Chapter Seventy-One: Corn Corn

After Zhu Song left the bedroom, he came outside, and at this moment, everyone in the mansion was very happy, and soon there was the first little prince in the palace, maybe it was a small county lord.

King Han is also generous and interesting enough, and after learning that the princess was happy, he immediately ordered all the subordinates in the family to be rewarded with a little silver.

This amount of silver is small in Zhu Song's eyes, only five taels of silver, but in the eyes of the family members of the palace, it is a lot of money.

The princess is happy, according to the rules, Zhu Song should hand the old man a fold, and report that the princess is happy, and the old man is going to have a grandson again.

Zhu Song had nothing to do anyway, and the snow in the sky was still falling, so Zhu Song came to the study, opened the recital, and told him about the current situation of Kaiyuan.

This winter, it seems that there is no second one who dares to invade except for the one who broke in at that time.

Those Yuan people on the grassland generally try their best to grab food from the Han people in winter, but now the northern Xinjiang, especially the places bordering the grassland, have sent princes to guard it, and those Yuan people don't have the courage to come over even if they want to.

Once they entered the domain, the vassal kings would be like cats seeing mice, and immediately send troops or personally go into battle to fight these yuanren.

It is said that the prince is still alive now, and the eldest is King Yan, and King Yan is the enemy of the three armies in Beiping, which prince does not want to touch this glory?

Zhu Song almost explained the situation of Kaiyuan, said the key points, and wrote the happy things of the wonderful relatives to the end of the recital, and there was only one sentence.

Zhu Song didn't believe that the old man would have the excitement of being a grandfather for the first time, more than 20 sons, he was still the twentieth son, and the joy of being a grandfather was almost excited.

After writing the fold, Zhu Song handed it to the butler in the royal mansion, asking him to find Lao Cao tomorrow, and asked Lao Cao to send someone to send this fold to the Jingshi again, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, how to let the family at home to talk about the New Year.

……

Three months later.

When the spring flowers were blooming, Zhu Song was excited for three months, took the corn seeds, and ran to the north of Kaiyuan City early in the morning, and he had already left the land.

This corn should be planted in the soil without any problems, but Zhu Song was still cautious, only used half of the corn seeds, and planted the corn grain by grain according to the memory that he had been better than nothing in his previous life.

The corn must be separated by one or two fists, and Zhu Song has no experience, so one ridge is separated by one fist, and the other ridge is separated by two fists, and it looks almost the same.

Zhu Song re-buried the soil little by little, and then ordered someone to start watering, and he had to personally see each piece, when to start watering, when to harvest, and how much water to be watered Zhu Song had to personally check it.

Less than half an acre of land, I was busy for almost a whole day.

It's not that Zhu Song works too slowly, it's the first time I've tried to plant corn, and I can't do it at all.

Seeing that half an acre of corn was planted, Zhu Song breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, Zhu Song crawled out of the quilt every day before the chickens crowed, rode out of the city with people, and came all the way to the cornfield he had cultivated.

On the first day, there was nothing, on the second day, there was nothing, and on the fifteenth day, there was nothing, and the food crops planted next to it had already begun to sprout.

Zhu Song sighed in his heart, could it be that these corn seeds can't sprout?

Just when Zhu Song was disheartened, he suddenly heard a sergeant shouting loudly in the distance.

"Your Highness! Your Highness has grown a seedling, and there is a seedling growing here! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Song carried his clothes and hurriedly ran over, and when he got closer, Zhu Song came to the side with a sliding shovel, looking at the green shoots that had just emerged, and he was very excited.

"Great, great, finally budding! But isn't one too little, is this one seed alive? ”

Zhu Song frowned, and the stone that had just been put down in his heart was lifted again.

But fortunately, in the next few days, the corn in the corn field sprouted one after another, and some of them still did not move, but very few accounted for about 30%.

It's good to be able to grow seventy percent, and now this first level is barely over, and when it matures in autumn, the corn will slowly grow, and then see how big the corn on the cob is and how the yield is.

Compared with corn, in fact, the higher yield than corn is sweet potato, that is, sweet potato, but it is a pity that Hu Shang only left last year, even if it is fast this time, it will be slow for a year and a half, and it may not be able to come back for three or four years.

The most important thing is that those Hu merchants listened to Zhu Song's description of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they were all confused one by one, and the potatoes were fortunately seen, but none of the Hu merchants had seen the sweet potatoes.

Zhu Song vaguely remembered that when sweet potatoes were introduced, it was probably more than 100 years later, and more than 100 years later, potatoes and sweet potatoes were introduced successively, which can be regarded as taking root and sprouting in the land of China.

And potatoes and sweet potatoes are said to have been found in some small countries in Southeast Asia, could it be that he found these two things wrong, shouldn't he expect Hu Shang to go to the Western Regions to find them?

That night, Zhu Song thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason, things were done one by one, and the road had to be taken step by step, and the caravan was temporarily started.

The caravan went from south to north, from west to east, and when they gradually walked away, they saw more things, and maybe they could really take some shit luck, and if they brought back sweet potatoes and potatoes, it would be a high incense!

Zhu Song stretched his waist, and just as he was about to go back to rest, he suddenly heard shouting outside.

"Report! Oh no! Oh no, Your Highness! There is news from Beijing that the emperor is no longer good! ”

Zhu Song almost fell off the steps when he heard this.

"What do you say? The emperor is not good? What's wrong with it? ”

The subordinate man cried with a sad face: "Your Highness, the emperor is no longer good, there is news from Beijing, let the vassal kings from all over the country enter Beijing as soon as possible and report the funeral!" ”

Zhu Song held on to the pillar next to him, and the subordinates on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Song, Zhu Song only felt that his eyes were dark, and this day came so quickly.

"Quick, prepare the horses! On the road on the starry night, this king wants to enter Beijing! ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Song staggered outside, and at this moment, the old father-in-law, who had received the news and had already moved out in Kaichun, suddenly ran back in a hurry.

"Your Highness, I heard that the emperor is no longer good?"
