"Your Highness, this small half a pocket of seeds, at most half an acre of land is enough, why use a thousand acres? What kind of seeds are these? Yang Sichang looked at Zhu Youzhen's "baby" and said in confusion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhu Youzhen carefully spread the seeds on the table, and introduced them like a few treasures: "This is called sweet potato; This is called a potato, also called a potato; It's called corn. These three are all high-yield crops, and the yield per mu is at least more than 1,000 catties! This is called peanuts, this is called sunflowers, which can be eaten directly or squeezed for oil; This is called chili, which is extremely spicy and makes an excellent seasoning; This is called zucchini, this is called tomato, and it is also called tomato, and they are all very good vegetables..."

Yang Sichang was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Your Highness, these crops are unheard of, where did you get them?" ”

"You don't care about this, it's extremely precious anyway." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "The reason why I want to cover an area of 1,000 acres is because I want to send a large number of people to carry out intensive breeding and rapidly expand planting." As long as farmers see for themselves how high the yields of these crops are, it will be much easier to carry out land reform later. ”

"Alright, do it!" Yang Sichang was also moved by this tempting prospect, "There are several squires who have been trying to ask for the word of the minister, but the minister has not agreed; This time, I want to go to the door to deliver the words to see if I can fight for thousands of acres of fertile land for His Royal Highness. ”

The two discussed for a while, and by this time it was already completely dark, and Yang Sichang hurriedly got up to say goodbye. Zhu Youzhen went out to see him off, and as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly felt dizzy and sat on the ground.

Yan Ling, who had been guarding in the courtyard, hurriedly helped Zhu Youzhen back to the room, and called someone to inform Rui'er. After a while, Rui'er, Bao Yulian, Li Zhenyan, Zhu Cunqi and others ran over in a panic, and the conference hall was full of warblers.

Bao Yulian was busy checking Zhu You's pulse, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The prince is fine, but he has been working hard for days after returning home, plus he didn't sleep all night last night, and he sat dry for a day during the day today, so he is too tired, just need to rest for one night." ”

Only then did the girls put their minds at ease, and they were going to send Zhu Youzhen back to Rui'er's main room to rest. Rui'er said embarrassedly: "The prince has already rested with me the night before, and he should accompany Sister Yulian tonight, or Zhenyan." ”

A few beauties had to be humble, but Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "I said, let's have dinner first, okay?" ”

This is also the first reunion dinner that Zhu Youzhen and Li Zhenyan had after returning to the palace. Bao Yulian also hugged the little girl out, and the little guy saw that everyone was eating with relish, but he couldn't eat without teeth, so anxious that his little face was red, and he vigorously "babbled" to protest, adding a lot of fun to the banquet.

The seats were all the closest people, and Zhu Youzhen rarely relaxed his tense nerves and enjoyed the joy of family. He has been busy with official business for the past two days, and now he finally has some time to deal with family affairs.

First of all, he had to discuss the placement of Li Zhenyan with Rui'er. Because the two are already husband and wife, it is obviously inappropriate to let Li Zhenyan live outside the palace; But after all, they are not officially married, if they live together like this, Zhu Youzhen feels that he does not respect Li Zhenyan enough, and Li Zhenyan is also a little shy.

Rui'er's brain turned quickly, and she said to Li Zhenyan with a smile: "Some of the palaces are cross-courtyard, and tonight I will choose a place for Zhenyan with an elegant environment and a side door to leave the mansion, so that you can live in first." In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhenyan does not enter and exit from the palace gate, so she can be less suspicious; Of course, it is easy to get inside, and it is also very convenient if Zhenyan wants to come over to talk to her sisters, or if the prince has something to discuss with you. ”

In fact, the so-called "something to discuss", you don't need to ask to know what it is. Li Zhenyan was so ashamed that she had no choice but to bow her head and whisper: "But it depends on the arrangement of the princess." ”

"Actually, I have already cleaned up your and Meifeng's yards," Rui'er said with a smile, "The prince's study is in the middle, and the residences of our sisters are lined up at the back, close to each other. Just wait for the two of you to officially pass the door, and our sisters can get along at any time, wouldn't it be good to be lively. I heard that the prince invented a domino game called 'mahjong', which happens to be played by four people. I, Yulian, you and Meifeng, just made up a table! ”

There was another burst of laughter at the banquet, and everyone was very happy. When he was about to remove the remnant seat, Zhu Cunqi, who had been relatively quiet, got up and said to Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Niangniang, Your Highness was not here a few days ago, and Cunqi had to stay in the palace temporarily. Fortunately, it has been a year since I was taken care of by my mother. Now that His Royal Highness has returned, Cunqi said goodbye to His Royal Highness and the princess. Early tomorrow morning, Cunqi will return to the county lord's mansion in Xi'an. ”

As soon as she said this, the table fell silent. Over the past year, although Zhu Cunqi has lived in the palace in a simple place, they have been getting along for a long time, and Rui'er and her have long regarded her as a relative. Li Zhenyan and Zhu Cunqi have been friends since childhood, and they know that she has an incomprehensible affection for Zhu Youzhen.

However, Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Cunqi are both surnamed Zhu, and they are both members of the clan, and according to the ancestral system, intermarriage is strictly prohibited within the clan. Although the two of them have already come out of the "five suits" in terms of blood, but with the pressure of the "ancestral system", no one dares to touch this topic, so they have to look at Zhu Youzhen with a blank eye.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen didn't feel anything about Zhu Cunqi's affection, and he was reluctant to let Zhu Cunqi return to the county lord's mansion that seemed to be full of flowers, but was actually like a cage. But he also knows that Zhu Cunqi has a stubborn personality, and if he doesn't have a suitable reason, he can't keep her.

Just when he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, Li Zhenyan preemptively said: "Zhenyan lives alone in a small courtyard, and she is really lonely. Why don't you go there and accompany me? It just so happens that the affairs of the Huanghai Merchant Gang are complicated, and the two of us can discuss it together. ”

When she said this, everyone agreed. Zhu Cunqi hesitated, glanced at Zhu Youzhen deeply, and then whispered: "Since Zhenyan said so, it's okay, then I'll move over now." ”

Li Zhenyan hurriedly followed Zhu Cunqi to clean up her things, and before leaving, she didn't forget to turn around and glance at Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen had to give a grateful wry smile.

Everyone also retreated one after another, leaving only Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er. Rui'er gently kneaded her swollen temples for Zhu Youzhen, and said softly: "Rui'er can see that the county lord actually doesn't want to leave. Lord Wang, you tell Rui'er the truth, do you want to leave the county lord forever? ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer this question directly, but just let out a long sigh. In the face of powerful feudal etiquette, even the emperor has to bow his head, not to mention that he is just a prince?

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that he was actually very small, so small that he couldn't even guarantee the happiness of his loved ones.
