Now that the debt collection problem that he was most worried about has been solved, Liu Deng has nothing to stay in Chang'an City. The emperor's problem is really terrifying. Now Liu Deng doesn't even dare to see the prince, for fear that he will not be there. Be careful of causing any further misunderstandings.
After returning to Honglu Temple, Liu Deng began to prepare for returning to the city. There was still some time before the New Year. He had come to Chang'an City twice in a row this year. Since the emperor had said that he would return to Dai Kingdom after the New Year, he You should go back and prepare early. Although the emperor has said that they will not let them waste people and money, but if you really take the emperor's words seriously, you will really be a stick.
If the emperor wants to return to the country of Dai, he must find a way to solve all the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation. First of all, the palace should be properly repaired.
If this had happened before, it wouldn't matter if Daiguo was in poverty and the palace would not be repaired. But now you are so poor that all you have left is money. If you still don't repair it, are you giving the emperor eye drops?
As a prince, the etiquette of both an audience and a farewell is not a simple matter. You must say goodbye to the emperor three days in advance.
After a lot of etiquette was completed, it was not until the morning of the fourth day that Liu Deng was able to leave Chang'an City with peace of mind. Liu Deng really missed home and his treasures. After so long, he couldn't leave Chang'an City. It’s almost time!
By the time the team returned to Jinyang City, it was already half a month later.
The army returned to the court after victory, and the welcome ceremony back to Jinyang was of course even more grand. Jinyang City was Liu Deng's base, and most of the soldiers under Liu Deng's command were from nearby Jinyang. His own children returned to the court victoriously, not only unscathed, but also with outstanding military exploits. Of course, everyone was happy with such a big happy event.
When the army was settled, Liu Deng finally returned to his palace. At this time, Liu Deng had a deeper understanding of the saying that a gold nest and a silver nest are not as good as his own doghouse.
Sure enough, it was more comfortable to stay in her own palace. Although her mother knew that her son had gone to Chang'an City to perform meritorious service and receive rewards, the fact that she had not been able to see her son for so many days still made the old man miss her very much.
Now that his son is finally back, the old man seems to have everything he needs.
In order to replenish his son's health, the old man personally ordered the cooks to prepare meals. Everything was done in detail, and all the instructions were given carefully. The whole palace was ordered around by the old man.
Liu Deng was able to put his mind down and no longer think about those messy things. He could enjoy his life peacefully during this period and fully experience the corrupt life of princes and kings in the feudal dynasty.
Of course, Liu Deng didn't dare to relax at all about his precious baby bumps. These things were the foundation for his livelihood.
After nearly three months of going back and forth, the peppers that Liu Deng misses the most are basically ready to be harvested. Looking at these pepper seedlings that he planted himself, Liu Deng's heart is surging. This stuff is so popular nowadays. Years are really rare things.
As a person who doesn't like spicy food, life without chili peppers is really sad, but he also understands that the more important thing is of course potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Others don't understand the importance of this thing, but Liu Deng knows it clearly.
As long as these two precious crops are popularized, the population base of the Han Dynasty can be greatly increased again. Later history books say that during the reign of Wenjing, the grain stored in the treasury was inedible, but what about the people?
The population of the common people has not increased significantly, and the average life span of the common people is less than forty years old. What is the reason?
It's just that the work is too heavy, the disease cannot be treated, and the living conditions are extremely poor. If the geographical location can produce more food, why are the people so miserable?
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the entire country was used to support a great war, but in the end it was just a hundred thousand troops marching north. Although the Xiongnu were destroyed in the end, countless soldiers died in the battle. As long as there was more money and food in the treasury, that battle It doesn’t have to be that hard.
After having these two treasures, Liu Deng believed that when the eternal emperor wanted to send troops to fight again in the future, he would not have to expend so much effort.
But now in Liu Deng's eyes, these things are all money!
Such good seeds cannot be given away to the wealthy landlords for free in the future, right?
If you want a way to plant it, if you want seeds, no problem, you have to come up with the real money, right?
As for the issue of the first batch of promotion, it is still too early to say. If we want to promote it seriously, it will be next year.
By the time it spread to the entire Dai Kingdom, it was no longer known how many years had passed. After seeing the potatoes and sweet potatoes, Liu Deng came to the cornfield again.
I don’t know if it’s because of traveling through time and space, but these corns grow exceptionally strong. Not only are their roots thick, but each corn has at least two ears growing on it.
Although the corn was not ripe yet, Liu Deng reached out shiveringly and tore off some leaves, pinched a few milky white corn kernels from the inside, and put it into his mouth, savoring the long-lost taste.
It sure tastes like this!
In comparison, it may be that the promotion of corn is much easier than other grains. When he first bought it, it was only seven ears, but now, there is a dense patch of it growing in the entire back garden.
Liu Deng resisted the urge to break off a few ears, cook them and eat them. These were all seeds. When there was another good harvest next year, he could taste them with confidence.
"Your Majesty, what kind of treasure are these? Although they look like they have never been seen before, I don't see how beautiful they are. They are incomparable with the peonies over there!"
Du Ziteng stood behind Liu Deng, looking at his king's cautious look, and asked in a low voice.
"You know what the heck! These are real treasures. People must keep an eye on me. If something goes wrong now, I'll chop off your heads!"
Seeing that his flattery was slapped on the horse's leg, Du Ziteng could only agree with a smile.
Liu Deng didn't care about him. He had already finished the chili oil. After finally waiting for these chili peppers to grow up, he didn't want to wait for a moment now.
He took out a pair of scissors from the pavilion next to him and carefully started picking peppers.
Three large flower beds were neatly covered with peppers. Liu Deng didn't want to leave it to anyone else. He picked them one by one with scissors in front of him. He cut off the ones that were fully mature and cut off those that were not yet fully mature. Leave it all on the plant, don't dare waste any at this time.
Du Ziteng and several guards followed Liu Deng. Liu Deng cut some pieces and they picked them up. Later, they carried the clothes around. The joy of the harvest made Liu Deng particularly happy today. Even in Guangling, He didn't even bother to read the urgent report that was sent.
It's just some trivial matters. It's not important for me to pick chili peppers!
