Listening to Li Chen's introduction, Su Jinpa's eyes widened even more, and his face was full of irrepressible shock and disbelief.
From Li Chen's introduction, she could get two pieces of information.
The first one is this crop called sweet potato, which can be used as a staple food.
Another is that its yield is ten to twenty times that of ordinary cereals.
What is this concept?
If true, it can be said to have greatly alleviated the problem that has plagued China for thousands of years: food famine!
Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for the people. People will rebel if they don't have enough to eat.
If everyone had food to eat and clothing to wear, who would risk losing their head to rebel?
If anyone can solve the food problem, then he is a saint living in the world.
And if this person is the prince, with the support of the imperial power and the public opinion of the people, who in the world can oppose him? Dare to oppose him!?
In just a short moment, Su Jinpa thought of many things.
Even though she was as cold and arrogant as she was, she couldn't help but feel short of breath at this moment.
"Your Highness, are you serious?"
Seeing Su Jinpa worrying about gains and losses, Li Chen laughed and said: "I am spending so much money on this, so it is no longer a child's play."
"Whether it's true or not, the beginning of spring next year, the transition between spring and summer, will be the time when the truth comes out."
After speaking, Li Chen said to Liu Sida: "Liu Sida, I ordered you to lead the experienced farmers invited from Zhejiang and Fujian to stay here all day long. Your only task is to take good care of these seedlings and let them bloom and bear fruit."
One by one, we recorded the problems that occurred during the entire cultivation, planting, and raising process and the methods to solve them. These methods will be the basis for the imperial court to promote this crop nationwide in the future."
"On the day of harvest, I cannot treat you badly, but if something goes wrong in this process, you will die."
"The success of the career and the death of the body are all on this little seedling, can you hear me clearly?"
Hearing this, Liu Sida's head went hot, and he knelt down in front of Li Chen with a pop. The mud splashed in spots, but he didn't care, and said loudly: "Common people, I am willing to go through fire and water for His Highness!"
After saying this, Liu Sida knocked his head hard into the mud.
"Very good."
Li Chen was extremely satisfied, "Li Keshou!"
Li Keshou immediately took a step forward and said respectfully: "Wei Chen is here."
"From today on, the most important thing in the hunting ground is to cooperate with Liu Sida to plant these seedlings. Your task is to serve them well. Everything they need will be provided on time and in quantity without delay. If it is beyond your ability, you can go to
The East Palace requests my handwriting."
"In a word, after these sweet potatoes are planted, all of you here will be able to flourish. If something goes wrong, none of you will be able to escape. I have always made clear rewards and punishments. I will give you everything you want.
What you want is just a result, do you hear everything clearly?"
"I, you and the common people, obey the orders of the Crown Prince!"
Coming out of the greenhouse and looking at the busy fields in the distance, Li Chen said to Su Jinpa beside him: "If the sweet potato experimental field is successfully planted, it will take some effort to promote it in the future."
It often takes a process for people to accept new things.
In a small area, Li Chen can use his power to push forward at the fastest speed.
But if the scope is as large as the entire world, it is impossible for the people to spend a year planting a new crop without letting the people see the benefits in advance.
Li Chen knew this very well, so he was not too optimistic.
On the contrary, Su Jinpa didn't think too much. She was still immersed in the magic of sweet potatoes and said with great enthusiasm: "Your Highness, this is a great achievement."
"Achievements?"
Li Chen chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "I may have tried to figure out other things, but this is the only one without any calculation."
