Chapter 488: The first game, crushing


    King Jin suspected that he had heard it wrong.


    What about the promised literary test? Shouldn’t we take the Four Books and Five Classics and the Strategy and Speech Sutra? How did it become farming?


    Being an emperor is not going to farm!


    Not to mention King Jin, even his five younger brothers and many court ministers were shocked.


    King Ming looked at Lu Zhaoyan and asked in a low voice: "What''s the situation?"


    Lu Zhaoyan whispered: "How can I know? When has anyone guessed the thoughts of my father?"


    It’s not that he didn’t secretly ask someone to inquire about the test questions, but it’s a pity that the three dukes and nine ministers who came out of the imperial study were too nervous and none of them leaked the secrets.


    But he was not as surprised as King Jin.


    If you play according to common sense, it means you are not the father.


    King Ming asked worriedly, "Second brother, is your son okay? I see that he looks like a slutty, can he farm?"


    Lu Zhaoyan stared at death: "Who are you talking about?"


    King Ming touched his nose in disappointment, took two steps to the other side, and ran into the fifth prince, King Fu.


    King Fu said, "Sixth brother, be careful."


    The fifth prince, King Fu, is the son of Concubine Jiang Hui. Since Concubine Jiang Hui and the Crown Prince''s Mansion have a common thorn in the eyes, the relationship between King Fu and the Crown Prince''s Mansion has improved.


    King Ming''s eyes rolled: "Fifth brother, let''s make a bet."


    King Fu said seriously: "I haven''t paid off the gambling debt you owed me last time, and I haven''t told my father."


    King Ming returned to Lu Zhaoyan silently.


    Lu Zhaoyan glared at him.


    Ming Wang: "I am a novice."


    After returning to his post, he looked at King Jin, King Rui and King Fu opposite him: "Hey, second brother, their faces are not very good-looking. It seems that they did not expect their father to take farming as a test."


    Mr. Ziwu and Gongsun Yanming were also here today, standing beside several princes, ranking first among all civil and military officials.


    The two looked at each other, and their eyes met for a moment. Mr. Ziwu snorted coldly, and Gongsun Yanming looked away.


    Mr. Ziwu has lived in seclusion for many years and is good at farming. He knows that this idea was proposed by him without guessing.


    But the specific test questions were decided by Emperor Liang.


    So, how will Your Majesty ask questions?


    Eunuch Yu opened a scroll full of test questions and said, "What is the grain in the first question?"


    Lu Qi and Lu Yuan stood in the center of the Golden Palace. As soon as Eunuch Yu finished speaking, he blurted out immediately, saying: "Rice, wheat, millet, beans, and millet."


    King Jin''s expression relaxed.


    Eunuch Yu looked at Lu Yuan.


    Lu Yuan said, "Oh, my answer is the same as him."


    "Swish~"


    Among the officials, some people couldn''t help but make a mockery voice.


    Eunuch Yu looked at the scroll and said, "It''s indeed rice, wheat, millet, beans and millet."


    At this time, an official spoke: "The prince answered first. Is Your Highness Changsun sure it wasn''t a fraud?"


    King Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Old man, the Hu family''s tyrant."


    King Fu said: "Yes."


    Mingwang: I didn’t tell you, we are not familiar with each other!


    Eunuch Yu then read out: "Question 2, when will the grains be sown?"


    Lu Qi said calmly: "Mill is planted in spring, wheat is planted in spring and autumn, rice is planted in spring and summer, and millet and beans are planted in summer."


    King Jin''s heart was completely restored to his stomach.


    I thought my son was just full of knowledge and never thought that his knowledge was so profound that he even knew the methods of farming.


    King Ming frowned: "The big thing is not good. This kid really understands it. Second brother, how could he understand these things?"


    Of course, Lu Zhaoyan understood why. In order to invite Mr. Ziwu to go down the mountain some day ago, he specially took the agricultural books for Lu Qi to read at night.


    I guess these were learned that night.


    He really shot himself in the foot.


    Eunuch Yu looked at Lu Yuan again.


    Lu Yuanfeng replied lightly: "Oh, it''s still the same as him."


    An uproar broke out in the court.


    Once by chance, and twice, he actually "plagiarized" in such a grand manner, and even repeated the prince''s answer, just one sentence "just like him".


    This is even more shameful than just filling in the numbers!


    Everyone looked at Emperor Liang on the dragon throne.


    The Emperor Liang frowned slightly, and the emperor''s power made everyone breathless.


    King Jin spoke: "Qi''er, you are your younger brother. You should know how to be humble and don''t steal your elder brother''s chance next time."


    I wouldn’t rob the truth. Huang Changsun is a fool. I asked him to answer first. Wouldn’t he be exposed immediately?


    Lu Qi said: "Yes, my son knows."


    He turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Brother, you can answer the next question first."


    King Ming was so nervous that he grabbed King Fu''s arm: "Don''t agree, don''t agree, don''t agree... to cheat..."


    King Fu: "Sixth brother."


    King Ming: "Let him answer first, let him answer first!"


    King Fu sighed.


    Lu Yuan curled his lips and smiled: "Okay."


    King Ming''s face was ashamed: "It''s over, I can''t hide it."


    Eunuch Yu said to Xiao Dezi outside the Golden Palace, "Come on."


    Xiao Dezi and another **** carried a table of fresh or wilted crops into the Golden Palace and placed them in front of the two emperors.


    All officials, look at me and I look at you, but I don’t understand what this means.


    Yu Eunuch said: "The third question is to identify crops."


    Lu Qi''s eyes remained unchanged and he looked at Lu Yuan.


    King Qi smiled and said, "Big nephew, you have agreed to give you the first question. You may be waiting for Qier to give you the answer again, right?"


    Lu Yuan took a few steps forward casually, picked up the crops on the table one by one, and found them as a treasure: "Pumpkin, winter melon, green onions, shallots, leeks, garlic sprouts, and coriander."


    As he said that, he took out a very inconspicuous ear from under the garlic seedlings, "Wheat ears."


    Emperor Liang''s frown suddenly stretched a little.


    This piece of wheat ear seemed to be mixed in unintentionally, but in fact he deliberately let someone put it in.


    It seems to have nothing to do with those crops, but only those who truly cherish food will notice this precious ear of wheat.


    This time, it was Yu''s turn to ask Lu Qi.


    Lu Qi said: "Since my elder brother has answered it, I won''t answer it. This question is considered to be the elder brother win."


    Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I won by my ability, can you please give me?"


    All the officials shook their heads, arrogant, too arrogant!


    “It’s not over yet.”


    Lu Yuan bent over and opened the drawer of the table.


    Everyone was shocked.


    There is something else on the table?


    “Salt, fennel.”


    Lu Qi said.


    Eunuch Yu said: "What are the uses of salt and fennel?"


    Lu Qi replied: "For cooking."


    Eunuch Yu looked at Lu Yuan.


    When everyone was waiting for Lu Yuan to say the sentence "Like him" again, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke with a sensation: "Salt can replenish physical strength, disinfect wounds, or pickle them into salt to keep the food from rotting. Fennel can be put into the grain to avoid insects and ants. It would be better if there is stone chalk, it can prevent moisture, and it is very necessary in the south."


    Everyone was shocked and looked at the Grand Marshal.


    The Grand Secretary nodded in praise: "What His Highness Changsun said is true."


    Lu Zhaoyan sighed and said sadly: "I remember one year when the flood broke out in the south, my father sent someone to provide disaster relief. I never thought that all the grains in the granary would grow worms and moldy."


    Everyone couldn''t help but remained silent.


    The flood that year caused huge losses in the southwest, and many people were displaced and they also suffered from illness due to eating moldy food, which made the disaster worse.


    If the officials who were in the disaster relief at that time could understand this, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.


    How many lives are there...


    Although the court officials stood in different camps, not everyone was selfish.


    They also hope that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and hope that the Liang Kingdom will be clear and peaceful, so that their career path can go longer. King Jin said: "Qi''er, you don''t have to be too humble."


    King Ming sarcastically said, "Winning means being right, losing means being giving up. If you are shameless, I think your Jin Palace is better."


    King Fu again: "Yeah."


    Mingwang: I don’t need your approval!


    Emperor Liang waved his hand and the competition continued.


    Eunuch Yu looked at the test questions in the promulgation and said to everyone: "Question 5."


    He winked at Xiao Dezi.


    Xiao Dezi hurriedly left the Golden Palace again.


    This time, he neither carried the table nor carried the basket, but pushed a cart of sacks into it.


    Everyone looked at the tightly tied sack in confusion, and guessed what crop was inside.


    Yu Eunuch said: "Open it."


    There are five sacks in total.


    Xiao Dezi opened the first one.


    Lu Qi hurriedly said, "White face."


    Eunuch Yu: "What is the price of white flour?"


    Lu Qi: "Six min each pound."


    Xiao Dezi went to open the second one again.


    Lu Qi was quick-witted and his hands were quick: "Corn flour, five cents per pound."


    “Rice, nine pounds per pound.”


    “Rice…”


    “Wheat…”


    Lu Qi recognized it one by one and said the price. Every time he said one, the Grand Minister nodded.


    It can be seen that he is all right.


    This is too rare for a royal grandson.


    You should know that many officials in the court do not know the price of these white flours in the millet.


    King Ming was very anxious: "Second brother, why didn''t your son speak? Isn''t he very powerful? He, he, he, don''t say that he was confused!"


    King Fu said, "Sixth brother, don''t be so nervous."


    Ming Wang said: "How can I not be nervous? I made a bet with someone. If he loses, I will lose a lot!"


    King Fu was stunned: "Who did you make a bet with?"


    And your mother.


    Forget it, this doesn’t matter. What’s important is that he bets 10,000 taels!


    Although Concubine Jiang Hui didn''t like Concubine Hu, she was not an activist. In her opinion, Wenbi and Lu Qi had a greater chance of winning.


    This does not mean that she supports Lu Qi.


    She will still be embarrassed if she should make things difficult for Concubine Hu and the King of Jin’s Mansion.


    She just won’t be able to get along with the money.


    "I would rather he couldn''t answer."


    Lu Zhaoyan whispered.


    "Second brother, what are you talking about?"


    King Ming was shocked by the sadness that flashed through his second brother''s eyes.


    His second brother has always been indifferent and rarely bothers him about everything.


    But just now, my second brother seemed to be in great sorrow.


    He didn''t dare to speak for a moment.


    Nine bags of food were all said by Lu Qi.


    The last bag of Lu Qi thought about it.


    It was his moment of being stunned that Lu Yuan spoke: "Rice seeds."


    Eunuch Yu asked, "How much is this bag of rice seeds worth?"


    Lu Qi stared at the bag of rice seeds. Roughly estimated that if there were 100 kilograms, rice seeds would be much more expensive than rice.


    However, he did not pay attention to the price of rice seeds.


    This is the only question that I can’t decide today.


    I can only guess.


    He glanced at Lu Yuan.


    Seeing that Lu Yuan was silent and just twisting the rice seeds with his fingers, Lu Yuan had lost so many questions, and he didn''t answer before him, which only means that he didn''t know the price of the rice seeds.


    Next, it depends on luck.


    He said seriously: "One tael of silver."


    Everyone looked at the Grand Minister.


    The Grand Priest nodded: "The rice seeds in the market are indeed at the same price."


    King Jin''s joy was beyond words.


    All questions have been answered.


    There is no doubt that his son won.


    Although Lu Yuan''s idiot, for some reason, let him get two cheap things, as long as he is not blind, he can see that his son has left him several streets.


    Unexpectedly, Eunuch Yu was not in a hurry to announce the result, but looked at Lu Yuan: "Your Highness Changsun, what about your answer?"


    Lu Yuan put the seeds in his hand back into the sack, clapped his hands, and said, "It''s worthless!"


    Everyone was stunned.


    King Jin frowned.


    Lu Qi was also quite puzzled: "What did you say?"


    Eunuch Yu asked, "Your Highness Changsun, are you sure... worthless?"


    “Yeah, sure.”


    After raising his eyebrows and said, Lu Yuan said to Eunuch Yu, "How can ripe seeds be valuable? If anyone sells them to seeds like me, I will not only not pay for them, but I will also have to beat him up!"


    The Grand Secretary walked to the cart in a busy farming manner, reached out to grab a handful of seeds, twisted them carefully, and said excitedly: "It''s really ripe! It''s cooked seeds!"


    Lu Qi''s face changed.


    All the officials who just supported Lu Qi were stunned at this moment.


    No wonder His Highness Changsun didn''t say a word. He was identifying the pros and cons of seeds.


    At this moment, everyone remembered something at the same time.


    Even after the disaster, many farmlands were flooded and the seeds were gone. Emperor Liang, who was still the King of Qin at that time, spared no expense to buy rice seeds from neighboring countries for the sake of the livelihood of the people.


    As a result, a dish was placed by a black-hearted vendor and bought the cooked seeds.


    The people were not reaped, and the famine came, and the people were living in poverty. The southwest almost couldn''t overcome that disaster.


    Later, it took the Southwest five years to recover from the rest.


    Everyone looked at Lu Yuan and Lu Qi again.


    Many people''s eyes have changed.


    Lu Qi is indeed knowledgeable, but at this moment all this looks more like a paper talk.


    Although Lu Yuan answered few times, every sentence was at the critical point.


    More importantly, he kept touching the crops stained with his hands throughout the process, without any disgust, and his movements were so skillful that he seemed to have taken them countless times.


    This is the person who truly understands farming.


    He knew the sufferings of the people, not just talked about it on paper, but put it into practice.


    King Ming said in a daze: "No, second brother, why do your son know so much? He hasn''t planted the land, right? He hasn''t been cheated by people, right?"


    King Ming couldn''t figure it out. Does Xiaobai''s sister-in-law look like she has no money, and would she let her son go to farm?


    Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, in short, it’s enough to win.


    His ten thousand taels are saved!


    Although the prince’s camp was not strong, his pride was beyond words at this time.


    They are also desperate.


    Fortunately, His Highness Changsun did not disappoint!


    Lu Zhaoyan didn''t say anything, but just looked at his son with a complicated expression.


    Everyone was celebrating his dazzlingness, and he was feeling sorry for his past.


    Eunuch Yu closed the scroll and turned around and bowed to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, do you still need to continue the farming test?"


    Emperor Liang stood up and said with a mighty voice without anger: "No need, the first try, farming, Lu Linyuan won!"
