Early in the morning of the second day, King Kang and Cao Baoli both got bad news: the prince came back intact!

"It's really fateful, I actually got them back." Cao Baoli raised his hand and asked his wife to dress him in court clothes, he squinted and said: "It's a pity, they also reported to me that the prince had a hole in his stomach before falling into the river, so he could live?" Hum! These bunnies must have wanted to receive the reward and made a false report. ”

"It's really fateful. Listen, it was Yu Shizi who saved him. He fell into the river by himself, swam to the shore, and found the prince again. The prince is now the son-in-law of King Wara, and with him helping the prince, the prince is like a tiger with wings. Yu Minglang, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, who came to report in person, smiled again:

"Last night, the prince and the crown princess, they went back to the city together, and when they entered the city, the doorman specially looked at it, and without the imperial doctor following, the prince should be fine."

"Since you keep him, let him watch how the hat on his head is put on Berao's head. Wouldn't it be more interesting? Cao Baoli put on his hat and walked away from Cao's Mansion with his hands and feet behind his back.

The crown prince and the princess also left the prince's mansion, and the prince did not go to the court, but returned to the East Palace with the princess. The crown prince held the princess's hand in the palm of his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, they want my life, but just so that I don't interfere in their affairs." Then I will retreat as he wishes. ”

The prince had already confessed to Yan Shiyi and Shen Congxi, who had been waiting for him in the prince's mansion last night. Shen Congxi also hurried home and told his father about the prince's return to the house. The prince fell into the water and was not heard from all night. It is also rumored that he saw the assassin assassinate the crown prince. Rumors flew all over the capital, and the old ministers who supported the prince were so anxious that they wanted to go to the river to find it in person.

A birthday banquet that ended with a sinking ship not only made Xie Ruijiao experience life and death, but also made onlookers frightened: If the prince can't come back this time, won't King Kang become the prince?

The night before the dedication of the king, you can see it clearly: this is the assassin of the family, and the fifth child wants the life of the third! Anyway, on the boat, he was also scared into a cold sweat, so when he came back, he called it frightened and took leave not to go to court. He didn't dare to go out to the flower and wine field, but only nested in the palace of the king, and called Jade and Rouge to come to Changfeng Tower to sing songs.

Princess Xu Guanping didn't even know how she returned to the palace the night before, she only knew that everything was terrible. She also realized this time: as long as the prince is still alive, what if he eats, drinks and has fun, and does not want to make progress?

King Cheng took advantage of entering the palace to greet his mother and concubine, and went to the East Palace to see the prince several times. Every time he wanted to talk about King Kang, the crown prince interrupted him, and only talked to him about "Zizhi Tongjian", and Haitang cooked food for them, listened to their debates, and interjected from time to time.

At first, King Cheng didn't understand the third brother's intentions, but later he went back to the house and figured it out. He also took a look at the "Zizhi Tongjian" every time, thinking about how to win the third brother next time.

"The king takes the people as the people, the people take the food as the food, and those who can know can do it." Xie Ruijiao said: "The reason why Qin unified the Six Kingdoms is that there is an invisible hero behind it is Mai. At that time, the Qin State was the first to introduce wheat planting and build water conservancy, which made the country strong.

The reason why the Song Dynasty was rich and the population increased greatly was the invisible hero behind the Champa rice, the Champa rice of the Champa country, which crops twice a year and feeds a large number of people. Only when there are people can we be productive. Now, most of the land used to grow wheat and rice has been fully developed. Xie Ruijiao stopped here.

"So, we need new food crops to feed more people and support the development of the pot?" ”

When it comes to "new food crops", Begonia suddenly remembered one thing and said:

"When I was in Yuehu Town, there was once a Fujianese who brought an overseas food called ...... Sweet potatoes, which are red on the outside and white on the inside, have a sweet taste and can be eaten to a full stomach. The key is that it is very good to plant, in front of the house and behind the house, cut off a piece of bud head, and you can plant. When the vine grows, cut it off and insert it in the soil, and it will be a new seedling. ”

"Oh? Then why didn't you let me eat it? Xie Ruijiao asked her with a smile.

"Everyone has tried it, where did they think of planting? I was curious, so I took a bud and planted it behind the house, but I didn't expect it to grow a large patch on its own. When you went, we served you good food and wine, and we didn't think about eating it. Next time, if someone goes to Guangdong and Fujian, they can find a seedling and come back and plant it. ”

"I've been in Guangdong and Fujian for a few months, but I've never eaten it." Xie Ruibin couldn't think of what sweet potatoes looked like.

Haitang smiled: "I have to go to the people in the mountains, they have no place to grow rice, so they will grow these foods." In addition, the cultivation is not extensive, and you princes and nobles can't eat it! ”

"Third brother, we have to be this 'knower' in order to win the hearts of the people! I understand. In the past, I only knew that 'the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass are carried first, which turns out that food is so important for governance. Xie Ruibin sighed, the third brother's way of governing the country can always make him suddenly.

Xie Ruijiao laughed and said, "That's right! Your sister-in-law just used all kinds of delicious food and drink to hold me in the palm of her hand, do you matter? ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Haitang hurriedly said to Xie Rui, stood up and walked away with a red face.

After a while, Ji'er came in with a plate of Qingtuan, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the people take food as the food, and you two will talk when you are full." ”

"Zhuangzi sent Ai Ye over? Was there toon, mushroom or spring bamboo shoots to eat that night? Sixth brother, stay for dinner, you're blessed! ”

"Am I blessed too?" Xie Yuanyu was still outside the door and spoke from a distance.

"Cousin, you're late, you didn't listen to the third brother's 'Theory of Rejuvenating the Country through Food'!" Xie Ruibin rushed to arrive.

"I have a realistic version of the 'Theory of Losing the Country Without Food' here, do you two want to listen to it?" Xie Yuanyu didn't care whether his hands were dirty or not, he picked up a Qingtuan, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Xie Ruijiao knew that he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so he asked Ji'er to go out to pass the meal, and the three brothers ate while eating.

It turned out that Mr. Zhu received an express report that there was a homeless riot in Jingxiang, and the rice shops and pharmacies opened by the prince in Jingzhou and Xiangyang were all ransacked!

"It's not a problem with one or two of my shops, I'm afraid something big will happen." Xie Ruijiao said in a deep voice: "I don't know if there is a concealment of the imperial court below." ”

"It should be reported after two years, because the official warehouse has also been robbed." Xie Yuanyu seems to be very interested in a plate of fried shredded carrots. Red turnips, rare.

"Wait and see." Xie Ruijiao nodded.

Xie Ruibin was still immersed in the foreign food just now, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Carrots...... This has the word 'Hu', it must have also been transmitted to the DPRK from overseas, right? ”

Xie Ruijiao was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't paid attention, I have to ask your sister-in-law!" ”

"I heard you have bees?"

"Won't it?"

"Where there is Cheng Haitang, there are magical things happening."

"Who allowed you to call the princess by her name?"

"I'll change it."

"I just want to eat sweet potatoes......"

Xie Yuanyu: Huh? What am I here for?
