Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 156 The emperor can eat this sweet potato (1)

Outside the city, more than seven groups of civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty and the capital were full of doubts after receiving the news yesterday. They wondered why His Majesty the Emperor asked them to leave the city with him today?
  Especially some small officials who could not attend the court meeting were even more confused and excited.

Being able to be taken into action by His Majesty the Emperor must be no small matter. Being able to participate in such things is also a qualification for them, and it is also a piece of capital.

So they eagerly wanted to know what was going on, whether they could play a role in it, and whether they could let the emperor close his eyes.

This naturally includes Master Jia Zheng, who was born in Rongguo Mansion.

He has been an official in the imperial court for so many years, but he has always been a low-level official of the fifth rank, and he has not been able to go to the imperial court to see His Majesty the Emperor. This has always been a pain in his heart.

Today he finally had the opportunity to travel with His Majesty the Emperor. He was thinking about whether he could use today's opportunity to perform in front of His Majesty the Emperor and gain the Emperor's attention so that he could be promoted or given a chance. Go to court every day.

Therefore, he unconsciously took a few more steps forward.

If he hadn't done this, he might not have been noticed.

But if he takes a few extra steps, others will be left a few steps behind, and these people will not be happy.

"Jia Yuanwailang, although you came from Rongguo Mansion, you are still the second wife in any case, so you are still a Yuanwailang, so don't move forward."

As soon as someone spoke, the others were rude and faced Jia Zhengdao, whose face turned dark.

"That's right, Jia Yuanwailang, you have to see your identity clearly. You are just a member of the Rongguo Mansion. In fact, you are just a Yuanwailang. You have nothing to do and move forward. We should stay at the back with peace of mind."

"As a human being, you need to understand your status clearly, don't think too highly of yourself, and don't think about things that you shouldn't touch."

"It's yours that can't run away. It's not yours. Even if you get the future temporarily, it will disappear."

These strange words hit Jia Zheng's pain point completely.

The meaning of what these people said was obvious. Wasn't it that he occupied the Rongguo Mansion where his eldest brother pretended to be Jia She?

He wanted to stand up and refute, but the facts were there and there was no room for him to refute.

No one said much before, he was okay and didn't think too much.

Now these people don't give him any face at all. They bring this matter up in front of him. This is just a slap in his face.

But now that he was traveling with His Majesty, he could only swallow his anger and say nothing.

Just the way he looked made those around him look down upon him even more.

However, the movement on their side finally attracted the attention of the people in front.

Even His Majesty the Emperor glanced this way, but when he saw Jia Zheng, he was slightly startled and then said with a smile.

"That one over there should be Jia Zheng from Rongguo Mansion. Let him come forward."

His Majesty the Emperor's words stunned everyone around him. They didn't understand what His Majesty meant.
  Even Jia Zheng was a little confused when he heard His Majesty the Emperor calling him.

But he still knew one thing.

At this time, His Majesty is on his own, which is enough to show that His Majesty attaches great importance to him.

In this way, the embarrassment you just felt will disappear.

He even felt in his heart that this was the credit of His Majesty for daring to mention Rongguo Mansion to relieve him from the siege. He quickly passed through the crowd respectfully and kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor.

"My dear, there is no need to salute. You can stand beside me and witness the birth of auspiciousness with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Jia Zheng was still confused, he stood beside His Majesty the Emperor obediently. Even though he was under the gaze of all kinds of eyes, he did not show much abnormality.

But I'm still confused in my heart, I don't know why?
  Even though he knew that His Majesty was going to witness the birth of Xiangrui this time, he didn't understand why he was called to the front. Also confused were the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty.

However, His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of explaining, and instead asked a group of Huangzhuang farmers who followed him to come to the edge of the field.

"I will dig out all the sweet potatoes in this acre of land and put them in bags one by one. They will be weighed on the scale in front of me. If you have more people, try to dig out all the sweet potatoes as quickly as possible."

Everyone still doesn’t know, so.

His Majesty the Emperor maintained a mysterious smile.

When the first bag of sweet potatoes was dug out, someone weighed it at 110 pounds.

After the weighing, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the imperial chef who also followed to cut these sweet potatoes for processing.

At this time, the second bag of sweet potatoes was also delivered, this time also weighing 102 kilograms.

And His Majesty the Emperor asked someone to open the bag, wash, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into sections.

"Come, come, come, because I love you, come and taste the sweet potatoes with me."

Originally, everyone was still thinking about what this thing was for. Some people even thought that this thing might be edible, but they couldn't believe it.

Because the two bags I just brought are from a small area, which is nothing compared to one acre of land.

If this thing is really edible, how much can be produced from one acre of land?

This is something that is absolutely unbelievable to their cognition.

But now, His Majesty the Emperor personally invites everyone to eat.

Some of them couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, you won't tell me this is food, will you?"

His Majesty the Emperor picked up a piece of sweet potato with a smile, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and then said with satisfaction.

"This thing is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato. It was introduced to our Great Zhou Empire from overseas. I can tell you clearly that this thing is edible."

As he finished speaking, the imperial chef responsible for processing over there also completed the fastest way to make sweet potatoes, which is fried sweet potatoes.

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't wait to pick up two pieces and ate them again, talking while eating.

"There are many ways to eat this thing. I have asked the imperial chef to step up the production. Let me try them all."

Following his words, the third-generation sweet potatoes were also delivered, weighing 108 kilograms.

At this time, a minister in the crowd rushed forward impatiently, grabbed a fried sweet potato and ate it.

After chewing a few times, he swallowed the sweet potato with wide eyes, and then looked at the busy crowd in the distance in disbelief.

"It's more than 300 kilograms. I'm afraid that these 300 kilograms won't even have any land, right?"

"One acre of land can produce 300 kilograms. Doesn't one acre of land produce at least 3000 kilograms?"

"How is this possible? How is it possible that there is such a high yield of food in the world?"

His Majesty the Emperor felt comfortable. He was as shocked as he was then, and now he is as happy as ever.

Now looking at their unfamiliar faces, he felt that his previous shock was normal.
