Chapter 144 Trivial (1)
After lunch, the sun became more and more intense. The old man took Xi Yingzhen and Lan Yu to sit in the pavilion to enjoy the cool air.
The old man was lying on a bamboo chair with his legs leisurely stretched out. There was a pretty palace maid in front of him, slowly slapping the feather fan. The other two were each one with a stool, half squatting and half sitting.
After a long time, Xiao Yingzhen felt uncomfortable all over, while Lan Yu still had her back straight and her eyes were not squinted.
The old man next to him made a faint snoring sound. Xi Yingzhen finally couldn't help but whisper to Lan Yu, "Are you tired of sitting on this thing?"
Lan Yu looked at him with a squinted eyes, "I've been used to it all my life!" As he said, he smiled halfway, "In the past, when fighting in the army, I was sitting on this thing. It's light and convenient and easy to carry. If I'm anxious, I can even copy it and smash it into the head!"
As he said that, he looked at Xi Yingzhen with a squinted eyes and said disdainfully, "You are old, you don't even sit there!"
Xi Yingzhen sat on the stool, spreading her legs very wide, and her body was slightly hunched.
Hearing this, he said angrily, "Why didn't Master Dao sit on the scene?"
"If you don't know, you thought you were squatting in the pit!" Lan Yu curled her lips.
"You..." Xi Yingzhen was angry and looked at the snoring old man, "Lan Xiaoer, you are not like this to Master Dao in your nephew's house. You are always polite. Why do you get so angry when you get here, and you are full of thorns and bullying Master Dao?"
Lan Yu was arrogant without anger, "This is Junqian, so there must be rules!" As he said that, he lowered his face and said, "Besides, did you call Lan Xiaoer?"
"Master Lan!" Xi Yingzhen smiled and said with a smile, "Master Er, right?" As he said that, he moved his horse to a few points closer, "Hey, you said, Zhu... what are you planted on the slope field on the old emperor?"
Speaking of this, he looked confused, "Melons are not like melons, beans, and they are not like beans. The crops are as expensive as gold!"
Before Lan Yu could speak, the old man next to him suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hongshu!" As he said that, the old man sat up, and a palace maid behind him put two pillows on the old man's waist. The old man leaned on him and said, "Our eldest grandson sent the Jinyiwei to sea to find the treasures he found on the sea!"
"It tastes sweet and a bit like taro, but not that big." The old man smiled, with a little smug look on his face, "This thing is not picky about the land and is not afraid of drought. It can grow by burying it in the soil. A mu of land can produce dozens of stones!"
The pioneer Xi Yingzhen didn't care yet, but was shocked when he heard the yield per mu of dozens of stones. He stood up and even brought down his horse stool.
"Take it seriously?" Xi Yingzhen said anxiously.
"A shocked!" The old man glanced at him, "The merchant who offered this thing was confident that he could speak.
, yields dozens of stones per mu. Humph, how many heads he has dared to fool us?" As he said, he said, "This thing was originally called sweet potato, which was said by our grandson. If this thing is promoted to the world, then the people of the world will have more food to fill our stomachs, and put gold on our faces, and name it Hongshu!"
"We've eaten this thing, it tastes good, and it's sweet and full!"
Speaking of this, the old man sighed slightly, "We are looking forward to this bumper harvest of potatoes now, and then promote it earlier. With this thing, countless people can live, and we are not in vain to be the emperor!"
Lan Yu didn't feel anything about this kind of farming, but Xi Yingzhen was so excited that she swayed all over her body.
"The yield per mu is dozens of stones? Isn't it picky?" Xi Yingzhen murmured, "That's really a treasure!" As he said, his wrinkled face was a bit solemn, "There's no good in the world!"
"This is a real auspicious and virtuous rule. I think it is much more than what expands the territory and power. The great achievements of the emperors are mostly caused by the bleeding of the people. In history, the emperor laughed, and never wrote about the people crying. If the people in the world can really have more food, with this, you will be far superior to the Emperor Song Dynasty!"
"If you don't have this thing, we are better than Song Taizu. We bullied the orphans and widows, hum!" The old man snorted disdainfully, "It's not that we are arrogant. Throughout history, those emperors have asked them to touch their consciences. Where can they be better than us?"
Lan Yu also snorted, "Song Taizu? Humph! Civil war, internal and foreign war laymen..."
"Why are they also the founding emperor? Let's say ok, are you worthy of yours?" The old man looked at Lan Yu again.
The latter immediately stopped talking and stopped making a sound.
Xi Yingzhen seemed to hear nothing at the words of the two of them, and just stared at the Potian in her sight.
At this time, the farmers in the farm took their hats and walked into the slope fields and began to be busy.
Suddenly he seemed to understand why the old man was so obsessed with seeing him for a few good autumn harvests.
If this product really produces dozens of stones per mu, breed first and then promote it. After several autumn harvests, there will be another extra ration in the world.
Even if he had more food, the people would have less hunger. He traveled all over his life, and had seen poor people in barren lands drowning their daughters when they gave birth to them, and also saw elderly people in many places who entered the cave and grave alone in the years of famine.
"Some emperors want to live a few more years, but they are reluctant to give up the glory and wealth of the world, and even more so they are in power. But he wants to live a few more years, but he just wants to see the people's autumn harvest and give them another part of the people! He wants to see the people in the world, the day they are full!"
Thinking of this, Xi Yingzhen couldn't help but bow to the old man solemnly.
The sudden gift surprised the old man slightly, "What are you doing for me, you old madman?"
Xi Yingzhen kowtowed three times, "I only know today why Li Shanchang and others were wholeheartedly assisting you! I only know today that the world is full of chaos and heroes, why are you from the lowest background and able to capture the world!"
The old man was immediately furious. He could make himself laugh at his low profile, and he could recognize his low profile to the people in the world, but this matter was not tolerated by others. Moreover, Xi Yingzhen mentioned Li Shanchang and others who were executed by him in front of him, which made him even more angry.
But the next second, the old man's anger disappeared in an instant.
Xi Yingzhen kowtowed again, "The true king cares about the people and has great kindness in his heart! Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, the great wisdom will win the hearts of the people, and Your Majesty will win the hearts of the people!"
"It's amazing!" the old man smiled, "Ivory is coming out of the dog's mouth!"
Xi Yingzhen suddenly pulled Lan Yu and said, "Go!"
"What are you doing? It's hot outside!"
"It's not hot to work!" Xi Yingzhen said without hesitation and said, "Master Dao tells you, Lan Xiaoer, don't look at your great military achievements in your life, it's a big deal to compare with sweet potatoes! Tell you that it's your blessing to be able to work in this sweet potato field, you can blow it away!"
"As long as the country is strong and strong, it is enough to be a martial artist! The merit of letting the people have more food, no matter how much Huo Qubing's group Dingyuan's horse shooting game can catch up!"
Looking at the two old men with half-white hair and walking away while silence, the old man smiled and waved to the side.
Park Bucheng came over silently, "Your Majesty, I am here!"
"Do you know why we asked Taoist Xi to come here?" the old man whispered.
"I know!"
The old man was like a mirror in his heart. His time might have been only one or two years. He really looked down on the quack doctors in the palace. Staying Xi Yingzhen by his side can be considered as a backup plan.
"If one day, we will leave suddenly!" The old man sighed slightly, "Don't make things difficult for him, as long as he does his best! If he can't cure his illness, life will be determined by heaven!" At this point, he sighed again, "Don't make things difficult for him, let him go, go wherever he loves?"
