eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 101 Seeds of Hope

Although the businessman has no status, he is rich. Mei Kejia bought a decent house in the capital within a few days.

He has three sons, four daughters, and four concubines besides his main wife.

Among them, the youngest son Mei Huaigu is the most favored.

It's also because of this that he didn't know the rules very well since he was a child, but now he has to enter the palace.

This is what Mei Kejia is most worried about.

It is said that the prince already has a companion, but his father is a Jinshi.He is just a lowly businessman.

People are really accompanying readers,
This child of my own family is bound to the prince.

The two older sisters surrounded Mei Huaigu,
They are all asking, is it fun in the palace, what does the prince look like,
Because he is a child, he will not pay attention to his words like an adult.

Mei Kejia was very angry, "Stay away! Make a rule in the future, no one in the family is allowed to ask about the affairs of Huaigu Palace!"

It really doesn't make sense,

But he has always had prestige in the family, and he said what he said, and his wife dared not stand up to him.

It's not that he is irritable, it's just that he has his understanding of the rules.

"Huaigu, come here."

Mei Kejia led the child into a false pavilion, and he sat down on a stone bench.

Only when the child got close did he notice that there was a tinge of red under the skin of his father's cheeks. It was because he had drunk alcohol. "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Mei Kejia's eyes were blurred after being drunk, and then he hugged his son tightly.

The movements are rough and the breathing is heavy.

He is a real man, even if Zhang Qian tortured him like that, he still survived, so he won't cry.

"In the future...where you are, you must abide by the rules. In the previous home, father would settle for you whatever trouble you caused. But where you stay in the future, father will not settle for anyone,"

Speaking of this, he let go of his son, and his eyes fell on the child's tender face, "You and my father and son are the lowest level, so you must keep this in mind. You have to keep your tail between your legs when you do things."

Mei Huaigu had probably never seen his father like this before, so he felt a little scared in his heart.

"Father, the child understands, that is the Prince's Mansion."

Although the child's statement is not particularly accurate, the meaning is correct.

"Huaigu, I'm sorry for you. In the prince's mansion, others have reliance, but you have no reliance. So if the prince doesn't like you, your mother and the brothers and sisters in the family will not live well. We... After all, we still have to rely on you. Little people."

These words from him never said to the child.

He didn't plan to tell the child at first.

But Huaigu went to that kind of place in the future, if he still feels like at home, he is really worried.

Mei Kejia actually didn't understand children,

Every little boy feels that his father is the most powerful person in the world since he was a child. When he finds out that he is not, it is actually hard to express his feelings.

In the past few days, he has been particularly strict with Huai Gu, and he will be taught a lesson if there is anything out of the ordinary.

So when Zhu Houzhao saw Mei Huaigu again,
Then I found that the child's eyes were evasive, as if he wanted to dig a hole to bury himself.

Looking at Mei Kejia who was kneeling beside him,
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help sighing, "Why do you do this to the child?"

Mei Kejia touched his head to the ground, "The villain is bold, please Your Highness, for the sake of the villain's life and death, you can be lightly punished when he makes a mistake in nostalgia."

"The rules in the Eastern Palace are very strict. But I, the prince, are not very strict. I only need four words, and I will do things honestly." Zhu Houzhao raised his hand, turned around and walked to the book case, and said, "Get up."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness."

He took a few pictures from the desk, and since Mei Kejia entered Beijing, he has been looking for a painter to paint.

"After you arrive in the southeast, find a way to find those people who go to sea, and go overseas to find the seeds of these things for me. As long as you find these three things, even if you have not made any achievements in the southeast, I will let your family members leave the capital at will. .”

Mei Kejia was startled,
What kind of rare treasure is this that the crown prince values ​​so much?

He glanced at it, and it seemed like a fruit, a yellow and purple oblate ball,

Pointing to the first thing, Zhu Houzhao said, "Everyone who goes out to sea, you should ask. This one grows in the soil, so dig it out and wash it. There are green stems growing on the ground, and they can also bloom. "

After that, there are red and slender fruits, which are actually sweet potatoes. Anyway, he also said according to the characteristics of the previous ones.

The last is corn, the painted green skin, wrapped in granular pulp.

"Your Highness...what are these?"

"It doesn't matter what it's called. You can call it Meikejiaguo if you want. The important thing is to find the seeds for me." Zhu Houzhao was afraid that he would not understand the importance of this thing, so he emphasized: "Meikejia, I ask you A question. Do you think that if we get 5000 million taels of silver a year, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be able to get rich?"

Hearing this number, he wanted to subconsciously answer yes.But after thinking about it for a while, I feel that the prince's problem is not simple.
Then he quickly realized, "...I can't! You can't eat silver."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up. This person has some talents in economics.

"Yes, even if you and I have worked hard for several years to open the sea and have more money, if the country's grain does not increase, it will cause the price of silver to drop. Expensive. Xiaomin doesn’t have much means of earning a living, he earns five taels this year, and it will be five taels next year, but he buys less food, which is not acceptable.”

"So you must not feel that the crown prince is fooling you. You must devote all your energy to this matter, pay attention everywhere, and ask everywhere... To be honest, if I have a Sanbao eunuch, I have already sent him to sea to look for it. "

Mei Kejia naturally understood these words, but he didn't understand, "According to what His Highness said, this is something more important than gold and silver. I don't know what it is?"

"Compared with rice and wheat, it is better to grow and has a higher harvest."

Zhu Houzhao decided to tell him, otherwise he would not know what he was doing.

"Food?! Is this edible?!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "Okay, put it away and take it with you, and set off when you get back. I will tell you two things, even if one is done, it will be considered as your work. Gong hopes that you can find these kinds of grains."

This is a stupid method, the main reason is that he can't travel between two lives, otherwise, if he has a hybrid rice, wouldn't he be invincible?

He remembered that this thing was introduced to China in the 16th century, that is, 100 years later.If you take the initiative to look for it now, I don’t know if there is a chance.

The probability should be low, but what if?
If you really found one, in the environment of ancient China, the court was really full of food, let alone Dayan Khan, even if Temujin was resurrected, he would dare to touch it.

"The villain obeys the order!" Mei Kejia seriously kowtowed a few times, and then resolutely retreated.

Zhu Houzhao also stayed for a while, he didn't know when the next side would be after this one.But that's the answer to the question, so don't think about it later, and the result... wait a few years to see it.

"Liu Jin,"

"The servant is here."

"Let's go out of the palace!"

Liu Jin's legs softened in fright, "Your Highness, the minister's memorial has just been released, and leaving the palace at this time...isn't it right?"

"I just want to call them here." Zhu Houzhao raised his arms, waiting to be changed. "If they live in peace every day, our master and servant can only go in and out of the Wenhua Palace every day. How boring."

Fighting with the sky brings endless joy, fighting with the earth brings endless joy, fighting with people brings endless joy.After being the prince for more than half a year, Zhu Houzhao's mentality is also changing.

God gave him this status, so he naturally wants to leave a mark in history, no matter whether it is good or bad, the historian will always remember it.So when he thinks about himself with this big historical view, he feels that it is better to leave a heroic stroke in history.As the saying goes, if future generations film his TV series, they will also go in the direction of a heroic emperor!
And since he is heroic, why would he look forward and backward, chatter, and be afraid of those insidious shots?
