"Fang Qing... do you dare to take responsibility for what you said?" After the ecstasy, Emperor Jing's expression returned to seriousness.
There is no room for mistakes in such a big event. If you lead hundreds of officials to Taoyuan County and find out that they have been cheated, the whole court will be slapped in the face.
Seeing Fang Zhengyi's confident expression, he had to be convinced.
But common sense and rationality kept telling him that there could be no crops in this world with a yield of 800 kilograms per mu. You must know that the average crop yield per mu in the country is only around 350 kilograms.
If it more than doubled in one fell swoop, wouldn’t the world be the same?
"My lord! I am willing to use my head as a guarantee!!"
Fang Zheng's sonorous and powerful answer shocked everyone.
But there was still a small group of people who looked down on him and sneered.
If such a flattering person buries things in the ground in advance, he will be able to see them later.
"Okay! I'll go to Taoyuan County tomorrow! Who among you, dear friends, would like to go with me?"
All officials naturally agreed happily.
Fang Zheng made a shocking statement. No matter how big the news was, it was not as big as this. If what he said was true, then Da Jing's future would be limitless.
If what he said is false and there is still a good show to watch, who wouldn’t go if there is such a good thing?
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It was originally planned to invite the emperor to Taoyuan, and the birth of the sweet potato must shock everyone.
Shock after shock!
Only then can the news spread all over the world as much as possible, and effectively reduce the price of food now or even in the next few months!
In order to ensure the effect, he also deliberately lowered the output by several hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, Emperor Jing agreed and made preparations for repairing books in Taoyuan County two days in advance. I hope those in the county can be better prepared...
After retreating from the court, Fang Zheng ignored Li Yuanzhao's call and ran straight to Mingluan Hall.
Recently, sanitary napkins have not been promoted in the palace. I heard from Li Yuanzhao that the princess was scolded a few times.
Fang Zhengyi was also very embarrassed.
But because I was too busy with things at hand, I never had time to respond to this question.
Now is a good opportunity...this time I can persuade the princess to go there, let her see the women's medical clinic in Taoyuan County, and spread some common sense to her.
Li Miaohan is young, and if she shrinks back after being scolded for a few words, can she still sell sanitary napkins?
You can't really accuse Li Yuanzhao of selling sanitary napkins in the palace. Then Emperor Jing couldn't incite himself?
Fang Zhengyi ran in front, while Li Yuanzhao yelled and cursed behind him.
However, due to the recent tiring work, he, who was originally in good physical condition, failed to catch up.
When they arrived at Mingluan Hall, they found that Fang Zhengyi was already sitting with Li Miaohan, while Li Yuanzhao sat aside helplessly and angrily.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, long time no see. How are you doing lately?"
Li Miaohan blushed and said with shame: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your concern. I am in good health recently, but... the promotion of sanitary napkins... is really difficult... I'm sorry."
What an honest girl! He and Li Yuanzhao are simply two extremes!
Fang Zheng said: "Her Highness the Princess has done a great job! After all, this is for the benefit of the people of the world, how can it be solved overnight. Don't worry! I, Fang Zheng, will always stand by Your Highness's side."
"Your Highness, don't be too impatient. Some things have haste but waste. Tomorrow, Your Majesty will visit Taoyuan County. Sanitary napkins have been promoted in Taoyuan County. Your Highness can go to the county together to learn from advanced experience."
"And the princess can also relax together in Taoyuan County, and she can stay at my house. My house is quite big. When you are tired from shopping, you can sleep directly, no problem!"
After listening to Fang Zheng's words, Li Miaohan lowered her head shyly and nodded twice subtly.
Yo~ The princess blushed, and Fang Zheng smiled to himself.
Li Yuanzhao next to him is already trying to eat people!
His eyes were shining red and he said angrily: "Old Fang! You can't be so shameless!"
"Brother! Why are you talking like this! Mr. Fang cultivates crops for the people of the world and makes sanitary napkins for the women of the world. How difficult it must be for him! You are going too far by talking like this!"
Before Fang Zheng could speak, Li Miaohan raised her pretty face and looked at Li Yuanzhao with indignation.
Li Yuanzhao suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning and died on the spot.
Fang Zheng hurriedly said: "The princess is really ashamed to say this. I just want to fulfill my duties as an official."
"The prince also broke his leg while running for the people. I feel pain in my heart when I see him."
Li Miaohan looked at Fang Zhengyi with admiration, and then looked at Li Yuanzhao with disdain.
Are we all human? Why are you so bad?
Li Yuanzhao was speechless at first, but when he saw the look in Li Miaohan's eyes, he became furious: "Then go sleep at his house!!"
"Brother! What nonsense are you talking about? You've gone too far!" Li Miaohan's eyes slowly turned red, and then she ran away crying.
Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly and shouted to her back: "Princess, don't forget to come tomorrow, I'm waiting for you!"
Then he turned to look at Li Yuanzhao and said: "Your Highness... I will go home and prepare first. Let's set off tomorrow."
After saying that, he ran away as fast as he could. Li Yuanzhao chased and cursed behind him...

Taoyuan County government office.
Ao Chen held a piece of letter paper in his hand, with twenty-five people standing in front of him, and a group of small officials around him waiting to take orders.
"Everyone, I have received a letter from the master, and I have assigned you a task."
"Everyone here is proficient in arithmetic, and your business skills are deeply trusted by the master. This mission is of great importance and will last for one year."
"The master said, let you choose for yourself. Those who are willing to go stay, and those who are unwilling to go can leave on their own."
"Each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver upon return from this assignment. From now on, the county government will be responsible for all your family's medical expenses. Even your children's school fees will be covered by the county."
"The conditions are like this, everyone can decide for themselves!"
For a long time, no one among the twenty-five people left.
Ao Chen continued: "Okay! Since everyone has participated by default, I will explain the master's instructions."
"The twenty-five people present brought one hundred thousand taels of silver to the south for disaster relief, mainly in Jianjiang Prefecture. They will wait for opportunities when food prices fluctuate and will return a year later."
"You don't seek profit, but you can't lose money. If you take out one hundred thousand taels of silver, you must get back the original one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Do you understand everything?"
One person suddenly raised his hand and said: "Has the master explained to what extent the process is going to be carried out? Do we need to suppress food prices?"
"I didn't say anything, but I asked you to bring a boatload of sweet potatoes and spread the news in the market to take action when necessary. The rest is to do your best and let fate dictate."
"The master also sent back a map of the south. Take it with you when you leave."
After speaking, Ao Chen took out a map and handed it over: "Okay, that's it. Be sure to pay attention to safety, and write if you have any questions. Please go back and prepare as soon as possible."
