"45 shi! One acre of land can actually produce 45 shi of sweet potatoes!"

After Wang Maolin and Gu Yulang weighed the sweet potatoes and got the confirmed number, they reported it to Emperor Wende with excitement!

Emperor Wende pretended to be calm when he heard this and said:

"Good! Good! I will reward you handsomely!"

Xie Yiyao was also very happy. After hearing what Emperor Wende said, she looked at Emperor Wende with some anticipation.

As a result, after saying this, Emperor Wende acted as if nothing had happened and continued to look at the farmers digging sweet potatoes with a look of satisfaction!

Xie Yiyao: ……..

You should reward me!

Why don’t you reward them generously with gold and silver?

Emperor Wende was constantly communicating with his ministers, laughing out loud when they made sense of the conversation, and he totally didn't notice Xie Yiyao who was eagerly waiting for his reward!

"45 dan?! Sir, that sweet potato actually produces 45 dan per mu!"

Liu Liu was full of surprise. The grain yield could reach 45 dan per mu, which meant it could save lives even if the grain tasted unpalatable!

The people of their Linyue Kingdom have already started eating Guanyin soil. Linyue is on the brink of collapse, otherwise the prince would not have listened to the emperor's advice and come to Yanjing to seek a glimmer of hope.

Wang Yi looked at the cheering crowd in a trance, then stared at Xie Yiyao for a long time before leaving the greenhouse without saying a word.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Liu saw that Wang Yi looked unhappy, so he quickly followed and asked with some concern.

"I am just a little sad. Why don't we have someone as capable as the Crown Princess in Linyue? If we had someone like the Crown Princess, the people of Linyue wouldn't have suffered so much. In the end, it's our royal family's incompetence that makes the people suffer with us."

Wang Yi looked gloomy. He suddenly understood why his father asked him to come to Yanjing.

Liu Liu's excitement over the high yield of sweet potatoes was also dampened by Wang Yi's words.

Yes!

What is he cheering for?

Those who can grow 45 dan of grain per mu are from Da Deng, not Lin Yue.

Liu Liu suddenly thought of the future of the people of their Linyue Kingdom. The old people and children were destined to be slaughtered, their women would become Da Deng's women, and their young and middle-aged people would become Da Deng's slaves.

I will never be able to turn over in my life...

The world's general trend has changed. Deng is rising, and they are dying...

Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi looked at the backs of Wang Yi and Liu Liu who left dejectedly, looked at each other and said nothing.

Xie Yiyao called Bao Da Ting over and whispered a few words to him, and Bao Da Ting took the order and left.

Soon, a small vendor came to the door of the inn where Wang Yi and Liu Liu were staying, roasting sweet potatoes and shouting;

"Take a look! Take a look! Roasted sweet potatoes! Sweet and delicious roasted sweet potatoes! Don't miss it if you pass by! If you want to buy it, hurry up! Opportunities don't come every day, so take action when the time is right!"

"Baked sweet potatoes! Baked sweet potatoes! Anyone who has traveled to the south or the north, anyone who has swum in the mountains or played in the water, come take a look!"

"Baked sweet potatoes! Baked sweet potatoes, sweet and delicious baked sweet potatoes! Beyond the mountains, there are greener hills, beyond the buildings, if you don't eat sweet potatoes, you will be worried about your head! Ah! Ah!"

Xie Yiyao looked at Bao Da Ting speechlessly:

"Where did you get this idiot? Is he selling roasted sweet potatoes or rhymes?"

The gossiper was so embarrassed that he kept picking his feet. This guy was his neighbor who he used to go to buy braised meat from.

Now that natural disasters continue to occur, life in the capital is difficult, so his neighbor came to Yanjing to seek refuge with him.

Just today I was thinking of asking him to play the role of a small vendor, but I didn't expect him to do this to me!

“Baked sweet potatoes! Baked sweet potatoes…”

The loud hawking sounds from the other side were still going on, so Bao Da Ting continued to watch in secret, and Xie Yiyao quickly ran away.

She was really embarrassed to death after hearing this!

Everything in Yanjing is back on track now. Xie no longer has to work as a laborer day and night, so she has recently started to act like a pretentious lady again.

She can't stay with someone so loud, it will damage her image as a lady!

Wang Yi and Liu Liu were sitting in the room of the inn, looking at each other in silence, when they suddenly heard a burst of hawking sounds. The hawking sounds were so different that they immediately made Wang Yi laugh.

"Let's go! Let's go try these roasted sweet potatoes that will make you worried to death if you don't eat them!"

Liu Liu was also intrigued by the hawking of the street vendor, so he followed Wang Yi downstairs. When the street vendor saw the two of them, he shouted even louder.

There were not many people buying at the roasted sweet potato stall. Today was the sweet potato harvest day, and people who went to work today could exchange their work points for sweet potatoes.

Therefore, every household received sweet potatoes and went home according to the sweet potato eating recipes distributed previously. People boiled, baked, or fried them, and some even started to try the method of candied sweet potatoes.

Therefore, there were not many people gathered around the roasted sweet potato stall, and soon it was Wang Yi and Liu Liu's turn. They each held a big sweet potato and started eating.

"Woohoo! Delicious! Delicious!"

Wang Yi's depressed mood was swept away. The sweet potato was sweet and soft, a taste he had never tasted before. It was so delicious that he couldn't control his joy!

"Liu Liu, go buy two more pieces. No! Go buy four more pieces!"

Wang Yi said to his study partner while munching on a roasted sweet potato.

After hearing this, Liu Liu hurried to buy roasted sweet potatoes, fearing that they would be gone if he was late!

The roasted sweet potato vendor smiled so hard that his teeth were showing:

"Master, is it delicious? Two more pieces?"

Liu Liu took out his purse and glared with his beautiful eyes:

"Who are you looking down on? Bring me four more! Big ones!"

"okay!"

The vendor would naturally pick the biggest and best ones for him without Liu Liu telling him. After all, he was shouting so hard today just for these two people.

"Master, you don't need to pay me. I can buy two roasted sweet potatoes for one copper coin. The money you just gave me can buy you roasted sweet potatoes from me for the rest of your life. From now on, whenever you see my stall, you can eat as many sweet potatoes as you want!"

The peddler put on the face of an honest merchant and sternly refused Liu Liu's money! Anyway, this stupid rich young man will never see him again.

Liu Liu was deeply moved after hearing this. He never expected that the people in Yanjing City were so simple and honest!

Even he had to admit that the merchants in Yanjing were much more honest than those in Linyue. He was always cheated by the merchants in Linyue!

Woohoo~

He suddenly had a feeling that good people like him belonged here. There were no unscrupulous businessmen here, and no one would cheat him out of his money!

Liu Liu left with his bulging purse, looking touched, leaving the merchant heartbroken!

Hey! Lao Liu, I was just being polite, but you really didn't give it to me!

Wow wow~

His huge pile of money!

But the merchant soon figured it out, and later he would ask around to find out where that guy was going!

In order to make the sweet potatoes soft and delicious, he roasted a few and broke them, wasting most of the day before he finally baked the sweet potatoes with such a great taste!
