Before she could finish, Yang Chen immediately said,"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. This lowly official only has a good memory and just happened to remember it. This lowly official's physique is strong, so this prescription is not useful.”
What a joke, of course he had to explain. As a long-lasting player, why would he need this thing?!
Wu Ling spat." What does it have to do with me whether you need it or not? You lecher!"
Yang Chen was speechless.
F * ck, weren't you the one who asked?
Women were indeed unreasonable.
Shangguan Wan 'er pursed her lips. The empress would only act like a girl in front of Imperial Censor Yang, which was completely different from her usual seriousness.
The empress and the other two strolled around the city for half a day before returning to the palace.
The reason why Wu Ling wanted to leave the palace was to clearly understand the current state of the commoners. Now that the commoners were enthusiastically catching locusts, she was quite satisfied.
.........
Ten days later.
"Your Majesty, the locust plague in many places has been contained and there are no signs of it expanding.”Xu Zhaozong said respectfully.
Wu Ling nodded slightly." This response was timely. Before the disaster wreaked havoc, we had to contain it in time. Otherwise, our Great Zhou would have suffered heavy losses.”
She was also a little afraid.
Although there had been locust plagues in the past, they had never been on such a large scale.
If Yang Chen had not come forward and proposed an effective way to govern the situation, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty would probably have become a mess.
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's good governance and strategic planning. Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler of a generation," Wu Hongsheng said respectfully.”
Everyone began to flatter him.
"Your Majesty is considerate of the people and is a sage."
"With Your Majesty around, what is there to fear from a mere locust plague?”
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, cherishing the people. This is the blessing of the people.”
“........”
Wu Ling wore a dragon robe and had an indifferent expression.
She said in a deep voice,"I'm just a cicada with thin wings. Yang Qing's family should be the one to take the credit!" If it wasn't for Yang Qing's family's method of controlling locusts, how could the current situation be stable?”
Wu Ling's cold gaze landed on Yang Chen," Yang Qing's family has made such a great contribution. I am not a petty person. Yang Chen will accept the title."
Yang Chen cupped his hands and said,"Your subject is here."
Wu Ling said in a deep voice,"I'll appoint you as the Imperial Censor of the Palace. You'll be in charge of the worship ceremony in the Palace Court. You'll be in charge of supervising the etiquette of the court meeting.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Chen said.
Although he wasn't interested in being an imperial censor, it was a position bestowed by the empress after all. It could be considered a promotion.
Wu Ling nodded slightly. Her fair and pretty face revealed a trace of satisfaction.
This wasn't just to reward Yang Chen. It was also to show her boldness in using people. As long as she had the ability, she wouldn't be stingy with rewards.
Wait until the court meeting is over.
The surrounding officials gathered around.
"Congratulations, Censor Yang."
"Imperial Censor Yang is young and promising.”
"Censor Yang is not married yet, and I have a daughter who is still unmarried.”
“........”
A smile appeared on Yang Chen's handsome face as he cupped his hands in return.
Xu Zhaozong stroked his beard and smiled."Censor Yang is really formidable. The old me has a few granddaughters who have yet to find a good family. I think that Censor Yang is quite suitable. If Censor Yang has the time, you can come to the old me's residence to take a look…"
As the Minister of Rites, Xu Zhaozong was extremely powerful, yet he was so humble to Yang Chen, causing the surrounding officials to be extremely surprised.
Yang Chen smiled and said calmly," Minister Xu, you are too polite. I will definitely disturb you in the future. Minister Xu, please don't find it annoying."”
Xu Zhaozong stroked his beard and smiled.
He was extremely satisfied with Yang Chen. Other than the empress's high regard for Yang Chen, the most important thing was that Yang Chen's talent was stunning.
"Imperial Censor Yang has been promoted, so I'm sure he has many social events to attend to. This old man won't disturb you any longer.”Xu Zhaozong smiled and left.
Many officials came over to get close to him. Anyone could see that this Censor Yang had become a new upstart in the court.
Yang Chen smiled until his face was about to stiffen. Only then did he finally deal with these people.
F * ck, what's there to talk about with a bunch of old men!
He walked out of the palace and took a carriage to a village in the suburbs.
"Sir." An older servant said respectfully.
"Old Zhang, how are the crops I asked you to take care of?”Yang Chen said casually.
" Sir," Old Zhang said respectfully," those two crops are easy to grow and don't require much care. The growth is already quite gratifying."”
"Bring me to take a look…" Yang Chen muttered.
"Yes." Old Zhang then brought Yang Chen to the planting area.
After Yang Chen obtained the sweet potatoes and corn, he immediately bought a piece of land here and started planting.
The high yield of sweet potatoes and corn could be said to be a god-like crop in the current Great Zhou.
He would try to plant it himself first. When it matured, he would show it to Wu Ling. At that time, the terrifying yield would be more convincing than anything else.
After a while.
"Sir, please take a look." Old Zhang stopped and pointed to a place not far away.
Yang Chen stopped in his tracks. He glanced at the sweet potatoes. He could not see any changes for the time being, but the corn seedlings had risen quite a bit and were green.
He pondered for a moment and then opened the system store.
Yang Chen flipped through it for a long time and raised his eyebrows.
He found it!
"Nutrient fertilizer (upgrade): Increases the growth rate of crops. 1000!”
Yang Chen was somewhat speechless. He realized that his current Defiant Minister Points seemed to be somewhat insufficient!
He couldn't afford the fertilizer that could accelerate growth!
He was too careless! Recently, he hadn't been taking advantage of the empress.
He pondered for a moment." Old Zhang, I'll leave this place to you to take good care of. Don't make any mistakes.”
"Don't worry, Milord." Old Zhang said respectfully.
Yang Chen nodded. When he had accumulated enough Defiant Points, he would get some nutritious fertilizer.
With the system's nutrient fertilizer, they could speed up the growth and get a large area of mature corn and sweet potatoes as soon as possible.
This Defiant Official Value was a good thing, but it was a little taxing on the empress.
Inside Hanyuan Palace.
"Achoo!" Wu Ling suddenly sneezed.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Shangguan Wan 'er asked. Wan 'er, go call the imperial physician."
"It's fine." Wu Ling shook his head,"I'm fine. Oh right, did you find the thing I asked you to find?"”
Shangguan Wan 'er pursed her lips." Your Majesty, that kind of bird is very rare and difficult to find. However, there is already news. It's being transported to Chang 'an."
Wu Ling nodded her head, and her pretty face revealed a trace of indignation." If it wasn't for that traitor who made my bird disappear, why would I need to look for it again? This traitor!"
Ding! Defiant Minister Points 10!
Yang Chen, who had already returned to the residence, was dumbfounded. If he was really sitting at home, would a rebellious minister be worthy of heaven?
