Chapter 2478 Reward
As he spoke, he took out the corn and explained in detail the origin of the corn, the local method of growing corn, and the yield of corn. "
"Can you really produce 500 kilograms per mu?" Emperor Xuanming was originally satisfied with Chu Jin's cheerful personality, but there was no desire in his eyes.
When he mentioned the existence of corn, he was really happy.
"This is what the local foreigners said. The grassroots were afraid that they would deceive people, so they asked many foreigners to inquire. Because this is a very common thing in the local area, the possibility is extremely high."
"Not only that, but this corn is also drought-tolerant, and the yield can be achieved on moderately fertile land."
"This corn can be ground into flour like wheat, and it can also be directly used as a staple food. The practical method is similar to that of sweet potatoes. Corn that is ground into bran can also be fed to livestock and horses." Chu Jin was very enthusiastic and shared what he knew about corn. He told Emperor Xuanming everything.
Chu Heng knew at a glance that this kid had a problem with talkativeness. His desire to share came up, and he probably didn't even have a deep understanding that he was facing the emperor.
Waiting for Chu Jin to finish speaking, he ended with delicious corn pancakes, and even licked his lips.
Chu Heng stood up and tidied up his tail for him: "Your Majesty, Xiao Jin has a presumptuous temper and played wild outside. After returning home, I will teach him well, and please forgive him for his boldness and look directly at the holy face.
Chu Jin's lips trembled: "..."
Quickly and honestly knelt down, kowtowed to admit his mistake, but regretted it in his heart, after drifting on the sea for a long time, he was used to talking carelessly, who knew that once he returned to the capital, there were so many rules, he almost offended the emperor by accident , Little life is at stake.
Emperor Xuanming suddenly laughed heartily: "Chu Aiqing, boy of the Chu family, please, this kid has a cheerful personality, no wonder he was able to go to sea and retrieve high-yield corn seeds, Chu Aiqing is modest. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Jin stood up very obediently, but this time, he didn't brag about the Emperor as a friend any more. Don't interrupt anything irrelevant. When Emperor Xuanming asked him, he would make a long story short and summarize the core.
After a face-to-face meeting in the palace, Chu Jin almost collapsed.
Hearing that his father next to him said goodbye to Emperor Xuanming and was about to leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed up with the scene.
At this time, Emperor Xuanming suddenly said: "This time, the boy from the Chu family has made great contributions in opening overseas routes and offering high-yielding corn seeds. I will reward you a lot, so I will give you two hundred taels of silver and a pair of jade wishes... Because of the meritorious service in Sheji, Reward the title of son, confer the title of son Le, and don't kneel when you see an official."
After hearing this, Chu Jin was in a daze for a while. He almost thought it was his own auditory hallucination. After all, who would have thought that he suddenly got a title at such a young age? Although he was only the fourth-class viscount and had no real power, even if he was a viscount, he was still a title!
And his father doesn't even have a title!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Chu Jin reacted, and immediately knelt down to thank him.
Chu Heng saw that Emperor Xuanming had not confirmed the real yield of corn, so he rewarded Chu Jin directly. It can be seen that he deliberately wooed the Chu family.
And this method is indeed worthy of being an emperor.
Chu Heng will naturally express his attitude.
When Emperor Xuan Ming was in a good mood and let them leave, Chu Heng knew that Chu Jin had indeed picked up a big deal this time.
