It has been two months since the opening of the Academy of Sciences. Unknowingly, it is deep winter and not far from the end of the year.

The weather in Xishan became colder and colder, and the work of the coal mine began to get busy. Shen Wansan recruited more and more craftsmen.

The people and craftsmen of the whole west mountain are still busy and have not stopped because of the cold.

During this time, ye Jun focused on the greenhouse. The watermelon, tomato, cucumber and eggplant in the shed grew very fierce.

Watching them grow bigger and bigger, ye Jun's face was filled with ecstasy. It's not good to think that you can eat watermelon and fresh vegetables after winter.

I believe all the concubines like these vegetables very much.

As for the war ahead, good news came again and again. The crescent war ended a month ago.

The eastern barbarian army had no harvest and chose to withdraw to the eastern barbarian land. Fusang and Southern Wu were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Finally, they withdrew from the crescent state.

At present, the land of the new moon is all under the control of Xia Jun. in the military newspaper sent by Wang Pingxi, it is mentioned that Fusang retreats to the South China Sea and can't come back before the new year's festival.

It's not easy for ships to go up in the South China Sea.

On the other hand, under the attack of general Yuwen Chengdu and General Li cunxiao, the war in the north not only recovered the lost land, but also captured the border city of the North Qin Dynasty.

Now the northern Qin Dynasty chose a truce, and the northern army was stationed in the northern Tiancheng. They guarded the city and did not dare to cross the minefield.

Xia Jun's reputation spread all over the world again. In addition to Yue Fei and Lv Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Li cunxiao, Ma Chao, Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun are also famous all over the world.

It has become the most feared summer general in all countries.

...........

This day.

Ye Jun got up early and took Luo Shixin to the greenhouse. Because the watermelon is ripe today, he plans to pick three watermelons and send them to the Imperial Palace and the east palace.

Let Xia Huang, Empress Dowager and crown prince taste it. After all, it's the first time they eat watermelon in their life.

After a busy time, five big watermelons and two baskets of vegetables were sent out from the greenhouse.

Ye Jun and Luo Shixin are going to return to Xishan with two baskets of vegetables, but they find Zhuge Liang on Tianye.

Zhuge Liang hurried forward, came to Ye Jun, bowed and bowed, "Lord, Grandpa Gao is coming to the west mountain."

Ye Jun tightened the cloak Luo Shixin put on him, "Kong Ming, why did grandpa Gao come here?"

Zhuge Liang said, "Lord, the Southern Tang mission has entered Beijing. Your majesty asked the Lord to enter the palace."

Ye Jun nodded, "it should be a big event for the Southern Tang mission to enter Beijing at this time."

Just as he was about to send vegetables into the palace, he went to have a look. What was the purpose of the Southern Tang mission.

Back to the west mountain.

The chariot stopped and saw Gaode standing outside the courtyard waiting with four golden dragon guards.

Seeing ye Jun coming back, Gaode hurriedly welcomed him up, "Lord, how can you return to the ground in this cold day?"

Ye Jun said with a smile, "the melons and fruits are ripe. Of course, the king will go to the ground."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "father-in-law Gao, do you know why the Southern Tang Dynasty came to Beijing?"

Gao de said, "it seems that I came to ask for help. The old slave doesn't know what's going on."

"Help?" Ye Jun nodded and looked back at Luo Shixin. "Shi Xin, drive your chariot into the palace with the king."

Just about to get up and leave, he seemed to suddenly think of something, "Shixin, take down two watermelons from the chariot and leave them to the beloved concubines."

Ye Jun got up and walked towards the courtyard, facing Daji and Chen Nian, "two concubines, these two watermelons are for you. After cutting them with a knife, you can eat them."

At the thought that the two women had not eaten, he simply took the watermelon in Luo Shixin's hand and asked Daji to go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Then, divide three into five and cut the watermelon directly.

"Love imperial concubine, taste it!"

Ye Jun said softly, picked up two watermelons and handed them to Zhuge Liang and Gao De, "try them all."

Gao de was shocked and looked at the watermelon in Ye Jun's palm, "Lord, can you really eat it?"

Ye Jun said, "don't worry. The poison won't kill you. You know that the king is going to give it to his father. Today you have a blessing in mouth, otherwise you won't eat watermelon in your life."

Gao de took the watermelon in Ye Jun's hand, first took a bite, and then he began to bite wildly. He had no image at all.

Ye Jun looked at Gao de and hurriedly said, "Grandpa Gao, that skin can't be eaten!"

Gaode: "......"

Ye Jun said again, "Princess Ai, you take people to pick some watermelons in the shed and send them to the people and the Academy of Sciences. In addition, you leave a watermelon for fengxiao, Kong Ming and master Ou Yezi."

Daji owed his body, "the Lord is at ease to enter the palace, and my concubine will take people to the shed in the afternoon."

Ye Jun looked at Gao De, "Grandpa Gao, let's go."

Gaode looked at the watermelon on the wooden table and smiled awkwardly, "Lord, can the old slave eat another piece?"

Ye Jun said, "of course."

............

On the way back to Jinling.

Gao Dezong's horse on Ye Jun's side, "Lord, the watermelon is really delicious. It's the most delicious fruit that the old slave has eaten in his life."

Ye Jun said, "of course. In fact, there are other fruits in the king's greenhouse, but it will take several years to bear fruit. Those fruits are more delicious than watermelon."

Gaode looked envious, "the Lord is really a god man. He can plant melons and fruits in winter. It's beyond imagination."

"If it is said to the world, it is estimated that no one will believe it."

Ye Jun said with a smile, "don't worry, the king began to sell, and the people believed it."

Gao de said: "......"

After a pause, he said again, "if the Lord starts selling, he must inform the old slave."

Ye Jun said, "yes, I will inform you."

.........

After entering the palace.

Ye Jun and Luo Shixin, led by Gao De, came to the outside of the imperial study, and Gao de went into the hall to report.

The Xia emperor said, "let the king enter the hall quickly."

Ye Jun enters the imperial study and faces a warm current. Unexpectedly, Xia Huang began to use the stove so early.

Then he looked at both sides and found that there were four people sitting on their sides. Without guessing, they were envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The Xia emperor motioned Ye Jun to take his seat and said, "jun'er, the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty are coming to buy the war of Xia. At the same time, I hope Xia will send troops to help them attack Nanliang."

Smell the sound.

Ye Jun nodded. He knew the existence of the state of Nanliang. He was close to the Southern Tang Dynasty and had the same national strength as the Southern Tang Dynasty.

However, the Southern Tang Dynasty focused on the development of agriculture, while the southern Liang Dynasty was a military industry, but after all, the national strength was limited, and it had been unable to compete with the northern Qin, southern Chu, Western Wei, Dongman and Xia states.

You'll have nothing to bully Nan Tang.

Ye Jun looked at the Xia emperor and said, "father, the Southern Tang Dynasty is a friend of the Xia state. We should help."

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, "how many weapons and horses do you need?"

The envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty said, "the more, the better. Nanliang and Beiqin collude. Their weapons are extremely sharp and our armor can be easily penetrated. Therefore, this time we are ready to replace all the equipment of the three armed forces."

Ye Jun was slightly stunned, and his face showed difficulty. "This amount is a little big!"
