The happy life of a prodigal

This is probably the case for the talent of the throne.

No matter where you put him, he can surprise you.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu smiled.

This is a gift from God to him!

"Your Majesty, you must be hungry after a long journey. Would you like some food for you?"

Yan Song stood beside Chu Huang and said.

Emperor Chu waved his hand and said, "It's not long since I ate sweet potatoes and fire."

Huoshao is a specialty of Linze Prefecture.

What is this sweet potato?

Yan Song was slightly taken aback, it was the first time he had heard of this sweet potato.

It seems that when His Majesty disguised himself as a merchant just now, he mentioned this sweet potato.

"Your Majesty, do you know... what this sweet potato is?"

Standing beside Chu Huang, Yan Song finally couldn't help it, and asked curiously.

When Emperor Chu heard this, he also reacted.

There is another important thing to do in Linze Mansion this time.

Just grow sweet potatoes!

Chapter 7 Wasteland can also be planted

Emperor Chu raised his eyes, glanced at him, and replied: "This is a kind of grain that Marquis Xin'an planted outside Gusu City. The yield per mu can reach [-] catties, and it is very delicious."

When Yan Song heard this, he was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, a disbelieving expression appeared on his face.

"I used to be the servant of the household department, and I still know a little about money and grain. The yield of wheat per mu is only about four to five hundred catties.

This is still a good harvest.

Excuse me bluntly, no matter what, it is impossible for the sweet potato to reach an output of seven thousand catties. "

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was not angry, but smiled instead.

the reason is simple.

Yan Song's thoughts are the same as his original thoughts.

In other words, as long as they are normal people, they will feel abnormal when they hear this news.

The output of seven thousand catties...

How is that possible?

But, that's the truth!

The Emperor Chu looked at Yan Song with a smile on his face, and asked, "Yan Song, why do you think I would suddenly choose to come to Jiangnan at this time?"

Yan Song was slightly taken aback and fell silent.

After a while, he just thought of something, and with a surprised expression on his face, he asked, "Your Majesty came to Jiangnan because of this sweet potato?"

Chu Huang smiled without saying a word.

Needless to say, Yan Song naturally knows about the latter.

Since His Majesty has been to Jiangnan, he must have seen it with his own eyes.

If it is His Majesty, I will not believe it.

Then there is no one who can be trusted in the big Chu country!

Thinking of this, Yan Song had an unbelievable expression on his face.

Seven thousand catties per mu...

How is this possible?

How did Xin Anhou discover this kind of grain?

Could it be that Marquis Xin'an is an immortal?

It is precisely because he was in charge of the transfer department that Yan Song understands the concept of seven thousand catties per mu better than others.

Therefore, it was such a shock at this moment.

That's seven thousand catties!

Seven thousand catties!

How many people can it benefit?

Among other things, this is Linze Mansion...

It can be said that Yan Song has experienced all the psychological journeys that Emperor Chu has experienced at this moment.

Chu Huang was on the side, watching Yan Song's expression constantly changing, and found it interesting.

He waved his hand and said, "Liu Cheng, go and bake a sweet potato for Mr. Yan to taste."

Liu Cheng hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The steward next to him hurriedly said, "Eunuch Liu, come with me..."

Liu Cheng left with sweet potatoes.

In just a moment, I brought back the sweet potatoes that were already baked.

As soon as the roasted sweet potatoes arrived in the house, an aroma began to permeate.

Yan Song's eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrance.

It is food indeed!

And it smells, it should taste good!

"Try it." Chu Huang looked at Yan Song and said.

Liu Cheng next to him hurriedly handed the sweet potato to Yan Song.

Yan Song reached out to take it, and took a deep breath.

Immediately, I felt refreshed.

Then, I took a sip.

His eyes lit up again.

It's so delicious?

With an unbelievable expression on Yan Song's face, he looked at Emperor Chu and said, "Your Majesty... with this sweet potato, I am a big Chu... hopeful!"

When Emperor Chu heard this, he nodded.

In the past few days, his mood has calmed down a little.

but.

When he first saw the sweet potato and tasted the sweet potato, his performance was no different from that of Yan Song.

After Yan Song ate the sweet potatoes, he seemed to think of something, looked up at Emperor Chu, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to grow sweet potatoes in Linze Mansion?"

Your Majesty never does anything aimlessly.

Since His Majesty was a merchant in disguise who wanted to buy land in Linze Mansion just now.

There is naturally a deep meaning behind it.

There is no doubt that sweet potatoes are grown here in Linze Prefecture.

"Yes!" Emperor Chu did not deny it, and nodded slightly.

Yan Song got an affirmative answer, but his face was full of embarrassment.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this sweet potato is indeed a good thing, but Linze Mansion... Linze Mansion doesn't have much fertile land!

I'm afraid there is no way to grow this sweet potato.

Then the wheat that had grown successfully was also destroyed...

So there is a problem. "

There is only one reason why Linze Prefecture has become the most prosperous city in Central Plains...

The location of Linze Mansion is relatively good.

The distances from the state capitals of Zhongyuan Road to Linze Prefecture are about the same.

Therefore, merchants generally gather in Linze Mansion.

But Linze Mansion still has a problem.

That is, there are few fertile fields.

Most of the surrounding area is wasteland.

Therefore, there are very few farmers here.

The few acres of fertile land are planted with wheat.

This is still the result of countless years of hard work by countless farmers.

If you suddenly switch to sweet potatoes, some problems will inevitably arise.

When Emperor Chu heard this, his expression did not change at all.

the reason is simple.

The reason why Linze Mansion was chosen to grow sweet potatoes is precisely because there are wastelands nearby.

There are few fertile fields.

What Emperor Chu wanted was such a wasteland!

Because the letter Fang Xiu left for him clearly stated.

This sweet potato does not need fertile land.

Planting on fertile land is a waste of fertile land.

The reason why I chose to plant in the suburbs of Gusu City was because of the scarcity of the quantity.

Now that the number is large, it can be planted on wasteland.

Emperor Chu originally wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he found it really troublesome.

So, looking at Liu Cheng, he said, "Where's the letter from Marquis Xin'an and Du Mingbo? Show it to Master Yan."

Liu Cheng hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, he took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Yan Song.

Yan Song was curious.

Marquis Xin'an, he knew it.

But who is this Du Mingbo?

Is it a person's name, or a title?

It sounds like a title.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be an earl in Du Ming's mansion, right?

Could it be newly sealed?

I haven't heard of any recent conflicts between the imperial court and the Fourth Department of the Grassland. How can a new earl be appointed?

Yan Song couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it, but reached out and took the letter.

From top to bottom, browse carefully.

In just a moment, surprise appeared on his face, and he blurted out: "This sweet potato doesn't need fertile land, it can be grown on wasteland!?"
