Before this, Yao Yun had talked about the great strategic significance of high-yield sweet potatoes more than once. At first, no one doubted the meaning behind it. The only doubt was whether the sweet potatoes could be as high-yielding as Yao Yun said.
But now the ironclad fact is before everyone - sweet potato is really not an ordinary high-yield, the yield is much higher than ordinary rice, beans, wheat millet and other crops, it can be called the most productive crop in all summer dynasties!
"I'm not mistaken, am I right? The yield per mu is forty dan. This yield is too scary. Even in a disaster year, the people can survive on this. With this thing, it will be difficult for people to starve to death in the future!"
The second elder, Wu Tong, murmured to himself.
His old man's words were quickly recognized by everyone around him.
After years of development in the Xi Kingdom, the people in the country have generally got rid of hunger, have enough to eat, and have warm clothes. The only thing they worry about is encountering disaster years. As farmers who have just escaped from extreme poverty, their ability to withstand risks is very low. Once food is available,
No harvest or reduced harvest is undoubtedly a fatal blow to them.
From ancient times to the present, disasters have occurred more or less every year. People have lived in dire straits, and countless people have died of hunger every year.
But once there are sweet potatoes that are resistant to barrenness, coldness, and high yields, the situation will be completely different. People can eat sweet potatoes to get through the disaster years, which undoubtedly provides an extra life guarantee for the people all over the world.
As long as sweet potatoes are promoted, the chances of people starving to death will be greatly reduced!
As the Prime Minister of the country, Sun Muyue had a far-reaching vision, saw quite thoroughly, and felt the same way, so she sighed:
"It is foreseeable that when a disaster occurs in the near future, sweet potatoes will play an unprecedented role in saving the hungry people in the world from fire and water. The empress and the king have found sweet potatoes, which is really a great merit!"
After hearing this, Empress Hanba became inexplicably excited.
Save the common people, the merits are immeasurable!
At first, the Hanbao Empress searched for grains for the world just to harvest more sentient beings to help her wash away the evil karma of killing and break the shackles of heaven and earth. She was extremely utilitarian.
But later, as she brought plastered rice to the people of China, allowing countless people to have a good harvest and get rid of hunger and poverty, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Today, the original intention of Empress Hanbao is no longer for the telepathy of living beings, for heaven to send merits, nor for herself to break the shackles of heaven and earth...but for the vast suffering of the common people.
At this moment, the female demon empress had a clear idea, she put aside all selfish thoughts, and her state of mind could not help but be sublimated.
Yao Yun, Nuwa Zhichang Empress, Second Elder Wu Tong, Bald Long and others all discovered the changes that had taken place in Nuwa Empress, and everyone smiled knowingly.
The second elder, Wu Tong, and the bald dragon even opened their mouths with smiles. Empress Hanba has returned to her peak. Apart from the empress herself, the happiest person is their Xiguo.
Xiguo "provided help in times of need" to the Hanbao Empress, not to mention being "as heavy as a mountain", but at least they established a close relationship. With the current relationship between Xiguo and the Nvba Empress, once the Nvba Empress takes off in the future, Xiguo will definitely not be forgotten.
, then Xiguo will have a thigh to hug and a real backer.
Even if the emperor, Emperor Mu, wants to suppress Xiguo, he still has to think carefully.
Previously, the second elder, Wu Tong, had complained about his king's friendship with Hanbao Empress, believing that this might bring unpredictable dangers to the Xi Kingdom.
However, the facts were beyond everyone's expectations. The high risk brought excessive returns. After making friends with the female emperor, Yao Yun and Xi Guo not only had an unshakable backer in the human world, but even if they flew to heaven in the future, Yao Yun and Xi Guo
The gods of the country will also benefit from this!
After a long time, beside the sweet potato field, Hanbao Empress slowly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes were as bright as stars. The hot aura around her body inadvertently dissipated a lot, and a gentle and watery aura came out. She was completely different from the image of the bald goddess in the past.
Two people.
Yao Yun can clearly feel that the shackles of heaven and earth on Empress Hanba have been greatly reduced!
"Congratulations, empress~"
Yao Yun was the first to congratulate him, and everyone on the side also agreed with him. The scene was extremely lively.
The female emperor opened her eyes, looked around, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, her expression couldn't help but relax, her whole person was gentle and kind, especially when the empress' eyes fell on Yao Yun, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised due to her indifference and world-weariness.
He raised his head in a graceful arc, his eyes full of kindness.
"Yun'er, thank you very much!"
"Your Majesty is serious. I should thank you on behalf of all the people in the world for your welfare!"
"Father and empress, you are all good people, very good people. Let's go back and bake sweet potatoes first!"
"Heng'er is right, hahahaha~"
.......
That night, a sweet sweet potato fragrance filled the palace of Xidu, and a unique sweet potato show was performed in the palace, which won unanimous praise from everyone.
On the second day, a sweet and appetizing fragrance began to float from all the major teahouses, restaurants, and streets in Xidu, attracting the attention of the people of Xidu.
The number of sweet potatoes is scarce at this time, and the price is a bit more expensive than other foods. However, fortunately, in recent years, the lives of the people in Xidu have improved day by day, and they have become richer. Their pockets are obviously bulging, and they are willing to spend money on food.
Listening to the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, many people in Xidu became greedy and dug into their pockets to buy sweet potatoes to try.
You don’t know if you don’t taste it, but the people of Xidu were quickly conquered by the sweet and delicious sweet potatoes!
Because the price of sweet potatoes is now high and ordinary people cannot afford it, many wealthy Xidu people who are obsessed with sweet potatoes are out of vanity. In order to show their wealth and superiority, they continue to preach that sweet potatoes are delicious. Many people will be rich if they eat sweet potatoes.
Human meaning!
Unknowingly, in just a few days, eating sweet potatoes has been linked to status and wealth. Eating sweet potatoes is equivalent to the old bells and whistles of the food family, and it has a brand name!
Even many people who have never eaten sweet potatoes brag about how delicious sweet potatoes are in order to show that they have good taste and are well off.
Sweet potatoes are inherently delicious, and with so many people bragging about them, sweet potatoes suddenly became the best delicacy on Xidu Street and won acclaim.
For a time, the inability to afford sweet potatoes became a hot topic in the streets of Xidu. Sweet potatoes became more and more popular among the people in Xidu, and their prices also skyrocketed.
If all the sweet potatoes on one thousand acres of sandy land are sold, the profit will be extremely huge and the profit will be huge.
The sweet potato vine leaves can be used for cooking and feeding livestock, and the sweet potato roots can satisfy hunger. This kind of valuable crop undoubtedly has a huge future.
Because of this, the shrewd people of Xidu were ready to take action and began to inquire about sweet potato seeds and sweet potato planting news. A "sweet potato craze" set off throughout Xidu and surrounding towns!
Hanbao Empress has been staying in Xidu these days, silently observing the changes in Xidu. She originally thought that Yao Yun would force the people to cultivate sweet potatoes, but she never expected that Yao Yun not only did not give the order, but instead used sweet potatoes to make a lot of money.
At the same time, sweet potatoes were greatly promoted.
"Yun'er, if the people rush to plant sweet potatoes and the price drops, won't the people suffer losses?" After Empress Hanba's enlightenment, she became less utilitarian and more sincere about saving the people.
Think about the people of Xidu.
Yao Yun smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. Sweet potatoes can be cultivated in sand fields. It will not affect the livelihood of the people. Even if the sweet potatoes cannot be sold at a high price, they will not suffer much loss. They can only make a little profit. Guhui Mingliangzhuang and farmers
Sign the contract, and when the sweet potatoes are produced in large quantities, Xi Guo will take care of everything and take all the orders!"
The female emperor nodded slightly and said with a relaxed expression: "Well, I can rest assured that Yun'er will do the work. I'll leave the sweet potatoes to you. I'd better look for other crops."
"Well, other crop ladies don't have to rush, just let everything happen!" After speaking slowly, Yao Yun showed a look of hesitation on his face.
"Hmm? Yun'er, are you okay?" Empress Hanbao looked at Yao Yun in surprise. It was the first time she saw Yao Yun showing such a troubled expression. She couldn't help but look stern and said, "If you have anything, you can tell me. I'm sorry.
You make the decision, but that guy Ji Mu deliberately suppresses your Xiguo, so I will go to the imperial capital right now!"
"No, no, no, the empress has misunderstood!" Yao Yun couldn't laugh or cry. He was afraid that the empress would invade the imperial capital alone and turn the Xia Dynasty upside down, so he no longer hesitated and said:
"I have a question about my practice and I want to ask your Majesty for advice..."
