Guo Zhiyuan was actually prepared for this, he asked Xu Guangqi to teach the people how to use sweet potatoes to make wine and dig cellars to store sweet potatoes, but he soon found that he still underestimated the resistance of people in this era to new things, the landlords and squires did not accept the people to use sweet potatoes to offset the rent, and the people themselves went to the county to set up stalls to sell sweet potatoes and no one bought them, sweet potatoes could not enter the field of commercial circulation, and the sweet potato harvest could not be transformed into actual benefits to benefit the people. Those landlords and squires whose interests were damaged by Guo Zhiyuan's revision of the fish scale book took the opportunity to spread unfavorable remarks against Guo Zhiyuan, saying that his introduction of sweet potatoes, a useless barbarian crop, affected the cultivation of traditional crops such as rice, and was an out-and-out disorder.

Guo Zhiyuan could not care about the unfavorable remarks spread by these landlords and squires, but he had to face up to the problem that sweet potatoes could not enter commercial circulation, and if this problem was not solved, his plan to promote sweet potato cultivation would be abandoned halfway, and the cultivation of corn and potatoes could not be promoted.

In order for sweet potatoes to enter commercial circulation, it is necessary for the wealthy class to accept sweet potatoes as a new crop, because ordinary people have limited purchasing power, and they will only use money to buy some necessities, and the rest are basically self-sufficient, and only the wealthy class will have spare money to buy them.

But how can you get the wealthy to accept sweet potatoes? Guo Zhiyuan analyzed the consumption habits of the wealthy class, these people are more face-loving, in their eyes sweet potatoes are something that only the inferior people eat, so they will naturally not buy them, only by completely changing their concept can they accept the new crop of sweet potatoes.

The wealthy class also has a characteristic, that is, they like to be vassally elegant, and sweet potatoes are easy to flatulence and pantothenic acid when they eat too much, which is regarded as a vulgar thing, which is also an important reason why they are reluctant to eat sweet potatoes, so Guo Zhiyuan decided to hold a sweet potato poetry meeting, poetry is a representative of elegance, and using poetry to praise sweet potatoes can make those wealthy classes who like vassal elegance accept sweet potatoes, no longer think that sweet potatoes are vulgar things, and completely change their concepts.

Guo Zhiyuan immediately thought of Leng Xianning, Leng Xianning will hold the Xichan Temple Poetry Meeting every year, which has a great influence in Shilin, Guo Zhiyuan invited Leng Xianning to put this year's poetry meeting in Gutian to hold, so that you can use the influence of Leng Xianning to gather a large number of Fujian celebrities and make the sweet potato famous.

Leng Xianning has not seen Guo Zhiyuan for a long time, and I miss it very much, but the girl is thin-faced, and it is not good to take the initiative to contact Guo Zhiyuan, and I was ecstatic to receive Guo Zhiyuan's invitation, and immediately sent an invitation post, inviting Fujian celebrities to Gutian to participate in the poetry meeting, and now Leng Xianning has become the boss of Miaoyifang, and in addition to the title of the first beautiful woman in Fuzhou, there is the title of the first female rich businessman, and the influence is better than before.

Huang Liu, a hardcore suitor of cold strings, is naturally indispensable in the middle, Huang Liu now naturally knows that he was used by Guo Zhiyuan, and during this time, Huang Ruhua cursed Guo Zhiyuan at home every day because Guo Zhiyuan was reprimanded by the imperial court, so Huang Liu was naturally full of hostility when he saw Guo Zhiyuan, and Guo Zhiyuan now no longer needs to ask Huang Sihua through Huang Liu, naturally there is no need to please Huang Liu, the straw bag boy, seeing that he is still holding the prefect's son in front of him, he is even more lazy to serve, and greeted him coldly, Just go and greet the others.

Yin Suiqi also came, as a person in the officialdom, he is naturally very sensitive to the changes in the political situation in Fujian, and he also knows that these changes are because of Guo Zhiyuan in front of him, and his friendship with Guo Zhiyuan is also more hot, Lao Yuan said haha: "Lord Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time, last time Fuzhou was goodbye for only half a year, Lord Guo will govern this Gutian County to be politically harmonious, and the wind and water are rising, Yin is really admired, this time I have to learn from Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo can not hide his secrets!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan had a good impression of Yin Suiqi, and hurriedly said humbly: "Brother Yin has won the award, Guo is a shallow learner, and this time he is holding a poetry meeting, and he is about to ask Brother Yin and all the virtuous people for advice......

Yin Sui Qi laughed and said: "Lord Guo is too humble, last time in the Xichan Temple Poetry Club, Lord Guo's high theory on vernacular poetry made me wait for refreshing, thought-provoking, Yin knew that Lord Guo is by no means a thing in the pool, he will definitely fly Huang Tengda one day, this Fujian plague, thanks to Lord Guo invented the mask, countless living people, can be called the Buddha of ten thousand families, even the governor Lord Xu is also very appreciative of Lord Guo, made a special trip to ask for merit for Lord Guo, I heard that the Holy Dragon Yan Dayue, the holy decree of rewarding Lord Guo is only afraid that it is already on the road, Maybe in the future, Yin will ask Mr. Guo to help him more! ……”

Most of the Fujian celebrities who came to participate in the poetry meeting this time came for the face of the cold strings, and they were not familiar with Guo Zhiyuan, most of the readers were arrogant, and they didn't pay much attention to Guo Zhiyuan, a small magistrate, at this time, when they heard Yin Suiqi say this, they were all impressed by Guo Zhiyuan, and some of them eagerly immediately realized that Guo Zhiyuan had such a political achievement, and they came over to get close to Guo Zhiyuan.

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was sought after by everyone, he became more and more happy for Guo Zhiyuan, and said that you haven't really seen his skills, do you know that the cheongsam and fairy brand cigarettes that are popular all over the country were invented by him? One day, the whole country will know his name, and he is destined to become a hero in the limelight!

In the past, when poetry meetings were held in Fuzhou, Huang Liu was always the object of everyone's pursuit, and everywhere he went, he followed a group of dogs who slipped and slapped horses, but now he has no home advantage, and Huang Bihua has recently been reprimanded by the imperial court, and there are signs of losing power, and there are many fewer people who follow him to slap horses.

The poetry meeting was held in the Gutian Ancient Temple in the Gutian Houshan Mountain, which was originally deserted, and later Guo Zhiyuan allocated funds to renovate, and there was a famous monk who presided over the Daguan master, which attracted a lot of donations and materials from believers, and the scale was expanded a lot more than the original, and there were already some big temples, but it was naturally not comparable with the historical Xichan Temple, and the scenery was much inferior, Huang Liu seized this point to find fault, and deliberately said loudly to Leng Xianning: "Why did Miss Leng choose this poetry meeting in such a remote and desolate place, Far worse than the West Zen Temple! ……”

Leng Xianning saw Huang Liu as disgusted as seeing a fly, and at this time, seeing that he was deliberately looking for fault, it was impossible to give him a good face, and said coldly: "Huang Gongzi, don't you know that the mountain is not high, and there is an immortal name." The water is not deep, there is a dragon. The host of this temple is a famous master of Daguan in the country, I think it is very appropriate to hold a poetry meeting here, and the annual poetry meeting is also ready to be held here, if Huang Gongzi feels that this place is remote and desolate, he can leave! ……”

Huang Liu was choked half to death by the cold strings, his face was red and white for a while, but he was reluctant to really leave, and stayed cheekily. Guo Zhiyuan's purpose in holding a poetry meeting is to promote sweet potatoes, naturally he doesn't want to let a rat feces like Huang Liu mix up this carefully prepared sweet potato poetry meeting, and hurriedly waved his hand to let people send a variety of sweet potato delicacies, including roasted sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, potato chips, etc., even the wine is sweet potato wine made from sweet potatoes, and then pointed to the various sweet potato delicacies in front of everyone and introduced: "The various delicacies in front of you are made of one thing, this thing is called sweet potato, which is a grain crop introduced from Barbarian Continent, and the yield per mu can reach dozens of stones. It is a crop that benefits the country and the people, its taste is sweet and glutinous, quite flavorful, you can taste it, we will take sweet potato as the theme of this poetry meeting, I hope to borrow the wonderful pen of your talents, so that sweet potatoes can benefit the country and the people of the crops and the poems of your talents together throughout the land of my country, then the country is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate! ……”

Everyone had never eaten sweet potatoes, and they were a little hesitant to look at the food in front of them, Huang Liu saw this and came out to stir up the situation again, picked up a steamed sweet potato in front of him and ate a bite and spit on the ground, sneering and saying: "Guo Zhiyuan, all the people who participated in the poetry meeting today are Fujian celebrities, but you entertain us with such vulgar things, and ask us to write poems to praise such vulgar things, it's really a joke!" ......" Everyone became more and more afraid to say this when Huang Liu said this, and those who flattered Huang Liu also echoed it, thinking that it was inappropriate for the poem to use sweet potatoes as the theme.

Guo Zhiyuan was also angry when he saw that Huang Liu deliberately stirred up the situation, but he knew that Huang Liu's purpose was to make this poetry meeting unbearable, and if he was angry, he would fall into Huang Liu's arms, so he suppressed his anger and sneered at Huang Liu: "Huang Gongzi, I want to ask Huang Gongzi below, what is vulgarity?" What is elegance? I have read Huang Gongzi's toad poems in the next place, I don't know if Huang Gongzi thinks that toads are vulgar or elegant? ……”

"You!" Huang Liu was so angry by Guo Zhiyuan that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but he didn't know how to refute it, most of the people present knew Huang Liu's toad poems, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw Huang Liu's deflated appearance, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they endured it very hard.

Guo Zhiyuan did not chase Huang Liu anymore, because his purpose was to promote sweet potatoes through this poetry meeting, if he quarreled with Huang Liu, the poetry meeting would not be able to continue, and straw bales like Huang Liu were not worthy of being their opponents at all, so he no longer paid attention to Huang Liu, turned his head and said aloud to everyone: "The last Xichan Temple Poetry Conference, I have proposed that the true meaning of poetry lies in the true feelings, as long as there is a true feeling, all things in heaven and earth can not be praised, on the contrary, the more simple and unpretentious things, the more they can be praised through the ages. Hoe He" poem, hoe He day in the afternoon, sweat drops of grass into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. This poem is written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen, although Li Shen is an official to the prime minister, but not known for poetry, most of his poems are lost, only this "hoe he" has been passed down through the ages, all because of this poem praises the hard work of ordinary people, simple and unpretentious, catchy, you think this poem is vulgar or elegant? ……”
