After listening to this, Li Yuquan's eyes suddenly lit up:
"The output from one acre of land can feed a family of three for a year and a half?!"
After hearing this, Wang Tuo's face flashed with excitement:
"In one and a half years, wouldn't the yield per mu be more than a thousand catties?"
"Exactly!"
Lin Xiao smiled.
"Where can I find this kind of heaven-given fairy food?"
Li Yuquan couldn't wait to try it, and he rubbed his palms together excitedly.
Lin Xiao thought for a while and said:
"It's a pity that we don't have sweet potatoes in our Daxia Dynasty."
She paused and then said:
"But the common people know where to find it."
"Speak quickly!"
“You need to cross the ocean to go to Southeast Asia, where there are sweet potatoes!”
Li Yuquan and Wang Tuo looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"Then you go to Southeast Asia."
"Yes, the common people obey the order."
Lin Xiao bowed respectfully and answered.
"Um."
Li Yuquan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and his eyes suddenly dimmed:
"A sailing ship needs to be rebuilt, and it will take a year and a half anyway. Alas."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, ordinary people have solutions."
"Um?"
Li Yuquan and Wang Tuo both turned to Lin Xiao and asked in confusion:
"What can you do?"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember Esther?"
"Ingle's envoy?"
"Yes, their sailing ship ran aground on the east coast. As long as the ship they left behind is repaired, they can go to Southeast Asia to find sweet potatoes."
Lin Xiao replied with a smile.
"Hahaha...that's a good idea!"
When Li Yuquan heard this, he immediately smiled and immediately ordered that after the wedding of Bai Zhancheng and the prime minister's daughter, Lin Xiao and Zhao Qian would take a pair of ship repair craftsmen to the east coast to repair the ships!
Looking at the entire palace, it was not just Li Yuquan and others who had no rest, Li Xianxian and the imperial concubine also had no rest.
Inside Fengzao Palace.
The two women were sitting around the table, each holding a tea cup, lowering their heads and sipping tea.
"At tonight's auction, your Chen family stole the show!"
Although there was no praise or blame in Li Xianxian's words, there was a hint of sarcasm in them.
The imperial concubine snorted coldly, not hiding her disgust:
"It's not that untouchable named Lin Xiao who is causing trouble! If it weren't for him, our Chen family would have slapped a pile of garbage back?"
Li Xianxian chuckled lightly and said in a joking tone:
"Your Majesty, be careful! Although those are not rare treasures, they are still offerings from other countries. How can they be garbage?"
When the imperial concubine heard this, her chest heaved violently with anger. She gritted her teeth and glared at Li Xianxian, wishing to go up and tear this peerless and alluring face apart!
When Li Xianxian saw this, his smile became even brighter.
She knew that all this was within her expectations.
Li Xianxian took a sip of fragrant tea in a leisurely manner and said leisurely:
"Imperial Concubine, it is true that you are the eldest daughter of the Chen family, but your husband's family is the emperor, the father of this palace! It has been so many years, why is your heart always towards your mother's family?"
Li Xianxian's tone was full of regret when he spoke, as if he was feeling heartbroken for the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine was so angry that she was trembling all over. She pointed at Li Xianxian with trembling fingertips, but she didn't say a complete sentence for a long time!
"You are talking nonsense! I have never been towards my mother's family! Don't talk nonsense!"
"If you didn't tell your mother's family, why did you send someone to inform the Chen family in the middle of the night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xianxian winked at the maid serving beside him.
The palace maid nodded, turned and left Fengzao Palace.
After a while, the palace maid walked over, followed by a guard and a trembling little palace maid.
The little palace maid is about fifteen or sixteen years old. The Chen family just asked someone to be put into the palace to replace Chuntao. Her name is Jasmine.
Jasmine knelt on the ground and said tremblingly:
"My slave, please give your regards to the princess and the imperial concubine. May the princess and the imperial concubine be safe and happy!"
Li Xianxian glanced at Jasmine who was kneeling on the ground shivering, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly:
"Get up, I want to ask you, what did you do just now?"
Jasmine was startled when she heard this. She subconsciously raised her head to look at the imperial concubine, and then quickly lowered her head.
"Slave."
Jasmine hesitated and couldn't speak clearly, with a panicked look on her face.
"What? You dare not say it?"
"No, no, slave"
There were dense beads of sweat on Jasmine's forehead, and her lips were trembling, but she still did not say the complete words.
Seeing this scene, the imperial concubine felt a burst of contempt in her heart, thinking, you dead girl, you are such a waste!
"Princess, don't bully me too much. She has just entered the palace and she doesn't understand many rules!"
"Oh?" Li Xianxian pretended to be surprised, "So, I misunderstood her?"
"this"
The imperial concubine hesitated and didn't know how to argue.
Jasmine quickly kowtowed and explained hurriedly:
"I know my mistake! I am willing to be punished!"
"be punished?"
Li Xianxian said coldly:
"Then tell me, why are you punished?"
"You deserve to die! You shouldn't go out during the palace confinement period. Please punish me, princess!"
Jasmine kowtowed in fear and confessed her crime. When her forehead touched the cold tiles, she felt a heartbreaking pain.
Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, but she didn't dare to stop and could only continue to kowtow.
"Look, doesn't he know the rules? He also knows that he can't go out during the palace confinement period. Imperial Concubine, what do you think?"
Li Xianxian glanced sideways at the imperial concubine and said with a half-smile.
The imperial concubine's face turned green and red.
She felt extremely frustrated.
But Li Xianxian is the legitimate princess, and even though the Chen family is rich and powerful, we can't argue with her, otherwise it would be disrespectful!
"That's all, let's get this matter over with!"
The imperial concubine suppressed the anger in her heart, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly.
"Really? But I don't think it's appropriate to rush into the matter."
Li Xianxian shook his head and looked at the imperial concubine with burning eyes.
The imperial concubine's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm:
"What do you want, princess?"
"Royal things are of great significance. I hope the imperial concubine can send a message to her parents' family and ask them to keep them well and not to leak them out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Li Xianxian said with a smile.
The imperial concubine sneered in her heart.
She had already guessed that Li Xianxian would put forward unreasonable conditions, but she never expected that the legitimate princess would be so shameless!
To actually let the Chen family hide those scraps of metal as if they were treasures is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
However, due to Li Xianxian's status, it was not convenient for her to get angry.
The imperial concubine took a deep breath to calm down her mind, smiled gently and sweetly, and said in a friendly tone:
"Princess, please rest assured. I will tell them immediately and ask them to keep the things properly."
"Then I'll trouble the imperial concubine."
Li Xianxian smiled faintly and watched the imperial concubine leave.
A hint of sinisterness flashed across her face.
After the ruthlessness, there is ruthlessness!
Chen family, I want to see how arrogant you can be!
