Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 164
While Zhu Zhanhe was busy building the capital, and Zhu Di was puzzled by what Zhu Zhanhe was doing, some changes occurred in Yunnan.

The main food crops in the Central Plains have a relatively long maturity period. For example, rice takes about five months. In places close to the tropics, it can only be harvested every three or four months. Winter wheat takes even longer.

Of course, this depends on regional differences. The time for planting and harvesting food varies in each place.

However, the maturity period of exotic crops is usually shorter. For example, potatoes can be harvested in three to four months, corn and potatoes are about the same, and sweet potatoes take a little longer, four to five months.

More than three months after Zhu Zhanhe left, the seeds that were sown for the first time were already harvesting.

Corn and potatoes are the two crops that Zhu Zhanhe attaches most importance to.

"Watch it! Don't let anyone else in!"

"Qian Yong! Jian Xiao! Sanfeng! I'll leave the inside to you. If you find someone holding you hostage privately, you can deal with it on the spot!"

"Everyone else! Get the basket and black cloth ready!"

Zhu Gaoxu nervously directed everyone present, just because his son told him before setting off that these things would most likely be the foundation of their Hanwang lineage.

For this reason, Zhu Gaoxu himself did not intend to get involved, but gave the greatest power to Qian Yong and the others, because he knew that Qian Yong and the others knew the most and were the most reliable.

To put it bluntly, even if Qian Yong and the others knew nothing, they would not let others take away the things they had worked so hard to bring back.

In this matter, Zhu Gaoxu may not trust his guards, but he definitely trusts Qian Yong and the others.

But in fact, there were very few seeds, and the final harvest was not much, just more corn, but it was still harvested quickly.

Qian Yong and the other three excitedly handed the things to Zhu Gaoxu, and then looked at each other, and they all saw a feeling of worthiness in each other's eyes.

"Don't worry, live well." Zhu Gaoxu looked at the reactions of Qian Yong and the others, feeling a little emotional.

"I know there have been a lot of gossips recently, especially against Sanfeng, but Zhan He has promised you that I believe him and I hope you believe him too."

"Zhan He rarely breaks trust with others. So far, he has only done so twice, and both were caused by objective reasons."

"In Yunnan, the Han Palace may not be able to directly decide everything, but it still has influence."

"So, I believe Zhanhe will fulfill his promise to you."

"Thank you! Your Highness, King of Han!" Qian Yong and the others knelt down in obeisance and refused to get up for a long time.

After coming to Yunnan, compared to the Zhu Gaoxu who was in Yingtian Mansion before, the current Zhu Gaoxu can no longer be said to have enlightened, but should be described as the gate has opened.

Of course, this is mainly because his previous level was too low, but progress is always a good thing.

"Okay, get up." Zhu Gaoxu sighed for a while, and then personally bent down to help Qian Yong and the others.

"I can somewhat understand your feelings, but you don't have to worry about it in the future. Neither Zhanhe nor I will treat you badly."

"This year is the triennial tea and horse trade. Last time Zhanhe wanted to go in person, but he was involved in the Jiaozhi incident. I couldn't leave Yunnan, so I asked Zhu Heng to go."

"As you all know, Zhu Heng has been my personal bodyguard for more than 20 years. Besides Zhan He, he is the one I trust the most in Yunnan."

"Now that he is on an expedition to Japan with Zhanhe, we can't let him go this year. Do you three want to go?"

Qian Yong and the other three were stunned when they heard this.

Although they have been away from Ming Dynasty for four years, it does not mean that they no longer understand the situation in Ming Dynasty.

The importance of tea-horse trading is no longer limited to officials. Even ordinary people know something about it. Although Qian Yong and the other two people don't know much about it, they also know its importance.

Now, Zhu Gaoxu is willing to hand over this matter to them, which means that his trust in them has reached the highest level that ordinary people can achieve.

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Han for your trust!" Qian Yong and the others were so excited that they couldn't express their emotions.

Although they were initially willing to help Zhu Zhanhe retrieve these seeds at all costs because of Zhu Zhanhe's kindness to them, if there was a reward, who would not be willing?

The difference is that some people will become more determined after receiving rewards, while others will go astray.

"You deserve this." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and encouraged them.

"You three still have a lot of time to enjoy the fruits of your hard work, but others can't."

"This time, the Han Palace sent some things to the families of the remaining 190 people, including food and money. They will also receive it every year in the future."

"I didn't ask anyone to send you three away, because you will have better ones in the future, so don't mind."

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is serious!" Qian Yong and the others were a little flustered immediately.

"I dare not expect extravagantly. Originally, we sailed with the Treasure Fleet just to repay His Royal Highness' kindness. Now getting these is already His Royal Highness's reward."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled very satisfied when he heard this.

It seems that his son has a very good eye and has chosen people he can trust.

At least for now.

-

Yingtian Mansion, Imperial Palace, Wenhua Hall.

Jie Jin and Huang Huai were looking at Zhu Gaochi eagerly, waiting for him to make a decision, while Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi stood aside with calm faces.

As for Zhu Gaochi... the expression on his face was very calm, without any disturbance at all.

The reason why today's situation occurred is that news came from Yunnan.

On the day of harvest, although Zhu Gaoxu's work was perfect, the grain was planted in the fields after all. Although there were people around him who were on guard, there was no chance that it would spread.

For example, Jin Yiwei.

In addition, those civil servants have been keeping a close eye on Yunnan's every move since the Jiaozhi incident. In addition, last year the imperial court sent some civil servants to assist the Han Dynasty in governing Yunnan.

So, although it is difficult, there is always a way to get the news.

After all, at the beginning, Zhu Gaoxu was just guarding against someone stealing food, but he didn't prevent the news from getting out, because Zhu Zhanhe had told him before leaving that there was no need to guard against those civil servants as if guarding against thieves.

"Your Highness, you can't hesitate any longer!" Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was reluctant to speak, Huang Huai opened his mouth and urged.

"Yunnan got this thing! We will be in danger in the future!"

"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi raised his head when he heard this and looked at Huang Huai with squinted eyes.

"Tell me, who is in danger?"

Wenhua Palace fell into silence, and no more words were heard.

In life, never take yourself too seriously. Maybe you have reached a very high position, maybe you have the power of life and death for countless people, but you have to understand that you are just a pawn.

What is important to you may not be important to others.

　I think it's almost relieved. I'll give it a try in two days...
