Chapter 481: Returning to the capital, meeting the saint, and the monks reappear
"Niubi, that person is back!!"
In a dilapidated temple outside the capital, there was a dead monk with complicated eyes. After waiting for three months, that man finally came back.
"Monk, do you think we can really do it?"
A lame old Taoist looked eastward from a distance, with the same expression.
"I don't know!"
"Undecided!"
Yes! Until the final moment, the outcome will always be unknown, and no one can be sure, because there is no such thing as an unchangeable thing.
"But what he brought back this time is indeed a divine item~~"
Speaking of this, the lame Taoist priest sounded a little sad. He had never seen that thing before. Across the vast ocean, even though they had the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, they did not have the ability to predict the future.
"If you act against nature, you will be punished by God! The fortune of the Da Kang Dynasty has already turned bad, but now it is forcibly reversed by him. This cause and effect will inevitably fall on him. Now this result is not retribution!"
Monk Laitou stood with one palm and recited Amitabha again.
...
Many people had gathered on the official road, but this time, they did not see Jia Qi. Under the heavy protection of the Beijing Suburban Camp and the Snow Dragon Cavalry Camp, the boxes were protected like iron barrels.
Seeing such a formation, most people had guessed what was in these boxes.
When Jia Qi left the capital, there was not much movement, but everyone knew what the Marquis was going to do. Now that they saw him, it was self-evident.
"Brother Qian, do you think these things are the divine objects that Champion Hou said??"
"It's hard to say. The champion before was boasting about Haikou in the court. Such things are unrealistic to me no matter how much I think about them!"
"I heard that the champion also issued a military order. Although Zeng Shutang has fallen, Fan Yuan and Fan Ge are still going strong! If the output of that thing does not reach the expected level, it will probably be another battle between dragon and tiger!"
"...."
"Master Marquis!! The Emperor is waiting for you!!"
In front of the gate of Daming Palace, Dai Quan stood here and greeted him respectfully.
Behind him were many ministers of the imperial court. Except for a few people who had no dealings with the Hou Mansion, almost everyone else was present.
After all, if what Jia Qi brought back this time was really as magical as he said, it would have done a great job this time, even as much as his unparalleled success in pacifying Northern Xinjiang.
But if those things don't work this time, then Jia Qi will suffer.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it. This is nothing new in the court.
It can be said that a large part of the people here come to see jokes and Jia Qi's jokes, because they don't believe that there is really such a thing in the world, which can produce more than one thousand kilograms per mu. They even say that the thing called sweet potato can produce more than one thousand kilograms per mu.
Three Thousand Jin sounds like a story, but not many people believe it.
"Marquis Champion, I wonder if you have brought the things you mentioned before??"
The person who spoke was an old man. Judging from the clothes on the other person's body, he should be an imperial censor. Jia Qi glanced at the other person, ignored him, said hello to Dai Quan, and walked towards Fengtian Hall.
All the civil and military officials had different expressions, but they were quite quiet. After all, this time, Emperor Mingkang spoke eloquently and asked them to come to greet Jia Chu. This was the treatment he deserved.
In the Fengtian Hall, Emperor Mingkang was sitting on a dragon chair. When he saw Jia Qi and others walking in, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Although the situation in Dakang has calmed down recently, he has a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.
Severe drought in Shandong, locust plague in Henan, and banditry in various places are shocking.
Fortunately, the imperial court still has some money. Well, I just asked the nobles to settle the debt and relieve the temporary difficulties.
But the fundamental problem is still unresolved, which makes the king of Dakang on the throne anxious, but there is nothing he can do.
Because if we want to solve this problem, the most fundamental thing is to let the people in the world have enough to eat, or to be able to survive.
For the current court, this request can no longer be realized, because the food is gone, and sometimes even if you have money, you can't buy it.
Jia Qi's return now is really timely.
"The humble minister Jia Qi pays homage to the Emperor!!"
Seeing the Lord of Dakang again, Jia Qi felt quite emotional. Emperor Mingkang had a lot more white hair on his temples. When he left three months ago, those white hairs were not there yet.
At this moment, all the ministers of the imperial court also came to their respective positions and stood up, closing their eyes and relaxing.
Today's protagonist has been determined, the young man standing in the middle of the courtiers, the champion Hou Jiaqi.
Emperor Mingkang raised his hand and said softly: "My beloved, you will be free of courtesy!!"
Then, he continued: "Did everything go smoothly during the Champion's trip??"
Although he had received letters before, he was still a little nervous when the matter came to pass. After all, those things were related to the national destiny of Dakang.
Jia Qi nodded, clasped his fists, and said: "Your Majesty, fortunately, I have lived up to my command. Weicheng set out from Jinmen and took one and a half months to successfully reach the other side of the ocean, where he got corn, sweet potatoes, etc.
crop!!"
"Both of these two crops have a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. Sweet potatoes can even reach 3,000 kilograms. They can be grown in mountains, hills and other places. They can be used as cold-resistant crops and can support all people in the world!!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingkang stood up with a cry, his eyes were filled with divine light, and his breathing became rapid.
"really!!"
Jia Qi seemed unaware of Emperor Mingkang's scorching gaze and calmly replied: "The things have been transported outside the palace. Whether it is true or false, you will know once you try it!"
At this moment, one of the courtiers came out and said, "Isn't it too easy for the Marquis to say this? It takes time for crops to grow, and you can tell by just trying it. Isn't this too childish?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, another person stood up from the queue and continued to speak: "Yes, everything has its season. It is already past the spring plowing time, and the weather is hot, so it is not suitable for sowing. The words of the Marquis are unavoidable.
Isn’t it substandard? Or is it that the Marquis has not really found the divine object, and now he is looking for excuses to shirk it!!”
After hearing the words of the two men, a group of ministers also began to talk about it. The two of them were right. It was already past the spring equinox and not yet the winter solstice. According to what Jia Qi said, at first glance, there were indeed some plank roads built openly to covertly visit Chencang.
Dislike.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Mingkang looked embarrassed. Although he knew that Jia Qi would not lie, but in this situation, he could not say that the champion had ever told a lie? Such a reason is too far-fetched.
, unable to convince everyone.
However, after hearing the other party's words, Jia Qi was not moved at all, and continued: "Spring planting and autumn harvest are the principles of heaven and earth. However, there are some exceptions. In Hainan County, crops are harvested three times a year. You should have already
Have you seen this before?"
"The two crops I brought back this time can be sown by then. It will only take about four months to verify the authenticity!"
"Now, I am in the capital. If there are people who do not want to believe me, they are willing to bet their wealth and life with me. If there is no output as I said, I am willing to take the blame. If there is the output as I said, I will take the blame."
, I ask the emperor to make the decision and punish the nine clans!!"
"I will never let go of those who confuse the public with their monstrous words and intend to fan the flames of trouble and cut off the lifeblood of our great prosperity!!"
After saying that, there was a sudden silence in the court hall. There was indeed no one left at this time. Dare you say anything?
The Zeng family had their heads pounding and were barbarized by ten clans. The lessons from their past are still before their eyes. They don't want to become the second Zeng family.
