"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"

Outside the tent there was a low cry of high and low, a little hurried, as if there was something urgent.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Jian asked with a cold face, if the eyes can kill, Gao Qiqian would have been chopped into meat paste long ago, don't you know that my brother just finished chatting with the goddess about his life ideals, and he was as tired as a dog, and he was trying to rest?

"The old slave deserves death."

Gao Qiqian was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, he was also dizzy, anxious to report the good news, forgetting that the emperor and the red concubine had just finished talking about life ideals, and was so tired that he needed to rest, but then again, the emperor himself said that if there was news about that potato or something, no matter when, report it to him as soon as possible, and for this reason, he also specially asked the officers on duty at the gate of the Beijing Division and the gate of the palace to let him go.

"What? What did you just say? ”

Zhu Jian jumped up from the bed violently as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, grabbed Gao Qiqian's chest with his hand, and asked repeatedly, this news was too exciting, he was afraid that his ears would hear it wrong, and forced Gao Qiqian to say it again.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Ma Wu and they have found potatoes, and they are waiting outside the palace gate." Gao Qiqian hurriedly lowered his eyelids, thinking in his heart, the emperor forgives his sins, and the old slave didn't see anything, but, to be honest, the emperor is worthy of the true dragon emperor, the gods are thick and mighty, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary husbands and vulgar people.

Daxi and Shuangxi hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly put on clothes and shoes for the emperor, although the sisters had served the emperor N back, their pretty faces were still full of red clouds of shame, and they were so nervous that fine beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, and their hands and feet were a little weak.

"Xuan!"

Zhu Jian couldn't comfort Lu Hongniang and the twin sisters, flicked his sleeves, walked with a tiger, and rushed outward, this news was so good for him that it was indescribable.

Daming drought all over the year, no harvest, hunger all over the wilderness, and potatoes are produced in the Americas drought-tolerant and high-yield crops, easy to grow indiscriminately, nutritious, hunger resistance is higher than white rice, is a complete replacement for rice life-saving food, a large number of crops, even if not all can solve the problem of food and clothing of the people, can also greatly alleviate the pressure of demand for food, as long as there is a stuttering belly filling, the people will not make trouble, make the Ming Dynasty's opposite, internal stability, he is naturally not afraid of the Jin army who repeatedly offends the border.

Zhu Jian summoned Ma Wu and more than a dozen Jinyi guards and Dongchang secret spies in Lu Hongniang's garden, looking at the dusty servants, his face was tired, but he was full of joy Ma Wu and others, he nodded with satisfaction, and ordered the eunuch to move more than a dozen chairs and let them sit down, and even called in with Lei Yin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wang Chengen, and Zhang Weiliang, who were waiting outside, and asked the palace maids to bring tea and snacks to satisfy their hunger.

"Tell me about it." Zhu Jian was in a good mood, and his sleepiness disappeared, this will be fierce again, he wants to hear how Ma Wu and the others discovered the process of potatoes.

Ma Wu was a secret spy of the Jinyi guard, and at the signal of the Jin commander Lei Yin, he added his lips and began to tell the process of finding potatoes and other crops.

After Ma Wu and the others received the order, they immediately rushed to the coastal area of Fujian, under the cover of various identities, wandering around, scattering to inquire about looking for potatoes and so on, a few months passed, the shoes were worn out N pairs, and there was not a single ghost.

The order given to his subordinates by Lei Yin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Wang Chengen, the commander of the East Factory, was that he could not find the Dongdong that the emperor wanted, so he stayed in Fujian for the rest of his life.

During this period, the Fujian sailors were violently beaten by the great pirate Zheng Zhilong into the bottom of the sea, and suffered heavy losses, which once affected their search work, but fortunately, it did not take long for Zheng Zhilong to accept the court's recruitment, and the merchant ships became active again.

Not long after, the Son of Heaven's "Sea Ban Order" was issued, Zheng Zhilong seized the merchant ships going to sea like a madman, and turned the coastal cities of Fujian upside down.

The small businessman in Fujian came back on one of the foreign merchant ships, he had a small capital, and he didn't play much, but he still made a lot of money when he went to sea, and of course there were also those who lost money, and the bags of potatoes he brought back were sold along the street for a few days and could not be sold, and no one even asked for them.

Li Zhitong was helpless, and was about to throw it into the woods on the side of the road, Ma Wu and others just happened to bump into it, and saw that the appearance of the potato was similar to the figure drawn by the emperor, and then asked, it was really a potato, they didn't say a word, so Li Zhitong and his people took a few bags of potatoes and tied them into the car, and at the same time notified the brothers who came out to find the potatoes together, and hurried back to Beijing to report the good news.

Ma Wu and others hurried all the way, and it was already dark when they arrived at the foot of the Jingshi City, fortunately, the officers on duty had already received the notice from Shangfeng, and did not embarrass Ma Wu and others, and after checking their identities, they sent someone to notify the commander of Jinyi Wei and Zhang Weiliang, the deputy governor of Dongchang, to come and recognize people.

Lei Yin and Zhang Weiliang had already fallen asleep, but when they heard that Ma Wu and the others were back, they jumped up from the bed with joy, hurried to the city gate, and showed the secret decree issued by the Son of Heaven N months ago, and Ma Wu and the others were able to enter the city.

It took some time to enter the palace, although Lei Yin and Zhang Weiliang could go straight to the palace to face the saint, but it was only during the day, and the palace gate was closed at night, and the procedures that should be taken had to be taken, until Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, was alarmed, and everyone was able to enter the palace.

"Okay, I have clear rewards and punishments, you have made great contributions, and I will be rewarded." Zhu Jian slapped his thigh, and immediately rewarded him, and found that Ma Wu and others were promoted to three levels and rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, while others had no merit and hard work, and the official was promoted to one level and rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver.

He was in a very good mood at the moment, and the reward was naturally generous, and even with the Jinyi Guard commander Lei Yin, the chief and deputy commander of the East Factory Wang Chengen and Zhang Weiliang were all commended, and each allocated 10,000 taels of silver as a bonus, how to divide him too lazy to care.

Subsequently, Li Zhitong was announced into the hall, kneeling on the ground tremblingly, on the way to the Beijing Division, although Ma Wu and others had explained clearly, he was still nervous, it was the legendary true dragon Tianzi, as if in a dream, pinched his thigh several times, and the clear pain told him that all this was true.

Zhu Jian inquired carefully, mainly asking Li Zhitong how to get potatoes, related planting methods, etc., and finally made a version on the spot, sealing Li Zhi with the military rank of a military attache lieutenant, responsible for the HNA business, and pulling back potatoes, corn and other high-yield crops for me.

"Your Majesty." Li Zhitong, who was smashed by the big golden cake falling from the world, hurriedly knelt down to thank him, so happy that his mouth couldn't close it, Edi Niang, our ancestral tomb must be smoking.

For ordinary people, whether it is a civil official or a military attaché, it is an official, the existence of the bull pen coaxing, he is a small businessman, just because he got back a few bags of potatoes that no one wanted, let the Son of Heaven Longyan Dayue, sealed an official, this hair died, the mother and daughter-in-law must be crazy, and they must show off for a few days after returning home, so that the neighbors are envious and jealous, hehe.
