The so-called peaceful and prosperous times are just barely able to make ends meet, and there is never much food in storage.

If the year is not good enough, we can eat wild vegetables and weeds.

Starving people to death, selling their children and selling their daughters, is a common occurrence for many years.

As early as when they were excavating, Liu Xi ordered people to set up cauldrons on the side of the road.

Add water to make a fire, and put a little bit of white rice in each pot.

Then he ordered someone to bring two baskets of the dug out sweet potatoes, washed them, cut them into small pieces, and put them into the pot.

When the field has not been dug up to a half, the sweet potatoes in the pot are already cooked.

Liu Xi took a bowl, filled half of it himself, and then asked the laborers to come and take a bowl.

Even people and passers-by watching on the roadside can use it at will.

His purpose in doing this is to quickly popularize sweet potatoes.

Zhuge Liang and the others also went to join in the fun, and each brought a small bowl over.

They drank a mouthful of rice porridge, which was soft and glutinous and sweet. The sweet potato melted in the mouth, soft, delicious, and very satisfying.

All praised.

They were discussing the production of sweet potatoes, and looking at this situation, I'm afraid there will be more than a thousand catties.

After the farm official weighed the yield of one mu of land, he shouted loudly: "Sweet potato yields [-] catties per mu!"

"Five thousand catties per mu!"

"Five thousand catties per mu!"

All the people shouted and trembled with excitement.

Even those noble families are very happy and excited.

People take food as their heaven, and such high-yielding food cannot be overestimated in any way!

"Father, mother, did you see it? Children will never starve again! It would be great if you were still alive!"

"Wuuu, my poor boy! If this sweet potato had appeared two years earlier, you wouldn't have starved to death!"

Some people remembered their relatives who died of starvation, and they couldn't help crying with their bowls in their hands.

Especially the soldiers of Tuntianwei, most of them are refugees, so they feel more empathy.

Crying loudly for a while.

After crying, everyone bowed to Liu Xi, and many people even knelt three times and nine times.

"Long live! Long live Liu Shijun!"

Everyone shouted.

The word "long live" has only been reserved for emperors since the Ming Dynasty.

But even so, this term is rarely used in this era, and is only used for real solemn occasions.

According to Han records, only when the champion Hou Huo Qubing captured the nobles of the Xiongnu royal court, the soldiers shouted "Long live".

This is a very high honor.

Seeing the high yield of sweet potatoes and no acclimatization, Liu Xi left with satisfaction.

After he left, all the people spontaneously joined the harvesting team to help harvest such sweet potatoes.

Everyone was careful as if they were digging for treasures that were more precious than gold.

Zhuge Xuan sighed: "With these high-yielding crops, Liu Shijun can be called a sage of the world."

With this merit, Liu Xi's prestige will surely reach its peak, and he will be sanctified.

The group gradually calmed down when they entered Fenggao City. In Fenggao City, rows of houses were lined up.

There are many high-rise buildings, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, hawking sounds one after another, a prosperous scene.

The city was constantly patrolled by soldiers, lively and noisy, but without the slightest confusion.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhuge Xuan and his party were walking on the street, watching the lively market, they were all very curious.

No matter how prosperous other cities are, there is no such vibrant atmosphere. Everyone has a smile on their face and is full of expectations for life.

Since the Zhuge family came to Fenggao City for the first time and had no place to stay, the Lu family invited them to live in another courtyard of the Lu family.

On the road, jugglers, paper kites and pinwheels, candy blowers, all kinds of novelties, not to mention these children's eyes are hot, even adults can't take their eyes off.

The old Lu family sighed: "Liu Taishou is really omnipotent. It is said that these gadgets are all completed by craftsmen under his guidance.

Although these things are inconspicuous, they can support many craftsmen and increase a lot of taxes for the court. "

Zhuge Xuan flipped through the newspaper he had just bought.

I saw that it was divided into several pages. The top one was about the major policies of the DPRK, followed by the important affairs of the county government, then the technology of farming and mulberry, and the technology of raising livestock, and then the story of hunting, telling the ancients. Gonzo, and at the end there is news of the circulation of commercial goods.
