Chapter 618: Guo Thief is greedy

"Yizha, follow us to the Dingguo Mansion!"

Zhu Di hurriedly shouted.

Wang Zhen was stunned.

Yisha hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di had already gotten up and walked out.

Yisha and Wang Zhen hurriedly followed.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

As soon as Zhu Gaochi walked into the gate of the palace, he saw Zhu Di who came out of it with a hurried face, and immediately hurriedly saluted.

"Blazing?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then said with some doubts: "That sweet potato is not ripe?"

Father knows?

Zhu Gaochi was shocked in his heart, and immediately noticed Wang Zhen who was following Zhu Di, and instantly understood.

"Back to my father, the sweet potatoes are ripe!"

"Mature?"

Zhu Di's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but wonder even more, "So, why did you come back so soon?"

"Congratulations to my father!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said.

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's expression narrowed slightly, staring at Zhu Gaochi tightly.

"The sweet potato, already dug out?"

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Father Emperor Shengming!"

Zhu Di inexplicably gave birth to a nameless anger in his heart, and his brows furrowed slightly, "How much has been planed out?"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Back to my father, one box will be dug out of twenty-six catties and three taels, and one box will be dug out of twenty-six catties and one tael!"

"Twenty-six pounds and three taels, twenty-six pounds and one tael?"

Zhu Di thought for a moment and nodded slowly, but he didn't fail to react to the meaning behind this number.

But.

In the end, it was the Ming Emperor, and he continued to ask: "You and Dingguo Gong can have it, how much can this kind of sweet potato yield per mu?"

Zhu Gaochi said, "Dad, the child is estimated to produce ten stones per mu!"

"Hmm...... Huh?"

Zhu Di was startled, staring at Zhu Gaochi tightly, his eyes wide, "What are you estimating ten stones?"

Zhu Gaochi said lightly: "Dad, the child estimates that the minimum yield per mu is ten stones, and if the land is fertile, the yield can be even higher!"

"Are you sure it can really reach ten stones?"

Zhu Di was still a little incredulous, it was ten stones!

Even if you don't want ten stones, as long as you produce nine stones per mu, or eight stones or seven stones, it will be a great blessing for the thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty.

At least, no one in the Ming Dynasty will ever go hungry again.

On the side, Wang Zhen, Yishiha and others were also full of disbelief, trembling slightly, staring at Zhu Gaochi tightly, extremely excited.

Ten stones of grain per mu?

If this is planted in Daming, how can Daming still lack food?

"Dad, the sweet potatoes planted in such a large wooden box can be dug out of twenty-six catties of sweet potatoes, so if you plant one acre of sweet potatoes, even if it is not so dense, it will not be so fertilized, but it will definitely be able to dig out ten stones of sweet potatoes?"

"Ten stones, I will definitely be able to dig ten stones of sweet potatoes!"

Zhu Di nodded heavily, and shouted, "Let's go, let's go to the Dingguo Mansion, let's see those sweet potatoes in person!"

"Such a blessing of bread will certainly not be ......"

Let Guo thief steal so many because of greed!

Zhu Di didn't say the latter words.

However, Zhu Gaochi, Wang Zhen and others all vaguely guessed.

"Yes, Daddy!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly responded.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Yizha suddenly noticed that a group of familiar officials hurriedly walked over not far away, their eyes shrunk, and they hurriedly stepped forward to remind.

"It seems that the head of the household department and the secretary department are coming here!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Di was startled, and hurriedly looked in the direction that Yishu pointed.

Sure enough, Yu Xin, the head of the household department, and the secretary of the department were in a hurry, and walked straight towards them

It must be for the wealth and food that the prince brought back!

Zhu Di sighed slightly in his heart, but this time, Yu Xin, the head of the household, also saw them, and wanted to avoid them, but it was too late!

"Weichen Hubu Shangshu Yuxin see Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"The Ministry of Micro Ministers and Ministers is still violent, see Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Two of you, please get up!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly, glanced at Zhu Gaochi again, and said to the two: "I have something important with the prince, and I am going to go out of the palace.

Your Majesty wants to hide!

Yu Xin's eyelids trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen also has a big event!"

Although Storm Zhao didn't speak, his expression was also firm.

Anyway, as the matter of Songjiang Mansion began to end, he, the secretary of the ministry, no longer had the shame to be in office.

Now, let's do the last important thing for Daming!

Zhu Di said: "My trip is about the stomachs of thousands of people in the world, and it is about the major affairs of the country, I don't know what is the important matter of the two Qing families?"

Yu Xin glanced at it slightly, and the violent Zhao on the side also bowed with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, Weichen's trip is also for the stomach of tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a major event for the country!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di's expression was restrained, staring at Yu Xin, his expression was very serious, "I don't know what happened to Yu Qing's family?"

Yu Xin arched his hand towards Zhu Di, and said very seriously: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is the matter of Songjiang Mansion this time.

This time, Songjiang Prefecture confiscated nearly 100 grain chiefs and corrupt officials, and confiscated countless grains and money.

However, Wechen sent his subordinate officials to receive it, and it had already been taken over by the Praetorian Guards......

「…… Your Majesty, the money obtained by the corrupt officials and corrupt officials should be confiscated and used by the household department for those people...... Especially those grains, this year, it is the great drought in the north of the Ming Dynasty......

On the side, Storm Zhao nodded again and again.

Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly, "It turns out that this is the case, I already have a better use for all that money and food!"

Yu Xin and Storm Zhao were shocked1

Heart, sure enough!

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, where are you going to use all that money and food?"

Zhu Di smiled lightly, "The two Qing families, do you still remember the sweet potatoes and corn that the Dingguo Gong sent people to retrieve from overseas, these grains of Daming Furui?"

"Back to Your Majesty, these two kinds of food, Weichen remembers!"

Yu Xin nodded subconsciously.

After all, at that time, these two kinds of grain were boiling over from Jingshi.

Zhu Di said again: "Now, the three wooden boxes of sweet potatoes are ripe!"

"Mature?"

Yu Xin and Storm Zhao couldn't help but light up in their eyes.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what the yield of those three boxes of sweet potatoes is?"

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth curled slightly, "One box produces thirty-seven catties, and one box produces thirty-eight catties!"

"Yu Qing's family, Tyrant Qing's family, those wooden boxes are all big wooden boxes for goods, can the two of you calculate, if you plant an acre of fertile land like this, how many sweet potatoes can be harvested?"

"A box of 37 pounds ......"

Yu Xin and Storm Zhao directly pondered.

Immediately, the more they thought about it, the brighter their eyes became, and in the end, they both trembled directly, and their faces were full of shock.

Yu Xin stared at Zhu Di tightly, full of disbelief, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to produce twelve stones per mu?"

On the side, Tyrant Zhao also nodded excitedly, and the result he calculated was also like this.

"Twelve stones?"

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others couldn't help but be surprised again.

"Exactly!"

Yu Xin nodded again and again, staring at Zhu Di tightly, "Dare to ask Your Majesty."

Now, I wonder how many seeds these sweet potatoes can have, and how many acres of sweet potatoes can be planted?"

"I don't know!"

Zhu Di shook his head slightly.

Yu Xin was suddenly anxious, "Your Majesty doesn't know?"

"Hmm!"

Seeing Yu Xin and Violent Zhao like this, Zhu Di was in a good mood.

"I was about to go to the Dingguo Mansion to check, and the two Aiqing came to find me!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, and Weichen is willing to go to the Dingguo Mansion with Your Majesty!"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, Weichen also wants to go to the Dingguo Mansion to see with his own eyes, what is the appearance of sweet potatoes, the grain of Furui?"

Zhu Di was not in a hurry, and asked slowly, "The two Qing families have agreed, and the grain and money in Songjiang Mansion will be handled by me?"

Yu Xin and Storm Zhao couldn't help but look at Zhu Di, angry in their hearts, how could this be?

It's just that if Daming really has a grain that can produce twelve stones per mu, this is worth far more than the money and grain of a hundred Songjiang Mansions!

After thinking about it for a moment, Yu Xin was ruthless in his heart and nodded slightly.

"If I have grain that can yield twelve stones per mu, the grain and money in Songjiang Mansion, how Your Majesty wants to use it for the people, you will use it for Your Majesty, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will never interfere!"

"The Ministry of Micro Ministers will never interfere!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "In this way, the two Qing families will follow me and go to the Dingguo Mansion to see what is going on!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A group of people hurriedly walked towards the Dingguo Mansion.

……

At the same time.

In the Dingguo Mansion, Guo An had already finished washing, lying on a rattan chair with a lazy face, and asked Guo Ang.

"Guo Ang, just now, what was wrong with your scales?"

Guo Ang, who was standing quietly on the side, was directly frightened by Guo An's words and knelt on the ground, his face full of panic.

"Master, when the villain weighed the sweet potatoes just now, he weighed them twice in a row, and there was absolutely no mistake!"

"Not bad for one or two?"

Guo An couldn't help but ask again.

Guo Ang looked sure, "Master, one or two are not bad!"

Guo An's face sank directly.

"You, this scale, you can guarantee that the scale rod is always in the flattest place?

Or did you remove all the weight of the basket and did not miscalculate?"

Hearing this, Guo Ang was shocked, looked at Guo An with a solemn face, and a strange thought flashed in his mind.

After being stunned for a moment, he asked a little tentatively, "Master, the villain should have made a mistake just now?"

"That's pretty much it!"

Guo An nodded seriously, "Sometimes, you can't be too confident.

Especially for weighing things, I still have to weigh so many portions, and I have to subtract the weight of the basket, and I have to ensure that the scale rod is the flatest!"

"That's exactly what the lord said!"

Guo Ang hurriedly nodded in response.

Guo An looked up and said in a low voice, "In this way, you go to those two piles of sweet potatoes, pick out a small sweet potato each, hide it on your body, and don't let anyone see it."

Take it to the back kitchen, make a fire, wash one piece, put it directly into a bowl, and then put it in the pot and steam it for a quarter of an hour.

In addition, wrap another sweet potato in mud and put it in a pile of embers and roast it with a stick of incense......

"This ......"

Guo Ang was shocked, "Master, these sweet potatoes are all the grain of Ming Furui, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also specially explained it......

"As long as you don't say it, who knows?"

Guo An stared at Guo Ang tightly, "Moreover, do you know that although this sweet potato can be eaten, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty has eaten it.

If I don't try to eat it first, how do I know that this sweet potato can be used as food?"

"It's hard to make those people work hard to bring sweet potatoes back from overseas

After it is well cultivated, I don't know what its effect is.

Your Majesty and I tried the corn, but luckily the corn tasted excellent!

Now, I'll leave this sweet potato to try alone......

By all means, wait for His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come, if the sweet potatoes taste very bad and are poisonous, then will I not become a sinner through the ages?"

"This ......"

Guo Ang was stunned for a moment, although Guo An said it very sincerely, he always felt that something was wrong!

Guo An's eyes bulged, and he urged, "What are you still doing in a daze, do you want me to go in person?"

Guo Ang hurriedly answered, and walked outside quickly, "Yes, master!"

When taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the two Yanshan guards, he took the two smallest sweet potatoes and went to the back kitchen, Guo Ang remembered something and paused.

Since the old man doesn't know the taste and efficacy of sweet potatoes, why does he know how to cook these sweet potatoes?

Moreover, before, it seems that the old man also said that sweet potatoes are soft and glutinous and sweet!

This......

Alas!

Guo Ang sighed slightly, then raised his steps again and walked to the back kitchen.

……

It will.

Outside the Dingguo Mansion, several figures suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yan Shanwei, who was guarding the door, saw Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others, and hurriedly opened the door, and saluted respectfully at the same time.

"The villain sees His Majesty, and sees His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Can the Dingguo Gong be in the mansion?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Grandpa is resting in the main hall!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and walked into the mansion!

However, instead of going to the main hall, he went straight to the back garden.

See here.

A Yan Shanwei hurriedly ran to the main hall.

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Looking at Yan Shanwei with an anxious face, Guo Anxin was shocked, could it be that Guo Ang was not doing well and was discovered?

"Grandpa, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have come down!"

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?"

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously glanced behind Yan Shanwei, but he didn't see any figure.

"Where is Your Majesty?"

"Back to Grandpa, Your Majesty went directly to the back garden!"

"Went straight to the back garden?"

Guo An was startled again, quickly got up, and walked to the back garden.

……

In the back garden, Zhu Di stood in front of two piles of sweet potatoes with a happy face.

"Prince, these are the harvested sweet potatoes?"

"Back to my father, it is the sweet potato that the child and the Duke of Dingguo dug out of the two wooden boxes respectively!"

Saying that, Zhu Gaochi's brows furrowed slightly, how did he feel, there seemed to be something wrong with these sweet potatoes.

However, after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything wrong.

"These are sweet potatoes?"

On the side, Yu Xin and Bang Zhao looked at the two piles of purple-red sweet potatoes on the ground, full of anticipation.

"Exactly!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly again and said, "Duke Yu, Tyranny, these two piles of sweet potatoes, one pile of twenty-six catties and one tael, and one pile of twenty-six catties and three taels!"

At this time, Zhu Di had already walked in front of another intact wooden box.

"Prince, are the sweet potatoes in this wooden box ripe?"

"Back to my father, I'm ripe!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di looked overjoyed, and then couldn't help but glance in the direction he came, his brows furrowed slightly.

"It's been so long, why hasn't the Duke of Dingguo come yet?"

On the side, Xu Yong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty forgives me, and the last general will send someone to urge you!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di

Nodding, he asked again, "How do you dig out the sweet potatoes in this wooden box?"

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Grandpa directly used steel knives to cut off the circle of wooden strips around the outside of the wooden box, and then directly dismantled the wooden box, and after the soil inside was dispersed, the sweet potatoes were automatically exposed!"

"I see!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then continued to return to the two piles of sweet potatoes and looked at them.

After a while, Zhu Di suddenly asked, "But someone took some sweet potatoes from here without permission?"

Xu Yong and the surrounding Yan Shanwei were all taken aback, and hurriedly said.

"Back to Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes have been left here to dry since they were dug out.

Moreover, there have always been Yanshan guards guarding this place, and no one has come to take these sweet potatoes without permission!"

"No one? ……」

Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly.

Xu Yong, Zhu Gaochi and others couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

I just wanted to say something, but I saw Guo An walking over in a hurry.

"Weichen see Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness the Prince, and see Duke Yu and Tyrant!"

Zhu Di chuckled, "I heard that the sweet potatoes were ripe, and I was so excited that I came uninvited, Guo Qing is not to blame!"

"We're terrified!"

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can come to the Weichen Mansion, and it is very rude for the Weichen to be unable to greet him from afar!"

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An lightly, and said, "I also want to dig a box of sweet potatoes myself!"

"This box of sweet potatoes was left by Weichen for His Majesty!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di took the steel knife from Xu Yong's hand, and after a few knives, the wooden box was directly torn apart, and the mounds inside were also scattered.

Reveal a nest of sweet potatoes.

"And so it was!"

Zhu Di, Yu Xin, Tyrant Zhao and others couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts.

"Bring me the scales!"

Zhu Di shouted again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo An commanded a servant on the side.

Soon, the scale was brought over again.

This time, it was weighed by Zhu Di himself!

Half an hour later.

Zhu Di, Yu Xin, Storm Zhao and others were stunned again.

"Twenty-six pounds and six taels?"

"This ...... Your Majesty, this sweet potato can definitely yield 12 stones, or even 13 stones!"

Yu Xin's face flushed with excitement.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is the blessing of thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty, and it is also the blessing of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, with this Furui food, I will no longer be short of food!"

"Your Majesty will be the Holy King of the Ages......

Zhu Di also looked happy.

"Guo Qing, these sweet potatoes are the food of Furui that my people can fill their stomachs, and there must be no mistakes, especially a sweet potato, which cannot be taken away secretly!"

Zhu Gaochi and Yu Xin also looked at Guo An.

Guo An sneered, "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, I didn't expect that this can't be hidden from Your Majesty's eyes!"
