In an instant, a huge wave of regret engulfed them like a tide.
The biggest regret in my life is that I have no chance to meet Mr. Yuan in this lifetime.
The dream of enjoying the coolness under the wheat...No one in the world will be hungry anymore. This is not only the dream of that great gentleman, but also the dream of every person in ancient times!
"My Lady, is there anyone starving where you are now?"
"Does everyone have rice?"
"Have the people not suffered from famine? Are whole cities still dying from lack of food?"
That moment.
It was as if the whole world was quiet.
Only Gu Sang's voice remained.
A paragraph.
It was so shocking that it made people's hearts boil, and everyone's blood boiled with excitement: "Here, out of a thousand people, nine hundred and ninety-nine will not go hungry!"
"Every family has surplus food, every household has stored food."
"Moreover, in some places, rice can even be planted in three batches: early rice, mid-season rice, and late rice, so rice can be harvested three times a year."
"It is Mr. Yuan who makes it possible for everyone to afford to eat and have enough to eat!"
Upon hearing this, the fifty-year-old Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue burst into tears on the spot.
Many ministers actually felt a regret that they were born before you.
The dreams of countless people have come true today, but they are disappointed to find that the great man has long passed away and they don’t even have the chance to ask for advice or visit him.
It will only leave a lifetime of regret in the years to come.
"Your Majesty, how do you grow rice? Is there a secret recipe?" A minister asked the key question.
Gu Sang was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "Sorry, I didn't study agriculture, so I don't know much about this."
"But I'm going to enroll in university next month. Once I'm there, I can ask the professor of agriculture for advice. Then you can take notes and experiment with them!"
The ministers' eyes flickered, they were excited and thrilled at first, but soon calmed down.
They were full of suspicion about Gu Sang's words.
Having been in officialdom for many years, they understand one thing best: there is no help without reason.
All help is conditional.
Looking at the gazes of the ministers in the hall, Gu Sang understood something. On the other hand, looking at another split-screen shot, the palace maids in Xuyang Palace were much more innocent and lovely.
Their faces were shining with happiness and excitement.
Never doubt her motives.
Gu Sang didn't take these things to heart. Whether she had ill intentions or was just trying to help others would become clear in the future.
She walked around the ridge of the field as the sun gradually set.
At this time, there were more mosquitoes, flying in groups in the air.
The owner of the B&B was washing potatoes and sweet potatoes in the yard. When he saw Gu Sang come back, he greeted him friendly.
The ministers stared at the things in the yard with wide eyes and asked in shock: "What kind of thing is that innkeeper holding? Is it edible?"
"I've been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since I was three years old, but I don't recognize a single thing in this yard. It's really strange."
"What are those piles of things under the wall? There are so many of them."
Gu Sang politely nodded in greeting, then walked to the corner of the yard, picked up a sweet potato and explained, "This is a sweet potato. It's very sweet and delicious."
"Decades ago, people survived by eating sweet potatoes. No matter how poor the soil, sweet potatoes are incredibly productive and are resistant to drought, flooding and salinity."
"As long as it is stored properly, it will not spoil for a year. In the event of a natural disaster, it is life-saving food."
Once again, the ministers were stunned as if they had never seen the world before.
This thing actually saved lives during natural disasters.
Natural disasters are locust plagues, droughts, and floods!
Once a natural disaster occurs, all crops will be destroyed.
Now, someone actually told them that there is something that can be used to save lives in natural disasters.
"The shopkeeper is holding potatoes, which, like sweet potatoes, are also a food with an astonishingly high yield."
"Potatoes can be shredded or sliced for stir-frying. Things like hot and sour shredded potatoes and wolf-tooth potatoes are all delicious."
The minister seemed to see Gu Sang's expression as he recalled the past.
According to the Empress’ description, these foods called potatoes and sweet potatoes should be delicious, right?
The camera turns again.
Gu Sang stood by the wall and pointed at the things in front of him: "The ones hanging on the wall are chili peppers, and the dried sweet potatoes on the winnowing basket are made from sweet potatoes."
"Sweet potatoes can be eaten as a meal, steamed, roasted, or dried. In addition, many snacks are also made with sweet potatoes."
After listening to the imperial concubine talk so much about how to eat, the ministers suddenly felt hungry.
During the morning court session, in order to avoid defecating and causing the emperor's anger, everyone went to court on an empty stomach.
Just wait until the court is over before having breakfast.
"My Lady! Where do these sweet potatoes and potatoes you mentioned come from?"
One minister was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to change the subject.
Their eyes are filled with desire and thirst for knowledge.
Even Pei Changying's eyes were filled with possession and resentment!
This selfish bitch stayed by his side for seven whole years! In those seven years, she never told him these secrets, let alone foods like sweet potatoes and potatoes!
This moment.
Pei Changying hated Gu Sang more and more. He wished he could rush into the screen right now, pinch Gu Sang under his body, and torture and humiliate him severely!
Let her know.
Conceal your own fate.
Gu Sangke didn't know the dirty thoughts in Pei Changying's mind. She just wanted to bring this dynasty to its peak: "This was brought from overseas. It appeared around the Ming Dynasty..."
"However, according to historical records, these two things may have existed in areas like Lingnan and Fujian for a long time, but it wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that people discovered they were edible."
The ancients were instantly excited when they heard it.
This sweet potato may appear in Lingnan and Fujian regions?
If this thing is transplanted to the capital, it will be just as what the imperial concubine said. This food called sweet potato is drought-resistant, flood-resistant and salt-alkali-resistant, and we will no longer have to worry about natural disasters!
Just when the ancients were happy that there were foods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes in Lingnan region.
I saw the owner of the B&B carrying a bucket of sweet potatoes and walking towards the pigpen.
Then--
Crash!
Poured into the pigsty.
This shocking scene immediately broke the defenses of the ancients.
The ministers' eyes bulged out suddenly, and they pointed at the pigpen in horror, saying, "This, this, this... this is simply a waste of natural resources! How can such precious sweet potatoes be fed to pigs?"
"How can we be worthy of Mr. Yuan for such a waste!"
"My Lady, how can the pigs in your place eat better than humans? Is this allowed?!"
All the ministers were excited!
They stared at the pigs with red faces, lamenting the waste of food and saying they deserved to be dragged out and beaten with sticks.
However——
Gu Sang glanced at the food in the pig basin and said calmly, "The production of sweet potatoes and potatoes here is too high. Humans can't eat them all."
"There's even so much leftover rice that it's being fed to pigs."
"You don't have to be surprised, this is the normal operation in my world!"
