"... In short, this sweet potato is a good thing like ginseng. Eating too much is not good for the human body, but eating less is a lot of benefits." Hu Guangbalabala said a lot and finally concluded, "Although I may have said it a little exaggeratedly, you should just understand that sweet potatoes are edible, do you understand?"

"..." The ministers below were speechless. Only if they could understand what he said was a ghost! But at least the emperor expressed his attitude that this sweet potato could be eaten!

Xu Guangqi was excited. He didn't know how much effort he had made for this, but he couldn't promote it. Unexpectedly, at the court meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor had to set an example and take the lead in eating sweet potatoes. In this way, everyone in the world knew about this sweet potato and would take the initiative to plant it!

In fact, he also knew that the biggest reason why the new crop of sweet potatoes is so obstacles in the world is that those grain merchants and the big landlords do not want to promote it. The court opposes and local blocks, how can they continue to promote it?

As he said just now, during the famine period, not to mention that sweet potatoes have some minor problems, even if they are really toxic crops, the people will eat them when they are hungry. After all, the disadvantages of these sweet potatoes are better than Guanyin soil? What about Yizi? The answer is obvious!

But Xu Guangqi could not say it clearly, otherwise he would offend too many people, and even he would not be able to withstand it. He was just a momentary aura and couldn't help but vomit out the words hidden deep, which indeed triggered Cheng Jiming's fierce reaction. The other colleagues remained silent, which somewhat explained his attitude. You must know that this was the emperor's court discussion that strongly demanded the solution to the food problem.

Xu Guangqi couldn't confirm whether the emperor was saying the truth or just wanted to promote the sweet potato and said the scene? But he didn't care, after all, these were not important to him anymore.

Xu Guangqi bowed to the emperor and said, "The sweet potatoes I stored in the north have been donated to the people of Yongping for consumption a few days ago. If Your Majesty wants to eat them, I will ask my family to bring them from the south. People in Fujian have planted them, and there are several varieties. Your Majesty can try them, and the tastes are different!"

There was a large-scale famine in Fujian before. The governor at that time promoted sweet potato cultivation in Fujian. Not only did he overcome the famine, but he also made sweet potato one of the staple foods for the people in Fujian, and the variety became increasingly abundant.

When Hu Guang heard this, he vaguely remembered that when the court officials donated food and materials, Xu Guangqi seemed to have mentioned this matter. But he didn't ask at the time, and didn't know that he had donated sweet potatoes to eat. If you know, he would definitely stop him!

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Cheng Jiming was a little unwilling to accept it, and he advised him again with a little sadness.

When Hu Guang heard this, he reached out and stopped him, and said firmly: "You don't need to say much. I have said that I know sweet potatoes."

After saying that, a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face and said to Xu Guangqi: "Sweet potatoes are also divided into sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, which can be cut into pieces and stir-fried with vegetables, or cooked separately. But what I like most is to eat roasted sweet potatoes! That aroma is still reminiscent when I think about it!"

When the Minister of Works Nan Juyi heard this, his eyes turned and stepped out and said, "Your Majesty said this, I also remembered it. When I was governing the Fujian area, I also ate the sweet potatoes roasted by the Fujian people. The fragrance is still fresh in my memory!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled and praised, "Look, I'm right!"

After saying that, he turned to Wen Tiren and ordered: "The cabinet proposed an order to ask the Fujian governor to select excellent sweet potato seeds and experienced sweet potato planting old farmers to promote sweet potatoes all over the country. The first priority of the governors of each province in Chongzhen was to grow sweet potatoes."

Speaking of this, he turned to look at Xu Guangqi and said, "Give Xu Qing a sword to patrol the whole country and supervise the planting of sweet potatoes. If any local officials dare to neglect or even violate the law and disobey the fifth rank or below, they can be dismissed from office and detained first, and others will report to the court later!"

"I obey the order!" Wen Tiren bowed and responded.

Xu Guangqi paid a great gift to worship, and was extremely excited. Once he had a wish, he got what he wanted, he still promoted it with such high standards and great strength. With such an emperor, it was a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!

Hu Guang was inspired and immediately said: "I also know that several crops are also a beneficial supplement to the existing grain crops of the Ming Dynasty like sweet potatoes. I will let the painter in the palace draw them and then send a decree to all parts of the country to offer a reward for the trial planting!"

I don’t know what the situation of corn and other things is now, so I should be more cautious. Unlike this sweet potato, not only has it been planted on a large scale in Fujian, but Xu Guangqi has also compiled the relevant contents of sweet potatoes into a book, so there is no need to worry about anything.

When Xu Guangqi heard this, his ears suddenly stood up, and there were new crops like sweet potatoes? He felt a little itchy! His desire for these was as if he had studied Western learning, and he cared very much, and he would not worry about how he would be treated by others.

But he was like other colleagues, and was very curious about the emperor's extensive knowledge and didn't know where the emperor knew these things. However, no matter how curious they were, they couldn't ask the emperor and how he knew it?

This court talk started suddenly, violently, but ended unexpectedly, and gained a lot.

However, Hu Guang didn't have time to be happy yet, because of another important thing, everything was ready, and now he was just waiting for the east wind. He called Cao Huachun and asked, "Where has the Baigang Army been now?"

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that you should be able to arrive in the capital within two days of tomorrow!" Cao Huachun replied quickly when he heard this.

The next two days will be almost the same. Hu Guang thought to himself and ordered Cao Huachun to say, "Reorganize a complete set of materials for the Shanxi merchants and the relevant people, and prepare to spread the world in a clear way!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" When Cao Huachun heard this, he knew that when Bai Gan's army arrived, he would attack Shanxi merchants. Only by taking action first and then proving the crime would be given to the whole world.

At this moment, an eunuch reported that the eunuch, the chief eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, requested an interview.

When Hu Guang heard this, he sent an order to summon him and ordered Cao Huachun to say, "Good companion to inform the Chief Minister, the decree for pardoning the soldiers will be delivered to the world as soon as possible, and the latest must not be later than tomorrow morning!"

Although the emperor did not say it, Cao Huachun felt that this order was related to the investigation of Shanxi merchants. Therefore, he immediately agreed and slowly retreated.

When he arrived outside the hall, he happened to meet Wang Dehua who was coming in a hurry. Cao Huachun didn't care about Wang Dehua who wanted to say hello to him at all, and left by himself, and Wang Dehua was so angry that he bit his teeth secretly.

After calming down, he entered the hall and bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the former chief assistant Han Yu has a copy to report!"

OK, I'll pay off the extra money!
