Six thousand four hundred and fifty-one catties, confirmed three times in a row, and the official who checked the sweet potatoes first stared at it nervously, for fear of making a mistake in the calculation.
When it was confirmed that the number was correct, everyone immediately went crazy.
Too much.
This product called sweet potato is not picky and can be eaten as a supplementary food, and its yield is so high, ten times higher than that of rice.
If it is about the same or a little more than rice, people don't care, but it is so much higher, then the value is different.
As long as the cultivation of sweet potatoes is promoted, Dayao will not need to buy food at all in the future.
Cong Sanpin, who was looking at the sweet potato, burst out laughing.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this sweet potato is of great use to me, Da Yao. There will be no more worries about food shortages in the future." Everyone turned to the empress with joy on their faces.
The Empress listeners were in a happy mood, and Ren Baqian really did not lose the chain, and the yield of more than 6,000 catties per mu was enough to make people amazed.
Focusing on Ren Baqian: "This sweet potato counts as one of your great achievements."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ren Baqian thanked at the right time. Although it is not of much use to him, after all, it is meaningless to him to get promoted and get rich now. However, it is also a good thing to be able to improve one's status in the court and the people of Dayao.
However, the yield of more than 6,000 catties per mu is not a surprise. It is said that this sweet potato can yield 10,000 catties per mu, and Dayao's land is also very fertile, and it was only more than 6,000 catties in the end.
It's a pity that I don't know much about this aspect, I just searched some information, but I still remember that sandy soil should be better than this kind of solid land.
"Ge Yihong, you and Ren Fucheng inquire about this sweet potato, and then expand the planting as soon as possible." The empress wanted to order.
"Yes!" Ge Yihong was the third-rank official who inspected the sweet potatoes before, Tian Mu Siqing, who belongs to the Ministry of Industry and is responsible for agriculture and animal husbandry. He knows Dayao's current agricultural and food situation better than anyone else, and he is also more aware of the amazing yield of sweet potatoes.
"Your Majesty, there are still things about the glass factory and Damo Mountain." Tong Zhenye hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Ge Yihong aside. Although sweet potatoes are important, he still has a lot of things to do. Well, Ren Baqian drew a big cake for him before, but he couldn't eat it, and he has been thinking about it for a long time.
Now that Ren Baqian finally came back, how could he let Ren Baqian go to the land.
Ge Yihong was blown bearded and stared angrily at the top, but the other party was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was just Secretary Shimoda Mu of the Ministry of Industry. Of course, at this level, even if Tong Zhenye is his immediate boss, it doesn't matter that much, the most important thing is that he still can't beat him.
"Let's discuss it later." The empress said lightly. In her mind, the matter of the Damoshan Iron Mine was the most important thing, but she didn't know much about it, so she let them arrange it themselves.
Tong Zhenye showed Ren Baqian a ferocious smile that he thought was extremely kind.
After reading it, everyone knew what was in their minds, so there was no need to stay any longer, and the group was about to leave. Ge Yihong pointed to the field not far away and asked what was there.
"Spice." Ren Baqian replied simply. For the time being, he is going to get a field to plant this thing, and then go to those three countries to collect money.
This thing is absolute profiteering.
The money collected can also be used to purchase other supplies and enrich the palace treasury. After a few years, the cultivation of spices will be slowly released.
When Ge Yihong heard that it was spices, his eyes lit up, and he ran over directly after apologizing to the empress.
There are many new spices in the palace, and all the officials in the court have heard of them. After all, it happened at the empress's birthday party. Although the dishes at that time didn't look very good, they tasted very good, and everyone could taste the difference immediately.
It's just that there is only a little bit in the palace, and it has basically never flowed out outside, and everyone has only heard about it and never seen it.
Now that they heard that it was spices, many people were interested, and the brigade moved to that field for a long time.
But people don't understand these things, so they watched the excitement and asked for a long time. After letting Baqian say that the royal family would buy land for planting and then sell it, all that was left was anticipation.
Anyway, as long as you can buy it at that time, you don't need to grab everything.
Even if you want to grab it, can you still grab it with the emperor
Ge Yihong wandered around for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "I still think that Renfu Cheng should come to Tian Musi, and it happens that Tian Musi still lacks a young minister."
The sweet potatoes and these spices that Ren Baqian produced made him feel that Ren Baqian must still have something good in his hands, and it would be a pity that he couldn't dig up Tian Musi.
Everyone squinted at him. They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen such shameless people talking nonsense with their eyes open.
Tian Musi and Shaoqing are busy there every day, so you treat him as if he doesn't exist
If Ren Baqian really went to Tian Musi, what do you want to do? Come up with two young ministers
But seeing that he turned a blind eye to the contemptuous eyes, and his face was indifferent, many people felt that this shameless look was quite the style of the old man back then.
Everyone left after staying in the animal garden for a long time. Tong Zhenye kept grabbing Ren Baqian and asked when he would go to the Ministry of Industry, and Ge Yihong grabbed him and asked about the situation of sweet potatoes. After finally getting rid of the two, Ren Baqian returned to the palace with the empress meal.
After sitting in the garden with the empress for a while, enjoying the tranquility of the two of them for a while, he went to Qingxin Hall to find Lin Qiaole to learn calligraphy. I was assassinated last time I learned half of it, and now I have forgotten a lot.
In the evening, I went to Qingxin Temple again, and then two people appeared in the room of the earth.
At this time, the earth is already in June, and it is starting to heat up. Ren Baqian opened the room to let the room ventilate. After checking the time, it was only after seven o'clock in the evening. : "Zi Xiao, do you want to go out for a walk? The city in summer is much more lively than winter, and it is also much more beautiful."
"Okay." The empress nodded. In this world, she didn't have any complaints about the itinerary, except that she bought red dresses when she saw red dresses in the mall.
After all, everything in this world is new to her.
In particular, the peaceful and affluent atmosphere of this world also makes her enjoy and feel at ease. She never has to think about other things, and all the complicated things in the DPRK are far away from her.
The city nights in late spring and early summer are very beautiful, and the whole city feels full of vitality. There are pedestrians out for a walk everywhere on the roadside, there are hip-hop teenagers wearing earphones in twos and threes, and there are people dancing in the open space. Young mothers pushing baby carriages, young parents taking their children to the street with kebabs in their hands.
When the Empress came here, there were not so many people in the city at night.
After driving, I went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of things and put them in the car. The empress was holding a bucket of popcorn, and she suddenly felt that this food was delicious.
It should be said that as long as she likes sweets, she dislikes salty and spicy ones. Although she didn't show any expression, she could see the disgust from the pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.
