I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

The land silk road came back three years later because of the war between Kang and Fuci, and all the ministers who returned after fulfilling the entrustment of the Holy Majesty received the rewards they deserved.

The leading three courtiers were rewarded according to their merits, and they were added to the ranks.Xue Yuan signed a letter to the Privy Council, led the military officials of the third rank and above, and was granted the title of second-class Bo Yuanhou.

Signing the letter to the Privy Council is the deputy of the deputy of the Privy Envoy, and is the candidate for the Privy Envoy in the future. He is in charge of important military affairs, and it happens to assist the Holy Majesty with full authority.

Xue Yuan has no experience of being transferred outside but was able to jump into the ranks of third-rank officials. Although it is due to the merits of the Silk Road, it is more due to his own strong ability and the expectation and value of the Holy Majesty.

The Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall are directly under the command of the Holy Majesty and are not under the control of any ministers.The power in their hands is completely controlled by Gu Yuanbai, and they can be taken back as soon as they can be put down. This was hard for Xue Yuan in the past, but now he is willing to do so.

Compared with the land Silk Road, the Maritime Silk Road traveled slowly for five years. After five years, Lin Zhicheng and his party returned with an overwhelming number of ships waving the Daheng flag.

They brought huge wealth. In addition to millions of taels of gold, silver and copper, there are also goods exchanged by various countries, but more important than wealth is the current situation of other overseas countries.

Lin Zhicheng presented a thick brochure, which detailed the knowledge and geographical location of each country.There are still some unoccupied islands. Lin Zhicheng said with a sense of urgency when facing the saint: "My lord, we can occupy these islands."

Gu Yuanbai also had a sense of urgency, he nodded affirmatively, "You are right."

He asked Lin Zhicheng a lot, and Lin Zhicheng answered them one by one, "Although some countries outside are very rich, their national conditions are very complicated. The food in some places is very different from ours, and they even drink blood. We followed the old route, Some countries that did not show their reputation in the Tang Dynasty now have extraordinary strength, but they are not as good as our Daheng Dynasty. This time, Daheng’s reputation has become famous both at home and abroad. Many small countries yearn for Daheng. After receiving the tribute, I also intend to establish a stable trading fleet with Daheng."

Lin Zhicheng’s return trip also brought back people from all over the world who have a strong curiosity about Daheng. They want to see this land in the far east, and want to experience this country that can produce tea, silk, and porcelain. How prosperous and civilized it is.

Gu Yuanbai said in his heart, in this era, there is no such thing as an overlord of the sea, and those countries in Europe are still in the chaotic medieval era, and no one realizes the importance of the sea. At this time, China is still the number one in the world, and Daheng has a matching force. Ability, with a ship that shocks the world.

Lin Zhicheng's trip to sea this time, just the wealth he brought would shock the entire Daheng Dynasty.

Perhaps one day in the not-too-distant future, the flags of Daheng are floating everywhere on the ocean.

Gu Yuanbai smiled, and asked about some seeds that he paid special attention to.The old routes did not reach the Americas and Europe, and the high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes should not be brought back.

But to his surprise, Lin Zhicheng really brought him a surprise!

Gu Yuanbai stood up from the dragon chair abruptly.

Lin Zhicheng was taken aback by him, "Your Majesty?"

Gu Yuanbai stared at the three small bags of seeds on the table, dazed and dizzy by the surprise, "Where did these crop seeds come from?"

"Among the countries I went to, there are people who claim to be from a country called Spain," Lin Zhicheng said. "This country seems to be very far away from us. According to this person, a battle to expel the invaders is currently taking place in their country And he drifted to a foreign country alone due to an accident during the battle. He exchanged these seeds with the minister and asked the minister to bring him to Daheng. When the minister saw it, he felt that the seeds in the yellow bag were the same as the Holy One. The 'corns' mentioned above are the same, they are all in the shape of rice grains with a golden luster as big as a tooth. But I can't recognize the other two kinds."

Gu Yuanbai's heart was already agitated at this moment. He looked through the corn kernels repeatedly, and then opened the other two cloth bags. The seeds, one yellow and one deep, looked dry from lack of water. They were clearly potatoes and sweet potatoes. seed.

These unattractive seeds are like priceless treasures in Gu Yuanbai's eyes. Gu Yuanbai began to dignify after being pleasantly surprised. These seeds look quite bad. Who knows if they can be planted alive?

Opportunities are in front of you, if you don't live, wouldn't you have to die?

Gu Yuanbai made a decisive decision: "Come here!"

Whether he can live or not, he has to try first. As long as there is a glimmer of hope of survival, Gu Yuanbai will try his best to make these crops grow on Daheng's land.

When His Majesty the Emperor planted the land like a treasure, the world was not as shaken as he expected because of Lin Zhicheng's trip to the sea.

More or less well-connected merchants and officials from the DPRK and China have more or less invested a sum of money for this voyage.After five years of waiting, the money has been multiplied several times. People who have been stunned by such a big profit have looked at the maritime trade with new eyes.

Afterwards, a letter was written to Gu Yuanbai's desk, and the snow-like papers were all asking when His Majesty the Emperor would go to sea for the next time.

Without a strong army and ships to protect them, their caravans would not dare to go too far on the ocean.

The folks started to set off a wave of going to sea one after another, and the travel notes about overseas seemed to bloom overnight, not only travel notes, but also more detailed biographies compiled by the people who went to sea.

The more of these things, the more people can know.When people from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment transported the gold, silver, copper and goods on the cabin to the treasury, many people realized the fact that overseas is a cornucopia.

They were ready to move, but Gu Yuanbai had no time to talk to them.

Now it is the farming season, he summoned hundreds of farmers who have the most experience in planting, and handed them three small bags of seeds less than a hundred .

Hundreds of farmers looked at each other and slowly opened their mouths.After they reacted, their eyes became warmer.

Farmers began to think about it enthusiastically. Gu Yuanbai paid great attention to this matter. He remembered that these three crops were all suitable for sowing in April. Among them, corn is a drought-resistant crop, and the possibility of successful planting should not be too low.

He also talked about this at night, "Sweet potatoes are also drought-resistant, but they are not as good as corn. Potatoes use a lot of water. Let me think about it again and see what else I can come up with..."

Xue Yuan couldn't resist getting up and scratching the soles of his feet, Gu Yuanbai trembled all over, and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing!"

Xue Yuan slowly climbed up from his calf, fascinatedly sniffed the smell of His Majesty just after taking a bath, and complained, "Your Majesty, you are full of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in your mouth and heart, just talk about it for a few days. What time is it? Can you still take a look at me?"

Gu Yuanbai stretched out his legs on his, "Give me a massage. Xue Jiuyao, how old are you, you've been living like a jealous husband."

Xue Yuan pinched his legs, his expression froze when he heard this, and he tried to smile a gentle smile that was not so jealous, "Your Majesty, how can I be a jealous husband?"

His tall figure hugged the comfortable Gu Yuanbai in his arms, and kissed his ears from time to time, "If I am jealous of my husband, wouldn't I be so jealous that you even talked to someone else today? "

Gu Yuanbai asked calmly: "How many times did I laugh with the editor of the Imperial Academy today?"

Xue Yuan's eyes sank, his finger bones creaked, "You laughed twice."

After speaking, his whole body froze.

Gu Yuanbai snorted in his heart, jealous of his husband.

Xue Yuan suddenly said: "I also saw it by accident, and my eyes couldn't help sticking to it as soon as the Holy Majesty smiled. Is it really twice?" He pretended to touch his chin, "Or three times?"

Gu Yuanbai cooperated with him, and suddenly realized: "I blamed Xue Qing wrongly. But the editor who came to the hall today looks very handsome, quite a bit of Jiuyao's demeanor when you were young."

Xue Yuan's smile stopped, and after a long time, he licked Gu Yuanbai's earballs, and said lingeringly: "My lord, I am here, it is enough for you to look at me, what else do you want to look at? Other portraits of me when I was young People? Am I not better than I used to be?"

He hugged Gu Yuanbai in his arms, took his hand and touched his neck, and walked down slowly, "When I was young, even ten of them couldn't beat me alone."

His chest is warm, his muscles are strong, his hands are full of elasticity, his shoulders are wide and his waist is narrow, and he has a solid masculine look.

Xue Yuan regards the physical strength and appearance of the body as very important, he has always been self-satisfied with being able to serve the emperor with color, even if he stands upright, he will not relax.He is sweating profusely during daily practice, and steaming sweat beads will gather together along his sharp chin. He likes to practice the push-ups taught by the Holy Master with his back on his back. He can do more than 300 ups and downs every day. Gu Yuanbai It was shaking on his back, the tip of his nose was covered with the smell of sweat from Xue Yuan's body, and the clothes under his buttocks were soaked in the sweat from Xue Yuan's back.

The first time Gu Yuanbai was pulled to sit on his back by him, he still hated it, but afterwards, without Xue Yuan telling him, he used it as a regular tool to aggravate his personality every day.

Because of Xue Yuan who was sweating heavily, Gu Yuanbai was so fascinated that occasionally he would become dizzy, his heart would be pounding, and he would also sweat.

Sometimes I wonder in my heart, what did this guy eat to grow up?How can it be so fierce.

The long-term training, rain or shine, has given him the strength contained in his tight and powerful arms and thighs, which can kill a person with a single punch. It is not difficult for him to shake heavy objects that are difficult for others, but ten can't beat him?Gu Yuanbai really didn't believe it, "Your abilities were already terrifying when you were young."

Seeing Gu Yuanbai's serious expression, Xue Yuan really felt a strong jealousy towards himself in the past. His dark expression was revealed before Gu Yuanbai touched him. Does the Holy One think he is too old?

But every time the Holy Majesty couldn't bear his physical strength, is this still called old age?

Xue Yuan pinned the source of the crime on today's editor of the Imperial Academy, sneered twice in his heart, then restrained his expression, held His Majesty's hand and said seriously: "My Majesty, you should continue talking about sweet potatoes and potatoes."

Stop saying things that make your jealous husband burn with jealousy.

Gu Yuanbai: "..."

Huh, man.
