Chapter 76 Credit(1/2)

Master Ji San was surprised: "Hey, Xiaotang wants to go with his uncle too?"

"Yes.∏∈," Ji Xiaotang nodded with a smile. Regarding this matter, Ji Xiaotang had already agreed with Qin Zhen when he received the news that Mr. Ji San was going to Beijing.

This is the first time Mr. Ji San has come to Beijing, and it is also the first time to meet Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing. Although Ji Xiaotang has enough confidence in Mr. Ji San, he always feels that he will feel more at ease with him.

In addition, Ji Xiaotang knew very thoroughly about going out to sea and foreign food. She hoped to express her ideas. If they could be adopted by the court, it would be a great thing that would benefit the country and the people.

Master Ji San was very happy to know that Ji Xiaotang was going with him.

"Xiaotang is worried about me, right?" Master Ji San said with a smile.

Yesterday, Ji Xiaotang had told Master Ji San about her impression of Queen Mother Han and Emperor Longqing, as well as some things in the harem, in order to allow Master Ji San to be fully prepared.

"I'm not worried about my uncle. There is not a saying, "I'm a brother who fights tigers and fights with father and son."

"Yes, Xiaotang and I are invincible in the world," Master Ji San laughed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San bid farewell to the people in Xinhuatang and came to the palace.

When they arrived in front of the palace gate, the Zuo Changshi of Prince An was already waiting for them. The Zuo Changshi Tang Cailan told Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San that Qin Zhen had entered the palace, and Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing planned to meet Master Ji San in the imperial study.

Originally, when Master Ji San wanted to meet Emperor Longqing, he should have performed a ceremony in the Ministry of Rites first. However, the food brought back by Master Ji San was so important, so Emperor Longqing simply issued an order to exempt him from this procedure.

Master Ji Er was an official in the Ministry of Rites. He mentioned Master Ji San. I think Master Ji San's words and deeds would not be too big. Even if there were some shortcomings, Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han would not care about it in the event of major events.

Therefore, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San successfully entered the palace and came to the imperial study room under the leadership of a eunuch in the harem.

It was also the first time Ji Xiaotang came to the Imperial Study Room.

Although Master Ji San entered the palace for the first time, he did not have any nervousness. He had experienced so many storms outside, and Master Ji San was a little unruly. In his eyes, Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han were definitely not as tall and sacred as ordinary people.

In the imperial study room, Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing were sitting on the imperial couch, with a low table separated by a middle.

Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San entered the imperial study room and saluted Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han under the guidance of the eunuch. Emperor Longqing said softly, and Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San stood up and saluted Qin Zhen, who was sitting on the chair on the side.

Qin Zhen did not come together, but went to the palace in advance, just to make arrangements for all aspects.

When Ji Xiaotang saluted Qin Zhen, Qin Zhen stood up and returned Ji Xiaotang with half a gift.

This is because Ji Xiaotang is his fiancée.

Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San with a smile, with a very friendly face. Emperor Longqing felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Ji Xiaotang, but he quickly focused on Master Ji San.

"I heard from King An talk about you. Your experience is very legendary." Emperor Longqing said to Master Ji San.

Emperor Longqing's attitude surprised Ji Xiaotang slightly. The emperor was a little absent-minded in everything, but today he was so abnormal and expressed his full attention to Master Ji San.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes turned slightly and he glanced at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen nodded slightly, indicating that Ji Xiaotang should not be worried. Emperor Longqing was really interested in Master Ji San, and this was not a bad thing.

"I am just an ordinary man, but there is nothing legendary about it. I'm afraid that Prince An has made good words for me." Master Ji San replied.

"The prodigal son will not change his gold. This is enough to be a legend." Emperor Longqing smiled. It seems that Qin Zhen told him about Master Ji San's past.

When it comes to the prodigal son turning back, Master Ji San also laughed.

Emperor Longqing is also an interesting person. He is obviously very concerned about foreign grains and overseas affairs, but he did not mention these things at the beginning. Instead, he paid attention to Master Ji San.

Perhaps because Emperor Longqing's attitude was very kind, perhaps because of this sentence, it narrowed the distance between the king and the ministers, and also weakened the solemnity that should be in such occasions.

The following conversation was very smooth.

Emperor Longqing asked about the foreign grain.

Just as Master Ji San was about to answer, he saw an eunuch in charge outside and hurriedly walked in, saying that King Su and Weiwu Hou Zi Qi Younian were asking for a meeting outside the palace gate.

Emperor Longqing was slightly stunned.

"Let them come to the imperial study room." Empress Dowager Han said at this time.

The eunuch in charge immediately took the order out. He didn't ask at all, nor did he wait for Emperor Longqing to give any instructions on this matter.

Ji Xiaotang's heart moved slightly.

As she expected, Qi Younian was injured in love and became enemies with Qin Zhen. King Su Qinlin would never miss such an opportunity. In these days, King Su Qinlin went to Jingci Temple several times to pay tribute to the eldest princess Qin Min, and took the opportunity to make friends with Qi Younian.

It is obviously not a coincidence that Qi Younian and Qin Lin came together at this time. The two of them came together, but does this mean that they finally got together?

Qin Lin's movements were really fast and very effective.

In addition, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when contacting Empress Dowager Han's performance.

Qin Lin and Qi Younian came to the palace at this time, but I am afraid they have something to do with Empress Dowager Han.

Shortly after the eunuch in charge retired, he led Qin Lin and Qi Younian to the imperial study room.

Qin Lin and Qi Younian first met Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing, and then greeted Qin Zhen.

Qi Younian was cold to Qin Zhen, and even that kind of courtesy was a little careless. Qin Zhen smiled and didn't care about Qi Younian's behavior.

After that, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San were the ones.

Qi Younian's attitude towards Ji Xiaotang was impeccable, but his eyes still revealed the secret in his heart.

Qin Lin smiled.

Qin Zhen smiled.

Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes.

Queen Mother Han smiled.

Emperor Longqing sighed softly and looked away.

Master Ji San was still the same as he was just now, and seemed to notice nothing.

"...I heard that Lord Ji returned from overseas and brought back a good breed. I heard Ayou mention this matter. Ayou has some unique insights. It has great interests for the country and the people..., like being hungry today. I am also very concerned about this matter." Qin Lin explained the reason for entering the palace at this time, which was not a coincidence. He and Qi Younian came here deliberately at this time.

"...In the past, the county lord and Lord Ji had talked to me about going out to sea and foreign food..." Qi Younian also bowed and said.

Ji Xiaotang did not hide the matter of foreign grain from Qi Younian. On the contrary, they have discussed it many times.

It is the foreign goods shop that is very popular in the capital, and there are also Qi Younian's shares in it.

Emperor Longqing said, his eyes slid from Qi Younian's face to Ji Xiaotang's face. Then he moved away.

Queen Mother Han smiled.

"It is rare that you are so worried about the country and the people. If you want to share the worries of the Lord, then stay and listen together and help us to learn more. "≤,"

Empress Dowager Han gave Qin Lin a seat, and Emperor Longqing was particularly kind, asking Ji Xiaotang, Master Ji San and Qi Younian to sit down and talk.

Master Ji San said that he had found three kinds of foreign grains, the first two, and Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han had seen them, so Master Ji San presented the selected potatoes.

"...You can sow seeds in this season and you can get harvests when winter begins?" Emperor Longqing asked Master Ji San in surprise.

Master Ji San answered yes.

It is not possible to start winter in the north, but the climate in the south is warm, so there will be harvests when sowing seeds.

"Ji San, how many potatoes have you brought back?" Emperor Longqing has changed his name to Master Ji San as Ji San. I wonder where Master Ji San moved him, but he was very close to Master Ji San.

Master Ji San said a number and said that according to calculations, the area where these potato species can be grown.

Master Ji San transported back two ships of potatoes. For these potatoes, Master Ji San also experienced many twists and turns at sea.

Not only Emperor Longqing was moved, but the other people also showed a look of surprise on their faces.

They all understand the meaning of that number.

Although planting potatoes in these two ships cannot completely solve the problems faced by Daqin, it can greatly alleviate the current food shortage.

Just harvest this batch of potatoes.

"... I have already hired a large amount of money for a foreigner who is good at growing potatoes and come with him. There should be no problem with growing potatoes." Master Ji San immediately reminded him that growing potatoes is not picky, but if it is sandy land, the yield will be higher.

"Which prefectures and counties in the south are the most suitable land?" Emperor Longqing asked immediately.

Qin Zhen and Qin Lin can answer some of this question, but it is obviously inaccurate and not comprehensive.

Emperor Longqing immediately issued an order to summon some officials to the palace and quickly selected a list of prefectures and counties for growing potatoes.

After the list is decided, there are certainly officials below to take charge.

"If this food is indeed as Lord Ji said, then Lord Ji has made great contributions to the country and the people." Empress Dowager Han said slowly.

Regarding the issue of foreign grain, because Emperor Longqing was very interested, most of the words were said by Emperor Longqing, but Empress Dowager Han’s sense of existence was not tolerated and ignored.

"I dare not." Master Ji San said hurriedly, "If things are successful, I will rely on the blessings of Your Majesty and the great blessings of the Queen Mother. If Prince An is working hard on this matter, I am just trying my best to overcome all my efforts."

Empress Dowager Han smiled and nodded, as if she was very satisfied with Master Ji San's attitude.

With good potato seeds, it can not only alleviate the current hunger of the world, but also have great significance for the future of the Qin Dynasty.

This is really a great joy.

Not to mention others, even Emperor Longqing's pale face seemed to have a little bloody color.

"With these three kinds of foreign grains, the national treasury will be full in the future, and the people will be less hungry. My Qin Dynasty is just around the corner." Emperor Longqing said, as he seemed a little excited and suddenly coughed.

This is the first time Ji Xiaotang has seen someone coughing so violently.

It seemed that this was not the first time Emperor Longqing had coughed like this. A eunuch who served came over next to him, patted his back, and fed the veils, and fed the pickles.
