The Lingnan war is still going on, but Gao Zixin in the palace is suddenly greeted with surprises one after another.

Corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are ripening one after another!

Because they are all grown in greenhouses and carefully taken care of every day, even though the season is not right, they still grow vigorously and bear fruit.

Because Zheng Yuan came from a later life and was also a cook, he is most familiar with these things.So ever since the corn cobs grew on the corn stalks, Zheng Yuan has become a frequent visitor to the greenhouse, visiting once a day.

So when the corn was just ripe and tender, he immediately notified Gao Zixin in a pleasant surprise.

Gao Zixin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately asked him: "How do you eat this corn? Do you boil it directly?" He had seen the copy of Lianyi's memory, and through Lianyi's memory, he knew some ways to eat it.

Zheng Yuan said directly: "Your Majesty, there are many ways to eat this kind of tender corn, whether it is boiled, roasted, deep-fried, or stir-fried, the taste is very good. Why don't you make some for Your Majesty to taste? "

Of course Gao Zixin would not refuse such a proposal, he was just curious about the taste of corn.

Zheng Yuan got his approval, and immediately went to the greenhouse to pick up a dozen plump corn cobs and picked them off, then took them directly to the kitchen and cooked several dishes.

It's just that he didn't make it on purpose because it was inconvenient to eat baked ones.

The corn was made quickly, and after only a quarter of an hour, the steaming corn was delivered to Gao Zixin.

Gao Zixin carefully put a little bit into his mouth, but as soon as he took a bite, he was fascinated by the tender and sweet taste of the corn.

"Well, the taste is really good!" Gao Zixin praised, tried the other ones, and found that they all tasted good, so he immediately ordered Zheng Yuan, "Zheng Yuan, remember to teach the recipe to the cooks in the imperial dining room. , and make some more to send to the queen mother, so that she can taste it too."

He Shi was stunned when he received the corn from the imperial dining room. After careful questioning, he was even more surprised when he learned that it was Gao Zixin's new food that Gao Zixin had been tossing in the greenhouse recently, and the yield was amazing.

She and Taiping looked at each other, and couldn't hide their excitement.

The biggest problem in Daliang today is that the grain output is too low. People in many places can't eat enough, even coarse grains. They can only eat bran and swallowed vegetables.

If this high-yield food can be popularized, it will not only save tens of millions of people, but Gao Zixin will also be able to sit back and relax as his emperor in the future, without worrying about someone rebelling.

No one would be foolish enough to overthrow a holy son who loves the people.

Without the support of the common people, those careerists will never be able to succeed, they will only become street rats!

Thinking of Gao Zixin's difficulties when he first succeeded to the throne, He's eyes turned red.She picked up a corn and put it into her mouth, bit it open gently, feeling the sweet taste of the corn, and immediately fell in love with it.

"Not bad! The emperor has a heart." He Shi didn't care where this new food came from. From her point of view, it was already very good for Gao Zixin to have such a thought.

"He's finally grown up."

Just speaking of this, He Shi couldn't help but sigh again, obviously handling political affairs is becoming more and more handy, and he is even better at making money.But why is her son so stubborn when it comes to the relationship between men and women!

What's so good about a tough man?Can't give birth again!

Thinking of Fengxuan who was far away in Lingnan, He Shi couldn't help gnashing his teeth.If she had known it would become like this, she shouldn't have let Feng Xuan stay by Gao Zixin's side.

That person's heart is too big, he wants to monopolize her son!

It's not that He's incomprehensible to Fengxuan's desire for monopoly, after all, she herself also wished to monopolize Taiping.However, she understood it, but she couldn't accept Gao Zixin's death because of this.

That is her precious son who was born with great difficulty. He is still so young and so outstanding, how can he die for a man?

The more He thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became, but when she thought of those women who were sent away by Gao Zixin, she became discouraged.

What else could she do?The person was also sent there, but Gao Zixin didn't like it. Could she still drug Gao Zixin and force him to do something?

No matter how much she wants to hug her grandson, she can't abuse her son like this.

As the corn matures, so do the potatoes and sweet potatoes.I don't know if it's the variety or the reason why I stayed in that magical planting space. Each potato and sweet potato plant has several, and the size is very large.

Once the potatoes and sweet potatoes are ripe, it's time for Zheng Yuan, the cook, to do his best.

Potatoes are good no matter whether they are braised in brown sauce, fried in shreds or made into mashed potatoes. Moreover, baked potatoes and baked sweet potatoes are particularly fragrant and attractive.

Gao Zixin only tasted it once, and he fell in love with the sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes, so he was happy, so he gave each of them a piece of roasted sweet potatoes in the morning.

The morning court was very early, so many courtiers almost didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so they could barely eat something to fill their stomachs, and hunger was inevitable.

Coupled with the fact that the weather was cold and there were no thick cotton coats, many people had already had red hands from the cold.

As soon as the steaming roasted sweet potatoes were delivered, as soon as these people smelled the tempting aroma, they began to sing about empty city plans one after another.When the roasted sweet potatoes are sent to the hands, the cold hands are immediately warmed up.

After the courtiers ate it and found that the food was quite full, many people's eyes lit up immediately.

Qian Yong was the most impolite, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, I wonder how the output of this product is? Can it be promoted among the people?"

When the others heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears quietly, waiting for Gao Zixin's answer.

Gao Zixin frowned deliberately: "The yield...it's really hard to say, after all, this thing is very precious, and I don't have much in my hands. So the specific yield will not be known until the harvest in Huangzhuang next year."

Very precious?Not much?

Qian Yong twitched his lips when he heard this, and looked at Gao Zixin silently - Your Majesty, I have already asked Qian Bi, you must not lie to me!

Gao Zixin pretended not to see anything, he coughed lightly, implying that everyone was talking about business.

However, Qian Yong didn't intend to let him go. Qian Yong asked again: "Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty has recently harvested corn and potatoes, which taste very good. Can you please let me have a good time?"

As soon as these words came out, the other courtiers couldn't help but glance at Qian Yong, wondering why Qian Yong, who had always been staid, would be so bold.

However, these people couldn't help pricking up their ears, waiting for Gao Zixin's answer.

Gao Zixin was dissatisfied, and wanted to try corn and potatoes?He doesn't have much in total, okay?Do you want to be so greedy?

Gao Zixin looked at Qian Yong very dissatisfied - this old thing is like a shark that smells of blood!

But being watched by so many pairs of eyes, it would be too stingy for him to refuse.So Gao Zixin said simply: "Qian Aiqing, your health is important, don't be gluttonous."

The translation is - you can't eat it even if I give it to you, don't be too greedy.

It's a pity that Qian Yong made up his mind to try corn and potatoes this time, and it was obviously not so easy to pass: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, I have always been in good health." Therefore, no matter how many ministers I can eat!

Gao Zixin was lucky, so he simply sent a piece of baked potato and boiled corn on the cob.

He did it on purpose, after all, baked potatoes are nothing more than boiled corn on the cob is not very elegant.

Qian Yong is a civil servant, so he must pay attention to his image, right?

As a result, as soon as the baked potatoes and boiled corn on the cob were brought up, the generals who hadn't eaten enough began to make noise.One and two were brazenly begging for food from Gao Zixin, one said "Your Majesty, you can't favor one over another", and the other said "Your Majesty is still hungry", Gao Zixin was so angry that he wanted to throw them all out.

In the end, everyone had to send out the same copy.

However, to Gao Zixin's surprise, Qian Yong gnawed corn on the cob directly in front of all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.He is not slow to eat, and even has a kind of boldness unique to generals.After eating, he just wiped his mouth and asked about the production of the three kinds of food.

In the end, Qian Yong even directly asked Gao Zixin for the seeds!

As soon as he took the lead, others immediately followed suit.

No way, Qian Yong's image of an old fox is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It must be a good thing to let him put on a face and not ask Gao Zixin directly!

Gao Zixin was lucky, so he didn't let himself explode.He stared at all the civil and military officials in the court, his cold eyes swept over their faces one by one, and finally said: "I am still ordering people to study this new food. When the research is completed, I will naturally give you seeds. Now It is not suitable for planting in the cold weather, so it is useless to talk about it.”

When they heard that they would not lose themselves, the courtiers finally calmed down.

However, they pursed their lips, recalling the taste just now, and suddenly felt that this kind of food tasted pretty good.

Even people like them don't find it difficult to swallow.

As soon as the morning was over, Gao Zixin regretted it so much, he ran back to the bedroom angrily, looked at the flower bud several times, and touched it lightly several times, finally he felt better.

"Hmph, those old foxes want to take advantage of me all day long, what a beautiful idea!"

The potatoes and sweet potato seeds in his hand are actually not many, but sweet potatoes have an advantage that they can be propagated by cuttings, and the vines can not only be used to raise pigs, but the tender tips can also be used as vegetables.

Moreover, sweet potato vines grow quite fast, and they grow back within a few days after cutting them off.

He didn't know about this at first, but Zheng Yuan reminded him.

Ever since Gao Zixin found out about this, he had more thoughts in his mind. Unfortunately, the time is not right. It is still cold and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. All things can only be unfolded in the next year.

Gao Zixin couldn't help sighing, time passed too slowly!
