An angry shout came from behind,
"Yue Zhi..."

The voice was a little cold, as if squeezed out from between the teeth.

Yue Zhi finally saw Xiao Yuyi standing at the gate of Lenggong, he laughed dryly,

"Hi, Your Majesty, good morning, have you eaten yet?"

The anger in Xiao Jieyi's chest has calmed down, it's just a fire, it's not a big deal, just treat him as a naughty boy's prank,
"No, I just got off the morning court, and when I saw the thick smoke billowing from your place, I thought it was a flood!"

"That's great. I got a few magical foods from outside the territory. They're called sweet potatoes. I'm planning to roast them and eat them. Your Majesty, you are in luck!"

Yue Zhi took out a sweet potato weighing seven to eight catties from the cloth bag, and gestured to Xiao Jieyi as if offering a treasure.

Xiao Jieyi was stunned. Can this dark red, round thing be eaten?
"What kind of fruit is this? I don't seem to have seen this thing before."

Yue Zhi said mysteriously,
"This is not a fruit, it grows out of the ground, it's called sweet potato, also known as sweet potato.

It is a product from overseas countries. I got it by chance. I baked it and ate it. It was fragrant and sweet, and it was delicious. "

"Can you eat?"

"Of course it can be eaten, and it's very delicious."

Xiao Yuyi's heart moved, he took the sweet potato from Yue Zhi's hand,
"Yue Zhi, you said that this thing grew out of the ground?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yuyi's voice gradually became louder.

"Can the Great Viet Empire grow this thing?"

Yue Zhi scratched the back of his head and said uncertainly,

"Can you...?"

Xiao Yuyi grabbed his arm,
"Can or can't."

Yue Zhi, the martial commander who cheated to advance to the promotion, how can he hold a master like her to catch her hard.

Immediately, he howled like a pig, "It hurts, hurts, hurts, let go, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jieyi also realized that under the agitation of his mind, he exerted too much force, so he quickly let go of his arm.

The people of the Dai Viet Empire usually only planted crops such as millet, millet, soybeans and wheat.

Not only the yield is low, but also the damage by diseases and insect pests.

The people simply can't get enough to eat.

Xiao Jieyi calmed down his excitement, and asked about the sweet potatoes in detail.

Yue Zhi's family was from the countryside in his previous life, so he was fairly familiar with these things, and explained them to the Empress one by one.

He emphatically said that the yield of this crop called sweet potato can even reach [-] jin per mu.

Xiao Jieyi swung out the sleeves of his dragon robe, and a gust of wind pressed on the fire.

The flame that was just about to burn was gradually extinguished due to lack of oxygen supply.

"Ai, Your Majesty, what are you doing? I still want to bake sweet potatoes!"

Xiao Yuyi's jade face flushed red from excitement,
"Yue Zhi, if you can plant this thing in the Dayue Empire, then the people of the Dayue Empire will no longer have to worry about hunger and hunger."

Am I so great?
I thought the system was devoid of conscience, but I didn't expect it to be a huge surprise.

There was a haughty "hum" in my mind.

"Your Majesty, I still have two bags of similar things, do you want them?"

"Is it more productive than this sweet potato?"

"That's not true, it's just that in a good year, there should be a thousand catties per mu!"

Xiao Yuyi's head clicked like a chicken pecking at rice,

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Yue Zhi turned around and entered the room, one in each hand, and brought out cloth bags of corn and potatoes.

Although the two bags are heavy, it is still very easy for Yue Zhi, who is a military commander, to carry them.

"Your Majesty, this is corn, and this is called potatoes. They are all gifts I found for you."

Yue Zhi brazenly took the credit for himself.

If I hadn't come, you would have been cooking sweet potatoes over a fire.

Xiao Yuyi rolled his eyes at him, but didn't poke him.

"Yue Zhi, thank you on behalf of the people of the Dayue Empire!"

"Thank you, I'm not for the people, I'm just for you."

Xiao Jieyi's heart was hit by this earthy love story, and his whole body felt bad in an instant.

A feeling that has never been experienced hits the whole body.

Xiao Yuyi didn't even know how he should answer his words.

She had to change the subject,

"Wu Qiuping, send people to announce the cabinet elder Xie, the household minister, prime minister Zuo, and the generalissimo into the palace. I want to distribute these good things to the common people."

"Wait, wait, Your Majesty, you said we should divide it now?"

Xiao Yuyi was taken aback for a moment,
"That's right, shouldn't it be divided?"

"It should be, but this is too little and not enough. Why don't you build an experimental field first, plant these kinds of crops, and distribute them to the people after a good harvest."

Xiao Yuyi pondered for a while, then nodded,
"What you said is very reasonable, then find a garden in the imperial city and plant it first."

"Your Majesty, there is another advantage to doing so."

"What's the benefit?"

"It means that by the time the seeds are distributed to the people, farmers who are familiar with the habits of the crops have been cultivated, and they can pass on their experience to the people."

Xiao Yuyi looked deeply at Yue Zhi,

"Yes, you are right! Where should these things be planted?"

"The imperial garden, such a large vegetable field, it would be a waste not to plant crops."

Xiao Sanjue returned to the mansion after the morning court, and sat on the chair in the study all the time to meditate.

When the family members entered the study at noon and were about to ask for instructions on what to have for lunch, they were beaten out by the furious old man.

All the servants in the mansion knew that Master Xiang was in a bad mood, and no one dared to touch his bad luck.

Xiao Sanjue just sat like that until it was dark.

The servants didn't even dare to send candles in.

Xiao Qi, the leader of the sycophant's family, held a lantern in his hand, lingered at the door of the study, tried a few times, but finally didn't have the courage to stroke the beard of the prime minister.

"Give me the lantern, and you all go down."

The voice behind him startled Xiao Qi.

Turn around, turn back.

Xiao Qi bowed and saluted,

"Third Master."

It is the youngest son of the old man, the third master Xiao Jifeng.

Xiao Jifeng has something to do these few days and has not been in the mansion.

He had just returned home and heard that his father was in a daze in the study.

Mr. Xiao happened to have something to report to his father, so he rushed over in a hurry.

After sending away a few servants, Xiao Jifeng held a lantern and knocked lightly on the door.
"Father, it's me, Ji Feng!"

There was no answer in the study for a long while.

Xiao Jifeng was a little worried, and was about to call someone to break into the door.

Xiao Sanjue's voice sounded in the house,

"Come in, the door is not latched."

His voice was hoarse and deep, completely different from Xiao Sanjue's usual high-spirited and loud voice.

Xiao Jifeng pushed the door lightly, but it was not locked.

Holding the lantern, he walked into the study.

The sudden light made the eyes of the old man who had been in the dark for a long time uncomfortable.

Xiao Sanjue put his hand on his forehead to block the glare of the light.

"People send away?"

Xiao Jifeng bowed down to salute respectfully,

"Send him away. Father, Ying Twelve's injury hasn't healed yet, why are you in such a hurry to send him away?"

"Yueyi has newly established an organization called Dongchang in the palace. These days, we have been sent to the inner room of the imperial city to arrest them all.
I'm afraid that their hands will stick out of the imperial city, and when the time comes, they won't be able to leave even if they want to! "

Xiao Jifeng said indignantly,
"Xiao Yuyi, the white-eyed wolf, has already forgotten whose blood is flowing on her body."
