Chapter 397 His body is disabled
"Your Majesty, I plan to take Ling Sicheng and others to the market after the morning court session to display sweet potatoes and potatoes, so that the people can initially understand and taste their deliciousness."
Emperor Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze shifted to Guo Yuanzheng, and he called out in a meaningful tone, "Guo Yuanzheng."
Dean Guo stepped out in response, "I have borrowed a medical book on Gu insects from Miss Ling'er, and am currently studying it with everyone from the Imperial Hospital."
"So good."
Emperor Yuan continued, "Our Great Xia is vast and rich in resources, but fruits are scarce. Fruits like winter melons, grapes, and pomegranates must be sent from the Western Regions.
"Food given by others is neither sweet nor satisfying. I would like to allow the people to grow their own food and be self-sufficient. What do you think?"
The Right Prime Minister stepped out first, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty is wise. If we can grow our own fruit, not only will the people be able to enjoy more fresh fruits, but it will also enhance the strength of our Great Xia nation."
"Your Majesty, I think this matter needs further consideration. Although growing fruits by ourselves is good, we need to consider factors such as land and climate, and we cannot act blindly. If the planting fails, the people will suffer heavy losses." The left prime minister stepped forward to remind.
“Fruit is not a necessity of life, nor can it be harvested in a single year. People should prioritize growing food.
Besides, if everyone goes out to grow fruit, the food shortage will become even more serious.” The Left Prime Minister added.
The Minister of Agriculture bowed his head and said, "I think there is no need to specifically promote fruit planting. Let the people choose for themselves."
Civil and military officials expressed their opinions one after another; some agreed, some opposed, and some remained neutral.
After listening to the whole thing, Emperor Yuan set his sights on Jiang Yueyang, "Jiang Yueyang, tell me what you think."
When Emperor Yuan mentioned fruit planting, Jiang Yueyang knew that he would definitely choose her.
Sure enough, what is meant to come will come.
She stepped out calmly and said, "Your Majesty, what the Left Prime Minister said is absolutely right. Food is the foundation of the people's survival and should not be underestimated.
But fruit growing is not without benefits. If planned properly, the two can go hand in hand.
I think we can first select some families in some areas who are willing to bear the risk of planting to conduct trial planting, and send agricultural officials to provide guidance.
If the planting failed, the court would give those people some compensation. If the planting was successful, the court would gradually promote it.
This will not affect grain production, and will allow people to enjoy the benefits of growing fruits.
However, while promoting planting, the court had to stipulate that fertile land could not be left idle, could not be used to grow fruit, and that the planting of fruit must be quantified.
In addition, the imperial court must also effectively educate the people that fruit is not a necessity in life, and that grain is the only thing that can help them avoid famine."
"What is quantitative?" Emperor Yuan asked.
"It means setting a planting limit or stipulating how much grain can be planted and how much fruit can be planted, so as to ensure basic food planting."
After hearing this, Emperor Yuan nodded slightly and was about to speak when Jiang Yueyang's voice came again.
"However, it's too early to say that now. We don't even have seeds yet, and we don't know how to plant them. Having confidence is good, but you can't expect to fly before you even have wings, right?"
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Civil and military officials: "..."
System: [Host, do you want to see who you are talking to? You are such a scoundrel!]
[Fuck! I'm so excited.] Jiang Yueyang finally realized what she had just said.
She quickly added, "Your Majesty, what I mean is that the fruit planting can be carried out slowly. There is no need to rush. Good things come to those who wait. Hehe~"
Emperor Yuan looked at Jiang Yueyang for a moment without any emotion, then turned his gaze to the Minister of Agriculture, "My dear Minister Yu, I heard that a new fruit shop has opened in the capital. I think we can get seeds there."
"I understand."
"Master Kong, regarding the admission of foreign students to the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy can provide its buildings and teaching materials..."
Emperor Yuan went to discuss other matters with his civil and military officials, so the issue of fruit planting was left undiscussed for the time being.
Jiang Yueyang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, feeling fortunate that Emperor Yuan did not take her slip of the tongue in front of the palace seriously.
She looked for a while, and after making sure that Emperor Yuan really didn't care about what she had just said, she stealthily took out a pre-peeled macadamia nut from the system space and stuffed one into her mouth.
The person sitting next to her saw this scene with just a casual glance. Seeing her cheeks puffed up and her attention to the emperor above her while eating, she couldn't help but laugh.
The system observed this and said, "Host, as the saying goes, eating meat without garlic loses half its flavor. How can you eat snacks without melon?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials knew that Jiang Yueyang was secretly eating in the back.
Emperor Yuan glanced at Jiang Yueyang out of the corner of his eye and saw her take out a white object from her sleeve and put it in her mouth, then chew it like a little hamster.
Show him and he'll be happy.
The Prince of Qi (the Fifth Prince) felt his stomach and swallowed. To lose weight, he had forced himself to go to court without snacks, and now he was starving.
Minister Jiang sighed helplessly, then touched the snacks in his purse, but finally did not take them out.
The Duke of England licked his lips and asked, "What delicious food is Lord Xiao Jiang eating now?"
King Yan secretly looked back and was amused by the way Jiang Yueyang was eating secretly. He accidentally pulled the wound on his abdomen that had not yet fully healed.
Jiang Yueyang chewed the macadamia nut in her mouth, "Eat whose melon you want, go ahead. I won't stop you."
[Then I will eat the melon of Master Ji, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.]
Lord Ji slowly opened his eyes, and the next second, he guessed what his melon was.
If that thing is discovered, can he still be an official?
Jiang Yueyang didn't know who was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, but that didn't stop her from asking: [What's the secret about the Secretary of the Central Secretariat?]
He is physically disabled.
[What’s wrong with it?] Jiang Yueyang blurted out.
【There. 】
【where? 】
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials suddenly understood what the system wanted to express, and their faces were filled with shock!
Why is there something missing from Lord Ji's body?
At this time, Jiang Yueyang paused in her eating and realized what was happening, but she was still not sure.
【Little melon, please speak more clearly. 】
System: [Mr. Ji, like General Manager Li Fuquan, does not have a younger brother.]
Li Fuquan: ...I'm the only eunuch here, right?
Jiang Yueyang's eyes widened in shock. [How could he be the same as Li Fuquan?]
Civil and military officials also secretly agreed: Yes, how could he be the same as Li Fuquan?
He obviously has a child!
Isn't the child his biological child?
Lord Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at his lower body, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
He cut it off himself.
【What! ! ! 】
