The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 698

[Chapter 698 Don’t eat too much]

When the others saw Emperor Chu’s expression change, they were slightly startled and all became nervous.

Is there something wrong with these sweet potatoes?

For a moment, everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound.

At this time, Emperor Chu suddenly let out a sigh.

“This is the first time I have eaten such delicious food!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

The majestic emperor!

What does it mean to say such a thing?

For a moment, everyone was in a daze and didn’t quite believe it at all.

How could a small roasted sweet potato, something common people eat to satisfy their hunger, be so delicious?

If it is true as His Majesty said, wouldn’t this sweet potato become something that can only be found in heaven?

They all wanted to try it, but there was only one roasted sweet potato.

For a moment, they couldn’t say anything, and they didn’t even dare to say anything.

Until Emperor Chu finished every sweet potato.

Only then did they dare to say: “Your Majesty, can you, humble minister, also try this roasted sweet potato?”

Emperor Chu glanced at them, with a smile on his face, and waved his hand, “Of course!”

With a wave of his hand, the farmer next to him roasted it again. Lots of sweet potatoes.

Give one to each of these guards and eunuchs.

After these people ate it, their faces all changed.

Is it really so delicious?

They didn’t expect it at all.

A small sweet potato is really so delicious.

Oh my God!

Even

though they have been with His Majesty for many years and have seen a lot, they don’t know what to say.

At the same time, everyone was shocked.

They are also knowledgeable people, so they naturally know what it means for the sweet potatoes to be so delicious.

The rise of Chu is now!

Emperor Chu thought the same thing, and he was in a very good mood. He looked at the farmer and said with a big smile: “These sweet potatoes are good, good!”

After a pause, he couldn’t help but laugh again, “Okay, okay!”

He said three times in a row. A good word is enough to describe his current mood.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they were all very happy.

Only the farmers were completely confused.

A small sweet potato, what does that mean?

Not to mention those nobles, ordinary farmers like them just eat whatever they want, with nothing to worry about.

Why do these people seem to have eaten such delicious food for the first time?

It is said that it is better to be an emperor than to be an emperor.

Now it seems that it is not that good.

After all, the majestic emperor had never even eaten a sweet potato.

Many farmers thought so in their hearts, and couldn’t help but shake their heads, looking at Emperor Chu with a somewhat sympathetic expression.

Emperor Chu didn’t notice all this at all.

At this moment, his whole body was focused on the sweet potatoes.

Nowadays, sweet potatoes are only grown in this small area outside Suzhou City. What would happen if the planting of sweet potatoes were promoted in all states?

Emperor Chu fell silent when he thought of this.

After a moment, he waved his hand and said, “You just baked a sweet potato with me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The guard took the order and left.

Seeing this scene, the farmer became more convinced of his guess, but he still stood up and stopped him: “Your Majesty, although these sweet potatoes are delicious, you can’t eat too much. If

you eat too much, your stomach will be bloated.”

Emperor Chu heard this .

, looked at the farmer and asked: “Really?”

The farmer nodded and said: “We have all tried it, and the feeling of flatulence is uncomfortable.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he hesitated.

If it is true what this farmer said.

Eating too much sweet potatoes will cause bloating.

So, it seems that it cannot replace the staple food.

But

flatulence is not a big problem, it is better than being hungry and having nothing to eat.

Emperor Chu thought for a while and didn’t know how to make a decision.

Should sweet potatoes be promoted throughout Chu State, or should sweet potatoes be planted in part and rice be planted in part?

Emperor Chu was very hesitant.

But there was no one from the household department following him, and no one could give him advice.

In fact, even the people from the Ministry of Accounts couldn’t give him advice.

Those guys who only know how to deal with things all day long, have they ever been to the ground?

Have you ever dug a sweet potato?

Have you ever planted rice?

What do they know?

It’s obviously the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is in charge of the world’s money and food, but how many of these people don’t even know what food looks like or what the yield of one acre of rice is?

I’m afraid it’s quite a lot!

When Emperor Chu thought of this, he suddenly understood.

Why did Fang Xiu insist on reforming the imperial examination?

This is the purpose!

Practice is always the most important!

Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand this truth.

This is the case with Emperor Chu.

After what he had just done, digging sweet potatoes in the fields, Emperor Chu also became more determined in his belief in reforming the imperial examination.

But should this sweet potato be promoted?

Emperor Chu himself couldn’t figure it out.

He hesitated for a while, then sighed, looked at Liu Cheng, and ordered: “Send a letter to the Marquis of Xin’an and ask him whether these sweet potatoes can replace rice.”

This is a very important question. It is related to the future development of Chu State.

After hearing this, Liu Cheng showed a serious expression on his face and bowed hurriedly, “Yes, Your Majesty, I’ll do it now!”

Fang Mansion.

Fang Xiu lay on a chair and basked in the sun.

It’s the vernal equinox and the weather is perfect.

Fang Xiu comes out to bask in the sun every few days.

Of course, he really had nothing to do during this time.

Occasionally I go to the academy and watch the children reading.

Occasionally, I would go to Shenji Camp and watch the soldiers train.

Then he took Liu Qing, Fang Ru and Lin Wanqing to the outskirts of the city to fly a kite.

All in all, it was very relaxing.

Of course, even so, the old guys in the cabinet didn’t want him to be so free.

I asked him again and again when he would go to the cabinet.

Fang Xiu refused at first, but then he just didn’t care.

You can send whatever you want and ask whatever you want, as long as I don’t reply to you.

besides.

There was also a much-discussed thing that happened in the capital.

There is no doubt that he is the assassin from a few days ago.

Xin’anhou’s encounter with an assassin was actually not a particularly strange thing.

Because, in this short period of one year.

It seems that Xin’an Hou has encountered assassins twice. Counting this time, it is already the third time.

The onlookers have long been used to it.

They all know that Xin’anhou has offended many people.

Someone sends an assassin, that’s a very normal thing.

However, this time it is different!

Because it is not certain whether the assassin’s target is Xin’anhou.

His Royal Highness King Kang was beside Marquis Xin’an at that time!

And, as far as they know.

It seems that the assassin arrived at Fang Mansion not long after His Royal Highness Prince Kang arrived at Fang Mansion at that time.

Of course, they were all stopped.

All of a sudden, all kinds of conjectures came out.

Some people say that this assassin was sent out by the Marquis of Xin’an, and the target was His Highness Prince Kang.

Needless to say, the reason is that everyone knows that they are not getting along with each other.

Of course, this is a minority.

Most people say that

this assassin was sent by His Highness Prince Kang!
