"That's true."

Old Man Xu nodded, "As far as the old minister knows, Zhenglei's daughter-in-law came to Hengzhou City the year before last to visit a foreign product shop and found these strange seeds.

She found that these imported products were almost thrown away as garbage, so she bought them back with silver and carefully protected them, and began planting them in early spring last year.

At that time, there were not many seeds and some damage, and the yield of the planting was not high, but it was a successful planting.

Leave the newly planted seeds and start planting again before a good harvest is harvested.

At that time, after the harvest, she didn't think about offering it to Chaoyan, but thought that the planting place was good and bad, the yield was different, and the crops were dug up.

If it was reported to Chaoyan last year, it would not be good to count the statistics, so we and others discussed with her to keep most of it as seeds, plant them in large quantities this year, and then play Chaoyan so that the saint can send someone to count the output.

Now it seems that this year is indeed a bumper harvest, I didn't expect to transport back so many crops, the old minister is here to congratulate the saint, and the common people can add some food to the table in the future. ”

"It makes sense."

The Emperor nodded, "I am indeed very surprised to receive these data, there are about thousands of acres of fields, and the amount of food grown has reached nearly 100,000 catties.

This kind of production is really amazing, and we can't reach such a high yield of all kinds of grain in our country.

I had a simple roasted sweet potato and potatoes yesterday, as well as boiled pumpkin, the potatoes were a little bland, very soft and glutinous in the mouth, and very delicious with a little sauce, and the roasted sweet potatoes were very sweet, and they were very delicious just roasted.

The pumpkin has a slightly lighter flavor and a sweet taste, which can be salted or sweetened, so you can eat it without putting anything.

The most important thing is that these things are very filling to eat, and they are indeed good things to fill your stomach.

Su Zhenglei's daughter-in-law has made a great contribution this time. ”

Speaking of which......

The emperor's interested gaze fell on the King of Jinjun, and he asked with a smile, "Lord Jun, how do you say I should reward your daughter-in-law?" ”

The prince of Jin County responded with his hand, "Returning to the saint, offering auspicious rui to Chaoyan is what Zhenglei's daughter-in-law should do, as for how to reward, rely on the holy judgment." ”

"What, don't you give your daughter-in-law a favor?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Because the princess of Jinjun doesn't like this daughter-in-law, she asked their mother and son to stay in Hengzhou City so far, isn't the behavior of your Jinjun palace too chilling for their mother and son?" ”

The prince of Jin County immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Weichen is guilty." ”

"I don't know if you're guilty, but your princess ......"

The emperor hooked his lips slightly, and lightly ordered, "Get up, for the sake of your daughter-in-law's great achievements, I don't bother to take care of your family's." ”

"Wechen has thanked the Holy Grace."

The prince of Jinjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up and stood up.

The emperor continued to say to Master Xu: "Tomorrow I am going to hold a palace banquet, this banquet is mainly to invite the officials to taste the delicacies made by new varieties of crops, such a high yield of grain must be vigorously promoted and planted, at the latest within two years, we must have these foods on the table of the common people of Rui Kingdom." ”

"Wechen understands."

Master Xu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, "The old minister thanked the holy grace for the people. ”

"The one who should be thanked is not me."

The emperor's eyebrows showed a look of displeasure, "Those wastes in Sinong Temple also have contact with these imported varieties, but they can't grow them, otherwise these high-yield crops should have been promoted a long time ago, so that the common people will no longer be hungry." ”

"The saint is angry, no one is familiar with the imported varieties, the people of Sinong Temple have not found the right way to plant them, and Zhenglei's daughter-in-law has been exposed to various crops in the countryside, and she is also lucky, and she is lucky to plant these things in a disorderly manner."

Old Man Xu explained: "Who would have thought that potatoes and sweet potatoes would be stacked together, waiting for them to sprout and then cut into pieces, and stirring with firewood ash to avoid letting the cut potatoes and sweet potatoes rot."

Sweet potatoes can not only be grown in this way, but the most amazing thing is that sweet potato vines can be planted directly in the ground and can also grow sweet potatoes.

Like pumpkins, it's more interesting, as long as you sprout the melon seeds, you can grow forever in a random place, and each melon vine can grow several large pumpkins.

And what kind of carob vine still needs to build a shelf, and pinch off the leaves, I heard that the young leaves of carob can also be used as a delicacy.

These are the experiences accumulated by Zhenglei's daughter-in-law and the tenants in the village again and again, so that the yield of these new varieties of crops can be higher and higher. ”

"Well, that's true."

The Emperor nodded approvingly.

I didn't expect the person in front of me to know so much, so I couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Xu Aiqing knows this matter very well, our Mrs. Su who came out of the countryside is not worse than ordinary in terms of knowledge, and I am really looking forward to meeting Su Zhenglei's daughter-in-law."

Let's see what kind of peasant woman she is, who can bring auspiciousness to our country. ”

"The saint has won the prize."

"The Holy One is serious."

The two elders responded with their hands.

"Those who have made great contributions to the country of Rui should be rewarded."

The emperor was in a good mood and chatted with them, "As far as I know, Su Zhenglei's eldest son is preparing to participate in this year's 'Autumn Festival', and I don't know if I can hear the good news of his promotion." ”

"Shengshang, Wen Xi, this kid is still young, participating in the 'Autumn Witch' this year is just to test the waters, and he may not be able to make the list, so it is more appropriate to wait for the next time with his age."

"Why, you don't think about your apprentice?"

"The saint is smiling, Wen Xi's age is here, no matter how good his talent is, there are limits, and the next time he is fifteen or sixteen years old, it will be easier to get on the list."

"That being said, let's see if your precious apprentice can make the list."

"I hope to be on the list, which can be regarded as an encouragement to him."

"Xu Aiqing is really good at talking, okay, bad, I asked you to tell it all over again."

"It's made the saint smile."

……

Wait for the two to walk out of the palace gate.

Old Man Xu and the prince of Jinjun couldn't help but look at each other and laughed.

"Congratulations to the prince of the county, I'm afraid that this time the Su family is a double lord."

"Hope...... As you wish. ”

The prince of Jinjun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We are sorry for their mother and son, if it weren't for Zhenglei's explanation, this king would like to send someone to take their mother and son back to Beijing." ”

"Let it be."

Old Man Xu thought for a while, "If Shulan's child has a title, no one will dare to bully their mother and son, not to mention that there is An Guogong to protect them."

Besides, Shulan is no longer a village woman who came out of the countryside three years ago, she already has the ability to protect herself.

As for whether she will return to the Jinjun Palace, the old man thinks that it is still up to Zhenglei and his wife to decide.

If the prince interferes, it will only bring unnecessary trouble to Shulan's mother and son......"

"Makes you laugh all the time."

The prince of Jinjun arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "It is said that this prince is too conniving with the princess, no matter what, Zhenglei's daughter-in-law is the princess of our Jinjun Palace, and their mother and son must return to the Jinjun Palace." ”
