"Goo-dong!"

Looking at the big stick thicker than his arm, Zhu Gaoyu swallowed his saliva and looked at the old man with a sad face.

"Dad, we have an agreement, didn't we all say it at the beginning, this is written in black and white, we have written it one by one."

The old man raised his eyebrows, squatted down again and looked at Zhu Gaoyu.

"Who told you?"

"Where's the agreement?"

"Who can testify to you?"

"Who would dare to testify against you?"

asked four questions in a row, and Zhu Gaoyu listened to it with itchy teeth.

When he sees the benefits, he turns his face, and if he doesn't give it, he threatens, this old man doesn't want any face at all.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to let the ship with silver come over.

Otherwise, not only will I not be able to get the money, but the military power I want will probably fly away.

"My mother can testify, she is our witness."

Zhu Gaoyu moved out of the old lady directly.

Seeing that this stinky boy moved out of his daughter-in-law, the old man's face darkened, and he said stinkingly: "Don't scare me with your mother." ”

"Stinky boy, don't blame me, this old man, for not giving you a chance."

"Honestly take the money, and our two accounts will be written off."

"Otherwise, you don't want to get out of bed before the Chinese New Year."

Lifting the stick and pressing it on Zhu Gaoyu's shoulder, the old man gave an ultimatum.

"Your Majesty, who do you want to make you unable to get out of bed?"

Just when Zhu Gaoyu looked helpless, and the old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, showing smugness, Queen Xu's voice sounded at the door.

A smile froze on his face.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Gaoyu's mouth, and he raised his eyebrows defiantly at the old man.

"Mother!"

The two fools who blocked the door hurriedly got out of the way and saluted Queen Xu.

Empress Xu, who walked in, glanced at the two brothers and snorted lightly.

"I'll settle accounts with you two later!"

The two brothers' faces instantly became bitter, and they looked at the old man with resentment.

In Daming, the old man wanted to beat the two brothers, and the mother interceded.

If the old lady wants to beat the two of them, absolutely no one will dare to object, and the old man will even take action himself, and he will not ask the reason.

"That's... Miaoyun ...... We didn't say who we were going to hit, we just scared this stinky boy. ”

Glaring at Zhu Gaoyu, the old man greeted his wife with a smile.

"Let's be angry when we talk about it, this stinky boy dares to be greedy for our money, you said that if you want to forget it."

"But this kid is really black-hearted, he actually ate all of us, and he is not afraid of dying."

Walking up to his wife, the old man sued as soon as he opened his mouth.

Empress Xu glanced at him helplessly, stepped forward and pulled Zhu Gaoyu up, and said to the old man while helping him pat the dust:

"You are really, you promised the child and regretted it, if it were me, I wouldn't want to."

"We didn't say anything about repentance..."The old man hurriedly defended: "We're just afraid that the child will spend money indiscriminately, and you know what the situation in the court is now, there are priorities..."

Empress Xu bowed slightly.

She naturally knew her husband's difficulties, if she didn't really have no money, the emperor of a country would not be so disrespectful.

"I discussed with my son, and there are still 2.1 million taels in cash, so I asked him to take out 2 million taels, and the remaining 100,000 taels will be used as hard work for him."

Zhu Gaoyu was just about to open his mouth, but Queen Xu glanced at him and closed his mouth honestly.

As soon as he heard that there were 2 million taels, the old man's eyes lit up instantly.

According to historical records, the Ming Dynasty has an annual income of tens of millions, but in fact, this is only a calculated record.

80% of the tax is in kind or treasure money, and the real cash is very little.

Don't look at it, it's only 2 million taels, but in the hands of the imperial court, it can play a value of tens of millions of taels.

The reason is also very simple.

Except for foreign countries, which imperial court let its own people do things, and pay the money all at once.

"But there is a premise for this, what you promised, you must do."

Just when the old man was thinking about how to spend the 2 million taels, Queen Xu spoke again and reminded her of the agreed matter.

"This ......"

The old man hesitated.

When he promised Zhu Gaoyu to complete the task, he gave him the power to form the Daming Ocean Sailor, completely because he felt that Zhu Gaoyu could not complete the task.

A child who has never left home since he was a child, how can he have any business acumen, it would be good not to lose money.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoyu really had such a brain.

Not only did he not lose money, but he also made a lot of money.

This made the old man a little embarrassed, and it was a little difficult to ride a tiger for a while.

Come on, he's a little worried.

After all, the sailor is related to the water defense force of the Ming Dynasty, and if one is not done well, it will have a great impact on the imperial court.

Don't give it.

It is clearly written in black and white, and if he refuses again, it will not only damage his image in the eyes of his son, but also hurt his wife's heart.

At the same time, he was still a little curious.

What he worries about, his smart wife will not understand.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoyu mastered the water master, which would make him think differently and seriously affect the status of the boss.

The daughter-in-law who has always supported the eldest suddenly changed her mind to support the fourth.

As the so-called husband and wife are concentric, what the old man is thinking in his heart, Queen Xu just glanced at it and knew it.

She didn't explain first, but beckoned to Jasper, who was standing in the doorway.

Jasper, who was standing at the door, walked in with a tray in her hand.

Under the puzzled eyes of the old man and the two stupid sons, Queen Xu uncovered the red cloth on the tray, revealing a few large onions inside.

"What is this? How come I haven't seen it? ”

The old man picked one up curiously, turned it upside down, and sniffed it again.

The eyes couldn't help but squeeze hard.

The taste is a little weird, and it's also a little pungent and spicy to the eyes.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was standing beside Queen Xu and was a good baby, saw this scene and pouted speechlessly.

Can you put the peeled and opened onion in front of your eyes without dazzling it?

"It's called onion, and it's a new vegetable that my son found from overseas."

"Oh, it turned out to be a vegetable."

As soon as he heard that it was a vegetable, the old man's newly raised interest disappeared in an instant.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate this vegetable, do you know how much it yields per acre."

Seeing that the old man was no longer interested, the corners of Queen Xu's mouth brought a light smile, remembering her gaffe when she learned about the yield of this thing, and decided to make her husband embarrassed.

"How much can this be, is it more than a turnip."

The Ming Dynasty was not without high-yielding vegetables, and radish was one of them.

It's just that because of seedlings and chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the yield is not as high as in later generations.

According to Zhu Gaoyu's knowledge, the radish produced in the Ming Emperor's field, because there is a special person to take care of the insects, is planted in the field, and the application is also high-grade fertilizer, and the yield per mu is about 2,000 catties.

And ordinary farmers, because of the land and fertilizer and care, can only barely reach a thousand catties.

It is also for this reason that the ancients never thought that radish was a high-yield crop, but only thought that it produced a little more than ordinary grain, and that's it.

"Taller than turnips!"

The smile on the corner of Empress Xu's mouth became even stronger.

"How much?"

The old man was curious, picked up the onion and looked at it again.

"According to my son, this thing can yield four to seven thousand catties per mu!"

"What!"

The old man jumped up all at once, and the onion in his hand almost fell to the ground.

God, the yield per mu is four to seven thousand catties, if this can be grown, even if it is not a staple food, in the year of famine, it can also make the people survive.

Now the old man's only worry is whether the onion will be like a radish.

There is a good saying: If you die poor, you don't plow people's fields, and you don't go to the radish garden when you starve to death.

If this onion is the same as a radish, it will help people digest it, and they will produce greater hunger, and even eat it every day, and they will also have diarrhea and edema.

No matter how high the output of this thing is, for Da Ming, it is just to add another dish to the table.

If Zhu Gaoyu knew the old man's worries, he would definitely smile disdainfully.

Onions don't stop hunger, what a joke.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't know about other vegetables, but he knew very well about onions.

You know, he's a man who's seen Game of Thrones.
