Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

Kangxi suppressed his excitement, but he couldn't bear his surprise, and his breathing still couldn't be even for a long time.He squatted down, grabbed a sweet potato and couldn't help but marvel: "It's so big, and there are so many in a bunch..."

The joy in the voice cannot be concealed.

Xu Laoer laughed: "Where is this much? It's not yet harvest time! By this time next month, the amount may more than double. Each one is the size of a fist, and the largest one needs to be held in both hands." Let's go!"

These words made everyone present gasp.

Kangxi used his hands hard. Does this sentence mean that it is not yet the harvest season?He rolled his throat, and for a moment he felt unable to tell whether what Xu Laoer said was true or not.

Yinzhen tugged at the corner of Kangxi's robe: "Ah—father, isn't it only a month's work anyway?"

"Yes, yes!" Kangxi nodded.

He tried his best to stabilize his mind and asked a question: "If you can hit the south side, can you hit the north side?"

Xu Lao Er smiled and said: "We can harvest sweet potatoes twice a year here! As for the north, I heard that they can be harvested once, but I haven't tried it. Mr. Chen told us."

"This Mr. Chen is...?"

"This Mr. Chen is from Changle Township—Changle Township is not far from our place. I heard that Mr. Chen's ancestors brought it back from Luzon during the previous dynasty, so we all call it sweet potato." Xu Lao Er He answered with a smile, and after a pause, he added: "Speaking of which, Mr. Chen once mentioned that some people from Guangdong brought back sweet potatoes, and we want to travel with them to promote sweet potatoes!"

Kangxi's heart was surging.

When he didn't know, some people were running around for the food and clothing of the people, and these contents made people feel warm.

It is true that some people make a lot of ill-gotten wealth by doing business overseas through corruption and accepting bribes, and some people bring back things that benefit the country and the people by going to sea.Like is killing someone with a knife the fault of the knife?of course not!Is it the fault of going to sea to take bribes by going to sea?Of course not.

Kangxi didn't think sweet potatoes were dirty or ugly at all.

He fondled the rough skin of the sweet potato, and asked, "Can you give us some of the sweet potato's neutrons?"

"...This..." Second Xu scratched his hair.

Don't you want to?

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Xu Lao Er quickly waved his hands: "This sweet potato has no neutrons, and this sweet potato has neutrons. Cut it into pieces and hang it in the water basin until the seedlings grow and then move them to the ground."

Kangxi blinked.

Xu Lao Er smiled and said: "It's that simple, if you have to quickly pull out a seedling and plant it in the ground, it will grow, but the survival rate is not high enough."

Good medium, simple, high yield.

This sweet potato is simply a treasure from heaven, and I followed Xu Laoer to visit the warehouse where they stored it. Looking at the sweet potatoes stuffed to the brim, Kangxi was relieved.

All this is not a dream, it is real!

Seemingly very happy that the nobleman accepted sweet potatoes, the old man enthusiastically ordered the villagers to put a basket of sweet potatoes into the carriage, and watched them go.

Kangxi and his party, who returned to the Admiral's Mansion, were surrounded by a group of people including Yinti and Shangshu Kerkun.If it wasn't for the fact that the emperor's personal visit to the Fuzhou mansion was still a secret, Shi Lang, the admiral of the navy who didn't return yesterday, would join other yamen to start looking for the emperor's trace.

Even so, several guard teams had already left Fuzhou City in the morning to search. Fortunately, soon someone discovered that the emperor's carriage was heading towards Fuzhou City, which made everyone's hearts fall to the ground.

Kangxi smiled and waved away everyone.

The joy in his brows and eyes can be seen at a glance, which made Yinti and many officials curious.Yinti couldn't help holding Yinzhen: "What's wrong with Khan Ama?"

"Good thing, great thing!" Yinzhen replied mysteriously.What can Yinti guess after only saying these few words?He was still confused when he followed up!

Kangxi did not mention sweet potatoes either.

In the next few days, he first arranged for people to go to Changle Township, Fuzhou, and Humen, Guangdong to find people who promoted sweet potatoes. After confirming that there were indeed such people, he ordered his guards to escort them to Fuzhou, and at the same time investigated the status of officials around Fuzhou.

It was not until three days before the military exercise that Kangxi gathered everyone.

This time, the local officials of Fuzhou Prefecture were also on the list. Hearing that the emperor had stayed in the Admiral’s Mansion for more than a month, the officials headed by the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Wang Xinming and the prefect of Fuzhou Wang Jing were shocked.

Especially Wang Zhen, the prefect of Fuzhou.

He immediately received shocking and even incredulous looks from many of his colleagues, including Shangfeng Wang Xinming—is that right?The emperor has stayed in Fuzhou City for so long, don't you know?

Fuzhou prefect Wang Zhen: …………

He felt uneasy and couldn't help thinking about the recent events carefully.Fortunately, the city of Fuzhou has always had good law and order, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As far as Wang Jue remembers, there have been no cases in the past few months.

Kangxi did not pay attention to the small actions of the officials.

He first listened to the report from Yinti and others about the arrangement of the military exercise, then read some memorials sent from the capital, expressed his joy about the cement research, and finally talked about the shipping.

After a series of things were finished, it was almost noon.At this moment, a strong and unprecedented fragrance wafted in from outside, making many officials who had been too worried to eat since last night feel hungry.

Kangxi also stopped talking at the right time.

He smiled and asked: "Are you hungry in your belly?"

They didn't need to say anything, the continuous cooing sound directly answered the emperor's question.Before the officials could plead guilty, Kangxi laughed, clapped his hands and a group of palace officials pushed the door open and entered immediately.

The palace people held the plum blossom tray in both hands, and walked to the adults with lowered eyebrows.Many officials looked surprised, and looked up at the trays, and saw that the contents of each tray were exactly the same, and they were all several exquisite pastries in different shapes, such as pastries in the shape of hemp balls, or pastries in block shape , or slices of dim sum...

The only thing that is different is a high-quality celadon bowl, which contains a brown-red skin... something.

"Dear friends, try it."

"My servant/slave, thank you for your grace." Many officials responded respectfully.

Try the dim sum that is similar to hemp balls first.

Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside - Huh?Wang Xinming, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, looked at the inside in surprise: "Is there still stuffing?"

The soft and sweet filling pours into the mouth, and the three layers of completely different textures and tastes make people linger.There is also the second dim sum, the third dim sum... How can I say that these dim sum are very similar to sesame balls or glutinous rice cakes, but they have a fresh taste in them.

All eyes turned to the last celadon bowl.

From Yinti to Wang Xinming, from Wang Xinming to Shi Lang, everyone understands that maybe this is the truth.

How to do it?

They picked up the celadon bowls and stared at the sweet potatoes in front of them in a little bewilderment.

Seeing this, Xu Zhen grabbed the sweet potato and tried to dress up.

The golden potato meat immediately appeared in front of everyone, and at the same time, there was a fragrant and sweet aroma, which swept the room and made everyone's stomach growl again.

Yinti licked his dry lips.

He took the sweet potato carefully, tore off the thin skin and bit it down.The sweet potato meat instantly melted in the mouth, and the sweet and fragrant taste was surprising. The eldest brother swallowed it in one bite, and couldn't wait to take the second and third bites.

Big Brother eats so sweetly.

This sight made the rest of the officials swallow their saliva, and they imitated the elder brother's movements, clumsily tearing off the outer skin and biting down.

"Well……"

"good to eat!"

"So sweet! So sticky!"

"Isn't this sweet taste amazing?"

Exclamations were heard.

The only one who had a strange expression was the prefect of Fuzhou, Wang Ye. He tasted it as soon as he took a bite and it was sweet potato. .

Kangxi's expression remained unchanged.

He called out Fuzhou prefect Wang Jue with a pleasant face: "Does Wang Aiqing know about this thing?"

The magistrate of Fuzhou, Wang Zhen, should be respectful.

He smiled embarrassingly: "I do know about this product. This product is not uncommon in Guangdong and Fujian. It tastes sweet and easy to fill the stomach. The only problem... um... is that eating too much will cause bad breath."

Yinti's face froze.

Not surprisingly, he also remembered the embarrassment of that year, and looked at Yinzhen with fire in his eyes.He lowered his voice: "Yinzhen——" Brat!

However, before Yinti could say the questioning words, Yinzhen covered him and dragged him aside together with Yinzhi.

Yinti: ...? ? ?

Those who reacted strongly were the officials who were praising the deliciousness of sweet potatoes just now, and their faces changed drastically.

Bad breath?

If it happened in front of the emperor, it would be called inappropriate before the emperor!They stopped chewing in unison, put the remaining sweet potatoes back into the plate without any trace, and after secretly counting the amount they just ate, each of them vigilantly...cough cough...tighten a certain part .

hang on!You must hold on to my belly!

Yinzhen and Yinzhi stared at Wang Zhen, the prefect of Fuzhou, with the eyes of a brave man, and booed at Yinti.

Yinti's expression was a little bewildered.

After seeing Yinzhen and Yinzhi covering their ears nervously, and shrunk into the corner, he also shivered when he minimized his sense of existence.

Could it be that this sweet potato is such an amazing thing! ?

At the moment when Yinti's thoughts fell, Kangxi spoke again.His smile is as warm as a spring breeze, and his voice is as warm as the sun: "Does Wang Aiqing know how this plant is planted, what is the yield, and how many times a year can it be planted?"

How could the prefect of Fuzhou, Wang Zhen, know this.

He was born in a family of officials, and he lived a life of luxury and wealth since he was a child. He tasted the sweet potato that produces bad smell because he sneaked out when he was young and ignorant. There is no way to know.

What's more important is that if you know the yield of rice, wheat and other crops that can fill your stomach, you will get it. What do you know?Fuzhou prefect Wang Hao was full of doubts, and shook his head in embarrassment: "I... don't know."

Kangxi's smile became more and more gentle.

What is different from the gentle expression is his rough movements. Kangxi directly threw a booklet on Wang Zhen's face: "Open it and have a look."

For a moment the room was silent.

The throats of all the officials seemed to be choked. While they were all silent, they also secretly watched every move of Fuzhou prefect Wang Zhen.
