The Civil and Military Officials Who Had Never Seen the World
This person was none other than Shang Rong, the Father of Shang.
He was the one who brought all these things back in the first place; how much time has it been since then?
It has actually grown to such a massive scale.
His Human Emperor the Emperor truly possesses unbelievable methods.
The other court officials, naturally unaware of why His Human Emperor was so agitated, exchanged bewildered glances.
Although it looks quite beautiful, I really don't know what's so magical about it.
Wang Bi Gan, standing to the side, could no longer contain himself.
"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of these things? Could you please explain them to me?"
The others were naturally also filled with curiosity.
Did His Human Emperor the Emperor bring them here merely to see these wondrous plants?
Although these plants are lush and refreshing, there's really nothing strange about them.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly; people in this era are truly somewhat ignorant.
These things are all treasures, and it took countless years of development for them to be gradually discovered and then cultivated for consumption.
It's truly difficult to discover the wonderful uses of these crops in this day and age.
Thinking of this Ye Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"These things are the foundation of the future of the Yin Shang. With these things, it is enough to guarantee that the Huaxia nation will prosper for thousands of years."
Upon hearing these inspiring words, the civil and military officials exchanged bewildered glances.
Actually, His Majesty has been in a bad mood for a while now, and they can all tell that.
Ever since Su Hu of Jizhou rebelled and His Majesty massacred the city, His Majesty has been wearing a sour face all this time.
The entire court was naturally extremely repressed, and before His Majesty, everyone was extremely cautious, not daring to say a word.
Now that so much time has passed, we can finally see His Majesty's hearty smile again.
"These things are the treasures that the Father of Shang collected from all over the Primordial World, and they will become the food of our Yin Shang in the future."
Upon hearing His Majesty's words, the civil and military officials exchanged bewildered glances. They naturally knew that Shang Rong had brought back many strange and unusual items from beyond the borders.
His Majesty led them to see it at the time, but did not provide a detailed explanation.
Are these plants cultivated using those materials?
"Are these things edible? It seems like there's nothing edible about them?"
"I find this a bit strange too. Are these things really edible? Why have I never heard of them before?"
"-----"
For a time, all the civil and military officials were abuzz with discussion. Those who always prided themselves on their vast knowledge seemed to have become fools at this moment.
Come, come, follow me.
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over to the pile of crops in front of him.
"You all better watch out! Anyone who dares to step on even one of them, I'll hold them accountable!"
Upon hearing this, all the officials in the court immediately became cautious.
Those burly, muscular men, in particular, were extremely cautious.
The area at the very front consists of low-lying plants.
Although these plants are extremely short, they grow very vigorously, lush and green, and are particularly beautiful.
Seemingly noticing everyone's confusion, Ye Xuan burst into laughter.
He bent down, picked out a relatively large one, and pulled it up by the roots.
Ye Xuan held it in his hand and gently shook the soil attached to the roots.
After the soil was shaken off, a bunch of things about the size of a little finger were found attached to the rootstock.
These things, like bells, hung there in dozens, making a tinkling sound; they still looked quite cute.
Ye Xuan held the thing in his hand and said to the others:
"The edible part of this thing is what's attached to the roots and stems. It can be eaten raw or cooked, and you can even use it to extract oil. The oil extracted from this stuff makes for incredibly delicious stir-fries."
This thing is called a peanut.
As he spoke, he casually pinched open a small peanut, revealing two red kernels inside, each about the size of a fingernail.
These fruits are oval-shaped, pink and cute. Ye Xuan tasted them and immediately felt a sweet fragrance.
The rich aroma enveloped his taste buds, which truly delighted him.
He then passed the plant in his hand to the other civil and military officials.
The civil and military officials naturally followed suit, peeling off the outer skin to reveal the pink fruit inside.
They ate it with some skepticism, and then everyone gasped in surprise.
The incredibly delicious taste truly surprised them, as they had never tasted anything like it before.
This tasted truly astonishing to them.
Your Majesty is right, it really is quite delicious. If you eat a couple while drinking, it would be a particularly enjoyable experience.
At the same time, everyone turned to look at the Human Emperor. They could hardly believe how His Human Emperor had discovered these creatures.
If we're talking about extensive knowledge, the Human Emperor's knowledge, while not lacking, wasn't exactly abundant either.
After all, many of the people present were His Human Emperor's teachers.
None of the teachers knew these things, so where did the Human Emperor learn them from?
That's really unbelievable.
Ye Xuan chuckled and then took the lead, with the civil and military officials following cautiously behind him.
Below, there was another patch of low-lying vegetation, but the plants here appeared larger.
The leaves are about the size of a palm, and the roots and stems climb all over the ground, creating a crisscrossing pattern.
Ye Xuan picked a relatively large one, bent down and pulled it up again. This time, the situation was quite similar to the last time.
The roots of this plant also have many fruits, dripping and clinging to them, only this time the fruits are much larger.
The larger ones are about half the size of a head, while the smaller ones are about the size of a person's fist, and they are red in color.
Ye Xuan pointed at him, then turned to the civil and military officials and spoke.
"This is also a wonderful food called sweet potato. After washing it, you can boil it, steam it, or roast it; all are extremely delicious. If you're ever feeling particularly hungry, you can also wash it and eat it raw."
"With special methods, it can even be used to brew wine. The wine brewed from this stuff has a mellow and pure taste, and is extremely potent. Although it can't be called a Jade Nectar, it is definitely a rare treasure for ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials exchanged bewildered glances.
This plant, which climbs all over the ground, is indeed nothing special and is no different from some weeds, but its roots hide so many rhizomes.
This is truly a rare and precious treasure.
Ye Xuan walked forward once more, with the civil and military officials following closely behind, each one with their rear ends sticking out, carefully walking through the world.
In just a few moments, all the civil and military officials were covered in mud, but no one cared.
What they care about is what kind of treasure that patch of plants below is.
