From the red building to penetrate the heavens

Sheng Hong proudly looked at his good son-in-law who passed three yuan, and said with a smile: "What plans does this good son-in-law have for the future?"

Jia She smiled and said, "The officials want me to go out and practice for a few years."

The other four men in the room understood this. They valued Jia She and wanted to reuse him, but they were afraid that Jia She was too young to be able to take on the work, so they wanted to let him go out for a few years to beat and beat until he was almost ready. After that, he was transferred back and entrusted with important tasks.

After understanding the reason, the eyes of several people looked at Jia She a little softer, and they praised Jia She for a while.

This Jia She is like a fish in water, and the atmosphere in Shou'an Hall is harmonious. Even Sheng Hualan and Hai Chaoyun, who looked down on Sheng Molan at first, now have to be polite to Liang Han. The reason is that Jia She's current His official position is higher than that of Yuan Wenshao and Sheng Changbai, and his future is brighter.

At the end of last year, Jia She came up with a new accounting method, which was highly praised by the officials. Jia She was directly promoted to an official by two levels, transferred to the Ministry of Revenue as a fifth-grade doctor, and was highly promoted by several adults.

At the end of June, after receiving the news from Zhuangzi, Liang Han went crazy with joy. As soon as Jia She got home, he immediately pulled Jia She out of the house happily.

On the carriage, feeling Liang Han's excitement and trembling body, Jia She became more energetic and said with a smile, "But something big is going to happen?"

Liang Han nodded and said happily: "Is it so obvious?"

After saying that, Liang Han took a few deep breaths to calm down, and whispered in Jia She's ear: "Do you still remember the potatoes you gave me before and asked me to send them to the village for picking? The village head reported that they were ripe. Guess what it yields.”

Jia She took Liang Han's hand and shook it gently, with a smile on his face.

"Of course I know it. After I accidentally learned about it from the book, I spent nearly three years and spent countless money and manpower to finally bring it back. Can I still be unclear?"

Liang Han was shocked, "It's so precious, why didn't you tell me before? I saw it was gray and pitted, and I thought it was a stone."

Jia She raised his head and laughed loudly, "What I want is your effect. If you pay too much attention to it and ask others to look at it and pay attention, the credit will not go to us."

"The officials are wise." Liang Han praised.

Not to mention the concubine's eldest brother, even his direct brothers may not be able to withstand such a ground-breaking achievement. When the time comes, his father and clan relatives will definitely come forward and demand that this credit be directly attributed to Yongchang Bofu. superior.

"What does the officer want to do next?"

Jia She looked into Liang Han's eyes and said seriously: "I want to give this credit to you."

Liang Han took a breath, "What?"

Jia She held Liang Han's hand tightly and said, "It's not easy for my little lady to help me grow up these years. I want to give her a guarantee and a royal life."

"If the credit goes to me, the Sheng family may treat me a little better for my sake, but I still have to be restrained in the backyard, and no matter how powerful I am, I can only play in the Sheng family's three-thirds of an acre. This It’s really not what I want.” It is also the Liang family that benefits more.

"On the other hand, if I give you the credit, I can use your name to ask the officials to give my wife a royal decree, so that she can walk outside, instead of just being a person who can't get into the hall, and will be punished if she doesn't do well. The sold concubine.”

"Next, the credit goes to you. In the future, this legacy will be more reflected on our children, rather than on so many people in the entire Liang family. Do you understand this truth?" Listen, Liang Han couldn't help but be a little stunned. Are there really people in this world who don't care about fame and wealth?

"Are you serious? With this merit, you can become a duke and marquis, leave a name in history, and be praised by thousands of people."

Jia She shook his head solemnly, "I have other ways to make contributions, don't worry."

"Okay." Liang Han said firmly: "You found the potatoes and they are yours. Now that you have made your decision, I won't advise you, as long as you don't regret it."

To be honest, in Liang Han's mind, the benefits can only be maximized if the credit goes to Jia She, a man with a strong family background. But Jia She's wish is for Lin Sushuang to live a good life and have dignity at the same time. Then the credit for this can only be attributed to her.

Jia She patted Liang Han's hand, smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, if I had changed my mind, I would have changed it in the short half year since I got the potato."

"Okay, the potatoes are yours anyway, you can do whatever you want with them."

While the two were chatting, Zhuangzi arrived. As soon as he got out of the car, Zhuangzi came up to him in great excitement, and his words were somewhat incoherent.

After Zhuangtou led him down to the two acres of land where potatoes were planted, he saw that only three ridges of the yellow-green potato land had been dug, while the rest of the land remained intact. Jia She nodded with satisfaction.

Jia She went down to the ground to dig several potato plants. When he saw that each potato plant weighed nearly a kilogram, he couldn't help nodding with satisfaction.

Although the modern potato yield per acre is usually between 3000 and 5000 kilograms, with the use of high-quality potato varieties and proper management, the potato yield per acre can reach 8000 kilograms. In some particularly outstanding cases, it may even exceed kilograms.

However, the grain output in this era was generally around three to four hundred kilograms. No matter how good the fields were and carefully tended, it would not be more than five hundred kilograms at most.

Considering the specific situation and population of this dynasty, Jia She believed that it was not suitable to go too far. A yield of about a thousand kilograms per mu would be enough. If future generations need it, they will domesticate potatoes and optimize potato seeds.

Therefore, Jia She directly bought 700 to 800 kilograms of potato seeds that were of average quality and had not been domesticated or improved in the system mall, and then he controlled the potato production.

The next day, Jia She reported the potato incident at the court meeting. The civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar and could not believe it, so Jia She took the emperor and the civil and military officials in the court to Zhuangzi.

After everyone witnessed the miracle with their own eyes, Jia She treated them to a potato feast, which the emperor praised highly.

Jia Sheqian said, "I don't dare to be shy and take credit. It was Zhuo Jing who discovered this potato."

"Oh? How did you find it?" the emperor asked curiously.

Jia She sorted out the manuscript again and spoke eloquently.

"Zhuo Jing likes to read books the most. One day he read a travelogue written by a ranger. He mentioned that he accidentally rolled down a cliff and injured his leg. He was unable to move and had no way to seek help. He saw that potatoes were buried in the cave. The ones under the ground looked like rocks when they were first unearthed, so they were named potatoes.”

"It is written in the book that many fruits can grow under each rhizome of potatoes. They taste very floury and very filling, and whether they are thrown directly into the fire, or steamed, grilled, fried and stewed. It was so delicious that I couldn’t help but become interested in potatoes and sent people to look for them.”
