800 catties of sweet potatoes was definitely not enough for disaster relief.
However, it was more than enough to grow seeds.
Xuan put aside other matters and immediately called Cao Zhengchun over. He had the people from the East Hall bring the sweet potatoes from the imperial kitchen to conduct the experiment.
Logically speaking, agriculture should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue included Zhu Bujue and other people from other forces. Xuan didn't want others to know what he was doing.
In the entire Da Qian, only the Eastern and Western Plants and the Embroidered Uniform Guards were loyal to him.
Of course, because of his previous actions, the loyalty of some of the officials in the Bureau of Military Personnel had risen to more than 90, but this was still not dead loyalty.
In the imperial garden, Xuan got people to remove the precious flowers and grass, and also got people to dig up the ground.
Cao Zhengchun, Hai Dafu, and the others felt their hearts ache when they saw this. These flowers and plants were worth a lot of money. His Majesty actually plucked all of them to grow food!!
Just the thought of planting crops in the royal garden made him feel that this piece of land was not worth it.
Xuan didn't know how to grow sweet potatoes. He had to guess and analyze based on his memories.
The first batch of experimental sweet potatoes was planted in the imperial garden.
Cao Zhengchun asked Xuan with a face full of dust.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?”
His Majesty had said that saving the world's refugees depended on this thing.
Cao Zhengchun was a little excited when he thought about how he could save the world one day.
Xuan crossed his arms at the side and replied coldly.
"Wait."
As an emperor, it was impossible for him to work. It was impossible for him to work in this lifetime.
He could only wait at the side.
Cao Zhengchun was stunned.
Wait?
Wait for what? Had this thing just been planted? Did His Majesty think that it would not germinate if it could be planted?
Why didn't he spread his fat?
Cao Zhengchun could not help but smile bitterly when he thought about how he had personally planted the seeds.
In his heart, he had already treated today's matter as His Majesty's joke.
"Sigh, His Majesty is still young and likes to play. In the past, he only played with the little eunuchs in the palace, but now he actually called all the people from the East Chamber to play with them.”
He no longer had any hope for Potato. He thought that the little Emperor was just joking.
But at this moment, he glanced at the ground, and his eyes almost popped out!
"This is... It sprouted just like that?"
Cao Zhengchun looked at the newly planted sweet potatoes in shock.
The sweet potatoes that had just been planted had already grown white and tender seedlings in such a short period of time!!
Was this dragon fat?
Cao Zhengchun knew very well that nothing had been added to these freshly planted sweet potatoes!!
But this thing was growing too damn fast, right?？
Rooting on the ground? Sprouting in the mud?
Cao Zhengchun immediately went to dig out the sweet potatoes that he had planted.
Without exception, they all sprouted!
"Divine item! This is a divine item!"
"With this divine item, the famine can be resolved, and Great Qin will prosper!!”
"Your Majesty! God bless Great Qin! Hahaha!"
Cao Zhengchun excitedly laughed and danced in the ground. The people from the East Hall also knelt down and shouted,'Your Majesty, the Sage, God bless Great Qin!'。
Xuan's expression didn't change at all. It was so calm that there wasn't even a ripple.
"Don't trample on the sweet potatoes you planted. Otherwise, I will kill you and use your flesh and blood to relieve the disaster.”
Cao Zhengchun and the people from the East Chamber quickly stepped out of the ground and carefully turned the ground back to its original state, afraid that the sprouting sweet potatoes would be damaged.
"Let's go back to the palace."
Xuan turned and left.
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly chased after him.
"Your Majesty, aren't you waiting for the divine sweet potato to ripen? This divine item germinates as soon as it's planted in the soil. It should mature very soon. At that time, we'll sow it again. "If we do this repeatedly, Great Qin will have an endless supply of food.”
Xuan glanced at him and chuckled.
Wait for the sweet potatoes to ripen?
Even with the tenfold bonus, the sweet potatoes would still take half a month to mature. He did not have the time to wait here.
"Since you want to see the sweet potatoes mature, wait here. Don't let others know about Potato's existence.”
Cao Zhengchun immediately patted his chest and promised.
"Your Majesty, this old servant will never let anyone get close to the divine item.”
He really didn't want to leave.
Cao Zhengchun was just a servant serving the Emperor, but he was regarded as a wicked person by the world.
Once this item appeared, everyone would look up to him.
If he used this item to save all the refugees in the world, wouldn't his reputation be comparable to that of Guan Yin Bodhisattva?
Although the item was found by His Majesty, the actual operation was carried out by him and the East Chamber. No matter what, he would get a share of the glory.
