When Zheng Baorong hurriedly arrived at the East Palace, it was already a quarter of an hour later.
Seeing the fat man's head full of sweat and panting, Li Chen said calmly: "With your physique, you should lose weight, otherwise you will die suddenly in the Yamen one day, and everything will be lost."
Zheng Baorong finished his salute respectfully, then raised his head, wiped his sweat, and replied honestly: "Your Highness, you don't know that Wei Chen is also suffering from something that he cannot tell. The doctor has long said that Wei Chen's health is
Being too fat is not a good thing for your health, but Weichen's physique is that he will gain weight even if he drinks water, and he doesn't eat much at every meal, but he just can't lose weight."
"What do you eat for every meal?" Li Chen asked casually.
Zheng Baorong was really unambiguous and reported seriously: "Usually there are two vegetarian dishes and four meat dishes, a soup, and three large bowls of rice. Occasionally, if I want to eat something lighter, it will be four large bowls of noodles."
Li Chen was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then laughed and scolded: "You don't have much to eat? Your ration is enough to feed an ordinary family of seven or eight people."
Zheng Baorong smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly explained: "Your Highness is aware that a small minister will never waste anything. In fact, the amount of food is only so large. If there is less, you will be hungry..."
"okay."
Li Chen interrupted Zheng Baorong and said, "You can eat as much as you want, and I won't have to worry about your dining table."
"How is the promotion of sweet potato cultivation going today?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Zheng Baorong immediately became excited and said excitedly: "Great harvest, great harvest, Your Highness!"
"Now the first season of sweet potatoes will be harvested from the fields soon. Some areas that were planted earlier can harvest now. The yield is more than we expected. Weichen took it upon himself to give some of it to the people.
And teach them how to eat it."
"Now a large number of people have tasted the benefits and are asking about the origin of sweet potatoes and how to grow them."
"Two months."
Zheng Baorong raised two fingers, thought for a moment, took one back, and said categorically with a red face: "In just one month, Wei Chen will definitely make the people in the entire Gyeonggi region scramble to plant sweet potatoes! And this thing,
We can definitely quickly occupy the grain market and relieve our Great Qin’s worry about grain shortages!”
Even though this time Li Chen was trying to test Zheng Baorong and perform a scene for him, he still cheered up after hearing the news.
"Very good. Once sweet potatoes can be promoted, I can do a lot of things."
Li Chen said approvingly to Zheng Baorong: "If this happens, you, Zheng Baocheng, will make the most of it."
Zheng Baorong grinned, but he still said politely: "Don't dare, all the credit belongs to His Highness. I just took His Highness's things to let the world know how good it is. I don't dare to praise it."
achievement."
With a chuckle, Li Chen said: "The credit should be yours and you will not be short of it."
Zheng Baorong was overjoyed when he heard this.
Why are the people down there working so hard to do things?
Nothing but profit.
It can be money or power.
In official circles, what is naturally pursued is power.
With the words of His Highness the Crown Prince, Zheng Baorong is confident that he can take another big step forward.
Sure enough, it is the wisest choice to serve His Highness seriously.
While he was feeling complacent, Zheng Baorong heard Li Chen's voice coming over again: "I called you here today. In addition to asking about the progress of the sweet potatoes, I also have a very important thing for you to do."
