I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 31
"Small book bag, are you dumb?"

In Sanqing Palace, the empress frowned and looked at a child standing in front of her.

The child looked about ten years old, holding a book in his hand, the book was empty.

Hearing what the empress said, the child raised his head and said pitifully, "My lord, why are there no words in the book?"

"At the beginning, the old supervisor was telling me that as long as I can walk into Miyagi, I will be able to understand the words in the book."

"But, I still can't see anything."

"Is the old prisoner lying to me?"

The Empress felt distressed in her heart.

The two supervisors of Qin Tianjian, one old and one young, are both people who give her headaches.

Now, the old man is driving the crane back to the west, and all the affairs of Qin Tianjian are handled by this child nicknamed Little Book Bag.

"I don't know."

The empress suppressed her anger, and asked in a deep voice, "I ask you, Jiang Xingluo, and that Tang Can, what's going on?"

Xiao Shubao asked blankly: "Does it matter?"

"Speak human!" The empress was on the verge of fury.

The small book bag was stunned: "It has nothing to do with Tang Can that the star falls in the southwest, it should be something happened in the south."

"Then is it possible that Tang Can is the person in the prophecy?"

The little book bag looked embarrassed, looking down at the wordless book.

After a while, he said pitifully, "Your Majesty, it's not mentioned in the book."

Empress: "..."

"Should... Maybe... Isn't it?"

Under the staring gaze of the empress, the little book bag wrinkled its face and said pitifully.

Judging by his appearance, if you force him again, you will probably cry.

The empress had no choice but to wave him away.

Alone, meditating for a moment in the Sanqing Palace, a smile appeared on the corner of the Empress's mouth.

Since the little book bag said it shouldn't be, then it wasn't.

For this child, she is very trustworthy.

……

Great Liang, a thriving scene.

Under Xie Anshi's arrangement, Jiang Zuojian and other officials of the prefecture department worked at full capacity and quickly began planning the promotion and planting of sweet potatoes.

"Order Huainan Road to tell Zhao Yongkang that the [-] catties of sweet potatoes are not allowed to be eaten, and all of them are used for farming."

"Also, ask him if he has any spare money. The Annan army still needs money."

Xie Anshi keeps making arrangements in order to cover the whole country with sweet potatoes in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, Yan Liben and officials from the Ministry of Land cracked their abacus to calculate the acreage and harvest for next year.

It was only a rough calculation, and the figure almost shocked everyone's jaws.

The current cultivated area in Great Liang is only over 50 hectares, but next year, this number will nearly double to nearly [-] hectares!

50 hectares, that is, [-] mu, [-] million mu!
Even if there is no sweet potato, the grain harvested in a year will not be the same as when the Great Liang was prosperous.

With sweet potatoes, even if the yield per mu is only 500 catties, that is [-] billion catties of grain.

This number is already close to the grain production of Great Liang in the past ten years.

Xie Anshi swallowed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Could it be? I miscalculated."

"It's a wrong calculation." Yan Liben wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling with excitement: "This is based on the calculation that all the arable land in the country is planted with sweet potatoes."

"If half of the arable land is used to grow sweet potatoes, the rest is used to grow supplementary grains, vegetables, and fruits."

"One year of sweet potatoes is 750 billion catties!"

"Also, sweet potatoes can be planted for two to three seasons a year."

"If it is fully promoted, 1000 billion catties a year will not be a problem!"

"Next year is a critical year for promotion, and the output will be less, but 200 billion catties is not a problem."

hiss!
Xie Anshi took a breath, and the book in his hand slid down his palm.

The eye sockets were reddish, and a gleam of crystal appeared in the corner of the eyes.

He couldn't help but think what kind of picture it would be if sweet potatoes were planted all over the country.

but……

I can only think about it.

First, there were not so many seeds that could be planted all over the country at once.

Secondly, although sweet potatoes are good, it is impossible for people to eat only the staple food and not eat other things.

Even so, Xie Anshi still clenched his fists excitedly: "Great Liang, be happy!"

On the other side, Gao Yuanyi from Wenchang Pavilion had an even better smile.

The empress bestowed fifty acres of sweet potato fields on Tang Can as an auspicious reward.

If someone brought up this matter, the empress would probably have a headache.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearty laughter spread far away.

……

The next day.

Dragon Palace.

In the morning, all the civil and military officials looked happy.

The Great Liang is in a prosperous age, and the whole world celebrates together.

Especially when Xie Anshi, Yan Liben and others reported the sweet potato cultivation plan and production forecast, many officials fainted from happiness.

I am even more excited than when I heard about sweet potatoes last time!
The empress Yuan Shang even had a smile on her lips, indescribably happy.

200 billion catties, a little less, but enough to support her building a palace!
but……

The pleasant atmosphere disappeared when a small official from the Xia Department pointed out that Annan's army was short of 50 taels of military expenditure, which had not yet been allocated.

On the throne, the empress hated her teeth itching.

I really want to say that Tang Can robbed him of 70 taels.

But... that can't be said.

She could only keep a straight face, pretending she didn't hear it.

The little official was not willing to let go, and Li Yaoshi also added to the chaos: "My lord, Qin Shou of the Annan Army left the God City sadly, and returned to Annan empty-handed."

"This matter... I'm afraid it will chill the frontier army, and the army's morale will be unstable!"

One million taels!
The more she said, the more unhappy the empress' face became!

"Enough! This matter, I have my own concerns!" The empress finally got angry and said in a cold voice.

Pharmacist Li didn't want to give up, so he braced himself and said again: "My lord, now there are sweet potatoes..."

"Report~"

"Urgent report~"

"The Annan Army urgent report~"

After three urgent reports in a row, the expressions of all the princes in the court changed drastically!

Even the empress couldn't help being moved!

Could it be that Li Yaoshi's crow's mouth is right?
"pass!"

In a short time, a soldier rushed into the Dragon Palace in a hurry.

Seeing the black cloth tied on his right arm, everyone's eyes were dull.

Pharmacist Li's scalp was even more numb, and he looked at him in disbelief!
"The Annan Army urgently reported that General Chu Sheng died of serious injuries!"

The huge court hall was silent.

Chu Sheng, the general of the Annan Army, is a small man born and raised in Annan.

In the Annan Army, from a small soldier, he climbed up step by step.

Guarding Annan for more than [-] years.

The star fell, so it was him!
The empress quickly came back to her senses, glanced at the ministers, and by falling on Li Yaoshi, her tone was unquestionable: "Li Yaoshi, you go to Annan, and the rest will be discussed separately!"

In this case, it is impossible for Pharmacist Li to bargain, Shen Sheng agreed.

There are a few people who wanted to object.

But after thinking about it, he still closed his mouth.

Even the few people who originally planned to offer a reward to Tang Can were sensible and didn't say anything.

After a few days, Li Yaoshi had left the capital of God and headed for Annan.

The court gradually returned to its former tranquility.

Of course, everyone's expressions are much more relaxed than before.

"My lord, I think that Tang Can, the censor of Suzhengtai and the male of Yi County, has made great contributions to this sweet potato, so he should be rewarded greatly." Xie Anshi clasped his hands and played with a smile.

The empress wanted to delay for a while, her brows were slightly frowned, and she was silent in thought.

Gao Yuanyi, with a smile on his face, said nothing.

At this moment, Yan Liben suddenly said: "Mr. Xie's words are wrong."

Fighting again?Has Yan Liben defected to Gao Yuanyi?
The empress squinted her eyes on the throne.

Wait for things to progress.

"Yan Liben, you are insane and have no conscience!"

"Tang Yushi took you as the general supervisor and made many contributions!"

"Now Prime Minister Xie proposes a reward, but you actually object!"

"Are you still human?"

"Do you still have a conscience?"

"I despise you!"

"Quiet." The empress heard them quarreling for a while without saying anything, and asked with a frown: "Please tell me, Qing family."

Because Jiang Zuojian has made many meritorious deeds recently, Yan Liben has finally been promoted to Qing's family.

"Yes." Yan Liben cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the Tang Yushi's rewards are already rich enough, and any more rewards will hurt the country's roots!"

A gleam of joy flashed in the Empress' eyes.

Yes, yes, Yan Liben is sensible.

However, in the court hall, there was a commotion again.

"Yan Liben, are you still a person?"

"With the merits of Tang Yushi, it is more than enough to seal the king!"

"Now it's just a county male, and the official position is only a mere fifth-rank."

"You actually said that rewards hurt the country!"

"The old man despises you!"

"Tang Yushi can be called the cornerstone of Great Liang, and should be rewarded heavily, Your Majesty!"

Xie Anshi's expression changed.

Cornerstone, that was his title.

This group of bastards who have milk are mothers...

The empress snickered in her heart, her expression was still a bit embarrassed: "I... think Tang Yushi should still reward it."

All the officials praised and shouted long live the saint.

Yan Liben raised objections again.

Once or twice is a rarity.

Three times and five times, it makes people disgusted.

The empress frowned: "Yan Liben, what exactly do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, please finish speaking."

"Say."

"My lord, the sweet potatoes nowadays are all grown on the fief of Tang Yushi." After Yan Liben finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth and looked at the empress with a smile.

The Empress was stunned, and then her face turned ugly little by little.

In addition, he felt that Yan Liben was ugly, very ugly!
All the officials who insulted Yan Liben before were stunned for a moment, and they all reacted, staring at Yan Liben in disbelief.

Russian hectares.

In the court hall, the sound of gasping for air continued to resound!

Apparently, they all remembered that the Empress issued a decree to encourage farming earlier.

"If someone breeds a good variety with a yield of more than [-] catties per mu, calculated according to the cultivated area promoted nationwide, every ten mu will get [-]% of the total grain."

"The yield per mu exceeds a thousand catties of fine seeds, and each mu gets [-]% of the total grain."

"The yield per mu exceeds [-] catties of fine seeds, and each mu gets [-]% of the total grain!"

This means that...

Sweet potatoes are popularized throughout the country, and the imperial court collects one out of ten.

Tang Can, two out of ten.

This time, Tang Can's income was more than the national treasury.

this... this... this...

The empress suddenly felt a little cold in her heart.

In the first place, why did Tang Can give that piece of land to him!

why why!
At this moment, the empress wanted to leave and didn't want to stay in the court.

Especially, I don't want to see Yan Liben's ugly face!

Xie Anshi, who was the first to propose rewarding Tang Can before, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this is a big matter. This matter needs to be discussed in detail. It is better to postpone it!"
