While the Emperor was contemplating his next move, Qian Kun was delighted.
"Your Majesty, this subject requests your permission to visit De Long City and meet with the Duke of Zhenguo personally."
The moment he heard this, Emperor Tianwu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do you want to meet him?"
Qian Kun had spent more than 40 years trying to find a new method to cultivate better crops and increase the yield during harvest.
At this moment, his mind was only focused on what method the Duke of Zhenguo used to achieve such a high yield. So, he didn't notice the Emperor's suspicions at all.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this subject wishes to ask the Duke of Zhenguo about the method he uses to increase the yield. If we can learn the method, the commoners will be able to get a good harvest next year, and we no longer have to worry about food shortages."
