In the Imperial Garden.
At this time, everyone had retreated, leaving only Lin Bai and a few important officials.
Just kidding, Zhu Tianzheng is not stupid. A crop with a yield of more than 3,000 kilograms per mu is definitely a big deal. It is good if one less person knows about it.
Although everyone will know about it after it is planted in a large area, that will happen later. Before it is planted, everything must be kept secret.
"Lin Qingfeng, let me ask you now, can this thing really be used as a staple food?"
Zhu Tianzheng's eyes were as bright as fire at this moment.
The ministers were all the same, and Han Sanqian didn't know what to say, because whenever this thing came out, he always wanted to scold him.
as expected!
After receiving Lin Bai's affirmative answer, Lao Zhu began to stand up for the talented man, pointing at the noses of Han Sanqian and other officials and yelling.
"Look at you, how did you become an official? Look at Lin Qingfeng, he is not an official yet, he is just a scholar, but he always cares about the people in his heart. I would like to ask you, are you ashamed?"
"I know how to argue all day long, but if you really solve the problem like Lin Qingfeng, why is it like this?"
"While holding the salary from the court, he only knows how to fight for power and profit. Lin Qingfeng scolded you a few times and still had the nerve to come here to complain. I think he scolded you lightly. He has the right to scold you, and you should scold him."
"..."
Lao Zhu's crazy output doesn't look like he is simply giving support to a great talent, it's a bit of a pretext.
I guess he was usually very angry with these ministers, so he took the opportunity to vent his anger.
And all the ministers were scolded so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up.
No way! You produce three thousand kilograms per mu, you are so awesome, what else can you do besides giving in?
After scolding him, Zhu Tianzheng glanced at Lin Bai, as if he was asking, "Has the anger subsided?"
Lin Bai was delighted.
This Lao Zhu is also an interesting person, but he is a bit too unkind. He obviously wants to be angry but uses him to get angry. In the future, all the ministers will worry about him.
But it doesn't matter, these people don't want to see me anyway.
Moreover, being able to take the blame for His Majesty is actually a kind of recognition. If you feel wronged, just accept it! Who calls someone's legs thick?
"Go back and reflect on it for me."
After the scolding, Zhu Tianzheng directly issued an order to expel the guests. All the ministers looked at each other. Is it because he and others were left here specifically to be scolded?
I thought I was going to talk about new crops, but...
However, what can they do when His Majesty speaks? Not scolding them in front of all the students is already giving them face, so the group has no choice but to retreat.
At this time, only Lin Bai and Lao Zhu's family of three were left in the Imperial Garden, plus Yan Zhenlin and several cabinet ministers, all of whom were the real pillars of the country.
Only then did a few people really talk about potatoes. After understanding it, Zhu Tianzheng was extremely satisfied and looked at Lin Bai with admiration.
Yan Zhenlin and others are no exception.
Zhu Tianzheng said at this time: "Lin Qingfeng, when we harvest this season, if it is true as you said, it will be a great achievement. Tell me! How do you want me to reward you?"
coming!
Lin Bai felt happy.
Lao Zhu is not bad, and can take the initiative to offer rewards, but past experiences have shown that free things are the most expensive, so you must not take the initiative to ask for them and refuse them.
Immediately, he said righteously: "As a large-scale citizen, these are the duties of the grassroots. I don't expect any reward."
"How can that be done!"
Zhu Tianzheng said seriously, "This move is related to the country, the country, and the livelihood of all people. If I don't express my opinion, I will be stabbed in the back by the people in the future."
ha!
He actually had this awareness.
If you have a good relationship, the reward will definitely not be less, that’s for sure!
However, just when Lin Bai was feeling happy, he heard Zhu Tianzheng say: "It's just, what should I reward you for? I feel that everything is a little too light to express how much I value you."
? ?
What do you mean? What the hell, can’t we just forget about it?
Lin Bai suddenly felt something bad. It seemed to be like this on TV. Write it down first and then talk about it later. If you remember it, there will be nothing more to say. What should I do?
Zhu Tianzheng glanced at Zhu Ziyan at this time, his eyes suddenly moved, and said: "What do you think of the Seventh Princess?"
ah?
Lin Bai was confused, where have they all been withdrawn?
The same is true for Zhu Ziyan.
The queen pursed her lips and smiled, and her eyes suddenly changed, as if she were a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
grass! Does Lao Zhu want to sell his daughter?
Lin Bai felt bad.
Sure enough, Lao Zhu continued: "Other rewards are not enough to show how much I value you. Otherwise, how about I give you the Seventh Princess and let you be my consort?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Ziyan's pretty face turned red instantly, and she said coquettishly: "Father, you..."
Zhu Tianzheng glanced at her, "What? You don't want to? After you came back from Jiangnan, didn't you often mention Lin Qingfeng to your father?"
this!
Zhu Ziyan was so embarrassed that she couldn't answer.
The queen also said: "Qi'er, I think Lin Qingfeng is good and a good match. There is no need to be shy. Men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. It is natural and natural."
Zhu Ziyan's face turned red with embarrassment and she didn't know what to say.
But a certain great talent looked confused.
What the hell is this? Where is the promised reward? Just sell your daughter and you're done? Although this daughter is indeed very beautiful, the princess has never been a softie.
But, is my brother in need of a wife?
What I want is real benefits. I can be made a king or something like that. If not, I can be a marquis!
Moreover, this is the first time we have met, okay? Are you and your wife being too irresponsible? Have you ever understood character? Do you know that I was just bragging? Did my daughter pick it up?
Lin Bai couldn't help but complain.
On the side, the corners of Yan Zhenlin's eyes twitched, and he felt as if he was a step too late. Who would have thought that His Majesty was also watching, which would cause some trouble.
The more Zhu Tianzheng thought about it, the more satisfied he was with his decision. He looked at Lin Bai and said, "Xiao Qi is my favorite princess. Lin Qingfeng, please don't let me live up to my expectations by asking you to be Xiao Qi's consort."
What could Lin Bai say? He had an extra wife for no reason, and she was still a princess.
He is truly destined to be the soft rice king!
At this time, the queen suddenly said: "No, Lin Qingfeng cannot be the consort."
Hearing this, Zhu Ziyan blurted out: "Why?"
After saying this, she realized something was wrong, and her pretty face instantly turned red to her ears.
The queen smiled, as if she didn't have to worry, and continued: "Lin Qingfeng has done so many things for the court before he even entered the court. He will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future. A consort cannot enter the court as an official."
"Yes! The imperial court does have such regulations."
Zhu Tianzheng nodded, "However, getting the princess married is another matter."
"Lin Qingfeng, the queen is right. Having you become the consort like this is a great loss for the court and my loss, but your current status does not match that of the Seventh Princess."
"In this way, you serve the court well. When the first harvest comes, I will give you an official title. When your official position matches, I will marry Xiaoqi to you."
? ? ?
That's it? In the end, there was no soft food left in the co-authorship, just a blank check?
You two sing in harmony together on purpose, right?
I didn’t expect you to be such an old Zhu.
Ten thousand straws are rushing through someone's heart.
Um! Lao Zhu also felt that he had shown great favor to the talented man, and his face was full of pride, as if he still did not thank the Lord for his kindness.
The damn thing in Lin Bai's heart was that he said he didn't want a reward before. Is it too late to regret it now?
wrong! If you don’t want it yourself, you can ask for it for your wife.
Lin Bai's heart moved, and he immediately said: "The common people thank His Majesty for His grace. However, the common people feel that there is a group of people who deserve more of His Majesty's grace."
