It was already very late when Yue Chengyu and Ye Han finished their conversation. Ye Han yawned and glanced at the time on his phone. "Your Highness, it's almost twelve o'clock. I can't stand it any longer. I'll buy the sweet potato and potato seedlings tomorrow. I'm going to bed first."
After Ye Han finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the bedroom, not caring whether Yue Chengyu responded or not. There was nothing he could do. He had been in ancient times for more than ten years, and his biological clock had long been established. He really couldn't bear it any longer at this point.
The next day, when Ye Han got up, there was no one around him.
At this time, Yue Chengyu was attending the morning court in the Golden Palace. Today, the ministers had a friendly consultation (fierce argument) as usual. Of course, nothing came to a conclusion today.
"Alright," a majestic voice came from the dragon throne, and the hall, which was as noisy as a vegetable market just now, became quiet in an instant.
"I understand that you all serve the country and its people, but the issue of taxation is a major issue concerning the nation. A low treasury is essential, but blindly increasing taxes to the point of depriving the people of their livelihoods is also unacceptable. Therefore, please return and think of a compromise. Tomorrow morning, I hope you can come up with a plan that satisfies me."
Seeing that the ministers below had been arguing for more than half an hour without coming up with a suitable plan, the emperor called a pause and began to discuss the next topic. As for the issue of the national treasury, the weather in Daiyue was good and the country was basically stable, so the issue of taxation was not that urgent. What was being discussed now was just that the Ministry of Revenue said that the surplus grain this year was not very sufficient, and if there was any major natural disaster, they were afraid that they would not have enough capacity to cope with it.
The morning court session lasted more than two hours before it ended. As soon as it was over, Yue Chengyu followed the emperor to the imperial study.
"Your son pays his respects to the emperor." Yue Chengyu bowed before entering the imperial study.
"No need to be polite. There's no one else in this study. Just be casual."
"Your Majesty, I have something to report. It's not convenient for others to hear this right now." Yue Chengyu said as he looked at the palace maids and eunuchs around him.
"What's the matter?" The emperor didn't take his eyes off the memorial in his hand. But he also ordered, "Eunuch De, take everyone down."
Yue Chengyu looked at everyone in the study who had left and then said, "It's about the princess..."
"Your princess? What's wrong?" The emperor interrupted Yue Chengyu and raised his head from the memorial, looking at Yue Chengyu standing below.
"The princess said she could buy grain seeds that yield over 1,000 kilograms per mu."
"What did you say?" The emperor almost couldn't control his voice and expression, his eyes full of shock. Finally, he asked uncertainly, "What did you just say?"
"Your son said that the princess can buy grain seeds that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu." Yue Chengyu repeated.
"Do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?" The emperor actually knew that his son was a steady person, but this was really unbelievable.
"I know."
"Tell me what's going on?"
"This is what happened..." Yue Chengyu recounted Ye Han's situation in detail.
The emperor was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and finally asked, "How do you prove that what your princess said is true?"
"Father, look at this." Yue Chengyu said as he took out the tablet from his pocket and placed it on the dragon table for the emperor.
The Emperor looked at the object in front of him that looked like a small box, picked it up and studied it for a while, then asked, "What is this?"
"Father, this is called a tablet computer. The princess brought it out yesterday. It also contains the information about the grains I just mentioned." Yue Chengyu said as he stepped forward to take the tablet from the emperor's hand and pressed the power button as he had learned yesterday. The emperor watched as Yue Chengyu pressed the side of the tablet, and it lit up. His interest was piqued. He asked, "What kind of brain is this? It lights up. What can it do?"
"Your Majesty, I only came across this last night. I know I can find some things here. The princess found the detailed information about the grain here, and there are others to explore." Yue Chengyu said, his hands busy. He swiped upwards, found the corresponding icon, clicked it, and found the downloaded video. "Your Majesty, these are the two," he said, clicking on the top video.
The emperor watched Yue Chengyu tap on it a few times with his fingers, and the appearance of the screen changed accordingly. Finally, someone came out and there was a sound. The emperor could no longer maintain his calmness on the surface. Of course, no matter how many questions he had, he did not ask them now, because the emperor's attention was attracted by the content being played.
When he heard that the sweet potato yield per mu was about 5,000 kilograms and could even increase, his breathing became rapid. When he heard that it was easy to survive, he was even more surprised. After the video played, the emperor asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true? Can your princess really buy it?"
"Yes."
The emperor quickly calmed down and asked, "What are her conditions?"
"The princess said she just hopes she won't be caught as a monster." Yue Chengyu almost couldn't help laughing when he said this.
[Hahahaha, if your princess can really get this sweet potato, no matter what it is, I will offer it to her.] The emperor was in a good mood. After all, if such a high-yield grain could solve a major problem weighing on his mind. Although the Dai Viet Dynasty had not suffered any sudden incidents, its grain production was indeed not very abundant. The level of productivity was there. Currently, it was okay if the weather was good, but if a disaster happened, the Dai Viet Dynasty's ability to withstand the risk was still too weak.
As he spoke, he clicked on the video of potatoes again. Hearing that the yield per mu was over 1,000 kilograms, he was so happy that he forgot to maintain his imperial dignity. "Good, good, that's great. When can we get these grain seeds?"
"I'll have to ask the princess about this."
"Okay, now tell me about the future world that the princess mentioned."
"I don't know too much, but from what the princess said, it should be much more convenient than the current life..." Yue Chengyu repeated Ye Han's description word for word to the emperor.
"What a magical world! Bring your princess here tomorrow at noon."
"yes!"
"Well, you come and teach me how to operate this." The emperor fiddled with the tablet in his hand with great interest. He was very interested in this little thing that could play pictures.
So, in the Imperial Study, one taught and the other learned. Both were highly intelligent people. As they taught, learned, and explored, they tried every available software. Of course, they didn't find much information. After all, there was no internet connection or signal. Moreover, apart from the video software Ye Han had downloaded, everything else was basically at factory settings. There was basically nothing.
