If some local forces can be reused, the management of the imperial court can be consolidated, and the invasion of neighboring countries can be resisted, which can greatly relieve the pressure on the central court.

Along the way, Emperor Zhou Ping has been thinking about how to reward the Liu Black Bear who contributed high-yield and improved breeds, that is, Liu Guotai, this name is good, Guotai and the people are safe, isn't it exactly what he wants?

Emperor Zhou Ping usually has a corporal Lixian, and he doesn't have much of a shelf, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Heixiong, "Cathay Pacific, hurry up, take me to see the high-yield crops, if it is true, I will have a heavy reward." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Heixiong was excited, and he was busy for so many days, isn't it just for this matter?

Liu Heixiong took Emperor Zhou Ping to the ground, "Your Majesty, it's these sweet potatoes, with high yields, and the cornfield is on the other side." ”

Emperor Zhou Ping's approach was similar to that of Song Xiang, "Measure out an acre of land, and I want to see if it is really five or six thousand catties per mu." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The officials who came over have already begun to measure, and there is no need for Liu Heixiong and others to do it, as long as they wait on the side.

There are a lot of people, and in less than a moment, all the sweet potatoes in an acre of land are harvested.

The sweet potatoes in this acre of land grow even better, up to 6,700 catties. Emperor Zhou Ping watched from the sidelines, without the slightest falsehood.

Hearing it with your own ears and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things, and it doesn't feel the same.

In particular, Emperor Zhou Ping was a pragmatic person, who had experienced the tragic situation of the common people starving all over the wilderness, and knew the importance of food to the common people.

"Good, good, good!" Emperor Zhou Ping hurriedly shouted three times loudly, looking at Liu Heixiong's eyes eagerly, "Liu Guotai, you have merit in recommending high-yield and high-quality breeds, and I have always rewarded capable people, and today is no exception."

I give you the title of Marquis of Qingfeng, can you use it to my advantage, integrate the forces of the southwest border, consolidate the military affairs of the southwest, and work with Lord Shen of Qingshan County to govern the government affairs and people of the southwest? ”

Liu Heixiong was excited, he thought it would be good to have a seven-rank official, but he didn't expect to reward the marquis as soon as he came up, and he was also responsible for managing the military affairs of the southwest.

Liu Yiyi saw that her father was excited, and hurriedly reminded, "Daddy, why don't you hurry up and thank Your Majesty?" ”

Liu Heixiong knelt on the ground again and said loudly: "The grass people are willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, and are willing to help Your Majesty create a prosperous world, and the country and the people will be safe." ”

"Good, good!" Emperor Zhou Ping looked at these high-yielding sweet potatoes excitedly, "By the way, take me to see the corn, which is high-yield and shelf-stable, and can be used as real grain." ”

He had already seen this in Shen Bingzhu's letters.

Liu Heixiong took people to see the corn field again, and under the personal supervision of Emperor Zhou Ping, he broke the corn cob of an acre of land.

Emperor Zhou Ping waved his hand, "All the sweet potatoes and corn in this acre of land are taken away and properly dried and preserved." ”

Liu Yiyi hurriedly wrote down all the precautions for preservation methods and drying, as well as planting matters, in the notebook, "Your Majesty, this is all the precautions that my mother has summarized, as long as you follow it, there is no problem at all." ”

Emperor Zhou Ping looked at the little girl not far away, her appearance was sweet and exquisite, and she had a rare elf energy, "You are the daughter of the Marquis of Qingfeng, right?" ”

Liu Yiyi pretended to be excited, "Your Majesty knows about the people's daughter? ”

"Hehe, Song Xiang said it just now." Emperor Zhou Ping took the booklet from Liu Yiyi's hand, "This is your mother's summary, and it also has great merit, I will reward your mother Sun with a first-class wife, okay?" ”

When Liu Yiyi heard this, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

"Huh?" Emperor Zhou Ping laughed, this long live, he was comfortable when he heard it, and he was in a very good mood today, "Liu Yiyi, you are very clever and intelligent, what reward do you want?" ”

Shen Bingzhu stood outside, saw Liu Yiyi's "performance", and lowered his head and chuckled. However, with his understanding of Liu Yiyi, it is estimated that he will not ask for Emperor Zhou Ping's reward.

As Shen Bingzhu guessed, after Liu Yiyi stood up, she looked at Emperor Zhou Ping, and her voice was sweet, "Sweet potatoes and corn are the credit of the people's daughter's father and mother, not the people's daughter." The women of the people have to earn credit through their own abilities. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Zhou Ping was even more curious, "How do you earn it?" ”

Liu Yiyi replied: "I like medical skills, and I work hard to learn medical skills, and when I make achievements in medical skills and medicine, I will ask Your Majesty for rewards." ”

"Haha, ambitious." Emperor Zhou Ping looked at a delicate little girl, not only was he not afraid in front of him, but he was able to calmly refuse his reward, and he wanted to earn a reward by virtue of his own ability, "Then I am waiting." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yiyi replied respectfully, maybe others thought she was talking big, but Liu Yiyi knew that she had the ability.

It was not early, and Emperor Zhou Ping left two thousand soldiers here, and led another two thousand soldiers to return to the palace with the corn and sweet potatoes harvested today.

Along the way, Emperor Zhou Ping read carefully, this small booklet is simple and clear, and you can understand it at a glance. The font on it is beautiful, clean and tidy.

Emperor Zhou Ping asked people to select small corn and sweet potatoes, and according to the recipe in the booklet, let the imperial dining room boil and roast, and made corn rib soup, sweet potato shredded and other dishes.

There are more than a dozen dishes, and the taste is quite good.

Even if it's simply boiled or grilled, it has a unique flavor. Ordinary people can eat well if they eat like this.

The next day, when the morning court was in the morning, Emperor Zhou Ping announced this matter in public, which immediately caused a shock in the court!

Emperor Zhou Ping, who was still unsatisfied, came to Lijia Village with all the courtiers.

In front of all the courtiers, and then harvest the remaining acres of ripe sweet potatoes and those acres of corn.

Under the witness of everyone, I finally realized such auspiciousness.

Emperor Zhou Ping rewarded Liu Heixiong to become the Marquis of Qingfeng, and after learning that a large number of sweet potatoes were planted in Qingfeng County, he immediately ordered Liu Heixiong to take people back and transport those high-yielding sweet potatoes that grew on the southwest border to the south with a warm climate.

The area is suffering from the disaster, and after the flood waters recedes, sweet potatoes are planted so that the affected people can get food for the winter.

Liu Heixiong entered the palace to thank him, and did not stay in the capital for too long, so he was ready to go home.

Liu Yiyi thought that it wouldn't be too difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth.

However, such a thunderous method of Emperor Zhou Ping made him believe what Shen Bingzhu once said, the emperor is eloquent, and he is diligent and loves the people, and he is not far from the peace of the country.

Time was of the essence, and more time had to be gained, so I rode back.

Xiaolan looked at the towering city wall behind her, a little regretful, "Miss, we haven't had time to visit the capital yet!" ”

Liu Yiyi whispered: "Sister Xiaolan, do you think about the uncomfortable feeling of being hungry?" ”

Xiaolan nodded, "Hunger is the most uncomfortable, I remember eating leaves when I was a child when I didn't have anything to eat, but I had to eat it in order to survive." ”
