A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

"The yield of sweet potatoes can reach [-] kilograms per mu. If it is widely promoted in our country, our country will no longer have to worry about food in the future."

"Da Si Nong, this is just a one-sided statement made by people from Haiguo. It would be too arbitrary to draw a conclusion without investigation?"

"Who said I didn't investigate? Long before the Sea Kingdom envoys sent sweet potatoes, I had seen records about sweet potatoes in some records."

However, in those records, sweet potatoes grew in the more distant country of Fan, which is how "Fan" came from.

Although there are discrepancies between the origin of sweet potatoes and book records, he does not think this is a big problem.

As long as this thing is non-toxic, can satisfy the hunger, and the yield is really not low, what does it matter if the names are different?
The opposition sneered: "Da Si Nong is really well-informed and well-read. He can use any anecdotes as evidence. Even if the yield of sweet potatoes is really good in Haiguo, it does not mean that it also has such high yields in our country." output.”

A thousand kilograms per mu is indeed a terrifying figure.

You know, in the most prosperous areas of Shengguo, the rice production is only three to four hundred kilograms per mu.

In areas with poor yields, it is possible to reduce the yield to [-] to [-] jins, or even worse to [-] to [-] jins.

One thousand kilograms compared to three to four hundred kilograms, the gap is too huge.

But some people are born with a tough mouth. After cremation, only their mouth remains erect.

They will not admit it.

Emperor Jianliang was very upset when he heard the quarrel below.

He was actually very moved.

A thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu can greatly solve the problem of food shortage.

But the opposition also has a point.

What if the sweet potatoes are not acclimated to the soil and water, cannot achieve this yield in Shengguo, or even cannot be grown at all?
Suddenly, a voice as clear as jade was like ice water poured into boiling water: "What's so noisy? Choose an area for trial planting. Everyone will be happy if the planting is successful, and it can be widely promoted in the future."

"If the sweet potato is really not acclimatized to the soil, you can give up after testing it."

Emperor Jianliang touched his palm and said, "What Gu Qing said is true, so let's do it!"

Immediately he became a little worried: "But where is the right place to choose?"

Since it is a trial planting, a person in charge must be selected.

Generally speaking, the magistrate/prefect of that area will be the person in charge.

A group of ministers below suddenly became quails.

Under the propaganda of the opposition and the fact that Da Sinong personally admitted that his so-called evidence was only from some unauthoritative travel notes, few people were willing to believe him.

Everyone felt that the sweet potato would definitely be acclimatized, and this job would be a hot potato.

When the result is unsatisfactory, not only will it fail to please His Majesty, but you may also be reprimanded.

It still requires effort and time.

Not worth the candle.

Seeing that no one in the civil and military circles dared to take on the job, Leng Lanzhi sighed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I would like to give it a try."

The courtiers were all stunned, and then they all complimented: "Tianhai City's grain harvest ranks among the top three every year. It shows that the land is fertile, and the trial planting will definitely be successful!"

But in my heart I disdain.

This Princess Jia Luo really has no brains in order to take credit.

If the credit is so easy to gain, why don't they rush to get it?
Is it because you don't want to?

No matter what everyone thought, at least Emperor Jianliang was very happy: "Okay, I will leave it to Jialuo now. If you need anything, just tell the Ministry of Industry and let them have the right to cooperate with you!"

Leng Lan responded.

After returning home, Leng Lanzhi invited Da Sinong and asked him about his knowledge of sweet potatoes.Da Sinong was not just a random judge after reading a few unstudied travel notes as everyone thought. He had done his homework and had a good conversation with Leng Lanzhi.

The envoys from the Sea Kingdom only brought sweet potatoes, but no seeds.

Based on experience, Da Sinong speculated that the food that these roots can eat should be seeds themselves, and perhaps they will sprout when spring arrives.

Now there are still dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes left in the princess's mansion, which is not even enough for one acre of land.

After all, sweet potatoes are different from other seeds. If the entire sweet potato is really a seed, dozens of pounds of sweet potatoes would actually only be hundreds of sweet potatoes.

Da Sinong expressed his worries.

Leng Lanzhi said nonchalantly: "This problem is easy to solve. It's enough for me to write a letter and ask Tianhai City to purchase a batch of sweet potatoes."

Da Sinong added: "Xiaguan believes that if you want to test whether sweet potatoes are really independent of the growth environment, they cannot be limited to a certain place. Such results are not accurate."

The environment in Tianhai City is very suitable for the growth of crops. If you choose Tianhai City for trial planting, the results will be inaccurate.

After all, how many places can be as good as Tianhai City in most years?
Leng Lanzhi pondered for a moment and said: "This problem can be easily solved. I also have a manor in Shengjing. I will also circle a piece of land in Shengjing and start planting in both places at the same time. The results will be more intuitive."

Da Sinong's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

After Da Sinong left, Leng Lanzhi immediately wrote a letter asking Li Changlin to start buying sweet potatoes.

If possible, he could also get some advice from the merchants in Tianhai City.

After finishing writing, she thought about it and wrote another letter to An Xuanji, telling her about Qiu Wenwen's death.

On this day, the housekeeper came to report: "Princess, the eighteenth prince has handed over an invitation and wants to invite you to visit the lake."

"Just say that I am unwell."

Not long after, the housekeeper came again: "Princess, Princess Pingzhao handed over the greeting card."

Leng Lanzhi: "..."

She can reject the eighteenth prince, but she cannot reject Princess Pingzhao.

"Let her come tomorrow."

The next day, Princess Pingzhao came, but she didn't come by herself, and she brought the eighteenth prince with her.

Princess Pingzhao has learned Sheng Guoyu, and although she is not very fluent, she can see his intentions.

"Princess Jialuo, are you feeling better?" Princess Pingzhao had a humble smile on her face.

Leng Lanzhi also smiled back: "Much better, thank you for your concern."

It was noon, and Leng Lanzhi saw that the few people had no intention of saying goodbye, so he politely said: "It's going to be lunch soon. Can you two stay and eat?"

Princess Pingzhao showed an embarrassed expression. After asking the eighteenth prince in a low voice, she replied to Leng Lanzhi: "Thank you Princess Jialuo for your hospitality."

"Do you two have any taboos?"

Princess Pingzhao was not very proficient in the Shengguo language, so she was stunned for a moment: "Taboo... what does it mean?"

"Taboo means something that you don't like to eat or can't eat."

Princess Pingzhao oohed twice and asked the eighteenth prince first.

The eighteenth prince chuckled: "Look, Ping Zhao, she has me in her heart."

Ping Zhao was stunned.

Leng Lanzhi: "?"

The eighteenth prince thought that Leng Lanzhi didn't understand, and he spoke unscrupulously: "Look how considerate she is to me! This is the attitude towards a loved one. In the future, just wait and call me Prince Consort!"

Leng Lanzhi's eyes cooled slightly: "In our prosperous country, if someone stays at home as a guest, it is the most basic etiquette to ask about the other person's dietary preferences and taboos." (End of Chapter)
