Chapter 170 The bandits are coming

Hu Guilin also raised his thumbs and said:

"Your Excellency's trick is really brilliant. It not only makes a lot of money, but it is not considered a lie. Anyway, Your Excellency has no intention of making anyone the crown prince."

Since the old emperor wanted to raise poisonous insects and refused to appoint a crown prince, no matter which prince it was, he would not succeed, so she was not lying.

The culture of Chinese characters is extensive and profound, it will amaze you!

"Well, well done. Take these boxes of ice cream." Seeing Liu Erdan and Hu Guilin sweating profusely, Gu Xi took out a few boxes of Cornetto from the space.

The two of them happily went out with their ice cream.

Gu Xi put these dozens of boxes into the space.

Then he said to Chu Zhao:

"Now that my father has recovered from his illness, I have no more worries. I want to distribute the rice seeds we have stored as soon as possible. Anning Kingdom only grows one crop of rice a year, and the summer rice has just been harvested. However, the climate south of the capital will not cool down until the end of October or even November. If we grow one crop of autumn rice now, we will have enough time to harvest it."

Chu Zhao was surprised:

“Can rice be grown twice a year?”

Gu Xi nodded his brow and said:

"What's so surprising about this? Further south, Hainan can still grow crops for three seasons. However, Hainan in Anning Country is still the end of the world for this era."

Chu Zhao held Gu Xi in his arms.

"Axi, it's great to have you."

Every winter and early spring in Anning State, some people would starve to death or freeze to death.

This year's severe drought has already resulted in poor harvests, making life even more difficult for the people.

If that hybrid rice could really produce 2,000 kilograms per mu, people would definitely not starve to death this winter.

You have to know that in their era, the yield of one acre of rice was only three or four hundred kilograms.

The next morning, Gu Xi went to the palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Jichang. In order to distribute all the grain to the people as soon as possible, he certainly needed the help of the government.

Royal study room.

Gu Xi said seriously:

"Your Majesty, the gods have sympathized with the suffering of the people of Anning and have sent down grain seeds, saying that the yield per mu can reach 2,000 kilograms. They also asked me to distribute the grain seeds to the southern counties as soon as possible."

No matter what happens, just blame it on the gods.

Emperor Jichang was surprised: "Oh? The gods are so kind to the people of Anning?"

He was suspicious at first and worried that the imperial teacher had ulterior motives.

Gu Xi nodded solemnly:

"So I have come here today to ask for your permission. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow me to leave the capital to distribute grain?"

After careful consideration, Emperor Jichang decided to distribute grain seeds to farmers, so it seemed that - it was not a big deal?

"This is a great thing. I approve it! I will give you an imperial decree. You will follow the order to arrange for officials from all regions to work together to distribute grain seeds."

If the yield per mu can really reach 2,000 kilograms, the national treasury will be full this winter.

But then a trace of calculation flashed across Emperor Jichang's eyes, and he said:

"Since the Imperial Master is leaving the capital, how will the Yulin Army be arranged?"

Gu Xi had already guessed the little thoughts in Emperor Jichang's mind and felt very ashamed.

If she wanted to rebel, would she still need the Yulin Army?

The dog emperor can be killed in minutes.

"Your Majesty, I was just about to report this to you. I need some people to help carry the grain. Why don't you let me take the original 800 cavalry battalion with you? Your Majesty will choose other capable people to take charge of the rest of the Yulin Army."

She really doesn't care about this group of Yulin troops whose fighting power is so weak.

The reason for taking over at that time was just to save those 20,000 lives. After all, most of the soldiers joined the rebellion not out of their own will, but simply because they had to obey the orders of their superiors.

Emperor Jichang's eyes lit up and he was immediately overjoyed.

The fact that the Imperial Master was so ready to give up his power showed that he had no intention of rebelling. As for the disrespect shown to him before, it might be because, as a messenger of God, he was arrogant because of his talent.

After letting go of his grudges, Emperor Jichang began to like Gu Xi in many ways.

"Okay, Imperial Master, go ahead and distribute the grain seeds. I will also grant you a special sword. If any government official dares to seize the grain seeds or refuses to cooperate, Imperial Master can execute them first and report later!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The farming work cannot be delayed. I will set off immediately after I pray to the gods tomorrow regarding the appointment of a crown prince!"

Then the emperor and his ministers looked at each other, and the matter of opposing the crown prince was already tacitly understood.

Gu Xi and Emperor Jichang reached a temporary reconciliation.

Emperor Jichang had no idea that when Gu Xi went out, she was like a god who saved the people from danger. The people had great respect for the national teacher, and many places built temples and erected monuments in her honor. Gu Xi won the hearts of the people all over the world.

After leaving the palace, Gu Xi gathered 800 special forces soldiers and went to the nearest village to conduct experiments, allowing the special forces soldiers to learn the planting methods and precautions of hybrid rice. Later, they would act as technical instructors and be sent to various places.

Chenjia Village, outside Beijing.

Chen Liu was enjoying the cool under a tree at the entrance of the village when he suddenly saw a group of people coming in, looking very majestic.

But their attire was inappropriate and they did not look like officers and soldiers.

Chen Liu was so scared that he ran away, shouting as he ran:

"Oh no, oh no, the bandits are coming!"

Gu Xi heard Chen Liu's call: "..."

She just felt that wearing military uniforms was too hot, so she gave each special forces soldier a set of short-sleeved quick-drying clothes and pants, so that when they went to work in the fields later, the sweat would dry quickly and would not stick to their bodies.

How did he become a bandit?

Gu Xi turned around and looked at the eight hundred special forces soldiers who were mighty and full of fighting spirit. Well, they really looked like bandits.

"You are going to farm, not fight. Please restrain your murderous aura and don't scare the people!" Gu Xi shouted.

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. Did they have murderous intent? They didn't feel it. How could they stop it?

"Everyone smile!" Gu Xi shouted again helplessly.

"Hehe, hahaha!" The soldiers carried out Gu Xi's orders absolutely to the letter.

The laughter resounded through the heavens and the earth, startling the nearby birds so much that they flapped their wings and flew away in an emergency to escape. There was also a burst of chickens and dogs barking in the village.

"Forget it, it's better not to laugh."

It’s just that she trained them to be as fierce as wolves and tigers.

Chen Liu ran all the way into the village chief's house, panting heavily and saying:

"Village chief, something bad has happened. A group of people have arrived at the entrance of the village. They look like bandits!"

The village chief said unhappily:

"What are you yelling about? We are in the suburbs of Beijing, at the feet of the emperor. There are troops stationed 20 miles away. What blind bandits dare to come here to rob?"

Just then, a burst of laughter came over, scaring the village chief.

I hurried out and came to the village entrance.

Many villagers also stretched their heads to look outside, ready to run away at any time.

As the village chief, he could not retreat, so he could only step forward, clasp his fists, and say tremblingly:

"My dear friends, I am the head of Chenjia Village. Our village has suffered from drought this year, and every household has little surplus food."

Gu Xi got off the horse and said with a smile:

"Don't be afraid, village chief. We are not bandits. We are government officials."

Unexpectedly, when Village Chief Chen heard that it was someone from the government, he turned pale with fear and fell to his knees:

"Sir, please spare me. This year there is a severe drought and the taxes owed by the village can only be paid next year."

Gu Xi: “…”
