You guys, I will be very pleased to be able to share the worries and labors of my father in the future. "
"Yes! The sons and ministers will do their best to share the worries of the father." All the princes got up one after another, and they answered in unison.
Of course, it is impossible for the princes to really wear colorful floral dresses and entertain relatives as funny clowns. Otherwise, if you really say it out, do you still want to be a prince? They were just booing and making the emperor happy. As for sharing the emperor's worries, it would depend on whether the emperor gave them a chance.
Ming Zhen's embarrassment was easily resolved by Ming Tao, and it had to be said that Tao was very good at it. Ming Yu saw everything in his eyes, just laughed and didn't speak.
Ming Yu didn't stand up until the emperor asked him what it was and how he got it.
Of course, he couldn't say that this was firework made from leftover materials when developing firearms and ammunition. I can only say: "This is a firework that I asked the craftsmen to work hard for more than a year. In order to celebrate the birthday of the father, I rushed to make it day and night, just to catch up with the father. Halloween."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, the old fourteen is very filial, I am very pleased."
I don't know how many people were pantomime by this sentence, Ming Yu felt the scorching gaze on her body, but Ming Yu didn't realize it. Then he said: "Father, you know my son, the border town is desolate and barren, it is really a barren land. My son really has nothing to sell, so I can only use my brain to think of some strange and skillful things for my father Have fun."
As soon as the words of showing weakness came out, those sour eyes really retracted a lot, and everyone finally felt more balanced. That's right, what's the deal with such a fool? Look at his fief, barren and poor, what can there be? Or he fought for it himself, haha, now he knows that life is hard
Look at him, life can't go on anymore, and now he personally organizes some kind of caravan to go to the Western Regions for business. For a prince who is doing business and business, it would be embarrassing if he said it. They were envious of how much money Ming Yu earned before, but now they are no longer jealous.
I also heard that Ming Yu sold the caravan to the third prince for money in order to build some kind of Xiqi Corridor, which is short-sighted. With a caravan in hand, he would never know how to drink northwest wind. This way of making money is lost, and he will cry in the future. Seeing that he was looking for people to borrow money in Beijing these days, he really lost his identity, no matter how poor they are, the princes couldn't live worse than Ming Yu.
So Ming Yu originally wanted to endure hardships and cry poorly in front of the emperor in order to gain impression points. However, he inadvertently gained the pity and sympathy of most people, which he himself did not expect.
The emperor was also moved by Ming Yu's words, and just about to blurt out "Reward!", but suddenly remembered that his private treasury had been emptied by Ming Yu earlier, luckily he stopped in time. This old fourteen, I'm afraid he's taken a fancy to the congratulatory gift from the courtiers again today, it's absolutely impossible, if the old fourteen continues to be fooled like this, his fortune 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 did not express anything.
I had to continue: "Although the land is thin and the population is sparse, I don't have much to offer. However, I heard that the watermelon that I paid tribute to last year was very popular with the emperor, and recently I got corn with a high yield in the west. The item is rare, so I specially presented it as a congratulatory gift to my father, I hope my father will like it."
He had told the emperor specifically about the corn when he came back, but he failed to spread it. Today, he specially mentioned it in front of the courtiers, 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 also cooperated very much, "The watermelon presented by the old fourteen last time is really delicious. I like it very much. It's just that this corn, Dayan Wufu Minfeng, has never heard of it. Hurry up and present it to everyone. Look at them all."
Last year's watermelon Mingyu sent people to Beijing, and only the courtiers with high morals were lucky enough to get a taste of it, but the taste is indeed something that people will never forget.
As for the corn, everyone was stunned as to what kind of thing it was, but hearing Ming Yu say it came from the west, it seemed like a good thing. When they come down, they have to inquire and see if there are any more in Duanwang's place. If it is the same as watermelon, they can pay attention to it.
Last year, Duan Wang's people also said that watermelons had just been planted on trial, and the output was not much, only enough to be offered to the emperor. However, this year they will try to plant on a large scale, and they may have succeeded. It seems that they will have to find King Duan to buy some at a high price.
There are only so many things, first come, first served, what the emperor said is good, can't it be good

125. Chapter 125
Ming Yu clapped his hands, someone from the palace had already prepared a tray of watermelon and corn. Everyone looked closely, the watermelon jasper was clear, and the golden yellow called corn was indeed something they had never seen before.
These things are all from the west, and 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 lucky enough to taste the watermelon back then. It was sweet, crunchy and juicy, which suited his appetite. Is the thing called corn offered by Ming Yu today the same as watermelon
"I don't know what this corn is and what is it used for?" Prime Minister Wen asked.
The emperor nodded towards Ming Yu, and the next step is to see how Ming Yu behaves.
Ming Yu had already made preparations and explained the origin of the 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 minds, this is already far out of reach.
Unexpectedly, from what Ming Yu said, there seems to be a place farther away, and the customs there are quite different from those in the Central Plains. One side raises another side's people, and the species they produce are naturally different.
But from this, it can be seen that this thing is not easy to come by, but then again, except Ming Yu, who would spend all day doing nothing to pay attention to the things growing in the ground. If it were them, they would probably dismiss it even if they were right in front of their eyes, right? How could someone make a special trip to collect and exchange for these seeds
"Don't underestimate it. It has a high yield and can be used as a staple food. It is also easy to survive and can be grown in barren and arid land. In this way, many places that cannot grow food can be used. If it is promoted by the government , Corn can be grown all over the country, and in the future the people of Dayan will also have one more grain to support, isn’t this a bad thing?” Ming Yu expressed his thoughts.
Hubu Shangshu was a little unconvinced, "Since this new species has just 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 does he know that this species can adapt to other places?" Climate and soil conditions? You must know that oranges grown in the south are oranges, and oranges grown in the north are trifoliate oranges. All things have spirits, not as simple as the prince said."
Since Ming Yu dared to say that, of course he was confident. Corn has long been popularized in later generations, and there are not many people who grow it. Naturally, he also referred to all aspects of corn in later generations to say this.
Regarding Hubu Shangshu's words, Ming Yu smiled politely, "Of course I dared to push this thing out after doing experiments."
"Experiment? What experiment? Is it possible that the prince can plant this corn in all places in a short period of time? Otherwise, how do you know its regional growth habits?" Zou Chang, the servant of the household department, frowned.
How is this possible? 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 registered land, and the food problem of the people in the world is a major issue related to people's livelihood. Duan Wang, if you want to go into business, no one will stop you, but it's a bit outrageous to dictate the farmers' crops.
Ming Yu pouted, and said impatiently: "Why is this so difficult? This king can make flowers and trees bloom and bear fruit in winter, and also make peach trees bear pears, do you believe it or not?"
Zou Chang thought that Ming Yu was messing around and mocking him, and angrily said, "How can you make such lies!"
Farmers grow crops according to the four seasons of farming. Who in the world does not know that autumn harvests are stored in winter, spring flowers and autumn fruits? What do you mean it blooms and bears fruit in winter? hehe! What an ignorant kid, he thought he could be believed by people talking nonsense? Do you think everyone sitting here is a fool like him
Everyone present laughed at him, what does King Duan know? The four seasons are not clear, and the five grains are not distinguished, so can you expect him to say something serious
Ming Yu was speechless. You haven't seen it, don't believe it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist? Even if I explain it to them, they won't understand, Xia Chong is 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 in the future will I be slapped in the face with the facts.
"Gu believes him!" Crown Prince Ming Ye spoke out in support of Ming Yu.
Then another cold voice sounded, "I also believe in the prince."
Standing in the center of everyone's focus, Ming Yu was not at all annoyed by being ridiculed. He couldn't help laughing when he heard two familiar voices.
One is the crown prince, he has already realized the characteristics of corn after he learned about it from Ming Yu. future such
