The happy life of a prodigal

After hearing this, Emperor Chu was slightly taken aback, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he only said one word: "Okay!"

Then, he turned to look at the soldier holding the roasted sweet potato, and said, "Wrap it in paper, give it to me to taste."

"This......"

Hearing this, the soldier showed hesitation on his face, and he didn't dare to agree, but looked at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng was also very hesitant, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chu frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Could it be that I have reached the age where I can't even eat hot food?

Then what Jiangnan do I still want? "

Hearing this, the soldier knew that His Majesty would be angry if this continued.

So, not daring to hesitate any longer, he went to find paper, wrapped part of the sweet potato, and presented it to the Emperor Chu.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Chu Huang reached out to take the sweet potato, and took a small bite carefully.

His face changed instantly!

Chapter 698 You Can't Eat Too Much

Seeing the change of Emperor Chu's expression, the others were slightly taken aback, and all became nervous.

Is there something wrong with this sweet potato?

For a moment, everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound.

At this time, Emperor Chu suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

"It's the first time I've eaten such a delicious thing!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

The majestic Son of Heaven!

What does it mean to say such a thing?

For a moment, everyone was in a trance, and they didn't believe it at all.

How could a small roasted sweet potato, something common people eat to satisfy their hunger, be so delicious?

If it is true as His Majesty said, then wouldn't this sweet potato become something that can only be found in the sky?

They all want to taste it, but there is only one baked sweet potato.

For a while, they couldn't say anything, let alone dared to say anything.

Until Chu Huang ate all the sweet potatoes.

Only then did they dare to speak: "Your Majesty, can I have a taste of this roasted sweet potato?"

Chu Huang glanced at them, smiled on his face, waved his hands and said, "Of course!"

With a wave of his hand, the farmer next to him roasted a lot of sweet potatoes.

Give each of these guards and eunuchs one.

After these people ate it, their faces all changed.

It's... really so delicious?

They didn't think of it at all.

A small sweet potato is really so delicious.

God!

This......

Even though they have been with His Majesty for many years and have seen a lot, they don't know what to say.

At the same time, everyone was shocked.

They are also all knowledgeable people, so they naturally know what it means for this sweet potato to be so delicious.

The rise of Great Chu is now!

Emperor Chu thought so too, and he was in an extremely good mood. Looking at the farmer, he laughed and said, "This sweet potato is good, good!"

After a pause, I couldn't help laughing again, "Okay, okay!"

Saying three good words in a row is enough to explain his current mood.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they were all very happy.

Only those farmers are completely confused.

A small sweet potato, what is that?

Not to mention those nobles, but ordinary farmers like them eat as much as they want, and there is nothing to take care of.

Why do these people seem to have eaten such a delicious thing for the first time?

It is said that it is good to be an emperor, and it is good to be an emperor.

Now it seems that it is not so good.

After all, the majestic emperor had never eaten a single sweet potato.

Many farmers thought so in their hearts, and shook their heads involuntarily, looking at Emperor Chu with a somewhat sympathetic expression.

Chu Huang didn't notice all this at all.

At this moment, he put all his heart and soul on the sweet potato.

Today, sweet potatoes are only planted in this small suburb outside Gusu City. What kind of scene will it be if the cultivation of sweet potatoes is promoted in various state capitals?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu fell silent.

After a while, he waved his hand and said, "I just baked a sweet potato with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The guards left.

Seeing this scene, the farmer was even more convinced of his guess, but he stood up and stopped him: "Your Majesty, although this sweet potato is delicious, you can't eat too much of it.

If you eat too much, your stomach will become bloated. "

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chu looked at the farmer and asked, "Really?"

The farmer nodded and said: "We have tried it before, and the feeling of flatulence is uncomfortable..."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he hesitated.

If it is true what the farmer said.

If you eat too much sweet potato, you will get flatulence.

So, it seems that it cannot replace the staple food.

but......

Flatulence is not a big problem, it's better than being hungry and having nothing to eat.

Emperor Chu thought about it, but didn't know how to make a choice.

Should we promote sweet potatoes throughout Chu State, or plant some sweet potatoes and some rice.

Emperor Chu hesitated.

However, the people who followed him were no one from the household department, and no one could give him advice.

In fact, even the people from the household department have no way to give him advice.

Those guys who only care about others all day long, have they ever been to the ground?

Ever dig a sweet potato?

Ever grow rice?

What do they know?

Obviously it is the Ministry of Households, which is in charge of the world's money and food, but how many of these people don't even know what the food is like, and how much rice is produced per mu?

I'm afraid it's a lot!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu suddenly understood.

Why did Fang Xiu insist on reforming the imperial examinations?

The purpose is for this!

Practice is always the most important!

Only by experiencing it for yourself can you understand this truth.

This is the case with Emperor Chu.

After what happened just now, digging sweet potatoes in the field, Chu Huang also strengthened his belief in reforming the imperial examination.

But whether this sweet potato should be promoted or not.

Emperor Chu himself couldn't figure it out.

He hesitated for a while, then sighed, looked at Liu Cheng, and ordered: "Pass the letter to Marquis Xin'an, and ask him if this sweet potato can replace rice."

This is a very important issue, which is related to the future development of Chu State.

After Liu Cheng heard this, a serious expression appeared on his face, and he hurriedly bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will do it now!"

............

Fangfu.

Fang Xiu lay on the chair, basking in the sun.

It's the vernal equinox and the weather is just right.

Fang Xiu would come out to bask in the sun every few days.

Of course, during this time, he really had nothing to do.

Occasionally go to the academy to see the children reading.

Occasionally go to the Shenji Camp to watch the soldiers train.

Then he took Liu Qing, Fang Ru and Lin Wanqing to the outskirts of the city to fly a kite.

All in all, it's very relaxing.

Of course, even so, the old guys in the cabinet didn't want him to be so leisurely.

Ask him again and again when he will go to the cabinet.

At first, Fang Xiu replied and refused, but later he simply didn't care about it.

Send and ask whatever you want, I just don’t reply to you.

Besides.

There was also a much-discussed incident in the capital.

There is no doubt that it is naturally the assassin a few days ago.

It is not a particularly strange thing for Xin Anhou to encounter an assassin.

Because, in this short period of one year.

Marquis Xin An seemed to have encountered assassins twice already, counting this time, it was already the third time.

The onlookers have long been used to it.

They all knew that Marquis Xin An had offended many people.

It is very normal for someone to send an assassin.

However, this time is different!

Because it is not certain whether the assassin's target is Xin Anhou or not.

His Royal Highness King Kang was at the side of Marquis Xin'an at that time!
