The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

"What you have mentioned, I am not without consideration. But before that, I have two edicts to be promulgated......

."

"First, it is Qingxiang Ruizhao. "

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, everyone's attention was attracted by the topic he suddenly shifted, whether it was the civil and military officials of the imperial court or the people watching around, they didn't expect Li Er to divert the topic at this time, and the brain circuit seemed to be very different from the focus of everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, the chamberlain began to read the edict, and as the content unfolded, an even more shocking news was gradually revealed......

"Recently, I have found two supernatural crops in the territory of Datang, the yield of potatoes per mu can reach 3,000 catties, and the yield of sweet potatoes is even more amazing, with a yield of 5,000 catties per mu. I got this treasure, I dare not enjoy it exclusively, I decided to plant it widely and promote, and I hope that the people of the world will share this blessing, get rid of hunger and hardship, and the country and the people will be safe. "

As the chamberlain solemnly read the edict in the center of Suzaku Square, the atmosphere instantly became solemn and tense.

This was originally an ordinary day, and the people were still discussing in the streets and alleys whether Li Er's handling of a murder case was proper in the near future, but when those earth-shattering keywords flowed clearly from the mouth of the inner servant, the crowd seemed to have been immobilized, and the whole world seemed to stand still at this moment.

"Three thousand catties per mu?".

"5,000 catties per mu?!".

This news shook everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt from the sky.

The people's eyes widened, wondering if they had heard it wrong, or if the emperor had suddenly fallen ill and couldn't count. You must know that in their cognition, the average 10 mu of land per mu means that the harvest of one family is enough to feed 10 families! Doesn't this mean that for most of the families in the country who depend on farming for their livelihood, their income will increase tenfold in an instant?

"Ten times?".

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of suspicion and disbelief.

It sounds like a joke, more like a far-fetched fantasy.

When they cast their eyes on the glittering golden scroll in the hands of the chamberlain, the majesty and authority of the best silk silk in the world for the holy decree made it impossible for them to question its authenticity.

In an instant, the controversy over Li Er's verdict had long since disappeared, and was replaced by the people's minds full of repeated speculation and exclamation over "3,000 catties" and "5,000 catties."

Some people in the crowd couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and directly broke through the barriers of the officials gathered around, knelt down in front of Li Er, wept bitterly, and asked where such a miracle came from, and how could they let their eight people also enjoy this blessing.

Facing this scene, Li Er's face was indifferent, but his eyes flashed with a determined light.

"The first batch has already been distributed, and by this time next year, every household will have it. "

His words fell, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, soothing the anxiety and uneasiness in people's hearts.

At this moment, all the people seemed to feel a warm current in their hearts at the same time, accompanied by the choking sound of tears sliding down their faces, followed by a wave of shouts like a tsunami: "Your Majesty, long live!", "Your Majesty, long live!", "Your Majesty......", this voice converged into a powerful force, resounding in the sky ......

Li Er softly comforted the people and ordered the attendants to take them away.

Then he looked at the ministers with a smile and asked, "The first thing has been done, what do you have to say?"

Zheng Xuannian and other family officials stood on the spot, silent.

They imagined Li Er's various reactions, whether it was flashing words, or being angry, or even using force to suppress them, but they never expected that Li Er would suddenly announce the auspicious thing. And this auspicious rui is actually 5,000 catties per mu, far beyond their imagination.

If this is true, it will be truly auspicious.

Cold sweat broke out on Zheng Xuannian's forehead.

Now the people's complaints about Li Er have long disappeared, if the annual family income can be increased tenfold, even if the family is like them, I am afraid they will have to worship Li Er and praise him as the saint of the ages.

The problem, however, is that they relied on public opinion to attack this time. What should they do about this situation?

Zheng Xuannian's heart was flustered.

Not only Zheng Xuannian, an important minister of the DPRK, was panicked at the moment, but also many officials around him also showed shocked expressions, as if they were being drunk in the face, and a burst of panic spread among them.

This sudden move, a stroke from His Majesty's gods, instantly captured the hearts of the people under his command, and caught these conspirators who had been living in the temple all year round off guard.

Then again, the so-called auspicious rui with a yield of several thousand catties per mu, even if they are prepared, I am afraid that they will not be able to compete with His Majesty for the people's wishes. The effect of this object is too shocking, beyond the boundaries of everyone's perception of common sense.

Zheng Xuannian, a member who has been through the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, only began to gradually return to his sanity after a short period of delay.

I couldn't help but ask myself: "How can there be a crop in the world that yields several thousand catties per mu? Isn't this a fantasy?"

His reason also told him that the old and spicy monarch who had fought on the battlefield for many years and knew how to govern the country would definitely not use fake auspiciousness to tease the people. Once the truth is revealed, the vain hopes are dashed, and the people's will will inevitably be devoured, and this is a truth that anyone with a modicum of political wisdom understands. And Li Er, as the king of a country, his wisdom and stability are far from comparable, how could he do such a stupid thing?

This means that there really is such a miraculous crop, and the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties?

Thinking of this, Zheng Xuannian's back couldn't help but feel a chill, and a strong shock surged in his heart.

"Could it be that God really favored the Tang Dynasty and gave such a strange thing?" This thought made him feel fear and awe.

If all this is true, then wouldn't his previous confrontation with Li Er be as stupid as cerebral palsy?

His heart was beating like a drum, and Zheng Xuannian was almost like those excited people, he couldn't help but fall to his knees and shout "Long live" three times to the one on the throne.

Not ...... though

Zheng Xuannian knew that he had the power of the Xingyang Zheng clan behind him, and he understood that he couldn't make a choice easily. The only thing he could do was to go home immediately after today and persuade the old lady of the family not to be an enemy of Li Er.

As the highest-ranking official among the ministers, Zheng Xuannian's status is comparable to that of Jiuqing of Dali Temple. However, other ministers are not as high in rank as him and less intellectually than him, so not many people can understand the dire consequences behind this decision.

At this time, a voice broke the silence: "Your Majesty, is this news true?".

"How can there be crops in the world that yield thousands of catties per acre?" questioned another minister.

"Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by the villain. I ask Your Majesty to immediately conduct a thorough investigation of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong and others!".

"Your Majesty, what you have said cannot be taken back casually! If you use lies to deceive the people today, how will you explain to them in the future?" and the other ministers also commented, they did not believe that this news was true, and the first thing that came to mind was that Li Er had made up this auspicious story in order to break the current deadlock.

This group of family officials thought that Li Er would not dare to confront them, so they would use lies to fool the people.

At this time, the people also began to be confused.

Does auspicious rui, with a yield of several thousand catties per mu, really exist in this world? This is not a simple compliment and kind words, but a matter of everyone's livelihood!

Suspicion spread through the crowd.
