There are quite a few people behind the empress, and Ren Baqian recognized the big executive Shi Qing, the young executive Zhe Kou Hai, the Minister of the Household Department Tuwan, the Minister of the Taifu Gu Yue, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry Tong Zhenye, and others. several others.
Among them, the twenty-yuan sunglasses that Ren Baqian knew brought the street stalls to buy, and they just wore the effect of branded sunglasses. They were like gangster bosses, standing out from the crowd like a chicken, and extremely eye-catching.
His Majesty came here with so many high officials from the court, but everyone in the beast garden was taken aback. They didn't know what happened.
"Your Majesty! My lords." Ren Baqian greeted everyone.
The empress nodded, and Tong Zhenye smiled. After all, Ren Baqian is fine now, and the glass factory and other things that Ren Baqian said can continue to work. Ever since he heard that the empress and Ren Baqian returned safe and sound, he immediately asked The subordinates found all the things that Ren Baqian had said before, and even brought back three carts of coal. Although a car can't transport much at this time, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to it.
Therefore, apart from the Empress, he was the one who cared most about Ren Baqian's life and death.
Apart from Tong Zhenye, to Ren Baqian's surprise, the senior executive Shi Qing also smiled kindly at him.
Dazhi Lao and Hongwu are like pillars in the hearts of the people of Dayao, and they are indeed so.
Hongwu has guarded the border for many years, preventing Daxia from entering, and even made a great reputation in the Northern Protectorate.
And Shi Qing has been standing in the court for many years, and he has done a lot of practical things for so many years, benefiting an unknown number of civilians, and has a very high reputation in Dayao.
Among all the cold faces, Ren Baqian was surprised that such a person showed affection to him. In addition, although Shi Qing is old, but has held power all year round, the aura on his body, and that pair of sunglasses immediately reminded Ren Baqian of a Hong Kong and Taiwan movie where the boss patted Ma Zai on the shoulder: "Do it well!" , I am very optimistic about you."
"Cheng Ren, how is the sweet potato you mentioned?" the empress asked. Bringing so many people here is indeed a big event on the one hand, and on the other hand it is also to give Ren Baqian momentum. If there are any mistakes or omissions, the empress will not be able to hold back, and Ren Baqian will also be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, it's already ripe. You can dig it out and weigh it now. I also dug out some to cook in the kitchen before. You can taste it."
"Okay, let's get started."
Now let's see how much this acre of land produces.
When everyone was digging in the beast garden, everyone was waiting quietly.
Before coming here, His Majesty said that he wanted to see the new crops, but no one knew the details.
However, Dayao is not a big agricultural country in the first place, and the eating habits of the ancient people are mainly meat. The aspect of crops is far less important than animal husbandry, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it.
A new crop is just one more dish on the plate.
But those bosses who wore sunglasses thought more, after all, everyone saw the solar hearthstone last time, and they always felt that what Ren Baqian made should not be ordinary things.
As everyone timed, piles of sweet potato tubers were dug out from the ground and piled aside.
An old man dressed as a third-rank official didn't care about the dirt, he picked up a few pieces of sweet potatoes from the ground and checked them in his hands...
At this time, someone also brought over steamed and roasted sweet potatoes in two pots.
"Everyone, try it, it tastes good." Ren Baqian said to the crowd, first he took out a roasted sweet potato, and opened it from the middle to reveal the red-gold inside. can smell it.
Everyone stood in the court hall all morning, smelling this smell made them hungrier, looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian presented the split sweet potatoes to the Empress: "Your Majesty."
The empress took it over and looked at it, the outer skin didn't look so clean, but it smelled delicious and sweet, tempting one's appetite.
Generally, the food that the empress eats is given to her after someone has tried it, but she didn't care about the things that Ren Baqian handed over, after all, no one gave her a poison test when she was on earth, and she didn't care about Ren Baqian. Not much defense.
Opening his white teeth lightly, he took a bite, and there was a bright color in his eyes. This stuff tastes really good.
The crowd couldn't stop it in time, seeing that His Majesty ate like this, their eyes turned twice on Ren Baqian.
"Old man, try it." Tong Zhenye didn't say a word, His Majesty ate it all, why are you afraid of being poisoned
"Give me one too." Shi Qing greeted behind him.
In an instant, the roasted sweet potatoes were grabbed by a bunch of big hands, and the others had to go to get the steamed sweet potatoes.
Everyone took a bite and nodded with sweet potatoes in their mouths: "Not bad, not bad."
This thing smells good and tastes good too, soft in the mouth, sweet and delicious.
A group of bigwigs gathered in a circle, gnawing sweet potatoes like a group of old farmers, nodding their heads in praise, the scene was extremely lively.
"What's this thing called?" One person stopped after eating a few mouthfuls and asked, Ren Baqian noticed that it was the minister who came up to inspect the sweet potatoes just now, and had some guesses about his identity.
"I call it sweet potato, but it should be called sweet potato." Ren Baqian said.
"How long does it take to mature?"
"It's ripe for three months, and you don't need to pick the land. It can be planted on a cleared piece of land on the hillside, and it's easy to take care of." Ren Baqian said.
"How much can one mu of land produce?" the man asked again.
"We'll know after a while." Ren Baqian said. "However, you can't eat too much of this thing. It has to be eaten with other foods, otherwise it will cause heartburn."
The man nodded and stopped talking. He stared at the pile of sweet potatoes with bright eyes. Judging from the current situation alone, the number would not be small. He had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to believe it.
After eating at this time, looking at the large pile of sweet potatoes dug up, the others began to look forward to it.
According to Ren Fucheng's words just now, this thing can be planted anywhere without picking any land, which is too important. With other foods, the life of those villages in the 60,000 Dashan Mountains will be much better, and there will be an extra good food on the dining table of the common people.
Soon, almost all the sweet potatoes in the field were dug up. Someone moved the scale to one side and loaded the sweet potatoes to weigh them.
Ren Baqian was originally going to help with the calculations. He is too confident in the mathematics level of the ancient people. Do you believe that there are more than ten people who need to count with their fingers
But he stopped when he saw the people from Hubu passing by.
The Department of Accounting should still be relatively reliable.
"Three thousand one hundred and sixty-three catties... three thousand seven hundred and fifty-two catties... four thousand eight hundred and sixty catties... five thousand nine hundred and twenty-five catties... six thousand four hundred and fifty-one catties..."
Whenever a number was spit out from the population of the household department, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they all surrounded them in the end.
Too much, too much dug up.
No one could have imagined so many before.
Now the yield of rice outside the city is only five or six hundred catties per mu, but this thing is more than six thousand catties, ten times, ten times!
