Chapter 125

125. Chapter 125

Ming Yu clapped his hands, and a palace servant had already put the prepared watermelon and corn on the tray. Everyone looked intently, the watermelon jasper was clear, and the golden splendor called corn had indeed never been seen before.

These things are all from the west, except for a few people who have seen watermelons, others don't know these things at all.

Prime Minister Wen was also very curious. He was fortunate enough to taste the watermelon back then. Is the thing called corn presented by Ming Yujing today also the same as watermelon?

"I don't know what this corn is, and what is it for?" Prime Minister Wen asked.

The emperor nodded towards Ming Yu, and then saw how Ming Yu behaved.

Ming Yu was already prepared and told the origin of the corn.

Everyone heard that they came from the far west, and they all became curious. They have only heard that there are many small countries in the Western Regions, and in their conception, this is already very far out of reach.

Unexpectedly, from what Ming Yu said, it seems that there is still a farther place, and the customs there are very different from those in the Central Plains. One side of the water and soil raises the other side, and the species they produce are naturally different.

However, it can be seen that this thing is not easy to come by, but then again, except Ming Yu, who would do nothing to pay attention to the things that grow in the ground all day long. If it was them, it is estimated that they would be dismissive even in front of them, right? Why would they make a special trip to collect these seeds in exchange for them?

"Don't underestimate it, this thing has high yield and can also be used as a staple food. And it is easy to survive. It can be grown in barren and arid places. In this way, many places where food cannot be grown can be used. If it is promoted by the government , corn can be grown all over the country, and the people of Dayan will also be able to have more food support in the future, is this not a bad thing?" Ming Yu expressed his thoughts.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing was a little unconvinced, "Since this new species has only been introduced from the west, how does King Duan know the habits of this species? This species has never been planted in Dayan, so how do you know that this species can adapt to other places? Climate and soil conditions? You must know that oranges born in the south are oranges, and oranges born in the north are oranges. Everything has a spirit, and it is not as simple as the prince said."

Since Ming Yu dared to say this, of course, he is confident. In later generations, corn has long been popularized, and the number of people who plant it is unknown. Naturally, he also referred to all aspects of corn in later generations to say this.

Ming Yu smiled politely at the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, "Of course I have done an experiment before I dare to put this thing out."

"Experiment? What kind of experiment, is it possible that the prince can make it so in a short period of time? Is this corn planted everywhere? Otherwise, how do you know its regional growth habits?" Zou Chang, the minister of household affairs, frowned.

how can that be? Not to mention the growth cycle of the seeds brought back, how many seeds can the caravan bring back? How much can you plant?

Their household department is in charge of the household registration and fields, and the food problem of the people in the world is a major issue related to people's livelihood. Duan Wang, you are going to trade, no one is stopping you, but it is a bit outrageous to point fingers at farmers' crops.

Ming Yu pouted and said impatiently, "What's so difficult about this? This king can make flowers and trees bloom and bear fruit in winter, and also make peach trees bear pears. Do you believe it?"

Zou Chang thought that Ming Yu was trolling and satirizing him, and angrily threw a sentence, "How unreasonable is this!"

Farmers grow crops according to the four seasons. What about winter blooms? Ha ha! What an ignorant child, he thinks his nonsense can be believed? Treat everyone sitting here as fools like him?

Everyone present laughed at him, what did King Duan know? The four seasons are unclear, the five grains are not divided, how can we expect him to say something serious?

Ming Yu was speechless. You haven't seen it, you don't believe it, doesn't it mean it doesn't exist? Even if I explained it to them, they would not understand, Xia Zong was speechless. Speechless, Ming Yu is really speechless. As the saying goes, you can never wake up a group of people pretending to be asleep, what can Ming Yu do? Only to be slapped in the face with facts in the future.

"Gu believe him!" Prince Ming Ye expressed his support for Ming Yu.

Then another cold voice sounded, "I also believe in the prince."

Ming Yu stood in the center of everyone's focus, not at all annoyed by the ridicule. Hearing two familiar voices, he couldn't help laughing.

One is the prince. After he learned about the properties of corn from Ming Yu, he had already realized it. in the future The promotion of the product to all parts of the country will make a historic change in Dayan State.
