck as seeds and teach a group of students how to plant them.
He felt that there was nothing noble or not, it was just the most basic human nature of a person.
Sima Yu's words blew up all the civil and military courts as if they were bombed.
But his voice didn't stop, "Look at this basket of wheat ears again. Each plant is about the size of two fingers, and the grains are full. This is the result of using plant ash and rich soil. The initial estimate is that the yield per mu is about 400 catties... "
The yield of 400 per mu is too low in Zhou Fuli's opinion, but there is no way. These wheat seeds are from Dajin, and the grains are small. Before special cultivation, even if it is planted scientifically, it will be like this, but it is still higher than before. nearly doubled.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is quite astonishing.
As soon as the words fell, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" screamed and rushed towards the two baskets.
Sima Yu was taken aback.
The few people who rushed to the basket were so excited that tears filled their eyes, "This is... is this true?"
"I won't be hungry after Dajin?" The voice was trembling.
It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that you will not be hungry immediately. For example, no matter how high-yielding potatoes are, there are only seeds, and they must be continuously expanded year after year.
On the contrary, planting wheat with plant ash and fertile soil can be implemented as soon as possible. For the entire Dajin, this is something that will have immediate results.
In the Golden Palace, especially some old officials, their eyes are moist. They have lived a long time and have seen too many tragedies, and the scenes of the past are all in their minds.
Even now they couldn't be sure if what they heard was true, but they still couldn't help but wipe their eyes.
"Your Majesty, is what you said true?" Wang Yong looked at Sima Yu so seriously.
Then all the officials looked at Sima Yu seriously one by one.
Even if it's a lie, it's okay to lie to them for a while.
The good wishes for Da Jin's abundance of food and clothing are almost engraved in everyone's bones. They are the parents and officials of Da Jin, and their duty is to lead the people of Da Jin to have enough food, clothing and warmth to live a good life.
Sima Yu said in a deep voice, "This year, I and my companions from the Zhiqin Palace have been cultivating the crops provided by the Taifu. I know every grain of grain clearly, and there is absolutely no falsehood in what I say."
Qi Shushu looked at Zhou Fuli. They might not believe Sima Yu's words, but they believed Zhou Fuli's words.
Their eyes were red and their hands were trembling. They couldn't believe it, but they were full of expectation.
Zhou Fuli nodded, without even saying a word, he knew that what these people needed now was his affirmative promise.
"Ugh..."
Someone actually fell to the ground and cried.
These are tears of joy.
The whining sound became one piece.
This is the Golden Palace, the most sacred place in the Jin Dynasty, but at the moment no one feels that they are disrespectful.
No one tried to persuade them, because this kind of venting was needed at this moment.
These things are so important to them.
There are indeed many officials in the Jin Dynasty who can be called "parental officials", who think about what the people think and feel sorry for the people.
Zhou Fuli looked at the various forms on the Golden Palace. Today may be the most meaningful day for him in this era.
And his group of students, complete playboys, have never done farm work, never suffered, but why can they persevere?How to grow these grains so well?
Didn't Zhou Fuli let them see the hope in it, as long as these grains are grown, they can stand in the most dazzling place without being ignored by anyone.
When the mood in the Golden Palace stabilized a bit, a father-in-law on duty said in a loud voice, "Young Prince Sima Hehua from Prince Xuanzong's Mansion has an audience..."
"An audience with Zhangyilang Mo Sinan from the Industrial Department of Xuanda's Sikong Mansion, an audience with Yuninglang, the governor of Luoyang County in Xuantai Wei's Mansion, an audience with Song Ciwei, the chief of the imperial guards in Xuanda..."
The calls are loud and high-pitched, but no one thinks it is long.
For those who are called at this time are honored, and they deserve it.
Zhou Fuli looked at the students who came in one by one. Except for Mo Sinan and the others, there were many others who were all students from Zhiqin Palace. During this year, the crops in the palace were irrigated by their sweat.
They have this qualification to stand on the golden palace of the Great Jin today. No matter what their future is, at least at this moment, even if they face the civil and military officials of the Great Jin, they can hold their heads high.
It's just that Sima Hehua is so strong, it's a bit funny no matter how you look at it.
Most of their parents are also in the hall, some of them are complicated and some are gratified, and their tastes are different.
At such a young age, even the direct descendants of the family are not eligible to go up to the Golden Palace. Unexpectedly, the companion who was randomly stuffed from home to the side of His Majesty, would go up to the Golden Palace first.
Sima Yu also stood up straight. This is definitely the brightest moment since he entered the palace in the past three years.
Looking at these accompanying readers, he kept winking, straightened his waist, raised his head, and there was no shortage of faces in Zhiqin Hall.
"Where is the servant of the official department?" Sima Yu returned to the dragon chair. He could not speak while sitting on the dragon chair before, but at least today, no one can stop him from speaking.
"Record their merits in the book, and choose a day to reward them for their merits."
The servant of the official department came out, "here."
This is a necessary process, and Sima Yu actually read it step by step.
When he finished reading, the people below couldn't wait any longer, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and have a look at the crops and food planted."
Although they believed that Zhou Fuli would not be able to deceive them, and although His Majesty had placed several baskets in front of them, they couldn't help but want to take a look.
That kind of emotional turmoil could not be calmed down for a while.
Sima Yu said, "All the students of Zhiqin Palace, bring your ministers and go with me."
He knew that these old officials would not scatter eagles until they saw a rabbit.
"Father, do you see that I planted this land, and I didn't even water it with someone else's hands. Look at how well this little cucumber grows." Walking on the road in the palace, Zhiqin Palace The students began to introduce it excitedly.
He was slapped on the head with just a sudden slap, "Take us to see potatoes and wheat."
Although these things are good, they are nothing compared to the potatoes and wheat that are crucial to Dajin.
Along the way, the fence on the side of the road was covered with cucumber vines, and the cucumbers of different sizes underneath looked particularly gratifying.
There are also loofah vines above the head, which cover the sun and form a green path. The loofahs on the top are also specially placed on the shelf, for fear that the whole vine will be damaged.
The entire palace has completely become a paradise for melons and fruits.
The officials were so dumbfounded.
Even if there are some palaces that lack repairs, they don't seem to have a lot of vitality.
When they walked to the potato field, the old officials didn't dislike their old arms and legs at all, they bent over and pulled the potato vines out.
The soil was hoeed very loose by the students, and this time they pulled out several potatoes with vines attached to them, of different sizes, the big ones were bigger than a fist, and the small ones were not bad.
The corners of the students' mouths twitched, "Potatoes are not pulled out like this, they have to be dug with a hoe."
No matter how loose the soil is, it is impossible to eat all the potatoes in a nest.
"Don't bring the hoes yet." A group of old officials were not polite at all, and they didn't dislike the dirt at all. If they took off their official uniforms at this moment, they would look more like old farmers in the field.
When I got the hoe, I dug into the ground, and sure enough, big and round potatoes rolled out, rolling all over the ground, which was really gratifying to watch.
"That's too much, let's see how many have been dug up from this litter."
"The portion is not light. I just picked one up and tried it. The portion is very substantial."
"Are you from the Ministry of Agriculture? Come and estimate, what is the yield of this mu."
The people in the Ministry of Agriculture said that they were all pushed out by you, and now they know how to call them.
Quickly squeezed in to have a look, took the potatoes and weighed them, "If it's really like this litter, what Your Majesty said about the yield of one thousand catties per mu would be less."
wow.
It is true that the yield per mu is a thousand catties, and it may even be more than that.
Some old officials hurriedly went to other places to dig, and the output of each litter was not much different.
"This is the true auspiciousness. If we plant a large number of Dajin, there is no possibility of starvation."
"It's just that these are used for breeding, which is still too little for the whole Dajin."
But being able to see hope has already made a group of people happy.
Then go to the wheat field.
Before I got there, I saw a piece of yellow and orange.
The old officials didn't care about their image and almost ran over.
He skillfully held the ears of wheat in his hand and rubbed them, put them in his palm to see the size, and then stuffed them into his mouth.
"The grains of wheat are really big."
"It's rare that almost all the ears of wheat have such large grains."
It can be seen that His Majesty did not pick out the beautiful ears of wheat in the wheat field to show them just now.
The people from the Ministry of Agriculture also hurriedly said, "Look at this piece of land, there is no problem with the yield of 400 per mu."
Everyone: "..."
How much they envied Wei Wei before, because they had a high yield of wheat, 300 per mu.
But now, what they envied before was completely outmatched by them.
I rubbed some wheat and put it in my mouth, just like eating some delicious food.
All the officials looked at it all the way, but they were all reluctant to leave. No matter how many times they saw such a scene, they were reluctant to part with it.
Sima Yu simply asked someone to prepare some firewood for the officials to bake potatoes. He said that these potatoes could be a staple food, and these old officials hadn't tasted them yet.
I found a place and lit a few fires in the open air, and stuffed potatoes into the fires.
They have baked and eaten it themselves, and the taste is very satisfying.
It's just these old officials, they have to let them bake the small potatoes, and the big ones say they want to keep them as seeds, but they are reluctant to eat them.
Such a big battle, even the old emperor came over to participate in high spirits.
"It's been a long time since our monarchs and ministers have had such a happy time."
The eyes of a group of old officials are moist.
The other young officials were even more flattered.
"Hiss, these potatoes taste so good."
The student next to him hurriedly said, "And potatoes are very easy to store."
How happy a hungry person can eat a meal of potatoes.
"It can be used as a staple food."
Just eating too much makes you thirsty.
Then he went to the watermelon field to pick some watermelons and brought them over. The old official ate that... It made Sima Yu feel disgusted and indecent.
Some students even secretly sent a message to their father, "Dad, I planted those watermelon fields. When the watermelon is ripe, I will pick it for you."
Today is a happy day. '
Because of his weak health, the old emperor went back after chatting for a while.
Sima Yu and Baiguan were left to chat until the evening.
Tsk tsk tsk, it's not that I didn't care to chat with him before, but now I'm overtaken by him.
Look at how kind the emperor is.
He winked and asked the painter next to him to draw it quickly, so that he could use this painting to flirt with him in the future.
The historian in the distance picked up a pen and was silently recording something.
This "feast" lasted until evening, and all the officials left reluctantly.
The melons and fruits are fragrant, and the palace seems to them to be completely different now.
After most of the people had left, Sima Yu smiled very wickedly, Zhou Fuli?He has to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and Zhou Fuli will give him whatever official he wants.
Feeling a little floaty.
Looking around, he didn't see Zhou Fuli's figure at all.
He couldn't help but ask Eunuch Hong beside him, "Where did Zhou Fuli go?"
Eunuch Hong replied, "The little sage didn't follow him in, and left when he went down to court."
Sima Yu thought to himself, oh, Zhou Fuli just likes to be quiet, so if he didn't follow, he didn't follow.
But within two steps, he suddenly thought of something, his body trembled, and he looked at Eunuch Hong suddenly, "I don't seem to have seen Sima Luming, when did he leave?"
Don't be what he thinks.
"The little sage didn't leave for long, and Lord Ming followed him out."
Bang, Sima Yu almost staggered.
"Prepare the car, prepare the car, I'm going to Taifu's mansion."
Zhou Fuli did leave when Sima Yu took all the officials to see the crops. He waited for a while when he went out. Before, his little father-in-law stopped him from leaving the palace and asked him to go to Zhiqin Palace.
But after waiting for a while, seeing that no one came to stop him, he left directly.
He did have something to do today.
A few days ago, the old grandpa of the Zhou Mansion in Jinling asked people to send a lot of things. This happens every year, and I can't persuade them.
There is a lot of glutinous rice among them, and only Jinling grows glutinous rice. It is probably because he is afraid that he will miss his hometown, so he sent it all the way from thousands of miles, which is also intentional.
It just so happened that a group of children from Xiaobaneng were going back and forth in the village outside Luoyang to drive ducks and kill locusts, and sometimes they had to live in Taifu's mansion.
Zhou Fuli thought about how hard these children were, so he simply made maltose out of glutinous rice and wheat for them to eat.
Maltose played a very important role in ancient times. It can be said that for a long time, maltose was the most economical sugar in ancient times.
There are often hawkers who carry the burden and sell in the streets and alleys.
Today just happened to be the time to mold those maltose he made.
"During Chinese New Year, my mother bought candy for me. It was very delicious." Tie Dan said proudly.
The little bench is only envious, because he has never eaten candy.
Sugar is scarce in Dajin, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford it.
Zhou Fuli smiled, "I'll let you eat enough today."
The malt candy he made was still a little sticky, so he made half a bowl for each child.
A group of children were overjoyed after eating, "It turns out that sugar is so delicious."
"Hee hee, so sticky."
At this time, Sima Luming came to Taifu's residence.
Looking at the children in Yifu, I was surprised for a while.
Zhou Fuli did not expect that at this time, his most proud student would come to his door.
The next time they agreed to meet to reminisce about the old days, the span between them was too long, and Sima Luming hadn't even gone to Banan County at that time.
After returning from Banan County, I went around in circles and never met alone.
Sima Luming is very easy-going, and the expression on his face has an involuntarily friendly temperament.
Zhou Fuli also filled a bowl with half a bowl of maltose for Sima Luming.
The two chatted, but in fact, it was mostly a small talk.
At first, Zhou Fuli thought that Sima Luming just came to visit his teacher because he hadn't seen him for three years.
But suddenly, Sima Luming lowered his head, ate some malt candy and said, "They are all the teacher's students. Why is the teacher so partial? Speaking of which, I became the teacher's student earlier than him."
Zhou Fuli was stunned, and looked up at the other party.
"Children's funds, wool, and today's potatoes, wheat..."
Zhou Fuli: "..."
Sima Luming came to test, he was testing whether he was biased towards Sima Yu.
Why would a little sage who is impossible to cling to the powerful and who only recognizes truth and right or wrong favor Sima Yu? Maybe he also came to find the answer.
He was not polite and asked directly.
Zhou Fuli didn't answer, why did he prefer Sima Yu?It's just self-protection, it's just trying to survive.
But if he answered this way, the other party would never believe it.
In fact, even Zhou Fuli himself didn't realize that he had such a serious relationship with Sima Yu.
He once taught Sima Yu to recruit those accompanying students to join him. The deeper the entanglement, the harder it would be for him to quit in the future.
This is not the case for him now.
Zhou Fuli was silent, not knowing how to answer best.
At this time, Sima Luming probably saw that Zhou Fuli did not answer, so he lowered his head and said, "The students see that this candy is good, why don't you give the formula of this candy to the students?"
Zhou Fuli's eyes narrowed.
Although Sima Luming didn't say it clearly, Zhou Fuli guessed what the other party meant.
As a student, if a bowl of water is level and you give Sima Yu that much, then give him the same thing.
If not, then Sima Luming also got the answer he wanted to know, the little sage of Dajin, his former teacher favored Sima Yu.
It's really not sloppy, clever language, neither hurting feelings, but also able to get the answer he wanted.
Zhou Fuli thought for a while, I believe Sima Luming knew the importance of sugar to Da Jin, so he asked him to answer with the formula of sugar.
Because sugar represented a huge amount of wealth, if Zhou Fuli favored Sima Yu, he would never give it to him.
Zhou Fuli said, "If the Supreme Emperor agrees, it's okay to give you the formula."
The Supreme Emperor should collect the sugar as the national treasury, Zhou Fuli thought, the Supreme Emperor should know better than anyone else about such a large wealth, and it is not easy for others to control it.
Sima Luming glanced at Zhou Fuli, noncommittal.
Then chatted for a few words, and then left.
After Sima Luming left Taifu's mansion, he really went to the palace to find the old emperor
The old emperor felt guilty about this adopted son. The eldest prince he proclaimed himself, the crown prince of Jin Dynasty, did not make any mistakes, and even did better than anyone else.
But in order to make way for others, he had to be trapped in the mansion for three years.
The old emperor always felt that he owed Sima Luming when he saw Sima Luming.
"Father, I saw a very satisfactory formula from the teacher just now, and I want to take it back and run it myself..."
The old emperor thought to himself, is it the recipe for skewers?
Without thinking, he nodded.
Sima Luming was a little stunned, and was about to speak, when the old emperor ordered a few words, and then called someone to send him out.
He still doesn't know how to deal with people who are in debt.
Sima Luming still said outside the hall, "It's the recipe for sugar."
The old emperor was taken aback for a moment, and finally waved his hand without saying anything.
The formula of sugar should be very difficult, even if it is expensive, it will not affect anything, so let it be the compensation for these three years.
Zhou Fuli did not expect Sima Luming to come back so quickly, and what surprised him even more was that the old emperor agreed.
He can't take back what he said.
When Sima Luming left, his face was obviously much happier than when he came, and his teacher hadn't favored others.
Not long after Sima Luming left, Sima Yu rushed in.
Zhou Fuli had a headache, how can this be done.
Sima Yu kept looking around with his eyes sideways, and he was relieved that he didn't see anyone else.
Zhou Fuli looked at Sima Yu with a strange expression. He wondered if the old emperor suddenly wanted to change the person in that position, and actually agreed to give Sima Luming the formula for the sugar.
Zhou Fuli was a little worried about Sima Yu. Facing enemies with money and brains, how would this kid live in the future.
At this time, the little bench walked in with his bowl in his hands, "Little saint, little saint, I spooned some sugar myself just now."
Just now the little sage said that he still wanted to eat candy and spoon it himself, but he felt that he had to say something.
Sima Yu looked at the candy in the bowl on the small bench, he had never seen such candy.
Then his eyes became hot, and he leaned over, "Zhou Fuli, this thing is a good thing, why don't you give it to me, I'll agree to whatever you want."
Sugar is a good thing, how much money does it cost.
Tsk tsk, buy whatever Zhou Fuli wants to buy for him in the future, and give him whatever official he wants to be.
Anyway, they are all on his team, Zhou Fuli must be towards him, look at the compliments he received today from all the officials, isn't it also because of Zhou Fuli.
Think about it all Xinfu.
Zhou Fuli sighed a little, because soon he would not be at peace.
replied,
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, looking forward to the dawn.
Then he waited in the Golden Palace for the officials to finish dealing with today's affairs.
"Banan County came to report that this year's harvest is [-]% more than last year's."
Under such a severe locust plague, it is really rare to have an extra [-]% harvest.
"Tsk tsk, the long-term peace and stability of Banan County is my great fortune."
"Thanks to the Queen Mother and Lord Ming."
Sima Yu thought to himself, it started again, but there is no way, other people can do it, and no one can deny the credit to Da Jin.
But it doesn't matter, he can be praised immediately.
At this time, in the Longqing Palace, the old emperor called a little father-in-law next to him and asked, "Your Majesty went to the Golden Palace to show off?"
The little father-in-law nodded with a smile, "The preparations started early in the morning."
A lot of wheat was planted outside the Longqing Hall of the old emperor, and he couldn't hide what happened.
He also watched how Sima Yu and those people in Zhiqin Palace planted these things every day.
All the officials in the court also knew that something was planted in the palace, but they were not very clear about the specifics.
The old emperor sighed a little, "Finally did a decent thing."
Thinking about those crops, if he hadn't watched them grow every now and then, he would have thought it was auspicious.
"With Keji on the side to teach, it is impossible for Yu'er and those incompetent boys to grow crooked."
After thinking about it, "It's an understatement to let self-denial teach, and Prime Minister Zuo has mentioned it many times."
"Let's see if there is a suitable position..."
The old emperor took it seriously and planned to let Zhou Fuli take up another job.
In the Golden Palace, Sima Yu finally looked forward to the time when he would soon go down to court.
Hundreds of officials are preparing to go down.
At this time, Sima Yu, who had been silent since the last court until now, said, "Wait a minute, gentlemen, the melons and fruits I planted in the palace have just ripened, and I just took them to share with you."
Sima Yu tried his best not to express the little excitement in his heart too much, otherwise those noble old officials would have to say that he was disrespectful and disrespectful.
It's thanks to him facing Zhou Fuli every day, and learned a thing or two about the disapproval expression of his relatives.
Zhou Fuli glanced at Sima Yu, and there were only two words in his mind, to be fine.
The officials couldn't help being stunned, His Majesty wanted to share some melons and fruits, and they couldn't refuse.
It's just that many officials think, why does the little emperor spend all his time pondering about these things, don't he never know how to care about their great Jin country?
I have to say that if you have a bad impression of a person at the beginning, no matter what the other person does, you will think it is wrong.
If the old emperor did this, they might think completely differently.
Sima Yu couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand.
Eunuch Hong next to him immediately asked a few young eunuchs who had prepared to carry the things up.
It was indeed lifted. Two little father-in-laws were in a group, carrying a tray in their hands. On the tray was a big ball, which looked heavy and was covered with a cloth.
All the officials couldn't help being taken aback, why are they still covering it with cloth?Which play is this Your Majesty playing?
At this time, Sima Yu said: "This is the first melon I'm going to invite you to eat, a melon as big as a washbasin."
What?
I'm afraid His Majesty is not talking nonsense, there is no melon as big as a washbasin in the world.
Even several prime ministers frowned, how could they speak such nonsense in front of all the officials?
If these words are not answered, His Majesty may not be able to step down today.
But immediately, everyone's eyes straightened.
Because Sima Yu personally tore off the cloth on the tray, revealing the big watermelon on it.
"what?"
The hall was lively.
"what is this?"
It is perfectly round, smooth and green in appearance, with distinct patterns. It looks like a big green gemstone, but this gemstone is actually a bit bigger.
Several prime ministers and assistants could not help but surround him.
"It's really a melon."
In the past, there were local mediocre officials who changed the color of messy things and called themselves auspicious tributes, which made a lot of jokes.
"It's too big."
Praise and praise.
At this time Sima Yu had already taken a knife and started cutting melons.
With a knife down, you can hear the sound of the melon splitting.
A few more cuts were made, revealing the extremely beautiful red flesh inside. The red color looked particularly delicious under the light.
"The left side eats melons and melons."
"Right Prime Minister, Da Sikong, Taiwei... eat melons and melons."
Sima Yu smiled and handed the cut melon to everyone who hadn't reacted yet.
Zhou Fuli thought in his heart, let's see what the little emperor looks like, but these watermelons are indeed planted by the little emperor and his team, and now they have harvested it, it's up to them to pluck it.
Zhou Fuli took a sip, and his mouth was full of sweetness, with plenty of water. In the summer, especially when his mouth is dry after the Great Court Meeting, it is really comfortable to take a sip. It would be even better if it can be chilled for a while.
It's a breed he's familiar with.
It was the smell he was familiar with.
This melon is growing fairly well.
These watermelons were the first batch to ripen. Zhou Fuli tasted them with Sima Yu and the others yesterday. Sima Yu watched them ripen every day, and made them show off as soon as they were ripe.
The several prime ministers and assistant ministers were personally divided by Sima Yu, which was relatively large.
Others get a smaller share.
As soon as I put it in my mouth, my eyes narrowed due to the sweetness.
"So sweet."
They also have fruits in Dajin, but this is the first time I have seen such a sweet and plentiful fruit.
In summer, there is no fruit better than a big watermelon, especially in ancient times without air conditioning, this watermelon can feel comfortable to the soul.
"I heard that the imperial palace has now become a vegetable field. I thought it was just some ordinary vegetables..."
There was a lot of discussion.
At this time Sima Yu started, "Everyone, is watermelon delicious? Such a watermelon has hundreds of seeds, and more watermelons will be planted next year. It won't be long before I can eat such a good watermelon." Eat melon."
"It is indeed a good thing. If it is promoted, it will benefit the people of Dajin."
"The fruit is huge, just one is enough for a family to eat."
"If people can also eat it, it will be a good thing for people's livelihood."
Wang Yong said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Baiguan was taken aback for a moment, and then congratulated.
It's just that there are too few watermelons, and I haven't eaten enough.
Sima Yu was stunned, it was the first time that all the officials congratulated him in this golden hall.
He could wag his tail, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Fuli, but Zhou Fuli stood up straight, calm and unshakable.
Now Sima Yu had to introduce other melons and fruits, and he didn't have time to greet the heartless Zhou Fuli.
With a big wave of his hand, "Come and see the second and third kinds of melons and fruits I planted."
Everyone was stunned, what else?And two together?
Zhou Fuli smiled in his heart, heh, Sima Yu has been suppressed for so long recently, how can it be possible not to let him make a fuss.
This time, cucumbers and loofahs were taken out, which were also covered with cloth, which was mysterious.
The difference was that, apart from the crisp cucumbers and arm-length loofahs, there were also quite a few plates that contained sliced cucumbers and boiled loofahs.
Zhou Fuli's green onions, ginger and garlic are all grown in the palace, and the ingredients are complete. The cucumbers are made perfectly, and the loofah is especially silky when eaten with seasoning.
"This is cucumber and loofah, please try it."
The prepared little father-in-law has already brought the plate to Baiguan, and there are bamboo sticks on it, and one or two yuan can be eaten with it inserted. It is impossible for one person to have one plate.
Even Zhou Fuli likes the taste of cucumber.
It would be even better if the loofah can be fried and eaten, but Dajin food is mainly steamed and boiled, so it can only be a compromise.
Sima Yu was having fun, but the critic came.
"It is true that they are all good things, but my Dajin has always had scarce arable land, and there is not enough food to grow. Where can I get the land to grow these things?"
Such as waking up the dreamer with one word, it made many officials wake up.
The crops they planted in the arable land of Dajin are barely enough to eat. If they are used to grow these, they may not have enough food.
Zhou Fuli even looked up. In fact, these things don’t take up much land at all. Loofahs can be planted near the house without consuming arable land at all. Cucumbers can be planted on the ridge of the field with very little land. I like sand and gravel land. The places that were not suitable for farming before can be reclaimed. Anyway, there are ways to solve them.
But he wasn't worried that Sima Yu wouldn't be able to deal with it, because Sima Yu still kept Wang Zha.
He can be sure that once Wang Bo explodes, everyone will have to shut up.
Sure enough, the corners of Sima Yu's mouth were raised upwards, and no one can prevent him from being praised like Sima Luming today.
All the officials in the court, even if they didn't look up to him before, they still have to praise him today.
Sima Yu said, "Take out the rest."
"Our Dajin lacks arable land, and the yield of wheat as the main food is far lower than that of other neighboring countries. In addition, the locust plague has made our Dajin weaker than other countries..."
"Da Qi has invaded our Great Jin many times, Great Wei has been eyeing us, and Daliao has forced us to pay tributes of food every year. Our Da Jin is weak and humiliated to the point where we cannot refuse..."
"The root of all this is because I am very poor, and even life is very difficult, so how can I resist foreign enemies..."
"Since our founding, we have never thought of any solution to these problems..."
Seeing Sima Yu talking eloquently, several prime ministers and assistant ministers were a little lost in thought.
In their minds, the emperor seems to be a little different.
In fact, do some ministers really have such a big prejudice against Sima Yu?They are loyal to the Supreme Emperor, not the Queen Mother.
The reason why they are not optimistic about Sima Yu, like other ministers, is that if the Great Jin is handed over to such an emperor, they are afraid that the Great Jin will perish.
Zhou Fuli also glanced at Sima Yu in surprise, no wonder he has been sticking to himself to analyze the situation of various countries for him these days.
I just don't know how many minutes I can last.
But at least for now, only Sima Yu's voice remained in the entire Golden Palace.
Sima Luming looked at Sima Yu thoughtfully, then at Zhou Fuli, and frowned. This way of speaking was so familiar...
Sima Yu was indeed imitating Zhou Fuli's tone when he analyzed the situation in various countries.
Sima Yu continued, "Is my Dajin going to be weak like this? Doesn't my Dajin have a way to increase food production?"
The officials couldn't help being taken aback, what does His Majesty mean by saying this now?
Sima Yu's voice sank, "No, what I want to say is that from today onwards, our Dajin will have a higher yield of grain than Dawei Daqi, and our Dajin's wheat production will also be higher than that of Linguo."
There is a sound.
The scene was so quiet that it was estimated that a mosquito could hear the flapping of its wings.
More productive grain than Wei Daqi?Is the yield of wheat higher than that of Linguo?
Could it be that their ears heard it wrong?
What a shocking thing this is, even if you listen to it, you feel incredible.
Several prime ministers and auxiliary officials were a little confused by what Sima Yu said.
Without even reacting, Sima Yu opened the last two baskets covered with cloth with a swipe.
"Masters of the Great Jin Dynasty, look at this basket. The thing inside is called potatoes. It is a new kind of grain. It can be used as a staple food when necessary. Its output... is as high as a thousand catties per mu..."
In fact, the production capacity per mu of potatoes in modern times reaches [-] to [-]. Now, after all, only plant ash is used, and the output has dropped a lot.
"Potatoes also have very low requirements for arable land, even barren sandy land can be cultivated."
These were all notes he took during class, and Zhou Fuli explained them very clearly.
The entire Golden Palace couldn't hear what Sima Yu was saying.
My mind is full of, can be a staple food, yield a thousand catties per mu...
It was like a thunderbolt directly in the mind, so that they couldn't hear anything else at all.
"You...what did you say!" Even Wang Yong lost his composure.
Then there's the huge business of others, "That's impossible!"
It seemed that only such a loud sound could shake them out of their current trance.
Now no one cares whether it is inappropriate or not.
Zhou Fuli also sighed, he completely understood why these people lost their composure.
Yield per mu is a thousand catties, in Zhou Fuli's opinion, it is not even considered a qualified yield, but to the people of Dajin, it is like the dawn of hope.
This means that they don't have to be hungry in the future...
How sad, but Dajin is like this now, there was a year that he didn't spend hungry.
Like little stools, they are still a group of children, but they can only eat six or seven percent of their full meal. Is it because their parents don’t love them?
No, their parents ate more frugally than they did.
Zhou Fuli is not a saint, but watching a group of poor children who can't even eat enough, watching a group of simple villagers struggling to survive, even a heart made of iron and stone will be touched.
That's why he didn't hesitate to take out the contents of the truck as seeds and teach a group of students how to plant them.
He felt that there was nothing noble or not, it was just the most basic human nature of a person.
Sima Yu's words blew up all the civil and military courts as if they were bombed.
But his voice didn't stop, "Look at this basket of wheat ears again. Each plant is about the size of two fingers, and the grains are full. This is the result of using plant ash and rich soil. The initial estimate is that the yield per mu is about 400 catties... "
The yield of 400 per mu is too low in Zhou Fuli's opinion, but there is no way. These wheat seeds are from Dajin, and the grains are small. Before special cultivation, even if it is planted scientifically, it will be like this, but it is still higher than before. nearly doubled.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is quite astonishing.
As soon as the words fell, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" screamed and rushed towards the two baskets.
Sima Yu was taken aback.
The few people who rushed to the basket were so excited that tears filled their eyes, "This is... is this true?"
"I won't be hungry after Dajin?" The voice was trembling.
It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that you will not be hungry immediately. For example, no matter how high-yielding potatoes are, there are only seeds, and they must be continuously expanded year after year.
On the contrary, planting wheat with plant ash and fertile soil can be implemented as soon as possible. For the entire Dajin, this is something that will have immediate results.
In the Golden Palace, especially some old officials, their eyes are moist. They have lived a long time and have seen too many tragedies, and the scenes of the past are all in their minds.
Even now they couldn't be sure if what they heard was true, but they still couldn't help but wipe their eyes.
"Your Majesty, is what you said true?" Wang Yong looked at Sima Yu so seriously.
Then all the officials looked at Sima Yu seriously one by one.
Even if it's a lie, it's okay to lie to them for a while.
The good wishes for Da Jin's abundance of food and clothing are almost engraved in everyone's bones. They are the parents and officials of Da Jin, and their duty is to lead the people of Da Jin to have enough food, clothing and warmth to live a good life.
Sima Yu said in a deep voice, "This year, I and my companions from the Zhiqin Palace have been cultivating the crops provided by the Taifu. I know every grain of grain clearly, and there is absolutely no falsehood in what I say."
Qi Shushu looked at Zhou Fuli. They might not believe Sima Yu's words, but they believed Zhou Fuli's words.
Their eyes were red and their hands were trembling. They couldn't believe it, but they were full of expectation.
Zhou Fuli nodded, without even saying a word, he knew that what these people needed now was his affirmative promise.
"Ugh..."
Someone actually fell to the ground and cried.
These are tears of joy.
The whining sound became one piece.
This is the Golden Palace, the most sacred place in the Jin Dynasty, but at the moment no one feels that they are disrespectful.
No one tried to persuade them, because this kind of venting was needed at this moment.
These things are so important to them.
There are indeed many officials in the Jin Dynasty who can be called "parental officials", who think about what the people think and feel sorry for the people.
Zhou Fuli looked at the various forms on the Golden Palace. Today may be the most meaningful day for him in this era.
And his group of students, complete playboys, have never done farm work, never suffered, but why can they persevere?How to grow these grains so well?
Didn't Zhou Fuli let them see the hope in it, as long as these grains are grown, they can stand in the most dazzling place without being ignored by anyone.
When the mood in the Golden Palace stabilized a bit, a father-in-law on duty said in a loud voice, "Young Prince Sima Hehua from Prince Xuanzong's Mansion has an audience..."
"An audience with Zhangyilang Mo Sinan from the Industrial Department of Xuanda's Sikong Mansion, an audience with Yuninglang, the governor of Luoyang County in Xuantai Wei's Mansion, an audience with Song Ciwei, the chief of the imperial guards in Xuanda..."
The calls are loud and high-pitched, but no one thinks it is long.
For those who are called at this time are honored, and they deserve it.
Zhou Fuli looked at the students who came in one by one. Except for Mo Sinan and the others, there were many others who were all students from Zhiqin Palace. During this year, the crops in the palace were irrigated by their sweat.
They have this qualification to stand on the golden palace of the Great Jin today. No matter what their future is, at least at this moment, even if they face the civil and military officials of the Great Jin, they can hold their heads high.
It's just that Sima Hehua is so strong, it's a bit funny no matter how you look at it.
Most of their parents are also in the hall, some of them are complicated and some are gratified, and their tastes are different.
At such a young age, even the direct descendants of the family are not eligible to go up to the Golden Palace. Unexpectedly, the companion who was randomly stuffed from home to the side of His Majesty, would go up to the Golden Palace first.
Sima Yu also stood up straight. This is definitely the brightest moment since he entered the palace in the past three years.
Looking at these accompanying readers, he kept winking, straightened his waist, raised his head, and there was no shortage of faces in Zhiqin Hall.
"Where is the servant of the official department?" Sima Yu returned to the dragon chair. He could not speak while sitting on the dragon chair before, but at least today, no one can stop him from speaking.
"Record their merits in the book, and choose a day to reward them for their merits."
The servant of the official department came out, "here."
This is a necessary process, and Sima Yu actually read it step by step.
When he finished reading, the people below couldn't wait any longer, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go and have a look at the crops and food planted."
Although they believed that Zhou Fuli would not be able to deceive them, and although His Majesty had placed several baskets in front of them, they couldn't help but want to take a look.
That kind of emotional turmoil could not be calmed down for a while.
Sima Yu said, "All the students of Zhiqin Palace, bring your ministers and go with me."
He knew that these old officials would not scatter eagles until they saw a rabbit.
"Father, do you see that I planted this land, and I didn't even water it with someone else's hands. Look at how well this little cucumber grows." Walking on the road in the palace, Zhiqin Palace The students began to introduce it excitedly.
He was slapped on the head with just a sudden slap, "Take us to see potatoes and wheat."
Although these things are good, they are nothing compared to the potatoes and wheat that are crucial to Dajin.
Along the way, the fence on the side of the road was covered with cucumber vines, and the cucumbers of different sizes underneath looked particularly gratifying.
There are also loofah vines above the head, which cover the sun and form a green path. The loofahs on the top are also specially placed on the shelf, for fear that the whole vine will be damaged.
The entire palace has completely become a paradise for melons and fruits.
The officials were so dumbfounded.
Even if there are some palaces that lack repairs, they don't seem to have a lot of vitality.
When they walked to the potato field, the old officials didn't dislike their old arms and legs at all, they bent over and pulled the potato vines out.
The soil was hoeed very loose by the students, and this time they pulled out several potatoes with vines attached to them, of different sizes, the big ones were bigger than a fist, and the small ones were not bad.
The corners of the students' mouths twitched, "Potatoes are not pulled out like this, they have to be dug with a hoe."
No matter how loose the soil is, it is impossible to eat all the potatoes in a nest.
"Don't bring the hoes yet." A group of old officials were not polite at all, and they didn't dislike the dirt at all. If they took off their official uniforms at this moment, they would look more like old farmers in the field.
When I got the hoe, I dug into the ground, and sure enough, big and round potatoes rolled out, rolling all over the ground, which was really gratifying to watch.
"That's too much, let's see how many have been dug up from this litter."
"The portion is not light. I just picked one up and tried it. The portion is very substantial."
"Are you from the Ministry of Agriculture? Come and estimate, what is the yield of this mu."
The people in the Ministry of Agriculture said that they were all pushed out by you, and now they know how to call them.
Quickly squeezed in to have a look, took the potatoes and weighed them, "If it's really like this litter, what Your Majesty said about the yield of one thousand catties per mu would be less."
wow.
It is true that the yield per mu is a thousand catties, and it may even be more than that.
Some old officials hurriedly went to other places to dig, and the output of each litter was not much different.
"This is the true auspiciousness. If we plant a large number of Dajin, there is no possibility of starvation."
"It's just that these are used for breeding, which is still too little for the whole Dajin."
But being able to see hope has already made a group of people happy.
Then go to the wheat field.
Before I got there, I saw a piece of yellow and orange.
The old officials didn't care about their image and almost ran over.
He skillfully held the ears of wheat in his hand and rubbed them, put them in his palm to see the size, and then stuffed them into his mouth.
"The grains of wheat are really big."
"It's rare that almost all the ears of wheat have such large grains."
It can be seen that His Majesty did not pick out the beautiful ears of wheat in the wheat field to show them just now.
The people from the Ministry of Agriculture also hurriedly said, "Look at this piece of land, there is no problem with the yield of 400 per mu."
Everyone: "..."
How much they envied Wei Wei before, because they had a high yield of wheat, 300 per mu.
But now, what they envied before was completely outmatched by them.
I rubbed some wheat and put it in my mouth, just like eating some delicious food.
All the officials looked at it all the way, but they were all reluctant to leave. No matter how many times they saw such a scene, they were reluctant to part with it.
Sima Yu simply asked someone to prepare some firewood for the officials to bake potatoes. He said that these potatoes could be a staple food, and these old officials hadn't tasted them yet.
I found a place and lit a few fires in the open air, and stuffed potatoes into the fires.
They have baked and eaten it themselves, and the taste is very satisfying.
It's just these old officials, they have to let them bake the small potatoes, and the big ones say they want to keep them as seeds, but they are reluctant to eat them.
Such a big battle, even the old emperor came over to participate in high spirits.
"It's been a long time since our monarchs and ministers have had such a happy time."
The eyes of a group of old officials are moist.
The other young officials were even more flattered.
"Hiss, these potatoes taste so good."
The student next to him hurriedly said, "And potatoes are very easy to store."
How happy a hungry person can eat a meal of potatoes.
"It can be used as a staple food."
Just eating too much makes you thirsty.
Then he went to the watermelon field to pick some watermelons and brought them over. The old official ate that... It made Sima Yu feel disgusted and indecent.
Some students even secretly sent a message to their father, "Dad, I planted those watermelon fields. When the watermelon is ripe, I will pick it for you."
Today is a happy day. '
Because of his weak health, the old emperor went back after chatting for a while.
Sima Yu and Baiguan were left to chat until the evening.
Tsk tsk tsk, it's not that I didn't care to chat with him before, but now I'm overtaken by him.
Look at how kind the emperor is.
He winked and asked the painter next to him to draw it quickly, so that he could use this painting to flirt with him in the future.
The historian in the distance picked up a pen and was silently recording something.
This "feast" lasted until evening, and all the officials left reluctantly.
The melons and fruits are fragrant, and the palace seems to them to be completely different now.
After most of the people had left, Sima Yu smiled very wickedly, Zhou Fuli?He has to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and Zhou Fuli will give him whatever official he wants.
Feeling a little floaty.
Looking around, he didn't see Zhou Fuli's figure at all.
He couldn't help but ask Eunuch Hong beside him, "Where did Zhou Fuli go?"
Eunuch Hong replied, "The little sage didn't follow him in, and left when he went down to court."
Sima Yu thought to himself, oh, Zhou Fuli just likes to be quiet, so if he didn't follow, he didn't follow.
But within two steps, he suddenly thought of something, his body trembled, and he looked at Eunuch Hong suddenly, "I don't seem to have seen Sima Luming, when did he leave?"
Don't be what he thinks.
"The little sage didn't leave for long, and Lord Ming followed him out."
Bang, Sima Yu almost staggered.
"Prepare the car, prepare the car, I'm going to Taifu's mansion."
Zhou Fuli did leave when Sima Yu took all the officials to see the crops. He waited for a while when he went out. Before, his little father-in-law stopped him from leaving the palace and asked him to go to Zhiqin Palace.
But after waiting for a while, seeing that no one came to stop him, he left directly.
He did have something to do today.
A few days ago, the old grandpa of the Zhou Mansion in Jinling asked people to send a lot of things. This happens every year, and I can't persuade them.
There is a lot of glutinous rice among them, and only Jinling grows glutinous rice. It is probably because he is afraid that he will miss his hometown, so he sent it all the way from thousands of miles, which is also intentional.
It just so happened that a group of children from Xiaobaneng were going back and forth in the village outside Luoyang to drive ducks and kill locusts, and sometimes they had to live in Taifu's mansion.
Zhou Fuli thought about how hard these children were, so he simply made maltose out of glutinous rice and wheat for them to eat.
Maltose played a very important role in ancient times. It can be said that for a long time, maltose was the most economical sugar in ancient times.
There are often hawkers who carry the burden and sell in the streets and alleys.
Today just happened to be the time to mold those maltose he made.
"During Chinese New Year, my mother bought candy for me. It was very delicious." Tie Dan said proudly.
The little bench is only envious, because he has never eaten candy.
Sugar is scarce in Dajin, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford it.
Zhou Fuli smiled, "I'll let you eat enough today."
The malt candy he made was still a little sticky, so he made half a bowl for each child.
A group of children were overjoyed after eating, "It turns out that sugar is so delicious."
"Hee hee, so sticky."
At this time, Sima Luming came to Taifu's residence.
Looking at the children in Yifu, I was surprised for a while.
Zhou Fuli did not expect that at this time, his most proud student would come to his door.
The next time they agreed to meet to reminisce about the old days, the span between them was too long, and Sima Luming hadn't even gone to Banan County at that time.
After returning from Banan County, I went around in circles and never met alone.
Sima Luming is very easy-going, and the expression on his face has an involuntarily friendly temperament.
Zhou Fuli also filled a bowl with half a bowl of maltose for Sima Luming.
The two chatted, but in fact, it was mostly a small talk.
At first, Zhou Fuli thought that Sima Luming just came to visit his teacher because he hadn't seen him for three years.
But suddenly, Sima Luming lowered his head, ate some malt candy and said, "They are all the teacher's students. Why is the teacher so partial? Speaking of which, I became the teacher's student earlier than him."
Zhou Fuli was stunned, and looked up at the other party.
"Children's funds, wool, and today's potatoes, wheat..."
Zhou Fuli: "..."
Sima Luming came to test, he was testing whether he was biased towards Sima Yu.
Why would a little sage who is impossible to cling to the powerful and who only recognizes truth and right or wrong favor Sima Yu? Maybe he also came to find the answer.
He was not polite and asked directly.
Zhou Fuli didn't answer, why did he prefer Sima Yu?It's just self-protection, it's just trying to survive.
But if he answered this way, the other party would never believe it.
In fact, even Zhou Fuli himself didn't realize that he had such a serious relationship with Sima Yu.
He once taught Sima Yu to recruit those accompanying students to join him. The deeper the entanglement, the harder it would be for him to quit in the future.
This is not the case for him now.
Zhou Fuli was silent, not knowing how to answer best.
At this time, Sima Luming probably saw that Zhou Fuli did not answer, so he lowered his head and said, "The students see that this candy is good, why don't you give the formula of this candy to the students?"
Zhou Fuli's eyes narrowed.
Although Sima Luming didn't say it clearly, Zhou Fuli guessed what the other party meant.
As a student, if a bowl of water is level and you give Sima Yu that much, then give him the same thing.
If not, then Sima Luming also got the answer he wanted to know, the little sage of Dajin, his former teacher favored Sima Yu.
It's really not sloppy, clever language, neither hurting feelings, but also able to get the answer he wanted.
Zhou Fuli thought for a while, I believe Sima Luming knew the importance of sugar to Da Jin, so he asked him to answer with the formula of sugar.
Because sugar represented a huge amount of wealth, if Zhou Fuli favored Sima Yu, he would never give it to him.
Zhou Fuli said, "If the Supreme Emperor agrees, it's okay to give you the formula."
The Supreme Emperor should collect the sugar as the national treasury, Zhou Fuli thought, the Supreme Emperor should know better than anyone else about such a large wealth, and it is not easy for others to control it.
Sima Luming glanced at Zhou Fuli, noncommittal.
Then chatted for a few words, and then left.
After Sima Luming left Taifu's mansion, he really went to the palace to find the old emperor
The old emperor felt guilty about this adopted son. The eldest prince he proclaimed himself, the crown prince of Jin Dynasty, did not make any mistakes, and even did better than anyone else.
But in order to make way for others, he had to be trapped in the mansion for three years.
The old emperor always felt that he owed Sima Luming when he saw Sima Luming.
"Father, I saw a very satisfactory formula from the teacher just now, and I want to take it back and run it myself..."
The old emperor thought to himself, is it the recipe for skewers?
Without thinking, he nodded.
Sima Luming was a little stunned, and was about to speak, when the old emperor ordered a few words, and then called someone to send him out.
He still doesn't know how to deal with people who are in debt.
Sima Luming still said outside the hall, "It's the recipe for sugar."
The old emperor was taken aback for a moment, and finally waved his hand without saying anything.
The formula of sugar should be very difficult, even if it is expensive, it will not affect anything, so let it be the compensation for these three years.
Zhou Fuli did not expect Sima Luming to come back so quickly, and what surprised him even more was that the old emperor agreed.
He can't take back what he said.
When Sima Luming left, his face was obviously much happier than when he came, and his teacher hadn't favored others.
Not long after Sima Luming left, Sima Yu rushed in.
Zhou Fuli had a headache, how can this be done.
Sima Yu kept looking around with his eyes sideways, and he was relieved that he didn't see anyone else.
Zhou Fuli looked at Sima Yu with a strange expression. He wondered if the old emperor suddenly wanted to change the person in that position, and actually agreed to give Sima Luming the formula for the sugar.
Zhou Fuli was a little worried about Sima Yu. Facing enemies with money and brains, how would this kid live in the future.
At this time, the little bench walked in with his bowl in his hands, "Little saint, little saint, I spooned some sugar myself just now."
Just now the little sage said that he still wanted to eat candy and spoon it himself, but he felt that he had to say something.
Sima Yu looked at the candy in the bowl on the small bench, he had never seen such candy.
Then his eyes became hot, and he leaned over, "Zhou Fuli, this thing is a good thing, why don't you give it to me, I'll agree to whatever you want."
Sugar is a good thing, how much money does it cost.
Tsk tsk, buy whatever Zhou Fuli wants to buy for him in the future, and give him whatever official he wants to be.
Anyway, they are all on his team, Zhou Fuli must be towards him, look at the compliments he received today from all the officials, isn't it also because of Zhou Fuli.
Think about it all Xinfu.
Zhou Fuli sighed a little, because soon he would not be at peace.
