Emperor Hongzhi held the document in his hand, and his eyes showed a fierce gaze.

Liu Jin knelt on the ground and cried and howled: "The slave and maid are wronged." ”

Yan Chengjin was sure in his heart, no matter how he quibbled, it would be useless.

The text is in the hands of His Majesty,

"Your Majesty, this document is fake, and it was written by a slave maid who spent money to find a big cannibal...... The king of the Great Food Country...... How can you meet the slave and the maid?

Your Majesty can find the civil officials of Hanyuan to take a look, if the term expires, the slave and maid will not die well. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said: "Han Yuan may not know the words of the big food, Yan Qingjia, what do you think?" ”

"There are a lot of merchants in the capital, but since this document was created by Liu Jin, he must know what is written, so he can let him write it down, and he will know it when the time comes." Yan Chengjin said.

Liu Jin trembled and wrote on the paper.

Half an hour later, Jin Yiwei found a big cannibal, and the big cannibal looked at Wen Mu and wrote a few words.

Emperor Hongzhi had a strange face, and compared with what the two wrote, it was almost the same sentence:

My name is Liu Jin, I am the brave eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, and I came from the Eastern Ming Dynasty to find potatoes in the country of Franco.

Liu Jin complained bitterly: "Your Majesty, do you believe in slaves and maids at this time?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face: "Although there is no document to deceive the Great Food Country, but forging the document is also an unforgivable crime, and the prince is called to come to the Huagai Palace." ”

Yan Chengjin looked at the two booklets, Liu Jin and the big food merchant wrote down separately before and after, it should be true.

Liu Jin was paralyzed in the past, and now only the prince can save his life, His Majesty is a generous person, so he will not worry about a slave and maid with him.

Although forging documents is a big crime, compared with Wang Zhi's actions in the previous dynasty, this is simply a good thing to save people's lives and create a seventh-level floating slaughter.

It's a big deal, and it's distributed to Xiaoling to grow vegetables.

Grow vegetables, plant vegetables, it's better than losing your life, one day His Royal Highness becomes the emperor, think of him, and call him back to the palace.

"The son-in-law is kind, I have seen my father!" Zhu Houzhao didn't know why, so he threw an inquiring look at Yan Chengjin: Lao Gao, have you betrayed the palace again?

The person who betrayed His Royal Highness was Liu Jin, and Yan Chengjin cast his gaze at Liu Jin.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pale, as angry as he was when he saw Zhu Houzhao in the past, and his voice was so cold that it was terrifying: "You asked Liu Jin to go to the country of Francoji to look for potatoes?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's expression obviously collapsed, and he lowered his head slightly in a panic.

Emperor Hongzhi knew at a glance that this fact was hammered.

The hall was quiet, and no one dared to take Emperor Hongji's words.

"It's Lao Gao's idea......" Zhu Houzhao muttered.

It's not once or twice, Yan Chengjin knew that this product would betray him: "Your Highness, don't think it, if it is the minister's idea, the minister will recognize it." ”

"Father, the son wants to strangle him......"

Liu Jin was ecstatic in his heart, strangled to death, this Yan Chengjin is a scourge!

"Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't want to go to the country of Franco, and serving His Highness in the palace is a thousand times better than going into exile.

His Royal Highness is right, the slave maid ran out of the palace because of what Lord Yan said.

You don't know, the slave is bitter, she was robbed by horse bandits when she got out of the customs, and she was chased by wolves, biting on the slave's pants, and scared the slave to death... If it weren't for the thought in my heart that I would still serve His Highness, the slave would have died in the Western Regions. ”

Xiao Jing sighed, this Liu Jin's life is really hard, he can come back alive, I heard Liu Jin say before, he was emasculated into the palace, he didn't believe it at the beginning, but now he finally believes it.

Mu Bin was fascinated by what he heard, Liu Jin didn't know how to work hard, he broke through the horse thief, went to the Western Regions alive, and came back alive, but he was going to be imprisoned by the imperial court, stupid boy, it was better to die outside.

The little eunuch and palace maid standing guard in the main hall couldn't help but look sideways slightly and looked at Liu Jin curiously.

Emperor Hongzhi stiffened his face, and his voice was a few degrees lower: "What is this potato?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's the rice of the Francos." Yan Chengjin said vigorously: "It is more delicious than corn, it can be used as a staple food, and it can be planted in the dry soil in the north, it does not occupy farmland, and one acre of land can produce four stones." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's whole person was excited, his beard trembled slightly, and he muttered to himself: "It's better than corn, four stones per acre?" If it is planted in Daming, wouldn't it be another staple food. ”

There are few paddy fields in Daming, and when a major flood occurs, thousands of acres of paddy fields will be submerged.

Today, he had just reviewed the Shuntian Mansion's recital, and the 26 prefectures under the Shuntian Mansion and the Zhili Prefecture were all flooded.

Exemption from taxes for one year.

The benefits of planting in dryland, which are high and cannot be flooded.

There are more dry lands in the Ming Dynasty than paddy fields, and the territory is vast, and this Franco rice is simply an artifact!

"Yan Qing's family, is there really such a thing in this world?"

Yan Chengjin understood Emperor Hongzhi's urgent thoughts very well.

In winter, it was very cold, and there was nothing to eat in the fields, so some people ate a bowl of porridge, which was a day's ration.

All he can do now is draw a cake for Emperor Hongzhi.

Potatoes and other things were not directly transmitted to the Ming Dynasty, but merchants planted them from west to east, and after planting in many countries, they finally entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes naturally, I'm afraid it will take 60 years.

"Liu Jin didn't get the potatoes back, but he brought back the peppers." Yan Chengjin said truthfully.

"Is it too much of a staple?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Chili pepper as a staple?

Later generations also have this way of eating, but they are all not worthy of the series to see.

"This thing tastes similar to garlic, it can only be used as a condiment, not directly tasted, the minister tried to plant some in the house, and if it is ripe, it will be sent to the palace." Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little surprised, Yan Chengjin had such a deep study of the things of the Franco.

"How did the Yan Qing family know about these?"

Mu Bin and Xiao Jing also felt strange, there seemed to be nothing in the world that Yan Chengjin didn't know.

As big as Hainan Island, as small as the peppers of the Furlong machine.

Yan Chengjin's face did not change: "The minister asked the big cannibal who sold corn, so he knows a thing or two about things such as peppers and potatoes." ”

Xiao Jing interceded for Liu Jin: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin went to the country of Franco, but he couldn't help himself, and now he brought back the chili pepper, after all, he is a slave selected by the slave maid from the inner academy, and I hope that Your Majesty will spare him a dog's life." ”

Speaking of which, the crown prince and Yan Chengjin should be blamed, Liu Jin was just forced to go to the country of Franco, Xiao Jing said it vaguely, how could Emperor Hongzhi not know.

"Father, the son knows that he is wrong."

Emperor Hongzhi was almost immune to this sentence, and ordered: "It is also considered merit to bring back the chili pepper, but it is a big crime to connive at the prince's nonsense, not to report to me, to pretend to be the identity of the Ming envoy, and to steal the inscription of the butterfly, this is a big crime, drag it out, and the court will fight for fifty!" ”

Xiao Jing's face was shocked, thirty sticks of court battle is the limit of a person, every time you hit one more stick, it is possible to kill someone, and if you hit fifty sticks, you can see the bones, and the imperial doctor may not be able to cure it.

Mu Bin was secretly frightened, this punishment was comparable to three thousand Ling Chi, and he was slowly executed, and many civil officials survived the court staff, but died in a few days.

The flesh of the strand was knocked off, and it could not be saved.

"Father is going to kill Liu Banban?" Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

Liu Jin was happy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Highness, rest assured, the slave and maid can't die." ”

Yan Chengjin's face twitched slightly, if Liu Jin could survive, he would give him a word for free: Xiaoqiang.

Liu Jin was dragged to the Guangting outside the hall, and Jinyiwei was responsible for the execution.

The Jinyi guards often interrogated prisoners, and their boards were heavier than those of the eunuchs in the palace.

Zhu Houzhao raised his head in shame and asked honestly: "How does my father punish his sons?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi swept his gaze faintly and said, "Let's beat you on the big board." ”

"What about Lao Gao?" Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "It was Lao Gao's idea for his son." ”

Yan Chengjin was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to be so persistent in sharing difficulties.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "Take the prince down for execution first, I have something to say to Yan Qing's family." ”

After Zhu Houzhao went out, he asked with a stiff face: "Yan Qing's family, what else do you know in the West?" ”
