Chapter 143 Killing the Son-in-Law (71)

A few days after Jinyan received the letter, the whole of Jiangnan knew about Xun Yu's fame at the literary fair.

And the deeds about Xun Yu are becoming more and more legendary and mysterious.

The common people just talk about it for fun, but they don't care about it.

Jin Yan was worried about the emperor on the dragon chair, wondering if he could hear such words.

Jinyan heard the answer to this question when Xun Yuxiumu returned to Lin'an.

Xun Yu said: "Our emperor does not stick to one pattern, and never believes in these ghosts, but he did ask me if I was really born to know it."

Jin Yan asked him, "How did you answer?"

Xun Yu: "I want to know it from birth, then my mother will not be killed, and it is impossible for us to reunite after being separated for more than ten years."

Jin Yan understood.

The Son of Heaven does not believe in ghosts and gods.

But for some things, the theory of ghosts and gods is easier to use than other methods, so he doesn't mind using it a few more times.

The emperor's plan is nothing but the stability of the country and the peace of the world so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

……

At the beginning of the new year, Xun Yu asked the court for leave and returned to Lin'an, and Xie Lin, who led the team on a trip alone, also returned to Xie's house.

Back with him, there is also a Xie family caravan who has been wandering overseas for three years.

They brought back corn potatoes and peppers this time.

The appearance of these things brought Jinyan a greater surprise than Xun Yu who suddenly appeared behind her in the capital.

Seeing Jin Yan who was so happy, Xun Yu suddenly thought: "This is the new crop that you told me before, with high yield, strong adaptability to the land, and can be widely planted?"

Jin Yan nodded, "That's it. It's a pity that you only brought so many back, and you have to keep them as seeds. Otherwise, let the kitchen cook a few more delicacies for you to try."

Seeing Jin Yan's love for the potatoes in his hand and his infinite regret, Xie Xi said dotingly: "It doesn't matter, it's because of you that Daddy first sent the caravan to go to sea to find these things. You can eat as much as you want."

When Jinyan was ten years old, he had a heart attack and a high fever, and he was so confused that he said a lot of things that others could hear as nonsense.

But as a father, he would never ignore a word from his daughter.

He memorized all the words such as "potatoes", "corn" and "pepper" that he heard clearly, and asked his daughter what she wanted to do with them, and the answer was "eat".

Xie Xi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He, Xie Xi, doted on his daughter and Quan Lin'an knew it.

Even the emperor in the palace said that his daughter was more delicate than the princess.

He has always brought the best things in the world to his daughter, and he is afraid that something will be a little bit unsatisfactory.

But I didn't expect my daughter to want to eat these things when she was most uncomfortable.

But when Jin Yan said it, Xie Xi would not pretend that nothing happened.

He searched all over the classics first, but couldn't find any relevant records, so he asked people to search around.

After searching for a long time, they failed to find these things from Daxi's land, so they sent caravans out of the fortress, out to sea, and down to Nanyang to search for them from all the places where there were people.

Finally, the emperor pays off.

He finally held these things in front of his daughter.

After Xie Xi opened his mouth, Xie Lin also said: "'Not many' is their humble resignation. The others are still on the ship and cannot be unloaded for a while, so we can only show these to the owner. In fact, after knowing that the yield of these crops is very high , they exchanged many silk brocades and silverware with the locals, and brought back as much food as possible.”

"How much is that?" Jin Yan asked.

Her eyes were bright, and she was happier than having won some priceless treasure.

Xie Lin looked at it, felt weak, and said: "They are afraid of arousing suspicion, so they exchange them in batches and with different people, and they will disguise themselves every time, and the seeds exchanged after the gold is scattered are always worth a few thousand catties. Yes, even if you let go and eat, the rest is enough for planting.”

Jin Yan finally let go of his heart.

With something to do, she left everyone else behind, and immediately had someone carry a bunch of potatoes to the kitchen.

Xie Xi and the others talked about important matters for a while, and when they went to the kitchen, the entire back kitchen was filled with the voice of Jin Yan directing everyone to do things.

Not only did everyone in the big and small kitchens move, even the maids and guards also came on stage.

When Hu Po and the others filtered out the potato starch with a tofu-making strainer, and asked Jinyan if he needed such a thing, Jinyan jumped around excitedly.

"That's it. Put it aside and let it settle. Guard Wang, you have strong hands. Continue to grind these potatoes into slag."

After Jin Yan finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen again, and a master chef asked Jin Yan if he could stop the fire.

After reading it, she said, "This is fine, but before that, let's take out some baked potatoes for everyone to try."

The chef took out seven or eight, except for Xie Xixunyu and the others, everyone else shared one.

Jin Yan ate a small piece by himself, showing a satisfied expression.

She came in front of Xie Xi, "How about Daddy? Are you soft and sweet, very delicious?"

Xie Xi nodded, "It's delicious. No wonder you're always in a hurry. When you're sick, you always want to eat mashed potatoes."

Jin Yan blinked, "Did I say that?"

Xie Xi didn't care either, he promised: "Daddy will arrange it, and when spring comes, choose the best place to plant it..."

"Daddy, wait a minute. I'll tell Master Li how to make mashed potatoes, and then I'll see if the pork ribs are almost cooked." Jin Yan ran away after finishing speaking.

Xie Xi shook his head helplessly.

Soon, Jin Yan came out and said to Xie Xi, "Daddy, maybe potatoes and corn don't need such a good land at all. The fertile land should be reserved for rice and wheat."

Xie Xi paused, with a hesitant expression.

He is not worried about not being able to grow it, nor is he afraid of wasting it, but he is afraid that if someone leaks the news, someone with ulterior motives will use it to attack his daughter.

Xun Yu said, "Let's try what Yan Yan said first."

If this batch of potatoes is not enough, at worst, the imperial court will send a ship to go overseas to find them.

Xie Lin also said: "Patriarch, the caravan has now written down the route. After they rest for a while, they will arrange more people to go to sea. At that time, they will find a way to exchange more seeds."

Missy can find anything else she wants to eat.

"Daddy, it's okay. The big deal is to take out more parts and plant them on flat and fertile land, and plant the rest on slightly dry and hard soil. It's just a good time to do a control group experiment, and then you can see how big the difference in yield is. It’s fine, it’s fine to make a decision later.” Jin Yan said.

Xie Xi naturally had nothing else to say.

Jin Yan said again: "Traditional fertilizers are also somewhat simplistic. If you can combine various manures, plant ash, straw, and other things that can promote growth into a more effective and simple fertilizer in proportion, then no matter what you plant, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. .”

Thinking about it this way, the agricultural tools seem to be a bit single and backward.

Fortunately, in the last world, she learned so many skills from the heirs of the Mohist school, and all the technical drawings were engraved in her brain.

Ah, it looks like she's going back to her old job again!
