Jia Jing entered the main hall and was about to say goodbye, when he saw the emperor hurriedly walking down, personally helped Jia Jing up, and said,

"After Jia Gong is a hero, there is no need to be polite, come, please take a seat!"

Jia Jing knew that the emperor's attention was definitely not for himself and his ancestors who had passed away for many years, this was the power of sweet potatoes, so he never dared to lose the number of courtesies, and insisted on performing the full courtesy, and sure enough, he saw that the emperor no longer stopped him.

When he sat down, the emperor looked at Jia Jingyi and Er, the four kings and eight princes wanted to come to be wanton and extravagant, and one could cause trouble more than the other, only this Jia family, oh no, this Ning Guofu is the most low-key, if it weren't for his two grandsons having some ability, he wouldn't have noticed that there was this Ning Guofu!

Jia Jing is a thin old man, with a white beard, mostly white sideburns, and wrinkles on his face.

Thinking of that artifact, the emperor didn't greet him anymore, and asked straight in,

"I don't know what that sweet potato you played Jia Gong is, is it really as high as you say?"

Jia Jing gestured to the eunuch behind him, handed over the burden he was holding in front of the palace gate, untied the burden, and saw a few potatoes of different sizes and stained with some mud handed them over, and said,

"Back to the emperor, this is this thing, this is not a local product of the Central Plains, some of the servants in the palace are engaged in maritime business, and some rare and exotic objects are honored, this sweet potato is among them, because its appearance is not good, and the fruit grows in the underground soil, so it is still on the Zhuangzi at home.

Later, it was discovered for the little girl, a total of six vines, the little girl took three back to the house to plant, planted for several months, there was less than one stone of production, and three of the long ones were left on the Zhuangzi, there was no care of the house, there was also the yield of half a stone, adding up to about one and a half stone.

The minister asked the householder at home, and knew that the yield was extraordinary, and the general intensive cultivation of wheat fields was only two stones per acre, so Weichen did not dare to be good at it, so he offered it!"

The emperor picked up a sweet potato and looked at it, and asked, "I don't know how to eat it, and what does it taste?"

"Usual roasting, simmering, in addition to boiling with water, you can also eat, the taste is sweet and soft, very delicious!"

Then Jia Jing said, "The minister ordered someone to replant, and after observing its habits, it was found that this sweet potato is especially cold and drought tolerant, and the soil requirements are not high, even if it is a low-class field, and even a sand field can be planted, but the yield is slightly lower." ”

"Good, good, good!" the emperor shouted three times, and raised his head and laughed.

The voice came out of the palace gate, and the guards guarding at the gate heard it, and said secretly, I don't know what the saint heard, and he was so happy that he had never been on the throne back then!

"Big companion, take this sweet potato and let it go to the imperial dining room, according to what Jia Gong said, make two dishes, I want to taste this god-given thing myself!"

"Yes!" Father-in-law An responded, and personally took the sweet potato to the imperial dining room.

The emperor was so emotional that he walked back and forth several times, and kept shouting praises like good and good.

It's no wonder he's so exaggerated, in this agriculture-oriented society, the people take food as the sky This is not in vain, in the famine year, as long as anyone can make the people have enough to eat, they are not afraid of rebellion, although the people are ignorant, but they will also choose with their feet!

Before ascending the throne, he may not have felt much, and even benefited from drought and hunger, which can be said to have indirectly promoted the abdication of the emperor.

But after ascending the throne, he can be said to have truly experienced the pain and suffering of having no food in his hands, and he can be regarded as truly understanding why his father would rather abdicate than accept this mess.

Why?

A drought is the death of tens of thousands of people, which is nothing, and each drought will also aggravate land annexation, especially strengthen the power of large landowners, nobles, and merchants.

The smaller the middle class with a permanent family, the less they can provide for the imperial court's taxes!

Every drought and turmoil is digging the foundation of the imperial court once!

With such a large yield of sweet potatoes, you are not afraid, even a small field, or even a barren field, can grow enough food for a family, so why risk cutting off your head to rebel?

Another thing is scarce, the yield of sweet potatoes is high, and the grain merchants do not dare to raise the price of grain at will, so that the homeless people who have no land can eat with odd jobs!

Therefore, this young emperor, who had suffered from drought at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, was so excited that he patted Jia Jing on the shoulder and said,

"Aiqing's sacrifice is very rewarding, and you just have to say what reward you want!"

Jia Jing hurriedly got up and excused himself,

"Your Majesty, this is not the credit of the ministers, it is all thanks to Your Majesty's kindness!"

"Why does Aiqing have to refuse, what do you need to come!" The emperor insisted on giving a reward, this sweet potato was not hidden from others, and if there is kindness, it will be rewarded!

"Weichen's children and grandchildren are full, not long ago, the second grandson relied on the grace of the saint, and the princess Her Royal Highness, there was nothing to ask for, but the grace of the saint, Weichen took the liberty. ”

"Say!"

Jia Jing bowed and said, "The minister is old and unbearable, and the children and grandchildren have all gained, but there is only one daughter in the boudoir, and it is this woman who discovered this sweet potato, and the minister took the liberty to ask the emperor to marry the little girl." ”

"Okay, I don't know what Gong Jia sees" The emperor suddenly paused, and his hot head with excitement seemed to be sprayed with cold water, and he calmed down instantly.

Fortunately, he never asked who he had a crush on, if he waited for him to say Da Xian Mountain, should he or shouldn't?

It turned out that Jia Jing was waiting for him here, the wealth of the heavens was only willing to change a son-in-law, and his decisiveness did not lose his ancestors, no wonder he was able to pull up the almost lonely Ning Guofu and cultivate two promising children and grandchildren.

However, it is a pity that what he values is also what he values, and Da Xianshan is destined to become his own lonely minister, and he is the future candidate for Zaifu that he values, so he cannot be involved with the forces of the DPRK and China.

Again, I just agreed to marry my cousin to Xianshan, and then I answered his words, where does my face exist?

can't let him choose, Dan Shan definitely can't, so you can only point it yourself, who to point to?

There are a lot of talents in the court, but most of them are from Qingliu families, and there are many marriages, and those who have marriage contracts are excluded, and there is nothing outstanding, and they are not compatible with an old brand like the Jia family.

But if it is a noble, the emperor secretly shook his head, and the nobles can choose even less.

Otherwise, go up by yourself and bring the Jia daughter into the palace?

Immediately thought of Jia Jieyu Niangniang in the palace, and shook her head again, this is not appropriate, if this Jia Jing's daughter enters the palace, the position cannot be worse than Jia Yuanchun, that is, above the concubine position, two high-ranking palace concubines of the same clan, will definitely disrupt the balance of power in the harem.

Just when the emperor was in a dilemma, a eunuch suddenly came to report.
