"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, Rong Chen asks." A minister hurriedly came out and played.

Still have questions? Yang Reform was puzzled: "Let's just say it, what's the problem?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask, how much does this fold cost, and how much does it account for in taxes?" This one is estimated to be from the Tobe.

"This ......" Yang Reform made another difficulty, the problem of color folding, I haven't thought about it, these few stones of sweet potatoes to a stone of grain, it is still a problem, this depends on the yield of sweet potatoes after planting on the ground! It's too early to set it now, and the yield of sweet potatoes in the 21st century and now is very different. As for the percentage of taxes, it is even more unreasonable.

The proportion of taxes is less, this scale is not up, this proportion is more, and it is not a matter to give gold partners to officials every day, and brain platinum is not a thing! Yang Reform is difficult left and right, and then looked at Xu Guangqi, Xu Guang started to move his lips, and then looked at the ground, but did not speak.

Yang reform's mind changed sharply, remembering that this sweet potato is a good thing, why is it so difficult to promote? If it doesn't work, I'll feed the pigs with sweet potatoes, it's always okay, just engage in industrial farms, and I'm about to make a ruthless adjustment to the proportion of sweet potatoes in taxes to a very high level, Sun Chengzong came out and played: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the problem of folding color is not in a hurry for the time being, and then make a final conclusion after Xu Shaobao tries to plant, as for how many percent of the tax, this, the minister thinks that it is more safe to account for three percent, of course, it is best to try to plant by His Majesty after the trial of the Lord." ”

Sun Chengzong came out to speak. Yang Reform finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how bad it is, the proportion will not be lower than three percent. This Donglin Party's anti-target has spoken, and it is also quite influential.

……

"That's it, the issue of folding color will be discussed after Master Xu tries to plant, and as for the issue of how much tax is paid, wait for me to think about it." Yang Gai felt that this thirty percent was too little, and even if he used it to feed the pigs, he would be able to make a fortune, because the yield of this sweet potato was too high. Yang Reform has a little impression that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu in the 21st century is more than several thousand catties, and there is a gap of more than 10 times between the grain yield per mu in the north of the Ming Dynasty and only 2 or 300 catties per mu, of course, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to grow the yield of sweet potatoes in the 21st century.

……

This meeting still achieved some results, at least the promotion of sweet potatoes was decided, and Xu Guangqi was in charge.

At the end of the meeting, Yang Reform was still thinking about the question of how much tax to pay.

Sun Chengzong said that the three percent is too little, of course, this can't be blamed on Sun Chengzong, this is also the insurance period, when there is no good place for sweet potatoes, forcibly give sweet potatoes to officials and soldiers, it is not a good thing, Sun Chengzong said that three percent is also the consideration of Lao Cheng, for the consideration of the imperial court.

Yang reformed and pondered hard, what can this sweet potato do in the future?

French fries? It seems to be made of potatoes, not sweet potatoes, although with a potato word.

Steamed sweet potatoes? Baked sweet potatoes? How many sweet potatoes can be baked this year? But it can create a group of craftsmen who rely on baked sweet potato paste, which can be regarded as expanding employment?

Make sweet potato candy? It seems that during the New Year's holiday, people with this craft can make a small profit, which can be regarded as expanding employment?

Also What is the use of sweet potatoes on a large scale?

Is it really a sweet potato to feed pigs? Yang Gengai remembered that this sweet potato was often used to feed pigs in the countryside, and it was slaughtered during the New Year.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, no one had anything to eat, and they gave the pigs sweet potatoes? Yang Gai felt that this person lived cheaper than a pig, and he really couldn't make up his mind.

……

So what else can you do with this sweet potato?

Yang Gai walked in the Palace Museum, his thoughts fluttering in the sky.

Due to the early dynasty and the meeting, she hadn't eaten lunch yet, and Queen Zhou Wan'er had been waiting in the Qianqing Palace for a long time. When he saw the emperor returning, he immediately greeted him.

"The emperor is back."

"Well, I'm back."

"Your Majesty, I haven't had lunch yet, and the concubine made steamed pork by herself. Your Majesty, taste it. "Zhou Wan'er has been waiting for the emperor in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, I heard that the emperor has not eaten lunch, has been discussing state affairs, and is also very concerned, immediately made some steamed pork with her own hands, waiting for Yang Reform to come back, taking care of the emperor is the queen's duty, and enhancing the relationship between the two, this is a good opportunity.

"Tamales?" A flash of light crossed Yang Reform's mind. Looks like something is lit up. It's a pity that it passed too quickly and disappeared into memory again.

"Yes! Your Majesty, it's the steamed pork made by the concubines, Your Majesty taste it, and see if it's delicious. Zhou Wan'er looked at the emperor very eagerly, hoping that the emperor could eat a bite of the tamales he made.

"Tamales?" Yang Gengai once again read that this thing must be related to the sweet potato he had been thinking about just now, but where is the connection? Yang Reform just can't remember.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Empress Zhou Wan'er looked at the emperor curiously, she didn't know what was wrong with the emperor, it was very strange.

"Tamales, tamales, flour...... That's right!! This sweet potato can be made into a vermicelli! Sweet potato flour, oh my goodness! How could I have forgotten something so important? God help me...... God help me too......" Yang Reform suddenly remembered that this sweet potato can be made into sweet potato flour.

This sweet potato flour, in the past, was a must-have food for every household to eat for the New Year! This pork stewed vermicelli, that's a big name! How could you forget such an important thing?

If you want to celebrate the New Year in the future, every household will prepare a few catties or more than a dozen catties of sweet potato flour, some of which are used as a dish for the New Year, or enjoyed together after relatives come, which is really the best choice for entertaining guests. The amount is enough, smooth and smooth, stewed with pork, in the cold winter, the aroma is overflowing, I don't know how fragrant it is. Eating this hot pork stewed vermicelli in the winter, eating a bulging stomach, eating warm on the body, and taking out a sun, is really a great enjoyment of life.

This family needs a few catties, this Ming Dynasty, with a population of more than 100 million, how much sweet potato flour does this get this year? How many sweet potatoes do you need? As soon as Yang Reform settled the account a little, his heart surged. With such a large demand, this sweet potato, do you still have to give a death order to promote? As long as you sacrifice this sweet potato vermicelli, in this world, sweet potatoes will immediately become a hot item, rush to plant!

Yang Reform's mood suddenly brightened.

looked at Queen Zhou Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, you are really my lucky star!" I have to remind you that I have just blessed my soul and thought of a great thing that benefits the country and the people. ”

"Is this true?" Queen Zhou Wan'er held a bowl of steamed pork, looked at the emperor a little at a loss, and suddenly shouted, "God help me, ...... me", and then told her what good things are good for the country and the people, and she was already confused.

"Hehe, Wan'er, I ate this steamed pork, this time, I really thank you!" After Yang Reform finished speaking, he snatched the bowl in the queen's hand, ate the tamales in the bowl in a few bites, and shouted: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

Empress Zhou Wan'er watched the emperor eat what she cooked with her own hands with a happy face.

Ate a few bites of tamales.

Yang Reform's mind turned a few more times.

Since there are no sweet potato fans in the Ming Dynasty now, doesn't it mean that you can make a sweet potato flour processing factory? Monopolize the nationwide sweet potato vermicelli market? This seems to be a monopoly at all. Factories need workers, not to mention that they can increase employment, this monopoly makes money, but it is all their own!

Thinking about it again, I use this sweet potato to offset taxes, in fact, I don't need to be a golden partner or brain platinum to send to officials, I can collect it at a low cost, and then process it to make sweet potato vermicelli, and then sell it back.

Then this sweet potato tax credit, it seems that it can be fully taxed. The scale of this sweet potato is probably quite large. Compared with the promotion of Chongzhen Lane in history, the effect is definitely much better.

Again, the preservation problem of this sweet potato will be solved. Sweet potatoes can't be stored for long, but sweet potato flour is no problem to store for a year or two. Well, this is a good thing, easy to store, easy to transport, easy to cook, and refreshing to eat. This is another market, which is really a lot of money!

Yang Gengai really wanted to look up to the sky and smile and vent.

Thinking about Chongzhen in history, he may not know that he processed sweet potatoes into sweet potato vermicelli, which led to the failure of promoting sweet potatoes, and wasted an opportunity to save the Ming Dynasty, which is embarrassing.

One step forward is heaven, one step back is hell!
