The weather is getting cooler and autumn is approaching.
Prince You's Mansion is becoming more and more grand, but of course, it does not exceed the prescribed standards.
October twenty-nine.
Autumn is sweeping across, and the regenerated rice in the fields has turned golden yellow.
After three months of growth, it's finally time to harvest.
As the first batch of regenerated rice growers, Li Zhao is the happiest.
In an era when food is very scarce, and when food is controlled by most wealthy families, it is very rare to be able to harvest excess food.
Not only villages like Longmen Village are paying attention, but other townships, counties, counties and even prefectures are paying attention.
Even the big guys in the court are paying attention.
Long Jia'an worked beside Li Zhao, and the situation gradually opened up, and he also developed a trace of nobility and dignity.
It was he who presided over the grand ceremony of the second autumn harvest.
Long Jia'an has this prestige and ability.
Although they did not deny Li Zhao's contribution, they felt more that God took pity on them and rewarded them with rice.
There was an endless stream of gongs and drums, and the ceremony unique to this era officially began.
After this first experience, Long Jiaan became much more comfortable in hosting and manpower arrangements.
The old butler Li Zhong was also dispatched. He was considered the general manager and took charge of the overall situation. Local arrangements and personnel dispatch were still made by Long Jia'an.
Boom——
With the sound of the gong, the smiling villagers rushed into the fields with their tools.
Onlookers have long discovered that although the grains of this second crop are not as big as those of the first crop, the number is doubled.
If there were only fifteen rice ears in the first crop, there are now twenty-seven or eight, which is almost double the number.
So much so that everyone was shocked when the harvest actually started.
Everyone originally thought that it would be good if the second crop could have half the yield of the first crop. Unexpectedly, the yield of the second crop of ratoon rice doubled.
Once this was discovered, it caused a huge earthquake.
The dignitaries from Longyang Township, Jinyun Township, Qingyun County and other places had already gathered here. When they saw that Li Zhao had gained a lot, they couldn't help but clapped their hands excitedly.
Especially those who followed Li Zhaoyou's example, they all breathed a long sigh of relief. They made the right bet.
After knowing the result, some people quickly gathered their friends to drink and have fun, feeling that they had to drink heavily because of this.
The common people who were harvesting the rice were smiling from ear to ear. Although the grain was not theirs, if the prince had benefited, then they would still have a way to survive.
The common people of this generation are clean!
The matter spread in the blink of an eye.
Kyoto.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were looking forward to it.
After all, their intelligence was still not as fast as that of Emperor Wu's secret agent, especially when there was a faint rumor coming, they didn't sleep all night.
At five o'clock in the morning, they were already guarding the gate of the palace.
When the palace door officially opened, they filed in.
Tai Chi Hall.
Emperor Wu yawned and was startled when he saw the courtiers with serious dark circles under their eyes.
"What's going on, gentlemen?" Emperor Wu asked worriedly.
These are his strongest team members. Whether they can unify the entire continent depends on this group of people.
Needless to say, the left and right servants are getting older and the dark circles under their eyes are getting worse. The old man insists on going to work every time, never misses and leaves early, and the main thing is dedication.
Emperor Wu was really worried that these two people could not bear it. The Six Ministers were much younger than these two people, so Emperor Wu was not worried.
As for the generals, they are all a group of talented killers. When they were in their prime, they could kill a cow, and the Emperor Wu would not even look at them.
However, what Emperor Wu didn't expect was that all the members of the royal family seemed to have been drained of their yang energy by vixens, which was a bit strange.
"King of Shu!"
When the King of Shu, who was yawning with his mouth open, heard the sound, he immediately interrupted his yawn and hurriedly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, my brother is here."
"What are you..."
"Stay up late." A naive smile appeared on King Shu's fat face.
He is actually quite good, the other three princes are fighting with each other, and they are just trying to hold on.
As for the princes, they went too far. Those who didn't know better thought that His Majesty was not allowed to sleep.
The prince is under a lot of pressure, and the fourth prince Li Yan's prestige is getting higher and higher, and he is already a bit unstoppable.
In addition, Prince Li Si has a good character, treats others reasonably, is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and has no intention of being coquettish and pampering.
Therefore, many ministers in the court were willing to make friends with the fourth prince, which made the prince, who was already in trouble, even more unstable recently.
The rise of a fourth prince is nothing. The key is that Li Zhao is also causing trouble.
Now, the entire Wu Kingdom is staring at Jiaozhou, waiting for the moment when the regeneration rice production appears.
This relationship is really important.
It is enough to affect the subsequent formulation of national policies.
It was difficult for the prince to sleep peacefully. He originally had a normal relationship with his brother Li Zhao, but now that the fourth prince and Li Zhao were getting closer, he couldn't help but restore the relationship with Li Zhao.
The prince knew very well that even if he was willing to repair it, Li Zhao might not be willing.
If Li Zhao's regenerated rice succeeds again, given the relationship between Li Zhao and Li Yan, Li Yan's status will probably rise again.
This is really not good news.
The prince forced a smile, but his heart was full of bitterness. Now, he hoped that the regenerated rice would not be too dazzling.
Li Zhao's achievements are frightening, and Li Yan's prestige will be unstoppable.
His position as the crown prince... is not guaranteed.
The Sixth Prince and others were also filled with worries and silently prayed in their hearts that the thing they least wanted to see would not happen.
In the Tai Chi Hall, the duel began to play again.
Everyone was a little distracted.
Everyone is waiting for news from Jiaozhou.
The military generals had already begun to doze off. Anyway, it was not their turn to take part in matters such as government affairs. They were just tools for the show.
After all kinds of suffering, the meeting finally came to an end, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They had never been so nervous as they were today, until the officials from the Secret Service appeared at the door of the hall, panting and pale.
"Your Majesty, please report to the Jiaozhou Secret Intelligence Department!"
Just a few words calmed down the anxious civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
They felt that their heartbeats had obviously accelerated a bit, because no one knew what was written in the report?
"Send it up!"
Emperor Wu also suppressed the excitement and anxiety in his heart, and still maintained the majesty of the emperor.
The official of the Secret Intelligence Department was frothing at the mouth when he ran away. Chang Lin got the report immediately, and he was actually a little uneasy.
Although ratoon rice is already a sure thing, the yield is also critical.
Chang Lin has been busy these days, always paying attention to the movements in the court.
As long as the yield of the regenerated rice discovered by King You is not much worse than that of the first crop, all the princes in the court and His Majesty will be happy.
Because this is a great merit!
The kind that can't be stopped.
Chang Lin raised his hands, and the generals who had been dozing all the time were not sleepy at all at this time. They stared at the report in Emperor Wu's hand with their big, bull-like eyes.
Emperor Wu took it, feeling uneasy, but he knew that this must be revealed.
Tear off the beeswax and unfold the letter inside.
