Chapter 107 Xu Guangqi (Five)

"Your Majesty, please wait, please ask me." A minister hurriedly came out and reported.

What other questions are there? Yang Jingwei was puzzled: "Jing family just tell me, what's the problem?"

"Your Majesty, I want to ask, how much does this change cost? How much does this take up the tax?" This person is probably from the Ministry of Revenue.

"This..." Yang Jing was in trouble again. He had never considered the problem of color breaking. The problem of these sweet potatoes is still a problem. It depends on the yield after growing sweet potatoes on the spot! It is too early to set it now. The output of sweet potatoes in the 21st century is very different from that in the current 21st century. As for the taxes that account for a percentage of the proportion, it is even more unpredictable.

The proportion of taxes is small, and the scale cannot be increased. This proportion is large. It is not a big deal to give officials golden partners every day. It is not a big deal! Yang Jing was in trouble. Looking at Xu Guangqi again, Xu Guang started to twitch his lips, and then turned his eyes to the ground, without saying a word.

Yang Jing changed his mind and remembered that this sweet potato is a good thing, why is it so difficult to promote it? If it doesn't work, I will feed the sweet potatoes to pigs. It's okay. I'm just going to build an industrial farm. I'm about to make a ruthless proportion of the sweet potatoes to an extremely high tax. Sun Chengzong came out and reported: "Your Majesty, I think that the problem of color is not urgent for the time being. After Xu Shaobao tried the seeding, I will make a conclusion. As for how much tax it is, I think it's safer to account for 30%. Of course, it's better to have your Majesty's holy judgment after Lord Xu's trial planting."

Sun Chengzong spoke. Yang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how bad it was, the proportion would not be less than 30%. The Donglin Party’s anti-target speech was quite influential.

"That's it. The color-breaking issue will be discussed after Master Xu's trial planting. As for how much tax is, I think about it." Yang Jing felt that 30% of the time was too small. Even if he fed pigs, he could make a fortune because the yield of sweet potatoes was too high. Yang Jing had a little impression that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu in the 21st century was more than several thousand kilograms, which was more than ten times the difference from the northern Ming Dynasty, which was only 200 to 300 kilograms per mu. Of course, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to grow sweet potatoes per mu.

This meeting still achieved some results. At least the promotion of sweet potatoes was decided, and Xu Guangqi was responsible.

After the meeting ended, Yang Jingwei was still thinking about how much tax it was.

The 30% Sun Chengzong said was too little. Of course, it cannot be blamed for Sun Chengzong. This was also the insurance period. When there was no good place to go to sweet potatoes, it was not a good thing to force the officials and soldiers to send sweet potatoes. Sun Chengzong said 30% was also a meticulous consideration and was considered by the court.

Yang Jing thought hard, what can this sweet potato do in the future?

French fries? It seems that they are made of potatoes, not sweet potatoes, although they have a potato word.

Steamed sweet potatoes? Roasted sweet potatoes? How many sweet potatoes can be roasted in a year? It can create a group of craftsmen who rely on roasted sweet potatoes to make their lives. This can also be considered to expand employment?

Made into sweet potato candy? It seems that during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, people with this skill can make a small profit, which can be considered to be expanding their employment?

What else is the use of sweet potatoes on a large scale?

Do you really use sweet potatoes to feed pigs? Yang Jing remembers that these sweet potatoes are often used to feed pigs in the countryside, and they are slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, no one had eaten anything, so he even gave pigs sweet potatoes? Yang Jingwei felt that this person lived a cheaper life than a pig, and he really couldn't make up his mind.

Then what else can this sweet potato do?

Yang Jie walked in the Palace Museum, his thoughts flying all over the sky.

Due to morning court and meetings, the queen Zhou Wan'er had not eaten lunch yet. She had been waiting in the Ganqing Palace for a long time. When she saw the emperor come back, she immediately came to meet her.

"The Emperor is back."

"Yeah, I'm back."

"Your Majesty, I haven't taught you lunch yet. I have made steamed pork with stew. Your Majesty, please try it." Zhou Wan'er had been waiting for the emperor in the Ganqing Palace for a long time. She heard that the emperor had not eaten lunch yet. She had been discussing state affairs and was very concerned. She immediately made some steamed pork with stewed pork with her hands, waiting for Yang Jing to come back. It is the empress's duty to take good care of the emperor and enhance the relationship between the two. This is a good opportunity.

"Steamed pork?" A flash of light passed through Yang Jie's mind. It seemed that something had lit up. Unfortunately, it passed too quickly and disappeared into memory again.

"Yes! Your Majesty, it's steamed pork made by me. Your Majesty will try it, and see if it's delicious." Zhou Wan'er looked at the emperor earnestly, hoping that the emperor could eat a bite of the steamed pork made by me.

"Steamed pork?" Yang Jie thought of it again. This thing must be related to the sweet potatoes he had been thinking about just now, but where is it? Yang Jie just can't remember it.

"Emperor, what's wrong?" Empress Zhou Wan'er looked at the emperor curiously, wondering what's wrong with the emperor.

"Steamed pork with rice, steamed pork with rice... By the way!! These sweet potatoes can be made into vermicelli! Sweet potato flour, my god! Why did I forget such important things? God helps me... God helps me..." Yang Jie suddenly remembered that these sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato flour.

In the past, this sweet potato flour was a must-have food for every household during the Chinese New Year! This pork stewed vermicelli was famous! Why did I forget such an important thing?

I think that during the Chinese New Year in the future, every household will prepare a few kilograms of sweet potato flour, some of which are used as a dish for the New Year, or enjoy them together after relatives come. It is really the best choice for entertaining guests. It is a large quantity and smooth and smooth taste. It is stewed with pork. In the cold winter, the aroma is everywhere, so I don’t know how fragrant it is. Eating this hot pork stewed vermicelli in the middle of the winter, eating your belly, warm body, and taking a shower of the sun is really a great enjoyment in life.

This family needs a few kilograms. In the Ming Dynasty, with a population of over 100 million, how much sweet potato flour does this year have? How many sweet potatoes do you get? Yang Jing settled the score and felt excited. With such a large demand, will you still give a desperate order to promote this sweet potato? As long as you sacrifice the sweet potato vermicelli, the sweet potatoes will immediately become a hot item in the world and rush to grow it!

Yang Jingjie suddenly felt refreshed.

Looking at Queen Zhou Wan'er, he said, "Wan'er, you are really my blessing! You have to remind me that I just had blessings in my heart and thought of great things that benefit the country and the people."

"Is this true?" Queen Zhou Wan'er held a bowl of steamed pork with a bowl of rice noodles and looked at the emperor with a little at a loss and suddenly shouted, "God helps me..." and then told her about something great that would benefit the country and the people, and she was already confused.

"Haha, Wan'er, I've eaten this steamed pork. Thank you so much this time!" After Yang Jie said that, he snatched the bowl from the queen's hand, ate the steamed pork in the bowl in a few bites, and shouted: "It's delicious, delicious."

Queen Zhou Wan'er looked at the emperor eating what she cooked with her own hands with a happy look on her face.

I ate a few bites of steamed pork with noodles.

Yang Jing's thoughts changed a few more times.

Since there are no sweet potato vermicelli in the Ming Dynasty, wouldn’t it mean that you can set up a sweet potato vermicelli processing factory to monopolize the national sweet potato vermicelli market? This seems to be a monopoly. The factory needs workers, not to mention that it can increase employment, but the money you make is all your own!

I thought again that if I used these sweet potatoes to pay taxes, I actually didn’t have to be a golden partner. I would send them to officials. I could collect them at a low cost, and then process them to make sweet potato vermicelli, and then sell them back, becoming the New Year supplies that everyone loves to eat. Every family has to make a fortune and a business that is in and out!

Then, it seems that the sweet potato can be fully taxed. The scale of this sweet potato is probably quite large. It is definitely much better than the promotion done by Chongzhen in history.

Another thing is that the problem of preservation of sweet potatoes can be solved. Sweet potatoes can't be stored for long, but it's okay to store sweet potato flour for one or two years. Well, this is a good thing, easy to store, easy to transport, easy to cook, and refreshing to eat. Thinking about the future logistics of the army, these sweet potato vermicelli will inevitably be free! This is another market, and this is really a killing of multiple goals!

Yang Jie really wanted to laugh to the sky and vent his feelings.

I also thought that Chongzhen in history might not know how to process sweet potatoes into sweet potato vermicelli, which led to the failure to promote sweet potatoes and wasted an opportunity to save the Ming Dynasty. I was also sighing.

A step forward is heaven, and one step back will lead to hell!
