Seeing the expressions on Grand Tutor Wen's and the others' faces, Di Xin naturally knew what they were thinking.
He couldn't help but smile wickedly, as if he could already see them begging him.
The food that Di Xin prepared for them was naturally sweet potatoes and potatoes obtained from their master, Lu Chuan.
In a short while,
The roasted sweet potatoes and stir-fried shredded potatoes were served on the table. Looking at the stir-fried shredded potatoes in front of him, Di Xin was quite satisfied. This cook was quite talented, and the hour he spent teaching him yesterday was not in vain.
Looking at the food in front of them, Grand Tutor Wen and his companions were dumbfounded. This was food? They had never seen it before!
The aroma is so tempting, it makes my mouth water uncontrollably.
Di Xin took a knife and cut the roasted sweet potato into several pieces, saying, "Come on! Try some!"
After saying that,
Grand Tutor Wen and the others each picked up a sweet potato, and only after Emperor Xin had eaten did they take theirs.
When you bite into a sweet potato, its soft texture and sweet taste leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.
In an instant, Grand Tutor Wen and his companions' eyes lit up, and they wolfed down the sweet potatoes.
tasty!
Absolutely delicious!
They had never tasted anything so delicious in their lives. Slightly regaining their senses, their eyes immediately fell on the stir-fried shredded potatoes in front of them, but without the king's permission, they dared not touch them.
Seeing how hard the others were trying to endure, Di Xin said calmly, "Don't be shy, eat!"
With the king's words in hand, Grand Tutor Wen and his men immediately took action, moving with incredible speed and sweeping away all obstacles.
Crisp and delicious,
They weren't satisfied yet; there was no food left on the plate. If it weren't for the king being there and the need to observe etiquette, they would have licked the plate clean.
"Your Majesty, is...is that all?" Huang Feihu asked weakly.
Di Xin smiled faintly and said, "Let's continue discussing the national policy I just mentioned."
Grand Tutor Wen and his companions: ?!
The king is waiting here!
The key question is... which cadre can withstand such a test?!
While the group remained silent, struggling with their own thoughts,
Di Xin's voice rang out again, "The soft and sweet food you just ate is called sweet potato, and the food on the plate is potato. Both of these can be eaten as a side dish or as a staple food to fill your stomach."
I wish to have my people of the Great Shang Dynasty cultivate this land. What do you all think?!
Upon hearing this,
The group was initially delighted, but then Bi Gan frowned slightly, his joy fading noticeably. "Your Majesty," he said, "this kind of divine substance must be quite troublesome to cultivate, and the yield must be rather small, right?"
Di Xin smiled slightly, "Sweet potatoes can be harvested twice a year, and the yield per mu can generally reach 6,000 jin!"
Potatoes, on the other hand, can typically yield between 3,000 and 5,000 jin per mu!
Grand Tutor Wen, Bi Gan, Huang Feihu, and the others: Ha! ?
this……! ?
Is it true? Is the King hiding them?!
Nowadays, the yield of grain per mu in Dashang is only 61 to 62 jin, but the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes per mu can reach several thousand jin. How is that possible?!
If the king wasn't lying to them, then there's only one possibility!
"Your Majesty, the growing conditions for sweet potatoes and potatoes must be quite demanding!" Bigan asked.
For yields per acre to reach such an astonishing level, the planting conditions must be extremely demanding.
Di Xin smiled and replied, "No, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be grown all over the country, and the conditions for growing them are not demanding."
What the heck?!
Upon receiving this answer, Grand Tutor Wen and his companions were dumbfounded again. It could be grown almost anywhere in the country?!
If this is the case, then from now on, the people of the Great Shang will no longer suffer from hunger.
"Your Majesty, planting and saving seeds must be quite difficult, right?" Bigan asked.
Di Xin replied, "It's not difficult. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are seeds themselves. As for how to operate them, I will naturally teach you."
Grand Tutor Wen and his companions: ?_?｀!
Holy crap!
So, sweet potatoes and potatoes are truly divine foods!
If it's a seed, then what they just ate was a terrible waste!
My heart ached instantly!
"Your Majesty, such a national treasure has not yet been widely cultivated. How can we be allowed to consume it? This..." Bigan said hastily.
The others naturally shared the same mindset as Bigan, while Di Xin waved his hand and said,
"It's alright. I took quite a lot from my master this time when I went down the mountain. It's enough!" Di Xin said.
Master?!
They keenly noticed the two characters "了" and were instantly filled with curiosity.
Who exactly is the king's master, that he possesses such a divine object?
Moreover, the king's thoughts and ideas were clearly extraordinary, which only fueled their curiosity.
...
Next, we will discuss the formulation of national policies and the specific methods of their implementation.
For several hours, Grand Tutor Wen and his companions discussed with Emperor Xin in the imperial palace the national policies to be implemented.
During this time, Grand Tutor Wen and his companions were deeply impressed by Emperor Xin. They had initially thought that Emperor Xin, having been away from the palace for so long, was not even familiar with the ways of a monarch, and that his talk of national policies was nothing but empty fantasy. However, after a conversation, they realized that their king was not just a theorist.
at the same time,
Their curiosity about the master that the king always talked about only intensified.
"I really want to meet that reclusive master," Bigan asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, is your master one of the few sages of this era?"
Upon hearing this, Di Xin's face darkened, and he said with disdain, "Those few sages, do they even deserve to be compared to Master?!"
Grand Tutor Wen and his companions: What?!
My king, aren't you being a little too arrogant?!
That's a saint, the strongest being in the world. Aren't you afraid of what you're saying?
We were all terrified listening to it, but you spoke of it so easily and simply.
Good heavens!
However... the king is not a fool. If he has the confidence to say such a thing, then his master must be an extraordinary figure.
But there were only a few sages at that time; that was a predetermined fate. Could it be... beings from beyond the heavens?!
They could only speculate about everything concerning the king's master, since the king refused to reveal anything about him.
late at night,
With this conversation over, everything was set up, and all that remained was to implement it step by step.
Before dispersing,
Di Xin said, "Whether our human race can prosper depends on this. As for national policies, anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
If there is no time to report to me, you may act as you see fit, executing first and reporting later!
Grand Tutor Wen hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our utmost and live up to Your Majesty's high expectations."
"Your Majesty, we will wholeheartedly assist you, revitalize our Great Shang Dynasty, revive our human race, and restore our ancient glory!" Bigan also said solemnly.
The remaining Huang Feihu and the others shared the same sentiment, willing to sacrifice themselves for the king, for the Shang dynasty, and for humanity.
...
As soon as Grand Tutor Wen and his entourage stepped out of the imperial palace, the city of Chaoge, which was already deep in the night, instantly became as bright as day.
Golden light scattered, and the imperial dragon aura soared into the sky. Compared to before, the imperial dragon aura at this moment was clearly more solid and dazzling!
At this moment,
The national fortune of the Shang Dynasty has surged once again, and the imperial dragon aura has solidified into a tangible form.
