Chapter 626 Harvest (for General Nine)
With a clang, the official kiln blue glazed cup worth tens of taels of silver rolled to the ground.

Li Zheng put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Zhou Fei, the chief internal officer who was hunched over, in surprise: "How many stones are there?"

Manager Zhou carefully looked at the letter paper in his hand: "Report to Your Majesty, 23 stones! This is the lowest average amount of 29 stones per mu of land, and the highest is about [-] stones per mu of land!"

Li Zheng scratched his forehead with his little finger with a strange expression, took the letter paper in Zhou Fei's hand and read it carefully: "Are you sure you are talking about grains and not soil bumps?"

"It's food, a crop called sweet potato, it seems to be the food planted by Uncle Tong Yuan himself!"

Li Zheng gasped and looked at the content on the letter paper in surprise, full of disbelief: "The yield per mu is about [-] shi. Is this still food? Could it be a mistake? Sweet potatoes? Sweet potatoes? The name I seem to have seen it somewhere, help me recall the memory!"

"Your Majesty, Duke Qian seems to have mentioned the name Sweet Potato in a letter a few months ago!"

Li Zheng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly got up, went to a drawer, and took out a piece of rice paper: "Ten shi per mu, named sweet potato, delicious, good food, has been planted by Liu Xiaozi in a peasant's field in Tongyuan County, is it true or not?" Be sure to investigate carefully!"

"Is there really such a high-yielding grain?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Li Zheng was a little embarrassed. When Wen Renzheng sent this letter, he thought that the old man was old and confused. Naturally, he sneered at the sweet potatoes recorded in the letter, and didn't care at all. .

"Old Zhou!"

"The old slave is here, what orders does His Majesty have?"

"Let Mr. Li and the others re-investigate whether there is a mistake in this matter. How can there be more than [-] shi of grain per mu!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to repeat the investigation at all. Spy shadows never target indiscriminately. Since they dare to directly report the secret letter, they must have confirmed the authenticity of this matter!"

Li Zheng patted his forehead: "That's right, I was so shocked and confused, Spy Shadow never made such a small mistake, it's true!"

"Your Majesty, this is auspicious auspiciousness. The yield per mu is [-] shi, and the highest is nearly [-] shi. It can be said that it is an unprecedented auspicious auspiciousness. As long as it is planted on a large scale, any natural disasters and man-made disasters will not be terrible. Dalong will never have Baixin who starved to death." Now, overflowing treasury granaries will no longer be a dream!"

"Chacha!"

"Yes, please drink tea, Your Majesty!"

Feeling parched, Li Zheng drank a few cups of tea before he calmed down: "Prince Chuan, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are waiting outside the Meridian Gate to arrange for a carriage to go to Tongyuan County! "

"Yes, the old slave will arrange it now!"

After Manager Zhou left, the emperor looked around and took out a box from a hidden compartment behind the screen in the imperial study room, in which dozens of books were neatly stacked.

After searching for a while, he took out a book and held it in his hand. The name on the book was Liu Mingzhi.

Put the booklet on the dragon case. Li Zheng raised the ink pen and hesitated for a long time, but he still did not put the ink pen down. I’m young, what will I do if the crown prince succeeds to the throne? I’m only 20 years old! My God, the emperors of all dynasties failed to seek a good minister to rule the world, but I panicked when I got it! If I don’t seal it, I won’t be able to convince the public. "

The emperor, who had pondered for a long time, still didn't draw his pen!

Wandering around the imperial study with a vermilion pen in hand, the emperor was thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds!

A method that can convince the public without falling behind.

It is impossible not to seal it, and if it is sealed, I am afraid that it will not be sealed in the future. That will inevitably cause a gap between Liu Mingzhi and the new emperor!
"Father, are you there? Can Yan'er come in?"

"Wait a moment!"

The emperor packed the book and put it back to its original place, and sat on the dragon chair: "Yan'er, come in!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Zheng smiled and looked at the third princess who came in bouncing around: "My dear daughter, what is so happy about it? Did you pick up the money?"

The third princess smiled and took out a letter from her back and waved it in front of the emperor: "Father, the second sister wrote a letter to my mother, and she has a baby again. The mother asked Yan'er to send it to you!"

Li Zheng took over the letter with a happy face and began to read it. After a while, he put down the letter in his hand and sighed: "I don't know what happened to Ran'er, I can't stay in the princess mansion, so I have to go to Northern Xinjiang to follow Wanjie." Hard days, why bother!"

"Father, you can't be jealous, right? It's good for your own daughter and son-in-law to act like a wife and follow your daughter. Wu Guogong wrote so many times to let the second sister come back from northern Xinjiang. You are the one who wants to lose face. Now It's better to blame my brother-in-law!"

Li Zheng's face was a little uneasy: "It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, how can I marry someone in the future? After the new year, I will be eighteen, so it should be." The emperor stared at the three princesses in a daze and suddenly muttered!

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"It's nothing, father is going out of the palace to do something, you should go back first!"

The three princesses' nimble eyeballs were flickering, and they held the emperor's palm tightly and let go: "Father."

The emperor sighed helplessly and looked at the three princesses lovingly: "All right, all right, go change your clothes, father is waiting for you outside the Meridian Gate!"

"Father is so kind, you must wait for me!"

The emperor looked at the back of the three princesses with flickering eyes: "There have only been two cases of princesses being equal wives since the founding of the country by Dalong in the [-] years, so I have to make another case?
"Your Majesty, the carriage is ready, it's time for Your Majesty to change!"

Li Zheng came back to his senses and looked at the casual clothes in Manager Zhou's hands and sighed: "When I return from Tongyuan County, the family heir Fu Zongzheng will enter the palace to have an audience!"

"Yes, the old slave remembers!"

After half a stick of incense, five luxurious carriages slowly drove towards Tongyuan County!
"Be careful, don't bruise the sweet potatoes with the hoe or plow, otherwise they will go bad after a long time!"

Like a little landowner woman, Ying'er directs the villagers in Dashi Village, Tongyuan County to carefully harvest sweet potatoes.

Instead of being angry, these old farmers nodded from time to time, there is no way, although everyone present is old farmers, but when it comes to planting sweet potatoes and harvesting sweet potatoes, they really can't compare with Yinger, a little girl.

There is no way, although Yinger is young, her experience in planting sweet potatoes is beyond their reach. Who told her that little Yinger has already harvested two stubbles of sweet potatoes.

What to pay attention to, how to be careful Yinger is the contemporary expert of Dalong Dynasty!

Liu Song wiped the sweat from his brow: "Sister Ying'er weighed 28 stones in total. This mu of land has a good harvest. Although it is not the highest, it is top-notch!"

Ying'er fanned: "That's good, try to harvest the sweet potatoes on the remaining seven acres of land, the young master said that the sweet potatoes will become unpalatable after the frost! Now it's not time to harvest, but in order not to let Sweet potatoes have been beaten by frost and can only be harvested in advance!"

"I listened to Sister Ying'er, the young master explained it!"

Ying'er looked at the sweet potato in her hand with a painful look in her bright eyes: "Oh, it will be bigger after a while, but time waits for no one!"

"Little girl, isn't 28 shi the best harvest time?"
