Chapter 792: Then Why Don't You Go?
"No matter how much, it's good to have something to eat."
"Yes, we have such an emperor who loves the people, but it is really our blessing."
“……”
For a while, everyone praised the emperor, and when they got to the back, some people shouted long live.
When Sun Ji saw this scene, he couldn't help but be moved, and felt that the emperor was indeed wise.
Angelica stretched out her hand and beckoned, and the cook lifted the lid of the pot on the steamer.
Snow-white steamed buns and buns are presented in front of everyone's eyes.
There was a commotion below, and everyone pushed me and wanted to squeeze forward.
Angelica raised his hands high and said in a loud voice: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, don't squeeze, I have a few words to tell you before distributing today's relief food." ”
Everyone has seen Angelica for a long time, and they have long been a little curious in their hearts, because Angelica has never come when the relief food was distributed before.
They were all curious about who Angelica really was.
Now that she has spoken, someone asks, "I wonder who the girl is?" ”
Angelica said: "My name is Angelica, the emperor is wise, because I grow sweet potatoes in Anyi City, so I was named the lord of Anping County by the emperor, today, I came here to ask you to do me a favor." ”
Speaking of this, Angelica paused and glanced down.
The people below began to talk.
"Anyi City grows sweet potatoes, do you know about this?"
"I know I know that Anyi City was originally occupied by Beimeng and Xiliang, and the food of the people in the city was robbed, and it was all up to Yigong to come forward and beat the enemy away, but there was no food in the city, and everyone was hungry.
"Yi Gong is really a good person, but what's the matter with being a girl planting sweet potatoes? What is a sweet potato? ”
"Sweet potatoes are a kind of food, they grow in the ground, and they can grow so big." He gestured with his hand and continued: "Yi Gong is not a particularly noble person, so he doesn't have so much money to buy food, so Yi Gong and when he is a girl, he teaches everyone to plant sweet potatoes, this sweet potato, it will be harvested in three months, and one mu of land can harvest three or four thousand catties, Anyi City will have food all of a sudden, and no one will be hungry anymore." ”
"How do you know so well?"
"I have a relative over there, and he wrote to tell me that he asked me to go to Anyi City."
"Then why don't you go?"
"I want to go, but Chang'an City is more than a thousand kilometers away from Anyi City, and I drag my family with me, I'm afraid that I will starve to death before I reach Anyi City, so it's better to stay in Chang'an City, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor will not watch us starve to death."
"It seems that you are lucky, you see, isn't the girl who grows sweet potatoes in Anyi City here?"
The man listened, nodded vigorously, then stopped talking, looked up ahead, stared at Angelica, and listened to her.
Angelica raised his hands high and made a silent motion, and the people below slowly quieted down.
When the voices below had almost disappeared, Angelica continued: "The emperor is very concerned about whether everyone can eat enough, and as soon as he heard that the yield of sweet potatoes we planted is very high, he immediately summoned me to the palace and asked me to try to grow sweet potatoes in the royal farm, and if the yield is really high, it will be promoted throughout the country in the spring of the next year." ”
As soon as Angelica's words fell, a burst of cheers sounded below.
"Okay, with sweet potatoes, the people of our Longling Kingdom don't have to go hungry anymore."
"The emperor is really wise."
