Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 330 On How to Grow Sweet Potatoes!
"Very good, I will see the result in ten days!"

Seeing that Di Ping'an did not continue to object, Wu Zetian couldn't help but nodded, very good, this is how he looks like an official under him!

After a pause, the Empress asked Di Ping'an again: "Do you still have this sweet potato here?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there are still some!"

Di Pingan said immediately, but he was guessing in his heart what the empress wanted, and he probably couldn't keep his mahjong set later, and these sweet potatoes probably couldn't be kept either.

But forget it, when I just saw the empress coming, I already had a guess in my heart, anyway, it's not a valuable thing, so just take it away.

"I will order the soldiers of the Imperial Army to come and fetch a thousand catties later, and you are ready to send it to the palace later!" After receiving Di Ping'an's affirmative answer, the empress nodded immediately,
"What, a thousand catties, your majesty has to eat a thousand catties until the year of the monkey?"

But after hearing His Majesty's request, Di Pingan's eyes widened for a moment. Although the sweet potatoes are not expensive, they are not cheap either. A little salted fish can only be exchanged for ten catties of sweet potatoes. The empress now wants a thousand catties, that is Ten points of salted fish value, although these ten points of salted fish value are not too important to Di Pingan,
But it is not so easy to get it, it takes three months to clock in. Although he has accumulated a lot of salted fish value now, for Di Pingan, this salted fish value is like a treasury The money in the bag is the same, there is never too much!
"Who told you that I'm going to eat it?" The empress couldn't help but look at Di Ping'an strangely for a moment. How could I just use it to satisfy my appetite?
Although the taste of this sweet potato is indeed very good, what I value more is that this sweet potato can produce three to four thousand catties per mu, which is more than ten times higher than the current grain crops of Datang.
Such a fetish, my goal is naturally to promote this kind of sweet potato in the whole Tang Dynasty, how could I think of eating it?Do you think this empress is an idiot?

"It's not for eating, so His Majesty wants it?"

Di Pingan froze for a moment, then couldn't help but think,

[My sweetheart, isn't this girl thinking of planting sweet potatoes directly? 】

[It looks like it is, by the way, is this empress a bit smart?But then again, if the emergence of a new food crop cannot attract the attention of the emperor, then there may be some problems! 】

[However, should I tell the empress that this sweet potato can produce three to four thousand catties per mu? It's not too late! 】

Di Ping'an couldn't help but think for a moment, in fact Di Ping'an didn't expect that the empress wanted to grow sweet potatoes!
(Tell me why it is called sweet potato instead of sweet potato. Sweet potato means something from abroad, but now this stuff is directly produced from the protagonist system, so it is called sweet potato instead of sweet potato!)

However, Di Ping'an's heartfelt words were still heard verbatim by the empress,

For the Empress, this is just a normal operation. After all, even if he doesn’t want to listen to Di Ping’an’s voice, he can’t help it. It’s not like he can listen to this thing if he wants to, and he can turn it off if he wants to. There’s no switch. !
"Of course I was right in my words. For such a crop, I also want to see how the yield will be. Maybe it can become a new food crop in the Tang Dynasty. Don't you think so? Master Di!"

The empress said to Di Ping'an with a smile, the empress couldn't help but sneer in her heart at this moment, do you think I don't know what this sweet potato is for?Wrong, big mistake, I know everything, I just don't want to say it!

"Your Majesty is wise. You can do whatever you say. The thousand catties of sweet potatoes are fine, but does your Majesty know how to plant them?" Di Ping'an was silent for a while, and then asked the Empress immediately,

This sweet potato is indeed high-yielding, and it is extremely drought-resistant, and it is easy to grow, but the problem is that if you don't know how to grow it, you may not be able to grow sweet potatoes!
"Di Ping'an, do you think I really don't touch the spring water with my fingers? Although I don't know much about farming, I also know that we must first plow the land, then sow the seeds, cover the soil, water and wait for the weather to harvest the crops. , this sweet potato must be about the same!"

The empress snorted for a moment, feeling that Di Ping'an looked down on him a bit. Although he had never planted the land himself, as the saying goes, just because you haven't eaten pork doesn't mean you haven't seen pigs running!
[I knew it, I knew you had to grow it like this, and if you can grow it like this, I will count you amazing! 】

Di Ping'an snorted coldly in his heart for a moment, did the Empress's words count wrongly?It’s not wrong, it’s not wrong to go anywhere, after all, this is the way of farming, and farmers everywhere are farming like this, but the problem is that there is a huge difference between sweet potato and ordinary crops. !

"What do you mean? Isn't the sweet potato buried directly in the soil? Could it be that it can't be made in the water, just like the lotus root?"

After hearing Di Ping'an's voice, the empress couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Is there something wrong with what she just said?

Isn't that how ordinary people in this world farm land?Why is this sweet potato different?

"What's the matter, Di Ping'an, is there something wrong with what I said?"

The female emperor couldn't help asking in a deep voice, this matter must be carefully considered. If the sweet potato can really be like what Di Ping'an said, it will definitely be a fetish that will change Datang. Naturally, such a precious thing must Figure it out!
"My Majesty, there is nothing wrong with what your majesty said, but there are still some discrepancies in the details. The first few steps your majesty said are indeed the method of growing sweet potatoes, but the sweet potatoes grown in this way can only be called mother plants. But real sweet potatoes are not grown like this!" Di Pingan took out another big sweet potato from behind, and then explained to the Empress in detail, mainly because Di Pingan didn't want to see a thousand catties of sweet potatoes being ruined by the Empress up!
"Your Majesty, the sweet potato is buried in the ground and grows countless vines. After these vines come out, you need to cut these vines and cut them into finger-length vines, and then insert these vines into the ground after the spring rain. In this way, it can grow into a sweet potato!"

Di Ping'an quickly explained that this is the most efficient way to grow sweet potatoes. When it comes to asexual reproduction, the growth of sweet potatoes is absolutely unparalleled!
