Outside the palace, Fiji and Pang Yukun walked side by side.

Fiji, who was scolded, said depressedly: "Hey, your highness's temper is really elusive. Did I say something wrong just now? Since ancient times, all dynasties have been so ruthless to foreign vassal states."

"Master Fei Ge, whether it is right or wrong, but at least it is wrong here. But if you think about it carefully, what Your Highness says seems to be right. For example, if we still treat these Three Mountain Kingdoms in the past, they will definitely fall into the hands of the Japanese pirates again in a few days. Once the Japanese pirates have sufficient food and grass supply, they will inevitably invade. At that time, our kindness will be cruel to the people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. If you say this, your Highness is not wrong at all."

"It makes sense for you to say that." Fiji was a little dazed, "But the face of the Great Chongqing Kingdom?"

"Can face be eaten?" Pang Yukun said something Xiao Ming often said.

Fiji Zhang Zhang and sighed deeply, "It seems that I have to go to Bowen Academy to read the book, maybe I can understand your highness's thoughts."

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Li Kaiyuan walking towards the palace with two people carrying a basket of things.

Pang Yukun stopped him and asked, "What is this?"

"Sweet potatoes." Li Kaiyuan wiped his sweat and said, and he had just unloaded the batch of sweet potatoes from the merchant ship.

Pang Yukun's eyes suddenly opened wide, "Is this the sweet potato?"

"Yes, the Dutch merchant ship was sent to Dengzhou, so I will transport it back quickly." Li Kaiyuan said, and he was about to leave when he called.

Fiji looked at Pang Yukun, who was a little demented, and asked, "Shoufu Pang, why are you so excited?"

"Because this thing is more productive than potatoes." Pang Yukun's eyes were filled with tears. "It seems that the Great Yu Kingdom will not starve to death in the future."

"More than potatoes?" Fiji was also surprised and couldn't stop talking. He looked at the things in the box, but Lee Kaiyuan took the people away.

After entering the palace, Li Kaiyuan directly found Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness, these are sweet potatoes sent by the Dutch." Li Kaiyuan said, pointing to the sweet potatoes piled in the bamboo basket.

"The sweet potato is here." Xiao Ming was depressed, but he was in an instant when he saw the sweet potato.

"I arrived in Dengzhou three days ago, and I sent it to you here by someone to dock. Your Highness, can this thing really be thirty stones per acre?" Li Kaiyuan was still a little unbelievable.

"Of course, this is still fake. Now potatoes have proved themselves, and now I will let sweet potatoes prove themselves too." Xiao Ming said happily. In his opinion, sweet potatoes are more valuable than potatoes.

The preservation of potatoes is still a problem, but sweet potatoes can be cut into slices and dried into dried sweet potatoes. When he was young, he often ate dried sweet potatoes. At that time, the old man said that they also ate this when they were young, and even they ate steamed buns made of sweet potato leaves.

Li Kaiyuan nodded, "If so, with potatoes and sweet potatoes, the food problem of the country's fence will be solved."

"It's not that simple. It has to be discussed after it is popularized." Xiao Ming smiled. Adequate food means population growth.

In the era of the Great Navigation, it was the stage of the Western population explosion, and he could not fall behind, because in his opinion, after the civil war in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the population will inevitably decline on a large scale, and with sufficient food, he can encourage childbirth.

Looking at the sweet potatoes in the basket, Xiao Ming was happy and a little jealous. He hadn't eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time. At this moment, Ziyuan passed by outside the main hall. Xiao Ming took the opportunity to stop her and asked her to take the sweet potatoes to the kitchen to roast them.

"Your Highness, is this the sweet potato?" Aster's eyes rolled.

How could Xiao Ming not know what this girl thinks? He had told them about the deliciousness of sweet potatoes on weekdays, so he said, "There are a lot of sweet potatoes, so you can just take a few to eat them."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Aster said happily.

When Li Kaiyuan brought sweet potatoes, he had nothing to do, so he took his leave and left the palace.

At this time, Xiao Ming also returned to the bedroom with a smile on his face.

At this time, Fei Yue'er was reading a book. Seeing Xiao Ming so happy, Fei Yue'er smiled and said, "What makes Your Highness so happy."

"Li Kaiyuan sent sweet potatoes, and the Sanshan Kingdom was about to send food. Now the grain of the captive country is about to be harvested, and potatoes will be harvested in autumn. In this way, the grain of the captive country will be richer." Xiao Ming became happier the more he thought about it. Food is the most important thing for the people. With this grain, he would not have to be afraid of anything.

Fei Yue'er was also happy for Xiao Ming when she heard this. When she first came to Qingzhou, she thought she would live a hard life, but she didn't expect that Qingzhou would be more comfortable than Chang'an.

"Congratulations to Your Highness." Fei Yue'er smiled.

Xiao Ming was immediately proud when he heard this. The construction of the ban was progressing steadily, and his heart became more and more stable.

...

While the two were talking, the kitchen was already in chaos, and the aroma of the sweet potatoes being roasted attracted the green ivy and small rings.

After learning that this was the sweet potato in Xiao Ming's mouth, the two girls suddenly became greedy and rushed to grab it. Ziyuan looked helpless, but she was too lazy to care because he took a big sweet potato in advance and laughed. She took a light bite and the sweetness and fragrance spread in her mouth. The taste was much better than boiled potatoes, and at this time the green ivy and Xiaohuan also tasted sizzling.

"Your Highness is really capable. You can get all such delicious food." Ziyuan ate several bites in a row, then sighed with satisfaction.

Green Ivy ate the fastest. After eating the one in her mouth, she narrowed her eyes with pleasure. Then she looked at the sweet potato in Aster's hand and said unwillingly: "Sister Aster, can you finish eating such a big sweet potato? I'll eat it for you."

"You, you!" Ziyuan gave Luluo a white look and distributed part to her, "Your Highness is right, you are just a foodie."

The green ivy doesn’t care about it, she will be happy if she eats it.

When the sweet potatoes were roasted, they were naturally sent to Xiao Ming. When Xiao Ming saw that the sweet potatoes on the plate were not so novel, after all, he ate this thing a lot in modern times, so Fei Yue'er was different. He picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Ming snatched it with empty hands and said, "Pick it up and eat it." As he said that, he peeled off the skin of the sweet potato and gave it to Fei Yue'er.

He took it with a smile, Fei Yue'er took a bite, chewed it gently, and said, "Well, it's so delicious!"

Xiao Ming also picked up a sweet potato and ate it. Sweet potatoes are just like potatoes to solve famine. After sufficient food, they will not be regarded as staple food. Potatoes are cooking, and sweet potatoes become ingredients for snacks.
