Chapter 809
Liu Fu stood aside with his hands down, trying hard to control the expression on his face, so as not to reveal half of his emotions.

"Your Majesty, I learned about these potatoes by accident. They are grown in some prefectures outside the capital." The Minister of the Household Department said excitedly, "I have specially sent people to investigate and bought some potatoes."

"That potato is really delicious, and it's extremely simple to make. The key point is that it can fill people up like rice noodles."

"Many restaurants sell potato dishes, which are very popular among diners. Those farmers who grow potatoes have better harvests than other crops."

"In some places, potatoes can still be planted for two seasons, and now many people have started to plant potatoes. This year, we will have a bumper harvest in Damo!"

Hubu Shangshu's youngest was excited. As long as there is food, the common people can have enough food, and many problems in Damo can be solved!

The people are the foundation of the court.

Food, that is the life of the people.

Now that there is food that can feed the people, isn't this a great thing?

"This potato is indeed a good thing." Emperor Mo nodded slightly and said.

"Such a good thing, I think it should be used by the court, and vigorously promote it so that the people of Damo can grow potatoes." Hubu Shangshu said.

"Yes." Emperor Mo nodded, and then asked, "Does the treasury have enough money to buy seeds?"

When money was mentioned, the Minister of the Household Department's face changed, and he smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, the money in the treasury is still a little tight."

"Your Majesty, I think that since potatoes are such a good thing, why buy them? Such things are beneficial to the country and the people, and should be used by Da Mo."

Emperor Mo looked at the minister who spoke, and asked with a slight smile: "I think silver is also a good thing. Can the silver in Aiqing's family be used and contributed by Da Mo?"

When the minister who spoke just now heard this, he immediately shrank back in fright.

"Your Majesty, this potato is indeed a good thing." Hubu Shangshu said meaningfully.

"Of course I know it's a good thing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have helped Wang'an Trading Company when they wanted to do this business." Of course, Emperor Mo knew what Hubu Shangshu meant.

Didn't he just find out that the promotion of Tudou has something to do with Wang'an Commercial Bank.

The Wang'an Trading Company sells scented soap, although the ministers in the court did not say it clearly, but some of them don't know that His Majesty invested a sum of money with internal funds for the sale of soap and soap, and there are dividends.

It is absolutely impossible for His Majesty not to know that Wang'an Trading Company makes potatoes.

"Since such things can fill the people's stomachs, I will naturally help them." Emperor Mo said slowly.

Emperor Mo was clearly aware of what the people in the palace were thinking: "Before there is no large-scale planting, who can guarantee the harvest of potatoes? If the people are allowed to plant rashly, the harvest will not be good in the end. The people cannot bear the consequences. Da Mo can't bear it anymore."

Some ministers in the court couldn't help but slander in their hearts, cunning.

Tudou has now entered the attention of everyone, and naturally many ministers in the court have inquired about it.

When we were in Wenqing Mansion, the potatoes sold very well.

The prefect of Wenqing Prefecture even used this potato to help beggars.

Potatoes fill you up, that's a fact.

It may not be easy to promote planting in other places, but there is absolutely no problem of no harvest as His Majesty said.

"What I can do is to ensure that they can be planted smoothly, so that no one will destroy them for profit or other reasons. Even if it is just a possibility, I also hope that Dalu can be planted to fill the people's stomachs with food." Emperor Mo sighed softly.

This sympathetic look really made some ministers in the court vomit blood out of anger.

It is obvious that His Majesty is favoring Li Tianyou, and is protecting Li Tianyou from planting potatoes.

Now His Majesty actually said something so righteous and seamless, they really couldn't refute it.

"This matter, if you want Da Mo to plant potatoes, you can directly talk to the people from Wang'an Trading Company." Emperor Mo said with a smile, "This is a matter related to the people's livelihood, and I also attach great importance to it."

Emperor Mo directly pushed this matter out, do you want potatoes?
Okay, let these ministers find a way to go.

He doesn't worry about it.

After the next court, several ministers in the court gathered together to study this issue.

As for Emperor Mo, he went back to deal with the memorial.

Potatoes are naturally a good thing, but it is absolutely impossible for him to order Tianyou to donate potatoes directly.

How could it be so easy to take out what his son had worked so hard for?
If you want potatoes, you have to spend money to buy them, or... there must be a legitimate reason for Tianyou to take them out.

For example... Tianyou, as the prince, contributes to Da Mo.

Emperor Mo was in a good mood. After so many years, he had finally come to this point, and he was about to reunite with Tianyou and his son.

Emperor Mo was in a good mood, but some people were in a rather bad mood.

The ministers in the court were discussing the matter of potatoes, and their initial opinion was to ask the Ministry of Households to take out the money.

"Not so much money!" The Minister of the Household Department is quite strong in using money. "It costs a lot of money to build dams this year. Not to mention that there are droughts in several places, and it will be difficult to relieve disasters in autumn." They want silver."

"As a citizen of Da Mo, with such a good thing, I don't want to give it away..."

"There are so many good things in the world, Mr. Wei, if you get them, will you dedicate them to the court?" King Hui asked slowly from the side.

Master Wei choked, and explained awkwardly: "His Royal Highness, what I mean is... we can call the people from Wang'an Trading Company to talk. Everything is easy to discuss."

"Since the treasury doesn't have this silver, then that's the only way to go." Hui Wang said with a smile, "It's just that the court has something to ask for from others, and we even called the people from Wang'an Commercial Bank to question, out of reason Can’t even say it.”

King Hui stared at Lord Wei, and Lord Wei understood what King Hui meant when he heard it.

Doesn't that mean, let a few of them go to Wang'an Trading Company in person.

The problem is, it is really disrespectful for them to go to the trading firm and meet the merchant.

Master Wei had a troubled look on his face, which made King Hui smile: "So, let the Ministry of Households buy it. It's the most fair and reasonable to buy and sell."

When Minister of the Household Department heard this, he immediately became anxious: "His Royal Highness Hui, the treasury's money is really not enough. If Mr. Wei doesn't want to go, you can use other methods. Mr. Wei, are you here to give this money? "

Master Wei's face turned green.

Let him out?
Why?
However, thinking about the money invested by His Majesty in Wang'an Commercial Bank, Mr. Wei could only admit it through gritted teeth: "Then let's go to Wang'an Commercial Bank together, for the sake of the people of Damo, we have to go there too."
