In the capital, the hot summer has arrived, and Liu Jin looks listless.

"I still like autumn here~"

Lying on his old chair, Liu Jin was drowsy.

Recently, Emperor Hongzhi may have discovered his conscience, knowing that he was indeed busy with a lot of things this year, and he was quite tired, so Liu Jin was very leisurely during this period of time, and there was nothing to do.

"Master~"

This is Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen walking in with smiles on their faces.

Since Xu Wan'er gave birth to a son for Liu Jin, Liu Jin has also changed from the original young master to the master.

Well, it's upgraded, and the status is different.

"Where's the son?"

Looking at Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen, who didn't see their baby son, Liu Jin hurriedly asked.

"I'm sleeping~"

"Just now when I was passing by the back garden, I saw that the pepper was already red, can I pick some fresh peppers and taste it?"

Li Zhen looked at Liu Jin and said with a smile.

"Chili red?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

Counting the time, it's already June now, and this pepper is indeed long overdue for flowering and fruiting.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and take a look, pick some fresh peppers to taste, I tell you, this pepper, it's a good thing, it can drive away cold and dampness, and it can also refresh and appetize."

Liu Jin walked towards the back garden, and also said to Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen.

"It's just too spicy."

Xu Wan'er couldn't help laughing when she saw Liu Jin's energetic appearance.

"The spicier the better, and if you eat it a few times, you will be addicted."

Liu Jin doesn't care, before he crossed over, Liu Jin was the king of chili peppers, the kind that couldn't eat without chili peppers.

Soon, everyone came to the back garden.

Here, Liu Jin carved out an area to grow peppers, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes and other crops brought back from the Golden Continent.

At this time, the growth of these crops is very gratifying.

There are already a lot of sweet potato vines, and the leaves are luxuriant, and Liu Jin asked his subordinates to cut off a lot.

The pepper tree is also very tall, with small white flowers blooming on it, and there are also green and red peppers growing out of it.

The same is true of the tomato tree, which is full of tomatoes, some of which are green, and some of which are almost ripe and gradually turning red.

"Blessed with a mouth, this tomato is red, it is very good to use in soup, and it is also the perfect match with fried eggs."

Liu Jin looked at the tomatoes and peppers, and the whole person immediately began to get busy.

"These chili peppers, if they are red, they will be spicy, and it is better to pick them when they are still green, and they will stir-fry the meat with a chili, which is absolutely delicious."

While picking chili peppers, Liu Jin also said with a smile.

"Xianggong, let the next person pick it."

Xu Wan'er looked at Liu Jin's appearance and said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm so idle at home these days, just find some time to do it."

Liu Jin said indifferently.

Soon, Liu Jin picked a full slap of peppers, and more than a dozen tomatoes.

"Wait a minute, tell the kitchen here, use this pepper to stir-fry meat, stir-fry beef, pork belly, this tomato is used to make soup, add some eggs to it."

"It's a pity, peanuts can't be pulled up until autumn, otherwise if you copy some peanuts and have some wine, it will definitely be a great enjoyment of life."

While busy working, Liu Jin also said to the subordinates around him.

"Yes, sir~"

The subordinates hurriedly remembered Liu Jin's instructions.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu~"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao's voice sounded, and before the person arrived, the voice had already come.

"Put it away, put it away~"

"Hurry up and put it away, do it at night, do it at night, otherwise it won't be enough for him to eat alone."

When Liu Jin heard this, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to put away the peppers and tomatoes.

"Haha, Lao Liu, Lao Liu, can't you be doing anything bad in the daytime, right?"

Soon, Zhu Houzhao walked over and said with a smile on his face.

"Ahem, Your Highness, you are the crown prince, you should pay attention to your image."

Liu Jin was speechless for a moment, this Zhu Houzhao is really taboo-free.

"These are the crops you brought back from the Golden Continent?"

Zhu Houzhao's small eyes swept around, and he soon found these Golden Continent crops planted by Liu Jin in the back garden.

"Right~"

Liu Jin nodded and said.

"This is a pepper, this is a tomato, this is a peanut, this is a sweet potato, this is a potato, this is corn~"

Liu Jin introduced Zhu Houzhao one by one.

"Get some chili peppers to eat, the food in the barracks is about to vomit."

Seeing the chili pepper, Zhu Houzhao's eyes began to glow.

This product took the best chili sauce from Liu Jin last winter, and I never forgot the taste of chili peppers.

"It's not easy to eat chili peppers, it is estimated that these chili peppers will be listed on a large scale, and His Royal Highness will eat them wherever he wants."

When Liu Jin heard this, he hurriedly said.

For the crops brought back from the Golden Continent last year, Liu Jin also set up a Tianjin Agricultural Commercial Bank, and the Tianjin Agricultural Commercial Bank obtained all the crop seeds brought back from the Golden Continent.

Then, under the command of Liu Jin, Tianjin Agricultural Commerce also established special agricultural production areas in the five places of Zhili, Ryukyu, Fujian, Hunan, and Henan in the Ming Dynasty to grow this crop.

The establishment of Tianjin's agricultural business was naturally not for the purpose of making money, but mainly for the purpose of cultivating improved seeds, vigorously promoting high-yield improved seeds, and also researching new agricultural planting techniques.

Since ancient times, people have been able to talk about other things only on the basis of having a full stomach.

"Great, go, go, I can't wait, let's go and see."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and he didn't care about the hot sun, so he pulled Liu Jin and walked outside.

Liu Jin suddenly smiled helplessly with Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen, and the two also expressed their understanding.

It is very important to be able to have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, you've tanned a lot~"

Following Zhu Houzhao outside, Liu Jin couldn't help but look at Zhu Houzhao carefully.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was already very tanned, and the whole person's body also revealed a fierce atmosphere, completely missing the previous milk-white and milk-white little child's feeling, giving people the feeling that they have grown up a lot and are a lot stronger.

"It's not dark, military training every day, basking in the sun, but I like it~"

Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, he liked the life in the military camp, which was more interesting than learning the Four Books and Five Classics with Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Houzhao is among the best in all subjects in the Ming Royal Military Academy, whether it is riding and shooting, fighting, shelling, shooting, bow and arrow, etc., he is very good at it, and his learning ability is very strong.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao rode their horses and went straight to the plantation on the outskirts of the capital.

Tianjin Agricultural Commercial Bank has several plantations in Beizhili, which do not grow wheat, and all of them are used to grow these crops from the Golden Continent.

At this time, many farmers are busy picking peppers, tomatoes and corn in the huge plantations.

"The crop yield of this Golden Continent is high, and the weight of this corn cob is amazing, but I don't know if it tastes good or not."

Mao Qi, the steward of the Tianjin Agricultural Commercial Bank, pulled off a corn cob, weighed it carefully, weighed it, and couldn't help laughing.

"Of course it's delicious, hurry up and have someone cook some corn and taste it."

At this time, Liu Jin's voice was remembered by his side.

When Mao Qi heard this, he hurriedly looked over, saw Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, and hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me, excuse me, hurry up and cook some corn~"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand casually, he had long wanted to taste this corn, the corn he brought back last year was old corn, very hard, not delicious, listen to Liu Jin's consciousness, this corn is only delicious when it is green corn.

"Yes~"

When Moltke heard this, he quickly commanded.

When he came to the field, Liu Jin also hurriedly pulled off a corn cob and observed it carefully.

This corn cob is relatively short, and the corn kernels on it are also irregular, far from being comparable to the corn eaten by later generations.

"It should be a matter of variety, or the variety needs to be continuously improved, the corn of later generations is basically genetically modified corn, with high yield, strong disease resistance, and very good looks."

While watching, it is also a comparison, and Liu Jin also has a rough number in his heart.

The yield of this corn is not high, and the quality is not good-looking, but this corn is a pure natural corn, and it is more delicious than the genetically modified corn of later generations.

"Lao Liu, can the yield of this corn really reach a yield of dozens of stones per mu?"

Zhu Houzhao also pulled off a corn cob, and then carefully looked at the huge corn field in front of him.

"After a while it is all ripe, let's weigh it again, I guess it may not be reached, but the yield is still much higher than that of wheat, the key is corn, it does not need to occupy fertile land."

"It is very cold-tolerant, and can be planted on hillsides and vegetable soil, which can be regarded as a supplementary food."

Liu Jin thought about it and shook his head slightly and said.

"As long as it can increase grain production, supplementary food is also food, and it is a good thing to be able to fill your stomach."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and what he said made Liu Jin couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

This prince, who grew up in the deep palace, after staying in the military camp for a while, was so down-to-earth that he even knew the preciousness of food.

"What Your Highness said is that what can fill your stomach is a good thing."

When Mao Qi on the side heard this, he also hurriedly smiled and said.

Moltke himself came from a poor peasant family, and although he is now the manager of the Tianjin Agricultural Commercial Bank, he still remembers hunger vividly.

"A few years ago, when there was a famine, the bark of the trees was eaten, and if there was such corn at that time, many people would definitely be born and killed."

"Don't worry, we will not be short of food in the future, and we will not be able to eat all the food in the future."

After listening to this, Liu Jin said very confidently.
