Chapter 329

"Where is the core? Let me see it."

A large bag of cores was presented to him soon. Jiang Cheng picked out the best-looking one and put it away. He asked someone to take the rest and try to sow them. He didn't expect that the seeds would bear fruit, but it would be a surprise if they could grow seedlings.

He read the letters sent back by Jiang Wu and Jiang Zhao over and over again. He sighed that this was the country he governed, and he felt a sense of accomplishment and joy in his heart. After asking someone to take it down and keep it well, he continued to deal with the memorials. Even if he saw some troubles, he was in a good mood today.

Jiang Zhao and Jiang Wu continued to play, and never forgot to send letters back to the emperor.

Jiang Zhao's letter: Father, we are now in Pingling County. The mountains and rivers are as beautiful as a painting, and there are many small animals. I will not paint the mountains and rivers. My third sister is obviously much better at it. She can paint it. I have drawn some cute little animals. Remember to show them to mother and sisters. Maybe mother will change the little animals in your purse. It is boring to always embroider piglets, right?

Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing. He knew that there was a piglet in the purse a long time ago. Every time he thought about it, he felt strange and happy. He never intended to expose it, but sometimes he still thought it was interesting.

This kid pointed it out right away.

These cute little animals in the painting can indeed be shown to the imperial concubine. Maybe the pattern in the purse can be changed.

"Xingjia's paintings are getting better and better, and more and more detailed." Now he can see the country he governs without leaving Beijing. Now he is most looking forward to the letters they send back. Lao Wu's letter is very interesting and makes people happy. Xingjia's letter makes him feel excited and wants to govern the country better.

Jiang Zhao's letter: Panlinzhou has abundant fish and seafood, and the soup is very delicious. Father naturally can't eat fresh food, which is a bit regrettable. But now it's winter, and I've prepared some dry goods for you, maybe you can try them. There are detailed ways to eat each dry food. Don't let the cook play around, otherwise it won't taste good, you must follow the steps.

Jiang Cheng: "Copy the eating instructions here several times and save them, send a copy to the imperial kitchen, and let them handle the dry goods well, let me taste it first."

If it's okay, send some to each palace and his children to try.

If it doesn't taste good, forget it.

The emperor also wants to give face when rewarding people.

After giving these instructions, Jiang Cheng began to appreciate the landscape painting painted by Jiang Wu again and again.

Xingjia's trip was really worth it. If it weren't for this trip, how would he know that his daughter was excellent. Such a capable daughter really shouldn't live in a small princess mansion. If they are all interested in seeing more, he will allow it.

Jiang Zhao's letter: Mofengba, a not-so-big grassland, has fat cattle and sheep, strong horses, and delicious beef jerky. Beef jerky is easy to preserve. I have prepared a lot for you, father. There are all kinds of flavors, and some are made with my own recipes. Father, please try it. But it is a little hard after being dried. Be careful when eating it. It is best to have someone cut it into pieces before eating.

Jiang Cheng: "Quick, bring up the beef jerky, especially the one made with the recipe developed by Lao Wu himself. I want to see how delicious this kid makes it."

After a while, Jiang Cheng was content to eat small pieces of beef jerky and continued to appreciate Jiang Wu's paintings. This is the only grassland in Dazhao. Because the place is too far away and there is no important business to go there, he has not been there yet. Just from the landscape map, he can see the beauty of this place. The cattle, sheep and horses in the painting are lifelike, as if they are running in front of him.

It's great that his son sent him food and his daughter sent him landscape pictures.

The beef jerky is really good, especially the one made by the old fifth brother's recipe. It's good except that it's a little hard. This kid is generous and wrote down the recipe. He is a filial child. The amount of beef jerky sent back is large. He sent some to each palace and his children, and he could keep a lot for himself. This kid must have prepared it specially for everyone.

When the imperial concubine Xia Zhizhi received these, her face was full of smiles. Jiang Zhao's sisters were very happy when they received the things. Even if they were not sisters from the same mother, they were very close to him.

When the empresses of other palaces received them, they were more or less complicated, but this did not affect their eating beef jerky. It was really delicious.

When Jiang Zhao's brothers received them, their reactions were also different. From the beginning, they thought Jiang Zhao was trying to avoid something, but now they don't think about it at all. Their fifth brother and fifth brother really want to go out and play.

The letters from Jiang Zhao and Jiang Wu arrived again, and Jiang Cheng quickly opened them. He still read Jiang Wu's first, and after reading Jiang Wu's, he found that there was only a thin piece of paper underneath. He thought that Lan Cang was probably similar to some places in the past, with nothing good to eat or play. He sighed, Da Zhao Kingdom was not rich in resources everywhere, and some places were still very scarce.

He opened Jiang Zhao's letter: Lan Cang is rich in minerals, including a large amount of iron ore, as well as silver and gold mines. Local officials and bandits colluded to occupy minerals and did not report to the court. Among them, the mountain bandits have been completely eliminated, and all officials have been detained, waiting for the emperor's decision. I like to wander around and find some fun and delicious food, but I accidentally noticed these. Fortunately, Yan Jiuci was there to suppress the bandits. Father, don't forget to reward him.

Jiang Cheng frowned, his face full of anger. He had never known that Lancang had so many minerals. In his impression, Lancang had always been very poor and had few products, but he never expected it to be like this. The collusion between officials and bandits was probably more than just a collusion between officials and bandits. The minerals were concealed for so long, where did the ones that were mined before go?

In the Lancang government office, Yan Jiuci saw Jiang Zhao playing with birds there, and walked over silently: "Prince, can your majesty really find out that this matter is related to Prince Wen?"

When he came to Lancang, Yan Jiuci remembered the things about Prince Wen in his previous life. This matter would not be exposed for many years to come, and by then the minerals found here would have been mined almost, and your majesty would be furious. This time when he passed by here, Yan Jiuci naturally had to remind Jiang Zhao early.
