BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100 - 100 Reply Letter
On the one hand, he suspected whether he had read the letter wrongly, and on the other hand, he doubted the authenticity of the letter, even if the person who wrote the letter was his most trusted nephew.
However, the handwriting and the unique marks in the letter were clearly written by Ming Zhiyan. Could it be that his nephew wrote it to coax him? He could not help but think so.
However, he denied it. It could not be. Ming Zhiyan was the most stable person he knew. With his cold and indifferent personality, how could he write such a letter to coax him?
When he thought of this, he could not help but feel ecstatic. He knew that in the letter, someone in Shifeng County had discovered four types of high-yielding grains! A yield of up to 1,000 catties per acre!
What did this mean? It meant that he, Great Wei, no longer had to fear the four neighboring countries that were eyeing him like a tiger! It meant that the people of Great Wei would no longer go hungry! It meant that the soldiers and soldiers in the army had the strength to fight! It also meant…
It meant that he, Great Wei, had the possibility of unifying the Central Plains!
When he thought of this possibility, his head was excited, his eyes were sore, and two lines of clear tears suddenly flowed down.
Eunuch Zhong shouted, “Your Majesty!”
As he said that, he immediately handed over a bright yellow handkerchief.
The Emperor waved his hand away and wiped his tears with his sleeve carelessly. He could not suppress his excitement and stood up with the letter, pacing around the study room.
Sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and yams. His mind was filled with these four crops that he had never seen before. He could not help but complain about Ming Zhiyan. Why did he not send some over for him to see for himself?
Oh, the letter also mentioned that there was a crop that could make one’s body warm up after eating it. It seemed to be called chili…?
Yes! It was chili!
He suddenly turned his head and stared at the two small bottles on the desk with bright eyes. He quickly rushed over, opened the cork, and smelled it.
Eunuch Zhong was shocked, but it was already too late. He could only cry without tears and call out, “Your Majesty, please allow me to check the items first.”
If anything happened to the Emperor, his head would be gone.
The Emperor waved his hand carelessly and handed the two bottles to him. “Go, get the imperial chef to cook lunch with this.”
Eunuch Zhong hurriedly took them and respectfully left.
The Emperor calmed down slightly. He picked up a pen and wrote a reply letter.
In the letter, he wrote that he must not let the people of other countries about their expansion of the high-yield grain. He also asked him to deal with Song Yuancheng’s group of pests as soon as possible so that he could take full control of Cairo City.
After he finished writing, he thought for a moment and said, “Men, call General Weiwu over.”
He planned to send an army to Shifeng County to guard it and build it into an impregnable fortress. Before the high-yielding grain could be planted all over the country, he would not any spy get hold of such information.
…
It was almost the end of the year, and Shifeng County was bustling with activity. The streets were bustling with people, and the people buying and selling goods were all laughing and chatting.
In the sky above a certain street in the county, waves of fragrance wafted over.
Beside the street, there were many tables for people to eat at. The tables were filled with people, and there were many people waiting for their turn.
The people sitting at the tables were burying their heads in their food, not caring about anything else.
There were vendors constantly shouting, “Hot pot! Hot pot! Fragrant hot pot! If you pass by, don’t miss it!”
It turned out that there were more than a dozen vendors making spicy hot pot here. They were all from the Jian Family Village.
After the chili sauce was fermented, Jian Qingqing tried to make the spicy hot pot. First, she passed some to Jian Rong and the Village Chief. They already sold stewed meat sell, and now they also sold spicy hot pot. The business was booming.
