This time, without waiting for Emperor Xingyuan to ask, many ministers couldn't help it: "Yu Shangshu, how many are there?"

Looking at this basket of sweet potatoes, you know that the number is not small, but the specific amount still needs to be asked by the person who calculates.

"Twenty-five stones!" Tobe Shangshu blushed and loudly reported a startling number.

The sound of pumping came and went.

Whether you are happy about the emergence of a high-yielding crop like sweet potatoes or those who are resisting, the shock at this time is the same.

Twenty-five stones, the yield per mu is twenty-five stones!

Emperor Xingyuan Huo Ran got up: "Is there really twenty-five stones?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true, twenty-five stones are still rich!" Tobe Shangshu's voice trembled, and his eyes turned red.

If this sweet potato can be spread throughout the Great Xia, even if the yield is reduced, the number of people dying of starvation will be greatly reduced.

Miss Xin's merit is in the future!

Hubu Shangshu was in a agitated mood, and suddenly bowed deeply to Xin Yu: "Xin waits for the edict, sweet potatoes will surely benefit hundreds of people, please accept the old decay!"

The ministers looked at the Hubu Shangshu in a daze, and did not react for a while.

Emperor Xingyuan was stunned for a moment and then laughed loudly: "Great Xia can get sweet potatoes, and Xin Zhizhao should indeed be the first credit!"

The ministers woke up like a dream, and the words of praise came out one after another.

King Xiu listened to everyone's praise of Xin Yu, and smiled at her.

Xin Yu returned the salute, but did not lose his mind in this piece of praise.

She doesn't think everyone welcomes sweet potatoes.

Emperor Xingyuan was extremely happy, and immediately announced that he would hold a banquet in the manor, and the monarchs and ministers would enjoy together.

At the dinner, Emperor Xingyuan smiled and raised his glass frequently. Later, the majestic emperor in front of this person rarely showed a drunken state.

"Ayu."

"The minister is here."

"I'm really happy, Daxia has sweet potatoes, and how many people won't go hungry in the future. It's all thanks to you!"

After drinking, Emperor Xingyuan's words were even more sincere.

The ministers quietly exchanged glances, and after the heart said, Xin Yu's status in the emperor's heart was even more extraordinary.

Emperor Xingyuan stretched out his hand into his arms and took out an object: "I give you jade Ruyi." On that day, you returned the jade Ruyi and spared the death penalty of Changle Hou. I will give it to you again today, and I will make you a new request."

Glancing around at everyone, Emperor Xingyuan said again: "As for the merit of adding a treasure to my Great Xia, when I return to the capital, I will discuss the merits and rewards one by one!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xin Yu took the jade Ruyi.

He Qingxiao and others also stood up to thank them.

When the feast ended, it was not early, and everyone either really drank too much, or pretended to be drunk, and staggered away.

In a small courtyard, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who was being helped, entered the house and sat down, his eyes regaining clarity.

"After this, what Xin Yu does, the emperor will definitely give his full support."

"She still doesn't think she's done enough?" One person's face darkened, "I am not satisfied with the implementation of the new policy, and I have also imported sweet potatoes from overseas!"

Some people are puzzled: "This sweet potato is indeed a good thing, and it is not difficult to pick up the soil with such a high yield."

"That's bad! The common people can feed themselves on a few barren fields, so where does our land come from?"

The man was startled and understood.

"I'm afraid, she's not satisfied with sweet potatoes......

Just as these people were worried, they were summoned by Emperor Xingyuan the next day, and Xin Yu said, "Although sweet potatoes can satisfy their stomachs, they are also insufficient."

Emperor Xingyuan didn't expect Xin Yu to say this, "Oh, what's the shortcoming?"

Others will only invite credit, how can this kid Ayu be so sincere?

"Sweet potatoes are prone to flatulence if eaten too much, and they can be stored for a shorter time than rice, wheat and other grains."

Emperor Xingyuan smiled when he heard this: "Flatulence is nothing, as long as it can fill people's stomachs."

In his opinion, sweet potatoes protect the bottom line of the people, first not to starve to death, and then talk about appetite.

"It's true that the preservation time is a problem, but the people won't plant all the fields with sweet potatoes, just eat sweet potatoes first......" Emperor Xingyuan

It's a perceptive one, and he said for a moment, "Isn't there a solution to it?"

Xin Yu threw out the shortcomings of sweet potatoes, just waiting for these words: "The minister also heard my mother mention a thing, which is more suitable as a staple food than sweet potatoes."

Emperor Xingyuan immediately became interested: "What is it?"

"It's called a potato, which is less climate-intensive, has a shorter growth time, and has a higher yield than sweet potatoes......

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't sit still when he heard that the yield was higher, and hurriedly asked, "Aren't potatoes also overseas?"

"Exactly."

"Why didn't you let Zhu Liu bring it with you?"

Xin Yu sighed, "Not in one place. If you want to get potatoes, you need to go further east, to go south, you need to sail far......

Let this man see the sweet potato harvest with his own eyes, and those swinging hoes will loosen the decree of the sea ban. And to let him know that there are more treasures in the vast overseas and can bring more benefits to Great Xia, is to dig another corner of the prying place.

"Farther away...... Emperor Xingyuan knocked lightly on the table, and his heart was moved.

If there are many treasures overseas such as sweet potatoes that can solve people's livelihood, of course Daxia should have them.

He was the founder of the country, and those policies were either borrowed from the previous dynasty, or decided by listening to the advice of the ministers, and if there was a better one, of course he would not stick to it.

He set those national policies to serve Bactria and not to be bound by government decrees in turn.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Xingyuan spoke: "If you want to sail far, whether it is training a navy or building a large ship suitable for a long journey, you must not neglect it. In this way, Ayu, you can go to Guangcheng on my behalf and inspect the shipyard."

The journey from Wenxian to Guangcheng is not too far, but Emperor Xingyuan, as the king of a country, is not easy to pass, and he needs to return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with some political affairs that are inconvenient for those who stay in Beijing.

"Those who are traveling with you—" Emperor Xingyuan paused, "just let King Xiu go with you."

The corners of Xin Yu's mouth moved slightly.

This is to block her request to be with He Qingxiao.

She raised her eyes slightly, looked at Emperor Shangxing Yuan, and understood the other party's thoughts in this brief look.

This is because she is afraid that when she arrives in Guangcheng, she will run away with He Qingxiao, and she will stay with He Qingxiao to contain her.

She is a kite flying far away, and He Qingxiao is the thread in her hand. Just as she had thought, knowing her intentions, He Qingxiao became a means to manipulate her.

Xin Yu smiled in her heart.

Pushing the new deal and opening the sea ban are what her mother is looking forward to, and it is also the path she chose. Before it is realized, she will not walk with or without the thread holding her.

The personnel who went to Guangcheng were quickly decided, in addition to Xin Yu and Xiuwang, there was also a squire from the Ministry of Works, and then the guards in charge of protection.

Hearing that Xin Yu and King Xiu were going to Guangcheng, some people were happy that the emperor had begun to train King Xiu, and some people were worried about the purpose of Xin Yu's trip to Guangcheng.

The day before departure, Xin Yu and He Qingxiao went to the sweet potato field.

The fields that were once covered with green grass and vines have exposed the loess, bare and waiting for new crops. The busy farmer was also gone.

Everything in front of you is familiar and strange.
