"A total of 2117 jin!”
In the sweet potato field, Wei Zheng counted all the numbers that he had just weighed.
"That's great! Haha!"
Hearing that half an acre of land had such a high yield, Li Er laughed excitedly." I lost!" I admit defeat, haha…!”
If such a miraculous crop were to be promoted, they would not have to worry about food every year in the future!
If the food problem was solved, he could send troops to Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun!
In the past few years, due to the shortage of food and grass, he could only passively defend and did not dare to use troops. He was afraid that he would repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang.
"Congratulations…Old Master, congratulations Old Master!”
Wei Zheng was about to address her as His Majesty when he saw Li Xuan beside him. He hurriedly changed his words.
"Half an acre is 2000 catties, so one acre is 4000 catties. This kid really isn't lying!”
Princess Changle blinked her watery eyes and sized up Li Xuan curiously.
She had been by her father's side since she was young, so she naturally knew his worries like the back of her hand.
She had not expected that the autumn drought that had troubled her father for many years would actually be resolved by a young scholar with delicate features!
"Since the outcome has been decided, shouldn't we keep our promise…?”
Seeing Li Ershu's delight, Li Xuan hurriedly said," Didn't we agree that whoever wins can make a request?!”
"Let alone one, even ten won't do, haha…!”
Li Er waved his sleeves and said very straightforwardly,"Tell me, what do you want…!”
At this moment, not only was he in a good mood, but he also liked Li Xuan more!
"I want to marry this lady…!"
He glanced at Princess Chang Le beside him and said without blushing.
"What? Marry me?"
Princess Chang Le, who was curiously sizing him up just now, was stunned when she heard him say that.
She didn't do anything, so how did it suddenly become a bet?
Not only her, even Li Er was stunned. It was as if he was choking on a steamed bun and could not laugh at all!
If it was a high position and a generous salary, he would agree without hesitation. After all, this was a good thing for the people of the world.
However, he never expected that this kid would propose to marry his precious daughter. For a moment, he did not know what to say!
"How dare you! Don't be impudent in front of His Majesty!”
Seeing Li Er's dumbfounded expression, Zhangsun Wuji quickly berated him and revealed his identity as the emperor.
"Phew…!"
Li Shi Min heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, someone had helped him out.
This kid knew his identity, wouldn't he be scared out of his wits? Not to mention making requests, he would probably kowtow and beg for mercy immediately!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
However, he did not kneel down and kowtow as he had expected. This kid seemed to have known his identity long ago. There was actually no panic in his eyes!
Just like before, he still looked calm and collected!
"The princess has a noble status. How can you mountain villagers covet her?”
Zhangsun Wuji saw that he did not have the slightest fear and reprimanded him with a fierce face.
The eldest princess was his daughter-in-law. Now that someone was fighting for her, how could he agree?
"This should be Li Er's little cotton-padded jacket, Zhangsun Wuji!”
Li Xuan guessed his identity and turned his gaze to Wei Zheng." May I ask, Duke Zheng, what is the crime of harming the country and the ruler?”
Just now, Zhangsun Wuji called him Old Wei, so he was most likely Wei Zheng.
You even know me?
Wei Zheng was stunned. He had never revealed his identity from the beginning to the end. How did this kid know?
Could it be that he already knew their identities?
"It's a crime of treason!"
Wei Zheng was surprised and said solemnly.
This matter concerned the imperial court and the country's system. He did not dare to play around!
"If you encounter such a sycophantic official, as a remonstrant, shouldn't you impeach His Majesty?”
"That's right! It is my duty to supervise the officials and protect the court!”
Wei Zheng didn't know why he asked this question, but he still nodded.
"Alright then, the Duke of Qi has harmed the country and the ruler. Should the Duke of Zheng impeach His Majesty and punish him according to the law?”
Li Xuan pointed at Zhangsun Wuji and fabricated a crime.
"Brat, I'm loyal. How can I harm the country and the monarch?”
Zhangsun Wuji reprimanded sternly.
He didn't expect this kid to be so bold. How dare he?
Were the villagers so picky nowadays?
"Instigating His Majesty to break his promise and attempt to make His Majesty bear the infamy of being unkind and unjust is a mistake! Longxi has been suffering from autumn droughts all year round, and the people are suffering. You don't care about the sufferings of the people and ignore the promotion of potato grain. This is a mistake for the country…!”
Li Xuan turned to Wei Zheng." Duke Shi Cai is still vivid in my mind. Don't tell me the officials are protecting Lord Zhangsun?”
"This…?"
Wei Zheng was at a loss for words and did not know how to answer.
He was just a bystander. Why was he involved? This made him very depressed.
If Zhangsun Wuji had not harmed the country and the emperor, he had indeed threatened the emperor to break his promise.
If the emperor went back on his word, then the planting and promotion of sweet potatoes might fail, and the people of Longxi would not be able to survive the autumn drought every year.
However, it was a little serious to say that Zhangsun Wuji had harmed the country and the emperor. Everyone knew that he was loyal to the emperor!
Therefore, he was in a dilemma and did not know how to answer.
