"Your Majesty, I plan to take Ling Sicheng and others to the market after the morning court to display sweet potatoes and potatoes, so that the people can initially understand and taste their deliciousness."

Emperor Yuan nodded slightly, shifted his gaze to Guo Yuanzheng, and called out meaningfully, "Guo Yuanzheng."

Dean Guo Zheng stepped out in response, "I have borrowed a medical book about Gu insects from Miss Ling'er, and am currently studying it with everyone in the Imperial Hospital."

"That's great."

Emperor Yuan continued, "Our Great Xia is vast and rich in resources, but fruits are scarce. Fruits like winter melons, grapes, and pomegranates all need to be supplied by the Western Regions.

The food given by others is not sweet and not satisfying. I want to let the people grow their own food and be self-sufficient. What do you think? "

The Right Prime Minister stepped out first and said, "Your Majesty is wise. If we can grow fruits ourselves, not only will the people be able to taste more fresh fruits, but it will also enhance the national strength of Daxia."

"Your Majesty, I think this matter needs further consideration. Although it is good to grow fruits by ourselves, we need to consider factors such as land and climate and not act blindly. If the planting fails, the people will suffer heavy losses." The left prime minister stepped forward to remind.

“Fruits are not a necessity in life, nor can they be harvested in one year. People should focus on growing food.

Besides, if everyone goes to grow fruits, the food shortage will be even more serious. "The left prime minister said another sentence.

The Minister of Agriculture said, "I think there is no need to promote fruit planting. Let the people choose for themselves."

Civil and military officials expressed their opinions one after another; some agreed, some opposed, and some remained neutral.

After listening to the discussion, Emperor Yuan fixed his gaze on Jiang Yueyang, "Jiang Yueyang, tell me what you think."

When Emperor Yuan mentioned fruit planting, Jiang Yueyang knew that Emperor Yuan would definitely choose her.

Sure enough, what is meant to come will come.

She stepped out calmly and said, "Your Majesty, what the Left Prime Minister said is absolutely right. Food is the foundation of the people's survival and should not be underestimated.

But fruit growing is not without benefits. If planned properly, the two can go hand in hand.

I think we can first select some families in certain areas who are willing to bear the risk of planting to conduct trial planting, and send agricultural officials to provide guidance.

If the planting failed, the court would give those people some compensation. If the planting was successful, the court would gradually promote it.

This will not affect grain production, and will also allow people to enjoy the benefits of growing fruits.

However, while promoting planting, the court had to stipulate that good farmland could not be left idle, could not be used to grow fruit, and that the planting of fruit must be quantified.

In addition, the imperial court should also effectively guide the people to know that fruit is not a necessity in life, and grain is the good thing to avoid famine. "

"What is quantitative?" Emperor Yuan asked.

"It means setting a planting limit or stipulating how much grain can be planted and how much fruit can be planted, so as to ensure basic grain planting."

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan nodded slightly and was about to speak when Jiang Yueyang's voice came again.

"However, it's too early to say this now. We don't even have seeds yet, and we don't know how to plant them. It's good to have confidence, but you can't just think about flying before you even have wings, right?"

Emperor Yuan: “…”

Civil and military officials: "..."

System: [Host, do you want to see who you are talking to now? You are such a rascal!]

[Fuck! I'm so excited.] Jiang Yueyang finally realized what he had just said.

She quickly added: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that the fruit planting can be carried out slowly, there is no need to rush, good things are worth waiting for. Hehe~"

Emperor Yuan looked at Jiang Yueyang for a while without any emotion, then moved his eyes to look at the Minister of Agriculture, "My dear Minister Yu, I heard that a new fruit shop has opened in the capital, maybe we can get the seeds from there."

"I understand."

"Kong Jijiu, for foreign students to study in the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy can use the school buildings and teaching books..."

Emperor Yuan and his civil and military officials went to discuss other matters, so the issue of fruit planting was left undiscussed for the time being.

Jiang Yueyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and was glad that Emperor Yuan did not take her slip of the tongue in front of the palace seriously.

She looked for a while, and after making sure that Emperor Yuan really didn't care about what she had just said, she stealthily took out a pre-peeled macadamia nut from the system space and stuffed one into her mouth.

The person sitting next to her saw this scene with just a casual glance. Seeing her cheeks puffed up and her attention to the emperor above her while eating, he couldn't help but laugh.

The system said: [Host, as the saying goes, if you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be half as good. How can you eat snacks without melons? ]

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials knew that Jiang Yueyang was secretly eating in the back.

Emperor Yuan glanced at Jiang Yueyang out of the corner of his eye, only to see her take out a white thing from her sleeve and put it in her mouth, then chew it like a little hamster.

It made him happy.

The Prince of Qi (the fifth prince) touched his stomach and swallowed. In order to lose weight, he had forced himself not to bring snacks to court, and now he was very hungry.

Minister Jiang sighed helplessly, then touched the snacks in his pocket but didn't take them out.

The Duke of England licked his lips and asked, "What delicious food is Lord Xiao Jiang eating now?"

King Yan secretly looked back and was amused by the way Jiang Yueyang was eating secretly. He accidentally pulled the wound on his abdomen which had not yet fully healed.

Jiang Yueyang chewed the macadamia nut in her mouth, [Eat whose melon you want, I won't stop you. ]

[Then I will eat the melon of Master Ji, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. ]

Lord Ji slowly opened his eyes, and the next second, he guessed what his melon was.

If that thing is discovered, can he still be an official?

Jiang Yueyang didn't know which one was the Zhongshu Sheren, but that didn't stop her from asking: [What's the Zhongshu Sheren's story? ]

【He is physically disabled.】

[What's wrong with it? ] Jiang Yueyang blurted out.

【There. 】

【where? 】

Hearing this, the civil and military officials suddenly understood what the system wanted to express and their faces were filled with shock!

Why is there something missing from Lord Ji's place?

At this moment, Jiang Yueyang paused in her eating and realized what was happening, but she was still not sure.

【Xiaogua, please make your words clearer.】

System: [Mr. Ji is like Li Fuquan, the chief steward, and neither of them has a younger brother.]

Li Fuquan: ...I am the only eunuch here, right?

Jiang Yueyang's eyes widened in shock, [How could he be the same as Li Fuquan? ]

Civil and military officials also secretly agreed: Yes, how could he be the same as Li Fuquan?

He obviously has a child!

Isn't the child his biological child?

Lord Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at his lower body, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

【He cut it off himself.】

【What! ! ! 】
