The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 311
Unexpectedly, the system that always likes to play dead will answer the host's question generously this time:
[Helping the Li family is a transaction between the system and the host, and it must be completed, while other benevolent behaviors are out of the host's heart.

Therefore, the reward value obtained is naturally different. 】

The facts are actually in line with what Fang Qingqing guessed:

[So, Tongzi, when you bound me back then, the biggest purpose was not to help me but to save the Li family?
Why, in this case, you can directly select the Li family to bind, why do you have to complete the task through me? 】

When asked again, the system began to avoid answering and pretended to be dead.

Fang Qingqing is not in a hurry, little by little, sooner or later she will find the right answer.

For now, one thing is certain, the original origin of this so-called koi system is absolutely inseparable from the Li clan.

And at this time, a miraculous thing happened in Huangzhuang.

Didn't Li Xueshi donate potato seeds back then?

Uh, although His Majesty the Emperor knew that Lord Li's wife had the knowledge and ability to discover the seeds of this high-yield crop, but only Emperor Hongwen and his confidants knew this.

Externally, this seed was of course discovered and presented by Mr. Li.

According to the records, the seeds should be sown in autumn and harvested in the spring of the following year, but the people in Huangzhuang know that this is a fetish——

This is also the statement given by Emperor Hongwen. It looks like a small piece, but it has various cooking methods.

The cooked food is very delicious, and the most important thing is that the high yield can feed more people.

How is it not a fetish given to them by God?
It is because of His Majesty's emphasis on words that the people of Huangzhuang worked very hard to guard after planting potato seeds.

Such as weeding, fertilizing, etc., the stewards are all hands-on.

Even, he knew that today he was anxious to see the results and had a whim.

If this thing called potatoes can be harvested after the warm weather in spring, will it grow faster if it is kept warm during the planting process?
In this way, the management can be regarded as painstaking, and it is really successful for him unexpectedly!
It is not a large area either, he just followed the method presented by Mr. Li, and the rest was sown normally.

On the most fertile piece of land in Huangzhuang, the steward himself took care of it to create an environment similar to the function of a greenhouse, so the potatoes planted in just over three months before the Chinese New Year were harvested ahead of schedule?

(Uh, this is due to the needs of the plot, which may be different from the actual production environment. Please don’t worry about it, the novel’s recreational reading is not a technical report, so there is no need to be so serious.)
The person in charge only reported the situation, and Emperor Hongwen was very excited, and immediately summoned the main officials of the six ministries and Li Xiuping to discuss matters in front of the imperial court.

In fact, on the one hand, it was because Emperor Hongwen was really excited. If the potatoes were really planted successfully, it would be a great event that would benefit the country and the people forever.

And this happened when he was in office, imagining the praise of future generations, Emperor Hongwen would wake up laughing from his dream.

On the other hand, it is because of being careful and on the safe side.

After Li Xiuping first presented the potato seeds and the planting plan, Emperor Hongwen was excited and joyful, but he still had doubts in his heart.

Emperor Hongwen was considered a good emperor, and he worked hard every day, but he was in a high position and used special means to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, all the shortcomings of ordinary high-ranking people are also many today.

Although the emperor treats his courtiers with kindness and tolerance, he is also very suspicious.

After calming down, Emperor Hongwen began to doubt whether what Li Xiuping said was true.

Although Emperor Hongwen recognized intellectually that it was impossible for Li Xiuping, who had studied hard all his life to get to where he is now, to risk such a lie, but he also had a small hidden worry in his heart.

So he sent people to Huangzhuang to plant potatoes in order to test whether the crop was really as high-yield as the minister said.

However, this operation was carried out in secret, and even in order to prevent leaks, the manager of Huangzhuang and other servants were ordered not to take a step outside Huangzhuang for six months.

After getting the exact news from the steward, Emperor Hongwen simply summoned his confidant ministers and Li Xiuping who was involved, and planned to go out of the palace to have an inspection in person.

So under the protection of the guards, the emperor led some important officials directly to Huangzhuang in the suburbs, intending to see the so-called planted potatoes in person.

When they arrived at their destination, what they saw were the withered and yellowed vines in the land.

Originally, Emperor Hongwen was a little unhappy. Since this is a high-yielding fetish, why did the steward not take care of it so that the vines turned yellow?
"Your Majesty, you have to wait until the vines turn yellow to be considered mature." Li Xiuping stepped forward to answer.

The steward glanced at Master Li gratefully, and then stepped forward to report carefully: "Return to Your Majesty, after I got the potato seeds, I carefully cultivated them, whether it is sowing or fertilizing the land, I did it myself.

Indeed, as Master Li said, it is said that the potatoes can only be dug up after the flowers wither and the vines turn yellow. "

Afterwards, Li Xiuping didn't want to grab credit, and the steward stepped back with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, but it was Emperor Hongwen who was very interested and planned to pick it himself.

Emperor Hongwen stepped forward, grabbed the vine and pulled it hard, but only half of it came out.

It's not that the emperor's arms are not strong enough, Li Xiuping stepped forward and explained that the potato crops are all buried in the soil and there are quite a few.

So he simply took a small rake to pull away the clods of soil. When Emperor Hongwen dug out a fist-sized potato with his own hands, the surrounding ministers also swarmed up.

Everyone looked excited, especially our emperor, his eyes were red.

Before, I just listened to Li Xueshi's report, after all, what I heard was nothing, but he sent someone to plant it himself, and the whole process was closely monitored.

In other words, there is absolutely no possibility of cheating!
And those close ministers of the emperor, who had a good relationship with the emperor, now rolled up their sleeves regardless of the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers.

Usually, those hands are used to make beautiful articles, but now they are so roughly inserted into the soil and dug up frantically.

Li Xiuping watched from the side, feeling a little hurt to his eyes, and had to admire his daughter-in-law's brilliance and foresight.

Even if he is just a high-minded, non-productive scholar, he also knows the importance of food to the people of the world.

At home, my father and elder brother both said that they almost cried when they planted this potato in the fields in the countryside.

They are all people who have come through hard times, and they know too well what high production means to ordinary people.
