Volume 5 Whose Great Cause Chapter 88 Touches
When the group had passed through the city gate, the wagon was suddenly shaken, and a wooden box fell from the carriage, and suddenly the box broke, and out of it came many golden things, about the size of a child's fist, which were large and small, and looked strange.
"Hey, what is this?" The people around couldn't help but watch, and they were amazed at the things that fell from the ground, and the people of the capital promised to be well-informed, but they had never seen such a strange thing.
A person couldn't help but pick one up from the ground, took it in his hand and pinched it, it was soft, and at the same time juice flowed out of it, a faint fragrance came to his nose, the person took it in his hand and looked over and over again, judging from the fragrance, this thing is most likely to be fruit, but he has never seen such a fragrant and attractive fruit, and he wants to bite and is a little worried, between the friction of his hands, the skin of the thing on his hand has been cracked, revealing the delicious flesh, and the fragrance is suddenly stronger.
Smelling the fragrance, the person next to him couldn't help but pick it up from the ground, and their eyes were fixed on the person who picked up the fruit earlier, to see if he bit or not?
"Put it down, this is a tribute, don't move around." A man in his thirties with a dark face in front of him hurriedly stopped the carriage and shouted in shock when he saw the box broken.
"Tribute, really fake?" The person who picked up the fruit looked at the things in his hand suspiciously, but when he saw the master coming, most of them still put down the things, and the people in the capital were rich at this time, and most people disdained to take advantage of it. The emperor's land and things cannot be occupied casually, and only a few treacherous people heard the sound of tribute and immediately hid the fruit in their hands.
Seeing that most of the people had put down their things, the driver did not make any more requests, but beckoned several guards who had rushed over, rearranged the boxes, and carried them into the carriage. The convoy slowly walked again, and soon disappeared into the street.
I saw the carriage go away. A few people who hid the fruit just now carefully took out the fruit, and one of them couldn't help but peel off the skin and take a bite, as soon as the flesh of the fruit was in his mouth, a fragrance that he had never tasted before stimulated him so much that he almost swallowed his tongue, and couldn't help shouting: "It's delicious." "Eat the pulp in three or five strokes. Unfortunately, it was a large fruit, but there was a hard core in the middle, and the flesh was only about one-third, and the man licked the core and licked it, but he was reluctant to give up.
Seeing that someone ate first, the rest of the people who had fruit in their hands couldn't help but peel off the peel and bite it, only biting it. Like the man before them, they ate the flesh of the fruit almost like a date, and finally even licked their fingers a few times before they would stop. After eating, the person looked satisfied, as if he had eaten the ginseng fruit, happy and full of regret, and must have known that it would be difficult for him to eat it again in the future.
Seeing the reaction of the people who ate the fruit, and smelling the aroma in the air, the people who picked up the fruit in their hands just now and put it back were very regretful, and one of them couldn't help but shout: "Whoever has fragrant fruit, I will buy it at a big price" He directly took the name of this fruit as a fragrant fruit.
"I have. What's the price? A thin-looking young man from the highlands triumphantly lifted a fruit.
The person who spoke before was overjoyed and shouted, "One hundred wen." ”
"Don't buy it." The slender and tall young man neatly refused, and sneered: "I want to sell such a fragrant fruit for a hundred yuan, and it is also a tribute, don't think about it." ”
"Two hundred, three hundred. Four hundred ......" The people around him also reacted. They all wanted to taste the taste of this fruit, and they all called for the price. Until the call has always been no one answered, consistent money in the capital can live comfortably for five or six days, if it is a small place, life for more than a month, just buy a fruit seems to be not able to draw.
It's just that the tall and thin young man is unmoved, still not selling, he made up his mind, the fruit in his hand is unique at the moment, he smells the fragrance and his mouth waters, if he can't pay the price, he would rather eat it himself.
"Is there anyone else bidding? Have you ever seen such a fragrant fruit, this is a tribute, maybe it is the fairy mushroom spirit fruit, eat it to increase your longevity by ten years. The tall and lanky young man boasted indiscriminately.
"Ten times." Finally, someone shouted the price, and the price was dazzling, and everyone looked at the tall and thin young man, envious of him, ten yuan is a big fortune, saving a little enough for one person to use for a year, and several people who ate the fruit regretted it even more.
The tall and thin young man also saw that he would accept it, let the fruit give way to the person who shouted the price of ten times, a fruit sold ten times, this news soon spread in the capital, many people wanted to see this kind of thing that was rumored to be the same as the fairy mushroom spirit fruit, and even some people offered a reward higher than the price of ten times, but unfortunately, no one knew where the carriage came from, who the owner was, and finally the fragrant fruit became a legend in the capital, many people believed that this car of fruit has a great origin, it is the emperor from overseas to search for the fairy mushroom spirit fruit, eat one can be ten years longer.
In recent years, there have always been some mysterious legends among the people about the emperor's enthusiasm for building warships and opening up overseas, and some people even linked the emperor's behavior with Qin Shi Huang sending warlocks to the sea to seek immortal medicine, which would cause such a misunderstanding, until many years later, when this fruit was transported to the capital for sale, many people still believed that the legendary fragrant fruit was far better than this fruit.
In the palace, Yang Yong's desk is placed more than a dozen people talk about fragrant fruit, Yang Yong naturally knows that this fruit is mango, mango is extremely fragrant and attractive when eaten at one time, even in later generations it is also a high-grade fruit, not to mention that at this time, this car of fruit from Luzon thousands of miles away, that person can spend ten dollars to buy a taste, and it is not necessarily a loss.
Transporting this cart of fruit into Beijing is naturally Luzon landlord Liu Yuanjin, as early as two years ago Luzon has been promoted to a county, Liu Yuanjin also naturally became a county guard, can be regarded as a prince, Luzon population has developed to more than 200,000 people, even compared to a county in the interior is not bad, the area is even larger, there are rich products, plus the court ten years of tax holiday has not yet arrived, even lazy people do not worry about not being able to fill their stomachs, Liu Yuanjin's county guard there is a good taste, the official position has been much higher than many of the scholars hired together that year.
It's just that Luzon is overseas in the end, the Han people have the strongest local complex, ordinary people have a chance to return to their hometown once in five years, Liu Yuanjin has never come back since he arrived in Luzon, the rich and noble do not return to the hometown, just like a brocade night walk, Liu Yuanjin took the opportunity of the emperor's birthday to enter Beijing, but also wanted to take a look at his hometown by the way, it is best for the emperor to remember his own merits, can transfer himself back from Luzon, although Luzon is good, it is too far from the mainland, Liu Yuanjin has no ambition to be the king and hegemon, of course he is not willing to stay in Luzon forever.
Yang Yong has not tasted mangoes for decades, so he picked up one and tasted it again, only to feel full of fragrance in his teeth, and he shouted happily, and he ate four in a row before stopping, and shouted outside: "Someone." ”
A chamberlain hurriedly walked in: "What does the emperor command?" ”
"Spread my will, send ten catties of mangoes to the four palace concubines, halve the nine concubines, halve Jieyu, and two talents each, and send the ministers above the second grade in the court and the central government...... and give four to each of them, so that they may taste the products of Luzon. ”
"Yes." The waiter saluted and hurried down, this cart of mangoes is so divided, I'm afraid there is no half left, looking at the seven or eight mangoes left in front of him, Yang Yong couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Yuan Qing'er has passed away in the tenth year of the Great Cause, Yang Yong, as the emperor, although there are many harems, he has always had special feelings for this Yuan match, so that after Yuan Qing'er's death, no matter how several concubines blew the pillow wind, Yang Yong did not set up a queen again.
Picked up a mango again, peeled off the skin, and took a bite of the delicious flesh, Yang Yong suddenly stopped, remembered a person again in his mind, and said self-deprecatingly: "Could it be that I am really old?" ”
Fifty-year-old people are still in the prime of life in the future, but the ancients are called by knowing their fate, almost knowing that they will not live long, due to the medical conditions at this time, once people over fifty years old get sick, it is too difficult to recover, Yang Yong knows a little bit of the health regimen of the later generations, is diligent in exercise, and has a miracle doctor like Sun Simiao by his side, but he is still afraid that he will get sick.
"Someone." Yang Yong shouted out the door again.
An attendant entered, his hand down.
"Go, select eight mangoes and send them to the Jin King's mansion."
"King Jin?" The inner servant was at a loss, the emperor had many heirs, except for the three sons of Yang Yan, Yang Yu, and Yang Ge who were crowned kings, most of the rest of the sons had not yet reached the age, and naturally there was no king, how could there be any king among these three.
Seeing the blank eyes of the inner servant, Yang Yong's nerves suddenly touched, and he counted on his fingers, it has been fourteen years since he ascended the throne, and fourteen years can change a lot of things.
"Swing and take a look at the Jin Palace."
After receiving the emperor's order, those old guards and chamberlains all looked strange, but the new guards were as dazed as the chamberlain, I don't know why the emperor suddenly remembered to go to the Jin Palace, the emperor ascended the throne for fourteen years, Yang Guang was naturally imprisoned for fourteen years, except for the people who followed Yang Yong earlier, most of them had forgotten this person, however, no one dared to slack off on the emperor's orders, and after a while, the car was ready.
