A month later, Zhang Heng stood by the field in the suburbs, watching the farmers busy in the store, putting a piece of sweet potato vine in the soil.

Master Li followed aside, looked at the smile on his face, and said, "Official, these are the sweet potatoes that you attach great importance to, can you just stick these vines in the ground?" ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "That's it, after these sweet potatoes regenerate and sprout, continue to expand the planting scale, what happened to the wasteland?" ”

Master Li opened his mouth and said: "The progress over there is also very smooth, and tens of thousands of acres of land have been reclaimed. ”

"Yes, I'll have to bring some sweet potatoes into the palace to see Your Majesty later, and you can go about your business!"

Zhang Heng admonished, and then asked people to prepare some sweet potatoes.

After the inspection, he took the sweet potato to find Qingyu, and then prepared to attack.

In the imperial dining room of the palace, Qing Yu was walking in with Zhang Heng.

"Your Royal Highness, why are you here?"

When Cao Yang, the head of the imperial dining room, saw Qing Yu, he immediately greeted him.

"I'm going to make something for my father."

Qingyu walked straight in.

Cao Yang followed and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you have any orders, you don't have to do it yourself, Your Highness, be careful of hurting the phoenix." ”

But Qing Yu didn't care and said: "It's okay, you can do it differently than I did it myself, this is a heart." ”

Zhang Heng looked at Cao Yang and wanted to persuade him again, so he said, "Lord Cao, the princess has already made a decision, so don't persuade again." ”

"Lord Squire, you have to persuade you, in case the princess is injured, the minister can't afford it!"

Cao Yang also pleaded.

"She's a princess, how can I persuade her!"

Zhang Heng spread his hands, looking helpless.

At this time, Qingyu also picked up the sweet potato and washed it in the water, and then took out a knife to cut the sweet potato, but her movements were also a little stupid, as if it was very laborious to sharpen.

On the side, Cao Yang saw this scene, and felt that his heart was hanging in his throat, if she was injured a little, he, the head of the imperial dining room, would not be able to get rid of it.

After a while, Qingyu took a lot of effort to peel off the skin of the sweet potato, and then looked at Cao Yang and asked, "I want to make porridge for my father, what should I do?" ”

Cao Yang hurriedly said: "Just put the corn in the pot and put some water, princess, just let the ministers come." ”

"No, I'll just do it myself, I'm not a half-person."

Qingyu is also interested now, and she is seriously boiling porridge.

Zhang Heng looked at Cao next to him, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he leaned over and said, "Lord Cao, is the weather very hot?" Why is it so much sweat? ”

Cao Yang wiped his sweat and said, "Lord Zhang said that he laughed, the princess is a daughter, and she can't be damaged." ”

"Okay, you take a sweet potato and bake it, don't burn it."

Zhang Heng also took out a sweet potato and handed it to him, saving him from being restless here.

"I'll go right away"

Cao Yang also immediately took the sweet potato and roasted it.

It didn't take long for the smell of roasted sweet potatoes to come out, and at the same time, the porridge was boiled.

Immediately, Qingyu and Zhang Heng also took porridge and roasted sweet potatoes to see Zhao Gou.

In the palace, Zhao Gou was correcting the recital, and suddenly smelled a special fragrance, he couldn't help but raise his head, and watched Qingyu and Zhang Heng walk in, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Qing Yu walked up to Zhao Gou with the porridge and said, "Father, this is the porridge I boiled for you, you can taste it."

"It's really fragrant, what's in this porridge?"

Zhao Gou looked at the sweet potatoes in the bowl, and he was also very curious.

"Father, this is a sweet potato, you taste it."

Qingyu explained with a smile.

"So this is a sweet potato! I'll taste it. ”

Zhao Gou also scooped up a piece of sweet potato with a spoon and put it in his mouth, and then nodded incessantly.

Qing Yu hurriedly said, "Father, how is it?" ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "It's very good, fragrant and sweet, I like it very much." ”

Seeing that he liked this sweet potato, Qing Yu was also very happy, and hurriedly handed over the roasted sweet potato again, and said, "Father, try this roasted sweet potato." ”

"This sweet potato is more fragrant and tastes better, Zhang Aiqing, this sweet potato is really very delicious, if the yield is really high, then my people will not go hungry again."

When Zhao Gou was eating sweet potatoes, his face was also full of expressions of enjoyment.

"Father, this sweet potato can just stick the branches in the soil, and it will be easy to survive."

Qing Yu echoed.

Hearing this, Zhao Gou was also curious and said, "Really? And such a miracle. ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's true, so sweet potatoes are easy to survive." ”

Zhao Gou showed a satisfied smile and said, "Zhang Aiqin, once this matter is completed, you are another great achievement!" ”

"It is the honor and duty of the minister to share the worries of His Majesty."

Zhang Heng bowed, with a modest face.

"Zhang Aiqing, this time the three princes of Western Xia led a team to make a pilgrimage to see him, Western Xia has never taken the Great Song Dynasty in his eyes, and it is estimated that he is not kind to come this time, I need you to be prepared to deal with it."

Zhao Gou admonished.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will not dishonor the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhang Heng firmly assured that he also had some understanding of Western Xia before, among the many countries around the Song Dynasty, although the strength of Western Xia was not strong, but it was the most dishonest one, other countries, as long as the Great Song Dynasty gave the New Year's offering, they would not come to harass again, but Western Xia took the money and would intensify the harassment, and the result was that the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to attack in five ways and destroy the country.

Thinking of this, he also planned to prepare a good plan and let Xixia not jump too much.

"With you, I'm very relieved!"

Zhao Gou also laughed.

Immediately, Zhang Heng withdrew from the palace and prepared to leave the palace.

"Hold Me Still"

When Zhang Heng came to the gate of the palace, several soldiers stopped him.

Zhang Heng stopped, looked at a man in armor with an arrogant expression in the middle and said, "What? Is there something wrong with you? ”

Fang Gu glanced at him coldly and said, "You are Zhang Heng, right!" ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "I am, who are you?" ”

Fang Gu said with an arrogant face: "I am from the third grade to the German general Fang Gu." ”

Zhang Heng rubbed his chin and said, "So what? ”

"Recently, there have been frequent thefts in the palace, so His Majesty ordered us to strictly investigate the people who leave the palace, and you must accept our inspection."

Fang Gu opened his mouth and threw out the words.

"I'm going to check too?"

Zhang Heng saw the disdain on his face, there was no one in his eyes, and at first glance, he deliberately came to find fault.

"Of course, anyone who leaves the palace will be examined, who do you think you are?"

Fang Gu's face was firm, ready to humiliate him when the time came.
