Chapter 384: The atmosphere has been set for you!
"Master Tian, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Yun Shu helplessly joked:
"Isn't this still not done?"
"Even if it doesn't work, the current yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu is enough to make the people of Tiansheng live a good life!"
Mr. Tian burst into tears:
"My ancestors were peasants, and my father experienced famine when he was young.
At that time, even the grass roots and tree barks had been eaten up. In order to give the last bit of food to the children, my great-grandmother starved to death.
When the hardest time came, my grandfather and his people almost wanted to exchange my aunt for someone else and eat their children!
Fortunately... Fortunately, the disaster relief grain from the imperial court finally arrived at that time.
Although each person could only get a bowl of clear porridge every day, there was food at least.
But my aunt still didn't survive.
She had accidentally learned about her grandfather's intentions the night before, and she was so scared that she ran away from home.
As a result, before we had walked far, we were attacked by a group of refugees who were so hungry that they had lost their minds..."
As he spoke, he choked up:
"My father was still young at the time, and when he suddenly heard about this from my grandmother's crying, he became frightened and fell ill.
In order to keep my father alive, my grandfather and his comrades fed almost all of the porridge they received as disaster relief to my father.
In the end, grandparents all starved to death. Only the old minister's father survived. He was picked up by a kind-hearted old man and became a book boy for the old man's grandson.
It was also because the old minister's father was lucky. When he accompanied the young master of the wealthy family to study at the academy, the teacher of the academy discovered that he had a talent for studying.
When the old official learned about it, with the idea of establishing a good relationship with him, he made the old minister's father go to school seriously.
The old minister's father knew that opportunities were hard to come by, so he studied harder than anyone else.
It's just that it's more difficult for people of ordinary background to pursue a career in government than for children of aristocratic families.
In addition, his talent was indeed limited. Throughout his entire life, my father only achieved the position of a sixth-rank prefect in the local area.
When I was young, I often heard my father say that his lifelong wish was to end famine in the world.
It was a pity that he failed to do so, so in the year when the old minister was able to enter the officialdom, he passed on this hope to the old minister.
What can I do? I, the old minister, also don’t have that kind of ability…”
"I thought that after several years, I would be too embarrassed to face my father.
But I never expected... I never expected that in my lifetime, this old minister would actually wait for this day!"
Lord Tian raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
He had knelt down because his knees were weak due to his emotional ups and downs, but after some adjustments, he finally performed a proper and proper salute to Yun Shu:
"On behalf of the people of the world, I would like to thank Your Highness for saving the people!"
"..."
No, her father is still here.
Even if the emperor doesn't suspect her, it's not a good idea to be so open in front of her, right?
Which emperor would like his crown prince to have a higher reputation than the emperor himself!
Yun Shu subconsciously glanced at Emperor Xuanwu, only to see that the latter not only did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but instead had a look of pride and honor.
Yun Shu: “…”
Well, when it comes to being broad-minded and having a big vision, it has to be her father.
This shows that the deposed prince back then was truly useless!
A hand of good cards turned out to be a rice field. Yun Shu was feeling both emotional and complaining, but his hands did not slow down at all, and he quickly helped Mr. Tian:
"Master Tian has already raised the atmosphere to its highest point. When we go to Tomato's place later, the mood can't be any more intense than it is now. Wouldn't it be awkward then?"
Mr. Tian: “?”
Emperor Xuanwu: “???”
No, the atmosphere has already been set for you, so what's wrong with you saying some moving and sentimental words?
Do we have to cause some destruction?
For a moment, even Yun Chuhuan, who was almost moved, was choked with emotion.
Fortunately, Mr. Tian soon realized the meaning of Yun Shu's words.
"Your Highness just said this... Could it be that the yield per acre of tomatoes can be higher than that of sweet potatoes?"
“It’s definitely higher.”
I thought it would be good for everyone to be shocked all at once, so that they don't have to relive the situation again later.
Yun Shu said cheerfully:
"It's probably about 10,000 jin!"
Pfft!
Mr. Tian, who had just stood up, sat back down again with weak legs:
"Snatch, seize the young master?"
Yun Shu: “…”
I took a group of people to the tomato field and watched them touching and looking around the fields like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Yunshu gave some thoughtful advice:
"It's actually okay to pick one and eat it directly to taste it."
"Eat it directly?"
One of the ministers looked at the tomato in his hand in surprise:
"I thought this was some kind of grain crop, but it turns out to be a fruit?"
"You can eat it as a fruit or cook it in a dish, it depends on what you like."
Yun Shu nodded and explained casually:
"It's just that I ordered the kitchen to prepare all the cooked dishes. If you want to taste the raw food, it will be more convenient here."
"good to eat!"
While Yun Shu was still talking to someone, Yun Chuhuan beside him had already picked a big red tomato without hesitation, rubbed it on his sleeve twice, and then couldn't wait to take a big bite.
The sweet and sour tomato juice instantly burst in his mouth.
Yun Chuhuan immediately gave a thumbs up and praised vaguely:
"It's so delicious! But, it's a little watery..."
He was caught off guard and his hands were covered with liquid, and even his clothes on his chest were stained with a lot of it.
Yun Chuhuan rubbed his clothes in annoyance.
The ministers who saw this scene were even happier.
"This one thing can both fill my stomach and quench my thirst. Wonderful! It's simply wonderful!"
With Yun Chuhuan taking the lead and demonstrating, the ministers behind him also picked a tomato and tasted it.
Although a few of them were much more careful than Yun Chuhuan, they still couldn't completely avoid being splashed with juice, and their faces didn't show any sign of surprise.
Still smiling and praising:
"For something with such a high yield per mu, it doesn't matter if it tastes a little unpalatable.
But it tastes so refreshing. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes today, I would never have believed that there is such a good thing in the world!
We, the people of Tiansheng, are truly blessed!"
