Chapter 148: The Emperor Invites You to Dinner.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are 1,873 pounds and five taels."

It's a bit of a mess.

Also, if you don't engage in bits and pieces, it is really difficult to convince the public.

The surrounding people and officials were already completely boiling.

With an output of nearly two thousand catties, how is this possible?

Is this really food?

They looked at those sweet potatoes in disbelief, how could there be such a thing in this world.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, obviously still a little disappointed with this output.

The officials were even more shocked when they saw the disappointed expression on Zhu Youxiao's face.

Now it's almost two thousand catties, and His Majesty is not satisfied.

That Hui Shiyang also saw this scene, and all Zhu Youxiao's performance here today was simply a naked slap in the face.

Hui Shiyang also found so many people, and brought all the people who wrote articles in the newspaper, but all these practices were just to fuel Zhu Youxiao's troubles, just to help effectively promote this crop called sweet potato?

The people in his newspaper can hold it down, and they don't let the other person scribble, but he can hold down the people in his newspaper.

Can he hold down the people of the Suncheon Times, the people of the Suncheon Weekly?

Can he hold on to the more than 100,000 people and merchants who live there?

It's simply impossible.

The more he looked at Zhu Youxiao's expression, the more dazzling he felt.

No! He could never admit his defeat.

Hui Shiyang suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the yield of these sweet potatoes is so large, it must be very unpalatable, and it can't be eaten at all.

He insisted that there was no such thing as a crop that was both delicious and yielded so many pounds per acre.

He stood up on the spot and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, these crops called sweet potatoes have such a large yield, which is gratifying." ”

"With these sweet potatoes, I don't know how many people at dawn can be saved."

"I guess the taste of these grains is also quite good, otherwise, it will definitely not be so valued by His Majesty."

Indeed, sweet potatoes are basically ten times the output of other grains, so it means that this Ming can raise ten times more people than before.

As long as this kind of thing can be promoted in the world, then how many people can be saved by this kind of thing.

Does the problem of food shortage still exist in the whole Ming Dynasty?

I'm afraid it can't exist at all.

Especially this year, in fact, the climatic conditions in Beizhili are also very poor, the rain is poor, and the other grains have been lost, but this kind of sweet potato is not affected, which is even more incredible.

The surrounding officials were also reminded by Hui Shiyang's words, and they all looked at these sweet potatoes with complicated eyes.

These sweet potatoes are produced in large quantities, but if they can't be eaten, or if there will be any adverse reactions after eating, they are useless at all.

Zhu Youxiao also nodded, and thought that the other party would have such a move, and said: "Hui Shaoqing, I'm afraid there are still some things that have not been finished, so it is better to say them directly, I am not the kind of king who can't hear the minister's words." ”

Hui Shiyang waited for his words, and without the slightest hesitation, he continued: "Indeed, it is really gratifying that Your Majesty was able to produce such a large amount of grain. ”

"Why don't your majesty rejoice with the people, why don't you distribute sweet potatoes to the officials present to taste and see how they taste."

"If it is good, with the support of the Manchu Dynasty and the reputation of all the people present, I am afraid that this crop called sweet potato will definitely be able to be promoted more smoothly in the world."

After saying these words, Hui Shiyang looked at Zhu Youxiao respectfully.

He was very sure in his heart that Zhu Youxiao definitely didn't have the courage to dare to agree to such a statement.

Now I want to see how Zhu Youxiao got off the stage.

But Hui Shiyang definitely didn't expect that, to his surprise, Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile.

"What Hui Shaoqing said is very reasonable, and I agree with it very much."

"Whether the sweet potato is good or not, whether it can be eaten, and whether there is a problem after eating it has to be confirmed after testing."

"The people and officials are worried, and I understand it very well, so Hui Shaoqing's suggestion is indeed very timely."

"It's getting late today, and it's time for the people to go home for dinner, but I see so many people who have come here to watch for a day, and I'm embarrassed not to take care of a meal for everyone."

"In that case, then I will cover the meal of the people and officials today."

"Aren't there a lot of sweet potatoes here? Anyway, it's all dug up, so I paid for it, and if the sweet potatoes here aren't enough, it doesn't matter. ”

"I remember that I ordered 200,000 acres of sweet potatoes to be planted, and ...... here."

Zhu Youxiao showed a strange smile on his face and said: "I still have to thank the previous waves of corrupt officials who dedicated their lives, if they hadn't donated all the land of these nine clans, then I really wouldn't have been able to get my hands on the 200,000 acres of land." ”

When ordinary officials heard this, they thought what Zhu Youxiao said was very interesting, and they all laughed softly.

When the Donglin Party heard this, it was as if they were being beaten in the chest with a heavy hammer, and they only felt that they were out of breath.

Zhu Youxiao said these words, which was extremely cruel to them.

Because basically, the ministers who were killed by Zhu Youxiao before were all from their Donglin Party or some wall grass.

Hui Shiyang and the others glanced at Zhu Youxiao, gritted their teeth, and secretly cursed: "This tyrant." ”

Zhu Youxiao's words were not finished, as long as he continued: "What everyone eats tonight, that is sweet potatoes, 200,000 acres of sweet potato fields, and digging more than ten acres, is almost enough for these people to have a meal." ”

Zhu Youxiao turned his head, looked at the official in charge of Tuntian next to him, and said, "I haven't arranged for the people to continue digging sweet potatoes, and I have to invite the people to dinner tonight." ”

When the official heard this order, he hurriedly continued to give the order.

When Zhu Youxiao said that he would invite all the people present to have a dinner, the people were boiling.

Now in this world, no one has much surplus food at home, and if he can eat a meal for nothing, he will eat it for nothing, which is an absolute good thing.

It's just that Hubu Shangshu hurriedly stood up and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is absolutely impossible, now the people have gathered more than 100,000 people, and we want to invite more than 100,000 people to dinner, but we don't have so many pots and pans." ”

"I'm afraid this thing is difficult to implement, that is, if we don't remove the pots and pans from each other now, it won't be able to be transferred in a short time."
