Wei Yunlan said in a clear voice, "The army stationed in the north was short of food and grass before, and it was only with the tens of thousands of stones of sweet potatoes sent from Huangzhou that they were able to survive the difficult battle with the northern barbarians."
"There are 100,000 soldiers stationed in the North. Everyone has tasted potatoes. What do you think of this thing? Is it problematic? Can it be eaten?"
Can I eat it?
That's awesome.
Ever since the Northern Barbarians were defeated, the troops stationed in the north have become almost like guardian gods in the hearts of the people of Dayong.
When Wei Yunlan's words fell into their ears, they were automatically understood to mean that the Northern Army won the battle by eating these potatoes.
The lumps of earth that were once regarded as poison have now turned into "lumps of gold" in the eyes of everyone.

After hearing this, everyone reacted.
"So, potatoes themselves are not poisonous, and the two young men who were poisoned after eating them ate potatoes that had gone bad and sprouted?"

"I hope that the princess and the noble lady will put aside their past grudges and...will give us the two kinds of seeds. We will plant them well and live up to the noble lady's trust!"
The person who was speaking felt a little embarrassed and did not dare to look up to see the reaction of the nobleman.
After waiting for a while, just when they thought they were going to miss this opportunity, a gentle but majestic female voice came into their ears.
"Since you are willing to plant, you can go to the local agricultural officials to get seeds."
"If you want to make amends, please spread what you have learned today to your relatives and friends. The promotion of new grain varieties requires the efforts of the whole country. You are all part of Dayong, so naturally you can do your part for the country!"
