Speaking of prayers, prayers are here.
As soon as she entered the hall with Eleven and Twelve, she saw Meng Yi standing in the hall.
There were also several large packages and large sacks placed nearby.
Qipan: "What is this...?"
Qi Pan had never seen Meng Yi before, and did not recognize the person in front of him.
Ying Zheng said, "Master, this is Meng Yi, the man I sent to plant and cultivate cassava."
Um?
Meng Yi?
The people sent by Zheng Ge to plant and cultivate cassava?
Qi Pan looked at Meng Yi, "Are you Meng Tian's younger brother?"
Meng Yi bowed to Qi Pan and said, "That's right."
"Meng Yi has met the Imperial Master."
"Ah, no need to be so polite."
Qipan asked, "Are these the cassava you brought back from growing them?"
"no."
Meng Yi said, "Only a part of it is. The other several large bags are cassava stalks."
Cassava stalks?
Qi Pan walked to a large sack, squatted down, and untied the rope that tied the sack.
The bag was filled with a large bag of cassava stalks.
There was still fresh soil on the cassava stalks.
Meng Yi opened another bag of cassava.
"Master, this bag here contains cassava."
Qipan walked over to take a look.
Wow.
"This cassava is growing really well, quite big."
Meng Yi said, "It's all thanks to the recipe for composting and fertilizing given by the Imperial Master."
"I followed your recipe to fertilize and loosen the soil for the cassava."
“That’s what makes cassava grow so well.”
Qi Pan: "You're welcome. I have to thank you, Master Meng, for taking such good care of Cassava."
"I just moved my pen, I didn't do anything."
Seeing Qi Pan and Meng Yi greeting each other politely, Ying Zheng smiled and interrupted.
"Alright, alright."
"Don't be polite, Imperial Master and Lord Meng. You all deserve the credit for the cassava planting."
Ying Zheng ordered Xia Lin to collect the cassava and cassava stalks.
I took out some more cassava, washed it and steamed it in a pot.
Several court ministers who were summoned by Ying Zheng temporarily also came.
When they saw Meng Yi, they were so surprised that they didn't recognize him for a moment.
After all, the current Meng Yi is very different from before.
After all, Meng Yi before was a civil servant, gentle and elegant.
Meng Yi, who was now standing in front of everyone, had a face several shades darker and had lost a lot of weight.
There were many calluses and scars on the exposed hands caused by labor.
Feng Quji reached out and patted Meng Yi on the shoulder, "Master Meng, thank you for your hard work."
Meng Yi, "Thank you, Lord Feng. I don't feel any hardship."
He was willing to do what he was ordered to do to plant and cultivate cassava.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, he never feels tired.
Ying Zheng briefly explained the yield and planting methods of cassava to his ministers.
The ministers were shocked!
"What? The annual output of cassava is several times that of millet?!"
“This is too scary!”
"With this cassava, who would still grow millet?"
"Yes, the yield of millet compared to cassava is quite different."
"As expected of a fine variety brought out by the Imperial Master, the yield is astonishing!"
"Yes, this cassava is comparable to corn."
"We in the Great Qin have corn, and now we have cassava. In a few years, the people will no longer have to go hungry."
"It's a pity that cassava can only be grown in hot and humid areas. Otherwise, the entire Daqin would be planted with cassava."
"Why worry about being hungry?"
Plates of steamed cassava were brought out of the pot by palace servants and placed in front of Ying Zheng, Qi Pan and a group of ministers.
A minister looked at the steaming food on the plate in confusion.
"Is this...steamed cassava?"
Qi Pan said, "Yes."
“Before cooking, the cassava must be cleaned and cut into small pieces.”
"The steamed cassava is soft, sweet and has a great taste."
Qi Pan picked up a piece of cassava and said, "The outer layer is the skin of the cassava. You can peel it off and not eat it."
As he spoke, Qi Pan took a bite of the cassava, which was soft and sticky.
"You can't eat too much cassava. It's so starchy it makes you choke..."
Qi Pan stretched his neck and patted his chest with his hand.
Ying Zheng: "You all, please try it too."
He picked up a piece of cassava and handed it to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi took it with both hands and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Very good!
His Majesty actually gave him cassava to eat with his own hands!
That’s so good for him!
What an honor it is for him!
After Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi had taken the cassava to eat, Feng Quji, Wang Wan and other ministers took up the cassava one after another.
Learn to eat it like Qi Pan, peel the cassava skin and then take a bite.
immediately......
“Bang!”
“Ahem…”
A group of ministers stretched their necks, stared, and patted their chests.
The national teacher is right.
This cassava is really starchy and choking.
However, it tastes really good.
Both powdery and glutinous.
It also has a sweet taste.
The most important thing is that it gives you a strong sense of fullness.
After eating a small piece of cassava and drinking two sips of tea, they actually felt full.
You don’t even have to eat dinner.
..........
After discussion, Ying Zheng selected several counties for cassava cultivation.
All selected counties plant cassava in large quantities.
In addition to Meng Yi, Ying Zheng also appointed several other ministers to take specific responsibilities.
