The Red Mansions

Chapter 799 Emperor Chongping: This sweet potato is so high-yield, it is like a god-given fetish for a man!
Shenjing, Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
The towering and majestic hall is solemn and solemn, and there is silence in the huge hall. Today is another court meeting of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, three or four days had passed since Jia Heng returned to Jinling. With the impeachment memorial from Jinling quickly delivered, the anxious situation of the Jiangnan war was once again shown to the Han officials.

In the hall, the cabinet, the Sixth Department, the Military Aircraft Department, Ke Dao Yushi and other big Han officials gathered together, except for the clear and clear voice of the Minister of Military Aircraft Shi Jie, there was no other noise.

Emperor Chongping listened to the report of Jiangnan's military situation from the Military Aircraft Department, his face was as calm as water, and he said in a deep voice: "The pirates are coming again, and Yongning Bo can return to Jiangnan?"

Shi Jie replied: "Your Majesty, Uncle Yongning returned to Jinling three days ago to deploy defenses, but there is no new military report."

After Jia Heng returned to Jinling, he also wrote an urgent report on the military situation to Shenjing, and also sent a letter to Chongping Emperor Feige, informing Jurchen of this strategic deployment.

Chaos in Chen Han Jiangnan, in order to use troops in the north.

At this time, Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, held an ivory jade wat, and said to Chen Zou: "Master Shi, don't you, the coastal counties of Songjiang Mansion and Taicang Mansion have encountered enemy bandits who have landed on the shore and robbed us, killing our scholars and people. How is this?" Is there any new military report?"

As soon as this remark came out, Shi Jie's face paused, and he was speechless for a while.

And as Yan Ye spoke first, all the ministers in the hall also started discussing one after another.

Cen Weishan, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, held a wat board and went out to Chen Zou, saying: "As far as I know, the navy of Weigang in Tongzhou is only stationed at Haimen, and they dare not go out to sea to fight decisively with the enemy. They just sit and watch the pirates plunder Taicang and Songjiang prefectures. I don't know what the purpose is?"

This did not directly mention the impeachment of Jia Heng, but all the officials in the court knew it well, because the memorials of impeaching Yongning Bo by officials from the Southern Province had already filled the Secretary of General Affairs.

Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, turned his eyes to Shi Jie, and asked, "What about Yongningbo's memorial?"

Shi Jie said: "Bo Yongning said that cavalry troops have been dispatched from the Jiangnan camp to support the Songjiang and Suzhou prefectures and expel the pirates who landed and looted."

At this time, Pang Shilang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Yongning is sitting in the navy, but he dare not fight with the Jurchen's troops. This minister thinks that the order will be reprimanded!"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the officials in the hall changed slightly, and they thought to themselves, did the Qi Party just want to see it?
Shi Jie paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Lian, the navy of Daying in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, pales in comparison to the combat power of the invading North Korean navy. The thieves and bandits are coming fiercely. The earth and water divisions are helping each other, and I think it's a matter of war opportunity, especially the frontline generals and schools adapt to the situation, so it is not appropriate to rush to promote troops."

Emperor Chongping paused when he heard the words, and said, "What do you think?"

"When the navy from the two places arrives, I don't know how many prefectures and counties the thieves have plundered." Pang Shilang said without giving in. I heard that Jurchen has [-] sailors this time, and the Jiangnan Daying Jiang navy has only more than ten thousand newly recruited soldiers, Yongning Bo is worried that he will lose in the battle, so he is afraid to go forward."

Emperor Chongping's eyes remained unmoved, and he looked down at the group of officials with gloomy faces.

Cen Weishan cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Uncle Yongning has received the favor of the emperor, but he is afraid to move forward. My servant, please send another good general to the south to oversee the army and fight the enemy."

Because Cen Weishan, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, is from Songjiang Prefecture, seeing that his hometown was in flames of war, and the Jiangnan Jiangbei Daying Navy could not avoid the battle, one can imagine the anger in his heart.

At this time, some censors in charge began to show up one after another, echoing Cen Weishan's words.

Emperor Chongping frowned, and looked at the cabinet ministers. Yang Guochang, Han Huang, and Zhao Mo all looked indifferent, and they seemed to be thinking.

Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, frowned, and came out of the class and said, "I don't agree with what Master Cen said. Just over a month ago, the Jurchen army invaded Jiangkou, and Uncle Yongning led the Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps to attack the intruders hard. Enemy, why do you say you are afraid of war?"

Emperor Chongping listened to the group of ministers discussing below, his eyes fell on several people in the Military Aircraft Department, and asked, "What do you think of the Military Aircraft Department and the Privy Councilor Wen?"

At this time, Beijing Wangshui dissolved the squad, his handsome face showed respect, Chen Zou said: "My lord, I think that Yongningbo's deployment of troops must have a plan. I will stay away from the south of the Yangtze River and I don't know the details of the battle. I think it's inappropriate to hastily urge the troops to be promoted."

Shi Jie also came out of the class and said: "I think what the king of Beijing Jing said is very true. The captives came across the sea and attacked from a long distance. Falling discouraged, and gathering a few reinforcements to attack, I think this is the reason."

Emperor Chongping listened to Shi Jie's words, confirmed with Jia Heng and the secret sent by the early impeachment memorial, nodded, and said: "What Shi Qing said is not unreasonable. Zi Yu always plans before acting. Previously, Jurchen He has already suffered defeat in his hands, and now is no exception."

It might be that he was anxious, but in view of Jia Heng's past record, the emperor chose to be patient.

Immediately, he looked at the officials below and said, "The war in the south of the Yangtze River has changed, and you should wait for a few more days."

The officials below heard the words and had to give up.

Yang Guochang's old eyes were clouded, and the emperor obeyed Yongning Boyu's words.

As for Zhao Mo and Han Huang, their faces were calm, as expected.

After suppressing the war in the southern kingdom, Emperor Chongping asked about the collection of autumn grain, and asked, "Yang Qing, how is the collection of autumn grain this year?"

Yang Guochang said: "My lord, all the northern provinces have been hit by disasters this year, and the Jianghuai River has also suffered floods, which has affected the grain production to some extent. I wonder if I will buy another batch of grain for storage in the warehouse."

Emperor Chongping heard the words and asked, "Has the autumn grain from the south of the Yangtze River been delivered to Beijing?"

"According to Du Jitong, Governor of Water Transportation, the food and grass from the two rivers have been sent to Beijing to be given to the Beijing camp and the officials' rations." Yang Guochang replied: "However, the frontier army consumed a lot of food earlier. We allocated 200 million taels of silver to purchase grain and rice from Jiangnan."

Emperor Chongping said: "The last time the frontier army was short of pay, I allocated money from internal funds. How long has it been?"

This Yang Guochang once again set his mind on internal money.

Yang Guochang's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, that's the salary owed this year. Because the frontier army has been completed one after another, it's not easy to delay the payment. That's why the old minister invited me, and the grain and fodder in the warehouse are in short supply. It is related to the food problem of millions of people in the capital..."

At the end, he seemed to be taken aback by Emperor Chongping who suddenly quieted down, his voice gradually became inaudible, and it was difficult to continue speaking.

Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "Then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will coordinate and dispatch first, and the Lianghuai Salt Law will bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The results are remarkable."

Restricted by Chen Han's rainy season this year, the reduction in grain production is a big problem. With the cold and hot weather coming in these days, the middle-aged emperor also realized the importance of grain. If there is no stable grain reserve, There was a famine, and thousands of miles of barren land, I don't know how many people couldn't eat enough, and died in the wild.

Common people can never eat gold and drink silver.

Yang Guochang saw that Emperor Chongping's tone was not smooth, so he couldn't continue talking, and slowly returned to the train.

At this time, Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, I heard from officials in Henan that the extensive planting of sweet potatoes in Henan this year has affected the normal cultivation of autumn grains. Now the common people are complaining, calling Uncle Yongning the uncle of sweet potatoes."

"Uncle Sweet Potato?" Emperor Chongping was surprised when he heard this.

It was indeed as if the emperor had heard Jia Heng's nickname for the first time.

At this moment, all the officials in the palace looked at Pang Shilang, and some officials of the Zhejiang Party had strange expressions on their faces.

Pang Shilang pondered and said: "My lord, oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. The sweet potato is a crop in Fujian. How can it be transplanted in the Central Plains? I thought that Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding was the governor of a province, acting as a herdsman for the son of heaven. But because of people's policies, I listened to Yongningbo's words and ignored the reality of the Central Plains, so I thought it was absurd."

Emperor Chongping looked pale, and said: "I also planted an acre of sweet potatoes in the imperial garden."

Pang Shilang: "..."

"The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is still to be verified, but now it is the time for sweet potatoes to be harvested. After the harvest, even if the yield per mu is more than ten stones, it is much better than rice grains. It greatly relieves my big man in recent years. Famine." Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice.

After hearing the emperor's words, Pang Shilang felt awe-inspiring, the emperor had left an excuse for Jia Heng's child in advance.

Emperor Chongping said: "Besides, sweet potatoes are only transplanted in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, and have not affected the cultivation of other autumn grain crops in the northern provinces. The harvest will not be too late after the harvest."

Pang Shilang bowed his hands and said yes, and returned to the train, and the officials in the hall became quiet again, but he had a new understanding of how favored Yongning Bo was.

With the dispersal of the court meeting, Emperor Chongping left the Hanyuan Hall, walked on the palace road, and rode on a walking chariot, and the palace walls with red walls and red eaves on both sides quickly passed by the left and right.

Emperor Chongping was thinking about the state affairs in his heart, and the worry on his calm face remained undiminished, and he came to Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, eunuchs and female officials stand with their hands down by the side of the curtain under the beams and pillars, and a beautiful woman in vermilion and gorgeous palace clothes is sitting on the cloud bed in the hall. Her cheeks were rosy, and she was full of smiles.

Accompanied by Concubine Duan Rong, Empress Song was talking to King Wei and Princess Wei Yan Yiliu, who had entered the palace to pay their respects. In addition, there were Song Jing's wife Shen Shi and her daughter Song Yan who came to the palace as guests.

Empress Song Furongyu had a smile on her face, she looked at King Wei with kind eyes like the warm sun, and said in a low voice, "What are you busy with in Beijing these days? It looks like you'll be free these two days."

Wei Wang said softly: "There are not many affairs in the city. This year, the security in Beijing has improved a lot. Following my uncle's suggestion, some refugees were sent to Chang'an and Wannian counties under their jurisdiction for resettlement. The security incidents in Beijing have also decreased. A lot."

Due to the large number of permanent residents in Shenjing City, the law and order deteriorated. After King Wei took over the command of the Wucheng Bingma Division, he mainly carried out some renovations on the city appearance of Shenjing City, focusing on the dirty and chaotic problems of the east and west cities of Shenjing City. Comprehensive management was carried out.

Including but not limited to repatriation of idle land rogues, beggars for food and clothing, or prefectures and counties under the Jingzhao Mansion.

Empress Song frowned, and said: "Some people go to the city to seek a living, and it's not good to always drive them out. They don't have a job, so they will inevitably gather in the mountains and take risks. It's not easy to force them too much in Beijing."

King Wei nodded his head, agreed, and said, "I understand."

Sitting next to Song Jing's wife, Shen Shi, Princess Wei Yan Yiliu was listening to her husband and mother-in-law's conversation, her face with her hair in a bun was thoughtful, and the golden hairpin was even more motionless.

King Wei thought for a while, then said in a clear voice, "Queen Mother, I think the battle is going on in Jinling, and there have been a lot of rumors about Ziyu in Beijing recently."

"Oh, how did you say it?" Empress Song was surprised and asked softly.

Wei Wangdao: "Didn't the mother hear that? In recent days, the Jurchens have colluded with pirates to go to Jiading, Shanghai and other places to harass the people, and Ziyu sits in the southern province with a navy and sits and watches the Jurchens burn, kill and loot. Officials are impeaching Ziyu."

In fact, Jia Heng also sent cavalry to support the local guards. He only retained the defense and refusal capabilities of the navy, and did not face-to-face with the captives. However, these fell in the eyes of the officials of the Southern Province and turned a blind eye.

Under Song Empress Liu Yexiu's eyebrows, doubts were seen in the beautiful eyes painted with light rose red eye shadow, and she said softly: "Ziyu, he did this, maybe he has some deep meaning? It's hard to say anything about war. Bar."

The king of Wei shook his head slightly, and said worriedly: "I don't know about this matter, but Ziyu has always planned before moving, maybe there are other plans and I don't know, but the old capital of Jinling is safe and the world is watching. To the north, everyone looked sideways, I heard that this is Prince Jurchen personally leading the army, known as the Fifty Thousand Navy Division."

Empress Song listened quietly, her beautiful eyes twinkled, her snow-skinned and jade-like face seemed a little absent-minded.

Jurchen is less than ten thousand and invincible. She has heard some of them over the years.

Concubine Duan Rong and the Shen family were also listening, the former was full of worry on her seductive and cold jade face, her eyebrows were already slightly furrowed, while the latter did not give in too much.

Song Yan raised her white and snowy face, her eyebrows and eyes resembling Queen Song's, and whispered to Shen's ear: "Mother, isn't the Jurchen in the north?"

"They came here by boat." Shen explained to the little girl in a low voice: "There is going to be a big battle in Jiangnan."

"Are they all Jurchens?" Empress Song asked Wei Wangdao after she settled her mind.

The king of Wei shook his head and said: "I don't know about this son, but I heard some rumors that there are some Korean navy divisions, and I don't know how many Jurchens have come."

When Empress Song heard this, the handkerchief tightly clenched in Xianxian's hand tightened slightly, and her phoenix eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Concubine Duanrong's cold and beautiful face was full of worry, and a clear voice like melting ice and snow sounded, and she said softly: "Xianning's last letter said that she has arrived in Jinling, she..."

Empress Song came back to her senses, her pink lips parted slightly, and she said in a gentle voice, "Sister, don't worry, Ziyu is in Jinling, I think there should be nothing wrong."

It's hard to say anything else, when it comes to fighting, that young man was originally a rare young man in the world. During the chaos in Henan, didn't he just tell His Majesty that he could calm down calmly?
Hmm...how did she think of that time in Henan again?
The king of Wei then said: "The city is full of uproar these days, and the court should be discussing this matter today. I think that Jinling is in danger, and I plan to go south to share my father's worries. Brother Chu Just in time to escort a batch of ordnance to the south.”

When the southern provinces were impeaching Jia Heng, the kings were not idle, and began to plan to relieve Emperor Chongping's worries.

First of all, the king of Chu thought that the armory of the Department of Cleaning Officials in the Armory of the Ministry of Households in Nanjing was corrupt and insufficient, and it was difficult to supply the camp in the south of the Yangtze River. Shang Shu asked himself to escort a batch of arms to Jinling to reward the southern army.

At the same time, it also euphemistically mentioned going south to visit relatives. After the old lady Zhen passed away, Princess Chu and the prince of Chu were in the south of the Yangtze River, and planned to visit the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River.

After Emperor Chongping reviewed it, he hesitated for a while, and the imperial edict was approved, so the King of Chu packed his luggage and rode a fast horse to Jinling.

"This...it won't be too late to talk about it when your father comes back." Empress Song Yurong said softly.

She also knew about King Chu's going south, but she didn't think it was easy to get together. Besides, King Chu was because of the Zhen family's affairs, so what was going south?
When Wei Wang heard this, he saw disappointment in his eyes.

At this moment, the voice of the inner eunuch came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty is here!"

The few people who were talking got up and looked at the middle-aged emperor who was walking quickly from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty." Empress Song called softly, and immediately, accompanied by the sound of jingling rings, the plump and gorgeous beauty was like a peony in full bloom, charming and flowery, plump and juicy, moving gracefully , walked closer, the beautiful eyes as bright as water reflected the Emperor Chongping with a demeanor as deep as a deep.

Concubine Duan Rong accompanied her younger siblings, Shen Shi and Song Yan, who also got up and went to greet each other.

"Zitong." Emperor Chongping said, glanced at King Wei and Princess Wei Yan Yiliu, and nodded.

"I have seen my father." Wei Wang Chen Ran and Wei Wang Concubine Yan Yiliu came forward and said.

Emperor Chongping looked at King Wei with a milder gaze than in the past, and said, "Let's be flat."

At this time, Concubine Duanrong and Song Jing's wife, Shen Shi, also came to talk, and Emperor Chongping signaled that they would be excused.

Empress Song said softly: "Your Majesty, I just heard that something happened in Jinling, and my concubine and sister were worried about Jinyang and Xianning."

Emperor Chongping glanced at Wei Wang Chen Ran, and said: "Jurchen colluded with the pirates and attracted the North Korean navy to invade Jinling City. Ziyu returned from Haojing and is in Jinling to deal with it. There is nothing else going on. .”

Empress Song frowned, and said in surprise, "Has Ziyu's military report been delivered yet?"

Emperor Chongping frowned, and said softly, "The latest military report has not arrived yet."

Seeing Emperor Chongping's worried expression, Empress Song said in a low voice, "Then Your Majesty need not worry too much."

Emperor Chongping said: "I wasn't too worried at first. There should be no serious problems with Ziyu sitting in the south."

Empress Song: "..."

Emperor Chongping said: "As Ziyu Mishu said, Jurchen intends to mess with us in the south of the Yangtze River, to contain our great Han, to prompt the use of troops in the north, to annex the Mongolian tribe of Chahar, and to threaten our border towns such as Taiyuan and Datong. They are deliberately planning."

Concubine Duan Rong was slightly startled when she heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, isn't it true that there are also enemies in the north?"

Song Yan thought for a while, then turned to look at her mother, with surprise in her moist eyes.

Empress Song pursed her pink lips, and said softly, "What did Zi Yu say?"

Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "There is no movement from the Mongolian side of Chahar at present, and Jurchen may also be paying attention to the battle situation in the southeast of our Han Dynasty."

In Jia Heng's secrets to Emperor Chongping, he focused on the analysis of the Jurchen's strategy, and cited the lessons of the Northern Song Dynasty to open up Datong and Taiyuan, and the Jurchen was no longer restrained.

Empress Song said softly: "Then we can discuss it after Ziyu comes over."

The Kunning Palace fell into silence.

Emperor Chongping suddenly looked at Dai Quan who was at the side, and said, "It's been a few months, and the sweet potatoes in the Imperial Garden should be able to be harvested, right?"

Dai Quan smiled and said: "It seems that I can accept it. The servant girl is about to tell His Majesty. These two days are looking for an auspicious day to dig out the sweet potatoes."

Emperor Chongping thought for a while, and said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, just look at the harvest today, Zitong, follow me to the Imperial Garden to have a look."

If there are really dozens of shi per mu, or more than a dozen shi per mu, this year's autumn grain collection will also be relieved, and there will be floods in the north.

Seeing that Emperor Chongping was excited, everyone got up and followed Emperor Chongping towards the imperial garden.

Royal Garden

The world below the southwestern wall is lush and lush. The original flowers and plants have already been shoveled away by Emperor Chongping, and sweet potatoes have been planted. The size of the land is one mu, just for the convenience of calculating the yield per mu.

At this time, Dai Quan ordered the guards and the inner eunuch to prepare the shovels and started digging the sweet potatoes in the soil.

Emperor Chongping sat on a grand master's chair not far away, drinking tea and talking with Empress Song and Concubine Duan Rong.

Empress Song raised her eyes to look at the sky, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon, my concubine, why don't you send someone to the imperial dining room to deliver the meal."

Emperor Chongping said: "I'm not hungry yet, so pass on the food and use it first."

Immediately, she looked at Concubine Duanrong, Shen Shi and Song Yan, and said, "Zitong, you will lead them to lunch first, and I will watch here."

Is this sweet potato as productive as Ziyu said?Today we need to see, not to mention dozens of stones per mu, even if it is more than ten stones per mu, after the promotion of planting, it will greatly benefit the country and society.

Empress Song said softly: "The concubine is not hungry, just stay here with His Majesty."

As he said that, he looked at Concubine Duanrong and said softly, "Where's my sister?"

Concubine Duanrong smiled lightly and said: "Sister, actually it's not too late, it's not too late for us to have dinner together later."

The others did not leave, but watched the harvest with Emperor Chongping.

And as time passed, the guards dug out the sweet potatoes one by one from the soil with a shovel, and soon they piled up into hills in the open space beside them. Monitor the scales.

"Here, father-in-law, there are more here." A guard pointed to a pile of wild grass and said.

Dai Quan's white and rich face was covered with sweat at the moment, he smiled and said: "They've all grown here, they've all come here and dug up this piece too."

Judging from the pile of sweet potatoes on the hill just now, the yield of this sweet potato should not be low.

At this moment, Emperor Chongping saw the sweet potatoes piled up into a hill, and his cold and thin face also showed joy, and said to Queen Song who was waiting at the side: "Zitong, the sweet potatoes that Ziyu strongly recommended really yielded a lot. After the sweet potatoes are cooked, they are sweet and delicious, and one acre of sweet potatoes can feed a family of five for half a year."

The king of Wei had an unbelievable look on his face, his eyes were fixed on the sweet potato, he was shocked and inexplicable.

How did you gain so much?
Princess Wei Yan Yiliu was on the side, her face as clear as snow showed a strange color, this princess had a square forehead, fair skin, heroic brows, pink lips parted slightly, and thoughts welled up in her heart.

This sweet potato has such a high yield?
At this time, Dai Quan took the washed sweet potatoes and smiled like offering a treasure: "Your Majesty, take a look at this, the others are being weighed."

"It looks like it's not small." Emperor Chongping looked at Dai Quan's hand and said with a smile on his face.

At this time, the inner eunuch who was counting on the scales in the distance finally counted up the numbers, walked quickly, knelt down, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it's a total of 35 shi."

Maybe it's because of the fertile soil in the Royal Garden. Although the sweet potato is not as good as the yield of [-] jin per mu after seedling selection in later generations, the yield at this moment is quite abundant.

Although Emperor Chongping had already expected it, he still felt trembling all over his body.

35 stone!

He originally thought that it would be a blessing to have more than a dozen stones, but why did he think that there are really dozens of stones per mu?

This sweet potato is so high-yield, it seems like a godsend to the great man!
Food is the most important thing for the people. People in all dynasties and dynasties did not have enough to eat, so they raised flags and rebelled. Now that we have this sweet potato, why worry about the big man?
Dai Quan also took advantage of the situation and knelt down, cheering up and said: "Your Majesty, this is a man blessed by God."

At this moment, Empress Song Yurong was also delighted to see that her cheeks, which were white and greasy like snow, were flushed with beautiful circles due to the agitation of her emotions, and said: "My concubine congratulates your majesty."

Concubine Duan Rong also saw surprises on her jade face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this sweet potato is indeed very productive."

Shen Shi also pulled Song Yan aside to congratulate, as for Wei Wang and Yan Yiliu's faces were complicated and inexplicable.

The yield per mu is more than ten shi, but anyone with a normal mind will know the significance of this to the community.

The word Sheji is the god of earth and valleys, which can be said to be the foundation of the country.

Emperor Chongping tried his best to maintain a calm voice, trembling because of excitement, and said with a light smile: "Ziyu said that the sweet potato yields tens of stones per mu. Earlier, those courtiers said that Ziyu didn't understand farming, and said that the promotion of sweet potatoes in Henan would hinder it. Farming, now sweet potatoes produce tens of stones per mu, my man will no longer have to worry about famine, and all internal worries will be eliminated."

The yield per mu is dozens of stones. Once there is this thing, at least the civil unrest like Henan will never happen again. He will concentrate on dealing with foreign aggression and no longer have to worry about civil unrest.

This is the continuation of Guozuo's great achievements!
The original worries about the land of Jinling in the bottom of my heart were all swept away!

At this time, Dai Quan smiled and said jokingly, "Your Majesty, I heard that many prefectures and counties in Henan have planted sweet potatoes this year. Previously, Yongning Bo said that this product is the most resistant to drought. I think this year will also be a bumper harvest."

In fact, as Dai Quan said, the whole of Henan and other places are now in great joy, and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding is writing a memorial to announce the good news to the court.

However, Peng Ye, the governor of Henan Province, in order to deliberately disgust Jia Heng, vigorously promoted sweet potatoes in Henan prefectures and counties, and indulged the prefectural and county officials to spread the word "Sweet Potato Bo".

Emperor Chongping said: "Dai Quan, go and tell the cabinet about this, and pick some sweet potatoes and send them to the cabinet and the Sixth Ministry."

After saying that, after Dai Quan took the order, he said in a low voice, "Send some more to Pang Shilang, the servant of the household department."

Yang Guochang is old, and the people under him only know how to fight for power and profit, and ignore the important affairs of the country.
