Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

Chapter 130 Banning

After a long silence, Minister Zhong finally broke the silence. He was keenly aware of the emperor's dissatisfaction and decided to stand up and express his views.

Minister Zhong saluted the emperor respectfully, and then said firmly: "Your Majesty! Miss Zheng's design of new agricultural tools is indeed a remarkable achievement! This is not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also a great contribution to the development of agriculture.

In addition, although the double-season rice planting plan has not yet produced any actual results, its potential benefits are immeasurable.

These measures will undoubtedly bring benefits to the people and will benefit the present and future generations!"

After hearing what Minister Zhong said, everyone nodded in agreement.

Minister Zhong continued, "I think Miss Zheng should be rewarded for her meritorious service. Gold and silver jewelry cannot express the recognition of her meritorious service."

The court officials all nodded, including Emperor Yongshun. The concubines standing by also nodded in agreement even though they had no right to make suggestions.

Minister Zhong: "Generally, men with meritorious service will be promoted or given an official title. Miss Zheng is a woman, and no woman has ever been given an official title in the past dynasties. I suggest that Miss Zheng be given a title."

The court officials nodded again. It was just a title and had no real power, so they could still accept it.

Emperor Yongshun also nodded, thought for a while and said, "Well, I think this proposal is good. My dear ministers, please think about what title is good. We will decide it at the court tomorrow morning."

Emperor Yongshun said to Zheng Sisi again: "Sisi girl, do you have any ideas?"

Zheng Sisi obediently said to Emperor Yongshun: "Uncle Emperor, I don't think I am suitable for any title, because this is not my credit, it was taught by my master. If we talk about the credit, it should belong to my master."

Emperor Yongshun waved his hand and said, "If I say it is your contribution, then it is yours. Your master only imparted knowledge to you and has the merit of teaching you, but you put it into practice and benefit the people of Liming. This is a fact, so don't be modest."

Zheng Sisi lowered her head shyly, but she was actually very happy and was secretly enjoying herself.

When the court officials saw Zheng Sisi refuse the title, they all admired her good character of not being greedy for credit.

At this time, Zheng Sisi asked Emperor Yongshun weakly: "Uncle Emperor, what flowers do you want to plant in the two plots of land in your imperial garden?"

Emperor Yongshun looked at the open space and said, "What kind of flowers does Sisi like? Tell me what kind of flowers Uncle Emperor will plant for you."

Zheng Sisi held her forehead with her hand, she was afraid that she would be surrounded and beaten by a group of concubines.

Zheng Sisi: "Uncle Emperor, I brought some corn seeds with me. I also planted them on my farm, so I wanted to plant some for you as well."

Emperor Yongshun's eyes lit up: "Corn seeds, what does corn look like? Bring it to Uncle Emperor to see."

Zheng Sisi untied the cloth bag around her waist, opened it, took out a handful of yellow corn kernels from the bag, and held them in front of Emperor Yongshun.

"Uncle Emperor, look, this is corn kernels. Corn is a coarse grain that can be used as a staple food, a dessert, a dish, or a snack. It has many uses.

The yield of corn is also very high, several times higher than the rice grown by ordinary people.”

The court officials looked at the handful of yellow grains in Zheng Sisi's hand and never imagined that it could be eaten in so many ways. But when they heard that the yield was higher than that of rice, they also wanted to get some seeds to plant at home, so that they could have a taste of it anyway.

Emperor Yongshun said: "How do we plant this?"

Zheng Sisi: "Corn is easy to grow and drought-resistant. After planting, you only need to fertilize it once and weed it. Do you want to plant some?"

Emperor Yongshun rubbed his hands and said: "Plant, you tell me how to plant."

Emperor Yongshun stood up and walked towards the open space. The third prince also stood up, went to the side to get a new hoe and handed it to Zheng Sisi who was walking over.

Zheng Sisi took the hoe and began to tidy up the ground that had just been turned over, breaking up the large pieces of mud.
