This person is too strong but insists on eating the empress' soft rice

Chapter 48: Surprising Yield
In Fengming Palace, Ye Chen was eating dinner as usual.

If Eunuch Liu knew what he was doing at this moment, he would probably drive the latter half crazy.

Because the so-called new type of poison that Eunuch Liu had always been proud of was never taken seriously by Ye Chen.

And after Ye Chen ate those poisonous meals, the poison really wouldn't stay in his body for long, and it would be completely dissipated by a mysterious energy.

While Ye Chen was having dinner, an old eunuch in Fengming Palace was leading He Xianliang to get acquainted with Fengming Palace.

The old eunuch brought He Xianliang to the backyard of Fengming Palace.

He pointed at the willow tree planted by the pond in the backyard from a distance, and gave He Xianliang solemn instructions.

"Eunuch He, have you seen the willow tree over there? It is the empress's most beloved treasure. It is said that it is his lucky tree. You must not go there and move around on weekdays."

When He Xianliang saw the willow tree, he could still clearly recall the fear of being dominated during the day today.

He couldn't help asking at this moment: "You mean, the willow tree was planted by the empress herself?"

The eunuch who familiarized him with the rules in the palace nodded: "Yes, I saw with my own eyes that the emperor and empress watered it with spiritual water every day, and this allowed the tree to gradually grow stronger."

After He Xianliang received the confirmed answer.

His face suddenly turned pale.

Because after he was defeated by Liu Shu today, He Xianliang had calculated it.

According to his perception, the strength displayed by this willow tree at that time at least had the appearance of the fifth heaven of the great emperor.

But such a powerful spiritual plant was actually cultivated by the empress himself?

Doesn't that mean that the emperor's own strength is even more terrifying?
According to He Xianliang's conservative speculation, it is estimated that even a strong man at the peak of the Great Emperor would not be able to cultivate this miraculous willow tree.

Could it be that the realm of the empress has reached the semi-holy level?

This thought just appeared in He Xianliang's mind, and it immediately shocked him.

Because he knew very well in his heart that in this day and age, a strong man in the semi-holy realm has not existed for a long time.

Right now, he unexpectedly met a terrifying existence of this level.

Now when he thought about how he faced Ye Chen's oppression not long ago, he still wanted to resist.

It's almost ridiculous now that I think about it.

Although he possesses the strength of the Nine Heavens of the Emperor, but in front of the powerhouses of the semi-holy level, this strength is not even an ant.

At this time, He Xianliang had once again confirmed his first rule of survival in the imperial palace.

That is the meaning of never being able to disobey the empress.

In the blink of an eye, three or four days have passed since Luo Hongyan held the potato feast.

During these three or four days, many interesting stories about the potato feast were widely circulated.

Among them, people are most concerned about the new crop of potatoes.

"Tell me, who discovered this potato? It's so amazing!"

"Then who knows? I'm just curious whether this kind of thing can really yield fifty dan per month?"

"I'm also very surprised at this point, but His Majesty has said that himself, so there should be no falsehood in it."

"This is too exaggerated. This is ten times the output of ordinary grain."

"Your Majesty has already said that the purpose of launching this crop is to solve the problem of famine."

"By the way, I heard that today the officials will be gathering the first batch of potatoes in public. Why don't we go over there and have a look?"

"That's what I meant!"

For a time, the common people all gathered towards the same place.

This is the test site for digging potatoes in public selected by the Dacha God Dynasty.

Soon a lot of common people gathered here.

They all got the news about the potato crop through various channels.

Coming here now, I just want to see if the yield per mu of this new crop can really reach that terrifying level.

Here, there are specialized officials who are presiding over order.

"The auspicious time has come, now is the first acre of potatoes!"

Accompanied by an official's loud shout, the tens of thousands of people around were all quiet.

They were all staring nervously at the field.

"Han Zongfeng, please!"

Hubu Shangshu cupped his fists at one person at this moment and said.

This being called Han Gongfeng was chosen by the imperial court to let him dig the first acre of potatoes.

Jiang Qingyang, the Minister of Household Affairs, was also a little nervous at this moment.

His palms began to sweat.

In the past few days, it can be said that he has not been able to sleep peacefully at all.

First, natural disasters caused a sharp drop in food production, and later, they suffered a once-in-a-century flood.

The superposition of the two has resulted in countless hungry people.

The unscrupulous grain merchants hoarded their goods, which made the situation worse.

If His Majesty hadn't come up with a clever way to borrow food from the grain merchants some time ago, I am afraid that he would have been starved to death by now.

Right now, potatoes, a new crop, are going to be shown to the public for the first time, and its success or failure is directly related to the country and the common people of the Dacha Dynasty.

How could this make Jiang Qingyang not feel worried.

At this time, he was praying in his heart, hoping that the first acre of potatoes would have a bumper harvest.

During Hubu Shangshu's constant prayers, Nahan made a move.

Seeing him stretch out his hands, a powerful energy surged into the ground immediately.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, round potatoes emerged from the ground one after another.

The appearance of these potatoes immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After Hubu Shangshu saw a large number of potatoes unearthed, he was relieved.

Han Gongfeng was specially invited by him to carry out the public digging of potatoes this time.

Han Gongfeng himself is a strong man at the level of a god king, and he is also very good at controlling the energy of the earth attribute.

This method is very suitable for picking potatoes that grow in the ground.

Han Gongfeng didn't shirk this, because he knew it very well.

Whether the potatoes can be harvested this time is related to the food rations of hundreds of millions of people in the entire Great Grass Dynasty.

Under the divine power of Han Gongfeng, the potatoes in an entire acre of fields were soon completely dug out.

These potatoes do not need further cleaning at all, and the soil on them has been cleaned up by Han Gongfeng.

At this time, all the potatoes in this acre of field were piled up together, and it seemed that there were many.

Hubu Shangshu said in surprise: "It seems that the first acre of potatoes is at least sixty shi!"

Then he immediately ordered: "Come quickly, weigh yourself immediately!"
