MTL - I Built a Territory in Ancient Times-Chapter 120 Festival
to this point?
This made him envious. In this position, he would never be able to be as free and unscrupulous as him.
If you give up everything, can you follow your original heart and act freely like him? As soon as this thought appeared, Ming Ye immediately suppressed it. Such a dangerous thought must not exist.
How could he be so naive? In this place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, he can only move forward and never take a step back. Otherwise, what awaits him will be shattered and shattered. Think about how many pairs of eyes are staring at him behind him, and wait for him to make a mistake. At that time, there will be countless hands that will pull it down from it and fall into the bottomless abyss. .
Occasionally when he is very tired, he sometimes thinks, if he was not born in an emperor's family, but a commoner, would he be much simpler and happier? But his background is not something he can choose. Since he is the eldest son of the emperor, he should take up his due responsibilities. This is probably a portrayal of his life.
Ming Yu saw the prince first, and went up a few steps to salute, "Fourteen has seen His Royal Highness."
Ming Ye smiled and saluted the emperor before saying to Ming Yu, "I used to be called the prince, but this time I came back and even changed my name?"
"This..." Ming Yu scratched his head. It used to be in the past. Because of his young age, he could let the prince take care of him more. In the future, there will be many places where the prince can be used. There was another emperor watching from the side, so he pulled La Mingye's sleeve as before, and called out, "Brother Prince."
Ming Ye was satisfied, and rubbed Ming Yu's head, "I haven't seen you for so long, I'm thinner and taller."
Ming Yu pouted in dissatisfaction, he has worked hard to grow taller, but he is still being rubbed on the top of his head and treated as a child.
Seeing all his little movements, Ming Ye smiled even deeper, and said, "I think you should be here too. I heard that you are on the father's side. I wanted to see you earlier, so I came here." After finishing speaking, he said respectfully to the emperor: "Father, my son came over so hastily, you wouldn't blame him for disturbing him, would you?"
The emperor was very happy when he saw the appearance of these two brothers and sisters. Ming Yu had only been close to the prince, the elder brother, since he was a child, and Ming Ye was usually cautious, and only in Ming Yu could he show a trace of his true temperament. The emperor is also happy to see that the two have deep feelings for each other. Ming Yu's temperament offends people everywhere, and he can rest assured that the prince will take care of him in the future.
"But gossip is common, so why bother?" The emperor cleared his throat, "Sit down and talk."
"Yes!" Ming Ye responded, and was pulled by Ming Yu and sat down. He smiled and said, "I just heard the father and the fourteenth brother laughing at the chat. I don't know what they are talking about? Can you tell me? ?"
The emperor smiled, "Your fourteenth brother just said that he would cook by himself and try something new with his own hands. Old fourteenth, the prince is also very dedicated to your goods, but you can't leave the prince behind! "
Ming Yu blinked and smiled, "That must not be left behind, Erchen was already prepared."
Ming Ye was curious, "What's new? In this world, are there any new things that the father and emperor have never seen before?"
In fact, after thinking about it, Ming Ye knew that it must be something from the Western Regions brought by Ming Yu, but he figured it out but didn't show it, and deliberately pretended not to know. In one sentence, the emperor was held high, making the emperor feel comfortable.
The emperor laughed heartily, "The world is huge, and there are all kinds of surprises. There are many things I have never seen before. Look at the things from the Western Regions that the old fourteen brought back. Everything is rare and fresh."
Ming Ye patted his head and said suddenly: "That's true, only the fourteenth brother's wild ideas can create miracles. The fourteenth brother quickly tell Gu what he has brought this time to make the father so happy. "
Ming Yu also spoke again about the corn, although Ming Ye guessed a little, but he never thought that what Ming Yu was talking about was such an important food.
He has been under the influence of the emperor since childhood, and his vision is naturally not low, but he is young, although he always remembers that he is happy and deeds, but he is not as good as the emperor. After listening to Ming Yu's remarks, he almost jumped up, pulled Ming Yu and asked anxiously, "Is what you said true?"
Ming Yu nodded with a smile, "Naturally, we are already breeding. Although there are not many, we can still try a small number of crops. I believe that in a few years, the entire country of Dayan will be fully implemented. One more food, famine. Most of the suffering will be solved.”
Ming Ye had already thought about the successor that the emperor focused on cultivating. Although the emperor was still a little dissatisfied with his gentle temperament, no one was perfect, and human nature could not be changed by external forces.
The prince's nature is gentle and pure. Under the coercion of the powerful emperor, he has a cautious temperament. This is also the case. The prince hated war, and he valued the people's livelihood far more than conquering cities and lands.
Now Mingyu throws out this thing called corn, which is easy to survive and has a high yield, which can fill the stomach of the people. Why not make the prince ecstatic.
He pulled Ming Yu to ask questions, Ming Yu kept his mouth dry, and the emperor couldn't stand it any longer, "Okay, the promotion of new crops is not a one-shot thing, if this thing is really good Well, there is no need for the imperial court to do much, and the people themselves will promote it, but the most urgent task now is to breed in large quantities."
As soon as these words came out, Ming Ye stopped, but he still asked the emperor for a few seeds, saying that he wanted to see it all by himself. The emperor gave him a sideways glance, how could there be a prince of a country who ignores state affairs and instead spends his mind on such trivial matters.
Just about to scold a few words, Ming Yu had sharp eyes and grabbed the words ahead, "Brother Prince only needs to send two servants over, I will let them teach them how to plant, and they can leave such trivial matters to them."
Ming Ye immediately understood, and seeing the unpleasant expression on the emperor's face, he followed Ming Yu's words and said, "That's the reason, I'm just a little excited, so I think it's bad."
"It's a good thing that the prince's brother cares about the people's livelihood. The country is based on the people. The people of Dayan have their father and brother to work hard, which is a blessing for all the people."
These words entered the emperor's heart, and finally made the emperor a lot more comfortable.

Ming Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and chatted some more off topic. Seeing that the emperor was a little tired, he resigned with the prince.
Ming Yu has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and has not yet had time to leave the palace to build the mansion. Therefore, the emperor arranged for him to live in the prince's residence, which is the residence of the underage prince. Ming Yu was so foolish as a child that he was worried about living in the prince's house, so the emperor entrusted him to Concubine Hui's care and lived in the side hall of Concubine Hui's palace.
However, Concubine Hui was indifferent to Ming Yu on weekdays, and her servants naturally didn't care. Only then did Ming Yu fall into the water and the emperor was furious. That is, this fall into the water, let the real Ming Yu come here and start a new life.
After that, Ming Yu moved to the Prince's Office, and he was enthroned as a king as soon as he became an adult. Naturally, there is no need to build a mansion any more.
Other princes now have those who are willing to be enfeoffed, and this kind of prince is generally not valued and has no future. I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to be an idle prince. It's better to be comfortable outside in Beijing. Ming Yu is an example of this.
There are also powerful concubines who have the ability and ambition themselves, so sharing the worries of the emperor at the court is also a way out, so that the emperor and courtiers can see their abilities. If the ability is outstanding, the emperor may not be able to compete for a hundred years in the future. In any case, staying in Beijing can at least be the first to get the latest news, which is the first opportunity.
These people usually get permission to leave the palace and build a mansion when they reach adulthood.
Ming Yu did not have a palace in Beijing, so he could only settle in the prince's place.
The prince followed Ming Yu all the way to the prince's place. Anyway, the emperor set a family banquet at night, and he still had a lot of things to discuss with Ming Yu, so there was no need to leave the palace.
"Fourteenth brother, you brought a lot of things from the Western Regions back to Beijing this time, but do you still need to act like last time?" asked.
This is the main purpose of his coming to Ming Yu. The last time Ming Yu asked him to sell goods related to the Western Regions in partnership, he made a lot of money. Even if he split half of the profits to the emperor, it was still mouth-watering.
This time, Ming Yu brought a lot of goods into Beijing. As long as the planning is done well, the benefits will be even greater than the first time. The first time, no one understood the value of these things, and they made a lot of money by relying on the plan given by Ming Yu. Therefore, he came to specifically ask, this time to see how to act, so as to prepare early.
Ming Yu also sat down. He had already guessed the purpose of the prince coming to him, and he had already made plans.
"This matter does need to be carefully considered. I hope that this time it can create greater value." Ming Yu thought for a while and said.
"Greater value?" Ming Ye didn't understand what he meant. Which of these things from the Western Regions is not invaluable in the capital? Not to mention fur rugs, gems, peppers, and a glass mirror alone, it is hard to find gold. How does Ming Yu want to create greater value?
"Yes, not only the capital, but also affects farther places. There are many rich and tyrannical gentry in this area like Jiangnan, so long-term development can be considered." Ming Yu said, tapping his fingers on the table.
Ming Ye frowned, "But now in the capital, these goods are also for sale.
