Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

Old Master Fu was waiting not far from the door. When he heard the imperial decree, he hurried into the imperial study carrying sweet potatoes.

Seeing the emperor sitting in front of the table, he put the sweet potato on the ground and bowed to greet him. "This old minister greets His Majesty. May His Majesty be well."

"Xiao Anzi, please sit down for the Duke."

Xiao Anzi, quickly move out a stool, place it behind Mr. Fu, and ask Mr. Fu to sit down.

"Why did Duke Fu come here today?"

Duke Fu hurriedly handed the memorial in his hand to Eunuch An, "This old minister does have a piece of good news that he would like to report to His Majesty."

"Happy event? What kind of happy event is it?"

"Your Majesty, I got something new in my house yesterday. After thinking about it again and again, I think this thing may be useful to Your Majesty, so I came to the palace today to tell Your Majesty about it."

"Oh, what is it? You actually have to go there in person, old man."

"Your Majesty, to be precise, I came to the palace this time to bring two things to Your Majesty, but these things are a little special. One is the sweet potato that Xiao Anzi brought in just now. The other one is in the carriage outside."

"Sweet potato? Is there anything special about it? Duke, could you please tell me in detail?"

"Your Majesty, this is a kind of food. It can be stir-fried, deep-fried, boiled, or roasted directly. These are not the magic. The most important thing is its yield. Your Majesty, you also know that the yield of ordinary grains can only reach 300 to 400 kilograms per mu, or as much as 400 to 500 kilograms per mu, but this thing can reach at least 1,000 kilograms per mu. If it is planted well, it can reach 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms, or 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms per mu. And its requirements for soil and water are not very high."

Hearing this, the emperor stood up in dismay. "Are you serious, Duke Fu? This plant can produce up to 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms per mu today. But is it just a lie? Where did this plant come from? How did you know about it?"

"Your Majesty, this was discovered by my grandson by accident. He thought it would be beneficial to the development of the country, so he immediately sent someone to hurry up. It was delivered to me yesterday. He hopes that I will present it to Your Majesty. This sweet potato was originally discovered and successfully planted by a poor woman in the city. What's more amazing is that she made a fortune with this plant. Now she has a good life."

The emperor looked at the things in the basket and seemed a little bit unbelievable.

Mr. Fu continued, "Your Majesty, what do ordinary people lack the most today? Food! Every year, ordinary people die of hunger. If these are promoted, it will be a great blessing for the people of our Great Jin Dynasty! It can improve the living standards of our people. Your Majesty, if the people have food to eat, everyone can live and work in peace. Why worry about instability in this world?"

"So, how should we eat this?"

"I tried this yesterday. It's soft and sticky, and sweet. The only bad thing about it is..."

"Why is Duke Fu hesitant? Is it because eating it is bad for people? Will it harm the body?" The emperor asked with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, if it is something harmful to the body, I would never dare to send it into the palace. But after eating this thing, it will produce some waste gas in the body. It makes people feel a little indecent. It should not be eaten in large quantities." Duke Fu said a little embarrassedly.

"Hahahaha, this is a trivial matter. In the face of hunger, a little exhaust gas is harmless." The emperor laughed.

After laughing, he pointed at the sweet potatoes in the basket and said to Xiao Anzi, "Take them to the imperial kitchen and ask the imperial chef to cook them according to what Duke Fu said."

Xiao Anzi quickly picked up a basket of sweet potatoes, took it to the door, and ordered the eunuch to send it to the imperial kitchen.

The emperor turned around and asked Duke Fu, "You said there were two rare items. This sweet potato is one of them, and it is used for eating. What is the other one?"

Fu said to the emperor with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that you will have to go to the Imperial Garden to get that thing. It's clean and tidy in the Imperial Study. It might not be appropriate to send it here. Could you please move and accompany me to the Imperial Garden?"

"Oh, what's the difficulty? Zheng is tired, so let's go to the Imperial Garden."

The emperor walked out of the desk and led the way to the Imperial Garden, and Duke Fu hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, the things are on the carriage outside the palace gate. Can someone go and get them?"

"Okay, Xiao Anzi, ask someone to go to the carriage of the Huguo Palace and bring the things over."

"Yes," Eunuch An responded quickly, turned around and told the young eunuch to get the things.

"Your Majesty, the magic of this thing is that it can harden everything. It is better to see it and try it. I cannot describe its magic in words. It is better to wait for the thing to be brought over and let Your Majesty see it for yourself."

While they were still talking, the people sent by Xiao Anzi had returned, and Wu Da followed. He watched the whole thing from beginning to end yesterday, and he was the one who needed to execute it today.

The things were placed in front of the emperor, who looked at the three piles of powder in front of him and glanced at Duke Fu.

Duke Fu: "Wuda, just repeat the process that Jiang Qi did yesterday to the emperor."

Wu Da hurriedly repeated the process Jiang Qi had done yesterday. After finishing, he stepped aside and said, "Your Majesty, please look, the concrete has been poured. If it is just hardening, the results will not be available until tomorrow morning."

The emperor looked at the unformed concrete in front of him and said, "Tomorrow morning? Okay, let's wait until tomorrow morning to see what the result will be. Come on, have someone guard this place. No one is allowed to approach."

Two Royal Guards immediately stepped out, stood beside the concrete, and began to carry out the order.

Just then, the sweet potatoes prepared in the imperial kitchen were delivered, some fried, some boiled, some roasted, and some steamed.

After Eunuch An had tested the poison, the emperor picked up the chopsticks, picked up the fried sweet potato, and put it in his mouth. A taste he had never tasted before filled his mouth, and the emperor ate several mouthfuls in a row. This changed his taste.

After tasting all of them, the emperor finally smiled from the bottom of his heart. "Well, this thing is really good. If this concrete is as magical as it is said to be, then there will definitely be a huge reward."

Duke Fu hurried forward to thank the emperor, confirming the fact that the emperor was willing to reward him.

Giving gifts to the emperor for the sake of the country and the people is one thing. Asking for a reward is another big thing. This is what my grandson repeatedly asked me to do in the letter. The reward must be large or small!

The more the better, the more the better!

The emperor was very pleased, and his hearty laughter echoed throughout the imperial garden for the first time.
