"I am the true Son of Heaven. My words are of great weight. How could I lie to you!”
Chongzhen stood with his hands behind his back, and his face was filled with confidence!
The corners of Cheng Jiming and the others 'mouths twitched slightly. For some reason, this Chongzhen in front of them was asking for a beating!
The emperor was the one destined to be the emperor. Although he said so, didn't Chongzhen know that it was not the case?
Did he really think that his mouth was blessed?
Where did the confidence come from?
However, Chongzhen was the emperor, so whatever he said was true. As a subject, he had to cooperate.
"May I ask Your Majesty, do you know how to grow potatoes?”
Cheng Ji Ming sighed in his heart and asked carefully.
Chongzhen's expression stiffened slightly. He had just had a little experience of showing off his divinity in front of others, and this Foundation Fate had come to slap his face.
What did he know about planting!
"Cough cough!"
"Didn't you call Minister Hou and the others over?" Chong Zhen cleared his throat.”
"Minister Hou, do you know how to grow potatoes?”
Hou Xun and the others looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, I, Liu Xun, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, was once the governor of Shaanxi. I have heard of the potato planting.”
At this moment, a manager from the Ministry of Revenue stood out.
"Minister Liu, quickly tell me how to grow potatoes!" Chong Zhen was overjoyed.”
Liu Xun pondered for a moment and said," Planting potatoes is simple. Cut them into small pieces and bury them in the soft soil. When they germinate, they can be dipped in some grass ashes. Then, you can compact the soil and begin to apply fertilizer. Wait for the results!”
"You still want to cut it?"
Chongzhen was a little suspicious. He had never heard of this planting method. Could it be that the potatoes would be cut and damaged?
"Yes!" Liu Xun said confidently.
Chong Zhen was still a little worried and said,""Minister Liu, you have to be sure. If you damage this potato, I won't forgive you!”
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment. He was not sure because he had only heard of it before. However, he knew that Chongzhen cared a lot about this potato!
If it was done well, it would be a credit!
If not, he would probably be dismissed at most!
As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger!
Liu Xun made a prompt decision and said with certainty,"I'm sure!"
"Good!"
"Then we'll do as you say. Two of these three potatoes will be left to you to plant. If the planting fails, you can go home and farm!”
"If you succeed, it will be a great contribution. I will promote you to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"”
"Your Majesty, this subject will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's high hopes!”
Liu Xun immediately accepted the order.
Cheng Ji Ming and the others couldn't help but laugh involuntarily. Wasn't this a little too childish?
However, they didn't object. They didn't believe that the potatoes could produce at least 3,000 catties per mu.
They would just treat it as a farce.
If Chongzhen wanted to play around, then so be it.
After all, this was not a bad thing. At the very least, it could prove that Chongzhen was thinking about the livelihood of the Ming people!
"Oh right, there's one more thing. Do you know about sweet potatoes?”
Chong Zhen suddenly asked.
Cheng Jiming and the others looked at each other. What was wrong with Chongzhen? Was he going to make things difficult for the potatoes today?
First, the potatoes!
Now, another sweet potato?
Cheng Ji Ming and the others were speechless. They shook their heads slightly.
"It's the kind of sweet potato that can produce about 4,000 catties per mu, and it's even easier to grow than potatoes!”
Chong Zhen looked at everyone with anticipation.
What?
4,000 catties per mu!
Cheng Jiming and Qian Xiangkun's eyes widened!
They were starting to doubt their lives. Was there something wrong with their ears, or was there something wrong with Chong Zhen's brain?
They didn't believe that the potatoes weighed three thousand catties.
Another 4,000 catties of sweet potatoes per mu were produced!
Did the emperor boast so much now?
The existence of such a thing in this world had probably long spread throughout the world!
They were ministers of the imperial court. If they had never heard of it, it was equivalent to not having it!
"We have never heard of it!"
Cheng Ji Ming and the others shook their heads.
Chong Zhen was slightly disappointed, but he would not give up!
Although there were potatoes now, he wanted sweet potatoes too!
"Since you don't know, then pass on my decree. Tomorrow, I will issue an edict to announce to the world that we are looking for sweet potatoes.”Chong Zhen said.
Cheng Ji Ming and the others were completely speechless.
However, they did not object. They could feel that Chongzhen was passionate about the people's livelihood. No matter what, they should support it!
Coincidentally, Chengji ordered several cabinet ministers to be here, so Chongzhen immediately drafted the decree.
The next day, the imperial edict to find the sweet potato would be announced to the world!
For a time, the entire Da Ming fell into a wave of searching for sweet potatoes!
……
……
Thousands of miles away.
Shaanxi, near Jiazhou, in a stretch of mountain range.
An army that meandered for miles was marching.
The red sun and yellow moon overlapped with the blue flag of the Ming Dynasty, fluttering in the wind.
And on Crimson Flame's tooth flag, there was a black " Cao " character!
This troop was Cao Wenzhao's army!
A few days ago, they had encountered the bandits, the Non-stick Mud Tribe, and defeated them in an instant.
Cao Wenzhao led his army in pursuit.
"General, Jia Province is right in front of us. The terrain of Jia Province is very complicated, and there are many hills and forests. If they hide in the mountains, I'm afraid our army won't be able to wipe out the entire Non-stick Mud Tribe!”
The young general Cao Bianjiao said solemnly.
Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly. The bandits in Shaanxi weren't strong, and they were nothing compared to the Imperial Court's army.
However, they just ran fast!
He had been in Shaanxi for a year, chasing these bandits all over Shaanxi.
These raiders were also smart. Once they entered the mountain, they had no way of dealing with them.
"We have to eliminate the Non-stick Mud Tribe before they enter Jiazhou!”
Cao Wenzhao's eyes flashed with a cold light as he prepared to give the order.
Suddenly!
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
"Cao Wenzhao, receive the decree!"
A eunuch with a few guards rode on a horse and held the imperial edict in one hand as he shouted loudly.
Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao quickly dismounted.
"Cao Wenzhao accepts the decree!"
Cao Wenzhao knelt down on one knee.
The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and said,"By the will of heaven, the emperor has decreed…"
The first half of the imperial edict was almost entirely praising Cao Wenzhao for his prowess in suppressing the bandits.
Only at the end did he explain his intentions.
"I heard that the leaders of the Shaanxi bandits, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, have committed heinous crimes. Minister Cao, you must capture these two alive or kill them on the spot!”
Li Zicheng?
Zhang Xianzhong?
Cao Wenzhao looked at Cao Bianjiao in confusion. There were these two people among the Shaanxi bandits?
Cao Bianjiao was also dumbfounded. Although these bandits did not use their real names when they rebelled, they had found out the names of most of the bandit leaders.
For example, the real name of the Non-Sticky Mud tribe that they were chasing now was Zhang Cunmeng!
However, they had never heard of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong before!
Shaanxi had these two people?
Even if he did, he would probably be the leader of a small group of bandits, right?
This made Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao very confused. Why would His Majesty care about two little thieves?
Furthermore, he wanted them to look for it?
Shaanxi was so big, where could they find one?
