Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 103 Tudou Zi enters the palace
The potatoes on Prince Xiaoyao's estate were ripe. On the day of digging potatoes, the prince took the crown prince, the second son, and the fourth son to the estate.

The father and son looked at the slices of potatoes, and the dug potatoes were transported to the warehouse in baskets. It would be a lie to say they were not excited.

Although King Xiaoyao and Jinshang were not born from the same mother, their relationship was still very close because their mothers were direct cousins.

Therefore, many times, while King Xiaoyao is "free", he also hopes to relieve the current generation's worries and solve problems.

There have been no major wars in the past 30 years in the Dali calendar, but there have been constant minor frictions on the border. The military supplies and food for the defenders everywhere are a national priority.

Coupled with some natural disasters, food is always in short supply every year. The lack of food in the treasury is the biggest headache today!

Yes, there is food among the people, but the court cannot expropriate it without reason, or even buy it in large quantities when it is not necessary, so as not to cause food prices to rise and cause panic.

Nowadays, armies from various places are also trying to grow food, but after all, their energy is limited and their skills are specialized. Not all men who can take a sword to the battlefield can grow crops!

Now the emergence of potato seeds can be said to solve this big problem. As soon as the six acres of potato seeds in this village are harvested, they can dedicate them to the emperor!
"Six acres of land, that's more than 1 kilograms, right?" Ouyang Yifeng, the second eldest brother, sighed, "So if you plant a hundred acres of land, that's enough to feed my soldiers for a long time!"

Well, as a general, he always thinks about his soldiers.

"It's estimated to be more than [-] kilograms!" After hearing Ouyang Yifeng's words, the eldest son Ouyang Yiyang said.

"According to the news from Chang'an Town, the potato yield per unit is about [-] to [-] jins!" Ouyang Yiyun said on the side.

"So high?!" Ouyang Yifeng was surprised.

Even Prince Ouyang Yu, who had always been calm on the side, was surprised for a moment.

"Yes, the Li family's first batch of potatoes yielded about [-] kilograms per mu. This year's yield per mu has reached more than [-] kilograms." Ouyang Yiyun mentioned the Li family intentionally or unintentionally, and then felt inexplicably. I remembered a certain little girl.

"So, let the people in Zhuangzi work hard to dig potato seeds today. When the yield comes out, I will go to the palace today to meet the saint." King Xiaoyao was looking forward to the yield of potato seeds, and he was also looking forward to the emperor's expression.

"Father, I'm going too," Ouyang Yiyun said.

King Xiaoyao was a little surprised, but it only took a moment before he agreed.

There were many tenants in Zhuangzi. After the prince spoke, everyone naturally put down their work and went to dig potatoes with all their strength.

At the end of the day, all the potatoes from the six acres of land were harvested, neatly packed, weighed, and put into storage.

King Xiaoyao asked someone to bring a few baskets and then returned to the palace.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, King Xiaoyao brought Ouyang Yiyun into the palace, and also brought a basket of freshly unearthed potatoes.

In the imperial study.

The current emperor Ouyang Qing looked at the basket of potatoes that were still slightly soiled with a look of helplessness.

"Ayu, are you here to give me a gift?" You know, when the younger brother said that he was going to give him a big gift, he was still looking forward to it.

However, looking at this basket of, uh, so-called potatoes, he really couldn't be happy.

He is a majestic emperor, but he lacks such a basket of beans?

Fortunately, Ouyang Yu didn't hear what he was thinking, otherwise he would have really attacked him and said, Brother Emperor, you are missing!
Ouyang Yu didn't seem to notice his imperial brother's expression at all, and said cheerfully: "Yes, this is the great gift from my brother to the emperor!"
