Yipin Qiao Nongfei

Chapter 161 I'm on the phone
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Liang Yuan: "Do you understand?"

"Uh... just a few words."

Liang Yuan seemed to be in deep thought.The emperor curled his lips: "Just a few words? Not bad, I thought you couldn't understand a single sentence. After all, you have received foreign envoys with the Ministry of Rites, and you have learned some of this bird's language."

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Where am I impatient to learn from those envoys? What's more, when they are envoys to Daxia, they should naturally communicate in my Daxia language. I learned this superficiality from Alou back then."

The emperor laughed: "If I remember correctly, Jiang Yue is also half-baked, right? After all, he has never really been to Fanbang foreign countries."

"Yes." Liang Yuan nodded: "He doesn't know much, but he can basically understand. But..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help looking at the emperor: "There is a word he taught me specially, and in this girl's words, this word appeared repeatedly several times."

"Such a coincidence? What word?"

The emperor was also interested, only to hear Liang Yuan say indifferently: "Do you still remember the sweet potato I told you about? A Lou once mentioned it specifically."

"Sweet potato?" The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then recalled it, and couldn't help but said, "Is that the sweet potato that you said you could guarantee harvest in drought and flood?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Wanqiu turn around excitedly, and said to Shen Yuanxi: "That's great, they really have raw sweet potatoes in their hands, which were transported across the ocean. Although there is only a small bag, it is enough. Let's go, Let's go and see."

After finishing speaking, he leaned into Shen Yuanxi's ear, and said softly: "I will definitely buy this sweet potato, even if they ask for a lot of money, or even if they refuse to sell me, let's be robbers if we go all out, and we will grab it if we finish it. If you give me more money, it’s really up to you.”

Shen Yuanxi: ...

Seeing Su Wanqiu go happily with the two foreigners, Shen Yuanxi followed behind with a helpless face.The emperor glanced at Liang Yuan: "According to what you said, even Jiang Yue valued this sweet potato that day, so why don't you just give them a pair of children?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said: "Why not? If it weren't for Miss Su, would you and I still know this sweet potato? She knows her and is so excited, she has her own reasons. I think she seems to have a plan in mind, we just need to pay attention to them Two, are you afraid that this sweet potato will run away in the future?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't be so excited just because you saw something novel? Don't talk about anything else, just talk about planting. How can it be so simple?"

"You don't know something." Liang Yuan laughed: "I heard that Prince Rong once offered white sugar to the emperor, do you know the origin of this white sugar?"

"How could I not know?" The emperor gave Liang Yuan a strange look: "His brother-in-law went to the suburbs of Beijing to rest, and out of boredom, he bought a sugar factory and got the secret recipe for white sugar, so he made such bullying Sai Xue. What's more valuable is its taste, which is far better than other kinds of mixed sugar."

Liang Yuan nodded: "After all, it is a matter of eating and drinking. It seems that you don't take it to heart, so you only know one thing and don't know the other. Mr. Fang's sugar workshop does not use southern sugar cane to make sugar, but a There is a kind of food called beet, and it is said that the sugar yield of beet is no worse than that of sugar cane. In time, the sugar industry in the north may completely break away from sugar cane and only focus on beet.”

The emperor's face was shocked, and he lost his voice and said: "As expected, that is really a blessing for the people." After all, it is the emperor, where the pattern of vision is, he immediately thought of the changes in the sugar industry, and how much benefit the people in the world will bring.

Liang Yuandao: "I think so too. It's just that this beet is also called chard, and it grows very little in the wild. If you only rely on this little wild beet, it will be like a drop in the bucket. Fortunately, someone has successfully planted it now. In a few years, it will be available in the wild. It will be popularized in the suburbs of Beijing.”

"Who can do that? Or are the beets easy to grow?"

When the emperor said this, he suddenly realized something, and said in a voiceless voice, "Could it be...that...Miss Su just now?"

Liang Yuan nodded, regarding Su Wanqiu's matter, he met Shen Yuanxi and Su Yunyang last time in the capital, learned a lot, and also knew about her strange experience after falling into the water.

After telling the emperor, the emperor smiled and said: "In this way, this girl is really lucky. The so-called surviving a catastrophe must have a future blessing. It is just a word of comfort to others, but she is really a god." Have pity."

Liang Yuan clapped his hands and smiled, "Exactly."

The two of them never talked about the abnormality of being a demon: no matter what, she's just a farmer's girl, as long as she doesn't rebel, what's the point?If she really shines in planting, she is a vixen, then I will admit it.Even if one day the fox's tail is exposed and the whole world shouts for beatings and killings, the emperor will make a national teacher to confess.Of course, the premise is that you have to farm the land well and don’t think about other things.

Su Wanqiu didn't know at all that he was now engraved in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.She and Shen Yuanxi walked with the two foreigners for half an hour before arriving at their place, a dilapidated church.

These two people were not missionaries. They originally came with the fleet and wanted to make a fortune, but when they arrived, they realized that it was not so easy to make a fortune.Their goods are far less exquisite than those of their peers, and they have not sold a few pieces until now. Because they are poor and have no money to live in a store, they can only come to church to settle down, and usually help with chores in exchange for food.

These sweet potatoes were brought from their hometown, and they cherish them very much on weekdays. Only when they are really hungry, they cook two sweet potatoes and eat them secretly, so there are still more than half of the bag left at this moment.

At this moment, Su Wanqiu was looking at the remaining half of the bag of sweet potatoes, tears almost fell down.

Calculating the time, this bag of sweet potatoes should have been picked when they were just half-ripe. No wonder they were all thin and dry. This is not malnutrition, it can almost be regarded as severe anemia.

Shen Yuanxi stared at it for a while, and finally couldn't help it. He turned his head and asked Su Wanqiu, "You said... this thing... can be eaten? Can it be grown? The yield is still high? Even the big ones can weigh three or four catties? Why am I like that? Do you not believe it?"

Su Wanqiu sighed: "It's normal, even I can't believe it now."

She took out a sweet potato: "Theoretically, sweet potatoes should be unearthed around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do the math, they have been on the sea for more than a month, and they have been delayed for a few days here. They were dug out before autumn, and they can grow like this." It's already a talent."

Shen Yuanxi: ... "That's it, what's the talent?"

"If it weren't for the extraordinary talent, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to grow the seeds."

"Are you sure this can be planted?"

Shen Yuanxi almost screamed out.Su Wanqiu shook her head: "I don't know, but I have to try my best." She looked at Shen Yuanxi: "Unless you can't plant it, if you can plant it, I will let you see the world."
