Chapter 88 Touch

After the team passed through the city gate, the carriage that was pulling goods suddenly shook, and a wooden box fell off the carriage. Suddenly the box broke and many golden things rolled out from it, about the size of a child's fist. These things were big and small, looking strange.

"Hey, what is this?" The people around couldn't help but watch, and were amazed at the things that fell on the ground. The people in the capital believed that they were knowledgeable, but they had never seen such strange things before.

One person couldn't help picking up one from the ground, holding it in his hand and pinching it. It was soft, and juice flowed out from it. A faint fragrance came to his nose. The man held it in his hand and checked it over and over. Judging from the fragrance, the most likely thing was the fruit, but he had never seen such a fragrant and seductive fruit before. He was a little worried about biting it. While his hands rubbed, the skin of the thing on his hand had cracked, revealing the delicious flesh, and the fragrance became even stronger.

When the scent was smelling, the person next to him couldn't help but pick it up from the ground, staring at the person who picked up the fruit before, seeing if he bite or not?

"Let it go quickly, this is a tribute, don't move around." A man in his thirties and dark-faced driving man hurriedly stopped the carriage. When he saw the box breaking, he couldn't help but feel shocked and shouted.

"The tribute is real or fake?" The person who picked up the fruit looked at the things in his hand with doubts. However, when the owner came, most of them put down the things. At this time, the people in the capital were rich, and most of them disdained to take advantage of them. The emperor's things could not be taken care of casually. Only a few scammers heard the sound of the tribute and immediately hid the fruit in their hands.

Seeing that most of the people put down their things, the driver did not make any more requests. He called out several guards who rushed over, put the boxes back onto the carriage, and the convoy slowly walked slowly and disappeared on the street in a short while.

Seeing the carriage walking away, the few people who had just hidden the fruit carefully took out the fruit. One of them couldn't help but peel off the skin and bite it. As soon as the fruit meat was in his mouth, a scent that had never been before was so stimulating that he almost swallowed his tongue. He couldn't help but shout, "It tastes delicious." He finished eating the flesh in a few seconds. Unfortunately, the huge fruit had a hard core in the middle, and the flesh was only about one-third. The man licked the core and licked it, but he was reluctant to give up.

When they saw someone eating first, the other people with fruits in their hands couldn't help but peel the skin and bit it. They just bite it. They ate the flesh quickly like the man before, almost swallowing it whole. Finally, they had to lick their fingers a few times before they could stop. After eating, the people looked satisfied, as if they had eaten ginseng fruit and were as happy and full of regret. I believe they knew that it would be difficult for them to eat it again in the future.

Seeing the reaction of the person who had eaten the fruit, smelled the fragrance emitted from the air. The person who picked up the fruit in his hand and put it back was very regretful. One of them couldn't help but shout, "Who has fragrant fruit? I'll buy it for a high price." He directly named this fruit as fragrant fruit.

"I have it, what price?" A tall and thin young man raised a fruit proudly.

The person who spoke before was overjoyed and shouted: "One Hundred Months."

"No." The tall and thin young man refused neatly and mocked: "I just want to sell such fragrant fruits for 100 people, and it is a tribute, so don't even think about it."

"Two hundred, three hundred, four hundred..." The people around him also reacted and wanted to taste the taste of the fruit. They called the price one after another. No one responded until Yiguan called Yiguan. Yiguan money can live comfortably in the capital for five or six days. If it is a small place, living for more than a month, it seems that it is not worth buying a fruit alone.

But the tall and thin young man was unmoved and still refused to sell. He made up his mind that the fruit in his hand was unique at the moment. He saliva was pouring out when he smelled the fragrance. If he couldn't pay the price, he would rather eat it by himself.

"Is there anyone else who bid? Have you ever seen such a fragrant fruit? This is a tribute, maybe it is the fairy lucidum fruit. Eating it will increase your life by ten years." The tall and thin young man boasted randomly.

"Tianguan." Finally, someone shouted again, and the price was eye-catching. Everyone looked at the tall and thin young man and envied him. Tenguan money was a big fortune, saving a little enough for one person to spend a year, and several people who ate the fruit regretted it even more.

The tall and thin young man also stopped when he got better, and asked the fruit to give it to the person who was privy to a price of ten thousand. The news spread in the capital soon. Many people wanted to see what was rumored to be like the immortal zhiling fruit, and some even offered a reward of ten thousand yuan. Unfortunately, no one knew where the carriage came from and who the owner was. In the end, fragrant fruit became a legend in the capital. Many people believe that this carriage had a great origin. It was the immortal zhiling fruit found by the emperor overseas. Eating one can last ten years.

In recent years, there have always been some mysterious legends among the people about the emperor's keen on building warships and expanding overseas. Some people even linked the emperor's behavior with Qin Shihuang's sending warlocks to sea to seek immortal medicine, which caused such misunderstandings. Until many years later, when this fruit was transported to the capital for sale, many people still believed that the legendary fragrant fruit was far better than this fruit.

In the palace, there were more than ten fragrant fruits discussed by the people on Yang Yong's desk. Yang Yong naturally knew that this fruit was a mango. When he was eaten, the mango was extremely fragrant and attractive. Even later generations also existed as a high-profile fruit. Not to mention that at this time, this cart of fruit was transported from Luzon, and the man could spend ten cents of money to buy one to taste. He might not suffer any loss.

The person who transported this truck of fruit into the capital was Liu Yuanjin, the chief officer of Luzon. As early as two years ago, Luzon had been promoted to a county, and Liu Yuanjin naturally became a county magistrate, which was considered a prince. The population of Luzon has grown to more than 200,000, even compared with a county in the mainland, and the area is even larger. The resources are abundant there, and the ten-year duty-free period for the court has not yet arrived, so even lazy people don’t have to worry about not being able to fill their stomachs. Liu Yuanjin’s county magistrates were very enjoyable and his official position was far higher than many scholars who were hired together back then.

However, Luzon is overseas, with the strongest rural complex of Han people. Ordinary people will have to have a chance to return home once. Liu Yuanjin has never returned since he arrived in Luzon. He is not returning home without returning home in wealth, just like a night in a brocade dress. Liu Yuanjin took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's birthday to visit Beijing, and wanted to take a look at his hometown. It would be best that the emperor remembered his contributions and could transfer himself back from Luzon. Although Luzon is good, it is too far from the mainland. Liu Yuanjin has no ambition to be king and dominate, so of course he is unwilling to stay in Luzon forever.

Yang Yong hadn't tasted the mango for decades. At this time, he picked up one and tasted it again. He felt the fragrance was left on his teeth, and he shouted happily. He ate four of them in a row before stopping and shouted outside: "Come."

An eunuch hurriedly walked in: "What are the emperor's instructions?"

"Transfer my order to send ten kilograms of mangoes to the four palaces of concubines, reduce the nine concubines in half, and reduce the Jieyu Concubine in half, and each person has two talents, and ministers above the court will also give them... and give four each to try the Luzon products."

"Yes." The eunuch bowed and hurriedly went down. After a few points, there was probably not half of the cargo. Looking at the seven or eight mangoes left in front of him, Yang Yong couldn't help but sigh.

Yuan Qing'er had passed away in Daye for ten years. As the emperor, Yang Yong had many harems, and had always had special feelings for this Yuanmao. After Yuan Qing'er's death, Yang Yong did not make a queen no matter how many concubines blew the pillow wind.

He picked up a mango again, took off the skin, and took a bite of the delicious flesh. Yang Yong suddenly stopped, and remembered a person in his mind, and said self-deprecatingly: "Can I be really old?"

A fifty-year-old man is still considered to be strong in his later generations, but the ancients called him "knowing his destiny" and almost meant to know how long he would not live. Due to the medical conditions at this time, it would be too difficult for people over 50 to recover if they get sick. Yang Yong knew a little about the way to maintain health in later generations and was diligent in training. He also had a miracle doctor like Sun Simiao by his side, but he was still afraid that he would get sick.

"Come." Yang Yong shouted out the door again.

An eunuch came in with his hands hanging down.

"Go, select eight mangoes and send them to the King of Jin's mansion."

"King of Jin?" The eunuch was confused. The emperor had many descendants. Except for the three sons of Yang Yan, Yang Yu and Yang Ge, most of the other sons were not yet old, so naturally they were not kings. Among these three, there was no King of Jin.

Seeing the eunuch's blank eyes, Yang Yong's nerves suddenly touched. He calculated that it had been fourteen years since he ascended the throne, and many things could be changed in fourteen years. Yang Guang, who used to be energetic and suave, wanted to compete with him for the throne, even forgot the eunuch in the palace. In fact, it was no wonder that eunuch, who was only over twenty years old, and when the King of Jin was imprisoned, he was only six or seven years old, so naturally he had no memory.

"Set up, I'll go to the King of Jin's Mansion to take a look."
