The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

When Shen Wansan got ashore, he saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was already waiting. Excited, he hurried forward to salute, but Xiao Rui grabbed his arm.

"Zhongrong, thank you for your hard work, look at you are tanned again." Xiao Rui laughed.

Shen Wansan excitedly said: "The subordinates don't work hard at all, and they can contribute value to the prosperity of the country and the people of Daxia. Your Majesty is very frightened, how dare you bother Your Majesty and Your Highness to greet him personally?"

"I welcome...what? What did you say?" Xiao Rui stared, what did he hear just now?

At this moment, hearty laughter sounded from behind: "Master Shen brought corn, potatoes, peppers, and countless treasures to Daxia on his voyage last time. This time, he must return with a full load. You are the hero of Daxia. Come here!" Welcome is what it should be!"

The corner of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched, and when he looked back, he saw His Majesty in casual clothes standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

Behind His Majesty, there are Hai Dafu, Mu Chen and others. Xiao Rui didn't know when they arrived.

Is your attribute a ghost? Walk without making a sound!

Also... now it's troublesome.

Sure enough, Emperor Xia asked the teacher with a smile, "Did the emperor be negligent for a while, or did you deliberately hide it from me? Did you not want me to come? Are you afraid that I will take your money?"

"How is it possible! Erchen is such a person!" Xiao Rui immediately retorted, then rolled his eyes, and immediately had an idea.

He pointed at Hai Dafu, with an angry expression on his face, and scolded: "Grandpa Hai, you actually didn't report such a big thing as the ship's return, are you guilty?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui pleaded: "Father, my son told Eunuch Hai the time when the sea boat returned, and asked him to report to Father himself. But now it seems that Eunuch Hai forgot. , Sometimes it is normal to suffer from dementia. I also ask my father to forgive him for his mistakes because he has served for many years and has no children, and just fine him a little money."

Hai Dafu opened his mouth, His Highness's framing came too fast, he pleaded for himself before he could even react.

What can I do now, plead guilty honestly, strive for leniency, and believe that His Majesty can tell the truth from black to white.

"Your Majesty please punish me for being negligent for a while." Hai Dafu looked sad.

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "The crown prince pleads for you, then I will forgive you and fine you three months' salary as a warning."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, and thank Your Highness the Crown Prince for pleading." Hai Dafu thanked him.

Then a group of people moved to the living room of the pier, and Shen Wansan also ordered someone to bring the treasures brought back from the voyage.

When the first treasure was taken out, Xiao Rui clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: "YES"!

"My Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, this thing is called Sweet Potato. It has strong adaptability, and has excellent characteristics that are not suitable for any land. It can produce dozens of stones per mu, which is twenty times better than seed grain! Your Majesty, this thing can be eaten raw or cooked. , the yield is not only high, but also resistant to barrenness, not inferior to potatoes and corn, it is definitely a good treasure to solve the famine!" Shen Wansan said excitedly.

"Really? There is such a treasure!"

Emperor Xia was overjoyed. Corn and potatoes made him extremely happy. Unexpectedly, a new crop came. He immediately cut a piece of sweet potato and tasted it. It was crisp and juicy, and the taste was not bad.

Shen Wansan said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this plant is easy to plant. It only needs to prepare the ground for seedlings, and cutting vines can survive! It is a good crop for famine relief. The only bad feature is that it likes temperature and fears cold, and it is not cold-resistant, but it can be grown in the south. Plant on a large scale!"

Emperor Xia Zheng nodded and asked, "Is there any more?"

Shen Wansan ordered someone to take out another object, which was a white fluffy ball.

Xiao Rui really wanted to cheer, this is cotton!

During Shen Wansan's voyage this time, the three treasures that Xiao Rui dreamed of were: sweet potatoes, cotton and white pigs!

Then Shen Wansan introduced the characteristics of cotton to Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia was very pleasantly surprised. He stroked the cotton with both hands and felt the texture of cotton. He said hello three times in a row!

As long as cotton is promoted to the world, the people will have clothes to keep out the cold, and even if the temperature drops suddenly, so many people will not die.

Next, Shen Wansan took out some rare treasures, but unfortunately, without the white pigs that Xiao Rui needed, it seemed impossible to improve the local black pigs in Daxia.

On the way back to the palace, His Majesty still loved sweet potatoes and cotton.

"Prince, in the next two years, the main task of me and you is to let potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and cotton spread all over the territory of Daxia! Let the people recognize the goodness of these new crops and actively plant them! Other things can be postponed! Including the champion You are not in a hurry to attack Qi!" Emperor Xia said solemnly.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I understand!"

Both Daxia and Qin will manage the occupied territory, so the western border is very safe. In the south, there is Yan State as a barrier, so there is no need to worry about Wei State. The north ordered the champion Hou to garrison in Fengtian, and there was no need to continue to attack Qi, because at this time Qi had already started civil strife, and Daxia only needed to wait quietly, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The winter in Qi State is too cold today, coupled with the lack of food, under the conditions of hunger and cold, hundreds of thousands of refugees died of freezing and starvation. Fortunately, the weather is cold, if the weather is hot, the plague may occur! It will lead to a greater disaster!

The status quo of Qi reminded Emperor Xia, so after he got sweet potatoes and cotton, he couldn't wait to promote it to the world.

What Daxia needs to do now is to keep accumulating strength and prepare for the Little Ice River, not to expand the territory!

When the Little Ice Age broke out completely, when other countries were in dire straits, and when Daxia had no worries about food and clothing, it was the beginning of Daxia's conquest of the world!

Back in the palace, Emperor Xia immediately exchanged for several cabinet scholars, and everyone began to discuss how to promote sweet potatoes and cotton.

In the next few days, Xiao Rui also started his plan. He suggested to His Majesty to send Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji to the north to follow Champion Hou.

Although Champion Hou's army will not continue to attack Qi, the small fights there will not stop. Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji are legendary generals on the battlefield, it would be too wasteful to stay by Xiao Rui's side as guards, I believe that with their abilities, they will definitely be able to make a great reputation in Qi State.

At the same time, Xiao Rui sent Guo Jia to the country of Wa by boat, and he had his own plan, so let's not mention it for now.

After Shen Wansan handled the goods brought back by the voyage, he immediately set off for Anxi Fourteen Prefectures to assist Xiao He in making Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank even bigger!

So far, only Li Yuanfang and Jia Xu are left beside Xiao Rui.

It is the greatest respect for these descendants to let them display their talents, instead of letting them stay by their side and become their own guards and counselors.

Seeking things is the way, but seeking the world is the way.

Next, Xiao Rui's work focus will also shift from studying politics to governing the country. He plans to spend one to two years starting from the four aspects of basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to completely create a brand new and vibrant Great Summer!

This was the goal he and Emperor Xia had jointly formulated after discussing for a long time.

Together with Daxia, come on!
