Chapter Forty-Seven: Potato Cake
Everyone is the second monk is confused, and they don't know where Lin Hao started to say this.
Such a nonsensical style of acting, coupled with the sluggish expression of the little emperor just now, made the courtiers panic.
The little emperor won't really go back to the past, right? Today's little emperor is a little different?
But you must not go back to the past, if you go back, what should the country do?
"Get out!"
Lin Hao scolded coldly, and the emperor's domineering spirit was fully revealed.
"Yes. β
Everyone shouted in unison, and then left, extremely sad for this nonsense little emperor.
The door of the main hall was closed, and Lin Hao said secretly:
"Yes. β
Wow!
The smell of earth wafted to the nose, and the hall was filled with potatoes and tomato seedlings.
It is better to come early than to come sooner, and the entire Dawu Dynasty may not have these two things, so that the negotiation with the Marquis of Qingshan has a few more chances of winning.
His eyes were full of joy and he snapped his fingers.
Rumble!
The door to the main hall opened.
All the courtiers looked into the hall one after another, and when they saw the potato, they all looked confused.
What is this?
Where did the little emperor get it?
Is this a trick?
"These two foods are called potatoes, and they can be harvested soon after planting, and they can be used as daily food, even in wartime when military supplies are tight, the output of potatoes is enough to make the people and soldiers hungry. β
Lin Hao said unhurriedly.
"Your Majesty, is this really fake?"
Elder Qian has never heard such a thing when he is so old.
Lin Hao smiled mysteriously.
Chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, and life goes on and on.
The courtiers shook their heads again and again when they saw him look like this.
Our little emperor is stupid again, and he really can't go back now.
......
Two months later.
The imperial garden that was reclaimed and expanded by Lin Hao was green, and it was all potatoes.
Lin Hao smiled confidently, swept over the ministers holding hoes in his hands, and waved his arms:
"Let's start digging, remember to be in place, don't hurt the potatoes. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
The courtiers agreed, but looking at the green grass, there was even more disappointment in their eyes.
"Why is the little emperor confused again?"
"As soon as he encounters this mysterious potato, the little emperor is no longer himself. β
"Potato, potato, how can you be? β
Qian Lao really couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned his head to admonish, but was forced to retreat by Lin Hao's sharp gaze, and obediently picked up the hoe and dug it up one by one.
A strange and interesting picture appeared.
Lin Hao shook his fan like a farmer and watched dozens of court officials digging potatoes.
As time passed, the dull atmosphere in the Imperial Garden came alive.
"Your Majesty, this seedling has grown five potatoes!"
"What's that, I've grown ten of them!"
"Your little one, my biggest!"
Lin Hao looked at them with a fatherly smile.
After a few hours, they had finished digging, and the original 10,000 potatoes had more than tripled.
Everyone present looked at the mountain-like potatoes and were shocked, and cast admiring glances at their little emperor.
The little emperor really had a foresight!
The yield of this potato is frighteningly high.
Just don't know what it tastes like?
Lin Hao glanced at Xiao Linzi and motioned for him to bring the potato meal prepared in advance.
Xiao Linzi understood and clapped his hands gently.
A group of palace people came over, holding all kinds of dishes in their hands, and from a distance, they all seemed to be the same, a full dozen plates.
"Let's try it, how it tastes. β
Lin Hao said lightly.
The courtiers were already tired of work, and when they heard this, they were not polite, and they stepped forward to pick up chopsticks and eat.
This tastes so good, can't it be a potato?
With so many dishes, Your Majesty really has a heart.
It's delicious, I've never tasted it this before.
Crispy, oily, crystal clear, melt-in-your-mouth perfection, every bite is a surprise.
Lin Hao looked at the courtiers who were eating happily, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
These are all dishes that I have been eating potatoes for the past two months, how can they not be delicious?
"Your Majesty, what kind of dish is this, and why is it so delicious?"
Qian Lao wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and said respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I just don't know what this dish is?"
"What about this dish? Your Majesty, please tell your minister. β
All the courtiers spoke one after another, their eyes full of anticipation.
"These are potatoes. β
Lin Hao's understatement was a heavy blow in the hearts of the courtiers.
"It's a potato! It's a potato!"
"How can there be so many ways to do it in one potato?"
"This noodle turned out to be a potato too!"
All the courtiers were surprised, knelt on the ground together, and said in a loud voice:
"It's the ministers who are stupid and don't know Your Majesty's vision, please punish Your Majesty!"
"Okay, then you will be punished to take four-fifths of the potatoes out of the palace and hand them over to our people, and you must teach them how to plant them! β
Lin Hao's eyes burned.
"Your Majesty!"
The courtiers' eyes lit up, and they were eager to take them all away.
"In addition, is there anyone who is willing to send an envoy to the Marquis of Qingshan on behalf of me and bring potatoes to show the peace of our country?"
Lin Hao said again.
Hearing this, the courtiers looked at each other and were silent.
They know very well in their hearts that the Marquis of Qingshan hates them so much, no matter who goes, they will be placed in the public target, and whether they can come back safely is two words.
Just when everyone was silent, Cheng Zhou stepped forward:
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go, but as a military attachΓ©, I don't know if it's suitable or not. β
"You can't go, the black snake sent to the demon clan has been going for a while, and the demon clan should also have movement, you have to stay to deal with the demon clan, let your left deputy general go, I see that he has improved a lot of cultivation recently, and it is appropriate for him to go." β
Lin Hao already had a candidate in his heart, and when he saw Cheng Zhou speak, he just pushed the boat along the river.
"Yes. β
Cheng Zhou retreated.
The left lieutenant took a step forward:
"The minister received the order, but the minister has never been to another country, and he really doesn't know the secret, so please make it clear to Your Majesty. β
"What's the hurry, you still have half a month to practice, you don't need to be anyone, you just need to be your military attachΓ©. β
A light flashed in Lin Hao's eyes, he had already planned to envoy to the Marquis of Qingshan.
"Yes!"
The left lieutenant general smiled innocently.
At the moment when Lin Hao spoke, the courtiers seemed to feel that the majestic and decisive little emperor was back.
......
It's really strange to say, in just half a month, the word potato spread throughout the country, and even the soldiers of the Iron Gate Pass knew it.
What is even more unbelievable is that the people of Tieguan City have also planted potatoes, and the construction soldiers and people who are carrying out the south-to-north water diversion in the mountains have also eaten potatoes from the little emperor.
The word potato spread throughout the country, and of course it also spread to other countries, including the Marquis of Qingshan.
Just when they were curious about what the potatoes were, Vice General Zuo set off towards the Marquis of Qingshan with potatoes on his back, and Lin Hao, who was standing at the door of the imperial study, looked in the direction where Vice General Zuo left, and said a few words secretly.
If we do what I say, then there will be hope for trade.
