Brilliant gold, wherever it is, is a symbol of great wealth. The gold in front of them made the conservative imperial historians stagnate, and even many cutting-edge officials of the maritime faction were a little dumbfounded.

Without him, a large pile of gold was placed in front of him like a rag, and this scene was really amazing.

"What's in the back?" Lao Zhu didn't pay much attention to the gold itself, but instead focused on the back of a few boxes that seemed a little dirty. "Open it up and show us."

"Back to Your Majesty, these are some of the crops of Fengmingzhou." Tie Hyun Road. "I don't know which is the 'divine seed', so I can only bring back everything I find."

As soon as the word "divine seed" came out, some people immediately turned their heads and ears. There is a "god seed" in the New World, which can yield thousands of catties per mu, and this matter has long been spread to the people from the national prison. It's just that the yield of 1,000 catties per mu is too unbelievable, and almost everyone regards it as nonsense.

Now listening to Tie Xuan mention it, the courtiers know that His Majesty has taken the legend of this "god seed" seriously.

The boxes were opened one by one, and suddenly, a smell of earth permeated the entire Fengtian Temple. Lao Zhu didn't shy away from seeing this, so he walked down directly, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand and poked into the box. On the brand-new dragon robe, a few mud spots were suddenly splashed.

Some officials frowned immediately.

"Eldest grandson, eldest child, fifth child, come, take a look!" took out a pot of crops from the box, and Lao Zhu hurriedly called a few close children and grandchildren in the palace.

"What is this? But the god seed? What looks like just ordinary grass and trees? ”

Tie Xuan was about to explain, but Zhu Su looked at the thing and smiled. "Dad, the name of this thing is 'peanut', also known as 'longevity fruit', but the fruit grows on the rhizome. It is a nutty with a delicate taste. If you peel off the skin and stir-fry it with a little salt, it is most suitable for sake. ”

In his previous life, his hometown planted many acres of peanuts, and Zhu Su was very familiar with this thing.

When Tie Xuan heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "What the master said is good. This thing does grow in the rhizome, and our Ming immigrants call it 'mud beans', but no one has ever tasted this method after stir-frying it with salt. ”

"Grandpa Huang, the fifth uncle said that this thing is called 'longevity fruit', could it be that you can live forever if you eat it? Why don't you take it out and eat it? Zhu Xiongying pouted old Zhu Dao, looking at the small pot of "peanuts", his eyes flashed with curiosity. Lao Zhu knew that the eldest grandson just wanted to see if the peanut grew in the rhizome, and for this little thing, he actually calculated it on the head of his imperial grandfather, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Okay, okay, Grandpa Huang will take it......" Seeing that there were still a lot of peanuts in the box, Lao Zhu gently pulled the pot of peanuts in his hand with his hand. After shaking off the soil, I saw that there were many small gourd-like fruits hanging from its rhizomes. I took a few of them and peeled them, wiped them on the dragon robe, and when I saw Zhu Su nodding, I was relieved to stuff one into my mouth.

"Hmmm! Great stuff! Biao'er, eldest grandson, you can taste it too! After speaking, he gave Zhu Biao a few, and personally took a few and wiped them into Zhu Xiongying's mouth. After a few people ate it, they all praised it again and again.

“…… Don't give it to me. Zhu Su, who was ready to pick up the peanuts, stayed in place in embarrassment.

Seeing the three generations of the Zhu family tasting this exotic delicacy, among the courtiers, there were a few who were quite curious, hoping that the emperor would also reward them with something to try. But Lao Zhu only tasted it, and seeing that Zhu Xiongying liked it, he just gave him the remaining peanuts, and then waved his hand to send other peanuts down as a seed reserve.

Then he walked to the second box: "What is this?" ”

The plants in this box are covered with dense particles and exude a strange fragrance. As soon as Zhu Su smelled this fragrance, he already had an answer in his heart. "This thing is called coffee, and after roasting, it is ground into powder, and it can be drunk to wake up the mind and refresh the mind, so that people can not sleep all night, and still be refreshed."

"Oh? Another good thing! "Old Zhu Long's heart is happy. He is the number one workaholic in the Ming Dynasty, and he is overjoyed to hear that there is such a refreshing artifact.

"And what is it?"

"Huh? Chili pepper? "This time it's Zhu Su's turn to be happy." Father, the name of this thing is called chili, and its taste is ten times more spicy than dogwood. It's delicious. Thinking of the delicacies made of chili peppers he had eaten in his previous life, Zhu Su almost drooled on the Fengtian Palace.

"And this thing?"

"Oh, this is tobacco, it can be used for medicinal purposes......"

"Hey, this is corn? That's a good thing......"

……

Subsequently, Lao Zhu opened one after another Fengmingzhou crops on this Fengtian Hall like opening a blind box. Every crop, he personally looked at it and asked for its use. Some of what Zhu Su knew, Zhu Su explained, and what Zhu Su didn't know, Tie Xuan explained them one by one. Lao Zhu took the trouble to listen carefully, deep in his heart, he still attached great importance to farming, and so many new crops made him extremely happy.

However, there are also fly in the ointment. It wasn't until the end that Lao Zhu Fang turned his head and asked Zhu Su: "Among these things, isn't there a 'divine seed'?" ”

"Father, no." Zhu Su also shook his head regretfully, in all fairness, Tie Xuan's voyage this time and the establishment of "Jinshan Fort" in "San Francisco" are equivalent to directly occupying a large gold mine, and he has collected so many crops in a short period of time and returned to China, which is already a very good job.

Unfortunately, none of these crops had the biggest targets for the expedition to the Americas: "potatoes" and "sweet potatoes". Although there is the existence of "corn", the yield of corn is far from giving Lao Zhu the confidence to resist the Xiaoice River period hundreds of years later.

"The ministers have the emperor's grace, and the capital crime ......" Zhang He and Tie Xuan were already kneeling on the ground.

"It's okay, you two have done a great job. We are not people who do not distinguish between right and wrong, and we will find the divine seed for us next time, that is. Lao Zhu waved his hand generously. The New World has been successfully found, and the emergence of peanuts, corn and other crops is enough to prove that the so-called "divine seed" is not nonsense, which is enough for Lao Zhu.

Next, it is to introduce the divine seed into Daming at any cost, so that Daming will no longer suffer from hunger......

"Your Majesty, the god seed is really nonsense, how can you find it again?" As soon as Lao Zhu's voice fell, Lian Zining, who had endured the supervision of the imperial history all day on the side, could no longer hold back and admonished.

"How can there be a thousand catties of grain per mu in the world? It's really a big joke in the world! The minister is willing to impeach Jang Hyuk and Tie Xuan, who bewitch the Sacred Heart with gold and strange flowers and plants...... He deserves to be punished! ”
