Clang!
Clang!
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, who were following behind, lost their balance and fell to the ground.
His brows were filled with shock!
On the other side, Emperor Hongzhi was also on the verge of collapse. The calm he had pretended to be before could no longer be maintained.
Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao quickly went forward to help him.
However, before he could get close, Emperor Hongzhi had already stabilized himself. He pointed at Zhu Houzhao and shouted,
"Pin 'er! Don't talk nonsense!"
However, Emperor Hongzhi, who had just finished speaking, suddenly recalled what he had said earlier and his expression instantly became awkward.
Because before this, the Crown Prince had already said that if one did not believe it, there was a scale in the Imperial Villa.
Using a scale, one could roughly estimate the yield per mu.
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi ignored Liu Jian and Li Dongyang and grabbed Zhu Houzhao. He quickly walked forward and said.
"Pin 'er, hurry! Hurry up! Accompany me to take a look.
I want to see what kind of treasure this 10,000 jin per mu is!”
Zhu Houzhao staggered when he was pulled by Emperor Hongzhi. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was agile.
With a slight adjustment, he caught up with Emperor Hongzhi's pace.
Not long after, the father and son ran to the side of the ten thousand jin per mu crop.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the red and green colors in the fields and his expression immediately became embarrassed.
He had never seen this thing before.
"Pin 'er, what is this?"
Zhu Houzhao did not answer directly.
Instead, he walked into the field and rummaged through it. He found two red fruits and casually wiped them.
After handing one to Emperor Hongzhi, he opened his mouth and bit down on the remaining one. As he chewed, he spoke indistinctly.
"It's called Tomato!"
"Tomatoes?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the tomato in his hand and looked up at Zhu Houzhao. He mimicked Zhu Houzhao and slowly bit into the tomato in his hand.
Sweet!
It was slightly sour!
But it was very tender!
There was still a lot of juice!
Emperor Hongzhi asked Zhu Houzhao as he chewed and tasted the tomato.
"Pin 'er, is it a fruit?"
"It can be considered a vegetable or a fruit.”
"Can the yield per mu really reach 10,000 catties?"
"En, ten thousand jin should be the lowest standard. This son doesn't know this guy's upper limit.”
Hiss!
Emperor Hongzhi gasped when he heard this.
Looking at the half-eaten tomato in his hand, he was shocked!
The tomatoes were just vegetables.
But from the looks of it, it seemed to be inconvenient to store it.
But it couldn't withstand ten thousand catties per mu!
Whether it was sold as vegetables or fruits.
Even if it was one copper coin per catty.
This piece of land could be sold for at least 10,000 wen!
Moreover, such a delicious thing couldn't possibly cost a single coin per catty.
When Emperor Hongzhi thought of this, his expression became even more shocked. He was even more curious about the tomato field in front of him.
Then, he walked directly into the field and began to weave between the tomato seedlings. He lowered his head and counted the fruits.
Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi's expression and could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile as he shouted at the side of the field.
"Father, it's useless for you to count now. Some of them have just bloomed. These tomatoes are ripe in batches.”
However, Emperor Hongzhi acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued counting in the fields.
When Emperor Hongzhi counted the tomatoes.
In the distance, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang also recovered from their shock.
He turned around and pulled Xie Qian, who was still eating corn, and ran over.
Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, asked Zhu Houzhao,"
"Your Highness, is this a divine item that can produce 10,000 catties per mu?”
"That's right. Its name is Tomato!"
After Zhu Houzhao answered the question, he looked at Emperor Hongzhi in the field.
At this moment, Xie Qian seemed to have noticed the fruit on the ground. A light flashed in his eyes as he exclaimed,
"It can be eaten?"
"Yes, it's very delicious. You have to choose the red one. The green one is not ripe yet. The taste will be hard and astringent!”
After Xie Qian heard Zhu Houzhao's reply, he nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Then, he immediately dug into the ground and found a tomato to eat.
"Mmm…Delicious…Grand Secretary Liu, Grand Secretary Li, do you want some?”
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, who were standing at the side of the field, frowned when they saw Xie Qian's appearance. However, they could not hide the desire in their eyes.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and looked away from them. He looked at the fields behind him.
Eh?
You've grown so big!
Zhu Houzhao looked at the crops in the opposite field and was pleasantly surprised.
He turned around and saw that Emperor Hongzhi had no intention of coming out.
Zhu Houzhao took advantage of this free time and directly walked towards the opposite field.
……
Xie Qian picked more than ten tomatoes in the field and carefully carried them in his clothes. In the end, he really couldn't take them all, so he walked out of the field.
After Xie Qian came out, he gave Liu Jian and Li Dongyang one tomato each and stuffed one into his mouth. As he ate, he looked around and began to look for Zhu Houzhao.
As a result, Xie Qian was surprised to find out.
The Crown Prince seemed to be rummaging through the fields opposite him.
Seeing this scene, the light in Xie Qian's eyes immediately began to shine brighter and brighter.
One had to know that in his memories.
Ever since the Crown Prince entered the Imperial Villa.
Other than the tomatoes, he had not picked anything else.
He had just tasted the taste of the tomatoes. It was incomparable to corn.
Then the Crown Prince had gone to the other side to pick them.
Did he mean?
The things in the field opposite were as delicious as these tomatoes?
Thinking of this, Xie Qian suddenly chuckled.
Then, he quickly rushed toward the field on the opposite side.
He stole a glance at the item in the Crown Prince's hand.
Xie Qian quickly plucked one with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it in large mouthfuls.
……
"Ah!"
A mournful wail suddenly resounded in the Imperial Manor.
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang heard the commotion and quickly turned around.
Emperor Hongzhi, who was still counting in the field, straightened his back and looked over because of this sudden movement.
"Ha…ha…ha…"
In everyone's eyes, Xie Qian's mouth was wide open at this moment. He stuck his tongue out of his mouth and was constantly exhaling.
With tears in his eyes, he looked at Zhu Houzhao in horror and wailed loudly,
"Your Highness, is this thing poisonous?”
Zhu Houzhao frowned. Looking at Xie Qian's miserable appearance, he said softly,
"Yes, you guessed right!
Not only was he poisonous, but he was also extremely poisonous!”
When Xie Qian heard this answer, he could no longer control his tears. He sat on the ground and began to cry loudly.
