Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

The emperor's visit was private incognito and did not alert outsiders.

After entering the palace gate, Murong Jiu led the emperor and Concubine Qi straight to the direction of the glass shed.

Seeing the huge high shed, both the emperor and Concubine Qi were surprised.

"what is this?"

Murong Jiu introduced with a smile: "This is a glazed greenhouse, which can grow fruits and vegetables of opposite seasons. It was developed by a few old farmers invited by my son. Unexpectedly, it was really successful."

Sinong Jingniang and others in the glass shed have already learned about the Holy Driver and are kneeling and waiting outside.

Jun Yuyan had just returned home and had not yet changed into his court clothes, so he limped over hurriedly.

"My sons and ministers meet my father, the emperor, and my mother and concubine!"

"You came back just in time. Xiaojiu said you wanted to give me a surprise. I'm very curious. You can lead the way."

The emperor said with a smile. It could be seen that he was in a good mood after coming out, but he was still on guard. There were six Ouchi masters with him, and he also asked Jun Yuyan to go into the glass shed to prevent any plot.

Jun Yuyan chuckled lightly: "Originally, I wanted to tell my father about this surprise later, but I didn't expect that Ah Jiu suddenly brought my father and mother and concubine, which caught me off guard."

Murong Jiu said: "It's just a coincidence, Your Majesty, wasn't I invited into the palace by Concubine Qin today? I happened to meet my father. Seeing that my father was depressed in his heart, and the wind and cold kept coming back and forth, it was really worrying, so he thought Letting my father go out of the palace to relax will also advance the surprise we have prepared for him."

"I see, Ah Jiu is interested."

The emperor smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu is indeed thoughtful. When I came out of the palace, my mood became much more relaxed."

Concubine Qi Huang followed with a smile and said: "These two children are filial."

Jun Yuyan led the way, and the two imperial guards went in first, and then the emperor walked in.

Next came Emperor Qi’s noble concubine, with Murong Jiu walking at the end.

As soon as they entered, the emperor and Concubine Qi were surprised. They were filled with green plants with heavy fruits hanging on them, all of which they had never seen before.

"What are these red and green things?"

"This is the persimmon, which can be eaten raw or stir-fried. This is the chili pepper, which is used for seasoning. This is the kidney beans, this is the corn, and this is the white potato..."

Jun Yuyan carefully introduced every crop in the glass shed to the emperor and Concubine Qi.

Jing Niang came in with the washed and cut persimmons. Murong Jiu took a piece and took a bite first to show it to the Emperor Qi Huang, Concubine Qi, "This persimmon tastes sour, sweet and crisp, but only mature red persimmons can be eaten. .”

The two of them had never seen banana persimmons before. They had already cut them up, so they both reached out and tasted them.

The taste is indeed something I have never tasted before, a very special taste.

"You can also dip it in sugar and eat it."

Jun Yuyan took a piece and dipped it in sugar and ate it.

"Well! Your Majesty, the ones dipped in sugar taste better!"

Imperial Concubine Qi loves sweets, so she ate a piece and felt that it would suit her taste better.

The emperor tasted it, nodded in praise, and couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

He had a bad appetite. He only drank a little porridge in the morning. He didn't feel hungry just now. Now that he had used this persimmon to appetize, he felt a little hungry.

Murong Jiu smiled and said: "Father, please don't eat too much. Persimmons are a bit cold when eaten raw. I will fry them for you later. There are also sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. They are all crops from overseas. I will give you an overseas feast." .”

When the emperor heard this, he repeatedly said yes.Jun Yuyan said:

"Father, in fact, these crops are just to enrich the dishes of Dayan. Only crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are the foundation of people's livelihood in Dayan. I know that there are rumors in the outside world that I, in order to make Xiaojiu smile, let the people go crazy. Farming, but Father, you have never blamed me, because you believe in me. I don’t dare to disappoint my father. It just happened that Ah Jiu invited you here. I want to make you happy, so I will let you and my mother and concubine. Look at the yields of potatoes and sweet potatoes."

As he spoke, he brought a hoe and dug the grown potatoes and sweet potatoes himself.

The emperor felt a little guilty in his heart. In fact, he did not seek help from Jun Yuyan. He just wanted to wait for the day when he could go to court in person after recovering from his illness, and then raise an army to question him in front of all the officials.

He knew that Jun Yuyan handled the affairs of the government very well and could not find fault. If the third prince's writing hand had not fully recovered, he would not let Jun Yuyan handle the affairs of the state, so he would let him. The fourth prince came back to assist.

When he was asked about the crime, if this matter was pointed out, the officials would naturally not be able to speak to Jun Yuyan, and they would also be able to erase his previous achievements.

Because the emperor felt a little guilty, he did not answer Jun Yuyan's words, and only looked at Jun Yuyan's hoeing with curious eyes.

He quickly dug out soil balls of different sizes and shapes. What surprised the emperor was that there were only a dozen fruits dug out from the bottom of just one plant!
"This, this is what you call potatoes? Can one plant grow so many?"

The emperor asked in shock.

Concubine Qi Huang asked: "This looks like a stone, can it be eaten?"

Murong Jiu clapped his hands, and Jing Niang came over with cooked potatoes and sweet potatoes.

She broke open the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Neither the emperor nor Concubine Qi expected that under the seemingly ugly appearance, the inside was clean and full, exuding a unique aroma.

"Both of these crops are very good at satisfying hunger. Please taste them."

As she said this, she broke it off and put it into her mouth.

The emperor and concubine Qi Huang followed to taste it.

"This sweet potato tastes a bit sweet, and the potato has its own flavor. As Xiaojiu said, a small piece can go a long way in satisfying your hunger."

The emperor said thoughtfully.

Here Jun Yuyan has dug out sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are larger than potatoes and the yield is amazing.

If we follow this yield, it is really possible for one acre of land to yield a thousand kilograms of yield, or even more.

The more he thought about it, the more excited the emperor became, and his face turned rosy.

Could he be unhappy?

If these crops are popularized and all his people can have enough to eat, then he will be the only emperor through the ages and a good emperor who will forever be remembered in history!

No one can stop the promotion of growing these crops!
"Okay, okay, okay! Yu Yan, Xiao Jiu, you two are well done. I support Xiao Jiu's development of maritime business. Yes, you have brought me so many crops and benefited the people of Dayan. I am very happy. , there will be a big reward!”

Imperial Concubine Qi looked happy.

Jun Yuyan said: "It is what I and Ah Jiu should do to share my father's worries."

The emperor was delighted: "You really gave me a great surprise!"

Murong Jiu took this opportunity and said:

"It's a pity that the crops we get are limited. Even the farmland outside Beijing is not full. We can only keep the fruits planted this year and promote them year by year. However, to feed the people, we must also let them Wear warm clothes, but the white seeds from the Western Regions are easier to find than the crop seeds from overseas. Now is a good time to cultivate seeds. If Concubine Qin can help the prince of the Western Regions send some seeds back, then everyone will be happy."

Jun Yuyan said: "This is inappropriate, Ah Jiu, how can the prince of the Western Regions be willing to give the seeds?"

Murong Jiu said: "What's wrong? Isn't the Western Region a vassal state of our Great Yan now? Isn't it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers are on the shore of the land. Only when we, the Great Yan, are rich and powerful can we protect the vassal countries from foreign invasion. !”
