Zhu Song left the bedroom and came outside. At this moment, everyone in the palace was very happy. Soon there would be the first young prince in the palace, maybe a young princess.

King Han was also generous and interesting. After learning that the princess was happy, he immediately ordered all the servants in the family to be rewarded with a little money.

In Zhu Song's eyes, this little amount of silver was only a mere five taels of silver. However, in the eyes of the family members of the palace, these five taels of silver were a considerable sum of money.

The princess is happy, and according to the rules, Zhu Song should give the old man a memorial to report that the princess is happy, and the old man is going to have a grandson.

Zhu Song had nothing to do anyway, and the snow was still falling, so he came to the study, opened the memorial, and explained the current situation of Kaiyuan.

This winter, it seems that except for those who broke in at that time, no one from the Yuan people dared to invade.

Those Yuan people on the grassland usually try their best to steal it from the Han people when they have no food in winter. But now that northern Xinjiang, especially the areas bordering the grassland, has sent princes to guard it, those Yuan people will not care about it.

I didn't have the guts even to think about it.

Once they entered the vassal territory, the vassal kings would be like a cat seeing a mouse, immediately sending troops or personally going into battle to defeat these Yuan people.

It seems that the eldest among the princes who are still alive is King Yan, and King Yan is in Peiping as the commander of the three armies and commanding tens of thousands of enemies. Which prince would not want to take advantage of this honor?

Zhu Song had almost explained the situation of Kaiyuan and mentioned the key points. He only wrote down to the end of the memorial the matter of Miao's marriage, which was only one sentence.

Zhu Song didn't believe that the old man would be so excited about becoming a grandfather for the first time. He had more than 20 sons, and he was still the twentieth son. They had already been so excited about the joy of becoming a grandfather.

After writing the memorial, Zhu Song handed it to the steward in the palace and asked him to go to Lao Cao tomorrow and ask Lao Cao to send someone to deliver the memorial to the capital. Today is New Year's Eve, so no matter what, people have to celebrate the New Year at home.

Let’s talk about it later.

…

Three months later.

When the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, Zhu Song, with three months of excitement and trepidation, took the corn seeds and ran to the north of Kaiyuan City early in the morning, where he had already reserved land.

Logically speaking, this corn should be able to grow without any problem if planted in the soil. However, Zhu Song was still cautious and only used half of the corn seeds. According to his memory of his previous life, which was better than nothing, he planted all the corn.

Sow them one by one.

The corns must be separated by one or two punches, and Zhu Song had no experience, so one ridge was separated by one punch and the other ridge was separated by two punches, which looked almost the same.

Zhu Song re-buried the soil little by little, and then ordered people to start watering. He had to personally check each piece, when to start watering, when to harvest, and how much water to pour. Zhu Song had to personally check.

It took almost an entire day to work on less than half an acre of land.

It wasn't that Zhu Song was working too slowly, it was actually his first time trying to grow corn, so he couldn't have been more careful.

Seeing the corn planted in half an acre of land, Zhu Song breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, Zhu Song climbed out of his bed before the rooster crow, rode his horse and led people out of the city, all the way to the cornfield he had cultivated, and every day he had to look at whether there was anything growing in the field.

Seedlings growing?

There was nothing on the first day, nothing on the second day, and on the fifteenth day there was still nothing. The food crops planted nearby had begun to sprout.

Zhu Song's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these corn seeds couldn't sprout?

Just when Zhu Song was feeling discouraged, he suddenly heard a sergeant shouting loudly in the distance.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, the seedlings are growing. Here is a seedling!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Song picked up his clothes and ran over quickly. When he was close, Zhu Song came to the side with a shovel and looked at the green buds that had just sprouted. He was very excited.

"Great, great, finally sprouted! But isn't just one too few? Is this the only one seed that has survived?"

Zhu Song frowned, and the stone he just put down in his heart picked up again.

Fortunately, in the next few days, the corns in the cornfields sprouted one after another. Some of them were still silent, but only a few of them accounted for about 30%.

It's good to be able to grow 70%. Now the first hurdle is barely passed. When the corn matures in autumn, the corn will slowly grow. Then we will see how big the corn cobs are and what the yield is.

Compared with corn, sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes, have a higher yield than corn. It is a pity that Hu Shang left last year. This time, even if it is fast, it will take a year and a half to slow down. It may not last three or four years.

Can't come back.

The most important thing is that after hearing Zhu Song's description of the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes, all the Hu merchants looked confused. Fortunately, some people had seen the potatoes, but none of the Hu merchants had seen the sweet potatoes.

Zhu Song vaguely remembered that when sweet potatoes were introduced, it was probably more than a hundred years later. More than a hundred years later, potatoes and sweet potatoes were introduced one after another, and then they took root in the land of China.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are said to be discovered in some small countries in Southeast Asia. Could it be that I have found the wrong two things? Shouldn't I expect Hu Shang to go to the Western Regions to find them?

Zhu Song thought about it for a long time that night, but couldn't think of a reason. He had to do things one by one, step by step, and temporarily build up the caravan.

The caravan walked from south to north, from west to east. When they gradually walked away from the road and saw more things, they might have some bad luck. If they bring sweet potatoes and potatoes

If you bring it back, you will be burned with incense!

Zhu Song stretched and was about to go back to rest when he suddenly heard shouting from outside.

"Report! It's not good! It's not good, Your Highness! News has come from the capital that the Emperor is dead!"

When Zhu Song heard this, his feet softened and he almost fell off the steps.

"What did you say? The emperor is dying? Why is he dying?"

The servant said with a mournful face: "Your Highness, the emperor is dying. News has come from the capital, asking the vassal kings from all over the country to come to the capital as soon as possible to report the funeral!"

Zhu Song held on to the pillar next to him. The servants on the side hurriedly came forward to help Zhu Song. Zhu Song only felt that his eyes were darkened. This day had come so quickly.

"Hurry, prepare your horses! Starry Night is on the road, I am going to the capital!"

"yes!"

Zhu Song staggered towards the outside, when he received the news and his father-in-law, who had already moved out in the spring, suddenly ran back in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
