Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

The melons of the Eight Banners were so huge that Kangxi was both overwhelmed and frightened.

I didn't even bother with potatoes and tomatoes.

But he doesn't take it seriously, Baotai must take it seriously!

The eighteenth cousin, a young prince, has a problem even leaving the palace. When will he find a chance to discover potatoes and tomatoes?

It would be better for him to try it out first.

When the real thing is brought to him, there is no doubt that he will be overjoyed and excited, and his heart will be filled with joy.

Although the role of tomato as a vegetable and fruit has not yet been developed, it is a very famous potted plant.

It shouldn't be difficult.

Baotai thought to himself that he would give the housekeeper a task when he returned home.

It turned out that there were some in the flower garden at home, and they were in full fruit, making them perfect for viewing.

There were potatoes, too, but not in the flower gardens; they were grown on the farm as pig food.

"Really?" Everything happened so easily that Baotai was stunned. He asked in detail what was going on and immediately tried it out.

The housekeeper was so frightened that he immediately sent someone to tell the old princess.

At that time, the old princess was just about to go to bed. She was so scared that she rushed over in her middle clothes. She ran and shouted, "My son, my mother knows you are wronged. But if you don't want to, my mother will risk her old face and go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to change your job."

As a prince, why would you torture yourself like this?

This misunderstanding was so big that Baotai couldn't help laughing: "Good mother, please keep your voice down. Your son is not crazy, and he hasn't lived enough."

The old princess's face was full of suspicion: Are you eating pig food if you're not crazy? Are you biting wolf peaches if you haven't lived long enough?

Both of them are poisonous!

Xiao Shiba's inner thoughts could not be spoken, nor could they be expressed. Baotai could only pretend that he had received reliable information that these two things were not only non-toxic, but also good treasures that could produce a good harvest.

It benefits the country and the people.

So he hurriedly tried it himself to see if he could establish a hereditary succession system for Prince Yu's Mansion.

The old princess was skeptical, but it didn't matter whether it was a credit or not, her son's reputation could not be ruined.

Then he quickly restrained his servants and told them not to make any noise while walking.

The next day, a basket of red tomatoes and a food box of beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes were brought to Yinzhen.

He took a closer look and immediately cheered in his heart: [Ahhhhh~ Is cousin Baotai the worm in my stomach? I was thinking about these two yesterday, and now they are in front of me! I have to tell father Kangxi to plant some potatoes quickly. When the potato flowers bloom all over the Qing Dynasty, there will be no more starving people in the world.]

[Potatoes and sweet potatoes are just as productive, but they must be rotated with other crops. Otherwise, when late blight comes, famine will easily occur. But...]

[How can an ordinary eight-year-old boy like me understand these problems? If I don’t handle them well, I won’t be trusted and I will be exorcised. Potatoes are precious, but life is even more precious. Forget it, I’ll just eat as much as I want. What the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more. Leading a trend of eating potatoes and tomatoes can also help promote it, right?]

Well.

It's impossible to do it, it's definitely not because he is greedy!

Yinxuan held the chicken wing wooden chopsticks in his hand and ate the green rice that Xiao Luzi had just brought back from the imperial kitchen.

Ahhh, I ate so much that my belly is so round.

As a living example, he carried a small basket of tomatoes to the Qianqing Palace to present them as treasures: "Brother Baotai is really a glutton! Others only bring peaches for viewing, and potatoes that they dare to feed pigs for fear of being poisonous, but in his hands, they have become delicacies."

Baotai: ...

I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

But he couldn't reveal his inner thoughts, so he could only bravely carry the big pot that was so greedy that it would not even let go of pig food: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Father. I just had a sudden idea. The ripe and falling wolf peaches smelled sweet and didn't seem to be poisonous. So..."

"I didn't expect to stumble upon this by accident, and it tastes really delicious. That's why I brought some for Eighteenth Prince. Father, please don't blame me for being reckless."

Without waiting for Kangxi to speak, Yinzhen immediately started praising him loudly.

Please ask Khan Ama to love him and plant more tomatoes and potatoes for him.

[Hurry up and agree, they are all good things! Tomatoes can be fruits, vegetables, and seasonings, with many uses, not to mention their rich nutrition. Potatoes, with an acreage yield of thousands of kilograms of potatoes, the large-scale promotion of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes helped the population of the Qianlong era exceed 300 million.]

[Except that the seeds are prone to degeneration, need to be replaced frequently, and are prone to late blight causing large-scale yield reductions, the yield is simply amazing, isn’t it?]

Kangxi, who was still scratching his head about how to solve the Eight Banners issue and didn’t pay attention to potatoes and tomatoes:!!!

How many?

Tell me again how much the production is and how many people there are!

However, his wish was urgent and Yinxuan's ideas were wild and imaginative.

Along with the voices of pleading, asking for potatoes and tomatoes as snacks, he began to think about the various ways to cook potatoes and tomatoes, and said that if he already had tomatoes, then peppers wouldn't be far behind.

[It seems that this product is similar to tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. They were all introduced during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that they were not effectively promoted, otherwise the Ming Dynasty might not have been so hastily shut down.]

When thinking of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, one cannot help but think of the rise of the Qing Dynasty.

By the way, I also sighed about the last monarchs of the two dynasties: [The last emperor was Chongzhen, who died for his country by hanging himself, leaving behind the famous saying "Let the thieves dismember my body, but do not hurt any of the people", which drew an imperfect but absolutely heroic end to the Kangming Dynasty. Puyi...]

[That is, from a small puppet to a big puppet, you will be controlled for your whole life. Fortunately, we met before the Internet was connected, otherwise I would have to listen to thousands of netizens scolding Nuqing.]

Although Puyi was only six years old at that time, he was not capable of being the head of the household or making decisions.

Yinzhen didn't complain too much about him, he just thought of the Hundred Days' Reform that started off well but ended badly, and the old Buddha who declared war on eleven countries and then turned around to measure China's resources and win the favor of other countries.

Not to mention that Kangxi almost had a stroke on the spot, even Baotai suffered a heart attack, okay?

I can't say it, and I can't ask it.

I can only ask the first words and memorize them.

Soon after, all those who knew about the situation held a small meeting to analyze, summarize, and study how to make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Look, right after Baotai accompanied Yinzhen, who was so sleepy that he had to rub his eyes, out of the Qianqing Palace, the princes received an urgent imperial edict?

Kangxi did not keep anyone in suspense, but went straight to the point and told everything he had just learned, even the brat's argument about being strong and clear, and being a slave to the Qing Dynasty.

One could hear the princes gasping one after another, clenching their fists with red eyes, and expressing their loyalty one by one.

Promise to put aside the thoughts of fighting for power and profit, and focus on rallying around Khan Ama.

We will work together with Khan Ama and his son to eradicate all cancers, eliminate all threats, and never allow such humiliation to happen again on Qing soil.

Kangxi smiled and nodded: "That's right. Now the tumor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been removed, and the treasury debt has also come to an end. Let's discuss the salary increase for officials and then talk about the Eight Banners."

The former is easy to say, the latter...

All the princes frowned, no one wanted to be the first to burst the abscess, they just looked at the crown prince: You are the crown prince, you go first.

Yinreng: ...
