Chapter 1204 People Watching
Looking at the carts of grain loaded with raised carriages in front of them, everyone opened their mouths in shock.
This batch alone carries 20 million jin, and there are four more batches to come. That’s a lot more aged grain than I can even count.
Even the ministers who were watching came over. They originally came to see the car, but after hearing Feng Yi's words, their attention was focused on the food in the car.
Seeing that they reached out to touch but couldn't reach it, Feng Yi hurriedly greeted everyone.
"Go unload the conveyor belt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several young men unloaded the conveyor belt from the car, pushed the button, and the conveyor belt started moving.
A bulging bag of grain was carried down from above, leaving everyone present dumbfounded once again.
“………………”This thing can actually move!
The bag of food actually slid down from above by itself.
Feng Yi asked someone to open the bag again, revealing the crystal clear rice inside.
"Master Zhao, this is our base's new rice this year. Do you think it's okay?"
Lord Zhao was still thinking about what Feng Yi had just said and was calculating the amount of food. Only after he heard what Feng Yi said did he regain his composure.
He walked up quickly, grabbed a handful of rice in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
The more I looked, the more excited I became, and my eyes became blurry.
"Well, this is definitely top-grade!"
His voice was still shaking. He looked at the rice in his hand as if he was looking at his own child. No one could understand his mood at the moment.
It was worth it that I stayed in the Far North for so long, and I really grew high-quality rice.
Just as I was excited, a figure rushed over and reached directly for the rice bag.
“Alas, you…”
Lord Zhao was about to scold when he realized that the person who squeezed in front of him was actually the emperor.
Everyone also saw the emperor in front of them clearly and was about to kneel down to salute, but the emperor raised his hand to stop them.
"No thanks."
The emperor didn't even look at them, he just grabbed the rice and looked at it carefully.
The public grain that is handed in every year has been seen before, and it always contains some impurities.
There is no comparison with the one in my hand. Not only is it not as clean, but the color is not as crystal clear.
It can be said that rice of this quality has never been seen before. Lord Zhao is right, this is definitely top grade.
The other ministers also grabbed a handful from the bag and examined it carefully.
Seeing that the light here was too dim and fearing that the emperor and the others could not see clearly, Feng Yi hurriedly gestured towards the convoy.
The convoy, which was originally in a long line, slowly turned around and split into two teams, leaving a road in the middle.
The front ends of the cars faced each other and both turned on their headlights, lighting up the road in front of them clearly, which once again stunned everyone.
“………………”
It was so bright that those who had thought it was a torch ran over to touch the headlight.
It's so shiny that it hurts people so much that they can't open their eyes. It's not a torch. I don't know what's inside that it's so bright.
The entire road was lit up as brightly as during the day, and the rice in everyone's hands could be seen clearly.
Under the illumination of the car lights, it appears even more crystal clear.
"Okay, okay! Hahahaha..."
The emperor laughed out loud with excitement, looking at the rice in his hand and then at the cars on both sides of the road, his eyes almost bursting with laughter.
No one could understand his feelings at this moment. He no longer had to worry about the people going hungry next year.
Even if other states cannot deliver the grain, the grain sent by Chen'er is enough to ensure food security.
Although the other ministers did not say anything, they thought the same as the emperor and were even more shocked.
While they were shocked by King Chen's powerful strength, he also had a broad mind that they could not match.
The emperor clearly did not ask Jibei to hand over the public grain, but King Chen took the initiative to hand it over, and it was this kind of special rice. No one can match his magnanimity.
Even Marquis Yongning had to admire him in his heart. An abundant supply of grain in the national treasury was the foundation of a strong country.
King Chen is truly righteous, willing to donate so much food for the stability of the country.
Not to mention the Second Prince, it would be difficult for anyone else to do it.
Prince Chen is not only a man of great talent and strategy, but also wholeheartedly cares for his people. He is definitely the best choice for the crown prince. It's a pity that he is not his sister's son.
Feng Yi took everyone to see the corn in the back and explained the thresher. Looking at the corn with full grains in their hands, everyone was amazed again.
No wonder the public grain is delivered so early, it turns out it is collected using high technology.
Not only was the emperor grinning from ear to ear, but even Concubine Jing beside him had a smug look on her face. Looking at the convoy that stretched as far as the eye could see, she was extremely happy.
While the emperor was not paying attention, he quietly slipped to the back and touched almost every car.
It turns out that this is the car that Chen'er developed. It is indeed much better looking than the tractor.
The onlookers were even more amazed and started touching the cars.
No wonder this thing can pull so much food, it turns out it’s made of iron.
Iron is a luxury, and so many old cars would cost a lot of money.
After stopping for half an hour, Lord Zhao dispersed the people and let the convoy drive into the warehouse.
As the convoy went farther and farther away, the emperor's eyes became moist again and he could not calm down for a long time.
The next morning, the news that the Far North car had come to deliver food spread throughout the capital.
The rumors were so miraculous that the people who had not seen it were extremely worried. Fortunately, three days after they heard about it, the second group arrived.
So, three days later, the second convoy arrived in the capital.
More and more people gathered to watch, as if they were welcoming a victorious general back to the court, and both sides of the road were filled with people.
This caused the convoy to slow down for a while, and it took half a day to unload the grain.
I thought the people were just there to watch the fun, and there wouldn't be so many people next time.
What they didn't expect was that when the third, fourth and even fifth batches of food arrived.
The number of onlookers not only did not decrease, but increased instead.
Almost everyone in the capital came as if they wanted to see the holy words.
Looking at the long convoy moving in front of me, I couldn't help but go up and touch it twice.
Looking at these big iron guys, people's eyes are full of admiring little stars. They are so domineering.
For a time, Jibei and Qingzhou Prefecture became the topic of discussion again, especially Han Muchen, who was regarded by the people as an omnipotent god, and they almost erected a monument for him.
Some are happy while others are depressed. In recent days, the people have been praising King Chen's good deeds, and even the palace is no exception.
No matter where the queen went, she would always hear something about that brat, which made her so upset that she simply refused to leave the yard.
When he saw his son coming over, he expressed his dissatisfaction directly to him.
"Why hasn't the food from your fiefdom been delivered yet?"
The queen looked at her son with dissatisfaction. The food for that little beast had been delivered for several days, but there was still no movement from her son's side.
I'm really too lazy to listen to those gossips, and I don't want to see the vixen showing off.
