"Your Majesty, this-"
After Cui Zhongli read the book, he was surprised in his eyes, "Your Majesty, this is a strange book. If what this book says is true, the people of the Chen Kingdom will not have to worry about food for ten or twenty years... no, it should be said that they will not have to worry about food for a hundred years! "
Cui Zhongli was so shocked that he couldn't help but look at "Hybrid Rice". Looking at the contents recorded in it, he really couldn't think of anyone from Da Chen who wrote it.
To have written such a wonderful book!
Cui Zhongli held the strange book in his hand, thinking about whether the content in the book was true or false, and how to persuade His Majesty to give it a try.
If it succeeds, it will be a credit and will benefit the Cui family.
If it doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter, and it won't do any harm to the Cui family.
In just these few seconds, Cui Zhongli had already mentally considered the pros and cons of the contents of this book for the Cui family.
"Oh, I found it by chance in the palace library." Chen Jue opened his eyes and glanced at him, then said nonchalantly using the excuse he had already thought of.
Chen Jue said it unintentionally, but the listener had intention.
Library?
Although the books collected in the palace library are not as good as those in Chong Academy, they are the royal family after all. The books inside are not only the classics of famous scholars, but at least they are long-lost books.
"That's it," Cui Zhongli nodded, obviously believing this.
Then he added: "Your Majesty, although I don't know whether the contents of this book are true or false, I would like to ask your Majesty to give it a try."
"A try?" As if he heard something incredible, Chen Jue's hand holding the teacup to drink tea paused slightly and raised his head to look at him.
Suddenly, he smiled suddenly, stood up and walked to stand in front of Cui Zhongli. He took the hand from Cui Zhongli's hand away and took it in his own hand to look through it casually.
He asked: "Cui Qing thinks what is written in this book is worth trying?"
"Your Majesty, that's right." Cui Zhongli answered him affirmatively without hesitation, "Although I don't know if this is really as effective as mentioned above, in my opinion it is worth a try."
Cui Zhongli briefly explained why he thought it was "worth a try".
To Chen Jue, Cui Zhongli's words were all without any selfish motives. They were all for the sake of the court and the people of Chen State.
Is this really the case? Chen Jue didn't believe it.
But that's not the point, and he doesn't care. As an official, how many of them have no selfish motives?
There are very few people who are truly honest.
As long as the official can do things without going too far or crossing his bottom line, that's fine.
While listening to Cui Zhongli's words, Chen Jue paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands, occasionally pursed his lips and frowned.
This is Cui Zhongli. His Majesty seems to be thinking about his own suggestions.
That's right, Chen Jue is indeed thinking.
He knew everything Cui Zhongli said, and he also knew that this matter would definitely succeed.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Jue finally stopped and turned to look at Cui Zhongli. He said solemnly: "What Cui Qing said makes sense. I'll leave this matter to you. Find a good field to test first and see what the result is." Negotiate.”
Cui Zhongli was not surprised at all by this holy intention. He was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of farmland and water conservancy. Naturally, he could not get past him.
What's more, His Majesty may have had this intention when he summoned himself into the palace today.
As for the last sentence, Cui Zhongli did not object and quickly accepted the holy message to express his gratitude.
Find an acre of good farmland and try it out with an expert. This is the best way to do it, but we don't know whether it will be successful at the moment.
After discussing the matter, Cui Zhongli was about to leave. When he wanted to go home and study how to test hybrid rice, he suddenly realized that the book was not in his hand.
Suddenly I remembered that the book was still in His Majesty's hand.
So, Cui Zhongli looked at the book in His Majesty's hand and reminded: "Your Majesty, this book -"
Cui Zhongli looked at the book in Chen Jue's hand with blazing eyes, as if saying: Your Majesty, give me the book quickly.
Chen Jue understood, but he didn't give it to Cui Zhongli. He turned around and put it on the imperial case.
Cui Zhongli's fiery gaze also moved with his movements.
Cui Zhongli was very fond of the book, but he still remembered the way of being a minister and did not dare to take it in front of His Majesty.
At this time, a gentle voice came from in front of Cui Zhongli, "The second imperial examination is coming soon. I'm afraid many things will happen by then. I'm a little worried..."
As he spoke, Chen Jue sighed slightly and said, "Cui Qing also knows how much I value the imperial examination. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid those students will lose trust in the imperial court."
After saying that, he shook his head again and sighed heavily.
Cui Zhongli shifted his gaze and looked towards His Majesty, only to see that His Majesty's brows were furrowed, with a look of sadness on his face.
Cui Zhongli understands what His Majesty said.
Most of the courtiers disapproved of the imperial examination, and even wanted to fish in troubled waters in the imperial examination so that the imperial examination would fail.
Although the Cui family has stopped taking any action after deposing the prime minister, there is no guarantee that others will not.
Cui Zhongli looked at the book on the imperial desk again, and an idea was about to come out in his mind.
