"But Your Highness, the villain came this time to report another good news!"

Shen Zhuang said again!

Guo An was stunned, "Another joy? ”

Shen Zhuang said: "Your Highness, it's potatoes and tomatoes!" ”

"Potatoes and tomatoes?"

Guo An got up in an instant and stared at Shen Zhuang with a look of anticipation.

"Did they really find the potatoes and tomatoes?"

"Back to Your Highness, the villain watched according to the drawings given by His Highness, it should be potatoes and tomatoes!"

Although his words were still a little uncertain, his expression was very confident.

"Moreover, the villain has already brought these two things!"

"Where?"

Guo An hurriedly asked.

Shen Zhuang said: "It's outside the house!" ”

"Let's go! I'll check it out! ”

Guo An walked out briskly.

Outside the Shunde Palace, a team of guards was surrounding six large wooden boxes.

Everyone, looking at the few green plants on the wooden box in the middle, was full of curiosity and excitement.

"See Your Highness!"

"See Your Highness!"

Suddenly, there were a few salutes, and all the guards suddenly looked solemn and hurriedly moved out of the way.

Guo An walked quickly, and the path that was only three people wide walked in, and came directly to the six large wooden boxes in the middle.

The familiar plants planted in two of the wooden boxes directly attracted Guo An's attention.

From the bottom to the top, there are layers of leaves that look like pampas fans, and among these large leaves, there are clusters of oval-shaped green leaves.

The most important thing is that at the rhizomes of these leaves, there are still strings of small red lanterns, pink lanterns, and green lanterns!

Smooth and lovely, it looks like a poisonous fruit!

"It's a tomato!"

Guo An was overjoyed, and looked at the plants on the two large wooden boxes on the side.

The leaves of the plants on these two wooden boxes are smaller than the tomato leaves on the side, and they are much smoother and rounder.

It's just that the leaves of these plants, which will have dried up a bit.

Thinking.

Guo An directly used his hands to pull up one plant.

Below, there are several round, fist-sized earthy yellow fruits.

On the side, Shen Zhuang, Xu Yong and other guards were all shocked.

"Your Highness, this is also a fruit?"

"Yes!"

Guo An nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"It's the same as sweet potatoes!"

"This can also be eaten?"

Xu Yong asked again.

"Yes!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then looked at Shen Zhuang on the side.

"This time, you've done a great job again! Sweet potatoes can't be eaten as a staple food yet, but potatoes can!

Moreover, it tastes much better than wheat and rice! ”

"An auspicious grain comparable to sweet potatoes?"

Shen Zhuang was suddenly overjoyed, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

Guo An said: "The most important thing is that these tomatoes are used to make vegetables, and when they are eaten as fruits, the taste is even more beautiful!" ”

"Cooking?"

Shen Zhuang's face stiffened directly.

Xu Yong was also nervous.

"Your Highness, the tomato looks so gorgeous, could it be some poisonous fruit? But do you want to take it and try it out? ”

"Poison fruit?"

Guo An shook his head directly, "You can rest assured, I can admit my mistakes in others, but tomatoes can't be wrong!" ”

As he spoke, Guo An couldn't help but think of the sweet and sour taste in his mind, as well as the various dishes made with tomatoes......

"Gollum~"

Subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Xu Yong, Shen Zhuang and the others couldn't help but look weird.

"Ahem......"

Guo An coughed lightly, and then said casually: "Xu Yong, first carry this box of tomatoes into the back garden!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong responded, and hurriedly arranged for a few guards to start carrying the tomato box.

Then, looking at the remaining large wooden boxes, he asked again: "Your Highness, what should I do with these remaining wooden boxes?" ”

"The potatoes in this box are all dug up and put in the back garden to dry.

As for the rest of the boxes......"

As he spoke, Guo An continued to look at the remaining two wooden boxes.

"Vomit ......"

In a wooden box, there were rotten and dried tomatoes.

The other one, with a box of potatoes inside.

However, the potatoes were also starting to rot, and even the few that were not rotten were already covered with purple shoots!

"Pick out all these potatoes with sprouts, cut them into cubes, sprout up, and bury them in the back garden!

Separation distance, like sweet potato! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong replied with a serious face.

"Plus! Send some people to take out these rotten tomatoes, wash them in dry soil, and pick out all the tomato seeds inside! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong hurriedly replied.

Guo An nodded slightly and walked directly to the back garden.

And this will.

In the back garden, those precious flowers and plants that have just been planted for less than a year are thrown aside like weeds.

Some of the guards, laboriously dry.

Liu Baiwei, the princess of Shunde County, Yuelan, the side concubine, as well as Guo Han, Guo Lu and others, all stood under the octagonal pavilion in the distance, looking at this scene with curiosity.

Seeing Guo An coming in, several people hurriedly greeted him.

"Daddy!"

"Your Highness!"

"Dad, what good things have you found again, why do you want to pull these flowers and plants that my mother just planted?"

"Yes, Dad, this time we have pulled out so much, our family has expanded a lot, but if we pull it out like this, our back garden will have to be pulled bald again!"

"If you kid chatter, I'll let you go in and pull the weeds!"

Guo An glared at Guo Lu fiercely, "How old is your kid, you are already so fat."

If you kid doesn't practice martial arts to lose weight, I'll control your kid's diet! ”

"Don't, Daddy......"

Guo Lu was suddenly shocked, not letting him eat those delicacies would not cost him his life.

"Dad, the child doesn't have enough strength now, and he can't beat the boys of the Xu family and the Li family, so he needs to eat more ......"

"As the second son of the king of Shunde County, you know how to fight all day long, and you are brave, do you want to be a vanguard general who obeys people's orders?"

Guo An hated that iron could not become steel, but he didn't bother to argue with Guo Lu.

This kid is unexpectedly solid.

If Zhu Gaochi was half so honest at the beginning, then he couldn't control it at all......

Thinking about it, Guo An shook his head slightly, not daring to continue thinking about it.

Immediately, he stepped forward directly and kicked Guo Lu on the buttocks, Guo Lu jumped a few steps forward directly, his face full of grievances.

"Dad, you can't tell me, just do it, I want to ......"

"Go, pull weeds, plough the ground."

Guo An ignored it and directly assigned: "These fields are all used to grow potatoes and tomatoes!"

Needless to say, potatoes don't taste as delicious as sweet potatoes.

However, tomatoes, whether eaten as fruits, stir-fried, boiled noodles, or hot pot, are a must! ”

"Really?"

Guo Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Guo An couldn't help but be angry again: "When did I lie to you kid when it comes to eating?" ”

"Hahaha, thank you Dad!"

Guo Lu was immediately overjoyed, and did not care about the fact that the garden was full of flowers and dust, jumped in directly, snatched the iron catalpa in the hand of a guard, and shoveled it.

On the side, Liu Baiwei and Yuelan looked at Guo Lu, who was working very energetically, and they were also speechless.

Could it be that the Guo family's bloodline inheritance is so powerful?

Even if he has become the second son of the king of Shunde County, he can get the title of general of Zhenguo when he is an adult.

But I didn't expect that I still like farming so much?

Then.

Xu Yong finally walked in with a team of guards, carefully carrying the large wooden box with the tomatoes.

Liu Baiwei, Yuelan and the others were suddenly full of curiosity.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"Tomato!"

Guo An smiled slightly, stepped forward directly, picked a red tomato with his hand, wiped it with his hand at will, and put it in his mouth.

"Your Highness, no!"

Xu Yong's face changed drastically.

On the side, Liu Baiwei and Yuelan also seemed to think of something, and they were shocked.

"Your Highness......"

It's a pity that they were still a step late, and the tomato had already entered Guo An's mouth.

Even, Guo An still enjoyed closing his eyes very much, and the aftertaste was endless.

“……”

All around, there was silence.

Everyone looked at Guo An with worried faces.

"Hiss......"

Suddenly, Guo An grinned and took a few quick puffs.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Someone, go get a doctor!"

Liu Baiwei, Xu Yong and the others suddenly changed their faces.

"No!"

Guo An hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.

Then, noticing the worried expressions of Liu Baiwei, Xu Yong and others, he smiled slightly and said, "It's just that the tomato is a little too sour, hiss...... It's been a long time...... I've experienced such sourness, and I can't help it! ”

"Your Highness is fine!"

Liu Baiwei, Xu Yong and others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Liu Baiwei said with some disgust: "How can Your Highness be so reckless, tomatoes look so bright and red, if they contain toxins, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Rest assured, girl!"

Guo An smiled lightly, "Those people in the fleet dare to bring these tomatoes back to Daming!"

When they are in the West, they will inevitably take a closer look at these tomatoes.

Even, they can try a few, they won't be poisonous! ”

"In this way, His Highness's identity should be respected, and he should be cautious."

Liu Baiwei was still a little worried and said.

Yuelan, Xu Yong and the others also nodded again and again.

Guo An hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time!" ”

“……”

Looking at Guo An's very perfunctory answer, Liu Baiwei, Yuelan and others couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

It just so happened that the housekeeper Guo Ang, who also walked in with a group of servants and a few baskets of potatoes.

"Your Highness, all the potatoes that can be planted have been selected!"

Guo An took a look, and he wasn't sure if these potatoes could be grown.

However, he waved his hand casually.

"Cut everything and throw it into the field they have put together!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo Angxing rushed to respond, just about to give an order, remembered something, and paused again, looking a little embarrassed.

"But forgive the sin, the villain doesn't know how to cut ......"

"Feel free!"

Guo An waved his hand directly, "Who knows if these potatoes can be grown?"

Just cut the shoots into a piece of potatoes about the size of your thumb, bury them in them, and water them a little more! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

At this time, Guo Ang understood, and hurriedly commanded a group of subordinates to start working.

As for fertilization?

In the back garden of the palace of Shunde County, every piece of land is the most fertile land in the world.

Of course, there may not be as fertile black soil as Liaodong!

Xu Yong asked again: "Your Highness, I don't know what to do with the two big boxes left outside the mansion?" ”

"The rest?"

Guo An woke up suddenly, and hurriedly said: "Quickly take people, load these two big boxes into the big carriage, follow us into the palace, and report the good news to Your Majesty!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong hurriedly responded.

Shen Zhuang, who had been following him and had not said a word, was also full of joy.

As long as the two big wooden boxes outside arrive at the gate of the palace, the credit of his Shen Zhuang will be presented to His Majesty again, in front of the whole world.

Even, if His Majesty is in a good mood, his viscount can be promoted to another level!

Thinking about it, Shen Zhuang couldn't help but be a little excited.

In this regard, Guo An was a little aware of this, glanced at it, and ignored it.

……

Wu Lou.

An official eunuch, with a happy face, ran over from a distance with fast steps.

Then, trot all the way into the main hall.

"Slave and maid, see Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Zhu Di, who was checking Wang Zhen's secret letter from Shandong, frowned slightly.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "The king of Shunde came to the palace with two large wooden boxes of plants, saying that it was the grain that the fleet brought back from the Western barbarians!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di got up in an instant and stared at the eunuch closely.

"The king of Shunde has given me the auspicious grain again?"

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the slave and maid don't know, but the king of Shunde County ......"

"Summoning the king of Shunde!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di said directly, "Let the king of Shunde bring in the two big wooden boxes as well!" ”

"Slave obeys!"

The eunuch hurriedly got up and walked out quickly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

In the hall, Yisha hurriedly congratulated with a happy face.

Zhu Di looked at Yi Lost, and asked slowly: "Do you also think that Guo Qing has found two kinds of auspicious food for our Daming?" ”

Yishuha hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of the County is not such a person who stirs up the people.

Now that there is such fanfare, something big must have happened. ”

"yes!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, with some expectation in his eyes.

"If this time, Guo Thief can find two kinds of auspicious grain for our Daming, then our Daming's Jiangshan Sheji will definitely be able to stabilize a few percent more!"

"Your Majesty, it must be ......"

Yisha hurriedly said auspicious words again.

However, this time Zhu Di didn't continue to say anything, but got up directly and walked out.

At the same time.

With a group of guards, Guo An, and the two large wooden boxes slowly walked in from outside the palace gate.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as the Yamen of the Sixth Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also heard some rumors, and they all hurriedly came out to watch.

Even, even Zhu Gaochi in Wenyuan Pavilion, as well as Zhu Fu, Fang Xiaoru and other seven cabinet ministers, also came out to watch.

"Your Royal Highness, what is this red fruit?"

"Your Royal Highness, what kind of treasure are these plants that are about to turn yellow?"

"His Royal Highness the King of the County......"

"Don't ask, you want to know what this is, when it comes to Your Majesty, I will explain!"

Guo An just arched his hand towards the surrounding Ming ministers, and walked forward quickly.

Around, a group of important ministers of the third and second grades of the Ming Dynasty, and even the first and super grades of the Ming Dynasty, just smiled helplessly and hurriedly followed.
