Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Qin Ji!"

"The villain is here!"

Qin Ji replied respectfully.

His hands are rough and his face is rough. But it is precisely because of this pair of hard-working hands that sweet potatoes are now available.

Qin Ji has made a great contribution!

Zhang Xiu said: "I set up a garrison station to be responsible for planting sweet potatoes. You are in charge of sweet potato planting. Besides, I give you the title of Marquis of Guangyang Pavilion. I hope you will live up to your high expectations. "

"Thank you, your highness."

Qin Ji was very excited.

He knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Xiu.

He was a farmer. Unexpectedly, he became a garrison captain and a knighthood. Although this is the most basic Marquis of the pavilion, far less than the Marquis of the countryside and county, it is good to be a Marquis of the pavilion.

Qin Ji's face was full of excitement.

Zhang Xiu said, "get up!"

"Thank you, your highness."

Qin Ji trembled and stood up, slightly unaccustomed. After all, he is an ordinary people, and he will plant things a little bit. He suddenly becomes the Marquis of the pavilion and becomes an official. He has some weakness and maladjustment at his feet.

Looking around at the rest of the people, Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "all the other Yiying farmers who participated in the planting were rewarded and included in the farm. The establishment of Yiying's official posts is being arranged by the law. "

"Here it is

Fazheng bows his hand and responds.

It's not difficult. On the contrary, it's very simple.

Zhang Xiu once again said: "Hanchang County left a thousand catties of sweet potato, with which to raise seedlings and carry out large-scale planting. The planting season of sweet potato is March and April, and it happens that it can be planted now. Although it's a new species, when people see the sweet potato harvest in the second half of the year, they will plant it. "

"I understand

Fazheng nodded.

Because after all the sweet potatoes are moved out of the greenhouse, the growth rate will be much slower, but it is enough for large-scale planting. After all, more than 1000 Jin of sweet potatoes are left in Hanchang county.

Zhang Xiu looked at Fazheng and asked, "how are the other things going?"

Fazheng said: "report to your highness, everything is going well. Whether it's coal or stone, or vegetables in winter, everything else should go smoothly. "

Zhang Xiu said: "I look forward to your success!"

FA Zhengdao: "I will live up to your Highness's high expectations."

Instead of staying more in Hanchang County, Zhang Xiu took sweet potatoes and a dozen people who could grow sweet potatoes and went north to Chang'an. Because there are 1000 catties of sweet potatoes in the carriage, bags of sweet potatoes in the carriage, the speed is much slower.

When we return to Chang'an, it is already early April.

It's already warm.

When Zhang Xiu returned to the palace of King Qin, he ordered all the sweet potatoes to be put into the basket, and then he took some sweet potatoes and cooked them. Then, the six ministers under Zhang Xiu's command, as well as the rest of the civil servants, including the generals in Chang'an, all ordered to be summoned.

All the people under Zhang Xiu's command know about sweet potato, and they also know that Zhang Xiu went to Bajun just for sweet potato. After they entered one by one, they saw the sweet potatoes in the basket. They were both curious and shocked.

The sweet potatoes in front of us are huge. But they didn't know whether it was delicious or the specific harvest.

Jia Xu looked at Li Ru and asked, "Wenyou, what's the situation with this sweet potato?"

Li Ru didn't say it directly, but said with a smile: "don't worry for the time being, let me sell a pass. When your highness arrives, he will tell you in person that I won't do anything for him. "

The rest of the people are even more itchy.

They all went up and had a look, but they didn't understand.

After a long time, everyone is here.

At this time, Zhang Xiu entered the hall and sat down. She said with a smile, "sweet potatoes are in the hall. I think you've all seen them. Now, let's not talk about the sweet potato. Let's talk about it after eating it. "

"Somebody, bring it in!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

In an instant, there were attendants coming in. One by one, with a bowl of sweet potato soup, the attendants came to everyone and put down the dishes. This sweet potato soup is the clear soup made from sweet potato.

In each bowl, there are several sweet potatoes.

On the way back, Li Ru and Sima Yi both ate some sweet potatoes and never tire of them. Now, when I see sweet potato soup, I also pick up chopsticks and swallow it quickly.

The two people's gluttonous appearance made the rest of the people's tongue move.

Jia Xu is getting older. When he eats a mouthful of sweet potato, he feels very comfortable. He took another sip of the soup. Although it was clear soup, it had the unique fragrance of sweet potato and the sweet taste of sweet potato.

It's memorable.

Sweet potato is the best food for the elderly. It's not only delicious but also easy to digest. It's more beneficial to the stomach and intestines. It's the best food.

The rest, too, keep eating.

After everyone had finished eating, Zhang Xiu asked, "how are you, gentlemen?""Wonderful, wonderful!"

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said with admiration, "Your Highness, for an old man like me with poor teeth, sweet potato is just a delicacy."

"Old age, loose teeth, drop almost, a little hard, or a little difficult to chew the bread, eat very uncomfortable, just feel tummy tummy."

"This bowl of sweet potato soup is very comfortable for the whole person."

Jia Xu said: "especially in the stomach, it's warm."

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "in fact, sweet potato is an excellent food for the elderly."

Jia Xu asked: "Your Highness, how is the sweet potato harvest?"

Zhang xiudao said: "less than half an mu of land, we have harvested more than 2300 Jin. After conversion, the yield of one mu of land can reach 5000 Jin. Wang's previous estimation is correct. In particular, sweet potato is very easy to promote cultivation. I took 1000 Jin of sweet potato back from Bajun. Next, all seedlings are planted. By the end of this year, we will be able to harvest countless sweet potatoes. "

"Will it be promoted immediately?" asked Liu ba

"No!"

Zhang Xiu shakes her head.

With a wise look in his eyes, he said: "in today's situation, it will not be extended to the people for the time being. I brought someone who was good at planting to guide me. This time, all the plants were planted in the official fields, and the people were not allowed to plant them. By the end of the year, the people will see the sweet potato harvest. We don't need to promote it. The people will want to plant it. "

"Your Highness is wise!"

Xu Shu nodded and agreed with Zhang Xiu.

People can't believe in propaganda without understanding it. When countless people witness the miracle of sweet potato, they will believe and even plant it on a large scale.

People are all for good and avoid evil, and they are all for profit.

Zhang Xiu said about sweet potato again, but she didn't say much. Then he arranged for all the sweet potatoes to be brought down for planting.

There are numerous official fields in Chang'an, which can ensure the smooth planting of sweet potato.

At this time, a servant came out of the hall and reported: "Your Highness, there is a man named Lin Yong outside the palace. He asked to see Mr. Liu Ba and said that there was something urgent to see him. "

"Let him in!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

"Here it is

I'll inform you immediately.
