Chapter 359: Corn Harvest

"That's it, wait until you think of what you want, and then tell this king, and this king will definitely do it for you within his ability."

Ye Biqing's eyes darkened, but it was fleeting, and good dishes were not afraid of being late.

"Okay, then the humble post is waiting, it's not early, the humble post will retire first, Your Highness will rest early, pay attention to your body."

Ye Biqing left, walking very resentfully, Zhu Song looked at his back, only felt that she was like a little girl who was just starting to fall in love, giving everything for the man she loved but getting nothing, and she did feel a little guilty about Ye Biqing in her heart.

"Feelings..."

As soon as a few months passed, spring began to begin soon, and Zhu Song's second-ripe corn of the year had already grown, and Zhu Song looked at the corn cob in his hand that was not quite the same as he imagined in his later life.

"Are all corn cobs that big? Abbas and this king described this corn cob as at least one and a half long, and much thicker than this. ”

The chief flag officer, who was in charge of guarding the cornfields, quickly explained.

"Your Highness, these corns grow naturally, and if there are weeds in the ground, the brothers will immediately clean up, and the old people in the village will occasionally come to see and give advice, and the two corns we have grow together, and the old people will let one of the small ones be broken, lest the other corn plant also grow badly."

"When it doesn't rain in the sky, the brothers will carry water to water the cornfield, and we have also bought dung in the village to fertilize, Your Highness, shouldn't this thing look like this?"

"Not really, but ......"

When Zhu Song said this, he suddenly remembered that the corn cobs of later generations were all varieties that had been improved and crossed over several generations, and the yield and size of the cob were naturally much higher than the current one.

The corn planted on this acre of land, and the land next to it is all wheat, and Zhu Song can't immediately calculate how much this acre of land produces now? Is there a gap between the yield per mu and the yield of 1,000 catties?

Zhu Song came to work today, so he put on a coarse cloth clothes, put the corn cob on the ground behind him, and immediately began to tuck the hem of the clothes into the belt around his waist, spit two mouthfuls into the palm of his hand, rubbed it, picked up a special sickle, picked up his arms and began to harvest.

The Jinyi guards who came also followed the back of King Han's ass and began to cut the corn stalks, and dozens of people quickly harvested the corn from an acre of land, Zhu Song commanded the Jinyi guards to carry the straw out with him, and then broke off all the corn cobs on the stalks.

The corn cobs were all put on the ox cart, and before one cart was enough, one cart or two carts of golden yellow corn were found, and they returned to Beijing with Zhu Song.

Along the way, many people were curious to see what was in this ox cart. That thing looks like a fruit and like gold, could it be that the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital now like to make gold bars look like this?

Zhu Song returned home and instructed the people to unload the corn cob, and then took out an iron skewer and began to insert it in the gap between the corn kernels and the corn kernels, so that the corn on both sides could fall off under pressure.

Zhu Song's whole family went into battle together, and it was probably a rarity, after all, who had ever seen this thing like corn at this time? Concubine Zhao threw the county lord to the wet nurse, and Xiao Shizi also put down the mud that she usually likes to play with and the books that her mother forced to read, and also rolled up her arms and sleeves, sat next to her father and began to rub corn.

"Miss, it seems to be lively outside, let's go out and have a look, I heard that His Royal Highness King Han pulled two carts, I don't know what it is back, it looks very beautiful!"

Qiu Yue looked at Xu Miaojin with blank eyes.

Xu Miaojin knew about the corn, although he was also curious about what that thing looked like, but he didn't have the heart to go out and mix with them, he just wanted to study.

"It's just corn, what's there to see?"

"Has Miss ever seen corn?"

Xu Miaojin was stunned and shook his head after hearing this: "I haven't heard anyone say that it is something that can be eaten, it is estimated that it is similar to rice and wheat!" ”

Qiu Yue pouted: "It's different from rice and wheat, I heard from the people in the house, that thing is golden, and it is a grain that grows on the core, and the people thought that the core inside was for food at first, and some people picked up the core and stuffed it into their mouths, but it turned out that it was not delicious at all." ”

Even though Xu Miaojin was not interested, but now listening to Qiu Yue's description, she was also curious, what core can't be eaten, but she has to eat the skin outside.

Xu Miaojin pouted and slapped the book on the table.

"You, you, I'm in a bad mood to read at this point! Let's go, let's go, let's go check it out and see if we can help!" ”

"Hee-hee, Miss is the best!"

Xu Miaojin took Qiuyue away from the small courtyard and came to the middle courtyard, only to see a large group of people surrounding the golden mountains piled up like a hill, and began to rub the fruits on it, and there was a basin in front of everyone, and the grain fell into the basin like this, making a crisp rustling sound.

"Gold is like gold, this is corn? He's pretty good at names. ”

Xu Miaojin said, couldn't help but look like Zhu Song, and was surprised again, only to see Zhu Song wearing a coarse cloth short coat, and began to work hard to rub corn, looking at the vigorous work he was doing, it was really hard to imagine that dozens of princes in the whole world actually had such a son who got the true inheritance of Emperor Taizu.

Xu Miaojin approached and took a look, and at this moment, the princess noticed Xu Miaojin and got up in surprise and said.

"Sister Xu, did you hear the wind too? Come on, come on, it's the first time I've seen this kind of thing, Your Highness said that this thing can yield up to 1,000 catties per mu outside the Ming Dynasty, Your Highness wants to take a look today, whether this corn can really reach 1,000 catties! ”

"Thousands of catties per mu?"

Xu Miaojin looked at the corn in the princess's basin, and couldn't help but grab a handful, it was hard to touch in his hand, it looked beautiful, although it was beautiful, like topaz, but it really didn't taste very good.

"Just this thing, what's the use of producing thousands of catties per mu and no one eating it?"

When Zhu Song heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't look at this thing, the rice is also hard, and it is delicious after boiling with water, although this corn is not ripe, the ear of corn that Abbas brought to this king for the first time is delicious, but in the famine years, the corn of this acre of land is enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year and there is still a lot of surplus." ”

"During the famine, the common people were hungry to gnaw the bark, eat the Guanyin soil, put the bark and the Guanyin soil and this corn together, this king thinks that more people will choose to eat corn!"
