"Fang Qing... do you dare to take responsibility for what you said?" After the ecstasy, Emperor Jing's expression returned to solemnity.
Such a major event cannot afford to go wrong. If he leads all the officials to Taoyuan County and finds out that he has been fooled, then the entire court will be humiliated.
Seeing Fang Zheng's confident look, he had no choice but to believe it.
But common sense and rationality kept telling him that it was impossible for crops in this world to produce 800 kilograms per mu. You know, the average yield of crops in the country is only around 350 kilograms per mu.
The amount has more than doubled in an instant. Wouldn’t the world change?
"Your Majesty! I am willing to use my head as a guarantee!!"
Fang Zheng's powerful answer shocked everyone.
However, there are still a small group of people who look down on him and sneer at him.
If such a flatterer were to bury the things in the ground in advance, we would have something to look at when the time comes.
"Well then! I will go to Taoyuan County tomorrow! Who among you is willing to go with me?"
All the officials naturally agreed happily.
Fang Zheng said something shocking. No news could be bigger than this. If what he said was true, then Dajing's future would be limitless.
If what is said is false, there is still a good show to watch. Who wouldn't go for such a good thing?
Fang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Inviting the emperor to visit Taoyuan was part of the plan, and the birth of the sweet potato must shock everyone.
Shock again and again!
Only then can the news spread as widely as possible throughout the world, causing a significant drop in food prices now and even in the next few months!
In order to ensure the effect, he deliberately lowered the output by several hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, Emperor Jing agreed, and I wrote to Taoyuan County two days in advance to prepare in advance. I hope the people in the county can be better prepared...
After the court was dismissed, Fang Zhengyi ignored Li Yuanzhao's call and ran straight to Mingluan Palace.
Sanitary napkins have not been widely promoted in the palace recently. Li Yuanzhao said that the princess was scolded several times.
Fang Zhengyi was also very embarrassed.
But because I was too busy with the things at hand, I never had time to deal with it.
Now is a good opportunity... This time I can persuade the princess to go over and let her see the female medical clinic in Taoyuan County and give her some common sense.
Li Miaohan is young. If she backs down after being scolded, will she still be able to sell sanitary napkins?
You can't really force Li Yuanzhao to sell sanitary napkins in the palace, otherwise Emperor Jing would get himself pissed off, right?
Fang Zhengyi ran in front, and Li Yuanzhao kept shouting and cursing behind him.
However, due to the recent hard work, he was unable to catch up despite his originally good physical condition.
When they arrived at Mingluan Hall, they found that Fang Zhengyi was already sitting with Li Miaohan. Li Yuanzhao sat aside helplessly and angrily.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, long time no see. How are you feeling lately?"
Li Miaohan blushed and said ashamedly, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Fang. I am in good health recently, but... the promotion of sanitary napkins... is a bit difficult... I'm sorry."
What an honest girl! She is completely different from Li Yuanzhao!
Fang Zheng said, "Your Highness has done a great job! After all, this is for the benefit of the people of the world. How can it be solved overnight? Don't worry! I, Fang Zheng, will always stand by your side."
"Your Highness, don't be too anxious. Some things are slow to achieve. It just so happens that His Majesty will be visiting Taoyuan County tomorrow. Sanitary napkins have already been promoted in Taoyuan County. Your Highness can go to the county to learn from the advanced experience."
"And Princess, you can also relax in Taoyuan County with me. You can stay at my house. My house is quite big. You can sleep directly when you are tired of walking around. No problem!"
After listening to Fang Zhengyi's words, Li Miaohan lowered her head shyly and nodded twice imperceptibly.
Oh~ the princess is blushing, Fang Zheng secretly smiled in his heart.
Li Yuanzhao next to him is about to eat someone!
With red light in his eyes, he angrily said, "Lao Fang! You can't be so shameless!"
"Brother! How can you talk like that! Lord Fang cultivates crops for the people of the world and manufactures sanitary napkins for women all over the world. How hard it must be for him! You are going too far!"
Without waiting for Fang Zheng to speak, Li Miaohan raised her pretty face and looked at Li Yuanzhao with indignation.
Li Yuanzhao was suddenly struck by lightning and stood there in a trance.
Fang Zhengyi said quickly: "Princess, I am ashamed to hear you say that. I am only fulfilling my duty as an official."
"Your Highness has been working so hard for the people during this period. I feel so sad when I see this."
Li Miaohan looked at Fang Zhengyi with admiration, and then glanced at Li Yuanzhao with contempt.
We are all human beings. Why are you so bad?
Li Yuanzhao was speechless at first, but when he saw Li Miaohan's look, he became furious: "Then go sleep at his house!!"
"Brother! What nonsense are you talking about? You've gone too far!" Li Miaohan's eyes slowly turned red, and then she ran away crying.
Fang Zhengyi smiled awkwardly and shouted at her back, "Princess, don't forget to come tomorrow. I'm waiting for you!"
Then he turned to look at Li Yuanzhao and said, "Your Highness... Then I will go home and prepare first, and we will set off tomorrow."
After saying that, he ran away like the wind, with Li Yuanzhao chasing after him and scolding him...
...............
In Taoyuan County Government Office.
Ao Chen held a piece of letter paper in his hand. Twenty-five people stood in front of him, and there was a group of minor officials around him waiting to receive orders.
"Everyone, the master has sent a letter, and has a task assigned to you."
"Everyone present here is proficient in mathematics, and your business skills are trusted by the master. This mission is of great importance and will take a year."
"The master said that you can choose for yourselves. Those who are willing to go can stay, and those who don't want to go can leave on their own."
"Each of you will be rewarded 100 taels of silver after your assignment. From now on, all your family's expenses at the clinic will be covered by the county government. Even your children's school fees will be fully covered by the county government."
"These are the conditions, you can decide for yourself!"
For a long time, none of the twenty-five people left.
Ao Chen continued: "Okay! Since you have all participated by default, then I will explain the master's instructions."
"The twenty-five people present here will take one hundred thousand taels of silver to the south to provide disaster relief, mainly in Jianjiang Prefecture. They will wait for an opportunity when grain prices fluctuate, and return in a year."
"We don't seek profit, but we can't afford losses either. We took out 100,000 taels of silver, and we must get it back in full!"
"Do you understand everything?"
Someone suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Did the master tell us how far the work has been carried out? Is it necessary to suppress the grain price?"
"The master didn't say anything, but he asked you to bring a boatload of sweet potatoes. If necessary, spread the news in the market and take action when the time is right. The rest is up to fate."
"And the master also sent back a map of the south. Take it with you when you leave."
After that, Ao Chen took out a map and handed it over: "Okay, that's it. Be sure to pay attention to safety, write to me if you have any questions, and everyone go back and prepare as soon as possible."
