Later, Liu Weichao sent the relevant information to Emperor Chongzhen.
These materials were all compiled by him with great pains, including descriptions of the entire process, principles, drawings, etc.
Of course it needs to be more detailed than what he just said.
While Emperor Chongzhen was checking these materials, Liu Weichao hurriedly went to find something to eat.
Right at the gate of the community, there is a mobile vendor selling peanuts, quail eggs, roasted sweet potatoes, etc., all hot.
Liu Weichao was worried that Emperor Chongzhen might have questions to ask, so he bought some food directly from this mobile vendor and then hurried back to his room.
Sure enough, not long after he returned to the room and was setting it out to eat, Emperor Chongzhen initiated a video communication with him.
Liu Weichao pressed the "connect" button, and then placed his mobile phone in front of him, leaning against the computer, facing him, so that he could talk via video while eating.
Liu Weichao smiled and asked, "How is it? Do you have a problem? Ask!"
When Emperor Chongzhen saw Liu Weichao in the video and saw him eating, he was a little embarrassed and said: "It's really troublesome for you. Not only has it delayed your meal, but now that you have just eaten, I have to disturb you again...
…”
When Liu Weichao heard this, he said with a smile: "It's okay, this kind of thing is very common for me. On weekdays, when I go to work or do other things, I eat and do it at the same time, so I don't delay things, can you tell me?"
After he finished speaking, the skin of the sweet potato had been peeled off a little, and he took a bite.
Not to mention, roasted sweet potatoes are very fragrant and much more delicious than boiled sweet potatoes.
Emperor Chongzhen over there heard this and was about to speak when he saw Liu Weichao taking a big bite and it was very delicious.
His attention inevitably glanced at the food in Liu Weichao's hand.
Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to remember something, and then with a slightly anxious expression, he quickly said to Liu Weichao: "Oh, you can't eat that food!"
Liu Weichao didn't expect him to say that. He looked at the sweet potato in his hand with surprise and didn't find anything dirty!
So, he asked doubtfully: "Why can't I eat it?"
"This thing of yours is poisonous!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and hurriedly said to Liu Weichao, "I remember that in the past, Xu Guangqi and Xu Qing offered this thing to me and said it was a good thing. But there are many other things.
People say you shouldn’t eat this food. If you eat it, it will cause diarrhea, nausea, and even death! You..."
When he said this, he suddenly couldn't speak any more.
Because Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought that in the past, he was often deceived by his ministers and did not distinguish between right and wrong.
In other words, in the past, what most people said was not necessarily correct.
Take the example at hand. Liu Weichao is eating this thing. It is impossible for him not to know what this thing looks like. If it is poisonous, will he eat it?
From this point of view, this thing should be edible. In this way, Xu Guangqi should have been right before!
In other words, now there is another fact that proves that he was deceived by his ministers before.
When he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly became ugly.
Liu Weichao saw him like this, looked down at the sweet potatoes in his hand, and immediately understood what was going on.
He smiled and did not make fun of Emperor Chongzhen. He just said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The one I have in my hand is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato. It was introduced to us from overseas. Counting it, it seems that it was from the Wanli period.
It was passed in. This is a treasure. In the past, when there was famine, I would rely on this thing to fill my stomach."
"Treasure?" Emperor Chongzhen was very sensitive when he heard these two words. He suddenly forgot his embarrassment and immediately asked with curiosity.
"Yes, it's a treasure." Liu Weichao nodded, and then introduced to Emperor Chongzhen, "This crop has a high yield. The most important thing is that it does not occupy farmland, even in mountains and hills, it can survive.
"
Speaking of this, he immediately remembered that there was another treasure, so he introduced it to Emperor Chongzhen: "There is also a crop called potatoes, which is a high-yielding crop in the north and can be grown in Siberia. It is Mongolia, desert
Either way to the north is fine."
When he said this, seeing Emperor Chongzhen's eyes light up, Liu Weichao smiled and said: "Yes, you must vigorously promote these two things. They are important magic weapons for you to solve the current food crisis. I will explain them later.
This relevant information is given to you, you can take a look."
"Okay, okay, I know!" Emperor Chongzhen was obviously a little excited, "I will take care of this matter right away!"
Nothing can be done without money and food, which Emperor Chongzhen happened to be in urgent need of.
Relatively speaking, food is more important than money. If there was food, there would be no famine and there would not be so many people rebelling.
And if you have money but no food, you may not be able to buy food even if you have money. Emperor Chongzhen still understood this truth.
At this time, he did not expect such an unexpected gain, and for a moment, he forgot to ask questions.
Seeing Liu Weichao eating so deliciously, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this delicious?"
"It's delicious!" Liu Weichao heard this and immediately said with a smile, "It tastes good, nutritious and healthy! And there are many ways to make it. I will send you some recipes later, about this sweet potato. By the way, there are also
The ones with potatoes are definitely a good thing, I’m sure you’ll want to eat them again.”
At this point, he remembered something, and immediately gave Emperor Chongzhen advice: "By the way, if you take the lead in eating, maybe these two high-yielding crops will become popular faster!"
"Yes, I will be the first to eat it!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and immediately nodded in agreement, "Even if it tastes bad, I will be the first to eat it. Not to mention, this one is delicious, right?"
After saying this, he and Liu Weichao both laughed in unison.
After a while, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that there was still business and began to ask Liu Weichao about the previous questions.
Liu Weichao answered questions while eating, until he finished eating.
He was probably the only one who did this. Who else would dare to be so casual in front of the emperor!
After answering the questions like this, another half of the afternoon passed, and it was not until it was almost dark that Emperor Chongzhen basically finished asking the questions.
Looking at the sky, he said to Liu Weichao a little embarrassedly: "I have really troubled you for another day!"
"It's okay!" After hearing this, Liu Weichao waved his hands and said, "I don't have to go to work anymore, I have plenty of free time!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he made up his mind even more. He must not let Liu Weichao go to work, but should help him start a business, so that Liu Weichao could have more time at his disposal.
After hanging up the communication, Emperor Chongzhen walked out of the palace gate, only to find Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, waiting at the door.
