CHAPTER XXV
Qin Yu and the others, who rushed back to the palace in a hurry, just walked outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and the soldiers guarding the door stopped a few people, and said with a slightly serious face: "Second Prince, General Zhu, Qin Gongzi, the prince has ordered, let you go and see him as soon as you come back!" ”
Zhu Neng and Qin Yuda's grinning appearance didn't react, but Zhu Gaoxu's face darkened, and he chuckled in his heart, and suddenly got angry with an ominous premonition.
"The last general has seen the handsome!"
Because it was in the festival hall, Zhu Gaochu did not call his father, but called Dashuai, after several people saw the ceremony, Zhu Di ignored Qin Yu and Zhu Neng, but glanced at Zhu Gaoxu lightly.
Zhu Gaoxu was covered in a cold sweat, he knew very well what his father's eyes meant, and he must have made a mistake again.
Zhu Di stood up from his seat, put his hands behind his back, walked slowly to Zhu Gaoxu's side, and said lightly: "Tell me, what are you doing when you run out today!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu is also a general of the first army, but he will not be scared by his father to pee his pants, but in front of Zhu Di, how many can stand the overwhelming momentum that seems to be in front of thousands of troops?
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and then said tremblingly: "Back to the big handsome, the last general is just going to Yanlai Tower to talk to Brother Qin Yuxian today, and Uncle Zhu Neng has gone to drink, and there is nothing wrong with me waiting for a rest today." ”
Zhu Di sneered and said coldly: "Yes, I won't say much if you just go to drink today, but why will you return people to waste if you drink a drink?" My father is coming to me! I want to give an explanation! ”
Zhu Neng pursed his lips and said heartlessly: "What else do you want to say, just break your leg and throw it out!" ”
Zhu Di turned his head and glared at Zhu Neng, Zhu Neng hurriedly shrunk his neck, and it could be seen that he was still afraid of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was very helpless about this veteran who had followed him for many years, and directly reprimanded: "You, an old horseman, as an elder, don't know how to be optimistic about juniors, but you still help to abuse them, what is this?" ”
Zhu Neng smiled, Zhu Di's face instantly darkened by half, with this kind of person, there was no way to reason, and he returned to Zhu Gaoxu to continue to reprimand with a flick of his sleeves.
Zhu Gaoxu is also a heartless guy, but he is afraid of Zhu Di, so he can only be submissive, Qin Yuzhi, who watched it, sighed, sure enough, one thing descends one thing!
Zhu Di reprimanded, then returned to the main seat, slowed down his tone and said: "Actually, a son of Liu Wen, breaking his leg is just a trivial matter, but this Liu Wen, who now represents the aristocratic class of the entire Jinan Mansion, broke his son's leg, what is the difference between beating the face of these nobles?" All the strategies that this king wanted to carry out have been destroyed by you and others, and you say that I am not angry? ”
Qin Yu and the other three lowered their heads to admit their mistakes and be taught, after all, a Liu Shaosheng, including Liu Wen, is nothing in their eyes, but Zhu Di said so now, then there must be such a thing, otherwise Zhu Di would not care about this matter.
Qin Yu saw that Zhu Di was so annoyed, walked forward and took a small step, took out the small bag containing pumpkin seeds, and said to Zhu Di, who was not angry: "Handsome, the last general has found a good thing!" ”
Zhu Di glanced at Qin Yu lightly, and said in obvious disbelief: "Oh? What's good? There is no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry, or something! If so, you might as well take it back! ”
Qin Yu laughed faintly a few times, and then said, "Isn't the gold and silver jewelry too tacky? What the last general will sacrifice is something that is related to the Ming Dynasty and the society for ten thousand years! ”
Zhu Di grinned, looked at Qin Yudao like a fool: "It's still about the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, Lao Tzu doesn't dare to brag about this cowhide, you kid really dare to brag?" Hahahaha... Well, show it to me! ”
Qin Yu carefully held the bag, walked to Zhu Di's main seat, and gently placed the bag on the table, then gently took out a seed and placed it in front of Zhu Di.
Looking at the things in front of him, Zhu Di restrained his smile and asked suspiciously, "Is this a seed?" Why haven't you seen it before!? Is it a new grain seed? ”
Zhu Di suddenly became a little more curious, and Dao Yan, who had been silent, was also interested at this time, picked up the seed and looked at it carefully, but he really didn't see why he came out, so he turned his gaze to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu smiled, picked up the seeds, and said to a few people: "This thing, Jia Ming of the previous dynasty mentioned it in the "Dietary Instructions". According to this book: pumpkin, sweet in taste, warm in nature, and jaundice with beriberi when eating more. It is eaten with mutton, which is infuriating. It can be combined with wheat and flour to increase the volume. In the year of great disaster, it can replace staple food. Do not eat with pork liver, red beans, and soba noodles. I think that's it! ”
In fact, Qin Yu was very sure that this thing was a pumpkin seed, but he was soft-spoken, if he didn't quote the scriptures, Zhu Di and the others would definitely not believe it.
In this way, Zhu Di and the others really believed it, and their reaction was not much better than that of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng, their eyes were straight, in this era when people take food as the sky, there is nothing more exciting than discovering a new grain.
As soon as Dao Yan heard Jia Ming's name, he said directly: "But the "Dietary Instructions" written by Jia Ming, a health practitioner in the Yuan Dynasty? This book consists of eight volumes, and gives a detailed explanation of the taste, taboo, and suitability of 360 kinds of food, and is a health monograph on the diet and avoidance. ”
Qin Yu nodded: "It is indeed this book." ”
Dao Yan nodded and said: "In this way, this thing is very likely to be true, I used to read this book roughly when I was young, and everything I remember has its own reason." I just don't know how much this production is? ”
Qin Yu smiled and said, "The yield of this thing per mu can reach fifteen quintals!" ”
After hearing this, Zhu Di jumped up directly from his seat, grabbed Qin Yu's hand, and said with red eyes: "What did you say?" Fifteen quintals per mu! You kid don't want to fool me! ”
Before Qin Yu could answer, Zhu Di sat back in his seat in a decadent manner, sighed and said: "Fifteen Dan, listening to what you said, it should be true, but it is also extremely hurtful to think of it, such a thing, if it is planted, an acre of fertile land will become inferior land in a few years, alas...."
Qin Yu shook his head at Zhu Di with a smile and said: "Dashuai is wrong, this thing is very simple to plant, it is very easy to survive, this thing likes temperature and sunshine, has strong drought tolerance, and has very low land requirements. And easy to store, only in the kiln, can be stored for one or two years. ”
Zhu Di jumped up again after hearing this, rubbed his hands and walked around excitedly, and said to himself: "Okay, okay, I will have no famine in the Ming Dynasty!" Harbinger of prosperity! ”
Zhu Di chattered for a while, then went to a brocade box in person, carefully stored the seeds in it, locked it himself, and then handed it to the guards for storage.
After calming down his excitement, Zhu Di asked, "By the way, how did this thing come about?" ”
Qin Yu arched his hand, and said with a slightly red face: "Snatched from a bearded girl..."
Zhu Di glared at Qin Yu angrily, but then he laughed out loud, praising Qin Yu for his vision.
Without reprimanding Qin Yu, he said directly: "If this thing is really as powerful as you say, the yield per mu is fifteen quintals, and it will not hurt the land, after Jing is difficult to achieve, I will give you a marquis!" ”
Zhu Di, who is used to deceiving people, made another blank check this time, anyway, the blank check doesn't cost money, but such a high reward Zhu Di has not been issued yet, and Zhu Neng is envious for a while, and Qin Yu is also excited, a pumpkin seed will earn a marquis, no loss! Of course, the matter of breaking Liu Shaosheng's leg has also been revealed.
After coming out of the festival hall, Qin Yu touched the dozen or so seeds left in his arms, and his heart was happy.
