Comprehensive Video: Daily life from the courtyard

The black-faced Lord Ye who had just reprimanded Lin Nan in Fengtian Temple said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, can you taste the taste first?"
The emperor said to Sun Xun, Wu Jingguan and Ye adults, "If you don't want to wait, you can try it first."
Sun Xun and the others picked up a piece and tasted it. It tasted really good, and it was easy for the common people to accept it.For the people who are usually covered with wild vegetables, this sweet potato can also be called delicious.And there are sweet potato vines on the ground to feed pigs, which kills two birds with one stone.

"Fang Jiading, just now your servant said that you should be careful not to break the sweet potatoes when you dig them, otherwise you won't be able to make seeds. What's going on?" Mr. Ye, Minister of the Household Department, is very concerned about these sweet potatoes. In the past two years, there have been many natural disasters in various places. , The Ministry of Households wants to distribute food for disaster relief, but there is no food to distribute.

Suddenly seeing the high-yielding sweet potato, I was very excited, and I wished that tomorrow the whole country would grow it so that the common people could have enough to eat.

"There is indeed this reason. Although sweet potatoes are in large quantities, they are not easy to store. When selecting seeds for seedling cultivation, the peel and flesh must be intact."Lin Nan replied with a look of embarrassment.

"Then how do you preserve it?" Emperor Yongjia also tried a piece of sweet potato and asked.

"Caomin also tried many methods, and finally concluded that the sweet potatoes used as seeds should be dug out intact, then placed in the sun for three or four days to evaporate the water, and finally must be placed in a dry cellar that cannot see the sun. Among them, it can be stored for a long time. If you want to eat a variety of flowers, you can slice them and dry them or make them into sweet potato powder," Lin Nan explained.

"It's not difficult to do, just to ensure the yield, even if it is only planted at the most suitable time of March and July, it is enough," Emperor Yongjia made a final statement.

Thirty or forty guards here have already dug up an acre of land, and the head of the forbidden army came up to report, "Your Majesty, the ministers have cleaned up all the sweet potatoes in this mu of sweet potato fields, and it is confirmed that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is about eleven stones." Left and right, I congratulate the emperor for obtaining this fine breed."

"Congratulations, my lords, for the good breeding of the emperor," Sun Xun, Liang Jingguan and others also congratulated.

"Okay, okay, all you gentlemen, get up. Fang Jiading, do you have any rewards you want for your meritorious service in donating grain and seeds? Tell me and I will give it to you." Emperor Yongjia said to Lin Nan with a smile.

Lin Nan knew that he could not be trusted by Emperor Yongjia now, even if he offered sweet potatoes, he would only get gold and silver rewards, so don't dream of becoming a king by relying on this.

But still have to work hard to become Emperor Yongjia's confidant.People always have the dream of becoming a prince and king, but whether it can be realized is another matter.

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't have anything they want, they just want to ask the Emperor for one thing," Lin Nan said with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"What's the matter, tell me and listen." Emperor Yongjia was in a good mood today and was a little more patient with Lin Nan.

"Caomin also has a kind of grain called corn, but Caomin's manpower and material resources are not enough, so the amount of planting is not large. I want the emperor to give it a try." Lin Nan thought about it and decided to take out corn as well. The corn yield has been optimized by the system. It's easy to plant if it's big, although you can keep it for yourself in the future, and the benefits will be greater.

But one is that I will definitely pay special attention to Emperor Yongjia in the future. Maybe the emperor will know about it as soon as I have a new type of food here. Starved to death due to lack of food due to natural disasters, he is also a man with golden fingers.You can't just care about your own temporary gains and losses.

It's better to pack the food together and hand it over.Although I still have potatoes, but when everyone eats new food, this potato can only enrich the diversity of food.

"How's the yield of this corn?" Emperor Yongjia asked someone to investigate Lin Nan a few days ago, and knew that he often went to the fields to grow grain by himself when he was in Taiyuan.We must know that most of the Confucian scholars and scholars nowadays are inferior in everything, and only high in reading.I'm afraid it will kill them, and they don't want to work in the fields themselves.

It is said in the report that Fang Jia Ding always grows two kinds of products, one is sweet potato, and the other should be the corn that Fang Jia Ding mentioned.

"I personally think that corn is better than sweet potato. Although the yields of the two are similar, corn is easier to preserve. After the corn is dried, it can be ground into flour and become a staple food. The disadvantage is that it can only be planted once a year. It can be harvested around August and September after sowing in May. At other times, it is not easy to survive if it is planted, and the harvest is meaningless, and the planting period of it and sweet potato is too close, it is really impossible for the grassroots to grow both kinds of plants at the same time." Lin Nan said with a troubled face.

Ye Shangshu and Prince An coughed violently. This is human talk, no one else can find good grain seeds, but he is so lucky that he doesn't know what kind to plant.

Sun Xun also looked at Lin Nan with complicated eyes. He didn't expect that his son-in-law, who didn't care, would set off one big thunder after another.Relying on the grain seeds he donated alone, as long as he doesn't risk his life in the future, the future will definitely be bright based on the contribution of the grain seeds donated.

"Okay, that's where the corn is." Emperor Yongjia really didn't know that Fang Jiading had such a big surprise for him.It was the first time since he succeeded to the throne that he was so happy. This was really his lucky star.

Lin Nan brought Emperor Yongjia and others to the warehouse, where three sacks of corn seeds were piled up.Lin Nan opened the bag and showed it to Emperor Yongjia and others. Three bags were full of golden seeds!
"Your majesty, don't look at the corn seeds, which are not as big as sweet potato seeds, but the grass people think that corn is better. Last time, the grass people only used five catties of seeds per acre of land, but they harvested about ten stones per acre of land. And fresh corn You can get more than 70 catties for [-] catties of dried and ground cornmeal. It’s just that it costs a lot to convert it into seeds. It takes [-] catties of corn to get [-] catties of seeds, but grass people still think that corn is more powerful.” Lin Nan analyzed to Emperor Yongjia .

Before Emperor Yongjia said anything, Lord Ye and several other Shangshu adults held their chests and looked breathless. Lin Nan immediately shut up, he was afraid that if he continued, they would really faint. It's so exciting.

"Okay, okay, Fang Jia Dingzhen will reward you heavily." Emperor Yongjia was also very excited, he thought that the people under his rule would have enough to eat.As a prosperous and famous emperor worshiped by the common people, these two kinds of food are really the pillows that I send to my door when I doze off.

Sun Xun and Liang Jingguan looked at each other and didn't say anything. They would definitely be rewarded heavily if they donated more than ten stone per mu.

Liang Jingguan was still in a good mood. Although he didn't know why Fang Jiading didn't report to the emperor through Sun Xun, he was happy as long as Sun Xun didn't get any benefits.

Sun Xun glanced at Liang Jingguan and knew what this person was thinking, but he didn't care that he was with the holy family now, even if he hadn't been directly involved in the matter of offering grain seeds, but because of the fact that Fang Jiading was his son-in-law, then he The benefits deserved can't escape.

But in the future, I will have more contacts with this son-in-law. I don't want to say whether this person is capable or not, but my luck is not so good.He felt that Lingnan was short of grain and needed to find high-yield grain seeds, and he found the grain seeds.

I also don't want to think that none of the princes in the court have looked for it, even His Majesty has been looking for high-yield grain seeds in private, but no one with a wider network and financial resources has found anything.He, the son of a seventh-rank county magistrate, found it as soon as he said he was looking for it. There is more than one kind of thing that you say is irritating or not. Luck and fate are so wonderful that you can't believe it.
