The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 480

[Chapter 480 The gift from the minister]

Perhaps, there is only one person in the entire capital who believes so firmly in the imperial court.

When Emperor Chu thought of this, the expression on his face gradually became amiable.

On the other side, Fang Xiu was sitting on a chair, but in his heart, ten thousand alpacas were rushing past.

Borrow money?

Am I not that kind of person! ?

Today, even if I starve to death, if I jump from here, I will never borrow a tael of silver!

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes, glanced at Emperor Chu, with a pitiful expression on his face, and asked: “Your Majesty, how about you lend me less?

Don’t worry, I will pay it back when the time comes!”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he

The warm look on his face disappeared in an instant, and he said expressionlessly: “I don’t have even one tael of silver.

You’d better not have any small thoughts here.”

Fang Xiu saw that his expression didn’t seem to be fake, so he immediately looked away. Pout.

This dog emperor is really stingy. After helping him so much, in the end he is not even willing to borrow some money.

“Tell me, what are you doing here today?”

After the joke was over, Emperor Chu’s expression became serious. He looked at Fang Xiu and said slowly.

Although they had been talking about borrowing money, he understood in his heart.

On the surface, Fang Xiu has a cynical attitude, but in fact he is worried about the people of the world.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to say that “Be worried about the world’s worries first, and be happy after the world’s happiness.”

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he straightened his posture and said, “Your Majesty, I want to give you a gift when I see you this time.”

Emperor Chu was slightly startled when he heard this.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face and asked: “Oh? What gift?”

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu with a solemn expression on his face, and slowly uttered seven words: “All the people in the world are happy!”

Emperor Chu heard this When I heard these seven words, I was startled at first, and then my expression became a little strange.

Are all the people in the world happy?

This is such a difficult thing, not to mention him, even the wise kings of thousands of generations would have difficulty doing it.

Just seven words, but countless kings have struggled for their whole lives, but in the end it was difficult to achieve even a little bit.

Now, he tells himself so openly that he wants to make “all the people in the world happy”?

This was a bit too much.

Emperor Chu thought of this, shook his head, looked at Fang Xiu, and said: “Fang Xiu, do you know what you mean by saying this?”

Fang Xiu nodded and said firmly: “Of course I know. “

Seeing his expression, Emperor Chu thought for a while and said, “I believe you, you are never a targetless person.

Tell me, how can I make the people of this world happy?”

Fang Xiu said: “I just need to do this. The same thing is sweet potato!”

He did not continue to talk about it, but said very straightforwardly.

When Emperor Chu heard the word ‘sweet potato’, he was stunned.

There was a look of thinking on his face. He thought for a moment, but he didn’t understand what this sweet potato was.

Could it be that he believed in benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom?

His eyes subconsciously looked at Liu Cheng beside him.

When Liu Cheng saw Emperor Chu’s expression, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Because he didn’t understand what this sweet potato was.

As the emperor’s eyes and ears, this was already the third time he had encountered something he had never heard of, and it was all at Fang Xiu’s place.

I really don’t know where this guy Fang Xiu heard these new words.

Emperor Chu just glanced at Liu Cheng and knew in his heart that he could not count on him.

So, he raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked: “What is a sweet potato, and why have I never heard of it?” If you

know something, you know it, and if you don’t know it, you don’t know it. This is the saying of a sage.

The Emperor of Chu was familiar with the books of sages, so he naturally understood.

Fang Xiu thought for a moment and explained, “Your Majesty, sweet potatoes are a kind of food.”

“Food?”

A surprised expression appeared on Emperor Chu’s face.

He thought a lot about what this sweet potato was. It might be a weapon similar to heavenly punishment, or it might be some so-called ‘auspiciousness’, or it might be a saying from a saint, but he

didn’t expect that it turned out to be a kind of food. !

Fang Xiu nodded and said: “It is indeed a kind of food, and it is food obtained by me from outside China.”

He paused, and without waiting for the Emperor of Chu to ask, he began to explain: “This kind of food can be used in various Surviving in a harsh environment, it can still grow even in the coldest months of winter, but it is not as vigorous.

In addition, it does not require as much water as rice and wheat, and it can still grow even in droughts like those in the Central Plains. Normal growth

has no requirements for land, and even wasteland will not have much impact.

These are just the second ones. The most important thing about this sweet potato is its yield.

I don’t know the specific yield, but I do know one thing, that is, the yield of sweet potatoes per acre is at least three or four times that of rice and wheat.

If you plant sweet potatoes in the ground in the spring of next year, you will be able to get a lot of food in three or four months without taking careful care! “

After saying so much in one breath, Fang Xiu felt that his voice had become a little hoarse. He subconsciously picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip.

On the dragon throne, Emperor Chu was completely I was stunned.

It was not because of Fang Xiu’s impoliteness, but

because I was shocked that there was such a “perfect” food in the world.

If this sweet potato was really what Fang Xiu said, there would still be people in the world who couldn’t eat it. Maybe a

famine

like this will never happen again in the Central Plains!

If that were the case, wouldn’t it be true that all the people in the world would be happy?

Emperor Chu couldn’t help but feel excited

for a long time .

I don’t feel like this anymore.

Since I became emperor,

I have only seen him twice,

and this time it happened that the protagonist was the same person – Fang Xiu

! It’s a sincere trust.

He also knows that Fang Xiu is never a targetless person. Of course, there is no such thing as “taking credit”.

In the eyes of the world, this playboy is disdainful.

He would not do anything like “taking advantage of others” which is common in the court.

Everything

he did and said was for the sake of the court, the people of the world, or for me. This emperor!

Whether it was heaven’s punishment or surgery, it was all like this.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu could no longer bear it. He stood up from the dragon chair and walked to Fang Xiu, staring at him with a pair of deep eyes. He asked very solemnly: “I ask you, is what you said true? “

Fang Xiu had already stood up when Emperor Chu left the Dragon Throne.

Hearing this, his expression became very serious, and he replied: “I am willing to use my wealth and life as a guarantee. This sweet potato is really like this. As I said, it is cold tolerant, drought tolerant, and has high yield,

even if there are some mistakes, it is almost the same. ”
