The first day of the Lunar New Year in the 32nd year is destined to be a day that many people will never forget.

The seventeen-year-old King De made the "Yueyang Tower Notes" that shocked the world, especially the two sentences "Worry about the world before worrying, and then enjoying the world after joy", which greatly shocked the civil and military officials and foreign missions in the Golden Palace.

When Liu Mingqi finished her thoughts, in addition to the deafening applause, she calmed down and whispered in various whispers.

Like the last time "Encouraging Learning", not only were the Confucian ministers amazed, but many Legalists and Mohists also praised and discussed "Yueyang Tower Inscriptions" excitedly.

Because Fan Wenzheng, who wrote this article, was a Confucian child who was more practical and more dedicated. He has been guarding the northwest for many years and was called Grandpa Fan in the Western Xia people!

Of course, his articles will not be a sour Confucian style, but are full of practical spirit.

The Legalists and Mohists just happen to be the ones they like most and appreciate most is hard work.

Gao Zhong, who sat a little further, quietly asked his younger brother, "Second, do you think this article by His Highness De is an impersonator?"

“Bad talk!”

Gao Xiao became angry, "Brother, you just don't like to read and are ignorant. Can you impersonate a name for such an article? Who would like to let others impersonate a name?"

Gao Zhong was two years older than his younger brother, but he admired his younger brother since he was a child. He smiled embarrassedly after hearing this, "I still studied... The second brother, look, he said at the beginning that he had never been to Dongting Lake or Yueyang Tower, but he wrote such a detailed article... And the vicissitudes and dusk in it are so obvious, how dare you say you are not confused?"

Gao Xiao laughed in anger this time, "Brother, don't you know that these knowledgeable people are all geniuses full of magnificent imagination? His Royal Highness De has not educated people before, so how did he write "Encouragement"? Encouragement is not like a sixteen-year-old boy! But it has been a year since this, who has emerged? Who has produced evidence that it was written by him?"

"Yes...but this is not because of fear of the power of Prince Yu's Mansion and King De?" Gao Zhong couldn't help but say.

"How much power can the royal family have? They cannot participate in politics, cannot join the army, cannot leave the capital, and cannot own land..." Gao Xiao said lightly: "Tell me, who is afraid of such a prince? Not to mention that Miao Taisheng and Ge Honglian have been the prefect of the Imperial Capital one after another. Are they still afraid that they will seek justice for the people after suing them? Don't forget the grain merchant who was killed at the gate of the Imperial Capital Office!"

Gao Zhong nodded slowly and expressed his agreement with his younger brother's statement.

The grain merchant who struck and died on the stone lion at the gate of the Imperial Court Government, although he was unknown, had really caused huge waves. The scale was unique in the founding of the Dakang Kingdom for more than 80 years.

A prime minister, four second-rank officials, and countless officials were either demoted to the frontier because of his head.

The entire Dakang Chao weakened one-fifth of his strength, which is not an exaggeration at all.

What triggered this beginning was to withstand all pressure and face the Saint Miao Yan directly.

With such a person here, are you afraid that you will not be able to deal with a prince or even a prince?

It's even more different now.

The person sitting in the position of the imperial capital prefect is the deputy prime minister Ge Songdao. This person is even more cruel. He is known as the God of Ge Killing. He killed hundreds of thousands of unruly natives in the three southwestern provinces, and his body is covered in blood.

What do you think of such a person, what is a mere prince in front of him?

If such a thing is really happening, these two people don’t have to work hard to do it, and the scholars will be in a big way. The more they admired Liu Mingqi before, they will now despise Liu Mingqi. The Prince De’s mansion must be blocked and scolded all day long - just like in the past few months, the doorstep of Prime Minister Cao Yi.

Therefore, no normal person can do anything to seize other people's works.

Not to mention that King De was a genius known to the world, he was not that stupid.

While nodding, Gao Zhong swallowed, "Second, you said he has such a good relationship with our father, why don't you take care of our family in business?"

"Isn't it enough to take care of?" Gao Xiao looked at him contemptuously, "Brother, how many goods are there from Prince Yu's Mansion in your pawnshop? Isn't it enough? How many shops are like you in the capital? You are almost becoming a specialty store for Prince Yu's Mansion!"

"Haha, this is pretty good. What's the point of making money?" Gao Zhong said shyly, "I mean, their magic medicine is so good, why don't you sell it for a little? Look, the emperor buys one thousand copies! Give me a hundred... No, even twenty or thirty copies, I'll send it all!"

"I'm too lazy to tell you." Gao Xiao stopped talking, turned his head and began to silently recite the article "Yueyang Tower Inscription" just now, and instantly forgot about his brother's existence.

Gao Zhong looked at Liu Mingqi but felt regretful.

Not everyone can have magical medicine worth 1,000 taels of silver. My father was rewarded by the emperor and only got ten copies.

Unfortunately, I didn’t dare to sell it secretly, otherwise I could sell it for 2,000 taels per piece!

Several rich people have made an appointment with me!!

Even if you only sell five shares, you will make a net profit of 10,000 taels!

...

The four cabinet masters sitting at the same table also had their own feelings at this time.

Because Nangong Ji was removed from his position as a Grand Secretary and his position as a deputy prime minister, he did not appear at the New Year's banquet at all.

This was also the first time he had missed the New Year's banquet in decades.

This is also a very meaningful signal, which means that Nangong Ji is destined to withdraw from the court. The suspense is that he will withdraw in one or two years or two years.

From then on, Nangong Ji and his group no longer had a backer to the top and no big upward momentum.

Not to mention Nangong Ji's family, they are originally the main players of eating, drinking and having fun, and they have no ability at all. Once they do not have Nangong Ji's care, it is a question whether they can survive.

Unless someone as amazing as Liu Mingqi appears, it is impossible for him to appear in the court again.

Zhong Chang admired Liu Mingqi very much. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "King De is indeed a rare saint. With him in the literary world, he will definitely be a bright banner. I wonder how many students will benefit from his articles!"

Ma Haoqiu nodded, "If you don't say anything else, I admire him very much because of his worries about the world in advance and the joy of the world in the world. It is really rare for a mere 17-year-old boy to have such words as Huang Zhong Dalu!"

Ge Songdao also smiled faintly, "I think that King De is best at poetry, songs, moral articles, but his smart brain. Things like honeycomb coal, magic medicine, and sweet potatoes, and ten or twenty things. Why worry about my great health forever? The people are well-fed and well-dressed and no longer suffering from hunger or hardship?"

Cao Yi, who was hit one after another, was now very silent, heard this and said, "Ge Xiang, do you think sweet potatoes can really be made?"

Zhong Chang quickly pinched his legs and reminded himself not to laugh out loud.

It was because of sweet potatoes that Cao Yi's family directly lost nearly 240,000 acres of good land, which was heartbreaking.

Ge Songdao also knew this, but he has never been afraid of trouble since he encountered a major change.

So he answered directly: "Didn't you go and see the sweet potato incident with Cao Xiang? Can you still make false statements in full view of everyone?"

In order to worry about fraud, the emperor and ministers went to see the several acres of sweet potato fields the next day, and the Qianniuwei were responsible for harvesting, and there was no room for fraud at all.

"I just think..." Cao Yi pondered for a moment, "not only has an amazingly high yield, but it can also be planted in most parts of the world... Why haven't such a magical object been before? God is so nice to us, isn't it a bit of a blessing or a disaster?"

"Cao Xiang has been worried." Ma Haoqiu also spoke, "If we do not solve the current problem because of the difficulties that follow, then what is the use of our parents sitting here? No matter what happens in the future, as long as sweet potatoes can succeed, then Dakang will be really stable!"

Zhong Chang also agreed, "I have been running outside for many years, and the people outside are so bitter! They now think eating bran porridge is a gift! Survival is their only luxury, and sweet potatoes are such a magical thing!

I only pray that sweet potatoes can be like what King De said. Even if they continue to plant them in the second and third years, they will not reduce the yield! Two thousand kilograms, this is really a god-given thing!”

Seeing that the three of them took turns to oppose him, Cao Yi shook his head and refused to speak.

From this we can actually see that although he is still the number one prime minister at present, he can no longer control the situation.

In fact, he was not saying that he was against sweet potatoes, but was just worried about it.

Cao Yi even worried that the production of sweet potatoes will affect more than tens of millions of people who grow rice and wheat?

Will they continue to grow food or turn to growing sweet potatoes?

The contradiction between this is not a very simple matter.

But Cao Yi didn't say it now.

After all, it will take two or three years for sweet potatoes to spread and plant from the Gyeonggi area to spread and grow outside.

During the past two or three years, he carefully looked at the planting of sweet potatoes, and then he could make suggestions to the emperor based on facts.

Cao Yi did not forget that the environment he is in is not much better than Nangong Ji.

His retirement was only three years after the recent series of messes were cleaned up.

Three years later, whether the Cao family can keep the more than 200,000 acres of land they have, depends entirely on his performance in the past three years.

Therefore, Cao Yi had to do his own thing carefully without any slackness.
