After so many years of development in the Xi Kingdom, there have been many talented people in the country and they have become mature.
Whether it is opening up new territories, expeditions to the Hundred Miles of Wilderness in the southern barbarian land, Niu Dali, or guarding the Cangman territory of the Xi Kingdom, Qingzhu has done a very impressive job and is unique in his role.
In the country of Xi, Sun Muyue, the second elder Wu Tong, Yanzhe Aqi and other civil servants also kept the various parts of the country in good order. They encouraged farmers to focus on production and encouraged commerce and trade to develop the economy. The entire Xi country was prosperous.
, national strength is increasing day by day.
Thanks to this, Yao Yun was finally able to free up his hands to practice well. In the past six months, he has been practicing with great concentration and achieved remarkable results. Of course, Yao Yun has never completely let go of his control over Xi Guo.
Although he did not manage Xiguo in every detail, the development of Xiguo was all within Yao Yun's expectation and control.
Among them, planting sweet potatoes is the one that Yao Yun focuses on the most!
Ministers such as Sun Muyue, Jiang He, and Jiang Miao were also the most concerned about this matter.
One thousand acres of sweet potatoes were planted on trial in the outskirts of Xiguo in the first year.
For this reason, Xiguo spent a very high price to promote the growth of sweet potatoes using secret methods, and then selected the best sweet potato seedlings to breed. This is how the thousand-acre sweet potato experimental field was established.
The growth period of spring sweet potatoes is relatively long, taking five or six months. As soon as spring begins in Xiguo, seedlings are raised, soil is dug, and cuttings are started...The first batch of 1,000 acres of trial planting fields soon appeared on the outskirts of Xiguo, attracting
attracted the attention of the vast number of people in the Xi Kingdom.
In the beginning, in the eyes of the people of Xidu, sweet potatoes were a new vegetable, and the canes and leaves were eaten stir-fried.
Especially for sweet potato vines, remove the old vines and old leaves, leave the vine stems, peel them, break them into small sections, and then stir-fry them. The resulting sweet potato vine stems are refreshing and delicious, and you will never tire of eating them.
Once several big restaurants in Xidu introduced this new dish of stir-fried sweet potato vines, people thought that Xidu had another fresh vegetable.
In recent years, new vegetables, fruits, and various crops have appeared in Xi Kingdom. Many people have unique vision and have spotted the prospects of new fruits and vegetables. They have been the first to plant them, and each of them has made a fortune.
Because of this, many people began to inquire where to buy sweet potato seeds and thought about trying to grow sweet potatoes.
Of course, this trend did not take off.
Firstly, sweet potatoes have not really come out, and their advantages have not yet been revealed. Just a vegetable is not enough to form a strong attraction. Secondly, sweet potatoes are still being planted on trial basis. The first batch of sweet potatoes are not yet mature and cannot be promoted on a large scale.
.
Yao Yun didn't let people deliberately promote or build public opinion. He just let it develop. When sweet potatoes came on the market, he would build momentum and vigorously promote the advantages of sweet potatoes.
Now, after half a year, the first batch of sweet potatoes has begun to mature.
Brothers Jiang He and Jiang Miao would dig up a few sweet potatoes every few days to observe, study, and compare. They already had enough understanding of the habits of sweet potatoes.
Yao Yun naturally believed in the words of the two brothers Jiang He and Jiang Miao. As soon as he heard the report from the Ministry of Agriculture, Yao Yun broke out and put aside his cultivation for the time being.
Sun Muyue, Second Elder Wu Tong, Bald Long, Jiang He, Jiang Miao and other ministers have long been looking forward to witnessing the grand scene of sweet potato harvest.
The efficacy of sweet potato vine stems and sweet potato leaves has been proven before. As Yao Yun said, sweet potato vine leaves can be used for cooking and feeding pigs. It can be said that they are full of treasures.
The most eye-catching thing right now is the potato root, which can satisfy hunger and can be used as a staple food. Everyone wants to see if sweet potatoes can really produce dozens of shi, or even nearly 100 shi per mu, as Yao Yun said!
When the bald dragon heard the news, he rushed out of the barrier in a hurry, approached Yao Yun, and said carelessly:
"Your Majesty, let's go, let's go dig the sweet potatoes. Without you, the people below won't dare to take action first. All the flowers I've been waiting for have withered!"
"What Uncle Long said is, Your Majesty, I was waiting for the sweet potatoes to mature half a month ago."
The second elder Wu Tong is also looking forward to it. In recent years, Xiguo's national power has been increasing day by day, and he, the second elder of the witch temple, has fewer and fewer things to worry about. He doesn't have much to do except practice every day. Now he heard that the sweet potatoes are ripe.
The old man was also very caring, and the second elder, who was always cheerful, also seemed quite eager.
Yao Yun attaches great importance to sweet potatoes. He has long ordered that he should personally observe the sweet potatoes before harvesting them. Therefore, no one dares to dig sweet potatoes in front of him. Even the two brothers Jiang He and Jiang Miao, who are ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture, only
Dig a portion every day to study the properties of sweet potatoes.
Yao Yun smiled, shook his head and said:
"I can't wait to see how much sweet potatoes are produced, but the empress has told me to inform her as soon as possible. She also wants to witness the emergence of sweet potatoes in Zhuxia Dynasty."
"Empress~Which empress? Oh, the empress of the female emperor!" The irritable bald dragon changed his face, became calm and calm, and said calmly: "Then it's okay!"
"Hahaha~"
There was joking laughter all around.
There are very few people in the world who dare to offend the Drought Demon Queen, and the Bald Dragon is obviously not one of them.
The bald dragon didn't dare, and naturally the others didn't dare to say anything.
The second elder Wu Tong only felt a little regretful, and then asked: "My Majesty went out to search for excellent seeds to benefit all people, and went deep into the wilderness. I don't know when I will come back. Your Majesty, can you contact the Imperial Majesty?"
"This is natural!" Yao Yun nodded slightly: "Previously, the empress left me a sound transmission stone that can communicate with me."
Come on, Yao Yun did not avoid everyone, and directly took out the Wanli Sound Transmission Stone from the Qiankun Bag to contact the Empress.
The second elder Wu Tong, Bald Long and others were secretly amazed when they saw this scene.
Soon, Yao Yun contacted the female emperor.
At this moment, Empress Hanba was searching in the Eastern Wilderness, thousands of miles away. When she heard that the sweet potatoes were ripe in Xiguo, she immediately dropped the clues at hand and rushed over impatiently.
On the sandy field on the outskirts of Xidu, military flags were fluttering, and the soldiers took off their armor and returned to the fields, ready to go and dig the soil for sweet potatoes.
Yao Yun, the second elder Wu Tong, Sun Muyue and others stood aside. The sandy field under their feet was lush and full of vitality.
In the evening of the same day, Empress Hanba, who used all her power to use her magical power to escape, rushed back from thousands of miles away. Along with her were ten Empresses of Nuwa's Intestine.
In the past two years, the ten empresses of Nuwa's intestines settled in Chishui Plain because of the delicious food of Xi State. They lived there for a long time. However, the ten empresses did not live here permanently. Instead, they used Chishui Plain of Xi State as their palace.
Come back from time to time to taste the delicious food of Xiguo.
This time, the "foodie" ladies Nuwa Zhichang heard about the sweet and delicious sweet potatoes from Nuba Empress, so they followed suit.
Suddenly, eleven empresses came hand in hand, and the rays of light were bright.
"Yao Yun, where are the sweet potatoes?"
"Yao Yun, where are the sweet potatoes?"
...
Hanbao Empress announced her defeat, and the ten Nuwa Empresses also shouted in unison. For a moment, the echoes of the empresses filled the world.
