Only after the two men walked away did everyone stand up.
Chu Tianyu looked at the two people's departing backs with a sinister look!
Prince, Prince! Prince! Father kept calling him Prince!
It was clear that a few years ago, my father stopped calling me the crown prince!
These ministers are just a bunch of fence-sitters!
Chu Tiankuo hasn't come back yet, and everyone is being very respectful to him.
Now everyone is saying that the prince has made great contributions!
The prince has made great contributions!
The prince is blessed with great fortune!
Bah!
What a Chu Tiankuo, he really underestimated him!
The second prince looked at Prime Minister Liang and others with a dark face, then strode away!
He's so mad!
Prime Minister Liang frowned. The Second Prince still hadn't learned to keep his composure.
What's the hurry
They also caught a yellow card.
Even if he has made great achievements, he will still be ruined as long as the scandal of his homosexuality comes out!
The most important thing now is to find the person who cultivated the high-yield grain and the person who invented the three agricultural tools, and win them over to use for yourself! If you can't win them over, then destroy them!
The high-yield grain varieties of Zhao State have to be re-breeded every year, and I think the ones bred by Chu State are also the same.
So as long as they can find the person who cultivates high-yield grain varieties, they will be able to turn the situation around!

Imperial Study
The emperor signaled the eunuch to dismiss the people around him. All the guards outside the house stood two meters away. Then he asked, "Who cultivated this high-yield grain? I must reward him well! And I will also reward her well for those farm tools."
Chu Tiankuo said in a respectful yet cold tone: "Cultivating high-yield grains is a great contribution to the benefit of the people of the world. How does the emperor plan to reward you? How does the emperor plan to reward you for the invention of the three farm tools?"
The emperor looked at his son, who was no longer as close to him as when he was young, and stammered. In the end, he said nothing. He pondered for a moment and said, "Ku'er, how do you think we should reward them? You were right before. The method and location of growing these high-yield grains are secrets and cannot be leaked. In order to protect them, the rewards for these two people cannot be made public for the time being, but rewards are indispensable."
Chu Tiankuo raised his lips and smiled a mocking smile: "How can I reward you just as your son says?"
The emperor glanced at him and his mind moved. Could it be that this high-yield grain variety was really cultivated by him
The emperor nodded when he thought of this: "Well, I'll reward you as Kuo'er says!"
Chu Tiankuo was not polite: "You invented high-yield grains, which benefited the people and future generations. This is a great contribution. I think you should be granted the title of marquis."
The emperor frowned when he heard this: "A title of nobility?"
Did he want to vindicate Marquis Changping and posthumously confer the title of Marquis Changping
But... there is no need for that!
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "The marquises of the current dynasty were all granted titles for accompanying Emperor Taizu in conquering the world. It is a hereditary title! Anyone with a title has played a role in conquering the world. The title is meant to share the country. After the founding of the State of Chu, no one has been able to be granted a title of marquis! There is no precedent for such a title."
Chu Tiankuo: "Since ancient times, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to keep it! I believe that cultivating high-yield grains with an output of nearly 1,000 kilograms per mu will help stabilize the country of Chu. Moreover, this contribution is long-term and permanent, and will benefit generations to come! Therefore, I think it is not too much to make him a marquis or even a king! If there is no precedent, we can make one!"
Be crowned king
He really dares to say that
It’s better to be conferred a title of nobility!
The emperor looked at him and thought for a moment, "You are right. Then confer him the title of Marquis of Shi'an. This title can be announced to the world, but the identity of the person will not be announced for the time being."
Chu Tiankuo already knew that his father was always cautious in everything he did, and was afraid of this and that. If he didn't want to announce it, then he didn't have to announce it. As long as he had the title, it would be enough!
Besides, if we make it public, that girl might be afraid of trouble!
As for being crowned king
Oh, his girl is so capable, it’s only a matter of time before she becomes king!
Chu Tiankuo nodded: "Father has thought it through. Besides, growing grain requires fields..."
The emperor said cheerfully, "I'll give you another thousand acres of good farmland and ten thousand taels of silver! How about that?"
It just so happened that when he was a prince, he still had some fertile land that was not included in the imperial land.
No one in the court knew.
Over the years, the soldiers have been supported by those fields.
Although one thousand acres have been set aside as breeding experimental fields, if the grain yield is 1,000 kilograms per acre, the grain harvested from the remaining fields will be enough to feed the soldiers.
It's just that he gave the order to expand the military a while ago, and tens of thousands of soldiers were secretly added there.
This is a lot of food to eat every day.
It seems that we have to ask Prince Ding to secretly buy some more good farmland.
Chu Tiankuo: "I, your son, thank the emperor for the reward on behalf of Marquis Shi'an! As for the three farm tools, the pedal thresher is the most practical..."
The emperor already knows who invented these three farm tools. The person's reward is still to come. He plans to confer the title of princess on her when the time comes, but there is no rush now.
The emperor interrupted him and said, "The merits of these three farm tools are far less than those of the high-yield grain seeds. It is impossible for her to be granted a title of nobility. I will reward her with an imperial memorial archway, a three-story house in the capital, and a pair of jade ruyi."
Another imperial memorial archway? What is the use of this thing
Although the girl didn't say anything about the imperial memorial archway, she knew that she despised it! After all, it was not practical at all!
Chu Tiankuo shook his head: "Once the imperial memorial arch is built, others will know where the inventor of the farm tools is. Therefore, although the imperial memorial arch is good and gives the other party great honor, such a talented person needs protection in addition to keeping it secret. Father might as well reward her with a gold medal! A gold medal that can command the Jinying Guards from all over the country to protect her. A gold medal that officials from all over the country cannot make things difficult for her even if they see it!"
He also intended to test whether the emperor had secretly sent the Jinyiwei to protect her.
The emperor nodded readily: "Your Highness has thought it through. Such a talented person really needs to be secretly recognized. Then I will grant her a gold medal that is as if I were there in person!"
This reward of a gold medal is exactly what I was thinking.
He had originally planned to reward her with a gold medal to make it easier for the Golden Eagle Guards from all over the country to protect her.
Chu Tiankuo glanced at the emperor when he heard this. It seemed that his father had indeed sent the Jinying Guards to protect her.
This is definitely not because of saving fuel.
Why is that
Formation
Could it be that Mr. Tang is related to my father
What is the purpose of the two people's contact
Why did the master hide it from me
Chu Tiankuo continued, "The gold medal for my personal visit, a three-story house in the capital, and a pair of jade ruyi are rewards for the pedal thresher. What about the manual harvester? What do you plan to reward me with, my father?"
Emperor: "..."
