Capítulo 290: Chapter 290 Yang Chengrong Gains Favor and Prince Su's Misfortune (1)_1

"To answer the Emperor, this person is Yang Chengrong from Yangliu village," Xiao Hongtao reported truthfully. "This year, your humble official distributed the wheat and rice seeds cultivated by Yang Chengrong to the people, and Yang Chengrong personally led others to guide the villagers in weeding, pest control, fertilizing, and so on. The per-acre yield of wheat and rice in the entire county has more than doubled compared to previous years. Moreover, last year Yang Chengrong had already successfully trialed the second-season rice, which is why he convinced your humble official to test-plant second-season wheat and rice across the county. Please, Your Majesty, ascertain this for yourself."

Several high-ranking officials widened their eyes, showing surprise and delight, although what they truly thought, only they knew best.

The Emperor suddenly stood up, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he stared at Xiao Hongtao, "Is what my beloved official says really true?"
