Chapter 216: Sweet Potato

"Later, this court meeting is a great opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp it!" Wu You said with a smile, looking for a feather fan, but couldn't find it.

The eldest grandson Xiaoyu asked suspiciously, "Chaohui?" What can the court be used for? Besides, the court meeting must be controlled by His Majesty, and if something goes wrong, I'm afraid I'm the position of the prince."

When Wu You heard this, he immediately knew that the prince had misunderstood and thought that he was going to make some moves against the third prince at the court meeting, and immediately said: "There is one thing that the lower official will confirm with you again, may I ask if the empire is short of horses in the whole country?" ”

"Yes! The empire is very large, but the only thing that is the lack of horses is ridiculous, and it needs to be purchased from other countries. The eldest grandson Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, and at the same time was a little puzzled, not knowing what Wu You did to ask this well-known question.

Wu You smiled slightly, and said more certainly: "So, is it that the empire needs to hand over a lot of money to them every year!" ”

"Now that you know, what do you want to express?" The eldest grandson Xiaoyu asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, sell back to them what the empire doesn't want!" Wu You whispered to the prince.

The prince said hesitantly: "This matter"

"Don't worry, it's actually very simple, it's more troublesome to prepare in advance, but as long as Your Highness talks to Your Majesty, it's very simple, this is a big thing once and for all!" Wu Youthief laughed.

The eldest grandson Xiaoyu looked at Wu You fixedly and nodded solemnly.

The eunuch asked Wu You to participate in the court meeting, which is naturally not fiction, and the admiration for imperial power can be said to have penetrated into the bone marrow, just by the way, Wu You and the prince met.

There has been no morning court for many days, and the people standing in front of Wu You have changed a batch, greeting each other with a smile, but there are few responders, and most of them are too lazy to take care of Wu You, after all, Wu You's reputation is really a bit ugly, and even those new officials are afraid to avoid it, which reminds Wu You of a song, "How lonely is invincible"

The emperor went to the early court, nothing more than to deal with some daily life, and then solemnly announced that at noon today, in the Linyuan Pavilion, let everyone and foreign envoys have a dinner together, and after the explanation, the envoy who had been waiting for a long time came in with gifts.

Most of them are small border countries, some of them are dressed strangely, and some of them are dressed the same as those of Kyoto, and some of the messengers who are obviously grasslands or Nanyang also came up to meet them, Wu You pursed his lips, and he was quite speechless with a proud expression on their faces with some messy things, the emperor They have not seen it, but Wu You has seen it in the supermarket, and when he saw the potato, Wu You's eyes lit up This thing tastes very delicious.

"This is a sacred relic of our country, called the Earth Immortal Fruit, which is very visible to people, and I invite Your Majesty to take a look at it today!" Let's say that let people hand the cleaned potato, that is, sweet potato, to the emperor and take a look.

Sweet potatoes are also easy to store in winter, and they are fresh at this time. The ministers talked about it, just because the name is so good, the earth immortal fruit, and the immortal side is definitely not ordinary.

Wu You silently gave a thumbs up, the ancients had nothing to say about this marketing, and this brand packaging alone could give him full marks!

The Emperor took it strangely and said, "This thing is indeed extraordinary!" ”

Wu You almost didn't laugh when he heard it, looking at the emperor's serious and cautious appearance, he couldn't bear to pierce it, so he could only quietly watch the foreign envoy show an arrogant look.

I only heard the messenger say loudly: "This is my country's imperial offering, eating this thing can prolong life, relieve the intestines and relieve qi!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below suddenly showed words of amazement, especially those princes staring at the sweet potatoes in the emperor's hands with fiery expressions.

The Emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Good! Someone, a reward! ”

Wu You's eyes suddenly turned red, I damn it, a broken sweet potato, even if it has some health care functions, it is worth so much money, especially when he heard the messenger say that he brought a total of 100 pieces to His Majesty this time, and there are still a few leftovers for auction, Wu You is even more red-eyed and screamed, and a greedy wolf in his heart is waking up.

Why are you so stupid, you didn't even think of this trick, you live more backward than them, in your previous life, someone was willing to spend a lot of money for your life, how could it be different here? It's only going to be harder.

The messenger smiled triumphantly.

The ministers stared at the sweet potatoes in the tray like hungry wolves, Wu You believed that as soon as they went out, these sweet potatoes would definitely be booked by them in minutes, wouldn't these people send someone to inquire? But in an instant, Wu You thought again, I am afraid that these people do not want to inquire, but would rather live in this lie, so that their poor life can survive for a few more days, this is human nature.

The emperor smiled with relief: "You have a heart, I am very relieved!" ”

The messenger stepped back with a smile on his face.

There were also some other envoys who sent strange things, such as ivory products, bird's nest, shark fin, etc., which had been sent in the past, but none of them were more dazzling than sweet potatoes, and the court meeting ended successfully on the basis of infinitely insulting Wu You's IQ.

The envoy was happy, the emperor was happy, the ministers were happy, when the court meeting was over, the ministers surrounded the envoy to ask about the price of sweet potatoes, Wu You was not interested in this at all, but was unexpectedly recruited by the eunuch to the Yunxiao Palace, entered the door and saluted, it can be seen that the emperor is very happy.

"Captain Wu, I've been working hard for the flag-raising camp recently, and it seems a bit vulgar to give me other rewards, so I'll give you this thing!" The Emperor laughed.

Wu You's eyes lit up and knelt down and said: "Weichen does things for Your Majesty, that is the blessing of the minister, and you must not receive any more gifts from Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor said unhappily: "I will give it to you, and you will continue, many people want to get it!" The emperor waved his hand, and suddenly a eunuch carried a sterling silver tray with a red cloth stamped on it.

Is it money? Wu You thought of it with some excitement, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When the eunuch uncovered the red cloth, if it weren't for the emperor sitting opposite, Wu You slapped him and said with a wry smile: "Minister, thank you for your reward!" ”

"Yo, I don't think you're happy!" The Emperor said angrily.

"No, Weichen is moved, I didn't expect His Majesty to give such a precious thing to Weichen, Weichen is really moved and doesn't know what to say!" Wu You knelt on the ground and almost burst into tears.

The Emperor laughed and pointed at Wu You and looked at Ji Abo, as if to say that I was not wrong.

Wu You was holding the wrapped reward in his hand, with a bitter and bitter face, and he wanted to sell it, but who dared to ask for this thing, if you don't take it home and burn incense every day, you dare to sell it, I don't know what to do.

Wu You was a little disgusted with that messenger for no reason, such a good idea was thought of by you, it's disgusting! (To be continued.) )
