Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Seeing that the people onlookers had almost finished eating, Xiao Jie ordered some servants to bring over some people who had already eaten mashed potatoes.

Just now when the guys went to distribute mashed potatoes, these people were the ones who grabbed the most energy, but they didn't expect that the price would be to be brought over by the officials for questioning. They couldn't help feeling uneasy and annoyed. Come on, get out of trouble now.

Although Xiao Jie specially ordered the servants not to be violent and could only bring them here with good words, but these people looked at the high-ranking officials in front of them, and looked at the emperor surrounded by guards , All of a sudden, I felt my head was blank, my legs were weak, and I fell to my knees one after another, looking at the ground, not daring to raise my head at all, lest I offend Tian Yan.

The people who were still noisy at first quieted down in an instant. They all looked at this side, their eyes full of surprise. Those who had eaten mashed potatoes felt uneasy, and those who hadn’t, secretly rejoiced that they were lucky not to eat.

The reaction of the common people was within Xiao Ji's expectations. After all, no one is afraid of the might of the Son of Heaven, but he still tried to keep his tone gentle, and said to the common people in a harmonious voice: "Everyone get up and answer, you don't have to be so nervous, I Nothing else, just wanted to ask you a few questions."

Hearing that the emperor just asked them a few simple questions, these people secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Some people wanted to stand up, but no one dared to stand up, so Ji Ling hurriedly lowered his body, for fear that the emperor would notice him .

Seeing this, Xiao Ji didn't make things difficult for them anymore, but shook his head helplessly, and continued to ask: "Compared with the food you usually eat, how does this potato taste?"

These people lowered their heads and looked at me and you one by one, none of them dared to raise their heads to answer.

Seeing the embarrassing scene, Lian Yi on the side couldn't help coughing heavily, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is asking you something, how dare you not answer the truth?"

As a eunuch, Lian Yi's voice was naturally sharp, and this voice directly frightened the people's bodies, and they all nodded hurriedly and said that potatoes are delicious.

Obviously speaking the truth, but looking at it as words spoken against their will under intimidation, some officials couldn't help but bow their heads and laugh.

Seeing that Lian Yi had frightened these common people, Xiao Ji immediately gave him a hard look, obviously blaming him for frightening the common people and ruining his business.

Lian Yi also feels a little wronged. He has been in the palace since he was a child and has been serving Xiao Ji. He is best at guessing the emperor's thoughts, and he is also able to play well between concubines, princes, princesses and ministers. But facing these honest and timid people, He really can't do anything about it.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xiao Jie stood up, looked at these people who were trembling with fright, and said in a good voice: "You don't have to be afraid, you just answer the questions the emperor asks you truthfully, if you answer well, I will Each of you will give you a bag of potatoes to take home and eat with your family."

When they heard that His Royal Highness King Qi wanted to give them a bag of potatoes, the eyes of these people couldn't help but brighten up, darling, how many meals can a bag of potatoes be enough for themselves and their families.

The officials present were also a little dumbfounded, but although Xiao Jie's actions were a bit absurd, no one dared to question them, but Lian Yi saw that Xiao Ji's expression eased a lot, and he couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, secretly feeling that he was still King Qi Your Highness has a solution.

Since there is a reward for answering, one of the common people plucked up the courage to stammer and reply: "Return...return to the emperor, Caomin feel...that potatoes are more... tastier... some."

Xiao Ji was very satisfied that someone finally answered his words, so he smiled and continued to ask: "What's your name? Do you think if you eat these potatoes as a meal, you will be full?"

Hearing that the emperor's tone was so kind, the people were not so nervous anymore, and they stopped stuttering: "Back to the emperor, the grass people's name is Niu San, the grass people think that this potato is not only better than the yellow rice porridge that the grass people usually eat , and it tastes more filling."

As soon as Niu San said this, the other commoners boldly echoed: "That's right, Your Majesty, we also feel the same way."

These people are really not talking nonsense. Few of them can afford rice and white noodles. Most of them eat yellow rice porridge on weekdays.

In contrast, mashed potatoes have a large portion and are mixed with a little salt. It tastes not only delicious, but also full of satiety. If it can be used as a meal every day, it is simply a fairy enjoyment.

Xiao Ji was in a good mood when he got the answer he wanted, so he smiled and said to Xiao Jie who was beside him: "Ju'er, take them down, don't forget your promise, remember to give each of them a bag of potatoes."

Speaking of this, he looked at Niu San, and continued to smile and added: "This Niu San has performed well, so you can give him two more bags, and give him another ten taels of silver."

Xiao Jie also smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, since my son has spoken first, he will never break his promise."

After Xiao Jie summoned the servants to take these people down, Xiao Ji turned his attention to Lu Yong, the Minister of the Household Department, and asked with a smile: "Lu Qing's family, your Household Department is in charge of the world's money and food. As the Minister of the Household Department, you are fine. Want to say something?"

Lu Yong immediately knelt down on the ground, and his tone was very excited: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, potatoes are gods, the ancestors of Daning are virtuous, and the common people are lucky."

Although what Lu Yong said was a bit exaggerated, the other ministers present could understand his excitement. After all, they all knew in their hearts that once such a high-yield staple food was promoted in Daning, what it would mean to the world, it meant a sharp increase in food production, How many people can be fed and how many problems can be solved.

To promote potatoes, the Household Department must play an important role. Lu Yong, as the Minister of the Household Department, is enough to shine in history.

They spend their whole lives as officials, isn't what they want is a name after death?

For a moment, they looked at Lu Yong with only envy and jealousy in their eyes.

But for Lu Yong's words, Xiao Ji didn't say yes or no. Instead, he looked at Xiao Jie and corrected him lightly: "Potatoes are not something that fell from heaven, but King Qi sent people to travel thousands of miles to the west to find them."

Lu Yong knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and was a little embarrassed for a while, but Xiao Jie stepped forward at the right time, pulled his ninth younger brother Xiao Jue over, and said to Xiao Ji, "Report to Father, although it is true that the potatoes were recovered by my ministers, but the matter of planting is not true." The ninth younger brother has always been in charge, if he hadn't been involved in everything and did everything himself, the potatoes brought back may not have such a good harvest, so I think that in terms of credit, the ninth younger brother should be the number one."

Hearing that Brother Seven put all the credit on him, Xiao Jue felt his nose ache, but he still shook his head resolutely and said, "Father, I dare not take the credit. I just follow Brother Seven's orders. There is some hard work, but when it comes to credit, Brother Seven is the number one."

All the ministers were in a daze for a while. Of course they knew the weight of this contribution, but they didn't expect that the two brothers Qi Wang and Wu Wang would actually give in to each other. Who said that the royal family has no brothers.

Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Jue, who was tanned and thin, feeling distressed and emotional in his heart, so he smiled at Xiao Jue: "At the beginning, I said something first, and when the new crops are harvested, I will give you the title of Yangzhou. Metropolitan Governor, you are not joking, now that the potato harvest has been plentiful, I should honor my promise and formally confer on you as the Metropolitan Governor of Yangzhou."

Xiao Jue's nose was sore again, and he looked at the smiling seventh elder brother Xiao Jie, his eyes were slightly red, and then he knelt down on the ground, and thanked him: "I have thanked my father."

Xiao Ji helped Xiao Jue up, then looked at the sky, smiled and said: "It's getting late, I should go back to the palace."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers and Xiao Jue were stunned for a moment. What do you mean, King Qi is just being humble and polite, the emperor really only rewarded King Wu, and didn't intend to reward King Qi who has made more contributions?

Xiao Jie's expression is as usual, he is now the king of Qi, and he has been awarded the governor of Qingzhou and the captain of Sili. Even his son and daughter who are still babbling have been named King Wuwei and Princess Yunmeng, he doesn't know What other weird titles could his father grant him.

But within a few days, he knew that he was wrong, because news came from Zhongshu Sheng and Zongzheng Temple at the same time that he was about to be officially registered as the prince!
