Chapter 1234 Sweet Potato Issue 2
Rearing on the chair, Li Chen said: "Fortunately, this time I found out that you have no direct relationship with the grain price case, otherwise you would just twist your head."
"But even if you have no direct relationship with this case, as the prefect of the capital, you still have unshirkable responsibilities. Do you admit this?"
Zheng Baorong lowered his head and said, "The criminal is aware of his mistake and confesses his guilt."
"good."
Li Chen pointed and said, "Since you have also admitted your mistake, then I will not talk more nonsense."
"You have always done a good job in the promotion of sweet potatoes. Originally, the Left Minister of Works was just a springboard. I plan to mention you to the position of Minister of Works later, but now that you have done this, although I will not punish you, it will also offset the contributions of your promotion of sweet potatoes."
"Are you convinced?"
"I thank Your Highness for your guilt, and I surrender." It is a blessing to expose this matter safely, so how dare I ask for more.
Although it is a pity that he lost his position as Minister of Works, that is a matter that happened later and Zheng Baorong can't take much care of it.
Li Chen snorted a cold lesson and said, "You have some official rules when doing things as an official. I know very well that you don't want to offend others, nor do you have the courage to get involved. You would rather turn a blind eye and think that this way you can not offend both sides, but it is this kind of non-offending both sides that will make you more passive."
"I don't require you to be a sage and honest official, but you must be clear about what you can do and what you can't do. If there is another next time, I will definitely not let you go."
Zheng Baorong lay on the ground and said tremblingly: "I thank Your Highness for your teachings. I will remember them in my heart and I will never dare to offend them."
Seeing Zheng Baorong lying on the ground, but his legs were still in pain and moved and changing the center of gravity, Li Chen frowned and gave a wink to the eunuch who was serving him, saying, "Go and move a chair."
After the chair was moved in, Li Chen said, "Sit down and talk."
This time Zheng Baorong was really moved. He stood up tremblingly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After saying that, he carefully moved his butt to the chair, sat half of the chair, and looked at Li Chen respectfully and cautiously.
Li Chen picked up the memorial beside him and said while looking: "This second batch of sweet potatoes is also time to harvest. How many are there? How are the harvesting work prepared?"
Although Zheng Baorong became an official, his business ability was really unspeakable. Hearing Li Chen’s question, he immediately replied: “After the successful experience of this second batch of sweet potatoes, we increased the planting volume and improved some technology, so both the output and the scale have increased significantly compared to before.”
"When the first batch of sweet potatoes were promoted, the people in the capital had already tasted the benefits, so many people also spontaneously followed the second planting this time, and it is expected that they can harvest about 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes."
Speaking of this, Zheng Baorong became more and more energetic. This was his most outstanding political achievement. He believed that with the thorough promotion of sweet potatoes, his political achievement would become heavier.
"This time, Weichen plans to promote it to the entire Gyeonggi area."
