Chapter 1150 Back in the Carriage
Looking at General Cheng, the emperor's voice trembled a little. A span of dozens of miles must be a huge area.
The road under my feet is like this, I can’t think of where to go next.
The ministers were all extremely shocked and began to discuss in low voices.
Seeing how surprised they were, Lao Zhao felt extremely proud.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. The prince and princess are still waiting."
"Oh, okay." The emperor nodded.
He turned around and got back on the carriage, and all the ministers also got on the carriage.
Walking on the asphalt road was not only comfortable, but also much faster. Seeing the trees on both sides of the road running back like thieves, the emperor's mood improved again.
He held the car window and looked out. When he saw the rows of shining glass roofs, he called Lao Zhao over.
"Is that the greenhouse?"
Following the direction of the emperor's finger, Old Zhao nodded.
"Your Majesty, that is the greenhouse of our people's homes."
Nowadays, in addition to the greenhouse at the doorstep of the people, four more have been built in the fields. They now stand neatly on both sides of the road, looking very beautiful.
The emperor thought so too and stopped the carriage again.
I had only heard others talk about it before, but now that I had seen it with my own eyes, I had to go and see it.
The ministers also got off the carriage with the emperor and followed him to the greenhouses.
When people heard that the emperor was coming early in the morning, they stood on both sides of the road waiting.
Seeing the large army rushing towards their own greenhouses, the people gathered around.
Looking at the rows of glass roofs dazzled by the sunlight, the emperor was in a very good mood.
There was no need for anyone to lead the way, he went straight to the greenhouse.
Although the temperature in Qingzhou Prefecture is relatively low, the weather in August is still very hot.
The temperature in the greenhouse is even higher, and you can feel the heat on your face as soon as you enter.
Looking at the lush corn seedlings growing inside, they are obviously much more vigorous than those I have seen along the way.
The emperor's face lit up with joy, and he hurried over, touching the plump corn cobs curiously, then turned to look at Lao Zhao.
“Is this the sticky corn that Chen’er cultivated?”
I have heard Chen'er say before that this kind of corn not only tastes good but also has a high yield.
Along the way, the corn cobs in the fields were very small, not as big as the ones in front of me.
"Your Majesty, this is sticky corn."
Old Zhao spoke respectfully, with a hint of pride. After all, this was the territory under his jurisdiction. Looking at the growth in front of him, it seemed that this year would be another bumper harvest.
"Oh, how many greenhouses are there?"
The emperor pointed at the sticky corn in front of him with a look of joy. Seeing that the cobs were so big, he knew that he would harvest a lot of grain.
I just don’t know how many such greenhouses there are, and whether the people have surplus grain to sell.
If there is, the people in other states will also be able to benefit from it.
"Your Majesty, every household in Qingzhou Prefecture has five of these greenhouses. The food produced in one greenhouse is enough to keep everyone well fed and clothed."
Old Zhao became more and more proud as he spoke, and even started gesturing with his hands.
What he meant was that he was telling the emperor that the common people only needed a greenhouse of food to have enough food to eat.
The grain from the other four greenhouses is not only enough to meet the tax bill, but also enough to sell.
"Oh, okay, hahaha... okay!" The emperor's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
He touched the big corn cob in front of him with curiosity. If this was the case, then even if other states suffered from drought again, they could transfer some food from here.
Although I can't say that I can fill my stomach, at least I won't starve to death.
Just when we were happy, a white-haired old lady came over with a basket.
"I greet the emperor."
Just as he was about to salute, he was stopped by the emperor.
"No thanks, what are you doing?"
The emperor said this, pointing to the basket she was holding.
It was filled with cantaloupes that I had eaten before, and they were now emitting an enticing aroma.
"Your Majesty, these are the melons grown in my humble home. I picked some especially for you and washed them with clean water."
As the old woman spoke, she handed over the basket.
This is the best one grown in my own field, and I wanted to let the emperor have a taste of it.
"Oh, okay, thank you very much!"
The emperor smiled and nodded, taking the basket without hesitation.
Looking at the golden melon, I picked one up directly. After taking a bite, my mouth and heart felt even sweeter.
"Mm, not bad, delicious!"
The fact that an ordinary family can eat such a sweet melon is enough to show that their lives are good.
Seeing that the emperor was not arrogant at all, the old woman also smiled happily.
He walked out trembling and started showing off to everyone he met.
When the emperor walked out of the greenhouse, he was shocked by everything he saw.
The people were waiting here with baskets in their hands. Some baskets contained small cucumbers, some contained bright red persimmons, and some contained big watermelons.
They all wanted to let the emperor taste the best things in their home so that he would know how good their lives were.
Looking at everything in front of him, which formed a sharp contrast with what he had seen along the way, the emperor's eyes became moist.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the people, how could he refuse? He waved his hand.
"Take them all and let everyone have a taste!"
When the people saw that the emperor had taken their belongings, they were overjoyed.
The guards who followed were extremely happy and came up to carry things.
The convoy began to move forward slowly, and the emperor's depressed mood disappeared. He ate the melon in his hand while looking at the people outside the window.
Upon learning of the emperor's arrival, the people had already spontaneously waited on both sides of the road.
From time to time, he handed the food in the basket to the soldiers passing by.
The soldiers were so happy that they kept thanking him and their hands were full of things.
In the capital, only wealthy families can afford this dish.
Now, they can eat as much as they want, and they are so happy.
The people were even happier and wanted to give away everything in the baskets so that others could also taste how sweet their own fruits were.
Although there were people on both sides of the road, the official road was wide after all, so it did not affect the speed of the car at all.
The journey usually takes two days, but we arrived just after dark.
As soon as they heard that they had reached the Far North, everyone could no longer sit still and got off the carriage impatiently.
When they saw the two neat rows of wolves on both sides of the road, they were so scared that they shrank their necks and got into the carriage again.
“………………”
Oh my god! Why are there so many wolves?
Wolves are wild beasts. If you get bit by one, you will definitely die!
“………………” Qin Chuchu’s mouth twitched.
Seeing those people getting back into the carriage out of fear, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.
This is a welcome ceremony, and look how scared they are. They are a bunch of people who have never seen the world.
“………………”Han Muchen’s face was full of black lines.
He glanced at Chuchu beside him with dissatisfaction. He had told her not to bring out so many wolves.
There are wolves swarming on both sides of the road. Who wouldn't be scared?
Seeing that they all got into the carriage, he hurriedly dismounted and came over.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. These wolves won't bite!"
