MTL - I Built a Territory in Ancient Times-Chapter 155 Festival
You guys, I will be very pleased to be able to share the worries and relieve labor for the emperor in the future. "
"Yes! The sons and ministers will do their best to share the worries of the father and the emperor." The princes got up one after another and responded in unison.
Of course, the princes can't really dress up in colorful flower clothes and play funny clowns to entertain their relatives. Otherwise, if you really say it, do you still need the identity of the prince? They were just joking and making the emperor happy. As for sharing the emperor's worries, it also depends on whether the father and the emperor give them a chance.
Mingzhen's embarrassment was easily resolved by Mingtao, which has to show that Tao has a lot of skills. Ming Yu looked at everything from the side, but just laughed and didn't speak.
When the emperor asked him what it was and how he got it, Ming Yu stood up.
Of course he couldn't say that it was fireworks made from scraps while developing firearms. I can only say: "This is the firework that Erchen made the craftsmen work hard for more than a year to develop. In order to celebrate the birthday of the father, it was made day and night, just to catch up with the father. Halloween."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, the filial piety of the old fourteenth is commendable, I am very pleased."
I don't know how many people this sentence caused pantothenic acid, and Ming Yu was unaware of the burning gaze falling on him. Then he said: "Father, you know Erchen, the border city is desolate and barren, and it is really barren. Erchen really has nothing to do, so he can only use his brain to think of some strange and ingenious things for the father. Have fun."
As soon as the words of showing weakness came out, those sour eyes really took back a little better, and everyone's hearts were finally more balanced. Yeah, what's the deal with such a fool? Look at his fief, barren and poor, what can there be? Or did he win it by himself, haha, now you know how hard it is to live?
Look at him, he can't live any longer, and now he is still getting some caravans to go to the Western Regions for business. A prince, but doing business and business, it would be shameful to say it. They were envious of how many silver taels Ming Yu earned before, and now they are no longer jealous.
It is even more heard that Ming Yu sold the caravan to the Third Prince in order to get some Xiqi Corridor and for the sake of money, which is simply short-sighted. With the caravan in hand, how could he not drink the northwest wind, this way of making money is lost, and there will be times when he will cry in the future. Seeing that he was looking for people to borrow money everywhere in Beijing these days, he really lost his identity. No matter how bad these princes were, it was impossible for them to be worse off than Ming Yu.
So Ming Yu originally wanted to endure hardship and be poor in front of the emperor in order to gain impression points. However, he inadvertently gained the sympathy and sympathy of most people, and he himself did not expect this.
The emperor was also moved by Ming Yu's words, and just wanted to blurt out "Reward!", but suddenly remembered that his private bank had been emptied by Ming Yu earlier, but fortunately he stopped in time. This old fourteenth, I am afraid that he is not interested in the congratulations sent by the courtiers today. This is absolutely impossible. If the old fourteen is fooled like this, his net worth will really be gone.
Of course, no one knew that the current emperor was so poor, and Ming Yu felt a little regretful when he saw that the emperor didn't say anything.
He had to continue: "Although the land is thin and the people are sparse, there is not much output to donate. However, I heard that the watermelon that the son gave as tribute last year was very much loved by the emperor, and recently he got the corn with high yield in the west, thinking about this. It was rare, so I deliberately presented it as a congratulatory gift to the royal father, hoping that the royal father would like it."
He had already told the emperor about the corn when he came back, but he couldn't spread it. Today, he specially mentioned it in front of the courtiers, but also for publicity and publicity. Of course, he also communicated with the emperor in advance, and asked the emperor to help promote it.
The emperor is also very cooperative, "The watermelon that the old 14 presented last time is really good, and I like it very much. It's just that this corn, which is from Fuminfeng, has never heard of it. Hurry up and present it to everyone. Look at them all."
Last year's watermelon Mingyu sent someone to Beijing, and only courtiers with high morals were lucky enough to get a little taste of it, but the taste was indeed unforgettable.
As for the corn, everyone was dumbfounded. What is this, but after hearing Ming Yu said that it came from the west, it was a good thing to think about. When they come down, they have to inquire to see if there are many more in Duanwang. If it is the same as the watermelon, they can also pay attention.
Last year, the people from Duanwang also said that the watermelon has just been tested, and the output is not much, just enough for the emperor. However, this year, they will try to plant on a large area. Maybe they have succeeded. It seems that they have to find Duanwang to buy some at a high price.
There are only so many things, first come, first served, what the emperor said is good, can you?
The author has something to say: Thank you to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during the period of 2021-02-06 11:47:32~2021-02-07 11:53:18~
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: Shanren did not have 5 bottles of meow; 1 bottle of rgmau; thank you very much for your support to me, I will continue to work hard!
125 Chapter 125
Ming Yu clapped his hands, and a palace servant had already put the prepared watermelon and corn on the tray. Everyone looked intently, the watermelon jasper was clear, and the golden splendor called corn had indeed never been seen before.
These things are all from the west, except for a few people who have seen watermelons, others don't know these things at all.
Prime Minister Wen was also very curious. He was fortunate enough to taste the watermelon back then. It was sweet, crunchy and juicy, which fit his appetite very well. Is the thing called corn presented by Ming Yujing today also the same as watermelon?
"I don't know what this corn is, and what is it for?" Prime Minister Wen asked.
The emperor nodded towards Ming Yu, and then saw how Ming Yu behaved.
Ming Yu was already prepared and told the origin of corn.
Everyone heard that they came from the far west, and they all became curious. They have only heard that there are many small countries in the Western Regions, and in their conception, this is already very far out of reach.
Unexpectedly, from what Ming Yu said, it seems that there is still a farther place, and the customs there are very different from those in the Central Plains. One side of the water and soil raises the other side, and the species they produce are naturally different.
However, it can be seen that this thing is not easy to come by, but then again, except Ming Yu, who would do nothing to pay attention to the things that grow in the ground all day long. If it was them, it is estimated that they would be dismissive even in front of them, right? Why would they make a special trip to collect these seeds in exchange for them?
"Don't underestimate it, this thing has high yield and can also be used as a staple food. It is easy to survive and can be planted in barren and arid places. In this way, many places where food cannot be grown can be used. If it is promoted by the government , corn can be planted all over the country, and the people of Dayan will also be able to have more food support in the future, is this not a bad thing?" Ming Yu expressed his thoughts.
The Minister of the Ministry of Housing was a little unconvinced, "Since this new species has only been introduced from the west, how does King Duan know the habits of this species? This species has never been planted in Dayan, so how do you know that this species can adapt to other places? Climate and soil conditions? You must know that oranges born in the south are oranges, and oranges born in the north are oranges. All things have spirits, and it is not as simple as the prince said."
Since Ming Yu dared to say this, of course he was confident. In later generations, corn has long been popularized, and the number of people who plant it is unknown. Naturally, he also referred to all aspects of corn in later generations to say this.
Ming Yu smiled politely at the words of Shangshu Tobu, "Of course, I dared to introduce this thing after doing an experiment."
"Experiment? What kind of experiment, is it possible that the prince can plant this corn in all places in a short period of time? Otherwise, how can we know its regional growth habits?" Zou Chang frowned.
how can that be? Not to mention the growth cycle of the seeds brought back, how many seeds can the caravan bring back? How much can be planted?
Their household department is in charge of the household registration and fields, and the food problem of the people in the world is a major issue related to people's livelihood. Duan Wang, you are going to trade, no one is stopping you, but it is a bit outrageous to point fingers at farmers' crops.
Ming Yu pouted and said impatiently, "What's so difficult about this? This king can make flowers and trees bloom and bear fruit in winter, and also make peach trees bear pears. Do you believe it?"
Zou Chang thought that Ming Yu was trolling him and satirizing him, and angrily threw a sentence, "How can this be so unreasonable!"
Farmers plant crops according to the four agricultural seasons. Who in the world doesn’t know how to harvest in autumn and store in winter, and harvest flowers in spring and fall in autumn? What about winter blooms? Ha ha! What an ignorant child, he thinks his nonsense can be believed? Treat everyone sitting here as fools like him?
Everyone present laughed at him, what did King Duan know? The four seasons are unclear, the five grains are not divided, how can we expect him to say something serious?
Ming Yu was speechless. You haven't seen it, you don't believe it, doesn't it mean it doesn't exist? Even if I explained it to them, they would not understand, Xia Zong was speechless. Speechless, Ming Yu is really speechless. As the saying goes, you can never wake up a group of people pretending to be asleep, what can Ming Yu do? Only to be slapped in the face with facts in the future.
"Gu believe him!" Prince Ming Ye expressed his support for Ming Yu.
Then another cold voice sounded, "I also believe in the prince."
Ming Yu stood in the center of everyone's focus, not at all annoyed by the ridicule, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard two familiar voices.
One is the prince. After he learned about the properties of corn from Ming Yu, he had already realized it. in the future
