Seeing that the emperor attached great importance to it, the guards did not dare to take it lightly.He took out his knife and carefully cut open the outer basket.

This guard is highly skilled.The outside basket was broken, but the inside was intact.

The sweet potatoes are packed in baskets, and the soil on the land used is sprinkled with water from time to time on the road.In Beijing, the leaves of these sweet potatoes and potatoes withered, but they survived.

Zhang Zhao came over and squatted on the ground.He doesn't mind the dirt being dirty.He scoops up the dirt below with both hands, just as he sees the harvest in a sweet potato field.

Soon, a whole sweet potato root came out.

Zhang Zhao picked it up carefully.More than a dozen large and small long and round purple-red bumps appeared in front of Emperor Qi Shun.

Emperor Qi Shun stepped forward to check carefully, and found that these sweet potatoes really grew from the roots, and were not tied up by tricks.

At this time, Emperor Qi Shun was also very excited.Heart pounding.He reached out to take the sweet potato seedlings and stared at the roots of the sweet potatoes. "Is this... is this true?"

Zhang Zhao nodded, and replied in a deep voice: "It is absolutely true that I dare to take the head of my minister as a guarantee. If it is false, the emperor will directly order someone to cut off my head. The fate of the country. I dare not speak nonsense."

Eunuch Li was also very excited at this time.He handed the dust to the little eunuch behind him, knelt on the ground, and pushed the dirt under the potatoes with his hands.

Soon, the whole potato root appeared in front of Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li picked it up carefully, knelt on the ground, and dedicated it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, auspiciousness, true auspiciousness!"

As a courtier beside Emperor Qishun, he knew better than anyone else that Emperor Qishun was diligent in governing.Woke up very early, went to the court, and had to revise the memorial until late at night.

If it weren't for the fact that there were not many princes in the palace, the emperor would not have entered the harem.

Such a hardworking emperor was also scolded by those old officials pointing at his nose, saying that the emperor's throne was not right, so he brought disaster.

Actually, it's all bullshit.What does this disaster have to do with the emperor? But courtiers and common people believe it.If we have high-yielding crops as our auspicious signs, who would dare to talk nonsense?
Emperor Qi Shun held sweet potatoes in one hand and potatoes in the other.He checks carefully.Don't be careless with excitement.After careful inspection, Emperor Qi Shun determined that it was complete.

Before entering the study, Emperor Qi Shun hurriedly asked: "Zhang Aiqing, I want to hear about the situation of sweet potatoes and potato cultivation."

Zhang Zhao showed the memorial. "Your Majesty, what I want to say is written in the memorial. The yields of these two crops are very high. I arranged for Lord Lu, the magistrate of Shanyang County, to send someone to protect them. The emperor can send someone to check overnight, so that the sweet potatoes can be harvested." It's time for the late ripening season."

Emperor Qi Shun took the memorial and read it carefully.He has a general understanding of the planting situation per acre. "Zhang Aiqing works very hard. You have worked hard all the way. Go back and rest for a while. I immediately sent people to Qianlihua Village in Shanyang County. After tomorrow, I will send those old ministers to Qianlihua Village and let them have a look. A real good omen."

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "The emperor is wise."

Emperor Qi Shun looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and handed them to Eunuch Li. "Let the imperial dining room steam sweet potatoes, bake sweet potatoes, and make sweet potato pancakes. Don't make it too complicated."

Eunuch Li replied: "Yes. Mr. Zhang, have you eaten before?"

Zhang Zhao nodded and smiled: "Yeah, it's delicious. But there's a very bad part, which is very embarrassing."
