Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 438 Live up to the Spring!

The carriage rattled along the small road in the Weihe Plain, and soon arrived at the sweet potato plantation that Her Majesty the Empress secretly planted!

After getting off the carriage, needless to say about many trivial matters, Shangguan Wan'er has already arranged everything properly. Although it is a visit in a micro-clothes, it is only slightly inferior in terms of etiquette. This emperor still has the standard, the empress Not much to say, after getting off the car, I went straight to the sweet potato plantation!

Di Ping'an and Shangguan Wan'er followed the Empress. The sweet potato plantation chosen by the Empress was a fertile field near the Wei River.

And the one thousand catties of sweet potatoes that Di Pingan contributed to the empress have all been planted in this fertile field at this moment. The area of ​​​​the garden where sweet potatoes are planted is not large. The mother species of sweet potato is cultivated,
And after all the mother plants of this mu of land are completed in the future, at least thousands of mu of sweet potatoes can be planted.

After this wave of bumper harvests, next year's sweet potato planting area will expand to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of acres. In three to four years, sweet potatoes will be able to spread all over the country. This is the strength of sweet potatoes!
The survival rate is high, and the production rate is also high. It can be said that it is the first holy thing to save lives in the feudal dynasty. The population of the Qing Dynasty can be hundreds of millions, relying on sweet potatoes.
Otherwise, the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong would not be blown up. It is so magical. It is a pity that the sweet potato appeared too late.
If it could have appeared 2000 years earlier, in the Qin, Han, Tang, Ming, and Song dynasties, then the entire world situation would have changed drastically!

But it is a pity that sweet potatoes appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and it was a closed-door Qing Dynasty. The great powers were beginning to develop industrial civilization, but the Qing Dynasty still claimed to be a kingdom of heaven and disdain to do business with foreign countries. The Chinese civilization has been ruined so abruptly!

These thoughts were just fleeting in Di Ping'an's mind, and before the voice of his heart could even be expressed, the Empress naturally didn't hear it. After all, these were just thoughts one by one, and they were quite different from normal voices of complaints. The Empress can hear Di Ping'an's inner voice, but she can't even know what Di Ping'an is thinking, otherwise it would be too scary!
"Ping An, take a look, this is the sweet potato I asked them to grow, does it look like this?"

Seeing the green spring in front of her eyes, the empress couldn't help but be filled with joy at the moment. The sweet potato seedlings on the field at this moment are really green, and compared with the other seedlings that have just stepped out, they are simply not one. No wonder this sweet potato has such a high yield. If you don't look at anything else, just look at the growth momentum, which is not comparable to other crops!

However, when the Empress talked about this topic, a trace of shame still inevitably flashed across her face. There was no way, at this moment, the Empress suddenly remembered the joke she had made back then,

He and Shangguan Wan'er thought that one mu of land could yield three to four thousand catties, and those crops must be as tall as trees, maybe even taller than trees,

Because only in this way can these sweet potatoes bigger than fists be produced, but in the end, I did not expect that these sweet potatoes do not grow on trees, nor are they seeds, but have such magical planting and cultivation methods. method!
Shangguan Wan'er's face is also a little embarrassed at the moment, obviously, like the empress, she has thought of the embarrassing incident at the beginning

"That's right, Your Majesty, that's it, but these sweet potato seedlings are still immature, let them grow for another six or seven days, and then they can all be harvested! As for this planting method? When the time comes Cut all these sweet potato seedlings into finger-length pieces, insert them into the soil after the spring rain, and they will be able to grow naturally!"

At this moment, Di Pingan didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the younger brother and Shangguan Wan'er. Instead, he solemnly introduced that seeing Di Ping'an being so knowledgeable, Shangguan Wan'er's expression returned to normal immediately, but the empress' expression on the side was a little strange. It's so beautiful, because at this moment, Di Ping'an's voice rang in Her Majesty's mind again!
[Looking at the empress's little face turning red, she must have thought of that incident at the beginning, but thinking about it, it's really funny, thinking that sweet potatoes are seeds that grow on trees tens of meters high , haha, now that I think about it, it really makes people laugh! 】

Di Ping'an couldn't help laughing for a moment, but his face was serious, which reassured Shangguan Wan'er, but made the empress worry!
Although Di Pingan kept complaining in his heart, he still handed over everything that should be taught, including how to cut and cut these sweet potato seedlings, and handed them all over to the officials of the Royal Manor. Really write down what Di Ping'an said verbatim,
He didn't dare to be careless at all, and no one raised any opinions on Di Ping'an's behavior. After all, the name of this civil and military champion,

Nowadays, no one knows who doesn't know, not to mention that the empress personally ordered it. Although the officials of the royal manor are also officials, they are all small officials who are as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. It can already be said that Sansheng is lucky, so how dare he show any face in front of the empress!
"Okay, this sweet potato planting is almost all these things, and you should be able to see the harvest three or four months after the cuttings!"

After Di Ping'an finished explaining the secrets of growing sweet potatoes, he immediately turned around and reported to Empress Hui!
"Your Majesty, I have already told them the method of planting sweet potatoes. There should be no problem. I will wait three or four months to see the results, but I reckon it should be a good harvest!"

Di Pingan immediately said respectfully, and he couldn't help but look forward to the effect of this wave of sweet potatoes. Although it is very common for an acre of sweet potatoes to produce three thousand catties of sweet potatoes, as the saying goes, the products produced by the system must be high-quality products. Each sweet potato plant is a good variety. These well-developed sweet potato vines are even as thick as a little finger. One can imagine how tenacious their vitality is.

In addition, the empress specially provided such a fertile field for planting, which is equivalent to the yield per mu cultivated by high-quality seeds and high-yield fields is definitely more than three thousand catties!

After all, ordinary people would never grow sweet potatoes in such a good land, it is indeed a bit wasteful, just find a piece of land, sweet potato seedlings can be planted directly, where is such a good farmland needed,

After all, most fertile fields are used to grow rice and wheat, which is the real food. Although sweet potatoes are high-yield, they can’t be eaten as food. They are prone to malnutrition and fart!
"Ah That's good!"

The Empress's face is not very good-looking at the moment. Although Di Ping'an's face is respectful, but in his heart, he complained fiercely about His Majesty the Empress,
This made Wu Zetian's face look so good, even if the Empress didn't turn her face on the spot, it was already enough to give Di Ping'an face!
"Your Majesty, it's still early in the day, and the Wei River is even more fishing season. Your Majesty might as well go fishing!"

Shangguan Wan'er who was at the side couldn't help but said cautiously, Shangguan Wan'er was a little confused by the empress's situation at the moment,

Say happy, it’s really not like being happy, say angry, and it’s really not like being angry. I feel that the empress is a little depressed at the moment, but why is she a little happy? Feel it!
"Well, that's fine!"

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er talking about fishing, a smile suddenly appeared on the Empress's face, which seemed to raise her interest a little bit!
The empress doesn't have many hobbies. Besides being an emperor, fishing is one of the few hobbies and hobbies of the empress. She even built a fishing pond in the palace for this reason.

However, the empress is usually busy with government affairs, so she doesn't have much time to go fishing, and even if she manages to squeeze out some time, the empress spends it playing mahjong and fighting landlords, and she has completely given up her fishing pleasure

Today's Weibo private visit, the empress came prepared, she came out after finishing all the government affairs of the court, so if there is nothing else to do today, then you can really take a good rest!
After all, this great spring cannot be let down, right!
