At night, Luo Zhang hugged Gao Yang and went to sleep happily.
The hall of Changsun Mansion, which had just moved into the old house, was brightly lit and full of people. No one went to sleep. Everyone had a gloomy look on their face. Obviously something bad had happened.
"Tell me, who asked you to collude with the Japanese? Now you are so bold that you dare to collude with the Japanese? If it hadn't been for the accident of the second child, I, the head of the family, would have been kept in the dark. You are really capable. Even I Hiding the truth, do you still think of me as the head of the family?" Changsun Wuji slammed the table and asked loudly.
It's just that no one dared to answer his question. They all shrank their necks for fear of being asked about him.
"Why are you not talking? Do you think it will be okay if you don't talk? Your Majesty has already asked me today, asking me what the eldest grandson family wants to do? Can I still be the head of the eldest grandson family?"
"I was speechless when His Majesty asked him. The second brother told me everything. What do you want me to say and what do you want me to do? Tell Your Majesty that I don't know? You guys colluded in this matter without telling me. ?”
"I have already told His Majesty that I will give His Majesty an explanation for this matter. If anyone else is involved in this matter, please come forward and I will give you a lighter punishment. If you don't come forward and I find out, then I will directly punish you." You send the secret agent to the spy department and let others punish me!" Changsun Wuji said with a frosty look on his face.
He is really helpless with these pig-brained people in his family. Even if you have colluded with the Japanese, don't come forward in person. Now it's better. He was caught by the people of the Secret Service, and the second brother also recruited them all. It didn't give him any room to maneuver. If His Majesty hadn't known about this and he didn't know about it, I'm afraid he would have been affected. Idiot, a bunch of idiots!
"Master, calm down. We only contacted the Japanese people to hire them to help us search the Qilian Mountains. We didn't ask them to do anything. It's really unjustifiable to talk about collusion!" The fifth elder stood up first and said, talking about this matter he He was also one of the insiders, but he did not report it to the head of the family.
You must know that there are interests in contacting the Japanese people. The Japanese people came to the Tang Dynasty for their own purposes. They wanted to buy a large amount of salt and weapons, and these things were prohibited by the Tang Dynasty from being taken out. It is just money that attracts people's hearts. , in front of the money promised by the Japanese, they were naturally moved, and the two parties hit it off, and hiring them to help was just incidental.
Who would have known that by such a coincidence, someone from the Secret Service would be captured alive in the Qilian Mountains!
And the second child is also a coward. He actually confessed everything. How can he admit this kind of thing? This is a head-turning thing. Naturally, he has to regard the matter as just employment!
Hearing what Lao Wu said, Changsun Wuji snorted: "You still want to hide it now? Do you think I don't know? Okay, if you say hiring, then I will count you as hiring, but you know what you are hiring. Humans? They committed all kinds of crimes in the Tang Dynasty, including rape, robbery and robbery. Thirty-eight people were killed by them alone. Thirty-eight people, it’s just that they didn’t know about this. Now they have been transferred to His Majesty. , what do you want His Majesty to think? He will think that we are colluding with these Japanese people, and those thirty-eight people are also responsible for our eldest grandson's family. Tell me, what stupid things have you done!"
The fifth elder was silent now. He really didn't expect these Japanese people to do such a thing. If he knew, how could he dare to cooperate with the Japanese people? Once this incident broke out, he wouldn't be able to run away!
"What? Stop talking? Use your brain more when doing things from now on!"
"This time the second child is in trouble. How to punish me will be left to Your Majesty. As for you, don't think that everything related to this matter has passed like this. I will go to the study in a while. If you are involved, you can go to my study to explain. No. If you go and participate, I will definitely send you to the Secret Intelligence Department!" After saying this, Changsun Wuji stood up and left, leaving everyone in the Changsun family looking at each other.
In the early morning, when the sky was dark, Luo Zhang was woken up by Gao Yang. He had no choice but to get up early to go to the morning court. Unless he didn't want to do it, otherwise he would be held accountable if he didn't ask for leave and not go to the morning court. Those civil servants were all watching. With him, how could he give them a reason to attack? They had no choice but to get up before dawn.
After getting dressed and having breakfast, Luo Zhang breathed out and went out. When he arrived in front of the imperial city, the generals gathered around him to inquire about the potatoes with Luo Zhang.
After all, Luo Zhang had displayed potatoes in the main hall, and many people were curious about that thing.
It's just that today we haven't had a chance to see it, let alone eat it. Only the old and immortal Wei Zheng has eaten as much, so everyone wants to try it.
Luo Zhang was stunned when he heard what these generals asked. Didn't His Majesty send potatoes to these people to grow?
You must know that the best fields are the fiefdoms of these people. If you don't let them plant them early, what does your majesty want to do?
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to give you some. It's actually that Eunuch Huang has taken away all the potatoes and moved them into the palace. There's nothing you can do about it. If you want to try it, you can ask His Majesty for some. They are all there now. Your Majesty." Luo Zhang apologized with his hands in hand.
I heard that all the things were taken away by His Majesty. These people were speechless. Want it from Your Majesty? That's not a joke. No one here dares to ask for it from His Majesty. Even Yuchi Jingde, who has always been very courageous, kept silent.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but he also thought that he would go to court today and ask His Majesty whether the potatoes have been planted. After a while, it will be too late!
The morning meeting was as boring as ever, all trivial matters. Luo Zhang couldn't listen at all and sat in the hall and fell asleep.
It wasn't until someone spoke that Luo Zhang was awakened.
"Your Majesty, the potatoes donated by the Luo County Count a few days ago have been verified by our Sinong Temple and can indeed be grown. Moreover, as the Luo County Count said, one potato can fill the stomach and can be used for cooking. As a staple food, what is served is a rare grain! Of course, the three thousand kilograms per mu mentioned by Luo County Bo has yet to be verified, but even if there is not three thousand, if there are two thousand, then God has blessed me in the Tang Dynasty!" Yan Kuan, the minister of Sinong Temple, came out to start the performance.
His words caused an uproar. Although Luo Zhang had demonstrated before in the main hall, it was only Luo Zhang's demonstration and had not been officially certified. Now Yan Kuan's words are equivalent to adding evidence to what Luo Zhang said, proving that Luo Zhang I'm not lying, he deserves the title of county boss, and there is no problem with His Majesty awarding him such a reward.
This left a small number of jealous people speechless. Although they were aggrieved, Sinong Temple has proven that there is nothing else you can say.
Besides, if these potatoes prove to be really good, they can be used in the northern battlefield. Compared with the benefits of the northern battlefield, it is no big deal that Luo Zhang gets some benefits!
So most people are in a good mood!
"Now that it has been verified, let's distribute the potato seeds to all the ministers after the next court session!" Li Shimin glanced down and said.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that, and they all saluted and thanked His Majesty for his grace!
This thing is a sacred thing. His Majesty actually gave it to them. How could they not be happy? If the yield per mu is three thousand kilograms as Luo Zhang said, wouldn't they be rich?
But it was too early for them to be happy. Li Shimin's next words made them all cry.
"I can give you the seeds, but the potatoes grown must be handed over to the national treasury for 50% of the food and grass used for the northern war. Are you willing?"
How dare they refute Li Shimin's words. Although they have to leave 50%, the seeds were given by His Majesty, and asking you for 50% is not much. Besides, this is for the war in the north, and even if they have to leave 50%, they will still make a profit. Look, Come on, Your Majesty has already calculated it.
"Everything is up to Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed and saluted in agreement.
Luo Zhang had been watching. When he saw this, Luo Zhang had to give a thumbs up to Li Shimin's method. It was really high. He didn't let these people grow potatoes. He just waited here. In this way, he would be equal to these ministers. They are all farming for him, not for their own family. Your Majesty is your Majesty. I can't compare to this skill. He is really good at playing with nothing.
Luo Zhang was also sour about this. After all, he used his points to redeem those items for His Majesty. Now Your Majesty actually uses this to make money. It's strange that he is in a good mood. But who calls him your Majesty? Isn't this already given to you? Now that I am an earl, people must be content!
