The people in the sweet potato field here have just picked out the sweet potatoes and have started to weigh them to see how many kilograms they are.
Lord Li from the Ministry of Rites calculated for a long time, and the final number shocked him.
The emperor never found out how many kilograms of sweet potatoes there were, but he already had an idea in his mind. Looking at so many sweet potatoes, he thought it must be a lot, but he didn't know how they would taste.
The young general brought these sweet potatoes to the capital. Since he knew that they could produce several thousand kilograms per mu and be used to make sweet potato seeds, he dared not eat them and has not tasted them until now.
I don’t know if the sweet potato chips are as delicious as the one the little general said, but looking at the sweet potatoes, I think there must be a lot of them!
Lord Li from the Ministry of Rites walked up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the total weight is over 6,000 kilograms."
When they got this number, all the ministers around gasped.
6,000 jin! It's a lot more than what the young general said.
Xie Jinan said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, when we were in Taoliu Village, the land was relatively poor, so there wouldn't be that much to grow.
The land in our royal garden is all top-quality farmland, and it will definitely yield a lot more crops than the land in Taoliu Village."
The emperor couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, "Great! This is a great achievement.
6,000 kilograms per acre!"
At this moment, Lord Zhao only felt the burning pain from being hit on the face. He had thought that it was impossible to weigh more than a thousand pounds, but it turned out to be 6,000 pounds!
All the ministers were amazed, and some smart ones even thought of the importance of food in the future.
The old general who guarded the country was also staring blankly at this time, as the field was covered with piles of sweet potatoes.
As long as the sweet potatoes are edible! With a yield of several thousand kilograms per mu, no one will starve to death in the future of the Great Dynasty.
The soldiers on the frontier no longer have to fight on an empty stomach!
The emperor was so happy that he didn't know what to say. The young general looked at the people he brought with him and said, "Go and make some sweet potatoes according to my method, and let the ministers taste them."
Several people nodded quickly after hearing the young general's order, and soon someone came with firewood and started two big fires.
Some people picked some sweet potatoes and threw them into the fire, while others started to boil water in a pot, and the rest quickly washed the sweet potatoes and cleaned the mud off them.
The sweet potatoes were thrown into the pot, and a bamboo sieve was placed on top to steam some more sweet potatoes.
Seeing so many ways of doing things, the emperor couldn't help but nod his head.
Seeing the emperor's joy, Xie Jinan quickly explained: "You can roast it and eat it! You can also steam it and cook it into soup. There are other ways that people need to explore on their own."
The emperor nodded, and all the ministers were looking forward to it.
Soon the fragrant aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted out.
The young general followed the example of Yun Nian'an when he was at Old Yun's house and found a wooden stick to pick out the sweet potatoes from the fire.
He took it first and let it cool for a while, then peeled it and handed it to the emperor. "Your Majesty, please enjoy it."
The emperor looked at the eunuch Fu beside him. After eunuch Fu immediately tested the poison and found it was ok, he nodded to the emperor.
The emperor took a bite and although it was still a little hot, the sweet taste really captured his heart.
He looked at the Prime Minister in front of him and said, "Quick! Try it too."
He glanced at the old general who was guarding the country again.
The old general didn't need the emperor's call. He stepped forward, changed his left hand to his right hand, and started to play the piano with a hissing sound.
