Looking at a few people with confidence, Yang Lian had a smile on his face, but Sun Chengzong on the side knew something. Reached out and took the thing that Yang Lian handed over, and put it in his mouth without thinking about it.

After eating a few bites, Sun Chengzong had an aftertaste on his face, and said to Yang Lian on the side: "Lord Yang, you are really hidden!" After coming to Liaodong for so long, you didn't say that you were actually doing this. If it really happens, you will be the hero of my Ming Dynasty, much better than the old man! ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, how did you say this, Sun Chengzong's achievements are unparalleled, how could he say such a thing? Could it be that this black thing is really a treasure? Several people hurriedly put things in their mouths and quickly ate a few bites.

Giving a salute to Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian had a little shame on his face, and said: "My lord praised it falsely, how could Yang Lian have such an ability, this was all secretly arranged by the emperor." When the lower officials took office in Liaodong, the emperor had already explained! I wonder if adults still remember the foreigner named Ephes? ”

Slightly stunned, Sun Chengzong nodded quite seriously, he naturally remembered this matter. As soon as he arrived in Liaodong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sent someone to send Hongyi cannons, and a few foreigners came with him, who taught artillery shooting.

When Yang Lian came to Liaodong, he also brought a foreigner with him, who was called Efes. But what did he do, Sun Chengzong didn't know, did it have something to do with this matter? The emperor is so far-sighted!

Nodding, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "This old man naturally remembers, the emperor seems to have come to let him do something, and after the matter is completed, he promised to give him five hundred taels of gold, are these all the merits of this foreigner?" ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Yang Lian said with reverence: "The emperor is wise and martial, I really can't wait." When the lower official left the capital, the emperor personally summoned the lower official and handed you a booklet for the lower official, which is the method of cultivation! But the emperor is not at ease, this Efes has experience in this area, so the emperor sent this person over! ”

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Sun Chengzong's eyes flashed that young figure, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is really wise and wise, peerless! Looking at Yang Lian with a happy face, Sun Chengzong said, "How is it?" Can it already be planted in Liaodong? ”

Unable to hide the excitement on his face, Yang Lian nodded excitedly and said, "Lord Hui, you can already plant in Liaodong!" At the beginning of spring next year, the yamen will be able to distribute seedlings to the people, and they will be harvested in July and August! ”

"My lord, what the hell is this?" Wiping his mouth and putting the black skin aside, Xiong Tingbi looked at the excited two people and asked in a deep voice.

At this time, several people present could vaguely guess something, but they couldn't believe it, hearing Xiong Tingbi speak, several people all looked at Yang Lian and Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong and Yang Lian glanced at each other, and they both laughed at the same time, with joy on their faces. Turning his gaze to the side of Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong asked in a brisk tone, "Jiandou, do you know what this thing is?" ”

"Back to the teacher, the students know. This thing is called sweet potato, students have eaten it, and it is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica: sweet potato replenishes deficiency, strengthens the spleen and appetizes, and strengthens kidney yin. The student ate it when he was at home, it doesn't seem to be cheap, and it seems to be a medicinal herb, I don't know what Lord Yang means by letting us eat this? Lu Xiangsheng saluted respectfully, but with a little doubt on his face, he looked at Yang Lian on the side.

There were a lot of Lu Xiangsheng up and down, Yang Lian turned his head and said to Sun Chengzong: "It's really terrifying!" It is worthy of being the eye of this year's list, and he is well-informed. The adult has accepted a good disciple, and after being loyal and good, he can be literate and martial, which is really rare! For Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Lian did not hesitate to praise him!

Sun Chengzong nodded, didn't say anything modest, and said to Yang Lian with a smile: "Lord Yang, let's talk about it!" Don't hide it! ”

"Yes, sir! However, before talking about this sweet potato, the lower official has to confess to the adult. This matter should have been known to the adults, but it was the lower officials who concealed it from the adults out of caution, hoping that the adults would not be surprised! Yang Lian looked at Sun Chengzong with some embarrassment, his face was a little hot.

Smiled and waved his hand, Sun Chengzong didn't care at all, and said: "If you don't lose your ministers, if you don't lose your ministers, if you don't keep secrets, you will be harmful." The emperor handed over such an important matter to Lord Yang, and Lord Yang naturally had to be cautious first. The old man is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, Lord Yang doesn't have to be like this! ”

"Thank you for your understanding, then the lower official will talk about this sweet potato, which is called sweet potato because it tastes sweet and delicious. Sweet potato was introduced to the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth year of Wanli, and it first appeared in Fujian, and it spread widely. However, because of the complexity of cultivation, many people regard him as a medicinal herb. Yang Lian looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile on his face, and there was also admiration in his eyes!

Picking up the sweet potato on the side, Yang Lian continued: "But sweet potato is actually a kind of grain, similar to the rice we planted, but we don't have it." In Fanbang, the people planted and ate it. For various reasons, the spread of sweet potatoes was relatively slow, but the emperor discovered the benefits of this thing, so he took this thing to Liaodong for trial planting. ”

"Lord Yang, as far as I know, this sweet potato is very complicated to grow, and the yield is not necessarily higher than that of corn." Lu Xiangsheng frowned and looked at Yang Lian, with a little suspicion on his face.

Jiandou said that it makes sense, if this is really the case, the emperor will not have such an idea, and how can this official waste such time. Jiandou should know that under the condition of good weather, the corn produced by one acre of fertile land is only five stones! Yang Lian looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile, this young man is really good, he has a unique vision, he sees the problem accurately, and he will become a great tool with a little training.

Nodding slowly, Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew this, being able to produce five stone rice, which was already a happy thing for many farmers.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng agreed with his opinion, Yang Lian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "But sweet potatoes are different from corn, and you can get fifteen stones of sweet potatoes per mu of land, which is more than three times that of corn!" However, sweet potatoes cannot replace corn, but sweet potatoes can be grown anywhere, and they do not have to be farmed. If corn is grown in the fertile fields and sweet potatoes are planted in the rest of the fields, the people can make a living for a year. ”

looked at Yang Lian dumbfounded, not only Lu Xiangsheng was suppressed, but Sun Chengzong and others on the side were also suppressed! Fifteen stones of sweet potatoes can be obtained per mu, which is really unbelievable!

"Lord Yang, is this true?" Although he knew that Yang Lian couldn't lie to himself, Sun Chengzong still asked hesitantly, his body trembling. Although I knew the benefits of sweet potatoes, I didn't expect to be able to harvest so much. If it is really as Yang Lian said, then there is no need to worry about the grain in Liaodong!

Looking at Sun Chengzong and the others, Yang Lian didn't speak, just nodded lightly, with an excited smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is it that makes you so happy to laugh? Can you tell us about it? At this time, the door of the house was pushed open, and Chen Hong stood at the door with a smile on his face.

After saluting each other, Yang Lian told Chen Hong about the sweet potato, and at this time, there was no need to hide it!

"This is a sweet potato, our family has heard the emperor say it several times, let our family taste it!" Chen Hong's face was also full of surprise, and he said to Yang Lian with a smile.

"The matter of sweet potatoes is a big deal, and this matter must be played to the court immediately, so that the emperor will also be happy! In addition, it is necessary to arrange a trial planting, and the emperor still needs to call the shots! Sun Chengzong looked at Chen Hong and the others with a smile, and said in a brisk tone.

Several people nodded in agreement, and except for Chen Hong, all of them signed the fold. As a person in the palace, Chen Hong naturally will not play the fold with them, but needs to fold the secret!

In Yanjing City, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at the paper in front of him, thinking about something, and wrote a few strokes on it from time to time.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have commanded Luo Sigong to ask to see you!" Wang Chengen came to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said in a respectful tone.

Raising his head and rubbing his swollen forehead, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stretched his waist and said, "Let people take him to the pavilion, I want to go out to breathe!" As he spoke, he stood up and walked down, with a little tiredness on his face.

As soon as he walked out a few steps, the Emperor of the Apocalypse turned back to Wang Chengen and said, "The paper on the table is burned, and no one can see it!" With that, he walked out of the main hall.

Wang Chengen walked to the table, reached out and picked up a few pieces of paper, he didn't dare to look at it, but he inadvertently swept it and saw the handwriting on the first paper.

I saw a few words written crookedly on it: a whip method = paving into the mu! What does that mean? I don't know the back, but Wang Chengen knows about a whip, does the emperor want it? Thinking of this, Wang Chengen didn't dare to think down, came to the edge of the brazier, and lit a few pieces of paper. It wasn't until the flames were extinguished that Wang Chengen poured the ashes into the basin of water before turning to leave.

In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Luo Sigong in front of him, nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, Aiqing's body seems to be recovering well, I can rest assured!" ”

"Thank you for your Majesty's care, and it will be difficult for you to repay one of your deaths!" Luo Sigong knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Luo Aiqing, do you have anything to do this time?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's about capturing Huang Taiji, and the minister doesn't know whether to say something or not!" Luo Sigong didn't stand up, knelt there, and said with a serious face.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly stunned, straightened his expression, nodded, and said, "If Aiqing has anything to say, just say it!" I won't blame you. ”

"The emperor of Chenjue seems to care too much about this Huang Taiji, and the son of Nurhachi of Jiannu has a big push, this is just one of them. The emperor is so enthusiastic to hunt down Huang Taiji, the minister thinks it is inappropriate! Although Luo Sigong hesitated on his face, after saying it, his face was calm! (To be continued.)
