On the side, the left prime minister, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Your Majesty, if you use these potatoes as seeds, you will be able to get a hundredfold harvest by the time of the festival."
"This way, we will be able to carry out full-scale promotion and planting next year."
"But once it is promoted, it must be done on a large scale, so we should do it in secret in the early stages."
Zhao Wenxiang, who had been silent the whole time, nodded in agreement when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, the left prime minister is right. During the seeding stage, we must keep it secret."
"It would be best if we could make sure that our surrounding countries don't know about it before we promote it on a large scale."
"That way, we can take the initiative."
They all understood that once it was promoted on a large scale, it would be impossible to keep it secret.
Whether it was the Wu Kingdom or the Shu Kingdom, it was very easy to get some seeds and bring them back to their own country.
It’s impossible to defend against it.
Of course, even if they get some potatoes for seeds, it will take at least one or two years, or even two or three years, to achieve full promotion.
Two or three years is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said, "Well, I will select a royal farm near Chushui and plant this plant there."
Then he looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Bring them to the palace in the evening."
"Bring some of these potatoes, and instruct the cook to cook them for me."
"I want to try it and see how it tastes!"
Zhao Hao knew that she was talking about Yongning and his aunt Jiang Yiren, as well as the two little ones Zhen'er and Zheng'er.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"It just so happens that several adults are here. According to your opinion, I will take out a basket and share it with you so that you can have a taste!"
Zhao Wenxiang immediately said, "Forget it. If you eat more, you'll have less. Let's save it for breeding!"
Jiang Wan'er waved her hand and said, "It's okay. The yield of this thing is so high, eating a little is nothing."
"Besides, it is necessary to taste it."
"You'll know what this thing is like only after you've tasted it!"
"If it's hard to swallow, no matter how much we produce, I'm afraid people won't like it."
After hearing her say this, everyone nodded.
Zhao Hao immediately said, "Brother Wu, quickly bring some small baskets over and share some among the adults."
Then, Zhao Hao briefly explained some methods and watched the adults leave Su Garden.
Before leaving, Jiang Wan'er turned around and looked at him: "Early in the afternoon, I'm not very busy in the afternoon."
When Zhao Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded quickly and agreed.
After sending everyone away, Zhao Hao asked Wu Song to take people to deliver the remaining eight large baskets of potatoes to the cellar.
Everything was almost done. Zhao Hao rubbed his hands and said, "Second Brother Wu, go back to the mansion and tell Her Royal Highness the Princess that I will not be going back today. I have to go to the palace tonight to discuss important matters with His Majesty!"
When Wu Song heard this, his eyes suddenly became strange.
However, he was not a man of many words. He nodded immediately and went back home to deliver the letter.
Back in the house, Zhao Hao took a fragrant bath and then tidied his hair and beard.
After he had almost finished getting himself ready, he hummed a little tune and prepared to go get the ingredients he would need for dinner.
By the time we finished preparing, it was already noon.
In the afternoon, he had a long and sound sleep. At about four o'clock, he woke up, took a bath, and changed into beautiful clothes.
The whole person is very showy.
Then he took the prepared food and other things and asked Wu Song to drive him to the palace.
He originally thought that the royal sister was still handling official business at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the royal sister was fishing by the lotus pond in the imperial garden.
Moreover, the clothes are quite casual.
He was wearing a light yellow tight-fitting robe, sitting on a chair, holding a pole in his hand.
The whole person seems very leisurely, and has a very refined temperament.
Seeing Zhao Hao coming, Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Didn't I ask you to bring them with you?"
"What's going on?"
Zhao Hao knew this question would come, and he had already thought of how to answer it.
"Your Majesty, because they have already eaten the potato feast I prepared this morning."
"Although potatoes are delicious, it's not good to eat them continuously. It's always a bit greasy."
"So, they can't say anything anymore, so let me speak to His Majesty."
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes moved and she looked at him deeply.
"Could it be that you, boy, didn't tell them at all?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and his eyes widened: "Your Majesty, how could I do such a thing?"
"No way!"
Jiang Wan'er asked suspiciously, "You really didn't?"
Zhao Hao nodded immediately: "Absolutely not!"
Seeing this, Jiang Wan'er curled her lips and said, "Well, I also think you don't dare!"
"Well, since they're not coming, forget it!"
"Cook it for me. I want to taste the potatoes carefully."
Zhao Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, just hold it!"
After saying that, he started to get busy.
There was no need to use the kitchen, they just stayed in the imperial garden, and he even brought his own firewood and pot.
A small stove was set up immediately.
The vegetables are all cut.
The first thing to do is to stir-fry.
As for the potatoes, they are steamed, boiled and roasted.
Still the same things from this morning.
Jiang Wan'er put down the fishing rod and came to his side.
"What can I do to help?"
Zhao Hao kept working, smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, just wait."
"I'm fully prepared!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded and watched his skillful movements from the side.
In about half an hour, Zhao Hao's steamed potatoes, fried shredded potatoes and mashed potatoes were ready.
Cook the potatoes slowly.
You need to wait until the fire is out before you can put it in to burn.
After finishing the first three dishes, he also prepared two side dishes.
After setting up the small table, Zhao Hao brought out the cocktails he had prepared.
"Your Majesty, I mixed this wine myself. I know you like fruits, so it has fruity flavors."
"I also put ice plum in it."
"Would you like to try it?"
Seeing this, Jiang Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "You are well prepared today!"
"Is it up to no good?"
Zhao Hao immediately complained: "What are you talking about? How could I have bad intentions?"
"I am so wronged!"
"Heaven and earth can bear witness to this!"
Jiang Wan'er pursed her lips and said, "Don't try to trick me. How could I not know your little thoughts?"
"I can tell you, it's okay to drink a little, but you better control yourself!"
Zhao Hao took off his apron, walked over with a smile, and gently hugged her from behind.
Then, he said softly, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. We have been doing this for the past two years, haven't we gotten through it?"
"When did I ever take the initiative to ask Your Majesty to fulfill his original promise?"
