Chapter 427 Digging Sweet Potatoes
Chapter 427 Qin Huaidao rushed to the palace in the afternoon, and needed to inform His Majesty that the sweet potatoes would start digging tomorrow, and tomorrow, he still needed to make them to eat,
When he arrived at the Ganlu Palace, Wang En saw Qin Huaidao coming, and said to Qin Huaidao very happily: "Hu Guogong, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, knowing that the frost is blowing, you should come back." ”
"Well, thank you!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded at Wang En, and then went to the Manna Palace.
"Erchen has seen his father!" Qin Huaidao smiled and saluted.
"Well, Peping, come and sit down, I know that you are back, I guess you will also come over in the afternoon, and tomorrow I need to gather those ministers to your Qinzhuang!" Li Shimin saw Qin Huaidao come back, took off his reading glasses, and then stood up with a smile and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Well, father, the son came back this time for this matter, the sweet potatoes are going to be dug up, once the frost is blown, then those seedlings will all die!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile and said to Li Shimin.
"Well, I know!" Li Shimin nodded very happily, and then asked, "The pig iron went out quite smoothly?" ”
"Smooth, it was supposed to be a civil service, but Erchen saw that the people in Fengnian County were really poor, and thought, since our pig iron workshop will always be there, we will not recruit civil servants, but hire them to work.
5 yuan during the day, and 3 yuan at night, which costs 30 yuan a day, including food expenses! Qin Huaidao sat there, nodded, and introduced himself to Li Shimin.
"Well, how to use this, you have the final say, the people below, there are indeed many places that are very poor, and I know this." Li Shimin nodded with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, that's why the retainers are in charge."
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said indifferently.
"By the way, how many kilns are there at the same time this time?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Three kilns!" Qin Huaidao spoke.
"Okay, very good, pig iron is far from enough now, this time, Gao Ming is promoting your quyuan plow and harrow, and it also needs a lot of pig iron, so you need to get it here!" Li Shimin sat down, sat opposite Qin Huaidao, and spoke.
"In addition, Erchen also made his own decisions and made a steel kiln!" Qin Huaidao said again.
"Steel kiln?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao very incomprehensibly.
"It's not pig iron, it's steel, and you can directly make weapons, but you can do many things not only to make weapons, but also to build bridges, houses, and cities out of steel!" Qin Huaidao sat there and introduced himself to Li Shimin.
"Well, if you say it's okay, then it's definitely okay, let's get it, although I don't know what the difference is between steel and iron, but since you say it's useful, then it's okay!" Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and said to Qin Huaidao, for this part, he still believes in Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao said okay, that is, yes.
"Nacheng, then tomorrow my father will go to my Qinzhuang, and I will go there in advance to arrange some things." Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"Okay, tomorrow I will bring those ministers over and let them go to see it too, if the yield is really so high, then this year's drought will have a much smaller impact on next year, I don't believe it, there will be no rain or snow all winter!" Li Shimin nodded and said,
Qin Huaidao sat here for a while, then went back, and when he got home, Qin Huaidao went to the greenhouse, and those greens, leeks, garlic, and green onions sprouted, or they survived.
And the cucumbers are also alive, and some beans are also alive, Qin Huaidao went inside to see for a while, and instructed the people inside to work, and when it was cold, Qin Huaidao asked them to burn the stove inside.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Qin Huaidao arrived at Qinzhuang, and the people of Qinzhuang also got up, and they also followed Qin Huaidao's instructions, one by one, and went to the sweet potato field with tools.
"Hurry up and build the stove!" Qin Huaidao smiled and said to those family soldiers, and those family soldiers began to build the stove, which was simply set up.
"Master, this yield is not low, the small one has been opened and found that the bottom is densely packed with sweet potatoes!" The old man who was in charge here looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a smile.
"Well, Your Majesty and other ministers will come over later, and I will cook a lot, and everyone will eat together then!" Qin Huaidao said to the old man with a smile.
"Well, if you can really eat it, then you won't be afraid of it next year." The old man also nodded, this year they didn't plant a single wheat, there was no way to plant it, the ground was dry and cracked, and they were able to stretch one foot into it.
"Master, Your Majesty, they are here!" At this moment, a soldier rode over quickly, Qin Huaidao heard it, and also turned his head to look over, and found that His Majesty's convoy was coming in the distance, and Qin Huaidao walked to the side of the road to greet him.
After a while, Li Shimin came over, and at the same time, Qin Huaidao also found that those ministers basically came over, and they were still in Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
"Erchen has seen his father!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin, who had just gotten off the train.
"Well, excuse me!" Li Shimin tightened his clothes as he spoke, and now in the morning, it is still very cold, frosty, very cold.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei!" Qin Huaidao smiled and said to Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
"Pepin is exempt!" Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.
"Peping, I hope this sweet potato can really be useful, otherwise, my thousands of acres of land are estimated to be panicked next year!" Li Tai also looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.
"Well, don't worry, we'll find out later!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile and said.
"Pepin, take it!" At this time, Wei Chi Jingde actually threw Qin Huaidao an oiled paper bag, Qin Huaidao didn't know what it was, so he opened it and saw that it was a roast chicken.
"I've eaten it!" Qin Huaidao looked at Wei Chi Jingde with a smile and said.
"I know, try it, the old man just came here and brought you one!" Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile, Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile, pulled out the chicken leg and began to eat, and then took them to the side of heaven and earth.
"Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs are here, and officials from the Ministry of Industry are here!" When Li Shimin arrived at the field, he immediately shouted to a few young officials behind him, and those officials came over.
"Measure the land, measure a few more pieces, one acre of land each, and then count the household department to see how much can be dug up in one acre of land!" Li Shimin said to the officials.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" When several officials heard it, they immediately took the measuring tools and began to go down to the field, Qin Huaidao just stood there and watched,
And those pots were already boiling water, and Li Shimin stood next to the pot, a little warm. After a while, they measured it and came to report.
"Go to a few people, follow these adults, start digging, and besides, a few of you, dig here, finish digging, take it and wash it, and then bring it over!" Qin Huaidao commanded his own food yi and shouted, those are food yi will be busy immediately.
"My God, be careful, it's all down there, dig deeper, or it's a waste!" An old man went down with a hoe, dug up several of them, and said very distressedly.
Then those people dug carefully, and Qin Huaidao went over, picked up a few slender ones for people to wash, and after washing them, they began to peel the skin with a knife, and then ate it.
"Master, you can really eat it, you can eat it raw or cooked, can the master still lie to you?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile, chewing there, and at the same time took a few sweet potatoes and went under the fire and threw them in.
"What are you doing, sir?" A family soldier looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Roasted sweet potatoes, quite delicious!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile. And at this moment, all the ministers were watching from the other side of the measured land.
"Tut-tut, look at it, how much is the output, dense, it is estimated to be three or five thousand catties, and it is so big, I just don't know if I can eat it!" The eldest grandson Wuji stood there, looking at the back of those food eaters, all of which were sweet potatoes, densely piled up.
"Pepin has eaten it all! Still can't eat it? Wei Chi Jingde stood there, and said in shock,
Their words also attracted Li Shimin, who walked over and looked at the dug up ground full of sweet potatoes.
"Is it such a big production?" Li Shimin was also very shocked, and he didn't know how many there were.
"Your Majesty, you can't run away with three or five thousand catties!" Li Xiaogong stood there and said with great certainty.
"I just don't know if it's delicious or not, as long as it's not unpalatable and not poisonous, then there's no problem!" Li Jing touched his beard and said very excitedly,
With such a large output, what is the concept of thousands of catties per acre? Ordinary people can still starve to death, but they can't starve to death if they plant this.
On Qin Huaidao's side, those soldiers already liked sweet potatoes, and they all threw them into those pots, and in another place, there were soldiers cutting sweet potatoes, Qin Huaidao asked them to peel them, and then cut them, put in rice, and cook sweet potato porridge.
"Pepin, Pepin, come here!" Li Shimin stood there, very excited, beckoning to Qin Huaidao and saying,
When Qin Huaidao heard it, he ran over: "Father, what's wrong?" ”
"Really, huh? It's really edible! Li Shimin pointed to the sweet potatoes in the ground and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Father, didn't you eat it last time? Wait a minute, you can taste the boiled sweet potatoes, quite delicious! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Well, well, it's good to be able to eat, it's good to be able to eat, if you can eat, I'm Datang, there will never be hungry people, there will never be!" Li Shimin's excited hands trembled a little,
Including those ministers, looking at the sweet potatoes in the field, they were also a little excited, there will be no famine, what a big deal? These people, many of whom have survived famine, take the hunger and let them never forget.
"Peping, if you can really eat, all the people in the world will be grateful to you!" Li Jing also said excitedly at the moment.
