"Cai Cong! Why haven't you seen him since then? Li Chengqian, who was at the forefront of the team, asked curiously, even if he kept a low profile in order not to steal his limelight, but this was too low-key, and he might be impeached if he turned back.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Marquis of Chang'an has been on the boat, the slave maid just went to invite him, he said that he was not free, and the slave maid saw him sweeping the cracks of the ship with a broom."

Li Chengqian's chamberlain said a little angrily, the dignified marquis ran to clean the ship at this time, and those who didn't know it thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suppressing him!

"Go back, go back at once."

Li Chengqian knows Cai Cong too well, this guy is lazy, even if a gold ingot is stuck in a gap, he won't pick it up, and now he is sweeping the ship with a broom, he must have found something terrible.

Li Chengqian ran back, and the others didn't know so they could only chase Li Chengqian, and only the people were confused and felt very lively.

"Brother Cai, what are you doing?" Li Chengqian ran to the boat out of breath and saw Cai Cong holding bamboo strips in the gap in the cabin, and hurriedly leaned over and asked.

Cai Cong pushed him away, held up the golden corn kernels and a red-skinned sweet potato in his hand to Xu Yuan, and asked excitedly, "Get rich, get rich!" Hahaha...... How many of these crops did you bring back? ”

"Back to Master Hou, there are not many of these two things, we brought back a lot of things that I don't know if we can eat, these two are more peculiar so I am more impressed, the same should be ten catties!"

Xu Yuanyuan said with numb skin, he felt that he might have brought less, and he didn't know if Hou Ye would blame himself.

"Haha...... Haha......"

Hearing that there were more than ten catties, Cai Cong looked up to the sky excitedly and laughed, Li Chengqian also looked at his palm excitedly and asked cautiously, "Cai Cong, is this the kind of grain you said in the hall?" ”

Cai Cong raised the sweet potato in his hand high and said, "That's it, the yield per mu is 10,000 catties, 50 quintals." ”

Li Chengqian felt that he was about to suffocate, his head was blank, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet, so he hurriedly reached out and pressed it on Xu Yuan's shoulder, took a deep breath and shouted, "Chuan Gu's order, immediately send five hundred heavy soldiers to protect these ten catties of grain." Xu Yuan has done a good job, you have made a great contribution again. ”

"And this corn should also be carefully protected, this is delicious, but the yield is a little low, only more than 1,000 catties per acre."

Cai Cong looked at the corn kernels in his hand and said with some regret, which of those hybrid corns in later generations didn't yield thousands of catties per mu?

Li Chengqian and his entourage felt that they were about to faint, which is also embarrassing? Last year, there was an acre of land in Luoyang with a yield of 600 catties of wheat per mu, and he was happy to give a decree to commend it, and now it is said that the yield of 1,000 catties per mu is a bit low, what is the matter with this world?

"Lone fainted a little, and helped Lone to the deck to breathe." The huge surprise made it difficult for Li Chengqian to breathe, and he hurriedly asked people to help him out. Cai Cong put the seeds into a small Nanmu box and handed it to Da Niu, who carefully held the box, as if he was holding a newborn baby. Vigilantly look at everyone, and see that everyone looks like a thief.

Hou Junji and his entourage couldn't say anything shocked, what these two young people brought in front of them would make Datang suffer a change that had not been seen in a thousand years, are the young people now so terrible?

Thinking of this, he looked at Ma Zhou on his side again, this young man also managed to control Yangzhou officialdom in the palm of his hand in a short time, and he also had a great friendship with Yan Tong, and he could intervene in the affairs of the sea.

"This is great joy, this is auspicious God bless my Datang. Chuangu ordered to immediately prepare the ship to set off for Chang'an, Yangzhou Daqing for three days, and couldn't help sleeping! ”

"Obey."

Li Chengqian said excitedly, Cai Cong smiled slightly and shouted loudly, "Minister ~ Chang'an Marquis Cai Cong congratulates His Royal Highness the Prince on the rare grain varieties he is looking for, and I will have no worries about hunger in Datang in the future, and the ministers will congratulate the Tang Dynasty and the people!" ”

The boat was on the dock, Cai Cong's voice was hoarse, how could the people on the dock not hear it? For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

"Didn't you say one? How did it become three? ”

"I noticed just now, as soon as the ship came, Master Hou went to board the ship to check, I think I was not sure before, so I said one!"

"The world is blessed, but I don't know what about the other two kinds of production? If it's too low, it's a chicken rib. ”

The common people were confused, and the scholars expressed their opinions, but the joy was overflowing, and it was always a good thing to have more grains.

Hou Junji and others shouted in their hearts that Cai Cong was shameless, and actually slapped Li Chengqian's ass in public, but the movements were not slow at all, and they all bowed down to congratulate.

"Okay, good, this is God's blessing to the Tang Dynasty, not the credit of loneliness. Yangzhou should not play this matter to the capital, and I want to surprise my father. ”

Li Chengqian said with a red face, Ma Zhou and Hou Junji's faces were a little ugly, although they had no credit, but they were always a little hard after being busy, and the prince was very unkind~

"Your Highness, how can such a major event not be reported? His Majesty ordered hundreds of officials to beat up his ministers in the court a few days ago, and if such news passed through, His Majesty would be in a better mood. The minister thought that it should be jointly played by Yangzhou Thorn Shi and the chief of the water division, so that it was in line with the rules. ”

Cai Cong said with a smile, and the faces of Hou Junji and Ma Zhou became natural. After thinking about it again, the two of them understood Li Chengqian's intentions, Cai Cong gave the prince prestige, and the prince was helping Cai Cong sell the two of them!

Ma Zhou has nothing, but Hou Junji gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, and he can also take out reasonable things to do favors, is this when he is stupid?

Thinking of this, he could no longer maintain a smiling face, and arched his hand to Li Chengqian with a strained face, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there are dragons and snakes in Yangzhou City today, and the minister needs to sit in charge in person, so he will not accompany him, and the minister will retire first." ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left with a black face, a trace of disdain flashed in Ma Zhou's eyes, if such a person didn't take advantage of the troubled times to follow the right master, it would be a problem to be so open-minded and confuse with the county order.

"General Hou's concern for the people is really admirable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's grain is very important, and Yichen sees that we need to set off immediately."

Cai Cong said with a smile, he and Li Chengqian knew Hou Junji's character, and they would not be angry with him at all.

"Sooner rather than later, let's go now! Spur history, there are still a lot of grain seeds planted on the ship, you have to send people to guard day and night, water and fertilize in the morning and evening, and when the time comes, you will send someone to collect it. Remember, you can't afford to lose. Remember! ”

Li Chengqian said solemnly to Ma Zhou, who hurriedly said yes, and hurriedly ordered to send 500 soldiers to the dock before accompanying the prince into the city.

Hunting in the windy on the canal, Xu Yuan's fists were white, this man who kept killing was full of hesitation in his heart at this moment.

As for what reward the emperor would give him, he couldn't think about it now, and the closer he got to Chang'an, the more uneasy he became. He didn't know how to deal with his parents and children, he didn't know how to deal with his deceased wife, and he didn't know how to deal with his own brother.
