"What a bunch of old stubborn guys. It seems I have to hide in the Qianqing Palace for a while. Sanbao, let's crack some melon seeds together." Zhu Yunhuan's attention was all on the group of people outside. Naturally, he didn't notice Ma Sanbao's abnormality. Instead, he casually invited him to crack some melon seeds together.

He and Ma Sanbao have a friendship that supports each other through hardships.

The two of them were very bored staying in the Qianqing Palace because of the break from court, so they didn't follow so many rules when speaking or doing things.

Zhu Yunxun threw the melon seed shells he had just cracked aside and said casually, "They are really noisy. I am getting irritated by all the cracking of these melon seeds."

Ma Sanbao naturally had no time to accept Zhu Yunhuan's invitation to eat melon seeds.

Instead, he said excitedly, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to eat melon seeds! The leaves of the sweet potato vines in Yu Garden are starting to turn slightly yellow!"

The leaves turn yellow.

This means that the sweet potatoes in the soil have absorbed all the nutrients and are basically mature.

This is why Ma Sanbao lost his composure.

This is not the first time that he knows nothing. When he went to inspect the fields in the imperial garden as usual today, he knew what was going on at a glance.

"If it's a failure, then it's a failure..." Zhu Yunhuan was listening with great interest to the ministers outside who were jumping up and down. He heard what Ma Sanbao said, but he didn't think about it at once, so he answered casually.

Of course, his brain quickly realized what was happening.

As the voice stopped abruptly, he immediately withdrew his gaze and stared at Ma Sanbao, his face showing surprise: "You just said that the sweet potato leaves are starting to turn yellow!?"

Of course, Zhu Yunhuan found it difficult to remain calm about this news.

The sweet potatoes are ripe.

It means so many things.

The most important thing, of course, is to initially resolve the inevitable famine of this era, while at the same time liberating land productivity and freeing up space to create other economic values...

Another step forward.

The significance of alleviating famine is self-evident.

The benefits and effects of liberating land productivity, in the short term, are just the issue mentioned a few days ago in the Alchemy Department... In the long term, it is the economic development of the entire Ming Dynasty...

of course.

In addition, it is to save Zhu Yunhuan's reputation, which has become increasingly shattered since the beginning of the year.

Although Zhu Yunhuan had a lot of lice, he was not afraid of itching.

He has long since put aside all the outside world's comments and comments about him.

However, who would want to be scolded if they can be praised?

"Your Majesty! Exactly! I've already helped Your Majesty harvest a crop of sweet potatoes, so I'm sure you'll be right. With such great goodness, I dare not dig it up first, so I've come to report it to Your Majesty."

Ma Sanbao's eyes sparkled, his chest heaving with excitement, and he was filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.

He was personally responsible for growing this crop of sweet potatoes.

He was happier than anyone else.

Ma Sanbao had always been reliable, so Zhu Yunhuan naturally knew that nothing would go wrong. So how could he be in the mood to eat sunflower seeds right now? He stood up with a jerk and tossed the handful of sunflower seeds he had left to the side: "Go and have a look!"

"As expected of the fertile fields that old farmer Zhu personally tended, the ones I planted in the Qianqing Palace are still green! I originally thought they would take a few more days."

"Good! Really good! Especially good!"

One of the most critical links, Zhu Yunhuan of course couldn't wait to take a look and confirm the results with his own eyes, so that he could be completely at ease.

He has always been steady in his work, not the type to pop champagne at half-time.

Although Ma Sanbao had a smile on his face, he hesitated and said, "But Your Majesty, the ministers of various ministries, the Censorate, the Six Departments' Secretaries... most of the officials in the court are blocking the door at this very moment."

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I care about them? They can't pull my sleeves or collar to stop me from leaving. This has nothing to do with me!"
