"Yes, if one day there are still extra sweet potatoes to feed pigs, then all the people of the Tang Dynasty can eat meat, which is really a great thing."
Du Ruhui also spoke up.
The other ministers also seconded the motion.
They are naturally all wise people.
If the sweet potato yield can reach 20 dan per mu, the food shortage problem can be solved.
Once we can open up wasteland and plant sweet potatoes all over the country, there will not only be enough sweet potatoes for people to eat.
It can also be used to raise pigs.
In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty could all eat meat.
This is indeed a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
Li Er finally felt relieved and said to several ministers:
"I am interested in recruiting this person to serve as an official in the imperial court. What are your opinions?"
Several ministers knew that His Majesty was interested in talented people.

Li Er glanced at the crowd and noticed that Wei Zheng did not react at this time, so he asked:
"Wei Zheng, what do you say?"
At this time, Wei Zheng had his eyes slightly closed, holding a teacup with an intoxicated look.

In the end, it became a story of a wise ruler and loyal ministers.

Li Er asked again as a reminder.
Wei Zheng reacted at this time and quickly replied:
"I only felt a sweet taste lingering in my mouth, so rich that it could not be dissolved. Then the sweetness overflowed, and the fragrance lingered..."
As they were talking, Wei Zheng noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
"Your Majesty, may I ask how this tea tastes?"
Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up and he burst into laughter.
Seeing this, several ministers couldn't help laughing.
"Lord Wei, His Majesty is asking for your opinion on recruiting Zhuang Zhou to serve as an official in the court?"
Wei Zheng's face was greatly embarrassed. He quickly put down his teacup, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty! This man is a rare talent. I believe he can be recruited for use by the court."
