Zhu Youxiao took a diced purple potato, and Wei Zhongxian took a diced sweet potato.

The two of them ate crunchy, Huang Xiao smiled, and also took one for Yueniang, and took a white potato for himself.

"Sweet and crisp, is this a fruit?" Zhu Youxiao ate one of everything, and then he couldn't get enough of it.

Huang Xiao laughed and said, "Big brother, this is not a fruit, this is the grain of the Americas I just told you!" This is the sweet potato! ”

Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian and Yueniang, the three of them were all surprised!

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked, "This is sweet potato?" Didn't Brother Xian just say ......"

Huang Xiaodao: "Although the Americas are thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, this sweet potato has already been introduced to the Ming Dynasty, but, alas, the new crops are not accepted, and there are not many plants in the Ming Dynasty!" During the Wanli period, Chen Zhenlong, a righteous man from Fujian, took the risk and secretly brought back seeds from Luzon!

At that time, Chen Zhenlong saw Westerners planting this kind of sweet potato with great yield in Luzon, because he wanted to bring this sweet potato back to the Ming Dynasty, but the Westerners controlled the sweet potato very strictly, Chen Zhenlong secretly mixed the vines of the sweet potato in the rope, and finally brought it back after a lot of hardship......"

Zhu Youxiao was surprised and delighted, and praised: "What a righteous man!" There are countless living people for such feats! ”

Huang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes!" This sweet potato is planted in Fujian, which has played a great role in alleviating the local famine, the younger brother traveled abroad, and saw this sweet potato in Fujian, so he also collected some, and everyone just ate it was I brought it back! ”

Zhu Youxiao was surprised: "This ...... Are they all made from sweet potatoes? ”

Huang Xiao nodded and said: "This sweet potato can be eaten raw, it can also be made into cakes, it can also be roasted and eaten with fire, the taste is also very beautiful, and it can also be made into vermicelli, so the storage time is longer!" It can also be mixed with rice to cook rice and porridge, which is extremely satisfying! Moreover, its stems and leaves are edible, and can also be used for breeding feed, which can be said to be a treasure! ”

Every time Huang Xiao said a word, Zhu Youxiao and the others were shocked!

Everything I just ate was a wonderful taste, and when I heard Huang Xiao talk about it at this moment, the three of them were still surprised!

After Huang Xiao finished speaking, several people were shocked.

Huang Xiao smiled, "And this sweet potato does not have high requirements for land, even if the land is barren, it can be planted, and it can be planted in the front yard and behind the house!" It's also very easy to grow, the sweet potatoes are cut into cubes according to the buds and buried in the soil! Its vines can also be planted as seedlings! The yield per mu is as high as 10,000 catties! ”

"10,000 catties per mu! Virtuous brother! True...... 10,000 catties per mu? ”

Zhu Youxiao stood up in shock!

Wei Zhongxian and Yueniang were also speechless in shock.

Huang Xiao nodded and said, "Of course!" Even if there are no 10,000 catties, there are seven or eight thousand catties! 10,000 catties of this need fertilizer and careful care! ”

Zhu Youxiao excitedly picked up a sweet potato in the porcelain plate, as if looking at a stunning beauty, and muttered: "The yield per mu is seven or eight thousand catties, and that is also fifty stones!" My Ming Ming yield of one mu and two stones, this has increased by more than 20 times! Ha ha! What a treasure! Baby! ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Yes, if I plant a large number of sweet potatoes in the Ming Dynasty, the famine will definitely become invisible!" ”

Yueniang was also extremely touched and said: "This Mr. Chen is really for the country and the people!" If we had had had this, we might not have fled the wilderness......"

"Brother Xian, this sweet potato, I must promote the world! Let my people never go hungry again! Zhu Youxiao said loudly.

Huang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I plan to promote a large number of planting in Dahuangzhuang!" Don't you dare to try, let's come! Let's make this sweet potato not only grow in large quantities, but also become an important economic income, so that more people can be driven to plant!

For example, after planting, we will open a workshop to produce vermicelli, and the price of vermicelli is twice as cheap as noodles, so there are naturally many people who buy it!

Even if it is twice as cheap, with the yield of sweet potatoes, that can increase the income of the cooperative! We can also encourage villagers to go out and set up roasted sweet potato stalls...... In this way, the villagers of the cooperative have gained income and improved their quality of life!

And those who buy sweet potatoes only need to pay very little money while enjoying the delicious food! More importantly, this will have a demonstration effect, everyone sees that this sweet potato is not only delicious, but also has a good income, and when the time comes, the promotion will be a matter of course! ”

The more Zhu Youxiao listened, the more excited he became, and praised: "Brother Xian is really a good plan!" Ha ha! That's it! Count them all in one fell swoop! ”

Huang Xiao smiled slightly, and Zhu Youxiao said: "I tasted the delicious sweet potatoes today, and I really look forward to the corn and potatoes that the virtuous brother said!" ”

Huang Xiaodao: "When Lao Wei goes to the Americas, he can bring it back, and the yield of these two crops is also thousands of catties per mu, and there are many ways to eat them!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, his eyes were full of admiration, and said, "That America is really a beautiful state!" Don't talk about gold and silver, just talk about these kinds of crops, it's really a godsend! If it can be obtained by my Ming Dynasty, the land annexation mentioned by the virtuous brother will naturally be greatly alleviated! This America, I am bound to win! ”

Huang Xiao sighed: "Isn't it? In fact, the world is very big! Let's come step by step, when Yang Fan can go to sea, more surprises are waiting for us to explore! ”

He didn't go on to say other continentals, such as Australia...... There's no need for the time being, let's draw the biggest and most delicious cake first!

Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian left with excitement.

Back in Qianqing Palace, the two were still excited.

"Emperor! Today's slave is really an eye-opener! Mr. Huang is really talented! Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao said proudly: "If it weren't for such talents, how could you bow down with me!" Companion, I am now going to concentrate on the development of the steam engine, and you should take care of the affairs of the court first, those deceitful and deceitful people, compared to today's plan, it is really not worth mentioning! I hope that the best thing in the court is a gentle drizzle. ”

Wei Zhongxian's heart froze, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured!" The ministers will do their best for Your Majesty! I will not let the affairs of the court affect His Majesty's great cause! ”

"Good! So I'm relieved! ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Companion, I personally promised you at the virtuous brother today, you have to look farther!" The first eunuch of the Ming Dynasty was crowned king, and I hope it will fall on Daban! Do you see what I mean? ”

Wei Zhongxian knelt down and said, "The emperor's kindness to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are hard to repay!" The slave knows what to do! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "I plan to go back and praise Chen Zhenlong's righteous warriors, and be named an earl!" Establish a meritorious shrine in Fujian! ”

Wei Zhongxian took the order.

In history, it was not until the 14th year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty (1834) that He Zexian, a native of Fuzhou, built the "Xianshu Temple" in Wushi Mountain, and Chen Zhenlong's deeds were widely spread, and the later temple was abolished. The existing "Xianshu Pavilion" was built in 1957.

Now because of Huang Xiao's arrival, Chen Zhenlong is not only a feudal uncle, but also a Ming Dynasty!

Among the Hou Mansions.

Hou Du knelt on one knee, Hou Guoxing sat and took a sip of wine, and said with a gloomy face: "You said that Your Majesty and Wei Zhongxian have been at Huang Xiao's house for two nights?" ”

Hou Du said: "Yes! The villain has been spying outside, and just now His Majesty and Grandpa Wei left, the villain immediately came to report to the adult! ”

Hou Guoxing paced back and forth indoors, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not appropriate to act rashly today, and wait for another day or two, how did Wei Zhongxian go?" Well, have you gathered all the manpower? ”

Hou Du said: "It's all arranged!" The villain didn't tell what he was going to do, and they wouldn't know that the adult was the master behind it! ”

Hou Guoxing nodded and said, "You did this very well!" Get up, you are also a branch of my Hou Mansion, and when I have a big event in the future, your benefits are indispensable, you can step down! Keep an eye on tomorrow and if you get the chance, you go according to your plan! Don't tell me again! Houdu, you have always been my right-hand man, and I hope you can continue to assist me in the future, understand? ”

Hou Du got up and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the villain has been arranged!" Whether it succeeds or fails, it will never expose the villain, let alone affect the adult! ”

Hou Guoxing smiled slightly and said, "Okay, very good!" Go ahead! ”
