Chapter 152 Do you want to compete for that position?
In the previous life, this item was also introduced to the Great Qi Dynasty.
This ordinary thing not only has a very delicious taste and a strong sense of fullness, but also has an extremely tenacious survival ability. It can survive no matter how barren the land is, and the yield per mu can reach up to 3,000 kilograms.
Chu Yian accidentally obtained this item and presented it to the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince sent people to plant it for experiment and verified the myth of a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu.
He immediately presented this item to the emperor, thus making another great contribution, which added another point to his reputation in the hearts of both court officials and Emperor Defeng, and his position became more stable and unshakable.
In his previous life, Lu Zhiran had only heard of this thing, but had never seen it, let alone eaten it.
This time when she organized a merchant ship to go out to sea, she specifically instructed her subordinates to keep an eye out for this thing and bring it back if they found it.
Unexpectedly, this item had already flowed into Da Qi at this time, but had not yet been discovered.
When Lu Zhiran talked about the various advantages of this thing, disbelief flashed in Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Yanci's eyes.
"really?"
Lu Zhiran nodded firmly, "Absolutely true."
She looked at Xiao Yanci, "If Your Highness trusts me, you can present this plant to the Emperor. If you can promote its cultivation in the Great Qi Dynasty, the people's food and clothing will be more secure. If Your Highness has any doubts, you can send someone to test-grow it first..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yanci interrupted her, "No need to try planting, I trust you."
Xiao Baozhu said without hesitation: "I believe you too!"
The trust in their eyes was genuine, and Lu Zhiran's heart was moved.
"Why don't you ask how I learned this? What if what I said is false? If I rashly present it to the emperor, not only will I not gain any credit, I will also be punished by the emperor."
Xiao Yanci looked at her deeply, "You have never been wrong in what you say. You are the greatest guarantee."
Xiao Baozhu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, your predictions are always accurate. We just listen to you."
A sour and bitter feeling surged in Lu Zhiran's heart, a little heavy, but more of it was an indescribable emotion.
It turns out that people can have this kind of unconditional trust with each other.
It was just that she was not lucky enough in her previous life and didn't meet them.
Lu Zhiran smiled at them and said, "Thank you for your trust. I will not let you down. Your Highness, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. You must report this to the Emperor as soon as possible."
If you are a step late and someone else gets the upper hand, it will be too late to regret.
Xiao Yanci said, "I already accepted your favor regarding the gold mine last time. I will not take the credit away from you this time. You may come with me into the palace."
If the emperor gives her a reward, she will be the first to do so.
If the emperor blames him, he can take the responsibility.
Lu Zhiran looked at him and for the first time spoke very bluntly.
"Your Highness, do you want to compete for that position?"
Xiao Yanci's eyes darkened suddenly, and Xiao Baozhu was also stunned. She subconsciously looked around and found that the servants were far away, so she felt relieved.
Xiao Yanci no longer concealed his ambition, "I want it! And, I will definitely get it."
"Since that's the case, Your Highness has no reason to refuse. I am Your Highness's advisor, and it is my duty to offer you advice and suggestions. These achievements will serve as the foundation for your advancement. I only ask that when Your Highness ascends to the throne one day, you will not forget my contributions."
Lu Zhiran's words were powerful, and Xiao Yanci looked at her deeply.
"I will never forget the County Lady's contribution. One day, I will repay her a thousandfold."
If she is willing, he will bring all this beautiful country to her.
Xiao Yanci did not hesitate any longer and rushed into the palace.
Xiao Baozhu didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Lu Zhiran laughed, "Did it scare you?"
Xiao Baozhu scratched her head slowly, "Not really, I was just surprised."
Everyone keeps it secret in private, and even if they want to say it, they mention it in a subtle way. Who would say it openly?
Especially since these words were said by Sister Ran to her seventh brother, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.
However, she grew up in the royal family after all, and had seen all kinds of storms, so she quickly adjusted herself.
If everything was still vague and unclear before, now that Lu Zhiran has broken through this layer of window paper, everything has become clear.
Since the Seventh Prince is interested in that position, I will naturally support him with all my strength. No matter what, I cannot let the Sixth Prince get it.
Xiao Yanci ordered his men to carry a basket of potatoes into the palace. Emperor Defeng was a little confused by the scene.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Yanci smiled broadly, "Father, I have brought you a great gift."
Emperor Defeng looked at the yellowish thing covered with mud, his eyes filled with question marks.
"What are you keeping secret?"
Xiao Yanci said with a serious expression, describing the many benefits of potatoes. Upon hearing this, Emperor Defeng was so excited that he stood up.
"Really? If you dare to speak nonsense, I will not forgive you."
"Father, if you don't believe me, please send someone to test-plant this thing and you'll know. If I've lied in any way, you can punish me severely. I won't say anything."
Emperor Defeng thought that he had indeed been very reliable recently, and most of his doubts were dispelled.
"You said that yourself."
"That's what I said, but if it's as I said, how will you reward me?"
Emperor Defeng snorted and laughed, "You're asking for a reward before we even start writing anything. You're really not polite. Don't worry, you'll definitely get some benefits when the time comes."
Xiao Yanci was very satisfied and was about to leave when a palace servant came in and announced, "The Sixth Prince wishes to see you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanci stopped moving and sat down very confidently.
Emperor Defeng glanced at him but did not ask him to leave.
Xiao Yanqing originally had a smile on his face, but the moment he saw Xiao Yanci, his smile froze slightly.
"Xiao Qi is here too."
"Yes, I came to pay my respects to the Emperor."
You've said hello, but why aren't you leaving yet?
Xiao Yanqing looked at him intently for two seconds, but Xiao Yanci seemed unaware and continued to sit still, and Emperor Defeng had no intention of sending him away.
Xiao Yanqing took a deep breath and ignored him.
Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of something being carried out by a palace servant, and his gaze stopped instantly.
He almost lost his composure as he stepped forward and asked loudly, "What, what is this?"
Emperor Defeng frowned in displeasure, "Why are you so startled?"
Xiao Yanqing calmed himself down a bit, "I just felt that this thing looked familiar, so I lost my composure for a moment."
Xiao Yanci's eyes moved slightly, and a guess arose in his mind.
He said slowly, "This is a good thing I presented to my father. It's called Yangya. How come, Sixth Prince, have you seen this before?"
Xiao Yanqing suddenly looked at Xiao Yanci, and a flame instantly ignited in his eyes.
"What did you say?"
"Sixth Brother, your hearing seems to be a bit off. This is a potato. Not only is it delicious, but it also has a very high yield, making it a great alternative to grain. I stumbled upon it and immediately presented it to Father, hoping it can help the people of the Great Qi Dynasty find food and clothing."
