At this point, it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing; it might just be bringing Zhu Yunying some unpleasant news.
All we can do is wait patiently. Emperor Zhu Yunying is quite wise; he can listen to both good and bad news.
Song Zhong looked delighted and, upon seeing Zhu Yunying, began to report the good news: "Your Majesty, news has come from Southeast Asia that the natives have brought back the palm fruits. The origins of the palm fruits have also been clarified."
Zhu Yunying immediately stood up as well; this was truly wonderful news. "Really?"
Song Zhong hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive Your Majesty!"
That seems to be good news, and it's likely to be true.
Previously, all we had learned was about palm fruits and that the oil palm came from Africa. Now, we know that they've brought back some seeds and people who know how to care for palm trees.
Regardless of how they were brought back, the fact that the people and the seeds arrived in the Ming Dynasty is enough.
This is good news; it seems the Ming Dynasty will have more abundant resources in the future. We can consider planting palm trees in some areas, although it will take some time to reach a significant scale and benefit more people.
