"The yield of sweet potatoes can reach 1,000 kilograms per mu, and if it is promoted in my Shengguo, I will no longer have to worry about food in the future."

"Da Si Nong, this is just a one-sided statement by the people of the Sea Kingdom, and it is too arbitrary to draw conclusions without investigation, right?"

"Who says the officer didn't investigate? Long before the envoys of the Sea Kingdom sent sweet potatoes, this official had seen records about sweet potatoes in some records. ”

It's just that in those records, sweet potatoes are grown in more distant Fanbang, and that's how "Fan" came from.

Although there is a discrepancy between the origin of sweet potatoes and the book record, he does not think it is a big deal.

As long as this thing is non-toxic, can satisfy the stomach, and the yield is really not low, what does it matter if there is a difference in the name?

The opposition sneered: "Da Si Nong is really well-informed and well-read, and any anecdotes can be used as evidence." Even if sweet potatoes really have a good yield in Haiguo, it does not mean that it also has such a high yield in China. ”

The yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu is indeed quite a terrifying number.

You must know that in the most favorable areas of Shengguo, the yield of rice is only three or four hundred catties per mu.

In areas where the output is not good, it is possible to reduce it to two or three hundred catties, and even more miserably to one or two hundred catties.

One thousand kilograms compared to three or four hundred catties, the gap is too huge.

But some people are born with a hard mouth, and they belong to the kind that has a strong mouth left on the whole body after cremation.

They won't admit it.

Emperor Jianliang listened to the quarrel below and was upset.

He was actually very impressed.

Sweet potatoes with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu can greatly solve the problem of grain shortage.

But what the opposition says has a point.

What if the potatoes are not adapted to the soil and water, and the yield cannot be reached in Shengguo, or even the seeds cannot be planted at all?

Suddenly, a jade-clear voice poured into boiling water like ice water: "What's so noisy?" Choosing an area for trial planting is naturally a joy for everyone to be able to plant successfully, and it can be promoted in the future. ”

"If the sweet potato is really not adapted to the soil and water, you can die after experimenting."

Emperor Jianliang stroked his palm: "What Gu Qing said is very true, just do it!" ”

Immediately, he was a little worried: "However, where is the right choice?" ”

Since it is a trial seed, a person in charge must be elected.

Generally speaking, the governor of the prefecture/county guard is the person in charge of the place where he chooses.

A group of ministers at the bottom suddenly became quails.

Under the exaggerated influence of the opposition, and Da Si Nong himself admitted that his so-called evidence was only seen from some unauthoritative travelogues, few people wanted to believe him.

Everyone thinks that sweet potatoes will definitely be unadaptable, and this errand is a hot potato.

When the time comes, the results will not be satisfactory, and not only will they not please His Majesty, but they may also be reprimanded.

It takes effort and time.

Pay for one's whistle.

Seeing that no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to take on errands, Leng Lanzhi sighed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Erchen is willing to try."

The courtiers were all stunned, and immediately complimented: "The grain harvest of Tianhai City can rank among the top three every year, which shows that the land is fertile, and it will definitely be able to succeed in trial planting!" ”

But in my heart I was disdainful.

This Princess Jialuo, in order to take credit, really has no brains.

If the credit is so good, why don't they rush to it?

Is it because you don't want to?

No matter what everyone thought, at least Emperor Jianliang was very happy: "Okay, I'll hand it over to Jia Luo at this time." If there is anything you need, just tell the Ministry of Works, let them have the right to cooperate with you! ”

Leng Lan responded.

After returning home, Leng Lanzhi invited Dasi Nong to ask him about his understanding of sweet potatoes.

Da Si Nong is not what everyone thinks, just read a few travelogues that have not been studied and judge randomly, he has done his homework and talked with Leng Lanzhi.

The envoys of the Sea Kingdom brought only sweet potatoes, not seeds.

Based on experience, Dasi Nong speculated that the food that could be eaten by such rhizomes should be seeds in themselves, and perhaps they would be able to germinate when spring came.

Now there are dozens of catties of sweet potatoes left in the princess's mansion, which is not enough for even one acre of land.

After all, sweet potatoes are different from other seeds, if the whole sweet potato is really seeds, there are actually only hundreds of sweet potatoes in dozens of catties.

Dasi Nong voiced his concerns.

Leng Lanzhi didn't care and said: "This problem is easy to solve, this palace repairs a book, and it is enough for Tianhai City to buy a batch of sweet potatoes." ”

Da Si Nong said: "Xia Guan believes that if you want to test whether sweet potatoes really don't pick the growing environment and can't be limited to a certain place, such results are not accurate. ”

The environment of Tianhai City is very suitable for the growth of crops, and the results of Tianhai City are inaccurate.

After all, how many places can be like Tianhai City, most of the year is smooth?

Leng Lanzhi pondered for a while, and said: "This problem is easy to solve, the palace also has a manor in Shengjing, and at that time, a piece of land will also be circled in Shengjing, and the two places will start planting at the same time, and the results will be more intuitive." ”

Da Si Nong's eyes lit up: "So good! ”

After Da Si Nong left, Leng Lanzhi immediately wrote a letter and asked Li Changlin to start buying sweet potatoes.

If he could, he could also take a smug from the mouths of the merchants of Tianhai City.

After putting down the pen, she thought about it and wrote a letter to An Xuanji, telling her about Qiu Wenwen's death.

On this day, the housekeeper came to report: "Princess, the eighteenth prince has handed over an invitation and wants to invite you to visit the lake." ”

"Let's just say that this palace is unwell."

After a while, the housekeeper came again: "Princess, Princess Pingzhao handed over the post." ”

Leng Lanzhi: "......"

She can refuse the eighteenth prince, but she can't refuse Princess Pingzhao.

"Let her come tomorrow."

The next day, Princess Pingzhao came, but she didn't come by herself, and she brought the eighteen princes.

Princess Pingzhao has learned Sheng Chinese, and although she is not fluent, she can see his intentions.

"Princess Garo, are you better?" Princess Pingzhao had a humble smile on her face.

Leng Lanzhi also smiled back: "It's much better, thank you for your concern." ”

It was noon, and Leng Lanzhi saw that several people had no intention of saying goodbye, so he politely said: "It's about to be lunch, will you two stay for dinner?" ”

Princess Pingzhao showed an embarrassed expression, and after whispering to the eighteenth prince, she replied to Leng Lanzhi: "Thank you Princess Jia Luo for your hospitality." ”

"What's the taboo of the two of you?"

Princess Pingzhao's Sheng Chinese Yan was not too proficient, so she was stunned for a moment: "Don't eat...... What does that mean? ”

"Taboo means that you don't like to eat and can't eat it."

Princess Pingzhao said twice, and asked the eighteenth prince first.

The eighteenth prince smiled: "Pingzhao, you see, she has me in her heart." ”

Ping Zhao was stunned.

Leng Lanzhi: "? ”

The eighteenth prince thought that Leng Lanzhi couldn't understand, and he spoke unscrupulously: "You see how considerate she is to me!" This is the attitude that you have towards your sweetheart, and in the future, you will wait to call me a colt! ”

Leng Lanzhi's eyes were slightly cold: "In our Shengguo, if someone stays at home as a guest, it is the most basic etiquette to inquire about the other party's preferences and taboos in terms of food. ”
