Princess of the auxiliary country

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Ning Guogong's bearded black face was full of doubts. He stepped out of the queue and walked to the big bamboo basket, stretched out his feet and kicked it.

Seeing this, Fang Qiao quickly frowned and scolded: "Mr. Ning Guo, don't mess around. This is a valuable thing."

Upon hearing his words, everyone turned to look at Fang Qiao.

The next moment, Fang Qiao turned around and bowed to Emperor Zhaowu with a smile, "Your Majesty, the thing in this bamboo basket is corn?"

As soon as this statement came out, Emperor Zhaowu was surprised, and others were shocked.

“What is corn?”

"Stupid, corn corn, as the name suggests, is rice made of jade."

"Rice made of jade? It's a joke. Didn't you hear Mr. Fang just say that this thing is precious? If it really is this, can it be worthy of the word "jingui"?"

Although jade was a relatively valuable thing in ancient times, it also had to be classified into different grades.

How old is Mi? If corn is used to make rice, isn't it just jade particles? Among these people here, who hasn’t ordered jade yet?

Just smash it and tinker with it, and you can make a bunch of it, right?

Naturally, it cannot be regarded as valuable.

"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 friend and comrade-in-arms, still likes to call Fang Qiao by his nickname back then.

This can be regarded as a unique way of getting along between these old brothers.

Fang Qiao was not surprised at all.

"How did Fang Aiqing know that there was corn in it?"

Emperor Zhaowu was also a little surprised.

"Yesterday Jinyan went to the minister's house and mentioned something about it."

"I see."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded, then smiled and said, "Fang Aiqing is right, there is indeed corn in it."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the two guards below lifted the red silk, revealing the orange corn cobs inside.

Everyone looked around and frowned.

"Isn't this made of jade?"

"It looks very ordinary, and I don't see anything valuable about it."

Ning Guogong even stepped forward and took a piece of corn, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and even smelled the smell. It was very ordinary.

But he has never seen this thing before.

"What do you know? This is food, a brand new food."

As soon as Fang Qiao opened his mouth, Ning Guogong laughed and said, "Is it food? Then I'll eat it."

After saying that, he was about to put it in his mouth and chew it. This move frightened Fang Qiao.

This is something that can produce a thousand kilograms per acre. I don’t know how many there are yet. These are all things that can be used as seeds. How can they be wasted like this?

"Shut up, you idiot."

Fang Qiao quickly stepped forward, snatched the corn from Duke Ning Guo's hand, and held it in his arms very dearly.

"What are you, Fang Xiucai, doing? Why don't I just try the taste? Isn't this so bad? Aren't there many more?"

"If you want to try it, just pick one up yourself." "You idiot, do you know how precious this thing is?"

Fang Qiao glared at him angrily, then looked at Emperor Zhaowu, who also smiled and said, "Fang Aiqing is right, this corn is indeed very precious."

"Ning Guo Gong, don't mess around."

Once His Majesty spoke, Ning Guogong naturally stopped continuing and returned to the queue honestly.

"Mr. Ji Guo, come and introduce this corn to everyone."

Hearing this, Ji Guogong, who had been showing little performance, cupped his hands and slowly walked out of the queue.

He took the corn from Fang Qiao's hand, looked around, and said, "This thing is called corn. It is a brand-new grain discovered by my daughter Princess Zhaode. According to her, this thing comes from far away overseas. She also had a chance." I got some seeds by coincidence.”

"Last winter, everyone knew that my daughter built a greenhouse and planted many things, including corn."

"The effect was good, so during spring plowing this year, she promoted it on her farm and planted hundreds of acres of corn."

Having said this, he paused, then turned around, cupped his hands towards Emperor Zhaowu, and continued, "Yesterday, my daughter invited the Emperor and His Majesty to come to Zhuangzi in person to witness the harvesting of corn."

"After repeated measurements and weighings, the yield of this corn per mu has reached an astonishing amount of more than a thousand gold pieces."

As soon as these words came out, the entire court fell into silence, and even Ning Guogong, who was the most blabbering, had his mouth wide open at this time.

After a while, he jumped out and pulled Huo Jingzhi and asked, "Lao Huo, did you make a mistake?"

The yield per mu is a thousand catties, what a terrible thing this is.

Food has always been the top priority of the Yu Dynasty. Why did they start an uprising to overthrow the previous dynasty? Wasn't it because they couldn't live without food?

If there were thousands of kilograms of grain per acre, why would they risk their lives?

"I said it right, and you heard it right. The yield of this corn is indeed a thousand catties per mu. If you don't believe it, you can go to my little girl's farm to verify it for yourself. It happens that my little girl's farm has been harvesting for the past few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Qiao quickly answered: "It's so good, seeing is believing."

Although he believed in Ji Guogong, this thing was indeed too far beyond everyone's understanding. Just saying this, it must be difficult for people to believe it.

Since there are still some that have not been collected, let’s go and see for ourselves.

Of course, he himself was also very curious about how the corn grew.

"You and I don't have anything else to do today, so let's go take a look together."

As soon as Emperor Zhaowu spoke, everyone immediately agreed. This corn is a good thing. Regardless of whether it can really reach an astonishing yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, the new grain alone is enough to attract attention. After all, having more grains is also a good thing.

After a while, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty set off to leave the capital in a mighty manner. This scene shocked everyone in the capital.

Many good people followed behind to watch the fun from a distance. Emperor Zhaowu did not chase them away. Instead, he asked Gao Fu to send a message so that everyone could follow them, but they had to pay attention to their safety.

Soon, a group of hundreds of people fell into Huo Junyao's Xiaohuangzhuang. Suddenly seeing so many people coming, the people responsible for guarding the place were shocked, but they quickly recognized the few at the front.

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 was also with Zhuangzi at this time. When she heard the report, she was not surprised, as if she had expected it.

"Xiaochan, please prepare everything I said yesterday."

Xiaochan nodded quickly and took Wangxia and Hongxiu to work.

The astonishing yield of corn will inevitably arouse disbelief from others, and Emperor Zhaowu will definitely let people come over to see it with their own eyes.

So she ordered Xiaochan yesterday to take the women in the village to prepare a lot of herbal tea.

"My daughter has met the emperor and all of you."

Emperor Zhaowu smiled and waved her hand to excuse her, while the adults behind him returned the favor one after another.
