Iron Dynasty

Outside the palace, Fiji and Pang Yukun walked side by side.

The scolded Fiji said depressedly: Hey, His Highness's temper is really elusive. Did I say something wrong? Since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties have been like this to foreign vassal states.

Elder Feige, no matter right or wrong, but at least it's wrong for His Highness, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that what His Highness said is not wrong, such as the Three Mountains Kingdom, if we still treat it in the previous way, this will not happen. It will definitely fall into the hands of Japanese pirates again in a few days, and once the Japanese pirates have sufficient supplies of food and grass, they will inevitably invade. At that time, our kindness will be cruel to the people of the Great Yu Kingdom. If you say this, Your Highness does not think at all. wrong.

It makes sense for you to say that. Fiji was somewhat enlightened, But the face of Da Yuguo?

Can you eat your face? Pang Yukun said something Xiao Ming often said.

Fiji opened his mouth and sighed deeply, It seems that I have to go to Bowen College to read the book again, maybe I can understand His Highness's thoughts.

The two were talking when they suddenly saw Li Kaiyuan walking towards the palace with two people carrying a basket of things.

Pang Yukun stopped him and asked, What is this?

Sweet potatoes. Li Kaiyuan wiped his sweat and said, and he delivered the batch of sweet potatoes just after they were unloaded from the merchant ship.

Pang Yukun's eyes widened immediately, Is this a sweet potato?

Yes, the Dutch merchant ship was delivered to Dengzhou, and I will bring it back as soon as possible. Li Kaiyuan said, and the greeter was about to leave.

Fiji looked at the somewhat demented Pang Yukun and asked, Pang Shoufu, why are you so excited?

Because this thing is more productive than potatoes. Pang Yukun burst into tears, It seems that in the future, Da Yu will not starve to death.

Higher yield than potatoes? Fiji was also surprised, and he looked at the things in the box, but Li Kaiyuan took the people away.

Entering the palace, Li Kaiyuan directly found Xiao Ming.

His Royal Highness, this is the sweet potato sent by the Dutch. Li Kaiyuan said, pointing to the sweet potato piled in the bamboo basket.

The sweet potato is here. Xiao Ming was depressed, but the moment he saw the sweet potato, his mood instantly rose.

I arrived in Dengzhou three days ago, and I sent someone to send it to the shore. Your Highness, can this thing really be worth 30 stones per mu? Li Kaiyuan still didn't believe it.

Of course, this can still be fake. Now potatoes have proved themselves, and now this king will let sweet potatoes prove themselves. Xiao Ming said happily, in his opinion, sweet potatoes are more valuable than potatoes.

The preservation of potatoes is still a problem, but sweet potatoes can be cut into slices and dried into dried sweet potatoes. When he was young, he often ate dried sweet potatoes, and the old man at that time said that they also ate this when they were young, and even they ate sweet potato leaves. made buns.

Li Kaiyuan nodded, If this is the case, with potatoes and sweet potatoes, the food problem of the closed country can be solved.

How can it be so simple, we have to wait until it is popularized. Xiao Ming said with a smile, sufficient food means population growth.

In the era of great voyages, it was the stage of the population explosion in the West, and he could not fall behind, because in his opinion, after the end of the civil war in Da Yu, the population would inevitably decline on a large scale, and with sufficient food, he would Fertility can be encouraged.

Looking at the sweet potatoes in the basket, Xiao Ming was happy but also a little jealous. He hadn't eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time. At this moment, Aster passed by outside the main hall. Xiao Ming stopped her and asked her to put the sweet potatoes. Take it to the pantry and bake it.

Your Highness, is this sweet potato? Aster's eyes rolled.

How could Xiao Ming not know what this girl was thinking? He told them about the deliciousness of sweet potatoes on weekdays, so he said, There are a lot of sweet potatoes, you can just take a few and eat them when the time comes.

Thank you, Your Highness. Aster said happily.

After the sweet potatoes were delivered, Li Kaiyuan had nothing to do, and left the palace with a resignation.

At this time, Xiao Ming also returned to the bedroom with a smile on his face.

At this time, Fei Yue'er was reading a book. Seeing Xiao Ming so happy, Fei Yue'er smiled and said, What makes Your Highness so happy.

Li Kaiyuan sent sweet potatoes, and the Three Mountains Kingdom is about to send grain. Now the grain of the Fengguo will be harvested soon, and the potatoes will also be harvested in autumn. In this way, the grain of the Fengguo will be richer. Xiao Mingyue The happier he thinks, the people take food as their heaven. With this food, he no longer has to be afraid of anything.

Fei Yue'er was also happy for Xiao Ming when she heard it. When she first came to Qingzhou, she thought she would have a hard life, but she did not expect that Qingzhou's life would be more comfortable than Chang'an.

Congratulations, Your Highness. Fei Yue'er smiled.

Xiao Ming suddenly felt proud when he heard the words, the construction of the feudal kingdom was progressing steadily, and his heart became more and more stable.

...

While the two were talking, the pantry had turned into a pot of porridge, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes attracted Luluo and Xiaohuan.

After learning that this was the sweet potato in Xiao Ming's mouth, the two girls suddenly became greedy and rushed to grab it. Aster looked helpless, but she didn't bother to care, because he took a big sweet potato beforehand and laughed. After a while, she took a light bite, and suddenly the sweetness and fragrance spread in her mouth. The taste was much stronger than that of boiled potatoes. At this time, Luluo and Xiaohuan also tasted deliciously.

Your Highness is really capable, you can get such delicious food. Aster ate several mouthfuls in a row, and then sighed with satisfaction.

Luluo eats the fastest. After eating what was in her mouth, she narrowed her eyes with enjoyment. Then she looked at the sweet potato in Aster's hand and said unwillingly, Sister Aster, can you finish eating such a big sweet potato? I Let's help you eat together.

You, you! Aster gave Luluo a white look and gave her a part, His Royal Highness is right, you are a snack foodie.

Luluo doesn't care, she will be happy if she eats it.

The sweet potatoes were baked, and naturally they were also sent to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming saw the sweet potatoes on the plate. It was not so new. After all, he did not eat less of these things in modern times, but Fei Yue’er was different. Put it in your mouth.

Xiao Ming took it with his empty hands and said, Peel the skin before eating. After speaking, he peeled off the skin of the sweet potato and gave it to Fei Yue'er.

After taking it with a smile, Fei Yue'er took a light bite, chewed lightly, and said in her mouth, Well, it's delicious!

Xiao Ming also picked up a sweet potato and ate it. Like potatoes, sweet potatoes are a powerful tool to solve famine. After sufficient food, they will not be regarded as staple food. Potatoes are used for cooking, and sweet potatoes become a snack material. .

Halfway through eating, Fei Yue'er felt choked and hurriedly drank a few sips of water. It was the first time she ate it, she felt very delicious, but sweet potatoes, like potatoes, are more choking when eaten dry, but I have to say, This sweet potato is really delicious.
