Chapter 226: The Key

Knowing the specific situation of this food, Xuanyuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, until he finally smiled happily.

The prefect of Qingzhou, Kong Fang, brought the potatoes he brought to the imperial dining room, and made a few things according to the method he said, such as steamed, boiled, or fried, stewed, no matter which one, each has its own merits, and the taste is extremely beautiful.

Xuanyuan Huan was extremely happy, he tasted it himself, and he was even more happy in his heart, and he was very happy, and as soon as he was happy, he promoted the prefect of Qingzhou, which made Kong Fang smile happily.

While feeling excited, Xuanyuan didn't forget to ask, "Aiqing, who found this food?" This planting method must have been researched by him, which is really worthy of praise! ”

The prefect of Qingzhou tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, calmed down and said: "Hui Majesty, you are right, this potato planting method was discovered by a peasant woman in Qingshan Town under the jurisdiction of the minister. She was the first to grow this grain and spread it out in Qingshan, where most farmers now grow potatoes and will soon be able to harvest them. ”

"Hahaha, not bad! This woman is meritorious! You go back and let her go to the various state capitals with the seeds to teach and plant this thing, so that the people in all parts of Dayu can plant it as much as possible and harvest it as soon as possible. ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. ”

Xuanyuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

The prefect of Qingzhou was embarrassed: "Back to Your Majesty, that woman is now pregnant with the Six Realms, and the only son in his husband's family, has gone to the battlefield again...... I'm afraid I won't be able to go there in person. ”

Saying this, Xuanyuan was silent, everyone was on this page, how could he continue to give orders? Doesn't this make the world say that he is faint?!

So he asked helplessly: "In this case, is there anyone else who will grow this thing?" Hurry up and learn, you can find more people to learn! ”

When the prefect of Qingzhou heard this, he hurriedly responded, "Yes." ”

After explaining a few words in detail to the relevant officials, they should fully cooperate with this matter, and then Xuanyuan Xuan announced his retirement from the dynasty, and returned to the imperial study with a rare relaxation.

When it was time for lunch, there were a few dishes made of potatoes on the table, and he was pleasantly surprised, the more delicious the better, and the more ways to make it, the better! It's just that I heard that this is the easiest method taught by the woman, and the rest is the unique secret of the family, after all, he is a chef, and he can't take away other people's jobs.

Unable to eat more variety, Xuanyuan felt a little regretful, and even began to consider whether to let her come to the imperial dining room to work...... There are no female cooks, but they are not impossible......

Solving the problem of food, Xuanyuan Wei breathed a big sigh of relief.

At that time, the grain should be able to last until the potatoes of this season are ripe, and then it will be able to supply the border soldiers, not to mention, and the people will be able to survive safely and not starve all over the wilderness.

Xia Mei quickly got the news from the county order, and said after a moment's silence: "In this case, Wen Xi, you can teach these people instead of the master!" ”

Wen Xi looked at her with some concern, and when she saw Yunni nodding soothingly, she replied, "Yes, Master." ”

"Liu Quan, you also follow, I don't worry about her little girl."

Liu Quan also nodded, and the two said a few words to Xia Mei, asking her to pay attention to her body, then turned around and left to pack her baggage, and left with the county order in the afternoon.

Those people from all states and counties are all in the Qingzhou prefect, oh, it's not the prefect now, and it has been promoted one level and become a Shaoqing. However, Kong Fang naturally knew that he had to do this matter himself, otherwise the black gauze hat he finally brought would fall again.

Therefore, he was very polite to this pair of young men and girls, and treated each other politely, and sent guards to escort them all the way, teaching those clever officials in charge of agricultural affairs.

Every state capital has officials in charge of agricultural affairs, but this matter is simply out of oil and water, and there are very few serious officials on weekdays, but now they are suddenly busy, and it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied.

What's more, she is still a little girl and a half-grown child, and she is even more ignored, and some people often find some trouble and deliberately provoke trouble.

Liu Quan was angry and wanted to find the prefect to complain, but was stopped by Wen Xi.

"Brother Liu Quan, don't go, it's useless to go."

"Why! This group of treacherous and cunning people, only Lord Shaoqing can cure them! Otherwise, how can they study well? How can you teach the rest of the people? ”

Wen Xi also had a sad look between his eyebrows, but he still smiled comfortingly at Liu Quan: "Brother Liu Quan, don't worry. It is said that villains are difficult, these people, Lord Shaoqing can only be cured for a while, and when Lord Shaoqing is gone, they will still return to their original state, and even worsen. ”

Liu Quan frowned when he heard this: "Then what should I do?" We can't stay here for too long, Mrs. Xia is afraid that it will be inconvenient at home, how can Sister Yunni come here alone? ”

Wen Xi pondered for a moment, motioned for Liu Quan to come over, and whispered to him for a while, and Liu Quan left happily.

It didn't take long for Lord Shaoqing to order that in five days there would be a competition against the peasant officials, and the winner would be rewarded. As soon as this order was given, those peasant officials finally had enthusiasm, and those who were disdainful and perfunctory in the past all came to revolve around Wen Xi, asking a few more words of flattery, and by the way, trying to find out some insider information.

Wen Xi chuckled silently.

The final result, of course, is the competition, the topic of the competition is the question and answer, is Wen Xi personally asked, about the potato planting method, problems, yield, etc., all about this aspect, if you study carefully, you will definitely be able to answer, those who do not study seriously, can only scratch their ears and cheeks, anxious.

But under the stimulation of the reward, these people's learning process has still improved a lot, and they have basically passed the test, so the final reward is only awarded to the fifty-year-old man who has been listening to Wenxi's explanations honestly on weekdays.

The reward was a set of exquisite farm tools, and the peasant officials were quite disappointed, and even a little gloating, but the old man accepted it with no different face.

Kong Fang nodded secretly, made a color with Wen Xi, and dissolved the competition. It was only then that the teaching was finally completed.

For example, the plug on the hoe is actually made of jade, and the nails on the rake are actually gold. These are small places, and if you don't pay attention to them, you won't notice them.

And those people lose interest, and they don't deliberately observe, and they can't wait to leave after studying, but they don't know what they have missed.

After completing the teaching of potato planting, the rest is the seed problem, this problem Xia Mei has already thought about, the reason why all the two hundred acres of land were taken back and all the potatoes were planted for this day.

Two hundred acres of potatoes is an extremely large amount, and according to the calculation of 50 catties of potatoes per household, it is completely enough for the current seed needs of Dayu. So Xia Mei took it all out and handed it over to Kong Fang to hand it over to the state.

Xuanyuan paid special attention to this matter, and when he heard such news, he appreciated Xia Mei's move even more, but he couldn't reward her with anything good at the moment, so it was better to keep some silver money to supply the front.

So Xuanyuan wrote down this contribution.

Time passed, and the ripening of potatoes perfectly resolved the crisis of food shortage in Dayu, and the soldiers at the border also ate dry food that they had never eaten, steamed potatoes!

Every time I bring a few of this thing on my body, I take it out and nibble on one when I'm hungry, it's much more delicious than a dry bun, but it's a little choking.

In any case, the appearance of potatoes greatly relieved the pressure of Dayu, so it had the strength to continue to compete with the Guizhou State, the potatoes could withstand hunger, although the soldiers did not eat meat, but they could eat two potatoes, and they were also extremely satisfied.

When they ate potatoes for the first time, Wu Song and the others were extremely surprised, and they had some doubts in their hearts. Wen Hao went to inquire a few words, only to know that it was Mrs. Xia who took the initiative to teach this thing, so that everyone could eat their stomachs, and couldn't help but be more moved and admired.

The commercial value of this thing Wen Hao is clear, those days in Yongcheng, how many copies of those snacks were sold, how much money was earned, he was very clear, and now Mrs. Xia has completely given up such a profiteering method, which is really admirable!

Wu Song was even more relieved in his heart, every time he ate potatoes, he could feel the strong care of his mother, and sometimes he missed it very much, so he simply went to the cooking camp to look at the pile of potatoes in a daze.

The problem of grain was solved, the strength of Dayu was improved, and the battle with the Guizhou State slowly improved, until later success.
