Da Qin: Father!I really just want to protect myself!

I was so uncomfortable that I was about to cry.

Seeing this, Li Si was also very helpless, he let out a long sigh, and waved his hand, "Forget it, you go down."

Knowing that it was useless to embarrass the maidservant, Li Si didn't continue to get angry.

As if grasping at straws, the maid looked overjoyed and quickly bowed to Li Si, "Thank you, Prime Minister! Thank you, Prime Minister!"

After the words fell, she didn't dare to stay for a moment, and hurriedly left the palace.

Then Li Si sat down, but his eyes were full of anger, "Damn it! When I see His Majesty about today's matter, I must read a book!"

Li Si had secretly made up his mind that he must go to Ying Zheng to have a good talk about this matter, and let Ying Zheng clean up this arrogant Ying Lan.

······

This wait is an hour.

Then finally a footstep sounded.

Li Si looked up and finally saw Ying Lan walking in.

At this moment, he was sleepy-eyed, walking over while yawning, looking very comfortable.

Seeing Li Si, Ying Lan yawned again, and then said, "Prime Minister Li didn't say anything when he came, I'm sorry to make you wait for me."

Li Si snorted coldly, "Tell me? I can't even see you face to face. Where can I tell you the truth?"

"My mistake, it was my mistake!" Ying Lan looked apologetic, and then he seemed to think of something, and continued: "Next time before you come, let me know the time in advance, and I will calculate the time, and wait until you wake up." Let you come again."

Li Si:. . . . .

The more he saw Ying Lan's appearance, the angrier he became, "Forget it, there probably won't be such an opportunity in the future."

Li Si looked impatient.

If Ying Zheng hadn't ordered him to come and have a look, he would never have had any contact with Ying Lan.

As he said that, he looked at Yinglan, "Your Majesty told me to come over to help you take a look at something important. Go and see, I still have something to do!"

"A big deal?" Ying Lan's expression changed slightly.

But after a little thought, he had a conclusion in his mind.

Nothing but sweet potatoes.

Immediately, Ying Lan didn't write any ink, and stood up directly, "Come with me."

After saying that, Ying Lan walked towards the back garden, where sweet potatoes were grown.

Li Si followed behind him, but his expression was extremely impatient.

When they came to the back garden, Ying Lan was not in a hurry to get sweet potatoes, but took out a flint and lit it, and then started to make a fire.

Seeing Ying Lan's inexplicable operation, Li Si became even more impatient.

"My lord, you should stop wasting time with such idiots. I'm very busy. Let's settle things quickly so I can leave."

Ying Lan ignored him.

Blow a few puffs at will, and the fire will burn even more vigorously.

Immediately Ying Lan got up, and then began to dig the sweet potatoes in the soil.

Seeing that Ying Lan started digging the soil with his hands, Li Si was taken aback, and couldn't help but became puzzled, "What are you doing, sir?"

Ying Lan was too lazy to answer, but continued to dig the soil.

Soon, he planed out a few sweet potatoes.

Looking at the huge sweet potato, Li Si was also interested, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

As the prime minister, he still has a certain understanding of food crops.

But it was the first time he had seen this sweet potato.

Ying Lan picked up a sweet potato, wiped off the dirt on it, and then threw it beside the fire, and then covered it with charcoal.

"sweet potato."

While roasting sweet potatoes, Ying Lan replied calmly.

"Sweet potato?" Li Si's expression became even more puzzled.

He has seen many food crops, but this is the first time he has heard of sweet potatoes.

Of course I don't know what it is.

Ying Lan didn't want to explain too much, but put the remaining sweet potatoes into the fire, and then started to roast the sweet potatoes.

Li Si looked at the sweet potato and began to think about it.

Could it be that what His Majesty ordered to help has something to do with this sweet potato?

Counting the time, Ying Lan planed the charcoal, and then took out the roasted sweet potatoes.

And looking at the sweet potato that was much bigger than a fist, Li Si also became curious.

It's the first time I've seen you, so it's normal to be curious.

The second is the aroma that floats over after the sweet potatoes are baked, it is really delicious!

Just when Li Si was distracted, Ying Lan's voice came, "I must be hungry after waiting for so long, come and have a taste together."

Li Si snorted coldly, "I'm here to confirm what His Majesty said, not to eat!"

Ying Lan smiled, "Yo!"

"Iron bones!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Si could only hear his stomach growl.

The two looked at each other, and the scene was a little awkward.

It's not Li Si's fault.

He got up early in the morning to deal with official business, and he didn't find time to find Yinglan until noon, and he didn't care about eating at all.

But I didn't expect that Ying Lan could sleep so well, and didn't even wake up at noon, and kept Li Si waiting for so long.

For such a long time, if there is no reaction from the stomach at all, then it is completely abnormal.

After a while, Li Si sat down next to Ying Lan, holding a peeled sweet potato in his hand.

"Just eat it." Ying Lan reminded.

Taking a look at Ying Lan, Li Si didn't hesitate, took a bite of the sweet potato and began to chew it.

The next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, "The taste is soft and glutinous, and the taste is mellow. What is this?"

Li Si looked at the sweet potato in his hand in shock.

Chapter 43 Don't Force It

"Sweet potato." Ying Lan replied indifferently, taking a bite of the sweet potato and chewing.

He hasn't eaten yet, so he is naturally happy to eat a mouthful of sweet roasted sweet potatoes after waking up.

"Sweet potatoes... really fragrant!"

Muttering, Li Si took another bite of the sweet potato and began to chew.

Perhaps because of his hunger, Li Si ate quickly.

He ate the sweet potatoes, which were much bigger than his hand, in two or three bites, and then he was satisfied.

Seeing this, Ying Lan silently handed over another sweet potato, "You're welcome."

Li Si's face was serious, "I'm the prime minister."

Ying Lan frowned, and looked at Li Si with a slightly puzzled expression, "Is there a rule that the prime minister can't eat sweet potatoes?"

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he took the sweet potato and put it in his pocket, "That's right."

Originally, he didn't bother to eat Ying Lan's food.

But sweet potatoes are so fragrant!

Putting away the sweet potatoes, Li Si's eyes fell on Ying Lan, and then he began to look serious, "Sir, stop beating around the bush, and just say what His Majesty ordered."

After the words fell, Ying Lan didn't hide anymore, "I want you to help me grow sweet potatoes."

"Planting sweet potatoes?!" Li Si's eyes widened, and he even wondered if he heard it wrong.

Immediately, he couldn't help but screamed, "I am a majestic prime minister! Your Majesty asked me to help you grow sweet potatoes?!"

Compared to Li Si's excitement, Ying Lan's expression was much calmer, "There is no rule that the Prime Minister cannot grow sweet potatoes."

However, Li Si didn't bother to pay attention to him, and snorted coldly, "Let someone else do this kind of thing! I still have a lot of important things to deal with, how can I waste time on such things!"

Faced with Li Si's reaction, Yinglan didn't panic, but said calmly: "Prime Minister Li doesn't want to, and I don't force it. There should be many people who are willing to do this."

"I don't know what's so special about it, His Majesty actually asked me to come..."

"Forget it, since the young master doesn't force it, then the humble minister will step back first!" Li Si raised his foot and was about to leave.

Ying Lan didn't keep him either, and just replied indifferently: "Nothing special, but the yield per mu is only four thousand catties."

As if hearing Yinglan's words, Li Si raised his feet and nailed them in the air, and his body froze immediately.

He turned his head slightly, "How much?"

"The yield per mu is four thousand catties." Ying Lan replied lightly.

Li Si's pupils shrank sharply, and his face was even more shocked as he looked at Ying Lan, "Your Excellency, are you joking?!"

Li Si would know about the output of the Daqin's grain crops every year.

As far as the past is concerned, being able to produce several hundred catties per mu is already a blessing to God.

But when Yinglan opened his mouth, it turned out to be four thousand catties per mu, which naturally made Li Si feel unbelievable.

After all, this is not something that was planted by the gods.

Faced with doubts, Ying Lan didn't bother to explain, "If there are so many, you will know if you try it yourself."

Then Li Si was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized that he walked quickly towards that sweet potato place.

Then he stretched out his hand and started digging the soil, and soon a sweet potato came out.

Immediately after he held it with one hand, he began to weigh the sweet potato carefully, and then his pupils shrank slightly involuntarily.

"This size...this weight...it is indeed possible to produce [-] catties per mu." After experiencing it himself, Li Si also found that Ying Lan's words were not false.

"And if it's really such an output, then this sweet potato..." Thinking, Li Si's pupils shrank, his face was even more shocked, and he looked at the sweet potato in his hand.

As the prime minister, he naturally knew the role of this sweet potato.

The most basic thing is people's livelihood.

With this sweet potato, there will definitely be no shortage of food in Daqin, and naturally no one will go hungry.

And then there's the economy.

With sweet potatoes, all kinds of transactions will definitely be active. As long as there are trade transactions, the economy will be active.

When the economy improves, the national strength will naturally increase, and it will be a huge improvement.

Just hearing this, Li Si already knew exactly what kind of treasure this sweet potato is.

"Since Prime Minister Li doesn't have time, there's nothing I can do. I'd better see who else can appreciate such an inconspicuous job." Ying Lan stood up and was about to leave.

Li Si panicked when he saw this, and immediately blocked Ying Lan's way, "Sir, stay!"

Looking at Li Si in front of him, Ying Lan showed a puzzled expression, "What are you doing?"

A smile appeared on Li Si's face, "Weichen thought about this matter just now, and I think it's better to help the young master!"

Ying Lan's expression remained flat, "No."

Li Si was taken aback, "Why?"

"I have to follow your wishes!" Ying Lan looked at Li Si seriously, as if he really thought about Li Si.

However, Li Si didn't understand what Yinglan meant when he heard this sentence.

Seeing that Li Si was puzzled, Ying Lan continued, "You said you didn't want it just now, didn't you?"
