Chapter 122:

Hearing Liu Jian's sudden mention of the prince's planting of melons in Zhan Shifu, Emperor Hongzhi was suddenly angry again.

What melons are the princes still growing? This ruined thing, I thought he was messing around for a while, and then it would be enough to stop!

These days, the state affairs are busy, and Emperor Hongzhi has neglected Zhan Shifu, and now Liu Jian is asking about this, isn't it that the matter of Zhan Shifu planting melons has been spread?

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "This rebel! It's so stubborn, he can't listen to a word of what I say, see how I clean him up. ”

Liu Jian took a deep breath and glanced at Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, and then, this breath came out, and then he said aloud: "Your Majesty, melon ......... It's been planted. ”

Melon...... Already...... Planted!

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to reprimand a few more words, Zhu Houzhao was really disappointed at some times, and he was not too young, and in two years, he should be married, but he was still so confused.

It's just that when he heard that the melon had been planted, his face changed, he looked incredulous, and he thought it was a joke.

Liu Jian naturally saw Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts, so he said: "Your Majesty, this melon, the minister has tasted it himself, it is very sweet, the flesh is luscious, the minister is wondering, whether this melon is grown in the Zhan Mansion." ”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but tremble, and his mouth trembled a little.

The solemnity of the previous Ninety-Five Venerable was completely replaced by this sudden astonishment, and he couldn't help but say: "Isn't the Qing family joking?" How can you grow melons in winter? ”

He remembered that because of this reason, Zhu Houzhao was beaten severely.

"The minister originally never believed it, but the minister has already tasted the melon, and the present is true." Now this melon is still in Liu Jian's stomach.

Emperor Hongzhi had a very strange expression: "This ...... This...... Could it be a demon law? ”

"The minister is also very puzzled, but he just thinks that this matter is very important." Liu Jian glanced at Emperor Hongzhi deeply, and then continued word by word: "If it weren't for the demon law, you can grow melons, then ...... Your Majesty, this matter is about the community. ”

Jiangshan Sheji......

There is a basis for this, why?

If we can grow melons and fruits, and even grow grain in winter, it will be a terrible thing.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a flash, and his eyes full of doubts and shock suddenly revealed a different kind of brilliance.

The expression on his face gradually became solemn, and he couldn't help but say: "Immediately summon the crown prince and Fang Jifan to meet him, quickly, quickly!" ”

The warm pavilion has been shaken, and the monarchs and ministers in the pavilion are all anxious and uneasy, but with indescribable expectations.

Is that really a melon grown? Really?

Countless questions came to mind.

Emperor Hongzhi looked very anxious, he paced back and forth in the warm pavilion with his hands behind his back, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but subconsciously say: "Aiqing, do you think it's possible?" I mean, will it ......?"

Speaking of this, he saw the stunned faces of Liu Jian and the others, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, yes, what is the use of asking them, I guess even they don't know anything about it.

Finally, under everyone's anxious waiting, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were late.

It's just that today, Zhu Houzhao is no longer aggrieved.

His face was full of red light, and he even looked a little arrogant, Fang Jifan probably knew in his heart that once this melon appeared, it would inevitably attract the attention of the palace, but he never expected that the palace would react so quickly.

As soon as he saw the two of them coming, Emperor Hongzhi split his head and covered his face and said, "What about the melon?" ”

He obviously couldn't believe this, and before he saw the watermelon with his own eyes, Emperor Hongzhi still had doubts.

After all...... It's incredible.

Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation: "Back to my father, there is another melon." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up: "Take it, I will take a look." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled, the last time he was hung on a tree and beaten half to death, he still has palpitations: "What about the silver?" ”

These three words are really bold.

Emperor Hongzhi's face instantly became gloomy: "You ......"

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao is confident today, and said confidently: "This is planted with hard work, and the sons have spent countless efforts, how can the father take it without asking, the sons have prepared the melons, and the father will give three thousand taels of silver, and the sons will definitely offer the melons." ”

“……”

At this time, Fang Jifan was shocked, others only sold ten taels, and his own father sold three thousand taels? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... What a talent, this ...... It's a great inspiration for myself......

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was immediately furious: "Zhu Houzhao, you are so bold." ”

The pain was not in vain, Zhu Houzhao still remembered the grudge, and knelt down directly and said: "If the father wants to punish the son, the son is willing to accept it." ”

"......" At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi's old face turned red directly.

This is definitely a mockery, just two months ago, because of this kind of melon matter, he beat Zhu Houzhao all over his body, this guy, I think he was not convinced, and now the old thing is brought up again, and he keeps saying that he is willing to accept punishment, doesn't this show that he is poking my backbone?

Is it because people have planted melons and beaten again?

At the moment, Emperor Hongzhi was anxious to see it for granted, and finally had to say: "Okay, I will give you silver, and you will take the melon first." ”

Zhu Houzhao is terrifyingly stubborn in some aspects, and I saw him say righteously: "Give the silver first." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's old face was a little tense, and he wanted to get angry, but he didn't know where the fire came from, so he had to be patient and glanced at the eunuchs on the side.

So the eunuch hurriedly went to get a pile of Daming treasure banknotes, counted them and handed them over to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao accepted the money, he was very straightforward and happy, and even his face was so excited that his face was red, and he ...... for a long time I've never been so happy.

After getting the treasure banknote, Zhu Houzhao said: "Liu Jin, the companion of the son, waited outside the noon gate with the melon, and the father ordered someone to get it." ”

Three thousand taels of silver, for the thrifty Emperor Hongzhi, it is still painful, if it were not for the urgency to see this melon, and this melon is very important, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely not compromise.

Right now...... Since the watermelon was about to arrive, he became even more excited, pacing back and forth, looking very agitated.

But after only a while, there were hurried footsteps outside, and someone walked in with a watermelon, and Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and came...... So fast? It's only been a moment, I'm afraid that the eunuch who went to get the melon didn't even arrive at the Jinshui River, how could he go and return?

Moreover, the eunuch who came was obviously not the person on duty in the warm pavilion, this person looked a little familiar, and it was actually from the Kunning Palace.

The eunuch held a melon and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent two watermelons into the palace, one for the Queen Mother, and the other for the Queen Mother. ”

As he spoke, he lifted a watermelon in the air.

"......" Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face, staring at the eunuch with his eyes, and he was speechless for a long time.

I saw a flash of light in his eyes, and he looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao shuddered involuntarily, and then quickly stuffed the treasure money into his sleeve, with a sense of money and goods and no refund.

Fang Jifan also turned his face away, as if the development direction of the story was a little different from what he expected.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't laugh or cry, but he still took a deep breath and quickly focused on the watermelon.

He stepped forward and walked two steps, in front of the eunuch, and held the watermelon in his hand, this is the melon produced by the 'Champion Hou', which is bigger than the melon grown from other melon vines, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and after carefully observing the melon, the brilliance in his eyes suddenly became dazzling: "Is it really planted?" Did it really come out? ”

Maybe for Zhu Houzhao, planting melons is a game, but for Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, what is related is the social problem of agriculture.

"This is planted by Fang Jifan, right?" Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Fang Jifan's body.

He remembered that when he beat the prince, the prince desperately said that this was the melon that Fang Jifan planted with him, and at that time, Emperor Hongzhi didn't believe it.

Fang Jifan is a person who educates tribute students, how can he mess around with you, a loser. You loser, most likely you want to find Fang Jifan to apologize for you.

But now, the situation is different, since this melon has been planted, so in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi now, Zhu Houzhao did not lie at the beginning, this melon was planted by Fang Jifan, and there is nothing wrong.

Fang Jifan said: "It was planted by the minister and the prince together, and His Royal Highness the prince forgot to sleep and eat in order to take care of these melons, and he didn't think about tea and rice. ”

Zhu Houzhao originally heard his father's words, this is the melon planted by Fang Jifan. Suddenly there was a feeling that he had been beaten in vain, but fortunately, Fang Jifan eased his cheeks, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

But he saw Emperor Hongzhi glaring and said, "Where does the prince know how to grow melons?" He wanted to keep asking.

But after thinking about it carefully, he dispelled the idea, because Emperor Hongzhi was more concerned about: "Can the method of planting be extended?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "Yes! ”

After receiving the answer of these two words, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly seemed ecstatic.

After the occurrence of abnormal celestial phenomena, the cold weather in the north will last for at least five months, nearly half a year, half a year, countless fields are barren there, supported by the money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but the increasing number of displaced people is a big trouble for the imperial court.

And now...... Fang Jifan's method of planting melons in winter can greatly alleviate the disaster?

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan deadly, his voice trembled a little, and he took a deep breath before he said, "Then...... I ask you again, what else can you grow besides growing melons? ”

Fang Jifan said: "Most of them can be planted, but ...... However, it is still necessary to build a test field in Xishan for trial planting. ”

"How much does it cost?" Emperor Hongzhi squinted, after all, he was not a person who did not eat minced meat, and soon realized that the key to the problem was cost.

……

A new day, a new chapter, a diligent tiger, day and night, give the melons he grows to everyone, friends who eat melons, can you support it?
