"Is it tasty?"
"Delicious! The best food on earth! The meat is delicious!" Li Yuanzhao shouted, "My tongue hurts a little, but I feel a little comfortable. What's going on?"
"It's spicy! That's what peppers are like. Your Highness will like it more and more as you eat it!" Fang Zheng picked up the wooden stick beside him and pulled the potatoes out of the stove.
He put the chopsticks in front of Li Yuanzhao.
Looking at the little potato rolling on the ground, Li Yuanzhao said with some disdain: "I won't eat this, it's very dirty."
"Your Highness, all people in the world will eat this in the future. Why don't you set an example by trying it first?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhao took the potato, blew on the surface, gently tore open the skin, and took a small bite.
“The taste is just average.”
"That's right! We need it to be plain. If it has a strong flavor like sweet potatoes, people will get tired of it very quickly. We people are smart. We can research at least a hundred ways to cook this thing in the future!"
Li Yuanzhao didn't say anything, but savored the food carefully. He then dipped the potatoes in some soup and started eating.
Soon, the table was clean of food and the two of them were full.
Li Yuanzhao lifted his robe, stroked his belly and said, "Old Fang, give me some of this stuff. I'll have someone send it to the eastern suburbs to plant and cultivate more so that the people can eat it soon."
"That sweet potato is indeed a bit greasy. I felt sick after eating it for three days. I guess ordinary people have long been tired of it."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"Lao Fang, I... I hired 300 more reporters. Each of them gets one or two taels per month, plus the expenses for field trips, canteen subsidies, and other miscellaneous expenses. I'm afraid I'm going to lose money."
"But I can't kick them all out, right? After all, they've already been hired. I mentioned cutting their wages, and the people below started making a fuss behind my back. Shen Yi can't control himself. What should I do now?"
Fang Zheng frowned and said, "Why are you hiring so many people? We have already hired a batch and adding another 300 people is already saturated."
"Chen Yi is leaving! Several key members are preparing to become officials. The people below are not capable, so we can only find more people." Li Yuanzhao imitated Fang Zhengyi and picked up a piece of hay from the stove to pick his teeth.
"Father has already met Shen Yi, and he appreciated him very much and gave him several options. He can choose whether to stay in the capital or be assigned to a post outside. He was about to decide, but he heard that you were back and wanted to wait a little longer."
Fang Zhengyi rested his chin on his hand, with a thoughtful expression.
I really have to find a way to take care of Shen Yi. After all, he is the best employee of the company, an elite of cattle and horses. If I arrange it for him, isn't this a ready-made cake embryo?
Those new employees who are clamoring for a pay raise aren't a problem... I really don't know how dangerous the workplace is. Looks like I have to learn a new lesson.
"Lao Fang, what are you thinking about? Tell me what happened to you before." Li Yuanzhao said.
"Oh! This is very interesting. I will tell His Highness..."
