The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui comforted Xiao Qingqing for a long time before she calmed down, and then asked her about her future plans, but she didn't dare to show her face, fearing that her father would catch her and send her back to Lanling again, so she was going to find a chance Seeing my mother secretly, maybe I can learn some inside stories from her.

Xiao Rui naturally wanted to help her and create a chance for her to meet Princess Ruyang, and Xiao Qingqing boldly dragged Xiao Rui into the inner room in order to thank her and to understand her longing for so many days.

"Qingqing, isn't it too good to announce that in broad daylight?" Xiao Rui was acting like a good boy, and he had already started to undress.

Xiao Qingqing was ashamed and said: "It's really not good, so forget it."

"That can't be done! Little lady," Xiao Rui picked her up, turned around and entered the inner room.

The yin and yang are blended, and the beauty can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Rui felt the comfort after being released. Although he was soft-spoken and soft-handed, Xiao Rui did not let King Ruyang go.

Just like what he promised Xiao Qingqing, if King Ruyang lets go now, and honestly returns to his hometown to take care of his old age after confessing his forgiveness, Xiao Rui will let Xiao Qingqing forget the past for the sake of Xiao Qingqing's sake. If not, then you can only be ruthless.

Back in the East Palace, just as he sat down, Lu Zhi brought over the brewed tea.

"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?" Lu Zhi asked aloud.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Nothing is impossible. People can't help themselves in the court hall, let alone the position of the prince. Ejin, do you have any troubles?"

Lu Zhi's delicate body trembled, she looked at Xiao Rui with a horrified expression, and asked, "Your Highness, what did you call me?"

"Ah, what's the matter?"

As soon as Xiao Rui finished speaking, he suddenly realized what the problem was. Lu Zhi's word was correct, but Lu Zhi in front of him had never said her word, but even if he hadn't, don't be so surprised.

"How does Your Highness know my word?" Lu Zhi realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly regained her composure, but her heart was still flustered, because almost no one knew this word, not even her sister Lu Su.

Xiao Rui smiled coyly, he couldn't say that he knew it in his previous life, so he pretended to be profound and said: "This king has his own way! There is no impenetrable wall in this world, and nothing is absolutely hidden, don't you think so? ?”

Lu Zhi's heart was overwhelmed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he said: "Yes!"

Xiao Rui heaved a sigh of relief secretly, almost revealing his secrets, but luckily he rounded himself back.

"It's getting late, you go back and rest." Xiao Rui waved her hand to let her back down.

Only then did Lu Zhi retreat, and when he reached the palace of female officials, the turmoil in his heart stopped, and he did not dare to act rashly.

In the next few days, Xiao Rui studied government affairs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the morning, and went to Zhan Shifu in the afternoon. Xiao Qingqing also got in touch with her mother and concubine. As for the result of the chat, Xiao Rui did not ask.

On the third day of March, with only twelve days left before Xiao Rui's wedding, Shen Wansan's eight seagoing ships entered the Yangtze River from Shanghai, then headed west, and finally arrived in Kyoto.

After Xiao Rui left the early court, he asked Emperor Xia for leave and explained the reason.

"The fleet you sent to the South Islet countries has returned?" Emperor Xia heard Xiao Rui mention it before, but he didn't expect to come back in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Yes, father, so my ministers want to greet them in person and clean up the dust for them!"

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "Maritime trade is full of dangers. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Many business groups in Daxia are trying to go south to make money. I heard that there are jewels and spices everywhere in the Nanyu countries. It’s a return of success. This time your fleet has done something that others dare not do, which is of great significance! The treasures you want to bring back are also full of treasures!”

Xiao Rui didn't take it seriously: "Father, my son is now the crown prince. To be honest, yellow and white things are not very attractive to me, so the spices and gems on the boat are second!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Rui's tone became solemn, "My son is concerned about two treasures that have never appeared in the mainland of China. These two treasures are the most important thing! Father, remember to push Is it the eulogy on the back picture that predicts to pass through the harsh winter? If you pick up the gods to determine the universe, the ambitions of all living beings in the central government will not be empty! The two treasures mentioned by the minister are likely to be the gods!"

"What?" Emperor Xia showed a rare look of horror, suddenly got up from the dragon chair, and then asked: "Huanger, tell me in detail!"

Xiao Rui hurriedly told Emperor Xia about the characteristics and yield of potatoes and corn. After hearing this, Emperor Xia's eyes brightened.

As the third and fourth crops in the previous life, the appearance of potatoes and corn will expand the planting structure of the Xia Kingdom. Many terrains that are not suitable for planting rice and wheat can be planted with corn and wheat.

"No wonder you strongly suggested that I clear the world's fertile land. Do you want to promote potatoes and corn on a large scale?" Emperor Xia's eyes lit up.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Yes, Father! Although the existing cultivated land in Daxia is as high as 1,986.18 million mu, there is still a lot of cultivated land that has been abandoned due to reasons such as terrain and soil acid-alkaline characteristics. 30% to 40%! If all the 40% of the abandoned farmland is turned into cultivated land, the extra grain will be enough for the people to feed themselves."

"Father, my son has gathered dozens of farmers and bought hundreds of acres of land outside the city. Now the land has been plowed, and the potatoes and corn are ready to be planted! My son hopes to use two or three years to make the land Potato and corn seeds spread throughout the country!"

Since Xiao Rui knew that potatoes and corn had arrived, he started to do all this, and he didn't tell His Majesty that he was going to give him a surprise, but now, it's time to talk.

Because next, His Majesty's cooperation is needed!

Emperor Xia got up immediately and said: "Let's go, I will accompany you out of the palace, I want to see the corn and potatoes you mentioned! You boy, if the boat has not returned, are you still not going to tell me? No wonder that day When you look at the picture of Tuibei, you don't seem to be curious about what a fetish is, so you already know what a fetish is!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's too early to say it, my father doesn't believe it."

Immediately, the two left the palace and rushed to the riverside wharf under the escort of the prince's personal guards.

At this time, there are eight huge sea-going ships docked in the middle of the river. Their height and scale far exceed that of ordinary cargo ships. Because of the relatively large draft of sea-going ships, they cannot approach the shore, so they can only dock in the middle of the river. The cargo is unloaded from the cargo ship and transported to shore.

Shen Wansan was obviously tanned and had lost a lot of weight. When he got on the pier by boat, he saw Xiao Rui walking towards him. He hurriedly stepped forward, as if seeing a lost relative, and bowed his hands: "Your Highness, my lord Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and returned safely!"

Xiao Rui also stepped forward quickly, helped him up, watched his big belly become flat, laughed and said: "Zhong Rong, seeing you like this, it seems that life at sea is very tormenting!"

"Don't mention your Highness, I vomited for half a month, and the feeling of seasickness is really bad!" Shen Wansan laughed.

At this time, Shen Wansan noticed a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing standing beside Xiao Rui, and looking at the situation, it seemed that His Highness was going to be inferior, so that His Royal Highness, the crown prince, would be inferior... Shen Wansan's eyes immediately Stare!

Xiao Rui said: "Zhong Rong, why don't you pay homage to my father? Your Majesty heard that you have brought treasures that are beneficial to Da Xia from the South Islet countries, and came here to welcome you!"

Shen Wansan was overwhelmed by the feeling of flattery, and hurriedly bowed: "Craftsman Shen Wansan kowtowed to my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "Excuse me! You are not afraid of life and death, you went south to the South Island countries, and brought new grain potatoes and corn to Daxia. I will definitely reward you for your merits!"

This time it was Shen Wansan's turn to be shocked, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then he looked at Xiao Rui, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, this subordinate still wants to play a charade to give His Highness a surprise, but he didn't report the potato and corn. How did His Highness know?"

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "The Shanren have their own tricks, don't delay, quickly bring the potatoes and corn, and let my father see it!"

"Yes!" Shen Wansan immediately went to get it.

Xiao Rui, Xia Huang and others moved to the room at the dock and sat here waiting.

Soon, Shen Wansan brought potatoes, corn and peppers.

It was the first time Emperor Xia saw these three things, and he looked them up and down, full of curiosity.

At the same time, Shen Wansan also brought boiled potatoes, steamed buns with cornmeal, and of course shredded potatoes fried with chili.

After Xia Huang ate it, he shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful! These potatoes have a strong sense of fullness! I only ate three, and I feel full! In addition, although the steamed buns made from cornmeal are a little rough, they still taste good. .Especially the chili and potato shreds, the taste is amazing!"

Xiao Rui also tasted shredded potatoes. After traveling here for so long, he finally ate chili peppers.

"Father, my son didn't lie to you, right! Potatoes and corn are both resistant to storage. Potatoes can be dried into dried potatoes, let alone corn! As for pepper, it will completely change the taste buds of the world." Xiao Rui laughed.

Emperor Xia nodded and asked hastily, "How many potatoes, corn and peppers did you bring back?"

Shen Wansan said respectfully: "10,000 catties of potatoes, 5,000 catties of corn, and 3,000 catties of peppers! Store them in a shady boat, and they can be taken out for planting at any time!"

A potato can be cut into more than a dozen pieces for planting, and three or four grains of corn can be planted into one tree. From this point of view, the hundreds of acres of arable land that Xiao Rui ordered people to prepare are all gone!

"Father, it seems that the arable land that I have prepared is less! Shen Wansan brought back enough seeds!" Xiao Rui laughed.

Emperor Xia immediately ordered: "How can the emperor worry about such a major event that benefits the country and the people? It doesn't matter if there is less cultivated land, I have more land for the emperor! The Zhan Shi Mansion allocated to you by your mother's imperial land, the emperor sent someone to watch over it, such a major event that benefits the country and the people must not be slackened!"

"I understand!" Xiao Rui immediately accepted the order.

Emperor Xia nodded, and tasted the potatoes and corn buns again. The feeling of fullness in his stomach made him seem to see the happiness of the people having food to satisfy their hunger under the harsh winter in the future.

"My lord, I don't even know how to reward you for such a great event of great utility!" Xia Huang said sincerely.

Xiao Rui said: "I didn't do this for rewards. I believe that other people will do the same!"

"Not bad, not bad!" Emperor Xia's smile became wider. Having such a son is not only a blessing for him, but also a blessing for the country!
