Zhou Tian was speechless. For such a small issue, as for arguing like this, she wouldn't have bought it for two cents a pound back then: "Okay!" The morning court was not the place for them to argue about watermelons. If she had known they liked to eat it, she would have come
Bring them some from time to time.
Zhou Tian looked at Lu Yongming majestically: "Bring the knife." Since it is fruit, it should be eaten.
"yes."
Everyone held their breath for a moment, wanting to see what the red fruit that had only been described as infinitely mythical in books looked like. The distant country of Qi was as sun-like to most countries. Their lives were prosperous, the land was full of gold, the people were happy, and the cattle and sheep were abundant.
They heard that there were countless legends there, including beautiful girls, incredible men, and many things they had never seen before.
The red fruit in front of them is undoubtedly the closest opportunity they have to get closer to the myth of Qi. Naturally, they will hold their breath and stare at it to respect the majesty of this great country.
What kind of national power can make foreigners far away in Japan be so pious, but Zhou Tian immediately thought about it. If Yan Guo didn't look up to any country, she would not miss the Qi State to cause trouble for her.
The watermelon was cut open, and its tender flesh showed that it had been picked ruthlessly when it was immature, symbolizing the fruit of infinite glory. Because the country it was born in was great, it could stand out from the crowd at this moment. After md, she ran out of the country of Yan.
Rat, can other countries worship it as a god?
All the ministers praised in amazement: "It is indeed a divine fruit, as pink as a baby's cheeks."
Zhou Tian almost vomited because of the praise from these people. Watermelons must be red to taste. Zhou Tian couldn't bear to attack his own officials, saying, "You have no knowledge. Don't say that Zhou Tian is their master when you go out."
Zhou Tianxian symbolically cut a small piece, endured the unfamiliar astringent taste and the unpleasant feeling of not being sweet, and swallowed a small mouthful. Then he quickly asked Eunuch Lu to cut it and give it to the courtiers below to taste, and said euphemistically:
Share it with me.
The ministers burst into tears of gratitude, feeling that their prince was becoming more and more wise, and such an important fruit was easily given to them. Naturally, not all of the ministers here, only those of the second rank and above had even tasted it.
With extremely pious hearts, the ministers bit down on things they had never tasted before. Perhaps it was due to the lack of materials in Yan State, perhaps because of Qi State's great reputation, or perhaps they were very grateful to have received the crown prince's reward in winter.
As for the watermelon, everyone felt that it was sweet to the heart and lungs and extremely delicious when they entered the mouth. After eating, there was no watermelon left that was not ripe and had some stale taste.
Zhou Tian was surprised to see their actions of wanting to take advantage of others, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable in her heart, even though these people always made her angry, even though they were not very talented.
But seeing them eat a spoiled and tasteless watermelon so piously. Zhou Tianjue felt that she was really nothing as a monarch, and she was not qualified to let them eat a real watermelon. She should not blame her ministers for not living up to expectations, and she should not complain here.
Poor, but because of her own incompetence, otherwise how could her courtiers be so moved by a watermelon.
If the State of Qi knew about it, they would probably not wake up from their dreams. However, people may not care about their country worshiping them, just like Chanel chooses actresses, and they will despise their country for being unworthy.
Zhou Tian suddenly became serious. The unhappiness in her heart because of the 'little things' mentioned by Shen Fei and others immediately disappeared. Compared with those trivial things, her family and country are the most important thing: "If you like it, I will give it to you."
I decide how many to plant, and everyone can eat them every day from now on."
When Yin Huo heard that the hand that was eating the watermelon was not in his mouth, the ministers were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "The prince must not do it. The red fruit is a sacred object of Qi State, how can it be left outside." Even the countries that Qi State captured
Don't dare to let this fruit live: "The prince is so kind and grateful to the ministers, but he must not go against the will and offend the state of Qi."
Song Yanjiu also hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes." The Qi State insisted that they must be killed no matter how far away they were, but if their cavalry walked around their home, how could the Yan State survive?
"Prince, please think twice, please take back your life."
Zhou Tian looked at the kneeling person calmly. She didn't dare to say whether Qi Guo's move was considered as a way of overpowering others. Even if it was, who has the right to refuse to accept the person's strength?
Zhou Tian was quiet for three seconds and then said immediately: "Xin Cheng told me about next year's farming arrangements."
Xin Cheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was stunned for a moment and hurriedly knelt down and came out: "Back to Your Highness, many cities in the north will mainly focus on coarse grains next year. In addition to the small amount of fine grains produced in the Green Plain to supply the royal family, the southern half of the city will also mainly focus on coarse grains.
The prince recently brought back the Four Seasons City, and Wei Chen suggested that we should first prepare coarse grains." He took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it respectfully.
Zhou Tian has no objection to coarse grains, which do not have high soil requirements. Besides, the land and water conservancy facilities in Yan country are not suitable for promoting fine grain crops. Floods in various places have seriously salinized the land, and the lack of water resources is also a problem. Coarse grains are undoubtedly the best and most suitable at present.
We quickly stocked up on supplies, but just thinking about eating potatoes and sweet potato pancakes for several years, Zhou Tian suddenly felt like he was back in the days of his grandparents.
Zhou Tian did not show his dissatisfaction, but said: "Even if it is coarse grains, the Ministry of Household Affairs also serves snacks. Which varieties are good and which are not good must be filtered. Check the seed reserves in the granary. If possible, next year's seeds from various places, Royal
It’s distributed free of charge. By the way, there’s a part of the underground warehouse over at South Workshop that is idle, right?”
Fan Hongwu, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said, "Go back to Your Highness, yes." The prince finally called his name to see if he no longer held grudges about what happened last time.
Zhou Tian nodded: "Xin Cheng, spring comes in the south workshop basement all year round. It has good ventilation, heat dissipation, and lighting. You can find a few agricultural experts to try out the seeds for next year. Be sure to plant the best seeds on the ground.
"
The cultivation of 'cold winter and hot land' is not unusual, but it costs a lot of money and is mainly based on research results, so there is no economic benefit. Moreover, in the territory of Yan country, even if it is for sale, not many people can afford it, so there are many 'cold winter and hot land'
Needing support from the treasury, the prince would naturally not be so generous in the past. Now that the prince is willing to give up his love, Xin Cheng cannot say that he is surprised, but he is a little moved.
"Wei minister, please remember His Highness's instructions."
Kneeling ministers, you look at me, I look at you, are you thinking that the last topic is over? What does the prince mean? Is it a seed or not? Besides, the prince can analyze state affairs in this way, he should not be stupid.
He planted red fruits to make Qi angry.
Zhou Tian put the fold aside, his Qianlong embroidered robe drew a majestic arc, and his sleeves fell neatly on his legs. Zhou Tian said: "Everyone has seen the current situation in Yan Country. It is not easy to survive the winter. I have decided to set an example.
Reduce the palace expenses by two-thirds. Except for necessary state banquets, there will be no grand banquets in the palace after the banquet. There will be no drafts in the palace for three years, and no palace maids will be recruited. Taxes and fees in various places will be reduced by half. I hope to do my best to revive the agriculture of the country.
A meager strength."
If the prince was wise at the previous moment, the prince at this moment has great love in the hearts of the ministers. Although these words come from the mouth of the prince who has done many evil things, and it is surprising that they are contrary to the truth, but no matter what, the prince's words make the hopes in the hearts of the ministers brighter.
Even Ouyang Niyu gave the prince a high look, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether the prince could bear the pain.
"Prince Shengming! The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The prince of Su Yijue is crazy. Two-thirds of the expenses will be replaced by cotton in his palace. However, Su Yi is a person who lives under the pressure of the prince, so he will eat the chaff.
Even though he swallowed the food, he didn't dare to complain.
Zhou Tian has become accustomed to these compliments these days. She waved her hand for them to stand up with an indifferent expression, not at all the intoxication she felt when being surrounded by orioles and swallows in the harem.
This demeanor fell into the eyes of Ming ministers and became the demeanor of a monarch. The prince's past affairs became more and more indifferent, and the ministers slowly adapted to the prince's change.
When the ministers were relaxing, Zhou Tian suddenly said: "Who can tell me about Su Shuiqu's matter?"
The Ministry of Industry immediately withered, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became a little strange. Everyone knew what the relationship between Su Shuiqu and the prince was. The prince was not around a few days ago, and it was a common phenomenon in the court for someone to take the opportunity to suppress this popular new minister. What's more,
There were many beauties in the palace, Su Shuiqu was not very good-looking, and the prince had moved on to the young master Jin Yi killed. It was inevitable that some people would be jealous of Su Shuiqu's behavior these days and want to dampen his spirit.
Mi Heze, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, lowered his head and remained silent. He did not do this. Although Su Shuiqu was roughly under his jurisdiction, he was not involved in this matter. Besides, how could he dare to speak so easily? Who knows?
What was the prince's attitude towards Su Shuiqu? If he was doted on, I don't know how he died.
Su Yi's expression was a little strange. The prince stood up for another man in front of him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. In the past, the prince had never bothered for anyone. Ever since he brought back a few men from the deserted countryside, the prince felt uncomfortable.
It became weird.
Su Yi thought to himself, why didn't those people be more cruel and kill them directly?
Mr. Su glanced at Su Yi quietly, his eyes flashed and quickly disappeared.
Su Yi was shocked and immediately came out and said: "Prince, this matter must be punished severely. Lord Su has devoted himself to serving the country and working for the people, and his achievements are obvious to all. Someone actually framed Zhongliang and did such a violation of law and discipline. It is really
It is a disgrace to my country, Yan, and it is even more disrespectful to His Highness, please Your Highness to severely punish this matter!"
Su Yi took the lead. The Su family spontaneously knelt down, and everyone had to kneel down. They had to grit their teeth and shout: "Prince, please investigate this matter thoroughly and punish those who are disrespectful!"
Zhou Tian looked at Su Yi with satisfaction.
When Su Yi received the prince's affirmative look, his unhappiness disappeared immediately, and he was so excited. If he hadn't been in the main hall, he would have run into the prince's arms and felt comfortable.
Mi Heze, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, gave Su Yi a hard look and had to stand up and said: "Prince, please rest assured, I will handle this matter strictly and give an explanation to Mr. Su and the court."
"I believe in you, and I will leave this matter to you. I don't want this to happen again. As a minister, if you don't think about the country and do some villainous things that you can't do anything about, don't do it."
It’s strange that I don’t care about the love of all of you in court!”
"Prince, calm down!"
"Okay, let's proceed as to how to proceed with the winter examination. My dear friends, I still have something to report."
"Prince Shengming."
That is to say, nothing happened: "After the dynasty dispersed, Lord Yin and the Prime Minister came to the study and dispersed."
Eunuch Lu's dust was round and round, and his voice was clear and high-pitched - "The prince has an order to disperse the court." -
Zhou Tian was the first to leave, and the courtiers behind him began to disperse in twos and threes, discussing the prince's words in the morning and trying to figure out the holy intention below.
Mr. Su Yongzhong walked up to his son and followed him out: "How has His Highness treated you recently?"
Su Yi frowned slightly when he mentioned this matter. He had no idea what the prince was thinking now, so he could only discuss it with his father. Did he do something bad that angered the prince? Su Yi approached his father and whispered:
"I can't tell you. The prince is very kind to us. It can be said that he is better than before. He also cares about his son if he has any good things. But..." Su Yi whispered even more: "The prince has not touched me recently."
Su Yongzhong looked at his son in surprise: "You mean..."
Su Yi was a little uncomfortable, but he had no one to discuss this matter. He could only tell his father that although some of his father's actions chilled his heart, the only person he could discuss with was his father. His father was trying to figure out the holy will.
He never made a mistake, but sometimes he was angry that his father never showed mercy when he sent him. Su Yi could not help but say with a bit of anger: "I have never been touched by the prince in this kind of thing."
"Do you still use those things?"
"What's the use? Last time, Eunuch Lu found out and almost beat me to death. However, Eunuch Lu gave me some drugs that are harmless to the human body. Although the effect was average, the prince often stayed at my place at that time. It's fine now.
"The prince has never touched me once." Su Yi mentioned this matter full of grievances. He had been in the palace for a long time and was an eyesore to the prince. It was not as good as a newcomer to make the prince fall in love with him.
Su Yongzhong was a little puzzled. Although his son was not good-looking, he just said that his temperament was definitely the one who cared about the prince the most in the harem. It showed that the prince liked his son's respect and love, otherwise he would not have pampered him for six years...
...Su Yongzhong also frowned. The prince was changing. This change caught him off guard, so he asked his son to speak for Su Shuiqu in the early morning. And he guessed it right. The current prince likes magnanimous men. Su Yongzhong
Don't worry, he believes that his son can be generous enough to become brothers with everyone in the harem.
But the prince was really uneasy if he didn't have sex with his son, so he had to find a way: "You should burn more of those medicines."
"It's useless. The prince's body doesn't matter. If he doesn't want to be emotional, it's useless no matter how much you order."
Su Yongzhong thought about it, but said: "You have served the prince for so long, but you don't have any means to make the prince comfortable!?" In vain, he is Su Yongzhong's son.
Su Yi said angrily: "You want me to die! Who dares to touch the prince without permission!" Touching the prince's sensitive area without the prince's consent is a capital offense!
