Chapter 2676 fine breed

Is she that kind of person?

Man Bao said word by word: "We obviously had a good time talking!"

Just as they were talking, the emperor and the empress arrived, and everyone in the hall stood up, waiting for the empress to come out and say hello.

The emperor smiled and waved his hands: "All the ministers, let's be flat. On this festive season, I am having fun with all the ministers, and I am also having fun with all the people."

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is not held every year. It was the Queen Mother's filial piety before. The Emperor didn't even hold the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, so naturally he would not go to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Later, various things were busy, and after the filial piety period, the emperor rarely held palace banquets. This year, there are still various vassal states to send gifts, this time the palace banquet can be regarded as the biggest one.

The emperor smiled and asked everyone to get up and sit down. After issuing a festive blessing, he said, "Please come up with the envoys of the vassal states."

The envoys of the vassal states had been waiting in the side halls for a long time. Across the high walls, they vaguely heard the voice from the Wude Hall, but it was not true.

Many of the envoys who came here are not the first to come here, so they are familiar with the process. Knowing that the emperor has not come out yet, most of the voices they hear are the laughter of the ministers and officials who came in early.

When they heard the three long live voices over there, they knew that the palace banquet had officially started, and then got up to sort out their clothes and the gifts they brought.

Sure enough, in a short while, a servant came to invite them over, and the emperor wanted to summon them.

This time the emperor valued the envoys from Tubo the most.

In the past two years, the relationship between Dajin and Tubo has not been bad. There are no major conflicts, but small ones. That kind of petty fights can basically be regarded as conflicts between local people, and it is not worth discussing in the court.

After all, now the king of Tubo is still the emperor's cheap son-in-law.

The princess who was married to Tubo was a little girl selected by the emperor from the royal family, and was sent after the princess was sealed. They had the status of father-in-law and son-in-law.

The emperor hopes that the relationship between the two countries can continue to be so harmonious, especially now when he is going to use troops against Goguryeo.

As for other vassal states, the emperor just kept his attitude unchanged. If you are honest, I will be pleasant; if you are naughty, I can't help but raise the club in my hand.

Fortunately, apart from Goguryeo and Silla and Baekje, which were unable to come due to various reasons, the other vassal states are still honest.

The emperor skipped Goguryeo at the palace banquet and rewarded all the vassal states, especially Tubo. The emperor deliberately mentioned his cheap daughter and asked the Tubo king to treat his princess well, and rewarded a lot of silk satin and porcelain.

The Tibetan messenger immediately said: "The princess hopes to get some good seeds from the gods, and plant them near the palace, so that you may be able to eat the food of your hometown."

The princess brought a lot of good seeds when they got married, but this is a good thing. If you can let Tubo have more of the Central Plains, the Tubo's belonging and affection for the Central Plains will only be deeper in the future, so the emperor generously agreed.

Directly ask Shaoqing from Sinong Temple to prepare some good seeds for the Tibetan mission. Some grain seeds, wheat seeds, and bean seeds are all wrapped up for them to use as seeds. Enough is enough, mainly because there are more varieties.

When Man Bao heard that she wanted seeds, she immediately remembered the rice seeds she was still experimenting with. For several years, the dozen acres of experimental fields that eldest brother and Datou planted were always unstable. Even if there was a particularly bumper harvest, the seeds were left to After the second year, it was still messed up.

She has discussed with Dr. D more than once, and Dr. D believes that the environment of the two places is too different, and she still has too few primitive valley species.

She glanced at Bai Shan first, who happened to be looking at her, and obviously also thought of the experimental field in Pu Village, which was always in trouble.

Man Bao sat up straight and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the Tibetans are high and cold, and there are many varieties of good seeds that are different from ours. I wonder if the Tibetan messenger can give us some?"

When the Tibetan messenger heard this, he thought that the woman was unwilling to give it, and when he saw the official robe she was wearing, he was a little unhappy, "Tian Khan didn't say anything about it, who are you to actually separate the princess from Tian Khan's father. Female love?"

Man Bao knew that he had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly wanted to explain, Bai Shan stretched out his hand to hold her hand, raised his head and smiled at the Tibetan messenger: "The messenger has misunderstood, Master Zhou really thinks that the Tibetans are rich in resources and rare and good seeds are rare. Beautiful things, so I want to ask for one or two good seeds, and there is no other meaning."

The Tibetan messenger said angrily, "Then what kind of seeds do you think our Tibetans have?"

It is because they have few things that they seek good seeds. The king and the princess have both asked them before they come. Other rewards, such as gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain and other luxury items, can be omitted, but they must ask for more good seeds.

I heard that Dajin has obtained a wheat seed in recent years, and the yield per mu is good, much better than what the princess brought into Tibet before, so they wanted that thing.

Bai Shan said, "Grain seeds or wheat seeds are fine."

The Tubo envoy was even more unhappy when he heard what he said, and directly complained to the emperor: "Tian Khan, you see if your officials are deliberately embarrassing us, who doesn't know that our Tubo bitter cold is not good for growing crops, we have three acres of land. The millet that grows from the ground is not as much as your one mu of land, how can it be considered a good seed?"

He said: "It's because we don't have it, that's why I asked Tian Khan. If Tian Khan doesn't want to, then tell us directly, we don't want it."

The emperor frowned slightly. Although the words of Bai Shan and Zhou Man were somewhat inappropriate, they were his ministers in the end, and this Tubo envoy was so rude to him and Dajin that it was too much for him and Dajin.

Bai Shan said with a smile: "The envoy is too self-effacing. The yield per mu of good seeds in Tibet may not be as high as ours, but as long as it is a seed, it must have advantages, such as the high cold and drought in Tubo, then your seeds are more important than ours for cold resistance. , drought resistance, this is its advantage, as long as it has advantages, how can it not be a good seed?"

Man Bao nodded again and again, seeing that Bai Shan was no longer blocking her, and quietly gave her a wink, his fingers lightly tapped the back of her hand, she suddenly felt blessed, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the eldest brother of this minister. He and his eldest nephew have set aside more than ten acres of land as a test field in the official village of the minister, trying to plant rice seeds from all over the world, trying to find the best seed. If there are no better seeds, I thought, maybe there are too few kinds of seeds, maybe we can try the seeds on the plateau."

She glanced at the Tubo envoy and said with a smile, "It was only when the envoy asked for better seeds that the minister remembered that perhaps planting grain seeds on the plateau with seeds from other regions would have unexpected results."
