"Hahaha, don't worry about the food problem. I've already prepared it!”
Then, Du Yuan snapped his fingers and said to the door,
"Serve the potatoes and sweet potatoes!"
Upon hearing the words " potatoes and sweet potatoes ", everyone began to be puzzled. They discussed in private,"
"What are potatoes and sweet potatoes? Why haven't I heard of them before?”
"That's right! That's right!"
......
Not long after, a row of maids brought over a plate of oval-shaped things!
Du Yuan picked up one and looked at the crowd. Everyone picked up one after receiving Du Yuan's signal.
After seeing everyone pick it up, Du Yuan began to peel it and bite it.
When everyone saw Du Yuan like this, they also peeled it and ate it in small bites. It didn't matter if they didn't eat it. Once they ate it, everyone instantly shouted,
"My lord, what is this? Why is it so delicious?”
"That's right! That's right!"
Hearing everyone's reaction, Du Yuan smiled and said,
"Hahaha! "This is just the simplest cooking method. There are many ways to eat this thing. I'll get someone to pass it to the chef later so that all of you can eat this delicious thing!”
As they ate, everyone seemed to have thought of something. Then, they frowned and said,
"Lord, this is delicious, but"
"Hahaha, I know what you're thinking. Let me introduce you to what you just ate!”
Du Yuan picked up the potato in his hand and said,
"This thing is called potato. If this thing is planted well, it can produce 8000 catties per mu!”
"8000 catties!" This time, everyone was shocked and sighed.
"My lord, please don't joke around. Right now, in our Bingzhou region, the place with the best output value only produces 280 catties of grain. If it really is 8000 catties, that would be amazing!”
Then, Du Yuan said seriously,
"Why would I lie to you? This is the food problem I'm going to solve for you!”
"When you leave later, you can each go to the treasury to collect 5000 catties of potatoes and 5000 catties of sweet potatoes to plant!”
"This sweet potato has the same yield as potatoes, but it might not be as delicious as potatoes!”
Hearing Du Yuan's words, everyone was shocked. It was fine if this kind of grain could reach 8000 catties, but there was another kind of grain that could also reach 8000 catties. As for whether it was delicious or not, no one paid attention to it. In this era where people could not even eat their fill, what did it matter if it was delicious or not?
Everyone's admiration for Du Yuan rose again.

[System Notification: Shangdang County Magistrate's Loyalty increased by 5 points]
......
Everyone looked at Du Yuan's serious expression. Even though they were shocked, they believed what Du Yuan said.
Looking at the shocked crowd, Du Yuan continued,
"Now that the food problem has been solved, I might have to collect something from everyone!”
Everyone immediately returned to their senses and said with determination,
"Lord, tell me!"
Seeing everyone's expressions, Du Yuan immediately said,"
"Ore source! It was mainly iron ore, and it would be best if there were other mines!”
Du Yuan knew that Bingzhou was the future of Shanxi. The coal resources in Shanxi were not just for show.
"So my lord is talking about mineral sources. My Yunzhong County has two of them. When I return, I'll get someone to send the deed tax to my lord.”
After Yunzhong County Magistrate spoke, the other county magistrates followed suit,"
"My lord, my Shangdang County also has three mines. When I return, I will get someone to send the deed tax to my lord."
"My lord…"
Seeing how everyone was so generous in offering so many mineral sources, they must have some leftover at home. It seemed that although Bing Province was constantly in war, it was indeed rich in resources! Then, he said,
"Good! I will remember your contributions today. In the future, I will give you priority in distributing any good resources!”
"In addition, West River County is now seriously damaged. Everyone, help as much as you can in the future!”
After hearing Du Yuan's words, the county magistrates all expressed that they would definitely help Xihe Prefecture. That was Du Yuan's father-in-law's family. Even if Du Yuan didn't say it, they would still go and befriend him!
Chen Mingyuan looked at Du Yuan and thought to himself,"
"Zihao is indeed very far-sighted. After this matter is brought up, it will save a lot of trouble in the future!”
The morning's meeting finally ended. The county magistrates were very excited. They all led their people to the warehouse, afraid that there would be nothing left if they were late!
The county magistrates who came to the storeroom first were all dumbfounded. They thought that they could get more, but who knew that they would all be divided well? However, after getting it, they were still abnormally excited!
The county magistrate who came later was even more excited. He thought to himself,
"Lord Prefect's foresight is indeed extraordinary!”
Chen Mingyuan was no exception. He didn't even go to see Chen Shuiyao and immediately pulled this up.
Then, he became even more excited and asked someone to pull up the divine item. Yes, it was a divine item. He pulled it up and left, as if he was afraid that Du Yuan would regret it if he was too late!
Du Yuan looked at the excited county magistrates and found it funny.
However, looking at the potatoes and sweet potatoes that they were pulling, a huge stone in his heart finally landed!
