Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zhao Liangchen was a little worried: "Teaching the people how to make sweet potatoes is easy, just find a few cooks.

But finding people to teach them how to farm is a bit difficult. These are new varieties, and few people are growing them, so naturally there are fewer people with experience.”

Su Qin: "I asked foreigners how to plant it, so I know a little bit. This sweet potato needs to be grown in advance. There is a greenhouse in the Wuning Marquis's Mansion. I have asked the craftsmen in the Wuning Marquis's Mansion to start growing the seedlings, and now I have some experience.

From what I've heard, almost all the prestigious families in the capital have grown new varieties. Their gardeners and tenant farmers must have experience. As long as the emperor issues an order asking them to contribute their methods and people, there will definitely be people who will go."

Zhao Liangchen: "Isn't this a secret operation? Aren't you afraid that King Liang's men will cause trouble?"

Su Qin shook her head: "Don't be afraid. Food is related to the livelihood of the people of the world. It is of paramount importance. Even if King Liang knew about it, he would not dare to rashly destroy it. This is different from disaster relief money. As long as the emperor proposes it, even Master Yan and others will support it.

If Prince Liang sabotages secretly and is discovered, it won't be like my father's case, where they can just find a scapegoat.

No matter how corrupt the officials are, they all want to be corrupt officials of a prosperous dynasty. No one wants to be a corrupt official of a poor and weak country. They will keep a close eye on this matter.

This matter must be done openly and honestly to achieve political achievements, so that it can be counted on the emperor's head. It will also let Master Yan and others see that the emperor has the ability to stand on his own feet, which will be beneficial to his personal rule."

Zhao Liangchen nodded: "Okay, I will go to the palace to talk to the emperor later."

Su Qin: "Okay, I've written a detailed plan and some methods for making sweet potatoes. Please copy a copy and show it to the emperor. Only when the emperor has seen and tasted it with his own eyes can he have a more intuitive understanding."

Zhao Liangchen not only praised: "Well, you are thoughtful"

"correct."

He took out a letter from his pocket and said, "A letter from Chanzhou. This is a letter from your father. I came back today mainly to deliver the letter to you."

Su Qin quickly took the letter and began to read it. As she read, her eyes became red. Although Su Jijing was not her biological father, she regarded their family as her own family. She lived alone in Shangjing City. Although she had the care of Mr. Zeng, she often felt lonely and helpless. Now she could receive a letter from her family and read the sincere care in every word. She was still very moved.

Zhao Liangchen saw that her eyes were red and wanted to say something to comfort her but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Aunt Zhang came in with a bowl: "Master, the noodles are ready. Please eat first and then we can talk."

A rich aroma wafted over the bowl. Zhao Liangchen, who had just finished a sweet potato, felt his stomach growling again. He eagerly took the bowl of noodles. Seeing the large piece of meat inside, his eyes widened. "Is this beef?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded. "It's so cold, some old cows have frozen to death. There are beef sellers in the market. I told you about it and you asked me to buy some. This is the braised beef noodles you taught me to make. It's delicious. Try it."

Zhao Liangchen picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. Sure enough, his mouth was full of fragrance and chewy texture.

Seeing him eating so deliciously, Mr. Zeng glanced at Su Qin, whose eyes were red, and raised his beard: "I want to eat too."

Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded: "There's more in the pot, I'll go get more."

Soon Aunt Zhang brought in two bowls of noodles. Su Qin asked in surprise, "Is there any left for me?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "The girl is too thin. She should eat more."

Su Qin has been eating a lot, but she doesn't gain weight despite worrying and working hard every day.

Zeng Lao nodded and placed the bowl of noodles in front of Su Qin: "You should eat more. Why can't you gain weight?"

Zhao Liangchen raised his head from his bowl of noodles and said with some guilt, "It's all my fault. I handed such a big mess to you and made you worry so much."

Zeng Lao: "It's good that you know. This girl has worked much harder than you."

Su Qin: "It's nothing. I'm not just doing this for you, but also for my family and for my future stable life."

She picked up the noodles and put them into her mouth. The warm, salty taste was like a warm current, instantly dispelling the melancholy and homesickness in her heart.

After the three of them finished their noodles, Su Qin returned to her room and brought out the plan she had written, as well as a white bear fur cloak, a fox fur hat, and a pair of deerskin boots.

Zhao Liangchen's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the clothes: "Is it for me?"

Su Qin nodded. "The leather I collected from foreigners before, the wife of the Marquis of Wuning had it made into finished products. I left one set for you and grandpa."

Zhao Liangchen took it with surprise, feeling the soft fur, and felt an itch inside as if something had gently scratched him. He picked up the white bear fur cloak and put it on, instantly looking more noble. He also put on the fox fur hat, which matched his handsome face and made him look even more handsome.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Zhao Liangchen looked at Su Qin expectantly.

Su Qin smiled and nodded: "It looks good! It suits you very well."

Zhao Liangchen was delighted to hear this. He tried on the deerskin boots again and found they were the right size. He felt very comfortable wearing them. He said to Su Qin happily, "Thank you, Su Qin. I love these gifts so much."

Su Qin smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are all family. This is what I should do."

"A family." These three words instantly filled Zhao Liangchen's heart. He looked at Su Qin with burning eyes: "We are a family?"

Su Qin didn't understand why he was so excited all of a sudden, so she nodded: "Yes, you are grandpa's student, so we are naturally a family."

Zhao Liangchen felt his heart was filled with sweetness. He had never felt so happy before. He finally had his own family, and Su Qin treated him as a family member.

He looked at Su Qin with a bewildered face and really wanted to hold her in his arms and share this joy with her, but he couldn't. He could only wrap himself tightly with his cloak, as if he was wrapped in happiness.

Su Qin couldn't tell what was wrong with him, but Zeng Lao saw it. He coughed lightly, interrupting Zhao Liangchen's reverie: "Why don't you take it off quickly? Aren't you too hot?"

Zhao Liangchen didn't know whether it was because of the heat or the embarrassment, his face turned red. He quickly took off his clothes and went to get paper and pen to copy the plan written by Su Qin.

During this time, he resisted the urge to look up at Su Qin several times, which caused him to copy a little slowly.

Su Qin was also writing a reply letter to her father, and thinking about what else she could bring back to them.

After writing, Zhao Liangchen put the letter in his arms and prepared to leave. After taking two steps, he took two sweet potatoes from the stove and put them in his arms.

When he entered the palace, he happened to meet Zou Tai who was on duty.

Seeing his snow-white cloak, Zou Tai said with envy, "Being a deputy commander is so different! Look at this outfit, it's even more impressive than the royal family."

Zhao Liangchen said proudly: "This was prepared by Su Qin."

Zou Tai suddenly felt envious and said, "Why am I not included in this? Although I am not Zeng Lao's student, I have taken good care of them during these days when you were away."

Zhao Liangchen said proudly: "If you want it, pay for it."

Zou Tai gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You have no conscience. When you were broke, I spent a lot of money on you. Now that you are rich, you actually ask me for money just for a set of clothes."

Zhao Liangchen took out a sweet potato from his arms and stuffed it into Zou Tai's hand: "Don't be angry, I'll treat you to it."

Zou Tai snorted coldly: "Am I so easy to deal with? A food...Huh? What is this?"

Zhao Liangchen said, "Sweet potatoes are bought from foreigners. They have a high yield and require little land. Try them. If they taste good, have the people in your father's garrison plant them. Then you won't have to worry about food for the army anymore."

Zou Tai restrained his expression. His father was stationed in the north, where the weather was bitterly cold and crops were difficult to grow. The people there often did not have enough to eat.

He took a bite of the sweet potato and his eyes lit up. It was soft, sticky and sweet. "This is so delicious? Why didn't I realize it before?"

Although his family had many industries, most of them were used to subsidize the army in the north, especially food. All the food was transported to the north, so there was no idle land to grow new things.

Zhao Liangchen patted his shoulder and said, "I came to the palace to talk to the emperor about this matter. When your father comes back at the end of the year, you can talk to your father."

His father comes back every year to report on his work, and he will be back in a few days.

Zou Tai nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely mention it to my father."

After saying goodbye to Zou Tai, Zhao Liangchen went directly to the emperor's palace. With his current position, he could meet the emperor directly.

When the emperor finished reading the plan he had copied, his eyes widened in surprise: "Are these sweet potatoes really as good as you say?"
