Because nearly a month has passed, the potato seedlings in the pot have withered, and the withered branches and leaves, the dry soil and the crude terracotta pot look even more ugly.

When it came to smashing the flower pots, Emperor Taizu did not do it himself. After all, his status is noble, even if the Du family is his confidant, he will definitely not use this method to plot against him, but Emperor Taizu is still very cautious.

When the chamberlain smashed the first flower pot with apprehension and even disgust, pushed away the dry soil, and pulled out thirteen potatoes of all sizes from the soil, the faces of everyone in the hall changed at the same time.

Emperor Taizu instantly understood what Du Yuzhang meant by 'high yield', but he was still skeptical about whether this thing called potatoes could really be eaten.

Still, with great interest, he ordered the chamberlain to continue to break the second pot.

This time, after removing the soil, fifteen potatoes of various sizes appeared inside. The larger one is larger than an adult's fist, and the smallest is only a little bigger than a thumb.

The remaining four pots were cracked open one after another, and the number of potatoes in them was also about fifteen, and the most was even as many as seventeen.

Emperor Taizu finally believed that this thing called potatoes was really very productive. Is this really something to eat, though?

Soon, he immediately made a decision, ordered someone to wash the potatoes, and sent some of them to the Tai Hospital for inspection, and some of them were sent to the imperial dining room to order the imperial kitchen to cook.

Du Yuzhang is very considerate and deliberately attaches several cooking methods to the fold. Of course, this method is all asked from the mouth of the merchant Gong.

The efficiency of the imperial dining room is very high, after two quarters of an hour. The potatoes that had been cooked in five ways were served. The remaining dish of roast beef with potatoes, because it takes time. I can't send it for the time being.

One of them is baked potatoes, which have a particularly fragrant taste. Although it doesn't use any condiments, it's extraordinarily tempting. The emperor was unmoved, but found five people to try the dishes. Of course, the main thing is to test the poison.

The judge of the Tai Hospital was already waiting in the hall, just waiting for the reaction of these people after eating the food, and then check their bodies.

The chef's skills are very good, and even if it is the first time they have touched the ingredients, they still follow the simple recipe to make the flavor that it should be. There were no adverse reactions after the five people ate, and the court judge personally examined their bodies. No symptoms of poisoning were found. The pulse is strong and strong, showing that their body is very good.

The sixth beef roasted potato, after taking it, was tried by the sixth person, and there were no symptoms of bad disease.

At this time, Emperor Taizu finally believed that potatoes could indeed be eaten. However, the court did not dare to take it lightly, whether it is really not poisonous depends on the situation.

Even so. Emperor Taizu's mood was still very good. Because of this good mood, he didn't even review the other folds, so he took a few potatoes to Fengyuan Palace, ready to show off to Queen Xin.

Fengyuan Palace. Empress Xin happily welcomed Emperor Taizu into the house. Emperor Taizu saw her beautiful Rong Xin, and the smile on his face was a little more. He couldn't wait to take Empress Xin's hand and said, "Ling'er, I got a good thing today!" ”

Empress Xin was very surprised. Emperor Taizu is rich all over the world, what good things have he not seen? She had rarely seen him so excited. She couldn't help but be curious. What kind of treasure can make Emperor Taizu so excited.

Emperor Taizu didn't sell Guanzi. He directly ordered the chamberlain to come in. Empress Xin looked at the chamberlain in surprise, only to see that he was holding a tray in his hand, and in the tray was a jade bowl with a lid on the bowl.

Empress Xin suddenly became more curious, and pulled Emperor Taizu and asked, "Brother Qi, what kind of good thing is it?" ”

Emperor Taizu smiled proudly, and said like a treasure: "You will know the Tao when you open it." ”

As he spoke, the chamberlain had already knelt in front of Empress Xin, bowed down and raised the tray in his hand high.

Empress Xin didn't refuse, and simply grabbed the lid on the jade bowl and picked it up, however, when she saw the contents of the jade bowl clearly, her face changed dramatically and she exclaimed: "It's actually a potato!" After speaking, he grabbed Emperor Taizu and asked, "Brother Qi, where did you get this thing?" ”

Not long after she came to this world, she once sent someone to look for potatoes with some hope, but she found nothing. Now more than ten years have passed, and she has already given up, but she didn't expect to see potatoes!

Are they really potatoes? Or is it something else that resembles a potato?

Queen Xin took the potatoes herself, and when she found that they were really potatoes, her eyes couldn't help but turn red and burst into tears.

Emperor Taizu wanted to surprise her, but he didn't expect that Empress Xin would actually know Tudou, seeing her crying, Emperor Taizu was even more anxious, hugged her worriedly and asked, "Ling'er, why are you crying?" Do you know this thing? But what's wrong with it? ”

Empress Xin quickly shook her head, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said excitedly to Emperor Taizu: "Brother Qi, this potato is a good thing, not only has a high yield, but also is drought tolerant, and it can be used as a vegetable and a grain to eat. Brother Qi, where did you find it? ”

Emperor Taizu looked at her suspiciously: "Ling'er, how do you know that this is a potato?" ”

Empress Xin sighed in her heart, but her face remained unchanged, and she only said: "I once saw it in an ancient book, and I specially sent someone to look for it at that time, but unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere." At the time, I thought it was an apocryphal invention in ancient books, or it had disappeared. Unexpectedly, I was found by you! ”

Emperor Taizu was not suspicious, and Empress Xin was well-read, which he had known a long time ago. So he didn't hide it from Queen Xin, and told her: "I didn't find this thing, it was presented by Du Yuzhang, saying that someone accidentally found it in the mountains and accidentally found it to be edible, so he tried to use it to cultivate, but he didn't expect it to be planted, and the yield was amazing." By the way, Du Yuzhang also sent something else, he did list some names, but I don't know him, why don't you see if you recognize it? ”

Emperor Taizu didn't believe Du Yuzhang, but he just felt that this new crop should be more cautious. Otherwise, if it is poisonous, will it not harm the people? So seeing that Empress Xin knew potatoes, he made this suggestion.

When Empress Xin heard this, her heart was immediately moved, and she suddenly remembered the strawberry jam that the national teacher brought back three years ago. She even remembers that the strawberry jam was brought back from a place called Qingshan County.

Because the Du family is the emperor's confidant. Empress Xin naturally cared a little more about the Du family. When Emperor Taizu talked about Du Yuzhang, she didn't remember who it was at first. But on second thought, she remembered. Du Yuzhang is the prefect of Qingzhou, and Qingshan County is a small county seat in Qingzhou!

Empress Xin was immediately moved, and even proposed to see it now.

Emperor Taizu was also very concerned about the things sent by Du Yuzhang, so he ordered someone to take Du Yuzhang's excerpts, plus some seeds.

There are many types of seeds, but Queen Xin doesn't know them. She looked at the excerpt directly, and when she saw the familiar names on the fold, Queen Xin was instantly excited.

She held her heart down. It feels as if a heart is about to jump out at any moment.

The names of those seeds were listed on the fold, many of which she was familiar with. She instantly remembered the 'Yipin Xian' that the national teacher had mentioned to her, and the delicate and delicious dishes in it.

Closing the fold, Empress Xin excitedly took Emperor Taizu's hand and said, "Brother Qi, these seeds are all good things, really good things!" ”

Emperor Taizu looked at her and his gaze changed slightly, but his voice was very calm: "Ling'er, do you know everything written on it?" ”

Empress Xin smiled and shook her head: "Naturally not. I only know a few of them, all of which I have seen in ancient books before. Du Qing is really capable, and he can find out these things, which is very admirable. ”

Emperor Taizu nodded. sighed: "Yes, if it is really as Du Qing said, then the people are really blessed." ”

Empress Xin immediately complimented: "Your Majesty is blessed with all the blessings." Blessed are the people. ”

Emperor Taizu squeezed her hand and teased, "You actually made fun of me." It's getting bolder. ”

Queen Xin nestled into his arms instead, and said proudly: "That's what you're used to!" ”

The two laughed for a while. Emperor Taizu left Fengyuan Palace. Thinking that there were still so many folds to be completed, he couldn't help but sigh tiredly. However, thinking of what Du Yuzhang offered, his mood improved again.

With Empress Xin's words, Emperor Taizu believed it even more, and after he went back, he first asked about the situation of the six people. The six people had a special imperial physician in charge of observing the situation, and every hour they would take the pulse and record it. Until Emperor Taizu asked, these six people had no symptoms of bad disease.

Emperor Taizu was even more relieved, and asked the imperial doctor in charge of checking the toxicity of potatoes in Tai Hospital, and after learning that it was non-toxic and edible, his mood instantly improved.

He immediately summoned a group of henchmen, explained the matter, and sent someone to be responsible for cultivating these seeds sent by Du Yuzhang.

After doing this, he remembered the Qingshan County Order Shangshi Gong specially mentioned on Du Yuzhang's excerpt. Then, he thought that Du Yuzhang would be transferred back to Beijing in a short time.

When the time comes, the prefect of Qingzhou will naturally have to change people.

He thought about it, and sent a message to the leader of the secret guard, ordering him to send someone to Qingzhou to investigate this matter thoroughly. For the Qingshan County Order, it is even more necessary to thoroughly investigate.

He is not a fool, Du Yuzhang will specifically mention Shang Shi Gong, Shang Shi Gong is definitely capable. What he wants to know now is, how capable is Shang Shigong? How much did Du Yuzhang hide the truth?

Emperor Taizu is very smart, and as a smart emperor, the more henchmen he has, the better, isn't it? He trusts the Du family, but it doesn't mean that he can only trust the Du family.

Sitting on the cold dragon chair, Emperor Taizu thought that it was time to change the water for these powerful forces in the capital.

At this time, the beautiful Rong Xin of Empress Xin suddenly appeared in his mind, but when he thought of the situation of the Xin family, a trace of struggle flashed on his handsome face.
