Steel Dynasty - Chapter 588

[Chapter 588 The sweet potatoes have arrived]

Outside the palace, Fiji and Pang Yukun walked side by side.

Fiji, who was scolded bloody, said depressedly: “Hey, His Highness’s temper is really unpredictable. Did I just say something wrong? Since ancient times, all dynasties have been vassal to foreign countries like this.”

“Feige Old, no matter whether it is right or wrong, at least it is wrong for His Highness. However, after thinking about it carefully, what His Highness said seems to be correct. For example, if we still treat the Three Mountain Kingdom in the same way as before, it will definitely happen in a few days. It will fall into the hands of Japanese pirates again, and once the Japanese pirates have sufficient supply of food and grass, they will inevitably invade. At that time, our kindness will be cruel to the people of Chongqing. If you say this, His Highness is absolutely right. “

“What you say makes sense.” Fiji suddenly realized, “But the face of Great Chongqing?”

“Can face be eaten as food?” Pang Yukun said something Xiao Ming often said.

Fiji opened his mouth and sighed deeply, “It seems that I have to go to Bowen College to read some more books. Maybe I can understand His Highness’s thoughts.”

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Li Kaiyuan and two people carrying a basket of Things came towards the palace.

Pang Yukun stopped him and asked, “What is this?”

“Sweet potatoes.” Li Kaiyuan wiped his sweat and said, he delivered this batch of sweet potatoes as soon as they were unloaded from the merchant ship.

Pang Yukun’s eyes widened immediately, “Are these sweet potatoes?”

“Yes, the Dutch merchant ship sent it to Dengzhou, and I shipped it back as soon as possible.” Li Kaiyuan said, greeting the people and leaving.

Fiji looked at the somewhat demented Pang Yukun and asked, “Pang Shoufu, why are you so excited?”

“Because this thing is more productive than potatoes.” Pang Yukun’s eyes filled with tears, “It seems that people in the Chongqing Kingdom will no longer starve to death in the future.”

“Higher yield than potatoes?” Fiji was also surprised and couldn’t help but look at the things in the box, but Li Kaiyuan took the people away.

Entering the palace, Li Kaiyuan directly found Xiao Ming.

“Your Highness, these are sweet potatoes sent by the Dutch.” Li Kaiyuan said, pointing to the sweet potatoes piled in the bamboo basket.

“The sweet potatoes are here.” Xiao Ming was depressed, but the moment he saw the sweet potatoes, his mood suddenly became high.

“I arrived in Dengzhou three days ago. I had someone deliver it to me as soon as we docked. Your Highness, is this thing really worth 30 dan per acre?” Li Kaiyuan still didn’t believe it.

“Of course, this can still be false. Now that potatoes have proven themselves, I will let sweet potatoes prove themselves too.” Xiao Ming said happily. In his opinion, sweet potatoes are more valuable than potatoes.

The preservation of potatoes is still a problem, but sweet potatoes can be cut into slices and dried into dried sweet potatoes. When he was a child, he often ate dried sweet potatoes, and the old people at that time said that they also ate this when they were young, and they even ate sweet potato leaves. Made steamed buns.

Li Kaiyuan nodded, “If that’s the case, with potatoes and sweet potatoes, the food problem of the feudal country will be solved.”

“It can’t be that simple. We have to wait until it becomes popular.” Xiao Ming said with a smile, food Abundance means population growth.

The Age of Great Navigation was the stage of population explosion in the West, and he could not lag behind, because in his opinion, after the civil war in the Great Yu Kingdom, the population would inevitably decline on a large scale, and with sufficient food, he would Fertility can be encouraged.

Looking at the sweet potatoes in the basket, Xiao Ming was happy and a little greedy at the same time. He hadn’t eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time. At this moment, Zi Yuan passed by outside the main hall. Xiao Ming stopped her and asked her to eat the sweet potatoes. Take it to the dining room and bake it.

“Your Highness, are these sweet potatoes?” Zi Yuan’s eyes rolled around.

How could Xiao Ming not know what this girl was thinking? He had told them about the deliciousness of sweet potatoes on weekdays, so he said: “There are a lot of sweet potatoes here. You can take a few to eat when the time comes.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Zi Wan said happily. said.

After the sweet potatoes were delivered, Li Kaiyuan had nothing to do, so he excused himself and left the palace.

At this time, Xiao Ming also returned to the dormitory with a smile on his face.

Fei Yue’er was reading a book at this time. Seeing Xiao Ming so happy, Fei Yue’er smiled and said, “What makes His Highness so happy?”

“Li Kaiyuan sent sweet potatoes, and the Sanshan Kingdom will also send food soon. The food will be harvested soon, and the potatoes will be harvested in the autumn, so the feudal country will be rich in food.” The more Xiao Ming thought about it, the happier he became. Food is the most important thing for the people, and with this food, he would not need anything. Scared.

Fei Yue’er was also happy for Xiao Ming after hearing this. When she first came to Qingzhou, she thought she would have a hard life, but she didn’t expect that life in Qingzhou would be more comfortable than in Chang’an.

“Congratulations, Your Highness.” Fei Yue’er smiled.

Xiao Ming felt proud after hearing this. The construction of the feudal country was progressing steadily, and he felt more and more secure.

…

While the two were talking, the dining room was already in a mess. The smell of roasted sweet potatoes attracted Pothos and Xiaohuan.

After learning that this was the sweet potato that Xiao Ming was talking about, the two girls immediately became greedy and swarmed to grab it. Zi Yuan looked helpless, but she was too lazy to care because he had taken a big sweet potato in advance and laughed. After a while, she took a bite, and the sweetness and fragrance suddenly spread in her mouth. The taste was much stronger than boiled potatoes. At this time, the green radish and Xiaohuan were also eating happily.

“Your Highness is really capable, and he can get such delicious food.” Zi Wan took several bites in a row, and then sighed with satisfaction.

Green Radish was the fastest to eat. After finishing all the food in her mouth, she narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. Then she looked at the sweet potato in Zi Yuan’s hand and said unwillingly: “Sister Zi Yuan, have you finished eating such a big sweet potato? I Let’s help you eat together.”

“You!” Zi Yuan gave her a small look at the pothos, “Your Highness is right, you are just a snack.” She

doesn’t care if she eats some pothos.

After the sweet potatoes were roasted, they were naturally given to Xiao Ming. It was not that strange for Xiao Ming to see the sweet potatoes on the plate. After all, he had eaten them often in modern times. However, Fei Yue’er was different. She picked up one excitedly and Put it in your mouth.

Xiao Ming took it with his bare hands and said, “Peel it before eating it.” As he said that, he peeled off the skin of the sweet potato and gave it to Fei Yue’er.

Taking it with a smile, Fei Yue’er took a bite, chewed it gently, and said in her mouth: “Well, it’s so delicious!”

Xiao Ming also picked up a sweet potato and ate it. Sweet potatoes are the same as potatoes. They are all powerful tools to solve famine. After food is abundant, it will not be regarded as a staple food. Potatoes are used for cooking, and sweet potatoes become a snack material.

Halfway through the meal, Fei Yue’er felt choked and hurriedly drank some water. The first time she ate it, she felt it was very delicious, but sweet potatoes, like potatoes, were more choking when eaten dry, but it had to be said, This sweet potato is really delicious.
