Chapter 270: Xu Xiake Returns

After a brief discussion, Yu Zhiqian divided the tasks one by one.

If you want to emigrate, you need to plan the urban area, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for building cities and paving roads, and the Ministry of Household is responsible for logistics and grain transportation.

But the good news is not just one, Di Renjie and the others have just left, and an unkempt and beggar-like person was brought into the council hall by a guard.

"Minister, Xu Xiake greets Your Majesty!"

Xu Xiake, this name Yu Zhiqian is about to forget, the last time I saw him, he was still the prince of the East Palace, and now he has been the emperor for more than a year.

"Xu Aiqing, are you back?"

Yu Zhiqian looked at Xu Xiake who was kneeling below, he didn't even wear shoes, he ran down directly, and helped Xu Xiake up, not Yu Zhiqian was a show, but really surprised, at the beginning when Xu Xiake and the others left, Yu Zhiqian kept sending people to inquire about the news, but as time went on, there was no news at the last point, Yu Zhiqian felt that Xu Xiake and others had encountered an accident, but he didn't expect Xu Xiake to come back!

"Your Majesty, the minister is back!"

After being helped up by Yu Zhiqian, Xu Xiake's face was full of tears, and he looked at Yu Zhiqian: "Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have found the American continent you said and brought back what you wanted!" ”

"Don't worry, you say slowly, come on, give me a seat, and prepare dinner!"

"Whoa!"

Yu Zhiqian sat on the chair next to Xu Xiake, looking at Xu Xiake, to be honest, Yu Zhiqian couldn't recognize the person in front of him as Xu Xiake, and Xu Xiake nearly two years ago, they were completely two people, Xu Xiake at that time didn't say that he was better than Pan An, but at least he was a beautiful man, but now his face was wrinkled, his skin was dark, and there were scars left by chilblains, and his hair was like a mess......

"Your Majesty, the ministers followed the route that Your Majesty said, all the way to the north, farther and farther, and then entered a boundless snowfield, the wind and snow in the sky, all day long, if it wasn't for Your Majesty you taught us to build a snow house, our group may stay in that land forever!"

"Later, we saw the snow-white white bear that His Majesty had spoken of, and began to look for a way to cross this strait along the seashore......"

"I don't know how many days, the sun never sets, we crossed the strait, and entered another snowfield, but we can be sure that we crossed that sea, so we began to go south, and the further south we went, the hotter it became, and then we found something that His Majesty said!"

"The minister was originally going to continue exploring, but the people accompanying us kept falling ill, so the minister had to return early, some of the things that His Majesty had explained, some of them had been found, and the minister had brought them back, and the rest of the things, the minister was going to get up and go to that continent to find after a while!"

Xu Xiake said for three hours, Yu Zhiqian also listened silently for three hours, and did not interject in the middle, just listening, although Xu Xiake said very easily, but Yu Zhiqian knew the difficulties and obstacles.

From the northeast across the Heilongjiang River, into Siberia to the Arctic Circle, and then across the Bering Strait, into the American continent, and back again, the whole process sounds like listening to the book of heaven, even if few people in the future can complete it, but Xu Xiake and others took a year and nine months to complete this impossible task!

"Your Majesty, the dog sleds you prepared for this trip have also helped a lot, if there were no dog sleds, we would definitely not be able to walk the American continent, on the snow, the dogs are much faster than we walk, and ......"

"Xu Aiqing, eat first, eat enough, have a good rest, tomorrow the court meeting, you tell the minister of the DPRK and the central government what you have seen and heard this time!"

Yu Zhiqian looked at Xu Xiake, who was gobbling up, and said with a smile, Yu Zhiqian admires people like Xu Xiake, because with the existence of such people, this nation can be passed on endlessly.

After Xu Xiake received Yu Zhiqian's order, after knowing that this matter was related to the future of the nation, he agreed to this errand without hesitation.

"Stay in the palace today, and let the three divine doctors show you your body later, don't refuse, your body is very important, you alone can reach ten thousand armies!"

Xu Xiake just excused himself, but after hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, he choked up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is loved, and the minister can't repay it!" ”

"Xu Aiqing, thank you for the people of the world!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian bowed to Xu Xiake, Xu Xiake may not understand why Yu Zhiqian is like this, but Yu Zhiqian knows very well in his heart that Xu Xiake's merits are comparable to Shennong, after the discovery of the American continent, all kinds of plants in the Americas will be constantly brought back to the Central Plains, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, are all high-yield crops, in addition, peppers and other things are some Yu Zhiqian needs, but the most important thing is rubber, once the rubber is brought back, it is a qualitative leap for the Yu Tang Empire!

In addition, the land of South America has inexhaustible resources, and once it begins to be developed, it can continue to nourish the Central Plains Empire like a back garden.

All this should be attributed to Xu Xiake's discovery of the New World!

After Xu Xiake was sent to rest, Yu Zhiqian opened the box presented by Xu Xiake, and the first thing that caught his eye was corn, five corns were placed in the box, Yu Zhiqian gently picked up the corn, corn, he wanted to drink corn porridge many times, but the Yu Tang Empire did not have corn, and now he can finally make up for his regret.

There is a chili pepper next to the corn, a red chili, but it has dried, Yu Zhiqian doesn't know how to plant the chili pepper, but it should be planted through chili seeds, and now there are chili peppers, and it will not be far from the success of chili planting.

Below Yu Zhiqian also saw potatoes, this thing is also something that the Yu Tang Empire needs more, among the land of the Yu Tang Empire, part of the land is relatively barren, and it will even lose money when planting wheat and other crops, but after having potatoes and potatoes, these lands can be used.

In the end, Yu Zhiqian looked at a few branches, if nothing else, it should be the rubber tree branch he dreamed of,
