"Dong —! Dong —! Dong —! "
The morning bell rang three times.
In the Political Announcement Hall, a majestic and sonorous voice resounded.
"Welcome, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! "
Li Shimin walked into the hall with a solemn expression, wearing a crown and a dragon robe.
"Everyone, rise!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Shimin slowly sat down on the dragon throne.
However, before he could sit down, an official from the Ministry of Works hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! I have a report to submit! "
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Submit the report."
"Your Majesty, there was a rumor in the city yesterday that more than a dozen carriages of malt had been delivered from Xiao Mountain. But until now, I haven't received any news about it. What's more, many people in the city were in a state of chaos because of it. Some people even went to the local government of Chang 'an City to buy land because of it. What's more, some people in the imperial court also joined in."
"I have a report here. It contains a list of the officials in the imperial court who bought the land, as well as the area of the land that they wanted to buy, as well as the amount of money …"
When Li Shimin heard this, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "What do you want to say? I already know about this matter."
The official from the Ministry of Works was taken aback. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully request that you issue a decree to thoroughly investigate White Deer College in Xiao Mountain and find out why they are disturbing the people's hearts at this time!"
"Also, investigate these buyers and find out if they are in cahoots with the Dean of White Deer College, Zhang Feng!"
"Although the matter of the phosphate fertilizer has caused a huge uproar, our Ministry of Works has never heard of such a matter. Furthermore, we don't know which ancient book had such a record."
Li Shimin glanced at the official indifferently. Then, he pointed at Zhangsun Wuji and said, "You can ask Minister Zhao about this matter directly. Tell me."
Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Li Shimin asked again, "How many people are here for this?"
"Your Majesty, this subject is here for this matter."
"This subject has something to report!"
"This old subject has something to report! This old subject wants to participate in that White Deer College's Zhang Feng! "
"This subject wishes to report to the Duke of E!"
"…"
Basically, as soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, countless officials stood out to accuse Yuchi Gong and Zhang Feng of misconduct.
Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Zhao Guogong, you say it!"
When Zhangsun Wuji heard this, he reported the white jade tablet. Then, he looked at them indifferently and said, "His Majesty has known about this since yesterday."
"As for the Duke of E's things, they are all displayed in His Majesty's Imperial Garden! As for the people who bought the land, last night, Old Man had already received the emperor's order and went to the yamen with Fang Gongzi. "
"What?"
The officials could not help but burst into an uproar.
Does the Emperor know about this?
Does that mean the Emperor knows about this?
Then, the matter of the phosphate fertilizer …
Is it true?
For a moment, all the officials in the imperial court began to make their own plans.
If that was the case, then the Emperor knew about the phosphate fertilizer. That was to say … the phosphate fertilizer was true?
'Is this thing really useful?'
In an instant, all the officials became excited.
Each of their families had at least a few dozen mu of land, or even a hundred mu of land. These were all bestowed by the Emperor, and the autumn planting this time was very important. Is that thing that was said to be able to double or even multiply the yield of every mu of land true?
Moreover, when they returned to the city yesterday, they had personally seen the wheat sprouts that fell on the ground.
Therefore, although they wanted to impeach these two people today, they actually wanted to confirm whether this matter was true and what the Emperor would say.
However, the calmness and indifference displayed by the Emperor at this moment made everyone unable to remain calm.
This seems …
Probably …
The Emperor knows about this matter!
At this moment, Li Shimin saw the fervent look in everyone's eyes and knew that the matter was about to be settled. He waved his hand and said, "Do you still remember what happened that day at the heaven worship ceremony?"
"The next day, I went to White Deer College. I only saw the one mu of land that Zhang Feng personally planted on the mountain from afar. Cheng Chumo and the others also personally participated in this planting. I can confirm that the thing that can make the wheat sprouts within ten days is this phosphate fertilizer. Therefore, I decided yesterday to have these wheat sprouts transported back in the name of the Ministry of Works so that I can personally watch these wheat sprouts grow every day."
"Last night, I drafted an imperial edict. Although I haven't announced it yet, I have already sent Minister Zhao to the government office … I now announce that from today onwards, any land within the Tang Dynasty, including the purchase and sale of land by the people, must be approved by the Ministry of Agriculture!"
Li Shimin didn't mention the phosphate fertilizer. He also wanted to use the method that Zhang Feng had suggested. He didn't need to deliberately publicize it, but instead, kept it a secret. He wanted to see if these people could really hold it in. It was up to them now.
As for the end, although Li Shimin had not thought of a good way for the time being, when he thought of what had happened yesterday, he had only deliberately scattered some things along the path of the cart, and then arranged for a few people to go for a walk, and it had caused more than thirty memorials from officials in the court today, what did this mean?
This meant that this matter had really caused a huge commotion in Chang 'an City!
He wanted to see if his vague words today could add fuel to the fire.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said, "Court is dismissed!"
"…"
