Chapter 79: Controversy
When Chu Ze and Cheng Chuliang returned to Cheng Mansion, Chu Ze somehow felt that the atmosphere in the entire Cheng Mansion was depressing and terrifying, and the little guys didn't dare to walk a little faster, and everyone in the mansion had a feeling of being a big enemy.
Sensing that the atmosphere in the house was not quite right, Cheng Chuliang stopped the little guy and asked, "What's going on in the house?" ”
The little guy who was stopped glanced at the direction of the study in horror, and whispered, "Back to Gongzi, master... The old man is writing a recital. ”
After listening to the little guy's words, Cheng Chuliang's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Chu Ze and said, "Hurry up!" Again, it's too late to slow down! ”
"Is it that scary?" Chu Ze whispered.
"Don't ask, let's go." Cheng Chuliang said, pulling Chu Ze and going outside.
"But Chu boy is here? Hurry up and let the old man in! The voice of the Great Demon King Cheng came from the study.
"It's over... It's over..."
The Great Demon King Cheng is writing a recital at this time, yes, he is writing a recital. The end of the year is approaching, Datang is similar to the future, and all departments also have to report the year-end summary and look forward to next year. As the general of the Right Wuwei, the Great Demon King Cheng naturally had to report the specific situation of the Right Wuwei to His Majesty Li Er.
It was originally a very simple thing to write a recital, but Cheng Da Demon King racked his brains every time, and he couldn't write it over and over again, and when he arrived in the last dynasty, he was ridiculed by other colleagues, which led to Cheng Da Demon King being in a period of irritability at this time of year.
Cheng Chuliang took Chu Ze to the study tremblingly, the rice paper in the study seemed to be unwanted, and was thrown to the ground by Cheng Da Demon King's group, and then looked at Cheng Da Demon King's own hair was scratched and messy, it was very good-looking.
"Where did you two go from school today?" The Great Demon King Cheng stared at Cheng Chuliang and said loudly.
Cheng Chuliang, who was weak-hearted, lowered his head and looked at Chu Ze, not daring to say anything.
At the critical time, you have to look at Chu Ze, Chu Ze said in detail the new crops he saw in Hu Shang today, Cheng Da Demon King heard that the yield per mu could reach about five stones, his eyes were round and he couldn't believe it, until Chu Ze swore a promise, Cheng Da Demon King was still skeptical. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since there is such a divine object, why don't you kid bring some back?" ”
"That Hu Shang only brought a few more, and the boy has already ordered him to go and find more. When I came back, I brought a little, Uncle Cheng wants to see it? ”
Cheng Da Demon King was curious, and when he came to the courtyard, he saw walnuts, corn kernels and other things, but he really hadn't seen them, but he didn't know if the yield per mu could reach about five stones as Chu Ze said. I tasted raisins and walnuts again, and exclaimed, "It tastes really good." ”
Saying that, the Great Demon King Cheng grabbed the corn and put it in his mouth again, which was called a crunchy, "Phew, what the hell, such teeth!" ”
Chu Ze held back a smile and whispered, "Uncle Cheng, this corn is not eaten like this. ”
"Can this thing really produce five stones per mu?" Cheng Da Demon King held the corn in his hand, looked at Chu Ze and said.
"Yes, indeed."
"Bring something with the old man."
The Great Demon King Cheng ordered Chu Ze to bring the remaining corn and others into the palace to report the matter to His Majesty Li Er, and the Great Demon King Cheng thought to himself, it is not good to write the fold, but it is not bad to be able to offer His Majesty Li Er a crop with a yield of five stones per mu.
The two took a carriage and went to Taiji Palace after entering the palace, but His Majesty Li Er was not there, so they went to Empress Changsun. After the chamberlain summoned, His Majesty Li Er ordered the two to go to the Lizheng Palace to meet the driver.
Cheng Da Demon King and the two went to the harem under the leadership of the chamberlain, and entered the Lizheng Palace, His Majesty Li Er was playing chess with the eldest grandson queen, and a woman was watching with a smile.
"How is she?" Seeing the woman in front of him, Chu Ze was slightly stunned, and the woman was also stunned for a moment when she saw Chu Ze coming in, and then lowered her head to watch the chess.
The two of them didn't dare to disturb, and they were also watching from the side.
Before the game was over, a little Zhengtai ran in with a smile and shouted that he had won a beautiful paper kite from Li Ke. His Majesty Li Er saw that he was about to lose, so he just used this as an excuse to make the palace maid pack up the chess pieces. The woman pouted: "Father and the emperor are playing tricks on ...... again"
"It turns out that she is a princess" Chu Ze sighed in his heart, and now he understood why she would disguise herself as a man in Cuiyuan Building that day, but she didn't know which princess it was.
His Majesty Li Er's face turned red when he heard this, and he changed the topic and said, "Is there something wrong with Zhijie coming here?" ”
Great Demon King Cheng bowed down and said, "The minister has an important matter to tell His Majesty. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" His Majesty Li Er straightened his body and motioned to the Great Demon King Cheng to continue.
Cheng Da Demon King said, "This matter is related to Chu Ze, let Chu Ze talk to His Majesty by himself." ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded, looked at Chu Ze and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”
Chu Ze said: "When Xiaochen visited the West Market today, he found some rare crops, some crops do not have high requirements for planting, but the yield per mu can reach about five stones. Therefore, the things come from thousands of miles away, so there are not many, and the minister has ordered Hu Shang to find seeds again, if they can be planted in a large area, they can make my Tang granary abundant. ”
His Majesty Li Er was also shocked when he heard that the yield of five stones per mu was also shocked, and hurriedly ordered it to be offered to see what kind of crop it was.
Chu Ze took out a few things and explained them in detail one by one, His Majesty Li Er ate a few raisins, grabbed a handful of corn kernels and smelled them, feeling very strange.
The little Zhengtai Li Zhi on the side was already impatient to smash a few walnuts and eat them, and handed them to the princess and the eldest grandson queen next to him to taste.
His Majesty Li Er once again confirmed that corn could yield about five stones per mu, and immediately sent a decree to let Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng and other important ministers and Si Nongqing enter the palace to discuss matters.
After the order, His Majesty Li Er took the Great Demon King Cheng to the Taiji Palace. After entering the Taiji Palace, the tea kung fu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others arrived. His Majesty Li Er gave him a seat, and asked Si Nongqing first: "Does Yang Aiqing know that there are crops in the world with a yield of about five stones per mu?" ”
Si Nongqing Yang Yi got up and replied: "Weichen is dull, I haven't heard of it. I wonder where Your Majesty found out? If there really is such a thing, it is a blessing for the people of my Tang Dynasty! ”
Cen Wenwen also got up and said: "If there is really such a thing, it is indeed the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be encouraged, and the people will be ruined!" ”
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "What Cen Aiqing said is extremely true, isn't it that I am discussing with everyone." Chu Ze, you come. ”
Chu Ze made a group and said: "Today, Xiao Ke went to Xishi and saw some foreign crops, which can indeed yield about five stones per mu, and Xiao Ke has already ordered Hu Shang to find a large number of them." ”
Chu Ze showed corn kernels and other things, let a few people see them clearly, and then said: "This thing comes from thousands of miles away, is drought and cold-resistant, sown in April every year, and harvested in September."
There are also several plants called sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the yield per mu is even higher. However, as a staple food, it is better to use this corn kernel to make corn nests, corn porridge and so on. This walnut is a woody plant, and it can be harvested for a few years after planting. As for this raisin, it is made by drying a fruit called a grape. ”
When they heard this, they all tasted raisins and walnuts.
