After successfully eliminating the treacherous officials, Shen Yunsheng did not stop there. Instead, he began his subsequent actions in an extremely high-profile manner.
She found an excuse to leave the main hall, took out the rare grain seeds, and presented them to her brother in front of the assembled officials.
“Brother, these grain seeds I have can not only solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, but also help our Longhai Dynasty become an agricultural powerhouse.”
Tantai Tianming took a closer look and recognized only wheat seeds. The wheat seeds in the bag were different from the wheat seeds he had ever seen. They were not only plump, but also had a glossy sheen.
"Hey, what's so special about your wheat?"
Shen Yunsheng grabbed a handful of wheat seeds and explained them carefully.
"The wheat variety I have is called Damai 585. It is a high-yield wheat that is easy to eat and resistant to lodging. The actual yield is over 4,000 jin per mu."
"4,000 jin per mu? How...how is that possible?" A minister who was over fifty years old couldn't help but ask.
As far as he knew, the highest wheat yield per mu in the Longhai Dynasty would not exceed 400 jin. If the wheat seeds in Shen Yunsheng's hands could really reach a yield of 4,000 jin per mu, wouldn't their Longhai Dynasty be going to become rich?
Shen Yunsheng smiled and looked at the minister who had spoken, "This is a good question, sir. If we still use the old planting methods to grow wheat, the yield per mu will definitely not exceed 400 jin. But if we use scientific methods to grow wheat, the yield per mu will be greatly increased."
The minister pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What are the other two kinds of grain seeds? This old minister has never seen them before."
Shen Yunsheng: "This kind of large seed is called potato. It is a vegetable that can replace staple food. The yield per mu can reach 10,000 jin. The other one is called corn. It is a dryland crop that is as important as wheat. The yield per mu is also very high. I plan to spend a year proving to everyone that what I said is true."
Tantai Tianming was extremely excited. If it was really as good as his sister said, then their Longhai Dynasty would become an agricultural powerhouse, and they wouldn't be afraid even if other countries joined forces to attack them.
"Oh, I believe you're not lying. I will have the people from the Agricultural Department cooperate with you to strive for a bumper harvest next year."
Remembering the task assigned by the system, Shen Yunsheng smiled and suggested, "Brother, I would like to have my father-in-law grow crops with me. Although he has not read many books, he is good at farming."
Tantai Tianming: "You don't need to discuss this with me. You can make the arrangements yourself."
After understanding his wife's meaning, Xiao Jingchuan quickly said to his father, who was standing beside him, "Dad, no job is superior or inferior. You must do your job well and not let everyone down."
Xiao Wenjing nodded repeatedly in agreement, his face filled with disbelief. He never imagined that he, a commoner who had always been overlooked, would receive such great favor and promotion from the Emperor.
Although he was just an ordinary person, he always harbored a heart to serve the court and longed to contribute his remaining energy to the country.
At this moment, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions, and then knelt respectfully in the main hall, solemnly declaring, "Your Majesty, please rest assured! Your humble servant will do his utmost to assist Her Highness the Princess wholeheartedly, and will never dare to slacken in the slightest."
His voice was loud and firm, as if he wanted to convey this determination to everyone present.
Just then, Tantai Tianming personally walked towards Xiao Wenjing. He bent down slightly, reached out his hands, and gently helped Xiao Wenjing up. This action surprised everyone and demonstrated Tantai Tianming's respect and trust for Xiao Wenjing.
"Go for it, Marquis Xiaoyao! I have high hopes for you." Tantai Tianming continued to encourage Xiao Wenjing, as he was already aware of Xiao Wenjing's situation.
As the saying goes, harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. He believes that in the near future, Xiao Wenjing will also be able to find his own value.
After her father-in-law and elder brother sat back down, Shen Yunsheng said to her elder brother in a mysterious tone, "Brother, these seeds are just the first small gift I'm offering. In three days, I have an even more mysterious gift to present to you!"
After saying that, Shen Yunsheng smiled gently, a smile that seemed to conceal endless meaning.
Before anyone could react, Shen Yunsheng smiled and instructed, "Three days from now, please be sure to lead the officials to the uninhabited area in the suburbs. At that time, a grand event that will amaze everyone awaits you."
The retired emperor gave Tantai Tianming a wink, reassuring him to make the arrangements without worry.
Before his granddaughter gave him the gift, 007 had told him that it was time for them to let those powerful families know how formidable they were.
Tantai Tianming nodded to his grandfather before addressing the crowd: “My dear ministers, since the Princess has said so, then in three days, you will all come with me to the deserted area in the suburbs to witness a miracle.”
Everyone speculated about the "mysterious gift" the eldest princess had mentioned, and various rumors spread throughout the court. However, Tantai Tianming knew what was going on; he knew his sister would not disappoint everyone.
During these three days, he was also secretly preparing his own plan, intending to show the courtiers the strength of the royal family.
Three days later, as the morning sun shone on the earth, Tantai Tianming led his ministers to a deserted area on the outskirts of the city. The area was serene, with rolling mountains in the distance and lush green grass nearby.
Everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of the eldest princess, their hearts filled with curiosity, eager to know what that mysterious gift was.
"Hey! We've been waiting for quite a while, but the Princess hasn't shown up, and neither have the Prince of Zhennan and his grandson. What are they up to?"
