"Okay, you can give this a try, but why not put a national bounty on this one?"

Jia Tanchun said.

Since Qin Zhen came to talk to Jia Tanchun about this matter, that is, he planned to do this matter by himself in the Zhenguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion.

Otherwise, what did Qin Zhen do with her about these things?

"Because it doesn't need to. As long as we find this thing, it will also be applied to the entire empire. The empire has nothing to lose from this. But what if you don't find it? Isn't this just a joke? ”

When Jia Tanchun heard it, he felt that it made sense.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes, even they think it's ridiculous and grotesque, Qin Zhen went to tell the emperor and asked the emperor to ask for a reward, if the labor division moved the crowd and didn't ask for anything in the end, what would others say about Qin Zhen?

Arbitrarily manipulating dictatorship, working the people and money, and engaging in nonsense, such infamy may come.

And an upstart like them with shallow roots can't withstand many such attacks. Qin Zhen and they do things, and they have to be careful in everything.

Don't look at them now, they seem to be very powerful, but who knows, is there anyone waiting for them to show their flaws?

Being in Vanity Fair, they can't afford to be careless.

In fact, before the opening of the new shipping route, sweet potatoes and potatoes could not have been introduced to China, and the Americas should still be isolated from the world at this time. It wasn't until more than 1,200 years later that the American continent was discovered.

And sweet potatoes and potatoes are both from the Americas, at this time, Qin Zhen went to offer a reward to solicit sweet potatoes and potatoes, is it possible to collect them?

This is the reason why Qin Zhen only asked Jia Tanchun to talk about this. When this happens, it's almost like a miracle.

But is it possible?

But Qin Zhen was able to cross over, is it a miracle in itself? Why can't he expect it all at once?

And Qin Zhen told Jia Tanchun about this, that is, he asked Jia Tanchun to be responsible for the operation of this matter. Jia Tanchun now has more manpower and resources that can be deployed than him.

He can deploy Jia Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun and them, but he may not be able to deploy Zhang Ji's people in the barracks. Those people have always been in charge of Shi Xiangyun.

And in this matter, he asked Jia Tanchun to do it, so he was naturally relieved. Jia Tanchun is a person who used to be a manager.

The Jia family is also managed by her in an orderly manner, which shows that Jia Tanchun's ability to do things is still good.

At least better than him.

Now that this thing is done, there is nothing else. Qin Zhen said: "I'll make some descriptions of sweet potatoes and potatoes, or even make a model, and let you follow the map!" Otherwise, I'm afraid that these things, in the mouths of outsiders, are not called so, and there is some estrangement for a while, which is also uncertain. ”

As he spoke, Qin Zhen described the shape of sweet potatoes to Jia Tanchun, although these are trivial matters and details, they must be explained clearly.

Otherwise, people at this time may not be able to know what this thing they want to spend money on and reward is.

The two of them are here, talking carefully, Qin Zhen really asked people to use wood to make several models of potatoes and sweet potatoes of the same proportion, with colors, and they were made vividly. Then tell Jia Tanchun and let her ask outsiders for this thing.

If anyone had seen something like this, they would have come and offered it to them.

Jia Tanchun heard Qin Zhen's description before, where did he know what sweet potatoes and potatoes were. Now that I saw the model made by Qin Zhen, this is what I really felt.

With a more intuitive feeling, Jia Tanchun certainly knows better what he should do. This makes a model, and it is indeed easier to explain a thing clearly.

"I really haven't seen this thing, I hope there can really be such a treasure!"

Jia Tanchun said.

Yes, there are absolutely, but I'm afraid that I may not be able to collect them! Qin Zhen thought to himself.

He had already seen these things in the later life, how could he not have them? It's just that at this time, no one has passed this thing on.

And if no one brings it, then they will naturally not be able to collect it.

But what Qin Zhen hopes now is that there were once merchants from the Western Regions who had been to the origin of sweet potatoes and potatoes and had seen these two things.

Even if these people didn't go in person, but they traveled from south to north, maybe some people have heard or seen it, and some people have seen this kind of thing before.

As long as there is a little bit of news, Qin Zhen believes that as long as he makes conditions, these businessmen will definitely be able to bring these things to the Central Plains from thousands of miles away.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and this certainly won't be that difficult.

The two were talking here, but Xue Baochai suddenly came, and when he saw the two, Xue Baochai said, "What are you two talking about?"

Jia Tanchun told her about it, Xue Baochai looked at the model made by Qin Zhen, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "I seem to have raised a pot of potatoes."

Qin Zhen was taken aback and said, "I've raised a pot, do you have this thing?"

Xue Baochai said: "I raised flowers and trees and put them in the corner, at that time I just thought it was novel, and it was brought by someone else from afar. ……”

These are not the point, the point is whether Xue Baochai brought this thing over. Therefore, Qin Zhen hurriedly asked, "Did Miss Bao bring your potted plant over?"

He interrupted Xue Baochai's narration.

Xue Baochai's time was already after the Age of Discovery, and it was not surprising that they had seen these strange things. In Jiafu, there is also a Western clock! It's also a very rare thing.

It would be nice to be able to bring the potato seedlings over, Qin Zhen was very anxious. I didn't expect Xue Baochai to have this thing.

But the potato plant is not beautiful, why would Xue Baochai raise such a potted plant?

Probably because, at the time, it was a new plant!

In later generations, potatoes were already a common crop, and naturally no one thought it looked good. However, in Xue Baochai's time, because of its novelty, some people may think that it has some cultivation value!

Different times have different understandings.

At that time, although Xue Baochai had already introduced potatoes, they had not yet been popularized, so they were not rare, and they did not become food crops, which is also reasonable.

At that time, the taste of potatoes was not good, and not every household could have potato beef stew. Besides, if it is not a year of famine, who the hell eats potatoes? Do you really think potatoes are delicious?

It is not surprising that people have not yet developed its edible value.

"In my yard!"

Xue Baochai said to Qin Zhen.

They passed through the Grand View Garden, and they passed through the cold palace of the imperial palace. But when I moved out later, I naturally brought out some of my own things.

This potted potato plant, probably Xue Baochai thinks it has useful value, or it is her hard work, and she is reluctant to throw it away, so she also brought it out.

When Qin Zhen heard Xue Baochai say this, he was overjoyed.
