Chapter 708

"Your Majesty is here!" with Pound's sharp voice, the first day session officially began.

Under the leadership of Fang Xuanling, hundreds of officials rushed into the Tai Chi hall. The originally spacious Tai Chi hall was immediately crowded with officials inside and outside.

"Lord Su won't go to the front?" Merton pointed to the position ahead and said to Su Lingnong.

Su Lingnong's official position is the third grade. Standing beside Merton, who is from the sixth grade, he is particularly conspicuous. Just now, Su Lingnong said that today's standing column is sorted according to the official position.

Su Lingnong smiled like a simple old farmer and said, "I'm in the court hall. It can be said that I'm dispensable. There are many old men, but not many young ones. Where can I stand?"

The position of Da Si Nong has become extremely embarrassing after the reform of successive dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, he is only a prominent position and has no real power. Su Lingnong is the only remaining fruit of the peasant family. He has a detached position in the court hall. Naturally, no one cares where he stands.

"Congratulations on your Majesty's Spring Festival!"

Under the leadership of Fang Xuanling, the ministers congratulated.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then Fang Xuanling took out his memorial, quoted scriptures, praised Li Shimin's great achievements in the past year, and looked forward to the bright future of Zhenguan in the past nine years.

The ministers were intoxicated, but Merton was confused. He also studied Confucianism, but he only knew a little about these awkward words. It was difficult for Fang Xuanling to read these cadences smoothly.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling soon ended, and then officials from all over the country offered tribute.

"Ten jars of wine from Jiannan road!..."

"Jiangnan Road sends a bamboo tree with pearls!......"

"Huainan road..."

The sheriffs from all walks of life sent rich tributes, all of which were valuable.

"Lingnan road brought ten Jadeites, ten beautiful jades and ten precious stones..." when Feng Zhidai offered tribute on behalf of Lingnan Road, the whole court couldn't help but be in an uproar. Among the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid the Feng family on Lingnan road sent the most treasures.

"I'm afraid your Majesty's change of land to flow has frightened the king of Lingnan. This time, the Feng family has paid blood." Su Lingnong gloated. He has a superior position in the court hall, but he sees it very accurately.

Since Merton offered the strategy of changing the land to the flow, the imperial court suddenly changed the land to the flow of the three Liao tribes, adding three new counties to the Tang Dynasty. This naturally aroused thousands of waves with one stone, and the Liao tribes surged.

However, the imperial court had been prepared for it. The troops were mobilized again and again, and envoys were sent to appease them. Only then could the situation be stabilized. Then the military parade showed invincible military power, which subdued the Liao tribe.

Among the people who have changed the land to return to the flow, I'm afraid the Feng family is the most worried. If the Feng family has controlled Lingnan road for several generations, if the land to return to the flow is implemented in Lingnan Road, I'm afraid the Feng family will be the first to move.

"I'm afraid the Feng family hates the boy," Merton said with a bitter smile.

Su Lingnong shook his head and said, "you're worried. Although Feng Zhidai doesn't become a climate, Feng ang is a smart man. Even if he doesn't change the soil to flow, can his Feng family control Lingnan road forever."

I'm afraid the Feng family had a place only at the time of the alternation of dynasties. Now, in the life of the Tang Dynasty, how can the court tolerate the long-term control of Lingnan road in the hands of one family? I'm afraid the Feng family's transfer from Lingnan road will come to an end sooner or later.

"Feng Aiqing has a heart!" Li Shimin couldn't help smiling with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, these are just vulgar things. My father sent me another good news this time. I believe your majesty will be happy after hearing it." Feng Zhidai bowed.

"Oh! Speak quickly." Li Shimin looked at Feng Zhidai unexpectedly.

Feng Zhi showed a trace of pride when Dayton said: "Johor rice has been tested in Lingnan for only one year. Up to now, it has been harvested for three seasons, up to four loads of rice per season, and it is very easy to plant, waterlogging and drought resistant."

"Three seasons a year, four loads a season, can't you harvest twelve loads of rice a year?"

When Feng Zhidai finished, man Chaodun made an uproar. The harvest of 12 loads a year is probably the most high-yield grain in the Tang Dynasty. Once Johor rice is popularized in the south, I'm afraid there will be no food shortage in the Tang Dynasty.

"Seriously?" Li Shimin said suddenly.

No matter how valuable the other gifts were, he would not take them to heart, but Johor rice made him more happy. You know, the general rice yield in the Tang Dynasty was only one or two loads, mostly two years and three seasons. Suddenly Johor rice reached three seasons a year. Even if Lingnan road could reach four loads of high yield at the expense of fertility, it should be easy for ordinary farmers to reach three loads. In this way, There are also nearly ten loads of output per mu a year.

Feng Zhidai respectfully said, "don't worry, your majesty. How can the Feng family commit the crime of bullying the king."

Li Shimin nodded. How could he hide such things? The yield of Johor rice is so high that he must promote the southern Taoism in the future. The Manchu courtiers could not help but rejoice.

"Feng Aiqing has a heart. If the trial planting of Johor rice is successful, Feng Aiqing should take the lead." Li Shimin said excitedly.

"Your Majesty is flattered. This is what the Feng family should do." Feng Zhi said with a surprised look on his face.

"The position of the Feng family has been preserved!" the Manchu courtiers sighed and said.

For a long time, chaotang was dissatisfied with the Feng family's control of Lingnan Road, and the advice to transfer the Feng family from Lingnan road was often sent to Li Shimin's desk. Now the Feng family has made such great achievements, at least when Feng ang was alive, chaotang will not move the Feng family.

Of course, the Feng family did not rely on the whole merit, but stole the achievements of the Mohist school. Otherwise, the Feng family will be able to go to another level with this merit alone.

Immediately, many people looked vaguely at Merton in the rear. If the Feng family didn't block the way and rob, I'm afraid the credit would belong to the Mohist son alone.

"Mo sacrificing wine regrets it!" Su Lingnong touched Merton.

Merton smiled and said, "Johor rice is supposed to grow in the heat. Even if Mo gets the rice seed, he will finally send it to Lingnan road for trial planting. Lord Su's trial planting is not very successful!"

Su Lingnong's face darkened. He also got a batch of Johor rice seeds in the Si Nong temple. However, the trial planting situation was not optimistic. It was only two crops a year, and the yield was less than three loads, which could not achieve the expected goal. He originally wanted to continue to improve and then report to the court, but he didn't expect that the trial planting in Lingnan road was successful.

"It's just a matter of water and soil! After waiting for several generations of Johor rice, the water and soil in Datang will certainly improve greatly. If you cross with Datang late rice, you may be able to get better varieties." Merton doesn't doubt this situation, but how can the introduction of new varieties be smooth sailing.

Su Lingnong nodded thoughtfully and said: "I inform your majesty that since Johor rice can be planted on Lingnan road and Johor is not too far from Lingnan, please send someone to Johor to get seeds. I will plant this rice one day earlier in Datang, and the people all over the world will benefit one day earlier."

"That's very kind!" Li Shimin readily agreed.

"Your Majesty, there are many boats on the sea in Lingnan. It doesn't need your majesty to make a big fight. Lingnan road can do it naturally." Feng Zhidai immediately volunteered. There are many maritime merchants in Lingnan road. It's still very simple to transport a batch of rice seeds back from Johor. With the status of the Feng family, many people are willing to serve.

"I've been waiting for good news from Feng Aiqing!" Li Shimin nodded.

"I will certainly not disappoint your majesty!"

Feng Zhidai got the result he wanted and retired with satisfaction.

"Today is the first day of the year. You must all want to go home for a reunion. I won't disturb you and disperse the dynasty!" Li Shimin waved his hand and the first day of the year's day meeting officially ended.
