Chapter 174; Organize a group to go to Zhuangzi
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Ning Guogong's bearded black face was full of doubts, and he walked out of the line to the big bamboo basket, stretched out his foot and kicked it.
Seeing this, Fang Qiao hurriedly frowned and scolded; "Ning Guogong doesn't want to mess around, this is a precious thing."
As soon as they heard what he said, everyone turned their heads to look at Fang Qiao.
The next moment, I saw Fang Qiao turn around and smile and bow to Emperor Zhaowu; "Your Majesty, the contents of this bamboo basket are corn?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Zhaowu was surprised, and the others were stunned.
"What is corn?"
"Stupid, corn corn, as the name suggests, is rice made of jade."
"Rice made of jade? Joke, didn't you hear Lord Fang say that this thing is expensive just now? If this is really the case, can it be worthy of the word Jin Gui? ”
Although jade was also a relatively valuable thing in ancient times, it also had to be graded.
How big is the rice? If you use jade to make rice, isn't that just jade particles? These people are here, who hasn't ordered jade yet?
Just smash it, tinker with it, can't you make a bunch of it?
Naturally, it is not worth the word gold.
"Fang Xiucai, what is this corn?"
Ning Guogong looked at Fang Qiao and asked.
Although Fang Qiao's status is no longer what it used to be, Ning Guogong, as an old partner and old comrade-in-arms, still likes to call Fang Qiao another name back then.
This is also a unique way of getting along with these old brothers.
Fang Qiao was not surprised by this at all.
"How did Fang Aiqing know that there was corn in here?"
Emperor Zhaowu was also a little surprised.
"Yesterday, I went to the minister's mansion, and I mentioned one or two."
"I see."
Emperor Zhaowu nodded, then smiled; "Fang Aiqing is right, this is indeed corn."
As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the two guards below lifted the red silk, revealing the orange-yellow corn cob inside.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all frowned.
"It's not made of jade, is it?"
"It looks very ordinary, and I don't see anything expensive."
Ning Guogong stepped forward to take a piece of corn, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, and sniffed the smell, which was very unremarkable.
But he hadn't seen anything like it before.
"You know, this is food, a whole new kind of food."
As soon as Fang Qiao spoke, Ning Guogong's horse on the side laughed and said; "Is it food? Then I'll eat and see. ”
After that, he was about to put it in his mouth and gnaw it, but his action scared Fang Qiao a lot.
This is a thing that can produce thousands of catties per mu, and I don't know how many there are now, but these are all things that can be used as seeds, how can they be so wasted.
"Shut up, you horseman."
Fang Qiao hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the corn from Ning Guogong's hand, and protected it in his arms very preciously.
"What are you doing here? Doesn't the old man just try the taste, can he do this? Isn't there a lot more to that? ”
"If you want to try it too, just take one yourself."
"You bastard, do you know how precious this thing is?"
Fang Qiao glared at him with some anger, and then looked at Emperor Zhaowu, who at this time also smiled and said; "Fang Aiqing is right, this corn is indeed very precious."
"Ning Guogong, don't mess around."
With His Majesty speaking, Ning Guogong naturally would not continue, and honestly returned to the queue.
"Ji Guogong, let's introduce this corn to everyone."
Hearing this, Ji Guogong, who had never shown anything, arched his hand and slowly walked out of the queue.
took the corn from Fang Qiao's hand, looked around, and spoke; "The name of this thing is corn, and it is a brand new grain discovered by the little lady Zhaode County Lord, according to her, this thing came from far overseas, and she also got some seeds by chance."
"Last winter, everyone knew that Xiaonu had built a greenhouse and planted a lot of things, including this corn."
"The effect is good, so when she ploughed in the spring this year, she promoted it on her own village and planted hundreds of acres of corn."
Speaking of this, he paused, then turned around and arched his hand at Emperor Zhaowu, and continued; "Yesterday, the little girl invited the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty to Zhuangzi to witness the corn harvest."
"After repeated measurements and weighing, the yield per mu of corn has reached an astonishing amount of more than 1,000 gold."
As soon as these words came out, the entire court was silent, and even the most babbling Ning Guogong grew his mouth at this time.
After a while, he jumped out and pulled Huo Jingzhi and asked; "Lao Huo, are you wrong?"
What a terrible thing to produce 1,000 catties per mu.
Food has always been the top priority of the Yu Dynasty, and I wonder why these people would rise up and overthrow the previous dynasty, isn't it because they can't live without food?
If there was this mu of grain that yielded thousands of catties, why would they fight with their lives?
"I'm not wrong, you heard it right, this corn does yield 1,000 catties per mu, if you don't believe it, you can go to the little girl's Zhuangzi to verify it in person, it just so happens that the little girl's Zhuangzi has been harvesting these days."
As soon as his words fell, Fang Qiao hurriedly answered; "It's so good, seeing is believing."
Although he believes in Ji Guogong very much, this thing is indeed a little too much beyond the cognition of the big guys, just saying this, it must be difficult to believe.
Since there is still something that has not been collected, let's go and see for ourselves together.
Of course, he himself was very curious about how the corn was grown.
"There's nothing else going on today, so let's go and have a look."
As soon as Emperor Zhaowu spoke, everyone immediately agreed, this corn is a good thing, whether it can really reach an astonishing yield of 1,000 catties per mu, new grain alone is enough to attract attention, after all, one more kind of grain is also a good thing.
After a while, the Manchu Dynasty set off from the capital in a mighty manner, and such a scene shocked the people in the capital.
A lot of good people followed from a distance to watch the excitement behind him, and Emperor Zhaowu did not drive him away, but asked Gao Fu to spread the word, so that the big guys could follow along, but they should pay attention to safety.
Soon a group of hundreds of people fell to Huo Junyao's small imperial village, and suddenly saw so many people coming, and the people who were in charge of guarding this place were all shocked, but they quickly recognized the first few people.
Especially that dragon robe is too eye-catching.
At that moment, someone trotted into Zhuangzi to report.
Because they have been harvesting recently, Huo Junyao is also on Zhuangzi's side at this time, and when she heard the report, she was not surprised, as if she had expected it.
"Xiaochan, you take everything I said yesterday and prepare it."
Xiaochan nodded hurriedly and went to work with Forget Xia and Red Sleeves.
The astonishing yield of corn will inevitably attract the disbelief of others, and Emperor Zhaowu will inevitably let people come and see it with their own eyes.
So she instructed Xiaochan yesterday and asked her to prepare a lot of herbal tea with the women in the village.
"The courtiers have seen the emperor and the lords."
Emperor Zhaowu smiled and waved his hand to excuse her, while the adults behind him returned the salute.
