Chapter 584: Sweet potato is here

Outside the palace, Fiji and Pang Yukun walked side by side.
The Fiji who was scolded was depressed and said: "Hey, your Highness's temper is really elusive. Am I wrong just now? Since ancient times, all dynasties have been such foreign vassals."
"Elder Fei, regardless of right or wrong, at least your Highness is wrong here, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that what your Highness said is not wrong. For example, if we treat the Three Mountain Kingdoms in the same way as before, it won’t happen. In a few days, they will definitely fall into the hands of the Japanese pirates, and once the Japanese pirates have a sufficient supply of food and grass, they will inevitably invade. At that time, our benevolence is cruel to the people of Da Yu. If you say this, your Highness will think nothing. wrong."
"There is some truth to what you say." Fiji was a little enlightened, "but the face of the country?"
"Can the face be eaten?" Pang Yukun came to Xiao Ming's words.
Fiji sighed and sighed deeply, "It seems that I have to go to Bowen College and read the book again, maybe I can understand your Highness's thoughts."
The two were talking when they suddenly saw Li Kaiyuan walking towards the palace with two people carrying a basket of things.
Pang Yukun stopped him and asked, "What is this?"
"Sweet potatoes." Li Kaiyuan wiped his sweat and said. He sent the batch of sweet potatoes as soon as they were unloaded from the merchant ship.
Pang Yukun suddenly opened his eyes, "Is this a sweet potato?"
"Yes, the Dutch merchant ship was sent to Dengzhou, and I quickly transported it back." Li Kaiyuan said, and the greeting was about to leave.
Fiji looked at the demented Pang Yukun and asked, "Pang Shoufu, why are you so excited?"
"Because this thing is more productive than potatoes." Pang Yukun's eyes filled with tears, "It seems that in the future, Dayu will not starve people to death."
"It's more productive than potatoes?" Fiji was also surprised from ear to ear. He looked at the things in the frame, but Li Kaiyuan took someone away.
Entering the palace, Li Kaiyuan directly found Xiao Ming.
"His Royal Highness, this is a sweet potato from the Dutch." Li Kaiyuan said, pointing to the sweet potato piled in the bamboo basket.
"The sweet potato is here." Xiao Mingzheng was depressed, but the moment he saw the sweet potato he was in a high mood.
"I arrived in Dengzhou three days ago, and I was sent to the shore. Your Highness, can this thing really be worth 30 stones per mu?" Li Kaiyuan was still a little disbelief.
"Of course, this can still be fake. Now that the potatoes have proven themselves, now this king will let the sweet potatoes prove themselves." Xiao Ming said happily. In his opinion, the value of sweet potatoes is higher than that of potatoes.
The preservation of potatoes is still a problem, but sweet potatoes can be cut into slices and sun-dried into dried sweet potatoes. When he was young, he often ate dried sweet potatoes. The old people at that time said that they also ate this when they were young, and even they eat sweet potato leaves. Made buns.
Li Kaiyuan nodded, "If so, with potatoes and sweet potatoes, the food problem of the closed country can be solved."
"How can it be so simple? This has to wait until it is popularized." Xiao Ming said with a smile. Sufficient food means population growth.
In the era of ocean navigation, the western population exploded, and he could not fall behind, because in his opinion, after the end of the civil war in Great Chongqing, the population will inevitably decline on a large scale, and with sufficient food, he will Can encourage fertility.
Looking at the sweet potatoes in the basket, Xiao Ming was happy but also a little greedy. He hadn't eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time. At this moment, Aster passed by outside the main hall. Xiao Ming stopped her and asked her to take the sweet potatoes. Take it to the pantry and bake it.
"Your Highness, this is the sweet potato?" Aster's eyes rolled round and round.
How can Xiao Ming not know what this girl thinks. He told them about the deliciousness of sweet potatoes on weekdays, so he said, "There are a lot of sweet potatoes. You can take a few to eat when the time comes."
"His Royal Highness." Aster said beautifully.
Li Kaiyuan was fine with the sweet potato, so he quit and left the palace.
At this time, Xiao Ming also returned to the bedroom with a smile on his face.
Fei Yueer was reading at this time, and seeing Xiao Ming so happy, Fei Yueer smiled and said, "What makes your Highness so happy."
"Li Kaiyuan sent sweet potatoes, and the Three Mountains Kingdom will soon send grain. Now the grain of the closed country will soon be harvested, and the potatoes will be harvested in autumn. In this way, the grain of the closed country will become rich." Xiao Mingyue The happier he thinks, the people take food as their heaven. With these food, he doesn't need to be afraid of anything.
Fei Yue'er was also happy for Xiao Ming when she heard this. When she first came to Qingzhou, she thought she would have a hard time, but she didn't expect Qingzhou to be more comfortable than Chang'an.
"Congratulations, Your Highness." Fei Yueer smiled.
Xiao Ming was immediately proud when he heard this, and the construction of the country was steadily proceeding, and his heart became more and more stable.
...
When the two were talking, the dining room was messed up into a pot of porridge, and the smell of roasted sweet potatoes attracted Lulu and Xiaohuan.
After learning that this was the sweet potato in Xiao Ming's mouth, the two girls suddenly became greedy, and rushed to grab it. Aster looked helpless, but she didn't bother to care because he had taken a big sweet potato in advance and giggled. After a while, she took a bite, and the sweetness and fragrance spread in her mouth. The taste was much stronger than that of boiled potatoes. At this time, the green dill and Xiaohuan also started to eat.
"His Royal Highness is really capable, so that you can get delicious things." Aster ate several mouthfuls, and then sighed contentedly.
Luluo eats the fastest. After eating the food in her mouth, she squinted her eyes with enjoyment. Then she looked at the sweet potato in Aster's hand and said unwillingly: "Sister Aster, have you finished eating such a big sweet potato? I. Help you eat together."
"You, you!" Aster gave Luluo a white look~EbookFREE.me~ and gave part of it to her, "His Royal Highness is right, you are a snack."
Luluo didn't care, she was happy to eat some.
When the sweet potatoes were roasted, they were naturally sent to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming saw the sweet potatoes on the plate. It was not so new. After all, he did not eat less of this stuff in modern times. Fei Yue'er was different. He eagerly picked up one. Stuffed into the mouth.
Xiao Ming grabbed it empty-handed and said, "Peel the skin and eat it again." As he said, he peeled off the skin of the sweet potato and gave it to Fei Yue'er.
He took it with a smile, Fei Yue'er took a light bite, chewed lightly, and said in her mouth: "Well, it's delicious!"
Xiao Ming also picked up a sweet potato and ate it. Sweet potatoes, like potatoes, are a sharp weapon to solve famine. When food is sufficient, they will not be regarded as a staple food. Potatoes are used for cooking, and sweet potatoes become a snack material. .
After eating half of the meal, Fei Yue'er felt choked. She drank a few sips of water. The first time she ate it, she felt very delicious, but sweet potatoes, like potatoes, choke when eaten dry, but I have to say, This sweet potato is really delicious.
