What about the promised imperial meal?

What about the delicacies of the mountains and the sea?

Can anyone tell me what this round non-yo-yo ball, and a little hot thing is?

At this moment, the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were broken, holding strange things in their hands, which could barely be said to be food, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

"What's the matter, you Aiqing are not satisfied with my arrangement?"

On the high platform, looking at the civil and military officials below looking at each other, Su Zimo also smiled secretly, and took the things presented by Gong E on the side - the same palm-sized, reddish-brown skin, round things.

At this moment, if there is a person in this world, he will not hesitate to say the name of this thing.

"Isn't this a sweet potato!"

Sweet potato, scientific name sweet potato, also known as sweet potato, sweet potato.

Native to Mexico and other places, in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhenlong, a Fujian person, went to the sea to trade, obtained rattan seedlings and planting methods into China, and then gradually introduced to Fujian, Guangdong, China, and then spread to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River basin and Taiwan Province.

It can be said that the emergence of sweet potatoes has greatly solved the problem of grain shortage in China.

Generally speaking, the yield of spring wheat per mu is 300-400 kg, the yield of winter wheat per mu is 400-500 kg, and the yield of rice per mu is about 500 kg, and as for sweet potato, the yield per mu can reach thousands of kg.

Therefore, after grasping the situation in the imperial court, Su Zimo did not hesitate to sacrifice this big killing weapon for the benefit of the country and the people.

"That's fine."

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Su Zimo couldn't help but shake his head, and immediately picked up the sweet potato in his hand, peeled off the skin, and demonstrated the way to eat sweet potatoes in public.

Then, a cadre of ministers naturally learned and began to taste.

After a while, bursts of exclamations sounded one after another, endlessly.

"This thing...... What is it, the entrance is soft and sweet, the taste is rich, and it can be called a supreme delicacy! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Let's haw, let's chirp, and ask Your Majesty to solve our doubts......"

Looking at the gobbling up of people below, Su Zimo couldn't help but laugh, it stands to reason that those who can enter this hall are at least above the fourth grade, and if they are in the next generation, they should be provincial and ministerial-level officials.

But now?

One by one, they held sweet potatoes, with tears in their eyes, like refugees who had been hungry for days.

The huge contrast is unbearable.

After a "sweet potato feast", many people with flexible minds have begun to consider His Majesty's intentions......

As courtiers, the most important thing is to always figure out what they want, and they naturally won't be naïve enough to think that this is just an ordinary homely meal.

"What do you think Aiqing thinks, what does this sweet potato taste?"

Hearing these words, the hearts of the ministers were shocked, and their faces were full of red light, and they said in unison.

"Such delicacies are naturally delicious!"

And Shi Zhixuan, who received Su Zimo's signal, took a step forward with Pei Ju's vest, and arched his hand: "Minister Pei Ju dared to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what the yield of this sweet potato is?" ”

"This point, there is no basis for words, it is better for me to take all Aiqing and take a look in person," Su Zimo smiled lightly, turned his head to look at the eunuch not far away, and said loudly: "Come on, get up, go to Huangzhuang!" ”

After that, the group rushed towards the direction of Huangzhuang.

This imperial village is naturally the emperor's private land, and all kinds of crops in it are also carefully cultivated by special personnel to supply the emperor, as well as the concubines and princes who are eligible to enjoy it.

It is equivalent to those so-called "internal special offerings" of later generations.

And so many civil and military officials went together, including His Majesty the Emperor, so that the steward of the Huangzhuang was already frightened and overwhelmed, but fortunately, this person was also clever, and hurriedly gathered a group of subordinates and greeted them in a swarm.

"I don't know if Your Majesty arrives, and the slave will miss the distance."

"Get up."

In this regard, Su Zimo also nodded slightly, waved his hand indifferently and said: "Today, I want to go to Huangtian with all of you to have a look, and lead the way ahead!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, under the leadership of this steward, a group of people also came to the field for the first time, looking at the lush seedlings, but their eyes were full of heat, as if they were appreciating some rare treasure.

Then, Su Zimo also spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, here is the sweet potato you tasted before, it just so happens that there is more than an acre of land here, which has not yet been mined, just in front of you Aiqing, take a look at the yield of this sweet potato." ”

As soon as the words fell, a dozen or so peasants who had been ordered to come to the field, pull up the vines, and peel away the dirt, revealing the huge sweet potatoes that grew below.

Suddenly, there was a wave of exclamations.

"This ...... There are so many sweet potatoes. ”

"It's a miracle...... God gave me the Great Sui Divine Artifact......"

"Long live my emperor!"

Although these civil and military officials don't know anything about farming, they also know how much influence so many sweet potatoes have...... What a sea change!

"Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes in the field have been harvested."

More than an hour later, a group of farmers were also busy sweating profusely, and then there were guards to assist these farmers, weighing the sweet potatoes and beginning to measure their yield per mu.

"A thousand...... Two thousand ...... Three thousand! ”

"Three thousand pounds...... Hiss! ”

Hearing this number, all the civil and military officials gasped.

Seeing this, Su Zimo also nodded slightly.

In the ancient environment, in the absence of various planting techniques in the modern world, as well as the addition of those compound fertilizers, it is quite rare to have this yield.

The yield of 3,000 catties per mu, which is several times the yield of wheat, is enough to solve the most difficult problem of famine at present.

However, someone thought of an important question, and hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Weichen dares to ask, I don't know if this sweet potato can be used as a staple food?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hot-headed ministers also calmed down a little.

Yes, although they tasted this sweet potato before, it was also extremely delicious, but if it was not used as a staple food, the yield would be high...... But it also to no avail.

"Nothing to do!"

In this regard, Su Zimo also nodded with a light smile, and in the expectant eyes of the minister, he said quietly: "This sweet potato can not only be used as a staple food, but also can be made into dried sweet potatoes for long-term storage."

Other than that...... You can also make sake with this thing! ”

"Hiss——!"

This sentence surprised the ministers again.

In ancient times, grain was precious, and the main ingredient for making wine was grain...... Therefore, the price of liquor is also extremely high, and the sale of liquor without permission has been strictly prohibited in successive dynasties.

All right...... The traverser's big killer is almost known, and it's not too much for the protagonist to come out.
