"Since the Emperor insists on asking me to say something, I remembered something!
"
In Fengtian Hall, Jia Qi remembered the previous matter about looking for cold-resistant crops, so he brought up the old matter again.
Emperor Mingkang saw that Jia Qi seemed to really have something to say, and he was quite curious. What did Jia Qi want to say? ?
"Oh! I would like to hear it!
"
After hearing Emperor Mingkang's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Jia Qi.
Fan Yuanhe, Zeng Shutang and several cabinet ministers also looked at Jia Qi.
This time, Fan Yuanhe and Zeng Shutang didn't say much. The two old foxes looked at each other with a long smile, and became more and more calm.
Jia Qi didn't see the situation of the two of them, or he didn't care.
Even if the two of them are really playing tricks on him, so what if he is not like Lin Ruhai, nor is he a first-rate Duke of Zhenguo or a first-rate Duke of Liguo. To the entire court, he is like a mudslide.
You have your own rules for doing things. Your own rules are not their rules, nor are they the rules of this court, nor are they the rules of this noble family.
If they play those conspiracies, they will only die more miserably.
“This winter in Weichen feels colder than in previous years!
I don’t know how much of the rice in the fields will survive after spring this year! "
Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but be startled. They talked about mulberry farming before and deliberately avoided this matter, because they all knew that before cold-resistant crops could be found, even if it was mentioned, Come out, it won't have any effect at all.
Unexpectedly, Jia Qi actually brought it up again. Some quick-thinking people used the corner of their eyes to scan Emperor Mingkang who was sitting on the dragon chair.
He secretly wondered why the champion was so ignorant and insisted on touching Emperor Ming Kang's brow at this moment.
Sure enough, Emperor Mingkang's face suddenly turned cold after hearing what Jia Qi said.
This is a problem that needs to be solved.
But this problem cannot be solved for a while, and finding cold-resistant crops is not a matter of time. Over at Jinmen, he heard the news from the secret guards that the civilians who followed the White Lotus Sect in rebellion have just begun. settle down.
An Zhao's plan to go overseas for a search will have to wait until at least next year, which means that what happened in various places last year may be even more intense this year.
If this situation continues for two more years, even if cold-resistant crops are found, Dakang's national strength will be greatly damaged. It is not necessarily true that one out of ten will not survive.
"Champion Hou!
I already know what you are talking about!
The Jinmen side has just settled down. Calculating the time, even if we hurry up and go out to sea as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't be until autumn!
"
Emperor Mingkang couldn't help but sigh slightly when he said this.
It is said that man can conquer the sky, but when he really faced a natural disaster, even as the master of Dakang, the master of this country thousands of miles away, he still felt a sense of powerlessness.
When Jia Qi heard this, he shook his head in his heart. If he went to sea by himself, it would be fine, but he still had no idea about crossing an ocean. But thinking of this, he remembered one thing. Since he broke through to In the current state, although I have tried how powerful my full-strength attack is, I have not yet tried how fast I can fly with my full-strength sword! And how much weight can you carry?
If it's really possible, it would be nice to take a trip to the East China Sea or, oh no, to take a trip to the Pacific Ocean.
This is just like Lu Zu in myths and legends.
I travel to the North Sea in the morning and the sky is green at dusk. The green snake in my sleeve is courageous.
Three drunk people in Yueyang didn't know it, and they sang loudly and flew across Dongting Lake.
“Let’s start with my emperor!
Regarding this matter, the veteran thought that some skilled craftsmen could be mobilized to go to Tianjin, and naval forces could be sent from the two Zhejiang areas to conduct training first. If the progress was fast enough, they should be able to go to sea by the beginning of summer, but whether this matter could be successful Success still depends on whether the information provided by Champion Hou is accurate!
"
"What Mr. Fan Ge said is right. If the imperial court spends so much effort and gets nothing in the end, I'm afraid it will make people laugh!
"
In tandem, Fan Yuanhe and Zeng Shutang played the bad side and the red side, and their coordination was perfect.
When everyone heard this, they began to discuss in a low voice. This time, the two pavilion elders were reasonable and did not deliberately target Jia Qi. Instead, they proposed a practical solution.
Even Emperor Mingkang nodded slightly when he heard this.
Jia Qi, who was standing aside, glanced at the two of them thoughtfully.
These two old foxes are a bit interesting to take action this time. If they are really a passionate young man, they might stand up and issue a military order or something because of their words. Then they will delay the construction period of the people they send. If the people who go out use some tricks, it is not impossible to find this thing by then.
Then Jia Qi handed over his hands, looked at the two of them and said softly: "If the two prime ministers have any better ways to help Dakang overcome this difficulty, I have nothing to say! Then I will thank you both. Your Excellency, it’s not just one or two, I think all the people of Dakang will be grateful for the kindness of these two!”
When Fan Yuanhe heard Jia Qi's words, he stood aside calmly.
If he had a better way, he would have said it long ago and would have waited until now, but he was also a little curious. Jia Qi didn't accept the move at all and instead defeated them.
He seemed to have underestimated the boy in front of him. Did he really not understand the ways of officialdom? ? Just this time, the other person felt like a slippery loach.
No, he should be a master of vertical and horizontal maneuvers. His counterattack skills are very sharp!
Zeng Shutang also felt the same way. He had a good word to describe Jia Qi's move - flattery.
The people of Dakang all thanked them. What did Emperor Mingkang think? ? Sometimes it is not a good thing to have too much prestige. Just like Jia Qi now, he was jealous and jealous of Emperor Mingkang.
And once this kind of fear and suspicion takes root, it will never be eliminated in the future.
For civil servants like them, suspicion and fear mean they will not end well. The royal family will not let them go. The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. This is not just about military officers.
Zeng Shutang glanced at Fan Yuanhe subconsciously. This old guy was as stable as a rock, but he didn't know what he was thinking now.
Emperor Mingkang, who was standing in front of the Dragon Throne, heard this and glanced at Fan Yuanhe and Zeng Shutang, and then at Jia Qi. It was strange that he smelled something different.
Jia Qi and Fan Yuanhe both looked smiling, and there was no smell of gunpowder between them, but they gave people a more dangerous feeling than the smell of gunpowder.
"Ashamed!
If I were still thirty or fifty years younger, I would be willing to personally go to sea to search for potatoes and sweet potatoes, two cold-resistant crops for my emperor!
Share the worries for my emperor!
"
Since Fan Yuanhe didn't speak, Zeng Shutang had no choice but to come by himself.
Hearing this, Jia Qi sneered twice in his heart. There is a saying that speaking is better than singing. What it means is this.
He bets that if he was really younger than thirty or fifty years old, he would never go.
Going to sea is no joke, someone can die if you are not careful.
For mortals, those stormy waves are far more tragic than imagined. Even in modern times, except for a very small number of ships, they are not willing to try it with that thing, let alone now.
The purpose of the other party's words was also very clear. He didn't just want him to take the initiative to ask for help, but he forgot one thing. In this situation, Emperor Mingkang would not let him leave. The current situation in the capital was in his hands. Emperor Mingkang would not move anyone who held military power, nor dared to move, because a single move could affect his whole body.
Jia Qi thought of a person Zeng Shutang talked about yesterday, and couldn't help but talk to him: "Master Zeng's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism really makes me ashamed, but time is like water flowing eastward and will never go back. However, Master Zeng's words It's not impossible to realize your wish. I heard that your son is very talented and in his prime. It's time to serve the imperial court!
"
Zeng Shutang was shocked when he heard this, secretly thinking that something was wrong, Jia Qi was not playing his cards according to common sense.
He didn't know who his own son was, and going to sea was not a good thing. If he was not careful, he would die at sea, so there was no way he would do it.
Fan Yuanhe was still the old god. He didn't say a word and remained silent. He now understood that Jia Chu was confident. The current situation in the capital had already determined one thing. Emperor Ming Kang would not let it go. Something happened to him at this time.
Therefore, this is not the time to use his subsequent methods. There is a saying that he is born at the wrong time, and this is what he says.
Zeng Shutang's original plan was good. As long as Jia Qi was no longer in the capital, they could return to the previous situation. As long as the Emperor did not die, they could sit back and relax. Moreover, the Emperor seemed to intend to train the second prince. Then they could start Build a good relationship with him.
Moreover, the forces behind the second prince are already gone, so it will be easy to control them when the time comes.
At the worst, each of their families was able to escape intact.
only......
Emperor Mingkang said at this time: "Okay, Jia Qi, I know what that bastard from Zeng Shutang's family looks like. He is no better than those bastards from your Jia family!
Let him go to sea, even if he wants to go, I won't worry!
"
Zeng Shutang felt relieved when he heard Emperor Mingkang's words. He didn't know how to answer those words just now! Although Emperor Mingkang's words were harsh, they could be regarded as saving him at this time.
“Old minister, I’m ashamed!
"
Emperor Mingkang snorted softly in his heart. This old guy, if the current situation in Beijing was not a bit special and the court needed stability, he would really want to throw the Zeng Shilang into the sea and directly cut off the Zeng family's incense. , He had long disliked the old cabinet ministers of Emperor Taikang.
"Okay! Back off!
"
Emperor Mingkang waved his hand to signal Zeng Shutang to return, and then he looked at Fan Yuanhe.
"Fan Zaifu, the previous proposal was good. You will follow up on this matter. Champion Hou, you are the initiator and you will also participate in this matter. You and Fan Zaifu will discuss the matter! At the latest, I want the ship to go to sea in early summer!
"
