The court officials were full of confusion and discussed and speculated secretly along the way.

We drove slowly out of the city and finally arrived at our destination.

Everyone looked at the name of the manor and was stunned for a moment, "Sanshui Villa? This is... the manor of the Princess of Qingping County, right?"

It is said that many workshops are hidden in this village, and countless people want to have evil ideas, but are unable to enter.

"Yes, it's hers. Why did the emperor bring us here?" To be honest, everyone was quite interested as they had heard of this place for a long time.

Mu Wanqing brought the people into the village, and the village head came to greet them tremblingly, his legs shaking.

Mu Wanqing ordered, "Notify everyone to harvest potatoes today."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

Potatoes? Everyone got the point quickly and exchanged glances, saying they had never heard of it.

Mu Wanqing made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty, please."

The most mysterious farm unveils its truest side.

The farm is distributed in an orderly manner, divided into two parts, one side is the workshop and the other side is for crop cultivation.

There is a patrol team in the village, composed entirely of female soldiers, who are heroic and full of momentum.

We met several teams along the way, and the entire farm was under their surveillance.

There is also a patrol of hunting dogs, which has turned the farm into an iron barrel that not even water can get in.

Mu Wanqing did not take them to visit the workshop, but went straight to the crop area with a clear goal.

This is also divided into several pieces, each piece is marked with a sign, and the Arabic numerals on it are only known to the insiders.

Mu Wanqing brought people to the southernmost piece of land, which was lush and green with good growth, stretching as far as the eye could see.

A hint of joy flashed in the emperor's eyes, "This whole piece of land?"

"Yes, I spent three years cultivating these potatoes." Mu Wanqing spent a lot of time and energy to grow these potatoes after constantly improving the seeds and planting them scientifically. "Your Majesty, can we start?"

"Let's begin." The emperor tried his best to suppress his excitement.

Mu Wanqing glanced at the villagers who were in charge of planting. They were all strong and sturdy, and were good at farm work.

When they saw the emperor coming with a group of important ministers, they were so excited that they didn't know where to put their hands, and they kept shaking when they saluted.

At the order from above, they rolled up their sleeves and started to gather the potatoes by the roots.

I saw a vine full of potatoes. When I counted carefully, there were twelve of them, of different sizes.

Mu Wanqing picked up the largest potato and handed it to the emperor, "Look, this one can be a staple food."

The emperor looked at the potatoes covered with fresh soil, which were bigger than Mu Wanqing's fist. "Can this be eaten? Are you kidding?"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not." Mu Wanqing called her followers to light a fire, set up an iron net, and roast the washed potatoes on it.

Also cooked with water.

The eldest prince also came and followed his father closely, looking at the grill curiously.

The court officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this another new type of food? The last time corn and kapok were promoted nationwide, Mu Wanqing had already gained great reputation.

Here comes a new kind of food, it’s going to be amazing.

Why is Mu Wanqing so lucky? She can always find good things, why can't they?

They stared blankly at the villagers as they carefully dug out potatoes. The more they dug, the more potatoes there were, and soon they formed a small hill.

They were shocked, the output was extremely high.

I just don't know how it tastes.

The Second Assistant Minister was upset, filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. A woman was so capable that she could time and time again overshadow such important officials. He was so angry.

The common people only knew the Princess Qingping, but did not know the names of these important officials.

The emperor only has one Princess Qingping in his eyes and he protects her at all times.

No matter how many people impeached her, the emperor suppressed them all, blocking countless conspiracies and plots for her, allowing her to focus on the economy.

In his eyes, the entire cabinet combined is probably not as important as Mu Wanqing.

The more he is impeached, the more important he is. What damn good luck.

Some people can't stand seeing others do well and want to step on them to death, such as Ci Fu.

An alluring aroma spread out, and the eldest prince's surprised voice rang out, "What a nice smell, is it cooked?"

Mu Wanqing observed for a while and said, "We need to bake it for a while longer."

The eldest prince looked on anxiously.

The one who was more anxious than him was the emperor, but he didn't show it at all.

The potatoes were finally cooked. The eunuch tried them first. By the time it was everyone else's turn, the potatoes were not so hot anymore.

The eunuch put the peeled potatoes in small bowls and served them to everyone one by one.

The emperor suppressed his excitement and took a bite. He was stunned. It tasted better than he had imagined.

Others also ate it with gusto, "It's soft and sticky, very fragrant, but a little bland." Of course it was bland without any seasoning.

The eldest prince stared at Mu Wanqing tinkering with the food. Mu Wanqing peeled the potatoes, mashed them, added seasonings, butter and milk, and made mashed potatoes.

After a series of operations, I can finally eat it.

She took a bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction. This is the taste! So delicious.

The eldest prince looked at it with envy, for he knew that Princess Qingping was an expert in food.

"Sister Qingping, let me have a taste."

Mu Wanqing glanced at him and generously used a clean spoon to divide the mashed potatoes into two portions. "Take it and eat it."

The eldest prince put the spoon into his mouth, and then his eyes widened suddenly. This taste is amazing, ahhhh.

His face flushed red, "I declare that mashed potatoes are my favorite food."

No child can resist mashed potatoes, not one!

Seeing the eldest prince wolfing down the food, everyone fell silent and felt a little moved.

The Minister of War was the first to be unable to resist, "Give me one like this, too."

The maids around Mu Wanqing all have unique skills. Cooking is a basic skill that everyone can master, it’s just a matter of level.

They made a big pot of mashed potatoes and various potato foods, including dry-pot potato chips, shredded potato cakes, French fries, wolf tooth potatoes, shredded potatoes with vinegar, potato meatballs, golden potato balls, potato beef stew, etc.

A potato feast.

Everyone tried this and that and had a great time. Potatoes are delicious no matter how you cook them.

"Princess Qingping, these potatoes are really good. How did you make them?"

Mu Wanqing said casually, "Du Shaoxuan got it from Hu Shang. I tried planting it. I didn't expect it to be successful."

The eldest prince held the wolf-tooth potatoes and French fries tightly and was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

These two are his favorites. They are crispy and delicious when paired with various sauces. They are simply delicacies of the world.

"Sister Qingping, why did you take out the potatoes just now? I missed out on a lot of delicious food."

Mu Wanqing dipped the French fries in ketchup and ate them. She got both tomatoes and peppers, making the food more delicious.

"Timing is important. From now on, you can eat potatoes every day, but eat less fried food. It's not healthy."

The eldest prince looked at the large potato field, then at the tall pile of potatoes that had been dug out, his face full of happiness.

The eunuch ran over, his face flushed and his voice trembling with excitement.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the potato yield per acre is...more than 4,000 kilograms."

The emperor stood up suddenly, extremely surprised, "Are you sure?"

"No." The eunuch handed over the records, which showed ten sets of experimental data, all weighing more than four thousand kilograms.

The emperor felt a deep joy in his heart. Four thousand kilograms! This was even higher than the corn yield.

The people no longer have to worry about disasters. With this magical object, they are no longer afraid of starving to death.

God bless our Da Qi!

The officials were so shocked that they were speechless. What kind of concept was this? It was a sacred object comparable to the kapok tree.

Kapok can keep people warm, and potatoes can keep people full.

The emperor was delighted and said, "Princess Qingping, is this a good seed?"

"It's OK. It's not picky about the soil. It can grow even in poor soil. I have sorted out the planting method. Just follow it."

Mu Wanqing pointed to the potato mountain in front of them and said, "These can all be used as seeds. You can take them all away. Just leave me 10,000 kilograms. I promised Du Shaoxuan that I would send 5,000 kilograms to Xiliang for the people to sow."

Everyone gasped. How much land is there? At least a hundred acres of land. How many potatoes can be dug out?

How much money would she make if she sold it? She was too noble and dignified, which made them look inferior.

The emperor looked at her deeply, "Are you willing to do this?"

Mu Wanqing cupped her hands, her expression serious, "I study these things because I want to benefit the people and contribute to the court and the king, not for personal gain."

The emperor was very pleased that she did not disappoint his high hopes and always kept her original aspiration in mind, which was very rare.

"Good, very good. Pass the decree. For the meritorious contribution of offering potatoes, Princess Qingping is to be named Princess Qingping, and Princess Qingping's father Mu Zhongping is to be named Marquis Qingyuan."

Mu Wanqing only asked for a title for her father, but she didn't expect the emperor to give her an additional promotion.

Although this doesn't mean much, she still appreciates it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The important officials were so envious that their eyes turned red. In those days, the system of conferring titles was extremely strict, and without special contributions, there was no way out.

It doesn't matter that Princess Qingping was promoted to Princess Xian. It's just an honorary title without real power. She is not as influential as a Minister of Revenue.

But this Marquis of Qingyuan was too enviable. Mu Zhongping was honored and granted the title easily just because he had a good daughter.

The deputy assistant said sourly, "Others all have their wives and sons ennobled, but I didn't expect that the princess of Qingping County... is different from others. She worked hard to honor her father and brother and win the title for them. It must be very tiring."

When these sarcastic words came out, everyone looked at them differently.

Mu Wanqing didn't care. "Are you jealous? Then give birth to a daughter like me who can bring honor to the family."

The Ci Fu was so angry. How could he be jealous of others when his own children were doing well?

There just isn’t!

Du Shaoxuan was not left out either, and got several good horses and gold, silver and jewelry.

One stone can cause a thousand ripples, shaking the whole government and the public.

Potatoes? What is that?

The government soon issued a notice that potatoes were a high-yield food, with an output of 4,000 catties per mu. Every family could buy 20 catties at a low price of 10 cents per catty based on their household registration, which was not expensive at all.

This also eliminates the possibility of the powerful and wealthy monopolizing seeds.

Upon hearing the news, people went crazy and rushed to line up to buy the products.

This was made by Princess Qingping, so it must be true. She is the one who made the cement water truck Kapok.

In a short time, the potatoes were sold out, and the government didn't even have to do any publicity.

Mu Wanqing gave some potatoes and planting manuals to her relatives and then closed the door and stopped receiving guests.

The emperor gave a benefit to all civil and military officials: each of them could receive five kilograms of potatoes.

The quantity is small, but it is hard to find it outside at a high price.

The problem is that the powerful and wealthy have a lot of land, so how can this be enough for farming?

The high-ranking officials all approached Mu Wanqing to try to get close to her and build a relationship with her. "Princess Qingping, please help me and give me some potatoes. The price is good."

"Princess Qingping, we have known each other for many years. You have to make some arrangements for me, right?"

"Princess Qingping, my children love potatoes so much that they ate all the ones I gave them. I can't plant any more. Can you help me get some good seeds?"
