That night, Wen Jin didn't sleep well.
She was too busy, busy harvesting sugar cane, planting sugar cane, and accumulating the fattest sugar cane buds to raise seedlings.
The plants take too long to grow in the space.
So much so, that while she was taking a nap, something new happened in the space.
In order to prevent Xiao Yuchen from being suspicious, she asked Xiao Yuchen to sleep in the palace by himself on the grounds of "fasting, bathing, burning incense and praying for blessings tonight", while she wanted to sleep in the side hall.
Xiao Yuchen refused, "This is your palace. I sleep in the main palace, so what's the point of asking you to sleep in the side palace?"
"I will stay with you for a while and then go back to the imperial study. There happens to be a pile of memorials that have not been approved yet."
Wen Jin didn't stay.
Xiao Yuchen looked at her and slowed down his speech, "When did you start praying to God and Buddha? Why didn't I know?"
Wen Jin chuckled and said, "I used to beg, but I begged in my heart. Doesn't it mean that if you are sincere, you will be successful? Now that your status is different, you must be more sincere in form."
Xiao Yuchen looked her up and down, "Is there really nothing else?"
"What else can happen to me in the palace? I can't hide anything from you!" Wen Jin vowed.
But as soon as Xiao Yuchen left, she closed the door behind her and told the palace people that she wanted to sleep.
She worked all night.
In the morning, when the palace people were waiting for her to wash up, they saw the Queen sleeping deeply.
Banxia hurriedly led the palace people back out again.
She muttered to Fengchun, "How come my queen is still sleeping better than before? She fell asleep early yesterday and she's still not awake yet..."
Banxia was worried.
Fengchun suddenly felt happy, "Could it be that... I'm happy?!"
Banxia was startled.
"Grandmothers say that when there is a wedding, women will become drowsy!" The more Fengchun thought about it, the more it seemed like it. "Hurry up and send a doctor who is good at gynecology to diagnose the pulse!"
Banxia grabbed her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is a miracle doctor. If you are happy, how can she not know about it?"
"Doctors don't heal themselves, don't you even understand this?" Fengchun's eyes lit up.
Banxia frowned, "Quietly, everyone inside and outside the palace is watching this matter! Don't let the joy come to nothing!"
"I know!" Fengchun asked someone to quietly invite the imperial doctor over.
What Banxia said is true.
Today, Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin only have one son, Yu'er.
Although the prince has been named, the death rate of children in ancient times was too high!
Yesterday, the ministers were in the imperial study room. They were originally admonishing the emperor to choose his concubine, sow the seeds quickly and sow diligently and reap more! Let the palace become more popular.
But Xiao Yuchen asked a question, and the queen interrupted...
They forgot the "business".
After the meeting today.
The ministers have already formed cliques to discuss the matter.
In politics, even players from different camps.
On the matter of urging the emperor to choose a concubine and give birth to a prince, there was unprecedented unity.
The eunuch was about to sing "Retreat from the Dynasty".
The ministers huffed and knelt down, "Report to your Majesty..."
No need for them to tell.
Xiao Yuchen could guess what they were saying, "Heavenly family has no family affairs..."
Xiao Yuchen took the lead and said before them, "My dear friends, you know that I have something good today and want to share it with you? Thank you, it's a bit early to thank you."
"Everyone loves you, please taste it first before talking about it!"
The ministers didn't know why, but the emperor had already asked the palace people to file in carrying trays.
They had no choice but to get up first.
The palace attendants opened the lid on the tray and found a plate of fruits cut into square shapes and neatly stacked, as if they were white jade.
How do you know it's fruit?
It looks watery and has a sweet and refreshing aroma.
"Have you ever seen this good thing?" A plate was also presented to Xiao Yuchen's side.
There is no such thing as the emperor watching from above while the ministers are eating.
So he first pricked a piece with a silver fork, chewed it up, sucked it dry, and spit the dregs into the porcelain plate given by the palace servants.
It must be said that the ministers who were admonishing in the imperial study room yesterday had seen this thing.
But apparently, none of them recognized him.
When the ministers saw that the emperor had already eaten, they also inserted a piece in turn, imitating the emperor's example, chewing it, sucking...
"Huh? So sweet! Sweeter than sugar! What kind of water is this?"
"It's not water, it's fruit! It's just that the pomace cannot be eaten!"
"What kind of fruit is this? Is it grown in my beam?"
However, a minister whose hometown was in the southwest of Daliang murmured to himself in disbelief, "This... is this sugar cane? Isn't it right? The sugar cane from my hometown is somewhat similar to this one. But it is far from as sweet... It will be a little sour, a little bit bitter...and it is far from so brittle, so people with hard teeth and bad teeth cannot bite it!"
When the ministers were talking and marveling.
Xiao Yuchen said, "This is a crop suitable for growing in the southwest of Daliang. Because of its sweet taste, it can be made into fruit or sugar."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a young minister whom he had promoted stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, if we can plant this kind of crop on a large scale, wouldn't it be able to generate a lot of income for me in the southern part of Daliang?"
"Caramel is made from grains, supplemented by malt. The sugar yield is not high and the price is expensive. It is so sweet, so it must be able to produce more sugar, right?"
After the young minister finished speaking, a large number of ministers nodded in agreement.
Even the veterans from the previous dynasty all said so.
"This stuff is sweet! If you want to make sugar, it's much more reliable than the sugar cane the Queen said in the study room yesterday!"
Xiao Yuchen glanced at the old minister and chuckled.
"That's right. This is the sugar cane the Queen presented yesterday."
The ministers were surprised when they heard this.
The ministers who signed a "military order" with the queen in the imperial study room yesterday were even more surprised.
"That's impossible! That's a purple stick!"
"I heard it broke the prince's teeth! How could it be so crispy and sweet?"
"The Emperor cannot deliberately confuse the public in order to protect the Queen."
boom!
Xiao Yuchen slapped the imperial court fiercely, "Can I lie? Are none of the ministers from the southwest? No one knows this thing?"
"Back to the emperor, I have this thing in my hometown. It's sugar cane! It's just not as sweet and the taste is not as good as this!" one of the ministers said.
Xiao Yuchen sneered, "The queen specially ordered people to find the best varieties."
"Where is Minister Wen?"
When Wen Shengjun heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm here!"
Xiao Yuchen said, "I order you, who is also the Minister of Household Affairs, to go to the southwest with sugarcane seedlings and people who are good at farming, order the local government to acquire land and people, and call on the people to plant sugarcane vigorously!"
"I obey the decree!" Wen Shengjun was originally promoted from a small treasurer of the Ministry of War to the minister of rites for the purpose of Wen Jin's enthronement.
Now he is also the Minister of Household Affairs and personally supervises the planting of sugar cane.
He was so young, so he had to be used by the emperor, and the emperor only favored his own sister... As long as he was not too stupid, his future was limitless.
Wen Shengjun himself is a direct disciple of Mr. Qi Xiuqi. Stupid, it is impossible to be stupid.
…
As soon as Wen Jin woke up, she learned that her brother Wen Shengjun was going to the southwest to supervise the planting of sugar cane.
As soon as Wen Jin had an idea, he immediately called for the letter eagle.
She wants to repair a letter and send it to the southwest...
