Summer palace.

In the imperial study.

The envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty looked at Ye Jun and said, "Lord, there are indeed a lot of soldiers and horses needed this time, but as long as the summer helps the Southern Tang Dynasty through the crisis, my emperor is willing to offer five million stone grains a year."

Xia Huang and ye Jun looked a little moved. Although the amount of five million stone grain is not much, they have it every year. It's good to think about it.

The Xia emperor said, "you can rest assured that although your country needs many weapons, if time is enough, it is not impossible to complete them."

Speaking of this, he looked at Ye Jun and continued, "jun'er, what good way do you have?"

Ye Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked unfathomable. The Southern Tang Dynasty was willing to donate five million stone grains a year, which is really important for the current Xia state.

However, when the development of Xishan was completed, Xishan new grain began to be popularized in Xia state, and only five million stone grain seemed a little insignificant.

Nevertheless, ye Jun still intends to help the Southern Tang Dynasty. The world pattern is very obvious. If Xia Qiang, all countries will unite.

Nanliang suddenly attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty. It seems to be a contradiction between the two countries, but in fact, the northern Qin Dynasty is behind it.

The reason is that there were grain exchanges between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Xia state.

If we abandon the Southern Tang Dynasty, we will first let the northern Qin plot succeed, and then the Xia Congress will lose an ally.

In the current situation of Xia state, one more ally will give you more strength. The most important thing is that ye Jun is still greedy for the food of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After all, it will take some time for the agriculture of Xia state to develop completely. The Southern Tang Dynasty has mature agriculture and grain accumulation for so many years.

In a short period of time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was the granary of the Xia state. It's a business that can earn without losing. It's foolish not to do it.

Ye Jun's eyes fell on the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty. "Our country has always attached importance to friendship. When friends come, there is wine, when jackals come, there are bows and crossbows. The Southern Tang Dynasty is a friend of the Xia country, so you can rest assured that Xia will meet your needs."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "now that the new year is approaching, Nanliang Xingbing invades your border, your father and emperor can order the northern Qin army to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to help your country calm the border chaos."

"After the Spring Festival, the mountains are closed by heavy snow, and Nanliang soldiers and horses will not make waves in a short time. In this way, we will have time to forge and raise weapons and equipment. I don't know what your envoy thinks."

The envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty hurriedly said, "Li Chun, on behalf of the Southern Tang Dynasty, thank the emperor Xia and the prince."

The Xia emperor looked at Ye Jun and nodded with satisfaction. "Just do as the emperor said. Wait until March and spring, there will be five months, and weapons and equipment will be sent to the land of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Gao De, I've ordered the Royal study to hold a banquet. I'm happy today. Please invite the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty to have dinner together."

Li Chun bowed and said respectfully, "thank Xia Huanglong for his kindness."

Just then, the Chamberlain came into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, your Highness the prince is coming."

Xia Huang nodded, "let the prince enter the hall."

Although the prince was allowed to enter the hall, Xia Huang's tone was full of displeasure. Since the prince and Li Youran established their relationship, he played the piano and recited poetry in the East Palace almost every day.

Prince Xia Changqing, who once dominated the battlefield and frightened the enemy, can't be found.

Now there is an elegant scholar who is full of book temperament and plays the piano and recites poetry all day.

Even when I went to the palace to greet emperor Xia, I came once a month at the beginning of the month. I came and left in a hurry, as if it were a routine.

Beauty is a curse.

Xia Huang never thought that a woman had changed the crown prince, which was disappointing to him.

Obviously, Xia Huang doesn't like the current crown prince.

After the prince entered the hall, his eyes crossed over the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty, bowed and worshipped: "my son, I'll see my father."

Xia Huang said, "how can the prince have time to come to the imperial study today."

The crown prince hurriedly said, "I heard that the Southern Tang mission came to Beijing. I came to the imperial study to see if I could share my worries for my father and Emperor."

Xia Huang said again, "you have a heart, but jun'er has helped me solve it. I'll give a banquet later and you'll stay with me."

The prince nodded, "my son understands."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "father, emperor, when my son and Minister entered the hall, I saw general Luo outside the hall, carrying a lot of strange things in his hand..."

Ye Junlian hurriedly said, "my father, my son's ministers came to the palace to send watermelon and vegetables to my father. I thought I almost forgot everything about the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Xia Huang's sword eyebrow picked and said suspiciously, "is the watermelon really mature?"

Ye Jun said, "of course, how dare my son ministers deceive my father."

Speaking of this, he turned and looked outside the hall, "Shixin, come in!"

Luo Shixin slipped two baskets and came in from outside the hall. He slowly put down the baskets and bowed. "Last general, see your majesty."

Xia Huang raised his hand and said, "general Luo will not be polite."

This moment.

In the hall, everyone's eyes fell on the basket, especially Li Chun. They were full of curiosity when they saw such a big fruit for the first time.

Xia Huang's eyes fell on Ye Jun, "jun'er, what are these? Please introduce them to me."

Ye Jun pointed to the basket and said slowly, "father, this is watermelon, tomato, cucumber, eggplant and pepper."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "father emperor, let's go to the warm Pavilion in the Qunying hall, and my son's ministers let my father emperor taste the taste of watermelon."

Xia Huang said, "let's go!"

As the voice fell, I heard the voice of the Chamberlain outside the hall, "Your Majesty drives the Qunying hall."

..........

On the hall of heroes.

Xia huangduan sat in the top position, the charcoal fire was burning, and the whole hall was warm. Ye Jun asked Gaode to take watermelon, tomato and cucumber to the imperial dining room and do it according to his instructions.

Less than a incense burning time, Gaode returned with the waiter, with watermelons and washed tomatoes and cucumbers on the wooden plate.

The color is bright and charming. It looks very coveted.

Gaode motioned to the waiter to put the fruit plate on the wooden table in front of the people. Ye Jun picked up a watermelon and looked at Xia Huang. "Father, the watermelon is ready to eat. The red pulp tastes sweet and delicious."

Xia Huang raised his hand slightly and sent the watermelon to his mouth. He was still confused, but when he saw Ye Jun sending the watermelon to the entrance, he slowly bit it.

The melon juice enters the mouth and is sweet and refreshing. Xia Huang goes straight to the top. He has never eaten such delicious fruit.

Prince and Li Chun also began to eat watermelon. From doubt to shock, and then to complete selflessness, they took the opportunity to be shocked by watermelon.

Delicious.

It's so delicious.

Li Chun looked at the Xia emperor. "Xia is a great country and outstanding people. It's appalling that such huge fruits can be bred in winter."

This moment.

Xia Huang was shocked and speechless. When he went to the west mountain, ye Jun took him to the greenhouse. He thought it was just Ye Jun talking.

But I didn't expect that after a few months, everything came true. It's amazing.
