Zhu Gaochi, Yu Xin and others were stunned!

And Xu Yong and several Yan Shanwei on the side were also full of surprise.

What does this mean?

Zhu Di puffed out his eyes, stared at Guo An tightly, and said angrily: "You really stole two sweet potatoes?" ”

Guo An's expression was straight, "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't steal it!" ”

Zhu Di pointed to the two light-colored marks on the ground, and said angrily: "I didn't take it, so why are there two sweet potatoes missing?" ”

Guo An arched his hand towards Zhu Di, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Weichen takes it, it is not a steal, it's just that these Yan Shanwei didn't see it!" ”

On the side, Xu Yong couldn't help but look at the two Yan Shanwei who had been guarding here.

But when he saw it, the two Yan Shanwei were even more confused.

Not only did they not see Guo An coming over to get sweet potatoes, but they didn't even see Guo An coming to the back garden.

Zhu Gaochi's face also stiffened, "Teacher, did you eat those two sweet potatoes?" ”

Yu Xin and Tyrant Zhao were even more full of resentment, "Dingguo Gong, such a Furui grain, how can you eat it for a little appetite!" ”

"Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong has made such a big mistake, Weichen implores Your Majesty to severely punish Dingguo Gong!"

Zhu Di nodded subconsciously, with an indignant face, he hurried and hurried, but let Guo Thief succeed!

"Dingguo Gong, the two Shangshu have admonished you like this, and they want to punish you, are you guilty?"

"Wait......"

Guo An was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't know, what is Weichen's crime!" ”

Storm Zhao questioned sharply: "You stole Fury's food and ate it, isn't this a big crime?" ”

"My father-in-law took the food from his back garden, how can it be considered stealing?"

Guo An glared at Tyrant Zhao angrily, "My father would like to ask Tyrant Shangshu, how did this kind of sweet potato come from?" ”

"Self is ......"

As soon as he said two words, Tyrant Zhao froze.

"This kind of sweet potato, is it the father-in-law who ordered the people to find it from overseas barbarians, or is the father-in-law taking care of it in the back garden, planting it ripe, and it is the food in the father-in-law's house......

Even if the Tyrannical Shangshu is the official of the Ming Dynasty and the heavenly official of the Ming Dynasty, what qualifications does he have to impeach this prince because of this matter?

Don't say that you eat two pills, even if you eat these two piles, what qualifications do you have to accuse you of impeaching your father? ”

Tyrant's eyes widened and he looked angry.

"And Yu Shangshu ......"

Guo An turned his head again and looked at Yu Xin on the side, "Your household department, which is in charge of the entire Daming money bag, only cares about spending money every year, and doesn't know how to make money for Daming."

only cares about collecting taxes from the people and merchants, but they don't know how to make the people eat and how to make those merchants make more money......

If in the past few years, there has been no increase in income for your household, and you will have such a chic and wealthy household as it is now?

What qualifications do you have to come and accuse your father? ”

Yu Xin's face froze, in the past two years, his household has become richer and richer, and all the important ministers in the court have become more and more respectful when they see him, and now, it is the first time that he has encountered this situation of angrily scolding him in front of a group of people.

It's just that in the past two years, the household treasury has become increasingly rich, which is indeed due to Guo An.

Guo An looked at Zhu Di again and said: "Your Majesty, although this kind of sweet potato can yield ten stones per mu, no one has eaten it in my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Di subconsciously nodded slightly.

On the side, Yu Xin, Storm Zhao and others also nodded slowly.

Zhu Gaochi asked with a strange face: "Teacher, how do I remember, you said several times before that sweet potatoes taste strange, sweet and soft, and glutinous......"

"Huh?"

Zhu Di also remembered this, and looked at Guo An with burning eyes.

"Guo Qing, we've heard this a few times!"

Yu Xin, Bang Zhao and the others suddenly stared at Guo An with strange faces.

"Really?"

Guo An frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then slapped his head violently, with a look of remorse.

"Please also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, Weichen has been a little busy these days, and his memory is not good...... Your Majesty, would you like to taste these sweet potatoes too? ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and asked, "Haven't you already eaten?" What does it taste like? ”

"Didn't eat!"

Guo An hurriedly shook his head, "Your Majesty, Weichen hasn't eaten yet!" ”

"Haven't eaten yet?"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An tightly.

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes haven't been steamed yet, so you're here!" ”

"Are you ripe now?"

Zhu Di asked.

"This ......"

Guo An turned his head and shouted to a subordinate on the side, "Go to the back kitchen and ask the housekeeper, is the sweet potato we want ripe?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The next man, his face was already pale with fright, and he responded and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.

Guo An turned around and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, since you are here, why don't you taste another one?"

In this way, you can also know how sweet potatoes taste, and when they are promoted to the people of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty has tasted them personally, and the people will be more relieved when they hear it! ”

Zhu Di glanced at the pile of sweet potatoes on the ground and hesitated.

Guo An said again: "Your Majesty, there are so many sweet potatoes, if you want to cultivate a large number of sweet potatoes, and then hand them over to the people of the Ming Dynasty to plant, it will take at least two or three years."

Now, one less, one more, in fact, the impact will not be too big! ”

"Your Majesty,"

Hearing this, Yu Xin and Storm Zhao tightened their hearts.

Sure enough, Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"So, taste one!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Saying that, Guo An couldn't help but ask Zhu Gaochi again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to taste one?" ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't wait to nod his head.

As for Yu Xin and Storm Zhao on the side, Guo An looked at it for a while, and said righteously: "Sweet potatoes are such a kind of Furui grain, and there is only so much in the entire Ming Dynasty.

If not, let others know, and then impeach the two Shangshu, it will be the sin of this father! ”

Yu Xin: "......"

Zhao: "......"

Without waiting for the two to react, Guo An gave an order to a subordinate on the side, and then took Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others to the main hall.

……

Not long after returning to the main hall, Guo Ang dragged a plate with a sweet potato in each of the two bowls on it and walked in.

"Master, the sweet potato you explained is already ripe!"

"Good!"

Guo An's face was happy.

And the main hall, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, as well as Yu Xin and Storm Zhao and others, instantly cast their eyes tightly on the two bowls on the plate.

Guo An picked up a steamed sweet potato and broke it in half!

Peel the skin, and suddenly reveal the golden sweet potato inside.

At the same time, a fragrance that Zhu Di and others had never smelled also wafted out.

Zhu Di, Yu Xin, and Storm Zhao all subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

"Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes, Weichen doesn't know if they are poisonous or not, Weichen will try them first!"

As he spoke, Guo An blew it, and stuffed the half of the sweet potato directly into his mouth!

"Hmm......"

Hot, fragrant, sweet, that's the taste!

Guo An was burning and chewing intoxicated, but he was reluctant to swallow.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, as well as Yu Xin, Bang Zhao and others, watched so quietly.

The more I looked, the more strange my expression became.

Everyone is a glutton, and they haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they don't have a demeanor.

And this best food Dingguo Gong would be like this......

Zhu Di couldn't help it, and his face darkened directly.

"Guo Qing, this sweet potato should be non-toxic!"

Guo An swallowed it in one gulp, "It's so sweet and soft, there must be no such thing!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the half of the sweet potato in the bowl.

It's just that just stretched out his hand, and the half of the sweet potato had already reached Zhu Di's hands.

"In that case, let's taste it too!"

"Your Majesty, please...... Beware of burning! ”

Guo An hurriedly said.

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An and ate by himself.

Guo An took out the black sweet potato in another bowl, knocked it on the edge of the bowl a few times, and slowly peeled it off under the surprised eyes of everyone.

As the golden sweet potatoes inside were revealed, a sweet fragrance that was several times richer than just now wafted out.

"Gollum ......"

Zhu Gaochi, Yu Xin, and Zhao Zhao, who hadn't eaten much in the morning, suddenly felt extremely hungry in their stomachs, and stared at the baked sweet potatoes in Guo An's hands with their eyes.

Guo An directly handed half of it to Zhu Gaochi, "Your Highness, you can taste it too!" ”

After saying that, he had already eaten by himself.

Regarding the black skin on the outside of the sweet potato, Zhu Gaochi was still a little hesitant, and he didn't find a place to put his mouth for a long time.

Then.

Zhu Di had already finished eating the sweet potato in his hand, licked his lips with some unfinished feelings, and looked at Zhu Gaochi's movements, stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he stretched out his left hand.

"Chi'er, you don't know how to eat this sweet potato?"

"Daddy......"

Zhu Gaochi was a little embarrassed.

"Take it, let's teach you!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhu Gaochi was very obedient and handed the sweet potato in his hand to Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di took it, he said: "Chi'er, this kind of sweet potato has a charred black skin, because it is blackened by barbecue."

Don't be dirty, peel off the shell and eat it directly! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di opened his big mouth, and when he took a bite, the half of the sweet potato all entered Zhu Di's mouth.

"Hiss......"

Zhu Di couldn't help but inhale a few times, his face full of enjoyment.

"Sure enough, this sweet potato is delicious, whether it is steamed or baked, the taste is amazing!"

"Daddy......"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

It's his sweet potato!

"Ah......h

Zhu Di looked surprised, looked at the sweet potato that had been eaten in his hand, and smiled, "Why did you finish eating?" …… It's okay, there are still two sweet potatoes in the back kitchen, and when they are cooked, you can eat them again! ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

On the side, Yu Xin and Storm Zhao were also dumbfounded.

This sweet potato, how ...... make Your Majesty look like this? Is it really that delicious?

"Why don't you go and bring water and let Your Majesty clean your hands?"

Guo An commanded towards Guo Ang.

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Ang hurriedly ran out.

After a while, he took a basin of water and put it in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's comfortable purified water, Guo An couldn't help but glared at Guo Ang, he didn't have any eyesight!

When Zhu Di was finished, he also stretched out his hand and washed it.

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere is still extremely strange.

In addition to Zhu Di and Guo An, Zhu Gaochi, Yu Xin, and Violent Zhao all looked at Guo An and Zhu Di in a daze.

After wiping his hands, Guo An also looked at Zhu Di.

“……”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, glanced at Guo An, and then said: "This sweet potato not only has a very high yield per mu, but also has a sweet and beautiful taste, which is the food of my Daming Furui!" ”

Zhu Gaochi, Yu Xin, Tyrant Zhao and others looked overjoyed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, God bless me Daming!"

"God bless me Daming, with this divine thing, I Daming will be able to make the people rich and the country rich, and the society will be stable!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This time, Dingguo Gong has made great contributions!" ”

Guo An chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, the people of the fleet who have worked so hard to find sweet potatoes, corn and other auspicious grains this time have made even greater contributions!" ”

"Guo Qing rest assured, those who have made meritorious contributions to my Ming Dynasty will be rewarded accordingly!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

This time, Yu Xin and Storm Zhao were not rumored to object.

Sweet potatoes are worthy of reward, even if it is a group of businessmen, they should be rewarded!

Zhu Di asked again: "How is Guo Qing going to cultivate and plant these sweet potatoes?" ”

Guo An hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is going to hand over these sweet potatoes to the experimental field next to General Mountain, and they will cultivate and plant them!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

On the side, Tyrant Zhao suddenly got up and bowed to Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, sweet potatoes are related to the Daming Dynasty, the old minister asks for a performance, and I am willing to go and take charge of the cultivation of sweet potatoes!"

"Tyrant's family, this is ......"

Zhu Di was stunned.

On the side, Yu Xin and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be surprised.

Guo An's brows furrowed, how did he feel, this old man was a little aimed at him!

Sure enough, Storm Zhao glanced at Guo An and continued to report to Zhu Diyu: "Your Majesty, Weichen is old, and the affairs of the officials are already a little inadequate. It just so happens that sweet potatoes are related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people in my Daming Dynasty, and they are the root of my Daming society.

Cultivating sweet potatoes is the most important thing, and there should be no accidents.

Although Weichen is old, he still has some spare energy to take care of this matter.

Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to be sympathetic to the old minister, and let the old minister make the last contribution for my Daming! ”

Guo An's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "Is this a tyrannical book?" ”

Storm Zhao said gently: "Dingguo Gong misunderstood, the old man has no such intention!" ”

Dare to steal sweet potatoes by yourself, who dares to believe that you will not steal by yourself?

Not to mention Yu Xin and Violent Zhao, even Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi are a little unbelieving in Guo An.

Zhu Di was a little moved, but as a secretary of the ministry, if he was so sudden, the impact would be too great.

"This matter is very high, and we will discuss it later!"

"The old minister obeys!"

Tyrant Zhao didn't continue to insist on it.

Although the crown prince and Guo An have returned, the matter of Songjiang Mansion is not over.

At this meeting, there are more than a dozen officials of the imperial history and the ministry, who are checking the surrounding state capitals of Songjiang Mansion one by one.

For example, next to Songjiang Mansion, the officials and gentry of Suzhou Mansion who dared to extort money from the prince's caravan!

These bastards are really daring!

Anyone who dares to go up and extort some money deserves to be investigated!

"Master, those two sweet potatoes are also ripe!"

At this time, Guo Ang heard the report of his subordinates, so he hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"Cooked?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up.

Zhu Di said directly: "Quickly bring it up!" ”

"Go!"

Guo An also said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo Ang hurriedly went down.

A moment later.

Two steamed sweet potatoes were served.

This time, Zhu Di was still not polite, picked up one directly, and ate it directly.

On the side, Zhu Gaochi looked aggrieved again.

Guo An sighed softly, and could only break the sweet potato in his hand in half again and hand it to Zhu Gaochi in half.

This time, Zhu Gaochi did not hesitate at all, and ate directly.

On the side, Yu Xin and Storm Zhao looked at Guo An and Zhu Di like this.

"Your Majesty, sweet potatoes are really so sweet?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the taste of sweet potatoes...... Can you let the old minister taste it! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but take a few bites.

It's just that the more I eat, the hotter it gets, so I have to stop.

glanced at Yu Xin and Storm Zhao, and then glanced at the small half of the sweet potato left in his hand, and then handed it to Yu Xin with some reluctance.

"Whoa!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Xin hurriedly took it, and he didn't dislike it, so he took a bite directly.

Suddenly, the whole person directly stiffened in place, and his eyes widened.

Seeing this, the violent Zhao on the side couldn't bear it, and took it away, and it was also a mouthful.

Exceptional deliciousness!

Storm Zhao's face was full of excitement, but looking at the sweet potato in his hand, which had only a thin layer left, he couldn't help but regret it.

Just now in the back garden, you shouldn't be reserved, and you should ask Your Majesty for a sweet potato and taste it.

And not now......

In Daming, sweets are also a very scarce food for officials and elites.

And sweet potatoes, this kind of fragrant, sweet, soft and delicious food, is more suitable for old people like Bang Zhao and Yu Xin, who are old and not very good at teeth.

Therefore.

The regret in the hearts of Yu Xin and Tyrant Zhao had long made them forget how they wanted to maintain sweet potatoes, the food of Furui, and not be stolen by Guo An.

And at this time, Zhu Gaochi finally finished eating the half of the sweet potato in his hand, and his face was full of unfinished food.

"Father, teacher, this sweet potato is really delicious, in less than two years, my Ming people, everyone can eat such a delicious thing, it is really a great blessing for my Ming Dynasty!"

Yu Xin and Bang Zhao regretted it even more.

"Your Majesty, this kind of Furui grain should be cultivated as soon as possible, so that all the people in the world can eat it!"

"Your Majesty, the tyrant is justified!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then looked at Guo An.

"The sweet potato was ordered by Guo Qing to be recovered, and Guo Qing is also the most familiar with it, so this matter will be handed over to Guo Qing!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely cultivate sweet potato seedlings that can be planted by the people of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible!" ”

Storm Zhao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the sweet potato tastes so beautiful, Wechen is worried that someone will be tempted to eat secretly, Wechen asks Your Majesty, Wechen asks to supervise!" ”

Guo An was furious, "Is the book of tyranny alluding to my father? ”

Storm Zhao hurriedly shook his head, "Dingguo Gong misunderstood, the old man never had such intentions!" ”

"Hmph, those who cultivate sweet potatoes have never eaten sweet potatoes, how do they know that sweet potatoes are delicious?"

Saying that, Guo An looked at Storm Zhao suspiciously, "I think it's because you are addicted to the delicacy of sweet potatoes and want to steal by yourself!" ”

"How could Dingguo Gong slander the old man so much?"

Storm Zhao's face was anxious, and he said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister is definitely not such a person!" ”

Zhu Di smiled lightly, "Don't worry!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
