"good."
Li Yunqing replied.
I still value words very much.
Cao Xiong had a headache and didn't know whether the other party understood him.
But it’s hard to say more.
He looked at the bag again and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Li, just a quick question, what's in this bag?"
"The treasure I planted!"
Li Yunqing replied.
“…”
Cao Xiong was still waiting for him to continue speaking, but after a while he realized that the other party had already finished speaking.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and he said awkwardly, "I see."
But I became more and more worried. I wondered if this guy would react like this when he met the emperor. That would be very embarrassing.
But he at least knew one thing, that this treasure was grown.
What treasures are grown?
Just as I was thinking about whether to say a few more words, I found that I had arrived at the North Study.
I had to give up.
Just as he was about to report to the inside, Zhao Xin inside seemed to have been paying attention to the movements outside for a long time and took the initiative to speak: "Have you brought the treasure present? Please come in!"
“Here!”
Although Cao Xiong felt that the emperor seemed a little too eager, he still agreed respectfully, then turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yunqing.
"Mr. Li, please!"
After saying that, he led Li Yunqing in front again and walked into the door with his head lowered.
When I looked up, I saw that the emperor had stood up at some point.
Without waiting for him to speak, she took the initiative again and asked, "Are you the one who presented the treasure?"
"yes."
Li Yunqing was still dull, but he did not behave disrespectfully in front of the king as Cao Xiong had worried.
After agreeing, he slowly and solemnly bowed, saying, "I, Li Yunqing, an official from the Shanglin Garden, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Xin was stunned when he saw that he was wearing official uniform but calling himself a commoner.
Li Yunqing explained slowly, "I am just a clerk, without any rank, and therefore not considered an official."
Cao Xiong, who was standing by, saw that he not only knew how to perform etiquette, but could also see through the emperor's confusion, and then took the initiative to explain.
While feeling relieved, he also felt a little annoyed. "It turns out this person is not stupid. Okay, we worried for nothing."
Zhao Xin nodded slightly. "I see. Although I have no rank, since I am an official, I am still your subject. You may refer to yourself as your subject."
Then he said impatiently, "Where are the treasures you presented? Present them to me and let me see them!"
This time, not only Cao Xiong, but also Li Yunqing were a little surprised.
Generally speaking, at this time, shouldn’t you first ask what the treasure is?
He didn't even ask any questions and just asked them to present it.
Zhao Xin realized that he had indeed acted a little too hastily.
He coughed lightly and said, "I just had a dream while taking a nap in my study. In the dream, it seemed as if a sage whispered in my ear that someone was coming to offer a treasure. He also said that this treasure could produce ten dan per mu and would ensure that there would be no more famine in the Great Qin.
I was unsure whether it was true or not, when I suddenly heard someone was offering a treasure. I wondered if what the sage said was true.
Cao Xiong suddenly understood after hearing this... So that's why Your Majesty is so anxious. It turns out that you think about something when you walk and dream about it when you sleep.
Your Majesty is so benevolent that even when he is resting he dreams about the people's meals.
But I'm afraid Your Majesty will be disappointed this time.
How could there be such a treasure in this world?
Li Yunqing was very surprised when he heard this. Even though he was naturally dull and rarely showed any expression, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
Regarding my coming to present treasures, an ancient sage actually appeared in a dream to Your Majesty.
No wonder I studied the method of growing this thing for a long time but couldn't get it right. But not long ago, I suddenly made a breakthrough, and after trying it, I finally got a reward today.
Emotions are all helped by our predecessors.
It is true that God blesses our Great Qin!
If that's the case, then the rumors that Your Majesty is a tyrant are probably false. If he were a tyrant, how could the sages help him?
I was so excited that my speaking speed was several times faster than usual, almost as fast as that of an average person.
"Your Majesty, that is exactly what happened."
Then he apologized again.
Only then did Zhao Xin notice that he was so busy talking about the treasure that he forgot to ask the other person to get up.
He quickly extended his hand to support him and said, "My dear, please stand up quickly, Cao Xiong, and present the treasure."
"Yes."
When Cao Xiong saw that Li Yunqing actually said that was exactly the case, he wondered if this thing could really produce ten stones per mu?
However, after hearing Zhao Xin's order, he did not dare to delay. He quickly took the cloth bag from Li Yunqing's hand, which the other party was reluctant to part with, and then carefully held it in front of the emperor's desk.
Li Yunqing then continued, "Your Majesty, I don't know the name of this thing. I once found it in the mountains outside Shanglin Garden. I tried eating it and found it to be sweet and delicious, and very filling.
And since one plant produced a lot, I tried to plant it.
Unfortunately, after several rounds of selective cultivation by me, although the yield has increased a lot, unfortunately, the amount of seeds required is also very large.
I have tried many methods but could not find a solution. Until a few days ago, I suddenly felt something in my dream and hurried to the fields. Sure enough, I found that the vines of this thing could actually take root.
So I cut off the vines of the plant and planted it again, and today I really got something.
Thinking about it today, it is indeed as Your Majesty said, it is truly the sentiment of the ancient sages!"
Zhao Xin was opening the bag and looking inside. When he saw what was in the bag, he immediately smiled.
That’s right, isn’t this the sweet potato from the Chinese world?
And it looks like it's bigger.
I was just wondering if it would be foolish of me to make one now to try.
Hearing his words suddenly, she looked up in surprise, "My dear, did you also find the method of growing this plant through a sudden inspiration in a dream?"
Even Cao Xiong, who was secretly watching from behind Zhao Xin, was stunned and also looked up at Li Yunqing.
If it weren't for the fact that the other person's appearance and demeanor did not seem like that of a cunning person, both of them would have suspected that he was a cunning person.
However, Cao Xiong reacted quickly, swiftly dodging before the emperor and prostrating himself, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your majesty's benevolence has moved the ancient sages, who have recognized Your Majesty as a true sage."
Therefore, I entrusted this treasure to Lord Li. From now on, the people of Great Qin will never suffer from famine again, all thanks to Your Majesty's grace!"
Zhao Xin smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, Cao Xiong’s flattery was pretty good. Except that Zhao Xin was moved by the system instead of the sages, everything else seemed correct.
However, Zhao Xin humbly waved his hand and said, "This statement is biased. What virtue do I possess? I am simply sincere and always care about the people.
What the ancient sages felt was the resilience of the people of our Great Qin, so they used Li Qing to cultivate this treasure and used me to promote it to the world.
If we really talk about merit, Li Qing's contribution is ten times greater than mine."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yunqing again.
The latter quickly said, "I dare not take credit for it. If Your Majesty can allow me to promote the cultivation of this plant, I am willing to do my best!"
