Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 104
"Oh? Then tell me carefully about this great gift!"

"Okay, brother, please listen to my brother and tell me slowly!"

Then, King Xiaoyao began to talk eloquently, spitting everywhere, and spent a lot of time telling a simple thing.

"So, you are saying that the yield of these potatoes is [-] kilograms per mu?" The emperor was shocked as King Xiaoyao expected, "But apart from the yield, other conditions are really as you said?"

King Xiaoyao naturally knew that his royal brother was concerned about the storage stability of potato seeds, their strong satiety, easy planting and easy survival, so he did not tease him, so he nodded and said: "Yes!"

"Come here!" The emperor concealed his excitement, restored his usual dignity, and called the eunuch Xiao Shengzi.

"Have someone send that box of potatoes to the imperial kitchen. I want to taste it for dinner today!"

Xiao Shengzi answered, and just as he was about to arrange for someone to take care of things, Ouyang Yiyun, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Uncle Huang, I will go to the imperial kitchen in person later. I have many ways to eat potatoes. I guarantee your satisfaction!"

"However, my nephew still has something to say to Uncle Huang, about potato seeds."

"Oh? What does our Xiaoyun want to say to Uncle Huang?" The emperor was curious, and then looked at Xiaoshengzi, "Send the things down first and tell them that Xiaoyun will be there later."

Xiao Shengzi called the eunuch to carry away a basket of potatoes, and then left.

"Okay, Xiaoyun, just say whatever you want. Uncle Huang is listening!" After saying that, he looked at Ouyang Yiyun below with a loving look on his face.

This boy has been cute and lovable since he was a child, much better than his brothers, and his hobby of gold and silver since he was a child also endears him to him.

Ouyang Yiyun was a little helpless. Why did everyone always like to call him "Xiaoyun"? It sounded like the maiden name of a girl from some family. He obviously had the name, but why didn't he call him "Xiaoyun".

But he dared to quarrel with other people, but he didn't have the courage to sit above him.

"Uncle Huang, although this potato was grown by Wangfu Zhuangzi, it was not found by Wangfu in the first place."

Potato seeds have never appeared in the hundreds of years of history of the Great Li Dynasty. Are they just a new thing?

"My nephew went to a place called Chang'an Town in Liuning Prefecture while on a shop tour, and he found a little girl he met in the mountains."

Then, Ouyang Yiyun talked in detail about how Li Xiao's family discovered things, planted them, saved seeds, and donated seeds to villagers and the palace. He also added some good words about Li Xiao's concern for the country and the people, and insisted on asking the emperor to do so. He also became curious about her.

"Listening to what you said, this little girl is indeed kind-hearted. Let's not explore whether she really cares about the country and other people. Her willingness to share potato seeds is unmatched by many people."

"Yes!" Ouyang Yiyun asked Yourong, "Not only that, her family also found yam and unicorn fruit, and these were not hidden! In other words, yam and unicorn fruit are not suitable for growing in the north, so she didn't Give the seeds to the palace!"

In fact, he took a lot of yam seeds and tried to plant some in the village. However, he found that they did not grow well, so he gave up and did not waste the remaining seeds.

What he didn't tell the emperor and his father was that he had sent all the remaining seeds to his farm in Jiangnan Mansion to plant them, just to see what the harvest would be this year!
King Xiaoyao and the Emperor are both human beings. Although Ouyang Yiyun has been a ghost since childhood, when has he ever spoken for an "outsider" like this?

The two brothers looked at each other with teasing and laughter in their eyes, and then the emperor continued to speak.

"It seems that our little Yun'er likes this little girl very much!" "That's natural!" Ouyang Yiyun just finished speaking, and he couldn't help but think of Li Xiao's cute appearance. After listening to the emperor's words, he thought He answered if he didn't want to. After he finished answering, he realized what he had said, and then the tips of his ears turned red and he shut up.

The emperor and King Xiaoyao were both a little amused, but they didn't press the topic again.

However, the emperor pondered for a while and said: "According to what you and your son said, these potato seeds can solve many problems. In this way, the Li family can be regarded as meritorious. May I make that little girl the head of the village?"

The village owner, a town owner. In Dali, the village owner is the seventh rank, and his rank is the same as the county magistrate. It is mostly used to reward commoner women who have made great achievements.

But currently, there are no village lords in Dali, but there are quite a few county lords and princesses.

If Tudouzi really solves the army's food problem and the people's food problem during natural disasters, then her contribution will be more than enough for her as a village head.

Just when the emperor thought Ouyang Yiyun would be happy to thank Li Xiao, Ouyang Yiyun refused.

"Why?" The emperor didn't understand for a moment, and neither did King Xiaoyao.

"She should have more unexpected surprises. Why don't you remember the credit for her first?" Ouyang Yiyun said, "Besides, she has a shallow foundation now, so it's better to keep a low profile so as not to affect their family. .”

Ouyang Yiyun didn't dare to say how many acres of pepper Li Xiao's family still grew. This thing can be said to be golden. Even the inventory in the palace was not much, so he still let the little girl's family develop further.

Thinking about it, Ouyang Yiyun suddenly felt that he had to talk to his second brother about whether he could use a back door to let the girl enter his second brother's military camp.

And his third brother, it’s time to send someone by his side to encourage him to work more and make more money!

As for Li Qingsong, Ouyang Yiyun did not intend to interfere too much with Li Xiao's eldest brother.

After all, for scholars, sometimes difficulties or hardships are what they need most for growth.

Now that Li Qingsong has been selected as a child, according to the news from Liu Ning Mansion, the girl may soon find a way to send her eldest brother to Fucheng to study. He doesn't need to worry about it. At most, let Liu Ning Mansion As long as people take care of you.

Li Xiao still didn't know that her three brothers were clearly arranged by Ouyang Yiyun, but at this time, she was making plans to develop in Fucheng just as Ouyang Yiyun thought.

Returning to the imperial study, Ouyang Yiyun talked a lot with the emperor, and what he said was sincere. The emperor finally agreed with him, noted down the contributions of Li Xiao's family, and looked forward to his own family. Other surprises from my nephew's mouth.

After getting the promise he wanted, Ouyang Yiyun wisely left the imperial study, leaving the space to the two adults.

When he came to the imperial dining room, the servants in the dining room had already washed a basin of potatoes, and Ouyang Yiyun then asked people to peel them.

When the steward of the imperial kitchen and several chefs saw Ouyang Yiyun, they naturally bowed respectfully.

Eunuch Sheng had said before that Young Master Yun would come over and tell them how to cook the potatoes.

A new food was ordered by His Majesty. They didn't dare not take it seriously, so they must be very energetic!
