The war in Lingnan is still going on, but Gao Zixin in the palace suddenly ushered in surprises one after another.

Corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are ripe!

Because they all grow in greenhouses and are carefully cared for every day, they still grow vigorously and fruitfully despite the wrong season.

Because Zheng Yuan came from later generations and was a cook, he was most familiar with these. So since the corn cob on the corn stalk grows, Zheng Yuan has become a frequent visitor to the greenhouse, and he has to go there every day.

So when the corn was just ripe and tender, he immediately informed Gao Zixin in surprise.

Gao Zixin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked him: "How do you eat this corn?" Is it boiled directly? "He has seen the copy of the memory of the ripples, and through the memories of the ripples, he knows some ways to eat.

Zheng Yuan said directly: "Your Majesty, there are many ways to eat this kind of tender corn, whether it is boiled or roasted, or fried, stir-fried, it tastes very good." Why don't you go and make some for Your Majesty to taste? ”

Of course, Gao Zixin would not refuse this kind of mentions, he was curious about the taste of corn.

Zheng Yuan got his approval, and immediately went to the greenhouse to pick up a dozen plump corn cobs and picked them, and then went directly to the kitchen and made several dishes.

It's just that considering that the grilled food is not very convenient to eat, he deliberately didn't do it.

The corn was made quickly, and after only two quarters of an hour, the steaming corn was delivered to Gao Zixin.

Gao Zixin carefully pinched a little and put it into his mouth, but as soon as he bit it, he was fascinated by the tender and sweet taste of corn.

"Well, it tastes good!" Gao Zixin praised it, tried the others again, and found that they all tasted good, so he immediately ordered Zheng Yuan, "Zheng Yuan, you remember to teach the cooks in the imperial dining room, and make some more for the Queen Mother, so that she can taste it too." ”

He was stunned when he received the corn from the imperial dining room, and after asking carefully, he was even more surprised when he learned that it was the new food that Gao Zixin had recently tossed in the greenhouse, and the yield was still very amazing.

She and Taiping glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide their excitement in their hearts.

The biggest problem in Daliang today is that the grain output is too low, and people in many places can't eat enough at all, and even coarse grains can't eat, so they can only eat bran vegetables, which is really miserable.

If this kind of high-yield food can be promoted, not only can it save tens of millions of people, but Gao Zixin will also be able to sit back and be his emperor in the future, and he will no longer have to worry about someone rebelling.

No one would be foolish enough to overthrow a saint who loves the people.

Without the support of the people, those careerists will never succeed, and will only become rats crossing the street!

He couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he thought of the difficulties when Gao Zixin had just succeeded to the throne. She picked up a grain of corn and put it in her mouth, bit it gently, felt the sweet taste of the corn, and immediately liked it.

"Not bad, not bad! The emperor has a heart. He didn't care where this new food came from, and in her opinion, it was already very good for Gao Zixin to have such a mind.

"He's finally grown up."

It's just that when he said this, He couldn't help but sigh, obviously he was becoming more and more handy in handling political affairs, and he was even better at making money. But why is it that in the affairs of men and women, her son is dead and alive!

What's so good about a hard man? And you can't give birth!

As soon as he thought of Feng Xuan who was far away in Lingnan, He couldn't help but grit his teeth. knew that it would become like this, she shouldn't have let Feng Xuan stay by Gao Zixin's side in the first place.

That person's heart is too big, and he wants to monopolize her son!

It's not that He can't understand Feng Xuan's desire for exclusivity, after all, she herself can't wait to monopolize the peace. However, she understands and understands, but she can't accept that Gao Zixin has no children and grandchildren because of this.

That's her precious son who was born with great difficulty, he is still so young and so good, how can he cut off children and grandchildren for a man?

The more He thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became, but when she thought of the women who were sent away by Gao Zixin, she became discouraged.

What else could she do? People also sent it over, but Gao Zixin didn't like it, could she still drug Gao Zixin and force him to succeed?

No matter how much she wants to hold her grandson, she can't do this to her son.

As the corn matured, so did the potatoes and sweet potatoes. I don't know if it's because of the variety, or because I've spent time in that magical growing space, each potato and sweet potato plant has several pieces, and the size is very large.

As soon as the potatoes and sweet potatoes are ripe, it is time for Zheng Yuan, the cook, to play.

Potatoes are good whether they are braised or fried shredded potatoes or made into mashed potatoes, and the baked potatoes and baked sweet potatoes are particularly fragrant and have a particularly attractive taste.

Gao Zixin only tasted it once, and he liked the sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes, so he was happy, and simply gave each person a piece of roasted sweet potatoes in the early dynasty.

The time of the early dynasty was very early, so many courtiers almost didn't have time to eat breakfast, and could only barely eat a little to pad their stomachs, and hunger was inevitable.

In addition, the weather happened to be cold, and there were no thick cotton clothes, so many people had already frozen their hands red.

As soon as the steaming roasted sweet potatoes were delivered, these people began to sing about the empty city plan one after another as soon as they smelled the tantalizing aroma. When the roasted sweet potatoes arrived in their hands, their cold hands were immediately warm.

After the courtiers ate it and found that it was quite full, many people's eyes immediately lit up.

Qian Yong was the most polite, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, I don't know how the output of this thing is?" Can it be promoted among the people? ”

When the others heard this, they immediately quietly pricked up their ears and waited for Gao Zixin's answer.

Gao Zixin deliberately frowned: "This yield ...... It's hard to say, after all, this thing is very valuable, and I don't have much in my hands. Therefore, the specific yield will not be known until next year's sowing and harvest in Huangzhuang. ”

How valuable is it? Not much?

As soon as Qian Yong heard this, he pursed the corners of his lips, and glanced at Gao Zixin silently-Your Majesty, the minister has already asked Qian Bi, can you lie to the minister!

Gao Zixin pretended not to see anything, he coughed lightly, suggesting that everyone was talking about business.

However, Qian Yong didn't intend to let him go, Qian Yong asked again: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has recently harvested corn and potatoes, which taste very good, can you let the minister also feast on his mouth?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the other courtiers couldn't help but glance at Qian Yong, wondering why Qian Yong, who had always been old-fashioned, was so bold.

However, these people couldn't help but prick up their ears and waited for Gao Zixin's answer.

Gao Zixin is dissatisfied, and still wants to taste corn and potatoes? He doesn't have much in his hands! Don't you want to be so greedy?

Gao Zixin looked at Qian Yong with a particularly dissatisfied gaze - this old thing is like a shark that smells blood!

But being watched by so many pairs of eyes, if he refused, it would be too picky. So Gao Zixin simply said: "Qian Aiqing, your body is important, don't be greedy." ”

The translation is - you can't eat it if you give it to you, don't be too greedy.

It's a pity that Qian Yong made up his mind to try corn and potatoes this time, obviously not so easy to deal with: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, the minister's body has always been very healthy." "So, no matter how many ministers you have, you can eat it!

Gao Zixin lucked himself and simply had a piece of baked potatoes and boiled corn on the cob delivered.

He did it deliberately, after all, baked potatoes are just baked, and boiled corn on the cob is not very sightly.

Qian Yong is a civil servant, you have to pay attention to your image, right?

As a result, as soon as the baked potatoes and boiled corn cobs were brought up, the generals who had not yet eaten enough began to make a fuss. One or two were cheeky and begged Gao Zixin for food, one said, "Your Majesty, you can't favor one over the other", and the other said, "Your Majesty is still hungry", so angry that Gao Zixin couldn't wait to get them all out.

In the end, everyone had to be given the same one.

However, to Gao Zixin's surprise, Qian Yong actually gnawed on the corn cob directly in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He doesn't eat slowly, and even has a kind of boldness unique to a military general. After eating, he wiped his mouth directly and asked directly about the output of the three foods.

In the end, Qian Yong directly asked Gao Zixin for seeds!

As soon as he took the lead, the others immediately began to follow suit.

There's no way, Qian Yong's old fox image is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if he can open his face and not ask Gao Zi directly, it must be a good thing!

Gao Zixin was lucky, so he didn't let himself break out. He glared at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, his cold gaze swept over their faces one by one, and finally said: "This new food I am still ordering people to study it, and when the research is done, I will naturally give you seeds." Now the weather is freezing and it is not suitable for sowing, so it is useless to talk about it. ”

As soon as they heard that they would not be missing, the courtiers finally stopped.

However, they pursed their lips, reminiscing about the taste they had just had, and suddenly felt that such food tasted good.

Even these people don't find it difficult to swallow.

As soon as the early dynasty ended, Gao Zixin regretted it, and ran back to the dormitory directly in a huff, looked at the bud fiercely several times, and touched it lightly several times, and finally felt better.

"Hmph, those old foxes, one by one, want to take advantage of me all day long, they really want to be beautiful!"

The potatoes and sweet potato seeds in his hand are not very many, but sweet potatoes have the advantage that they can be propagated by cuttings, and the vines can not only be used to raise pigs, but also as vegetables.

Moreover, the sweet potato vine grows quite quickly, and it grows well within a few days after cutting it.

He didn't know about this at first, but Zheng Yuan reminded him.

Since Gao Zixin knew about this, he had more thoughts in his heart, but unfortunately the time was wrong, it was still a cold day, and it was almost the New Year, and everything could only be carried out in the coming year.

Gao Zixin couldn't help but sigh, time flies too slowly!
