Xu Guangqi also had a sense of advertising, and said loudly to the civil and military officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go and take care of the small business guarded by Huang Han, the old man's closed disciple!"

Roasted sweet potatoes are only four pennies a catty, which is definitely cheap and good, and it must be one of the staple foods of the people in the future.

Potato chips are not too expensive for four cents and a tael, and it is not a luxury to give children snacks. ”

This is just a small matter of a few dozen dollars, and the civil officials and military generals all coaxed: "Lord Ministry, we must send our family members to support the party, these two things are very delicious, and it is very good to buy them for your wife and children to taste." ”

When the time of the early dynasty came, the civil officials and military generals sorted out the court clothes and entered the Jinluan Palace, and Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, went up to the court with a tray in both hands.

His high-pitched voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace: "Your Majesty, the old minister has this to participate. ”

When he came to Jinluan Palace, he just sat on the dragon chair and had something to do, or when he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Chongzhen thought that something was wrong again, and he sighed in his heart.

"Aiqing, please tell me if you have anything to do."

"The minister has devoted himself to the study of agriculture over the years, and it should be fruitful now, and today the minister has brought two new crops to process food for His Majesty to taste for himself."

That's a good thing! Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aiqing has worked hard for the country, what is it, I am very curious, I really want to taste it." ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly took the tray in Xu Guangqi's hand, he looked at it and found two roasted sweet potatoes and dozens of potato chips, so he took a piece of potato chips and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's not that Wang Chengen has to eat first, but he has to ensure that the emperor's food will not be poisoned.

Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen, who was munching on potato chips, and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

Wang Chengen said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, as Xu Ge Lao said, it tastes great. ”

Huang Han sold roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips in Jingshi, and such a big movement would definitely be reported to the Forbidden City by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, because after all, Huang Han brought nearly a thousand men and women at once.

Of course, the great eunuchs Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun were well aware of this matter, and Xu Guangqi's evaluation of the potato chips on the first day of sale was already known to be "delicious".

Chongzhen smiled, picked up two slices and tasted them, then nodded continuously, and finally commented: "It really tastes great!" ”

Xu Guangqi hit the railway while it was hot: "Please give your majesty words to make a name for potato chips." ”

Chongzhen readily agreed, and the royal pen wrote these five big characters. "It tastes great" has become the exclusive advertising slogan of Huang's potato chips from now on, and it is a unique "taste wonderful" that has been praised by the emperor Chrysostom and the imperial pen.

Xu Guangqi said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister successfully tried to grow sweet potatoes in the north a few years ago, but the old minister did not promote it legally, so no one cared about it.

Since Lao Chen went to Yongping to help the victims and met the Yongping garrison Huang Han, this phenomenon has changed greatly.

Today, more than 30,000 farmers have tried to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and Huang Shoubei underwrites their output.

Presumably, these first batch of farmers who planted potatoes and sweet potatoes will get more benefits this year than in previous years, and next year the number of farmers planting these two new crops will double, increasing the planting area, and the people of Yongping Mansion will really not have to go hungry anymore. ”

Chongzhen listened very carefully, it stands to reason that there should be applause here! It's a pity that the Ming people slap their hands from time to time, and the civil and military generals just sigh and sigh.

Xu Guangqi continued: "If I have a few more talents like Huang Han in Daming, I can promote the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the entire Daming, even if there are only one or two acres of land to plant, and the people of Daming will get rid of the predicament of hunger just around the corner." ”

The emperor spoke: "I am always worried about the hungry people who are waiting to be fed, and Aiqing has made great contributions to the community in researching and planting such high-yield crops, and I will reward them generously." ”

"Your Majesty, the old man has been satisfied with the temple, and today the old minister is not shying away from his relatives to complain about a young hero."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew what Xu Guangqi was going to say, and Emperor Chongzhen was happy to listen to the following, thinking of taking this opportunity to give Huang Han and his son an explanation.

Sun Chengzong felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that it was difficult to suppress that speculative person!

A group of Donglin party members knew that they were openly jumping out to obstruct the emperor at this time and were afraid that they would reap the consequences, so they decided to avoid the edge for the time being, pretending to be deaf and dumb one by one, and it was also considered to give face to Xu Guangqi, a former party member.

Seeing that no one interrupted, the emperor deliberately asked loudly: "Is Aiqing ready to seek justice for Huang Han?" ”

"Yes! Lao Chen has been in Yongping for disaster relief for three months, and he has heard how Huang Han behaves and does things, yes, he is indeed young and vigorous, and he is jealous and hateful, and it is inevitable that he will offend the court magnates.

However, his fist to repay the country is deeply touched, such a loyal minister and a good general will not be given a heavy responsibility to the court is simply a tyrannical thing. ”

Huang Han asked Jin Yiwei to deliberately spread remarks unfavorable to Guan Ningjun, and because this matter was related to Huang Han, who was selling roasted sweet potatoes and potato chips in Beijing, these remarks have been the mainstream topic of heated discussions in restaurants and tea shops in the past few days.

Fang Zhenghua took the initiative to ask to see Cao Huachun and talked about the disadvantages of the Liao people guarding the Liao land, of course, the emperor had learned of these remarks, he thought that there was a certain truth, and he was planning how to slowly figure it out.

Xu Guangqi is obviously preparing to ask for a reward for Huang Han, which is in line with the emperor's heart.

Chongzhen deliberately asked: "Why does Aiqing love Huang Shoubei so much, could it be that he is really extraordinary?" ”

"Huang Han does have a special point, the old minister will guide the farmers to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, but he simply has the ability to sell these two things so hot that they need to queue up.

From taking risks to encourage farmers to put down their ideological baggage to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, to digging out their minds and thinking about how to sell the harvest to thousands of households, every step is a plan and then a move. ”

The courtiers were suddenly not calm, they began to whisper, Xu Ge is afraid that he is exaggerating, right? If you want to sell yourself, you don't need to belittle yourself so much! But everyone also realized that Xu Guangqi valued Huang Han.

Seeing that the fire was coming, the emperor decided to push the boat down the river, and asked Zhou Yanru, the first auxiliary minister: "The rewards for the great victories of Yongping and Luanzhou have long been issued, why have the rewards of Huang Han and his son and the 'Red Flag Army' been delayed so far?" ”

How could Zhou Yanru not understand at this time that the call for Huang Han's reward prevailed, and he said with kindness: "The ministers and the ministers of the cabinet have already reached a consensus through joint discussions, and today is the right time to ask the Holy Son of Heaven to make a final decision. ”

Chongzhen said: "The cabinet already has a charter? Aiqing, please speak. ”

"Yongping garrison Huang Han Lian was promoted to the third level to give it to the third-grade Funing guerrilla general, in order to give him a piece of land for training, so he part-time was the commander of the third-grade Funing Guard. His father, Huang Yizhou, was promoted by one level because of his meritorious service, and the rest of the officials were promoted by one or two levels. ”

"That's good, I'm right. I don't know how many soldiers the Ministry of War approved for the Funing guerrilla battalion, and where did the military pay come from? ”
