Liu Xiu'er stood up and moved the plate of potato chips to Liu Renli.

"Brother, this is potato chips, but I didn't see the corn."

Boss Xue swallowed the meat in his mouth, then wiped his lips and said, "The corn is steamed in a pot, and the thing is steamed, roasted, and rinsed. It tastes delicious no matter how you eat it. Wait, I'll go and see if it's cooked?"

As he said that, Boss Xue got up, threw the potato slices and tofu into the pot before leaving, and then ran away.

Liu Renli stared at the rolling potato slices in the pot. The golden large slices continued to float and rise as the bubbles in the soup pot.

Boss Xue, who went out there, has returned, holding a tray in his hand, with several corn cobs on it.

When he was delivered to him, Boss Xue quickly pushed the skin apart, broke off the tail, and inserted it underneath with a chopstick, then handed it to Liu Renli and Zhang Huaiyuan.

Then he looked around for a week, "Who are you still eating?"

Xiu'er and the others shook their heads, seeing that they were trying to wait for other food, Liu Renli looked up and down and sniffed hard.

Not to mention the taste is a bit sweet, it smells good.

He opened his mouth and bitten it down, and Liu Renli stopped in an instant. This action made Zhang Huaiyuan not know if it was time to vent his mouth.

Liu Renli then chewed quickly, keeping widening his eyes and nodding his head.

“This tastes really good, delicious.”

Seeing that Liu Renli was still trying to chew on the core, Boss Xue quickly pointed out to him where he could eat and where he could not eat.

Zhou Heng said: "There are many ways to eat this corn. In addition to what Brother Xue said just now, you can also break off the corn grains, then grind them into powder with stone mills, eat them mixed with white flour, or make steamed buns alone. Although the taste is not as good as white flour, it is okay to resist hunger and you can also cook porridge. Anyway, it depends on everyone to study how to eat it."

While speaking, Liu Renli had already nibbled a corn, put down the core in the middle, wiped his hands, and seemed to feel the fullness in his abdomen.

"Don't say, this thing is quite hungry. I ate one and felt a little full."

Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli and grabbed a few potato chips for him.

"If stored properly, corn can be stored for three or four years without rotting or spoiling, and can continue to be planted, so it is easier to store than wheat. Another excellent feature is that corn is not afraid of severe cold and dryness, and can be planted for a season even in the bitter and cold places in northern Liaoning."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Renli was stunned.

"If this matter is feasible, you will be a great achievement. You should know that the grain and grass distributed in the Liaobei region every year are the most troublesome things for the imperial court. One-fifth of the grain harvest in our Daliang Kingdom will be used in Liaobei and disaster relief matters."

Zhou Heng raised his hand to stop Liu Renli's words, and he didn't need to calculate these things, Zhou Heng felt like a mirror in his heart.

But it makes no sense to say this now. After all, I haven’t really collected a season, and no one knows the heaviest amount.

"Brother, don't worry. Actually, I hope you have this consideration when planting. As a test field, I can conduct breeding and preliminary planting experiments to get first-hand data.

There is also a basis for you to plant on the field. Then let Laifu lead someone to help you monitor the data at any time. I want the harvest to be inevitable. As for whether to report it and how to report it, I hope the elder brother will do this."

Liu Renli stopped, Zhou Heng was simply giving himself political achievements.

Even if you manage a state with excellent political achievements, it will take several years to work hard. However, if you really donate such grain, wouldn’t it be a model for Tongzhou?

Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli's face full of smiles. He could sense from Liu Renli's expression that he had figured it out.

This matter cannot be reported by him or the prince. After all, it is too ostentatious, but if Liu Renli proposed it, it would be different.

Liu Renli looked at Zhang Huaiyuan and saw that he nodded hard to him, obviously hoping that he would agree to this matter. Liu Renli thought for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, after dinner, we won't keep much. The matter of the water diversion channel in Chunlao is imminent. If you want to choose the land you want to plant, you have to measure and choose as soon as possible, which will take time."

Zhou Heng nodded, "Brother, we should help us to manage Tongzhou. As I said, I hope my brother can go faster and farther, so that more people can benefit."

Liu Renli grabbed Zhou Heng's sleeve and was so excited that he quickly picked up the wine cup.

"At the beginning of the new year, we must do our best to not only benefit one person, but also to make every effort to make the people eat and wear warmth."

Zhou Heng held up the wine cup. What Liu Renli said was not a bold statement, but even such a simple problem was extremely difficult to achieve. After all, most of the land was controlled by the landlords and gentry, which could prevent the people from starving. What they could do in front of them was to increase production.

Several girls looked at the two of them. Xiu'er could understand Liu Renli's thoughts, and Qingyun was even more moved. She was a real person who had been hungry and cold. Knowing the hardships of life, both of them picked up cups. Although it was fruit wine, they could feel their excitement.

"It is not easy for the people, and Qing Yun admires the words and deeds of Lord Liu and Doctor Zhou."

"Big brother and second brother must have a wish come true!"

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and quickly picked up the cup.

"If this matter is really feasible, don't forget Datong. Many of the officers and soldiers there are not enough food and are weak in their bodies. They really don't have the advantage in fighting against the Tatars in this way."

Zhou Heng looked around and laughed.

"For the New Year, don't say it so heavily. Come and drink it, this will be done!"

Liu Renli left that night, and when Zhou Heng returned to the mansion, it was already dark.

Qu Ziping quickly followed in. Seeing his expression of wanting to speak but stopping, Zhou Heng stepped back and then looked at Qu Ziping.

"Tell me, what happened today?"

Qu Ziping quickly gave a gift, "Today, the boss just left, and a man who called himself Wei Siwen came. He said he was the chief minister of the Xianwang's mansion and sent some gifts for the Xianwang. He put them down and left. I couldn't stop him, because I was afraid of causing trouble for the boss, so I was always worried."

Zhou Heng was stunned, "King of Wise? What did you send?"

Seeing that Zhou Heng was not angry, Qu Ziping quickly got up and hugged the two boxes, put them down side by side, and opened them.

"I looked at it and found that a box was not a precious thing, it was all kinds of gadgets, things that children played with. The other one was full of medicinal materials, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials were included. The cinnabar alone had a very large piece of it, and you could tell it was very expensive."

Zhou Heng stood up and walked to the box. Sure enough, the box was filled with toys, wood-carved swords, as well as some puppets and diabolos. Although it was not expensive, the workmanship was extremely high.

There are only two children in this mansion, Dong'er and Sheng'er. Zhou Heng has always regarded them as eyes and can deliver such things to his preferences. This wise king has a deep intention.

Zhou Heng also became afraid. The wise king looked at him and smiled, and was very protective of himself and Zhu Yunmo. He had never come to this mansion, but he could figure it out clearly. This meticulous thought was too terrible.

As for the other box, Zhou Heng picked up the first box directly, which contained the made gold foil. Each piece was separated by oil paper, and the size was exactly the same. This thing was expensive in craftsmanship. Such fine-crafted gold foil was several times more expensive than ordinary gold.

Open another box, and there are large wild ginseng trees. Although they are not as careful as the palace dress, each root is wrapped in a fixed package, but you can tell at a glance that this size is even larger than what you get back in the palace.

Then he opened a box and it turned out to be Dendrobium officinale. Zhou Heng was stunned. This medicine is hard to come by. After all, it was not something that could be cultivated manually in later generations. It was so small that it was prepared. It was priceless.

Seeing Zhou Heng's expression like this, Qu Ziping was so nervous that his face was so nervous that Zhou Heng did not stop and fastened the box and continued to open the last two velvet boxes below.

One box was full of dried seahorses, and the other box was a yellow blocky thing. Zhou Heng held it up and sent it to his nose and sniffed it.

"What's this guy?"
