Eight hundred and fortieth chapters embarrassed reward
Everyone was silent.
After a long while, Wang Gui said leisurely: "I take back what I just said. Du He has made such great contributions and should be named the Duke of the country."
Changsun Wuji sighed and nodded.
Others stopped talking.
Fang Xuanling said: "In that case, I will go into the palace and inform Your Majesty of this matter!"
Everyone dispersed.
Fang Xuanling entered the palace, went to the imperial study, and reported the results of the discussion to Li Er.
Snap.
When he heard that everyone unanimously agreed to make Du He the Duke of the country, the memorial in Li's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
He was stunned.
Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, is this reward inappropriate? Why don't I ask you all to discuss it carefully?"
Li Er said expressionlessly: "It's not inappropriate for Du He to find a magical object like potatoes and make him a Duke of the country. It's just... Oh, Fang Aiqing, you go down first and I'll think about it carefully!"
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling stepped back in confusion.
He knew from Li Er's expression that this matter would never be that simple!
But I don’t dare to talk nonsense and ask questions!
After Fang Xuanling left, Li Er paced back and forth in the imperial study, like an ant on a hot pot.
Zhao Yang asked curiously: "I wonder what your Majesty is worried about?"
Li Er turned around and glared at Zhao Yang fiercely: "Get out!"
Zhao Yang: "..."
Li Er's heart was very confused.
He remembered what he promised Du He.
If Du He becomes the Duke of the country, he will marry Princess Runan and Princess Changle to him.
At that time, Li Er felt that this matter was impossible, so he established a written document and stamped it with the emperor's seal.
Who knew that this day would come so soon.
Marrying two princesses is simply an outlandish story.
Not making Du He the Duke of the country?
I'm afraid that no one in the world will agree!
The simplest way is to seal it off. As for marrying two princesses, refuse to admit it!
But if Du He made the matter of establishing the document public... what else could Du He, a bastard, not do?
For a moment, Li Er had no clue.
He doesn’t like anyone!
So he waved and called Zhao Yang over.
"Go and greet the Supreme Emperor. I have something to teach him!" Li Er ordered.
Zhao Yang replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is not in the palace these days!"
Li Er was furious: "Trash!"
So he pulled the hat off Zhao Yang's head, threw it to the ground, and stepped on it several times.
Zhao Yang: "..."
…
Hu County.
The backyard of the county government office.
In the past few days, King Li Ke of Shu has been staying at the county government office for food and accommodation.
The reason is also very simple. Nowadays, potatoes can only be eaten here in the entire Tang Dynasty.
In order to satisfy his desire to eat potatoes, Li Ke directly called Dai Jinyun from the Food Research Institute.
Under Du He's guidance, Dai Jinyun can already cook thirty-two potato dishes.
Anyway, it’s all kinds of potatoes!
Du He had eaten a lot of potatoes in his previous life, so naturally he didn't think these potatoes were delicious!
But Li Ke, Ma Zhou and others are different. These guys simply regard potatoes as their staple food.
That night, Du He and several others sat around the fire, burning potatoes and eating them.
Li Ke said with satisfaction: "Speaking of which, everything must return to its true nature. Potatoes are still delicious and authentic, just like that woman. She is the best looking when she is not wearing anything. She is dressed up.
It's all so colorful, but it's lost its flavor..."
Everyone: "..."
Ma Zhou suddenly said: "My lord, news came from Chang'an recently. I heard that some people in the DPRK can't sit still and want to attack again. Let's shut down the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory."
"Huh? Why?" Du He was stunned, "The problem of food shortage will be solved once we start planting potatoes. What excuse do these guys have?"
Ma Zhou explained: "Their reason is also simple, that is, potatoes cannot be grown for the time being, and there is not much grain storage in the Guanzhong area. If they continue to let the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory produce feed, all the grain will be consumed.
I'm afraid that before the potatoes are planted, the people will starve to death!"
Du He smiled helplessly and said: "These guys are really difficult to deal with! Just let them go. In a few days, the rumors will be self-explanatory!"
Seeing that Du He was confident, everyone felt relieved.
…
Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Xuansu gathered many officials from the DPRK and central government to discuss a major matter.
That is to use the pig tycoon pig feed processing factory incident to impeach Du He.
Someone asked: "Mr. Zhang, even if the Pig Tycoon pig feed processing factory is closed, what will be the benefit?"
Zhang Xuansu said proudly: "Everyone, you don't know something. Nowadays, the pig feed processing factory of Pig Tycoon can be described as making money every day. The speed of making money is very scary. Du He will definitely be reluctant to close it. But if His Majesty, His Majesty,
According to the decree, Du He still doesn’t care?”
Someone laughed and said, "Your Excellencies, it's not like you don't know that Du He has resisted the imperial edict once or twice, and His Majesty is partial to him, so naturally he won't do anything to him?"
"No," Zhang Xuan said confidently, "This time, it is different from the past. At present, your Majesty is still undecided about Du He's award. This shows that His Majesty's heart is still at a difficult point in deciding on Du He's award.
At this stage, I'm afraid that His Majesty doesn't want to reward Du He heavily! If Du He resists the decree at this time, wouldn't it give His Majesty an excuse to reduce the reward for Du He? I'm afraid that by then, the Duke will not be able to grant the title.
Well, even Prime Minister Du has nothing to say!"
Everyone suddenly looked happy.
"Wonderful!"
"Master Zhang is so calculating!"
"This strategy is really good!"
"Du He is dead this time!"
Everyone praised him one after another.
So, under Zhang Xuansu's arrangement, everyone made preparations one after another.
Morning the next day.
Zhang Xuansu took the lead and began to impeach Du He again.
The reason for impeachment is that potatoes have not yet been planted, and most of the grain stocks in the counties in the Guanzhong area have been bought by the Dream Group. If the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory is allowed to continue, disaster will occur.
Therefore, Zhang Xuansu and others proposed to temporarily close the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory, and then reopen the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory when potatoes are actually grown and Datang is no longer short of food.
This proposal was supported by the majority of people.
Immediately, more than a dozen officials stood up and handed over memorials to impeach Du He.
Everyone's opinion is surprisingly unanimous, which is to ask His Majesty Li Er to immediately issue an order to have Du He shut down the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory immediately.
Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, all the grain in Chang'an has been purchased by the Dream Group. Now the price of grain has risen two levels higher than before. The people can no longer afford it. There are complaints. If things continue like this, it is the people who will suffer!"
Du He read the memorial and listened to the impassioned statements made by Zhang Xuansu and others, and felt that it made sense.
No matter what the reason is, temporarily shutting down the Pig Tycoon pig feed processing factory now has all the benefits and no harm.
Regarding this matter, no one came forward to speak for Du He.
"In that case..." Li Er muttered, preparing to issue an order.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a figure quickly rushed into the Tai Chi Hall.
It was Li Junxian.
Li Junxian ran into the hall and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the food is here!"
