Chapter 555 Visit of Envoys from the Western Regions

“Your Majesty, the envoys of the Western Regions have arrived and are waiting outside the hall.”

The guard ran in in surprise, panting.

“Announce him into the hall!”

“Xuanxiyu envoys will see you!”

A man with a belly as big as Maitreya Buddha and a strangely dressed man walked up to the hall and knelt with one hand:

“The envoys of the Western Regions paid homage to His Majesty Emperor Tianning. His Majesty will live forever, and the country will last forever.”

“Get up!”

Chen Chong waved his hand, and the messenger stood aside and said:

“Your Majesty, the King entrusted me to bring you grapes. This thing is sweet and sour in the mouth and has a wide range of uses. Your Majesty, please taste it!”

Talking, the envoy opened the bag and handed a bunch of grapes to Chen Chong. Chen Chong put one in his mouth with a hand-made one.

“Well, it’s not bad, it’s delicious! What is this thing called? You say it again.”

“Grape!

“Puff, um, it’s something that fell into the water! Puff, puff!”

Everyone laughed, and the envoy was a little embarrassed, not knowing what they were laughing at! At this moment Chen Chong said:

“I didn’t hear clearly just now, just kidding, I hope you don’t mind. Come, everyone, come and taste it.”

Everyone in the group grabbed a handful and chewed slowly. The more they ate, the more they wanted to eat. They grabbed it and put it in their mouths, regardless of the image. After a while, a bag of grapes was swept away by everyone. Everyone was full of praise.

“This thing is really good, it’s sweet in the mouth, and it’s endlessly memorable.

“Yeah! This is the first time I have tasted such a delicious thing when I grow up. It’s almost drooling when I think of it.”

“It would be better if we could also grow this thing in China!”

Everyone commented, and then the envoy looked at them with surprise and asked:

“Why do you eat the skin and grape seeds? You can’t eat that thing!”

When the officials heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, and grabbed the envoy as if he was going to run away.



“Why didn’t you say it earlier? Are you going to kill us?”

“Believe it or not, I punch and go back to your hometown!”

The envoy was reprimanded by the crowd, trembling in fright, and hiding in the atmosphere, he did not dare to escape. At this time, Chen Chong said:

“Okay! Don’t worry, everyone, don’t scare him anymore. I believe he was unintentional. Besides, I ate all of them. Who would let us not know? Messenger, you can tell everyone about the purpose of this thing! ”

The envoy carefully glanced at the ministers and said:

Your Majesty”, don’t underestimate this grape, this thing is very useful, it can be used to make wine, the wine that is made is called a beautiful, and the grape itself has a high yield, this thing grows in pieces, with thin skin and thick flesh, which is very good. A kind of fruit!

The generals slobbered stupidly when they heard that they could make wine. They all expressed their desire to taste it.

Your Majesty “Let’s try it too, it’s a pity not to grow such a good thing!”

“Your Majesty, just because it can make wine, let’s try it too. Brothers are all drooling!”

Your Majesty, “The so-called grape wine luminous cup, please remind me if you want to drink it, we are worth a try.”

Chen Chong saw that the ministers were in agreement, and he didn’t say anything further. He agreed with their approach, and ordered people to draft and issue a decree, so that the people would try to plant first and see what happened?

As soon as the decree was issued, it was quickly issued to various states and counties across the country, and notices were posted on the streets.

“This is a high-yield crop imported from the Western Regions. Let us plant it ourselves and see if the yield per mu is large.”

“I heard that this thing is called grapes, it tastes delicious, and you can make wine!”

“Oh, what do you care about him! The country allows it to be planted, let’s try it! Maybe it’s really a good thing!”

The common people have different opinions. There is a kind of grapes, and some are holding a wait-and-see attitude. Therefore, a wave of grape growing has been set off across the country. If there are any, the envoy personally guided them. The grapes are on the shelf and need to be grafted.

After the summer, as the grape vines grew, the farmers went to the mountains to cut down the poplar sticks according to the method taught by the envoys. The sticks were about one meter and five 540 long and one inch wide. The vines are tied to the stick, with the supply of nutrients.

Grapes slowly came out! In autumn, due to the abundant rain this year and another harvest season, clusters of grapes are full of vines, which are quite luxuriant, and the people are smiling.

Chen Chong heard that the grapes were ripe, and took the officials to inspect the fields, and found that the yield per mu had exceeded 1,000 catties, which was quite shocked. Military teacher Xun You suggested:

“Your Majesty, since the yield of this thing is so high, let the common people plant it next year! We can also give preferential policies. Anything that grows more will be exempted from tax, and those who grow less will also be exempted, with a 30% discount. What do you think? Woolen cloth?”

Xun Youyi said that others responded one after another.

“Your Majesty, the military division is right. Since the output is so high, why don’t we promote it on a large scale?”

“Yes! Your Majesty, this kind of opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you won’t have it! You must grasp it well.”
