Zhuo Qihua

To harvest potatoes today, Zhuo Ji was thinking about the yield per mu, and when Emperor Yong'an got up, he also got up.But when he got up, he found a tourmaline bracelet on his wrist.The beads on the tourmaline are all emerald green beads.Emperor Yong'an said: "Your birthday present."

Zhuo Ji raised his hand to take a look: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an then said calmly: "I left a private seal in the palace, and I asked Zhang Xian and Chang Jing to go back and get it."

Zhuo Ji nodded and yawned: "Your Majesty will take a nap with me at noon."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

Emperor Yong'an is absolutely easy to talk about now.

After breakfast, when I came to the field, all the agricultural experts and farmers of the Happy Farm were already there.The officials who accompanied him this time are already waiting.King Qin and King Qi supported the emperor's grandmother.Emperor Yong'an took his paternity and stood under the canopy.When the auspicious time came, Emperor Yong'an issued an order to Feng Xi, and Feng Xi shouted: "The auspicious time has come—start—"

The farmers who had already stood in the field immediately bent down and began to pull potatoes.And the two princes are among these farmers, and they want to taste the joy of harvest with everyone!

When the potatoes were pulled out for the first time, there was a lot of exclamation, the potatoes turned out to be in a bunch!There are five or six large and small potatoes that can be pulled out from this bunch, so how many can be pulled out from this bunch and one acre?

Lin Xieshan had his sleeves tied up and fell to the ground.Shi Yu had his sleeves tied up as well, and he went down to the ground.Chen Changgeng, Guan Minghui, Nian Qing... all the officials were resigned no matter what their purpose was.Bunches of potatoes had been plucked from the ground and piled aside.King Qin asked his personal eunuch to help him tie up his sleeves, and he also went down.Emperor Yong'an and Zhuo Ji didn't stop King Qi from going to the ground either.King Xianyi also went down to the ground, if you look carefully, you can find that the corners of his eyes are a little red.

Everyone is in full swing to pull the potatoes.Under each bunch of potato seedlings, there are three or four less, and seven or eight more!Seeing these strings of potatoes, Emperor Yong'an was very excited.No matter how ignorant he is about farming, he can see how many potatoes there are in this acre of land.Everyone collected firewood with great enthusiasm, and within an hour, all the potatoes in this mu of land were pulled out, and even the two princes couldn't help crying when they saw the harvest of potatoes.

"Weigh! Weigh quickly!"

someone shouted.

Immediately someone lifted the scale directly into the pile of potatoes.The weighing began, and Emperor Yong'an actually felt a little nervous.

Baskets of potatoes were poured into the scales, and the weighers quickly calculated.

"1 stone!"

"2 stone!"

"5 stone!"

"5 stones?! That's 5 stones?!" Hai Shizhang, who hadn't landed, fainted.This small millet yields at most 2 or 3 shi per acre, and this potato has already...

"8 stone!"

"8 stones! There are still so many unweighted!"

The crowd was a sensation, and the people of Tanabe Happy Farm were a sensation.

"10 stone!"

"12 stone!"

The first commoner fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.Immediately afterwards, two, three... All the people of the Hope Farm standing on the ridge of the field knelt down with tears streaming down their faces.They know that this potato can be used as a staple food!staple food!food!One acre of land can produce so much!

"15 stone!"

Even the people who reported the number began to tremble.Emperor Yong'an grabbed Zhuo Ji's hand, Zhuo Ji smiled and looked at the excited people in the field, and grabbed Emperor Yong'an with his backhand.There will be more and more food in the country, and the life of the people in the country will be better and better, not because the country has him, but because there is such a wise and powerful emperor in the country.

In the end, the weight of an acre of potatoes was fixed at 23 shi.Not to mention how the peasants cried, the two princes knelt in the field and cried loudly.This time, the two of them really experienced the joy of a good harvest.Zhuo Ji quickly calculated that 23 stones of potatoes weighed about 3200 catties.One stone in Mata country is about 140 catties in the future.Zhuo Ji discovered in this world that the medicinal herbs here grow well and have good effects.Although new fertilizers are used for the potatoes, they have not been selected. Judging from the size of the potatoes, it can be seen that these potatoes are not of high quality, but one mu of land still produces 3200 catties, which shows the fertility and certain characteristics of the land in this world. .

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Someone yelled, and everyone knelt down and shouted with tears: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live Mata country!"

Zhuo Ji withdrew his hand, took a step back, and knelt down: "Long live Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong'an bent over to help his valet, his voice hoarse: "Get up. Everyone today, reward!"

All the farmers in Happy Farm, young and old, went to the field to harvest potatoes. A total of 5 shi potatoes were harvested in the 137 mu potato experimental field.Some of the harvested potatoes are given away as welfare, and the rest are kept as seeds.After Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji back to the room, Zhuo Ji told Emperor Yong'an how to preserve potatoes.Potatoes are not as easy to store as rice and wheat, but there are still ways to extend the storage time of potatoes.

The potatoes harvested this time will continue to be bred.Such a high-yield potato, if popularized, can definitely relieve the rations of some people, especially in barren land!This time it was to see the effect, so all the potatoes on the 5 mu field were harvested.If the farmers grow it themselves, they can just pull it out when eating. There is no need to harvest it all at once. The land is the best storage place for potatoes.Emperor Yong'an was very happy.Everyone eats potatoes at noon, so try the effect of potatoes as a staple food!

At noon, everyone eats potatoes, and the farmers on the farm also eat potatoes at home!The potatoes are roasted, cut open, spread with dipping sauce, and the chili powder made from the unique peppers on the farm, that taste... The potatoes are cooked, mashed, and fried with shallots and celery. Vegetables are also rice... Potato shreds and batter are fried together into potato cakes...

The Queen Mother was very satisfied with fried mashed potatoes, King Qin and King Qi liked to eat potato cakes, and His Majesty the Emperor thought that roasted potatoes served with cumin powder and chili powder were very refreshing (mouth).

A group of people ate a full stomach of potatoes and found that they would really be full!Veteran ministers like Hai Shizhang cried while eating.Lin Xieshan and Guan Minghui, who came from the military, have already seen the importance of potatoes to the army.

All agricultural experts involved in potato planting, reward!Steward of the farm, reward!The actual managers of the farm, Nan Rong Shi Zhu and Nan Rong Shi Li, two eldest sons, reward!Emperor Yong'an also gave the two the right to go to the court to listen to the government. The two princes knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude. King Xianyi burst into tears with excitement.

The cultivation of potatoes was a great success, and the purpose of the accompanying ministers coming this time was also achieved.In the afternoon of the same day, all the ministers returned to Beijing, while Emperor Yong'an stayed on the farm and had a rare two-person world with his beloved servant.During the afternoon nap, Emperor Yong'an was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all, and so was Zhuo Ji.Turning over, pressing Ai Shi under him, the excited Emperor Yong'an kissed him.When Emperor Yong'an digested his stomach of potatoes by exercising, Zhuo Ji was so tired that he fell asleep. He woke up early in the morning and was forced to do exercise, which made him feel drowsy.

Zhuo Ji fell asleep, but Emperor Yong'an quietly got out of bed.As soon as he left the bedroom, Zhang Xian immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Long live, the servant has brought it back."

"Go inside and watch."

Zhang Xian entered the bedroom.Emperor Yong'an sat down on the Luohan bed in the living room, picked up the diary that had been unlocked, and was in a turbulent mood.

■

Zhuo Ji really suspected that Emperor Yong'an had taken X medicine.Supporting his "old" waist, Zhuo Ji sat down slowly, and said: "Let the kitchen make more soup for your majesty to nourish your majesty."

Xiaohui muttered: "Master, it's you who should make love."

Zhuo Ji: "Well, that's right, I'll make up for it too." After speaking, Zhuo Ji yawned big.

That night, when a certain emperor secretly peeked at Ai Shi's diary, he couldn't help laughing.In today's diary, Zhuo Ji clearly raised doubts.

——Your Majesty has definitely taken X medicine these days, I think I am the person in his 30s, and Your Majesty is the young man in his 20s!

After peeking through the diary, Emperor Yong'an went to bed contentedly.He thought to himself, Ai Shi is really tired these few days, let him have a good rest tomorrow.

Both King Qin and King Qi were sent back to Beijing by Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an was not in Beijing, and the important daily memorials had to be sent to Hope Farm quickly.On this day, Guan Minghui came to the Happy Farm by himself on horseback, and hurried into the farm.Emperor Yong'an was playing backgammon with Aishi in the living room, when he learned that Guan Minghui was coming, he asked Zhang Xian to let him over immediately.

As soon as Guan Minghui came in, he knelt down on one knee, offered a rush performance with both hands, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty! Marquis of Chang'an, Uncle Ping Chang, General Cang, and Qin Zhongyi led the army to invade Nanyue, kill Mengzha, and close Tu Tu. The tea village! Lu Ding, the Baibu village, died of severe wind and disease, and Lu Deng, the son of Lu Ding, returned the Baibu village to the Mata Kingdom, and enshrined His Majesty as the Lord of Southern Guangdong!"

Emperor Yong'an stood up abruptly, and Zhuo Ji also stood up.Zhang Xian took the rush music in surprise and delivered it to His Majesty, Emperor Yong'an grabbed it with one hand and quickly opened it.When he finished reading the contents of the prelude, he suddenly turned to the people around him: "Nanyue...has belonged to the country of Mata..."

Tucha village and Baibu village easily collapsed under the double ravages of severe wind and flood.Guangnan's treatment of the people of Nanyue and the projection of the Buddha statue on the top of the mountain made the people of Nanyue eager to become the people of the Mata country, the subjects of the emperor of the Mata country, and be protected by the emperor of the Mata country.

Qin Su, Pan Beigu, Cang Zhusheng, and Qin Zhongyi led the army into Nanyue, enforcing strict military discipline along the way. Wherever they passed, the sick Nanyue people were sent to the military doctors and military tents of the Mata State for effective isolation and treatment.Qin Zhongyi's special battalion blew up the gate of the main village of Tucha village with grenades and grenades, killing Meng Zha, who was already seriously injured.As soon as Mata country's hot weapons were brought out, Tucha village was in chaos, and there was no resistance at all.

The tea village was easily acquired by the Mata country. After Lu Ding learned of this, he died immediately after being infected with the disease.Lu Ding's second son brought the letter of surrender to meet Qin Su, Pan Beigu and Cang Zhusheng in person.In southern Guangdong, there are already many leaders of small villages who have sent people to contact Cang Zhu students in private, wanting to submit to the Mata country.Today, Baibu Village and Tucha Village have existed in name only. Qin Su, Pan Beigu and Cang Zhusheng quickly took over the two villages according to the plan of Shunyu, imprisoned the important personnel of the two villages, and carried out the investigation of the epidemic situation in southern Guangdong. control.

In the rush, Qin Su implored His Majesty to send more doctors to Nanyue, where there was a severe shortage of doctors.Zhuo Ji immediately suggested that Emperor Yong'an should return to Beijing immediately and take over Nanyue. This is definitely a big deal.Emperor Yong'an can make an order and return to Beijing immediately.On the same day, the Imperial Medical Administration sent doctors to Nanyue for support.

Just when Emperor Yong'an rushed back to the capital with Zhuo Ji, Lin Yi came to Tasong Town with two cannons from the Firearms Battalion, 150 musketeers, and [-] kite team members.Outside the city gate of Tasong Town, two tall towers were built quickly.At nightfall, the torches next to the tower are brightly lit, and the wind is headwind tonight, and the wind speed...

The wind surveyor gave a thumbs up downward, and then quickly descended from the tower.The members of the kite team climbed onto the tower and got ready.Adjust the angle of the two cannons.Following the order of the captain of the kite team, a large fiery red kite flew against the wind, aiming at the original Xifan, Xinlan City, which is now occupied by the northern barbarians.

On the walls of Xinlan City, torches were also brightly lit.The northern barbarian soldiers on the city wall patrolled vigilantly. Since ten days ago, there has been a tense atmosphere in the city of Xinlan.According to reports from the spies, Lin Yi, the deputy commander of the firearms battalion of Mata country, brought two cannons to Tasong Town, along with the kite team and firearms team of Mata country.Outside Tasong Town, the people of Matata built two tall towers.

The great county king of the Northern Man sent the princess and brother Wang to the country of Mata for marriage. When they came back, they said that the big kites of the country of Mata were very scary and could fly high in the sky.The Mata people relied on artillery and big kites to capture the Tarkin Ministry.Now, the people of Mata country have brought the artillery and big kites to Tasong Town, what are they trying to do?

This news has spread quickly to the capital of the northern barbarians, "Mulu City".Yelv Washeng was stunned when he found out.When he left the capital of Mata country, he could be sure that the emperor of Mata country liked the princess and brother Wang very much. Why did he come back so long before Mata country was about to attack Beiman? !Yeluwa panicked, and Yelulongshu panicked too.If it was a real fight, Yelulongshu would not be afraid of Emperor Yong'an, but Yelulongshu would have to be weak about the unknown artillery and big kites in Mata country, because Yeluwasheng had seen the power of big kites with his own eyes.

Here, Yelu Longshu and the ministers of the Northern Man have not yet discussed the reason. Here, amidst the screams of the Northern Man soldiers, the bright red kite flew over their city wall, leaving the Academy of Sciences and A grenade newly developed by the Military Research Institute.

"boom!"

Xinlan City is in chaos.When all the big kites flew into Xinlan City and bombarded it indiscriminately, the two cannons fired forcefully and easily blasted open the gate of Xinlan City. Lin Yi led two hundred musketeers from the musketeer team to attack Xinlan City, which was completely in chaos, and easily killed them. He appointed the general of the Beiman garrison in Xinlan City.

When the news was sent back to Mulu City, Yelulongshu realized for the first time what it means to feel cold all over the body when he saw the lieutenant general of Xinlan City who was covered in blood and had an arm blown off.

Yi Lam brought only a few hundred people, and easily captured Xinlan City.Facing this unknown and terrifying weapon, no one in Xinlan City dared to resist.They were originally the people of Xifan, oppressed and enslaved by the northern barbarians, and now they just changed their rulers.Lin Yi didn't take his soldiers to burn, kill and loot. He took care of all the northern barbarians. The people in the original Xifan in Xinlan city went back to their homes and were not allowed to go out. Xinlan city imposed a curfew.

Emperor Yong'an was still in a happy mood for the smooth surrender of Nanyue, when he received Lin Yi's rush, the kite team cooperated with the firearms battalion and easily won Xinlan City.Emperor Yong'an immediately ordered the Ministry of Officials to send people to take over Xinlan City.The next day, Emperor Yong'an formally decreed that the first batch of long-distance fleets would sail from Dengzhou Port to Peiban [-] days later.Before that, Cang Zhusheng, who was still in southern Guangdong, got a secret decree from King Wu Shao, ordering him to send Cang Qingnan to Huadong, and to accompany the fleet sailing from Dengzhou Port to Peiban.

Cang Qingnan immediately packed his bags and rushed to Huadong.Cang Zhusheng knew very well that this was His Majesty's punishment for his death which almost caused a catastrophe.No matter how reluctant Mrs. Cang and Mrs. Cang Shao are, Cang Qingnan has to take the blame for his father.Lin Yi captured Xinlan City, and sent two northern barbarian captives back to tell Yelu Longshu directly that this was His Majesty's punishment for the northern barbarian royal family insulting His Majesty's favor.Knowing the cause and effect, Yelu Longshu almost fainted, and he immediately sent Yelu Washeng to the Mata country again to seek peace.

On the eighth day of August, Evergreen Festival.Emperor Yong'an held a grand celebration in the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.At the palace banquet, Emperor Yong'an once again brought his servant Zhuo Ji and Huang Guixie together.Nanrong Shizhu and Nanrong Shili presented the queen mother with a special birthday gift - a bucket of sweet potatoes.I hope the sweet potato harvest of the farm is bumper. The three-acre experimental field has an average harvest of 28 shi per mu, which is higher than the harvest of potatoes!

This night's palace banquet, everyone's table temporarily added a food - roasted sweet potatoes.The queen mother ate happily, her eyes moistened.During the palace banquet that night, Emperor Yong'an got drunk.

In just three years, the Talkin Ministry was included in the Mata State, and the Southern Guangdong was included in the Mata State. It was only a matter of time before the Northern Man and Nanzhao.Mata country will rule this continent, and after that, Mata country's territory will cross the river, cross the ocean, and set foot on new continents!
