"My sister is smarter than me..."
Yuchi Feng muttered softly, "Mom said that if I can't study in the future, I will go into business..."
"I won't starve to death anyway."
Emperor Dewu: ...
Don’t you have any lofty ambitions?
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue requests an audience." A guard hurried in.
Emperor Dewu said calmly, "Let him in."
"yes!"
Not long after the guards left, the Minister of Revenue walked in.
He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "Your humble servant pays respect to the Emperor!"
"Stand up!"
"Yes!" Minister of Revenue Kang Man stood up. He had been sent by Emperor Dewu to build a dam. As soon as the dam was built, he brought his men back.
After that, I was busy all the time and didn't dare to stop and rest for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I've discovered that there's something wrong with the current grain production."
The Minister of Revenue said loudly, "In previous years, the people could produce 350 catties per mu, but this year it's only 300 catties. If this continues, famine will sooner or later occur!"
"Your Majesty, I beg you to think of a solution."
He really had no idea what to do. He really couldn't think of it.
"I have to figure out everything, what use do I have for you?"
Emperor Dewu started to curse, but after he finished cursing, he realized the seriousness of the matter. Food was a big problem.
He also didn't want to see the people starve.
As for buying food from other countries?
That is not a long-term solution after all.
We still need to find ways to increase grain production.
Emperor Dewu fell into deep thought.
The Minister of Revenue knelt down below, not daring to say a word. His job was becoming increasingly difficult.
If you find a problem, tell the emperor or you will be scolded.
If you don’t tell the emperor, you will be beheaded.
His heart was in turmoil every day.
Seeing that Emperor Dewu was in trouble, Yuchi Xi also felt embarrassed.
[Hey! I do have a good idea to increase food production, but I'm not sure how to share it directly!]
[Let's not even talk about whether anyone would believe me if I told them this. Even if they believed me, implemented it, and it really did increase production, how would I explain that I knew all this?]
Yuchi Xi: Sad!
She wanted to help, but she couldn't!
You asked her to help the people farm directly, but that's impossible.
She is so young!
Could it be that she has to go farming when she is only one year old?
Her method can be taught, it just depends on how she teaches it.
Emperor Dewu raised his eyebrows. Oh? Xi'er has a solution?
Emperor Dewu didn't want Yuchi Xi to know that he knew what she was thinking, so he wanted to find a reason so that she could speak out without worry.
Emperor Dewu thought about it carefully and said, "How about this, to motivate everyone, anyone who can find a way to increase grain production will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"
Yuchi Xi:!!!!!!
[Dad, you've successfully inspired me, but! I still can't say it directly! ]
[Wow, dad, you're making me die of greed!]
【My money, I want it so badly! 】
Emperor Dewu lowered his eyes and smiled softly. "To allow everyone to participate, I have decided to collect ideas from all over. So, starting from the Imperial Palace, we will set up an idea box. Anyone who has ideas for increasing grain production can submit their ideas into the idea box."
"I will screen them and have people try them."
"If it's feasible, then reward it."
"If no one in the palace has a good idea, put an idea box outside the palace to collect ideas from the people."
After a pause, Emperor Dewu sneered, "Don't lose to ordinary people."
Minister of Revenue:!!!
They will never lose!
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best!"
You have to rack your brains to come up with some ideas!
Yuchi Xi:!!!
【Isn't this tailor-made for me?】
[Dad, you are really smart, woooo, Dad’s brain is really useful! ]
Emperor Dewu: Proud.
That's right, don't you see who my father is!
Yuchi Xi decided that she would submit her ideas secretly.
Emperor Dewu also breathed a sigh of relief. He came up with this idea in the hope that Xier would feel free to submit her ideas.
Anyway, he won't disclose who delivered it.
There are so many people in the palace, let them guess!
After leaving the palace, the Minister of Revenue told the other officials he was on good terms with about the matter, and those officials told other officials they were on good terms with.
Gradually, everyone knew about it.
No one wants to lose!
They gathered everyone in the house together to find a solution!
As soon as they think of one, they write it down immediately. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, they have to at least submit an idea. This is an opportunity to show their presence in front of the emperor!
When Shu Yanghong learned about this, he also wrote down his thoughts, which were simple and unpretentious.
I believe that as long as we have money, we can buy food from other countries to solve the problem. I am willing to donate some money to help the people buy food.
Shu Yanghong now has a title and can enter the palace. After he finished writing, he immediately went into the palace and submitted his ideas to the idea box.
The Minister of Revenue beside him saw him and quickly greeted him, "Brother Shu, what good idea did you come up with?"
Shu Yanghong smiled and said, "What good ideas? None!"
"For me, participation is what's important."
Minister of Revenue: ...
What a great idea that participation is important!
In the palace, many maids and servants also submitted their ideas, and the important thing was to participate.
Regardless of whether you can be selected or not, the important thing is that the emperor will see it personally!
