Iron Dynasty

Thirty-two stones.

Pang Yukun's heart almost jumped out of excitement.

That's right, it's thirty-two stones. It's absolutely true. Kui Wu summed up the weighing numbers.

Thirty-two stones, thirty-two stones! Pang Yukun pretended to be a madman and kept saying: The common people can produce only two stones of grain per mu of land, and one mu of potatoes is worth sixteen mu of rice, and a family of three cultivates land. A hundred acres, the harvest is only two hundred stone, if you plant potatoes, you can get three thousand two hundred stone, and this family can afford to have ten children.

Kui Wu looked at the crazy Pang Yukun and swallowed, then looked at Xiao Ming with a calm face, and said carefully: Your Highness, what's wrong with Pang Changshi.

Insanely happy. Xiao Ming laughed.

Is this crazy, or happy? Kui Wu shook his head while holding the account book.

Xiao Ming patted Kui Wu on the shoulder at this time, You did a good job. Starting from today, the status of this slave will be lifted. As for the household registration, the government will handle it for you.

Kui Wu was stunned for a moment, and a surge of ecstasy surged into his heart. Like Pang Yukun, he laughed excitedly and kept shouting, I'm not a slave anymore, I'm not a slave anymore.

All the slaves were speechless, one crazy, and then another crazy.

Looking at the excited two, Xiao Ming laughed happily. The next step should be for the government to encourage the people to have more children. Population is the fighting force these days.

In the evening, Xiao Ming listened to Pang Yukun's laughter all the way back to the city. The high yield of potatoes completely conquered this long history.

Separated in Qingzhou City, Xiao Ming returned to the palace with a small bag of potatoes on his horse. At this time, the dining room of the palace was preparing for dinner.

Your Highness, what is this bag?

Fei Yue'er, who was familiar with the environment in the yard, came to Xiao Ming accompanied by Xiao Huan.

Today Xiao Ming is in a particularly happy mood. These potatoes are not only a problem to eat, but also another business growth point in Qingzhou. If these potatoes are sold all over the Great Yu Kingdom, it will be another huge profit point.

This is a potato, princess. Today, the king will show you the magic of Qingzhou.

After all, Xiao Ming ordered people to go to the dining room to get a coal briquettes stove and an iron pan, as well as prepare a cutting board and a kitchen knife, and then he opened up in the yard to prepare a modern cuisine.

His Royal Highness, what are you doing? Xiao Ming's movements attracted Aster and Luluo, all of them were surprised, Fei Yue'er couldn't help asking.

Xiao Ming smiled and said: Don't ask now, you will understand later when you eat.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Ming began to shred the potatoes, and then blanched the shredded potatoes in hot water for a while. Then, Xiao Ming asked the servants to fetch saltpeter and a large pot of water.

The saltpeter was put into the water, white mist began to appear in the basin, and the water gradually froze. At this time, Xiao Ming placed the bowl with the shredded potatoes in the middle of the water, and covered it with a layer of cotton cloth.

This native method of making ice with saltpeter has long existed in the Great Yu Kingdom. It is not a secret recipe. The dignitaries of the Great Yu Kingdom also use the method of making ice with saltpeter to relieve the heat in summer. Therefore, Xiao Ming came up with this trick and everyone was not surprised.

After freezing in ice water for a while, waiting for the shredded potatoes to freeze, Xiao Ming took out the shredded potatoes, put them in a boiling oil pan, sprinkled them with salt, and fished them out when they were cooked.

The golden french fries exuded a tempting fragrance on the plate, and the onlookers suddenly swallowed.

His Royal Highness, what is this? Fei Yue'er blinked her eyes.

French fries. Xiao Ming picked up a french fries and brought it to Fei Yue'er's mouth. Fei Yue'er's face was flushed with such an intimate gesture.

But this is the palace after all, and they are all his own. Fei Yue'er still took a bite. The golden fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the deep-fried fragrance was fragrant.

After just one bite of Fei Yue'er, she was conquered by french fries.

At this time, Xiao Ming began to explain the source of potatoes and how to grow and eat potatoes. At this time, everyone understood.

The yield per mu is 32 stones, and it's still so delicious. Fei Yue'er had read poetry and books, and naturally knew what it meant. She said, Your Highness, the benefits of this potato are enough to make the people of the six states rich.

Yes, this king thinks so too. When I came back, I discussed with Pang Yukun that potatoes will be promoted in the past two days, and let the people of the six states plant at least one mu of potatoes, even if they can't finish eating them, they can take them out. I sold it. Xiao Ming was triumphant.

Fei Yue'er nodded and looked at Xiao Ming with a hint of admiration in her heart. This man was not only respected for his status, but most importantly, his various magical abilities made her feel inferior.

Just like in Chang'an, the more I know about Qingzhou, the more I yearn for this place.

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Fei Yue'er's heart suddenly let go, what more could a husband ask for next to such a man?

It's delicious. Fei Yue'er ate another french fries, and she greeted Aster and Luluo, You all come and taste His Royal Highness's craftsmanship.

Luluo likes to eat it the most, and her saliva has been swirling in her mouth for a long time. She timidly picked up a french fries and ate it, her eyes widened, and Aster was not far behind, and Xiaohuan also stretched out her little hand.

Under the attack of the five people, a plate of french fries was quickly wiped out, and then the four of them looked at Xiao Ming begging.

In desperation, Xiao Ming had to fry another pot of french fries. They didn't eat much for dinner this evening, they all ate french fries and were half full.

It wasn't until it was dark and the lanterns in the palace were lit that Fei Yue'er wiped off the oil and returned to the bedroom with satisfaction.

These days, the boat was exhausted, and today I was familiar with various affairs in the palace. When I returned to the dormitory, Fei Yue’er took a nap, and Xiao Ming was also a little tired, so he urged Fei Yue’er to take a bath with him before going to bed.

Fei Yue'er blushed a bit, she still went to the bathroom with Xiao Ming, but when she saw the bathtub, toilet, and sink in the bathroom, she regained her energy, grabbed Xiao Ming's arm and asked around.

Xiao Ming smiled and explained one by one, and also demonstrated it again, which made Fei Yue'er even more surprised.

The hot water flowed into the bathtub from the water tower, and the two of them undressed and took a bath again. Fei Yue'er blinked. At this moment, she suddenly felt like a village girl who entered Chang'an City from the village.

His Royal Highness, are you laughing at Yue'er and don't understand anything? Turning her head and seeing Xiao Ming smiling, Fei Yue'er pouted in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Ming said: How could it be? This king laughed just because he married a beautiful family member.

Fei Yue'er pursed her lips and laughed. She said, Yue'er's marriage to His Highness is also a blessing that has been cultivated for a hundred years. In the future, I only wish to grow old with His Highness.

Looking at Fei Yue'er with no trace of impurities in his smile, Xiao Ming's heart warmed, he finally had a home.
