After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 341 She is the Chosen Daughter

Although Lin Xi said so, how could Lin Wushang be willing to treat the sweet potato vine so roughly?
He asked someone on the farm for a shovel, squatted in the field ridges, and shoveled away the soil from under the sweet potato vines little by little.

With his cautious posture, those who didn't know better thought he was digging ginseng.

Lin Xi couldn't see it, walked over, grabbed a handful of sweet potato vines, and pulled it out.

I brought out a big bunch of plump sweet potatoes.

Because it is sandy soil, the surface of the sweet potato is not stained with much soil. It looks clean, with the purple-red outer skin exposed.

Just rub it a little and you can eat it raw.

Lin Xi pulled off one and broke it with a click, and the sweet potato broke into two halves.

The broken section reveals the crispy red flesh, exuding a sweet taste of sweet potato, mixed with a hint of earth.

She handed over half of it and said, "Try it, sweet potatoes can be eaten raw."

Lin Wushang took it but didn't eat it.

He just stared blankly at the sweet potato plant she placed casually on the ground.

There were so many sweet potatoes growing on one vine, at least seven or eight.

Not small in size.

He picked it up and weighed it. The sweet potatoes on this vine weighed more than ten kilograms!
No wonder it can produce three thousand catties per mu.

But with such a high yield of sweet potatoes, the taste must be average, right?

Lin Wushang wiped the half of the sweet potato in his hand and brought it to his mouth. When he bit into it, he was mentally prepared for the sweet potato to be unpalatable.

Unexpectedly, after taking this bite, he couldn't help but be amazed!

Sweet potatoes taste crunchy, sweet and full of water, which is no worse than fruit.

"How can it be so delicious?"

Not sure, try again.

Lin Wushang took another bite.

This bite is still so delicious.

Lin Xi was overjoyed to see him look stupid like being hit by a pie.

"Why can't it be delicious? It's easy to grow, has high yield, and tastes good. That's why our sweet potatoes are so good."

Lin Wushang looked up at the sky and said in an emotional tone: "This must be a divine thing given to the people by God."

Lin Xi: "..."

"What does this have to do with God? It was I who sent people out to sea to bring back the sweet potatoes. It was also I who taught Chun Niang how to cultivate and cultivate the sweet potatoes so that they are so high-yielding and delicious."

To be honest, she is the chosen one.

Dayong will surely reach its peak under her leadership and usher in a truly prosperous age where people have no worries about food and drink, where illnesses are cured, and everyone has books to read!

...I feel a bit middle-of-the-road.

But she has indeed been working towards this.

Lin Wushang: "Well, you are right, you are the biggest contributor."

At noon that day, Lin Xi asked the cook to make a sweet potato feast.

Roasted sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes (sweet potato balls, sweet potato fries), sweet potato cakes, sweet potato glutinous rice...

Make flowers from sweet potatoes.

Lin Wushang tasted each one and thought each one was delicious.

I was already planning in my mind how to write a letter to the emperor to promote sweet potatoes.

Lin Xi was eating and suddenly remembered, "Didn't I say that Grandpa Lin proposed three measures? Is there another one?"

Lin Wushang came to his senses and said, "Build a literature museum and recruit educated people with both ability and political integrity to jointly write books and compile history."

Lin Xi: "In view of the past, I am qualified to govern the Tao (Zi Zhi Tong Jian). History should indeed be recorded, and now that the world is at peace, the environment is suitable for literati to write books." Lin Wushang nodded in agreement.

Lin Xi: "There should be no objections from the DPRK and China to this proposal, right? And there will probably be a rush to get a place in the literature museum."

Lin Wushang: "Yes, of the three measures proposed by my grandfather, only this one did not touch the interests of the aristocratic families, but was actually beneficial to them, so all the ministers agreed. This only happened with the candidates for the Literature Museum. There was a dispute."

Lin Xi: "How many bachelors does Grandpa Lin plan to recruit?"

Lin Wushang: "It's not decided yet."

Lin Xi: "What do you think of Ji Heng, Cui Min, and Hua Rui's talents?"

Lin Wushang: "There is no doubt about Mr. Ji's talent and learning."

At this point, I suddenly understood her intention in mentioning them.

"Do you want Mr. Ji and the others to enter the Literature Museum and participate in the task of studying history?"

Lin Xi nodded, "Well, all of the teachers I invited back were all talented and learned, but some of them were not interested in fame and wealth, some were from common people, and some were women, so even if they were full of talent and learning, they could not to display.

"Now that such a good opportunity is in front of us, I want to fight for them, and I hope you can fight for them.

"Of course, I'm not asking you to show favoritism. You just need to recommend them in front of Grandpa Lin. As for whether they can pass and get the qualifications to enter the Literature Museum, it depends on them."

Lin Wushang: "Okay, even if you don't tell me, I will recommend it to Mr. Ji and the others."

Lin Wushang left.

Still riding his beloved little tricycle.

When they arrived, the carriage contained gifts for Lin Xi.

When he left, he packed a sack of sweet potatoes that Lin Xi gave in return.

After returning to his residence, Lin Wushang immediately wrote two letters, one to his grandfather and one to the emperor.

Along with the letter addressed to the emperor, there was also a sack of sweet potatoes.

The palace, the imperial study.

The emperor was discussing the matter of the Literature Museum with Lin Jian, the newly appointed right minister, and Wei Jiusi, the left minister, as well as ministers from various ministries.

The two measures of official assessment and population census have not been passed yet.

The emperor also knew that it would not be done immediately, so he did not implement it forcefully.

On the contrary, the matter of the Literature Museum can be settled first.

The construction of the Literature Museum is very simple and can be left to the Ministry of Industry.

Fan He, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was a low-key and calm person, and he was very serious about his work. The emperor felt at ease when it was left to him.

But choosing which people to enter the literature library to write books and compile history is a tricky matter.

The right prime minister recommended this person, and the left prime minister recommended that person. Each minister also had his own favorite candidate, and they even wanted to get involved.

Even if you can't participate in the specific history compilation work, it's good to have a name.

When the compilation of the history books is completed, they will be able to leave their names in history!

Isn't life just for fame and fortune?
To be able to become prime minister or minister, no one here is poor, and the pursuit of fame becomes even more intense.

In order to leave a name in history and be famous for generations to come, these ministers, who are dignified and stable in the outside world, are now acting like children.

The emperor had a headache from the noise, so he picked up the paperweight and knocked it on the table.

"That's enough, stop arguing, gentlemen, the number of places for writing books and compiling history in the Literature Museum is tentatively set at 24.

"As for which 24 people it is, you can go back and each of you draw up a list and submit it to me. I will make my own decision."

Everyone looked at each other and bowed their hands to the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and let them disperse, leaving only Lin Jian behind.
