Chapter 1183 I am ashamed of myself
After hearing Han Muchen's words, the emperor was moved again.
I thought Chen'er would sell the grain to other countries. After all, the people in his country are too poor, and the price would be higher if sold to other countries.
I also wanted to persuade him, hoping that he would not care too much about interests and consider more about Dayu's people.
As a result, his son already had his plan in mind without him even saying anything. This touched him, but also made him feel a little ashamed, thinking that he was too narrow-minded.
Hearing his father's tentative tone and cautious words, Han Muchen decided to speak out what was in his heart.
"Father, I plan to popularize sticky corn in my country and then have people in other countries grow it. By then, everyone will have a better life and no one will want to start a war."
There have been constant border wars between countries for several years. The reason is that they are all poor. When their own people cannot get enough food, they think of invading other countries for their supplies.
If the people of all countries have enough food and live a prosperous life, I think no one would want to start a war.
Who doesn’t want to live a good life with a wife, children and a warm bed?
As if remembering something, he pointed in the direction of the base.
"Father, in a few years, the base here will be completely dug out, and by then all the underground greenhouses will be used to grow food.
I intend to store some every year, so that if our Yu the Great experiences another year of famine, the people will not starve to death."
This was also what he had planned early on. After more than one million greenhouses were dug, the amount of food produced would be more than just this.
At that time, some reserve grain will be stored in the warehouse, so that it can be taken out to help the people in case of famine or unexpected situation.
“………………”The emperor said nothing.
But her eyes were red. Compared with Chen'er, she was too narrow-minded.
Chen'er is truly righteous, and his mind is incomparable to that of his father. He had been thinking of all kinds of excuses before, but now it seems that there is no need for them.
The two chatted as they walked, talking about a lot of things, from the lives of the people to current affairs.
When we came out, it was just getting dark, but when we returned, it was completely dark.
That night, the emperor slept very comfortably and soundly, as if the burden on his shoulders had been lifted.
The next morning, when Qin Chuchu was half asleep, she felt her body shaking.
"Get up, Father and the others are going back to the capital today."
"Hmm?" Qin Chuchu frowned and looked at the sky outside with a grin. It was pitch black.
I really can't understand why the ancient people had to get up so early when it was obviously not something urgent.
Although the quilt was warm, he had to get out of it. He struggled for a long time before getting up and got out of bed with his eyes closed.
At this moment, in the young master's room, Concubine Jing was looking at her beloved grandson with tears in her eyes.
I have been inseparable from my beloved grandson these past few days, and he has clearly recognized him as his grandmother.
Every time I called him, he responded. I really liked him.
As soon as the emperor came in, he saw Xiaohua holding her beloved grandson in her arms with a look of reluctance on her face, so he went over and sat down in front of her.
"Reluctant?"
"Yeah." Concubine Jing looked up.
When I heard the old man say that, I couldn't bear it anymore. Tears started falling down my face and I wiped them away left and right.
“………………”The emperor frowned.
I wanted to say a few words of comfort, but this is just nonsense.
"Your Majesty, may I...?"
Concubine Jing looked at the emperor with grievance, wanting to discuss with the old man about staying for a few more days, but she was interrupted by the emperor before she could finish her words.
"No!" The emperor's face immediately darkened.
As soon as I saw Xiaohua like this, I knew what he was going to say. If I left it here, who knows when I could go back.
When she saw that the old man had rejected her, Concubine Jing glared at him fiercely, then turned her body away, holding back her tears.
“………………”The emperor’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, he seemed to remember something and a calculating look flashed across his eyes.
"Xiaohua, do you want to see your good grandson more often?"
"Huh?" Concubine Jing was stunned and quickly turned her head back.
He stared straight at the emperor in front of him, not knowing what these words meant.
"You go down first!" The emperor looked at Linglong and several maids beside him.
I must tell Xiaohua about this alone, so that others won't accuse me of plotting against my son.
Seeing that all the servants had been sent out, Concubine Jing was even more curious.
I don't know what this old man is talking about, he is so mysterious.
"Xiaohua, if we build a highway from the capital to here, it won't take much time to go back and forth."
"Highway?" Concubine Jing still looked confused.
"Yes, I have calculated that if there were roads from the capital to here, it would only take three days to get here by car.
If we were to take Chen'er's tractor, it would probably take less than two days."
The emperor came close to Concubine Jing and said that it took them six days to get here by carriage, but if the road was paved, the speed would at least be doubled.
If we use that hand tractor, the speed will be even faster. It is estimated that we will arrive in less than two days.
"Really!" Concubine Jing's face lit up with joy.
If that's the case, then this road must be built, even if I can't come by then.
It would also be more convenient for Chen'er and the others to go back. The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she even looked at the emperor with more favor.
"Your Majesty, you must hurry up and repair the road as soon as possible so that Chen'er and the others can come back more often."
After hearing Xiaohua's words, the emperor sighed helplessly.
"Alas, my beloved concubine, you also know that the national treasury is now empty, and I am willing but unable to do anything!"
“………………”Princess Jing.
She rolled her eyes speechlessly at the emperor. What's the point of talking about this if there is no money? It's just a waste of time.
"Xiaohua, I don't have money, but Chen'er and the others do!"
“………………” Concubine Jing narrowed her eyes.
Staring straight at the emperor in front of him, it turned out that this was his plan.
"Why should Chen'er pay for the road we all take?"
After she finished speaking, she stood up, deliberately staying away from the emperor. She felt that he had been holding his fart in and had actually set his sights on his son.
Seeing that Xiaohua ignored him, the emperor moved closer and slapped Concubine Jing in the ear.
"Xiaohua, do you know how rich our Chen'er is?"
"Hmm?" Concubine Jing frowned and looked at the emperor warily, so as not to fall into his trap.
The emperor glanced towards the door, stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Concubine Jing.
"Chen'er's annual income is at least this amount!"
"How much is this?" Concubine Jing looked at the emperor's finger.
I knew my son had an easy life in the past two years, but I hadn't really calculated how much money he had.
"One hundred million taels, that's still a conservative estimate!"
“………………”Princess Jing.
She looked at the emperor in front of her in disbelief, and was so surprised that she almost dropped her eldest grandson.
After a brief hesitation, he quickly stood up.
"Let's go find Chen'er and the others!"
