To be honest, if Zhu Cilang was willing to be a benevolent king in the prosperous era, he might not even be able to beat these eunuchs, and at most he scolded them.

When a woman is born in a chaotic world, her life is like a mustard of grass. When an extraordinary time, she should do extraordinary things. A woman’s kindness will only harm others and oneself. At this time, kindness cannot save the Ming Dynasty.

Empress Yi'an saw this. She hoped that Zhu Cixuan would be a kind child, but she did not want him to be a kind prince. This often made Zhang Yan feel very conflicted. From the perspective of family affection, Zhu Cixuan was just a child, and he should have the innocence of children and the kindness of children.

But from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cilang must be ruthless! He must be ruthless! Only when he is ruthless can he fight against this collapsed world.

But being too ruthless means being violent, and it is easy to become a tyrant. But as long as you maintain your original intention and give more "tyrants" like Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan herself hasn't been to this back garden for a long time. When she looked at the lush and beautiful crops, she was really surprised.

You know, Zhang Yan originally came from an ordinary family. She knew some of the sufferings of the people, but this was the first time she had seen such a high-yield grain crop.

"Ci-Yang, how did these things bear so many fruits? Do you think they can really eat them?"

The corn is about to enter its maturity stage. Zhu Cixuan looked at the corn that was trampled by Jinbao. He leaned over and picked up the corn: "Auntie, this is a good baby."

The corn wrapped in coat is slender and full. This is the first time Zhang Yan has seen this crop: "Well, it looks very good. Look, it has produced so many fruits. Ciying, how to eat this product?"

"It's not yet mature, so you can boil it or bake it and eat it directly. If it takes another seven or eight days, you can break it off, peel off the coat and dry it in the sun. Then, like wheat, grind the noodles to make steamed buns or make porridge."

Zhang Yan was shocked when she heard this. You should know that the yield of wheat is incomparable to this thing. If corn can have the same function as wheat, it can be made into steamed buns, steamed, and cooked, and porridge. Such a huge yield can really save the people and the fire.

This is far more than that. Zhu Cixuan pointed to another small piece of land planned: "Liu Ban, tell me about it."

Liu Laifu, who was revenge, was very happy. He respectfully bowed to Zhang Yan: "Empress Yi'an, this land is a place that I have to water less or not, according to the instructions of the prince. But you see, the yield of this land is still very high. This means that when encountering natural disasters, this crop can resist drought."

The corn seeds brought back by Zhu Cixuan are actually much colder and water-resistant than similar crops of this era. He asked Liu Laifu to conduct an experiment to water a test field based on the rainfall in Shandong last year. As a result, although the yield of this corn with less than a cent of the land was lower, there was no case of death from drought in the crops.

However, these strange crops were too magical, and Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan couldn't believe it for a moment. Zhu Cilang peeled off the corn, and the golden corn kernels inside really shocked everyone.

The little palace maids beside Queen Yi'an whispered, and someone whispered: "Wow, look good, look, it's like gold."

"I think it's a pearl, a yellow pearl. But, can this thing be eaten?"

"Parent Liu, please take it and ask Shangshenjian to cook it. It should be steamed for about a quarter of an hour." Zhu Cixuan handed the corn to Laifu, and he wanted Queen Yian to taste it.

Liu Laifu held the corn and flew away. To be honest, after so much busyness, Liu Laifu has been soaking in this field day and night. He is as dry as an African chicken. Laifu works day and night, watching these grain crops grow rapidly day and night. He also wants to know whether this thing can be eaten.

It was the first time that the people from Shangshenjian met. They took them to the kitchen and found the imperial chef to steam and cook them himself.

The imperial chefs all saw the wonders, and no one had seen what corn was. Several chefs gathered around and looked at it whispered.

Little did he know that there was always someone who knew the goods. A chef from the south, the imperial chef from Guangxi, could tell at a glance: "This, huh, isn't this corn? This thing is only available in the south, why did it appear in this palace? Heh, why, this corn is so big?"

Although corn was introduced to China by southwest and northwest land by land, it did not spread on a large scale to mainland China during the Ming Dynasty after it was introduced to western regions such as Yunnan and Gansu. The outbreak of corn in China first originated from the spread of southeastern sea routes such as Fujian.

And this Guangxi chef had seen corn. However, he never thought that this corn would grow so big.

Zhu Cilang brought a newly cultivated variety. In the Ming Dynasty, corn was actually less than half of that of modern corn. Therefore, the chef saw it and saw it fresh.

"Why, Xiao Fugui, have you seen this thing?" asked the Imperial Season Manager next to him.

It turned out that the imperial chef from Guangxi was named Xiao Fugui, and he nodded: "When I go back to the general manager, the villain has seen this thing in his hometown, but he has never seen such a big one."

The Imperial Manager nodded: "Okay, you'll make this dish. This is for the Cining Palace and must be prepared. Otherwise, if the emperor blames it, we can't afford it."

In fact, corn was introduced in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. This crop was promoted only by the folk. The court officials ignored this and it was difficult to promote it nationwide.

Moreover, the limitations of people's vision in that era made most people think that corn is only suitable for crops grown in the south. Even during the Jiajing period, corn tributed by Yunnan chieftains was long ago been sent to Beijing. However, corn at that time was always regarded as a rare tribute.

But Emperor Jiajing had never eaten corn. Why is this? It is blamed for the officials of Shangshenjian at that time. The emperor could not eat anything, especially those things that were difficult to obtain and were not seasonal. The imperial chef would not usually send them to the emperor's imperial meal.

The reason is that I am afraid that the emperor will become addicted to eating it, so I think it tastes good after eating it once. The rarity of many tributes is destined to be impossible to have them all year round.

At this time, usually no chef is willing to take the risk to deliver it to the emperor. Moreover, sometimes the dishes cooked by the imperial chef are actually not delicious. Fortunately, most of the emperors have never eaten outside dishes, and he thought that the food all over the world tasted like this.

Some of the officials who could not go back at noon at work in the palace even brought their own meals. The reason was that the food in the palace was really unpalatable.
