Chapter 264

The courtiers were full of confusion, and they discussed and speculated secretly along the way.

After walking slowly out of the city, we finally reached our destination.

Everyone looked at Zhuang Ming and was stunned for a moment, "Sanshui Villa? This is... the Zhuangzi of Qingping County Master, right?"

It is said that many workshops are hidden in this village, and countless people want to use their brains, but they are not allowed to enter.

"Yes, it's hers, why did the emperor bring us here?" To be honest, everyone is quite interested, this place has been known for a long time.

Mu Wanqing brought people into the village, and the head of the village came to greet him tremblingly, his feet were shaking.

Mu Wanqing ordered, "Give me the notice, we will collect potatoes today."

"Yes, the little one will arrange it."

Potato? Everyone keenly caught the key points and winked at each other, never heard of it.

Mu Wanqing made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty, please."

The most mysterious farmhouse has been unveiled, revealing its truest side.

The distribution of farms is patchy, one is divided into two, one side is workshop, the other side is crop planting.

There are patrols in Zhuangzi, all of them are female soldiers, valiant and full of momentum.

Just along the way, met several teams, and the entire farm was under their surveillance.

There are also hounds patrolling, making the farm into iron buckets, and water can't be poured into it.

Mu Wanqing did not take them to the workshop, but went straight to the crop area with a clear goal.

This is also divided into several pieces, each of which is marked with a plaque, and the Arabic numerals on it are known only to their own people.

Mu Wanqing took the person to the southernmost piece of land, where the green leaves were lush and growing, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

A hint of joy flashed in the emperor's eyes, "This land is all?"

"Yes, the potatoes I cultivated after three years." Mu Wanqing spent a lot of time and energy to grow this piece of potatoes after constantly improving the seeds and planting them scientifically. "Your Majesty, can we start?"

"Let's start." The emperor tried his best to restrain his excitement.

Mu Wanqing glanced at the villagers who were in charge of planting. The villagers were all big-bodied and very good at farming.

When they saw the emperor brought a group of important officials over, they didn't know where to put their excited hands, and they kept shaking when they saluted.

With an order from above, they lifted up their sleeves and started, with one force pulling the potatoes up by the roots.

I saw a vine covered with potatoes. counted them, and there were twelve of them, of different sizes.

Mu Wanqing picked up the largest potato and handed it to the emperor, "Look, this one can be a staple food."

The emperor looked at the potatoes stained with fresh soil, bigger than Mu Wanqing's fist, "Can this be eaten? Are you kidding me?"

"Seeing is believing, but hearing is false." Mu Wanqing called her entourage to build a fire, set up an iron net, and put the washed potatoes on it to bake.

Also cooked in water.

The eldest prince also followed, closely following his father, looking at the grill curiously.

The courtiers looked at each other. Is this another new type of food? The last promotion of corn kapok to the whole country has given Mu Wanqing a huge reputation.

There is a new kind of food, which is going to heaven.

How could Mu Wanqing's luck be so good? Every time they can find something good, why can't they?

They stared blankly at the villagers as they carefully dug out the potatoes. The more they dug, the more they soon piled up into hills.

Their hearts are shocked, this output is not generally high.

Just don't know how it tastes.

The second assistant's mood is uneasy, envious, jealous, and hateful. A woman is so capable, and she keeps these important officials down again and again. It's so angry.

The people only know one Qingping county lord, but they don't know the names of these important officials.

In the eyes of the emperor, there is only one county magistrate of Qingping, and he will protect her at all times.

No matter how many people impeached her, they were all suppressed by the emperor, who blocked countless conspiracies and tricks for her, and made her focus on the economy.

In his eyes, I am afraid that the combined weight of the entire cabinet is not as good as that of a single Mu Wanqing.

The more impeached, the more reused, this damn good luck.

Some people don't want to see the good of others and want to trample them to death, such as the second assistant.

A seductive fragrance spread, and the first prince's surprised voice sounded, "Good fragrance, is this cooked?"

Mu Wanqing observed it for a while, "I need to bake it for a while longer."

The eldest prince watched eagerly, very impatient.

The emperor was more anxious than him, but his face was not revealed at all.

The potatoes were finally cooked, and the waiter tried them first. When it was everyone's turn to eat, the potatoes were not too hot.

The waiter put the peeled potatoes in a small bowl and delivered them to everyone.

The emperor resisted his excitement and took a bite, but he was stunned, it tasted better than he imagined.

Others also ate it with gusto, "soft and glutinous, very fragrant, but a little bland." Of course, it was bland without seasoning.

The eldest prince stared at Mu Wanqing and fiddled around. Mu Wanqing peeled the potato skins and mashed them, adding seasonings and butter and milk to make mashed potatoes.

After a series of operations, can finally eat it.

She took a bite and squinted her eyes contentedly, this is the taste! Delicious.

The eldest prince looked greedy, he knew that Qingping County Master was a master in eating.

"Sister Qingping, let me have a taste."

Mu Wanqing glanced at him, and generously used a clean spoon to divide the mashed potatoes into two portions, "Take it and eat it."

The eldest prince put the spoon into his mouth, and then his eyes suddenly widened, this taste is absolutely amazing, ah ah ah.

His face flushed, "I declare that mashed potatoes are my favorite food."

No child can resist the temptation of mashed potatoes, not one!

Seeing the eldest prince's devouring appearance, everyone fell into silence and was a little moved.

The Minister of War was the first to resist, "Give me a copy of this too."

The maids around Mu Wanqing all had unique skills. Cooking skills were basic skills, and everyone could master them. It was a question of skill level.

They made a big pot of mashed potatoes, and also made all kinds of potatoes to eat, potato chips, potato chips, French fries, wolf tooth potatoes, vinegar shredded potatoes, potato balls, golden potato balls, beef stew with potatoes, etc. Wait.

A table of potatoes.

Everyone try this and that, it's very pleasant, this potato is delicious no matter how you make it.

"Qingping County Lord, this potato is really good, how did you get it?"

Mu Wanqing said casually, "Du Shaoxuan got it from Hu Shang. I used it to try it out. I didn't expect it to be successful."

The eldest prince held the wolf tooth potatoes and french fries without letting go, and couldn't find the north happily.

These two are his favorites. They are crispy and crunchy. They are served with various sauces. They are so delicious that they are simply delicious in the world.

"Sister Qingping, how did you get the potatoes out? I ate a lot less food."

Mu Wanqing dipped the french fries in ketchup and ate them. She got both tomatoes and peppers, which made many foods more delicious.

"Timing is very important. In the future, you can eat potatoes every day. However, eating less fried food is not healthy."

The eldest prince looked at the large potato field, and then looked at the old high potato mountain dug up and piled up, with a happy expression on his face.

The waiter ran over, his face flushed, and his excited voice was shaking.

"Report to the emperor, the yield of potatoes per mu is more than 4,000 catties."

The emperor stood up abruptly, surprised, "Did you make a mistake?"

"No." The waiter sent a record, and the ten sets of experimental data were all over 4,000 kilograms.

The emperor's heart rose with deep joy, four thousand catties, which is higher than the yield of corn.

The people no longer have to worry about the year of disaster, and with this magical object, they will no longer be afraid of starvation to death.

God bless me!

The officials were shocked and speechless. What kind of concept is this, comparable to the fetish of kapok.

Kapok can keep people warm, and potatoes can keep people full.

The emperor rejoiced, "Qingping county magistrate, is this a good seed?"

"It's alright, you don't need to pick the land, you can also grow on the barren land. I have sorted out the planting method, just follow it."

Mu Wanqing pointed to the potato mountain in front of her, "These can be used as seeds, you can take them with you, just leave 10,000 catties for me, and I promise Du Shaoxuan that 5,000 catties will be sent to Xiliang for the people to sow. ."

Everyone gasped, how much land was there? At least one hundred acres of land, how many potatoes have to be dug up?

How much will make if sell it? She's too flamboyant, and they can't match it.

The emperor looked at her deeply, "Are you willing?"

Mu Wanqing cupped her hands and looked serious, "I study these things for the benefit of the people, to contribute to the court and the king, not for personal gain."

The emperor was greatly relieved that she did not live up to his high hopes and never forgot her original intention, which was very rare.

"Okay, that's great, here's the decree, that the Lord of Qingping County has done a good job in donating potatoes, and the Lord of Qingping County is named the Lord of Qingping County, and Mu Zhongping, the father of the Lord of Qingping County, is named Marquis of Qingyuan."

Mu Wanqing only asked for a title for her father, but the emperor gave her an extra promotion.

Although this is of little significance, she still appreciates it.

"Thank you, Emperor Ron."

The envious eyes of the important ministers are all red. This year, the title of the title is extremely strict, and you don't even think about it if you don't have a special contribution.

It doesn't matter if the head of Qingping County is promoted to the head of the county.

But this Marquis of Qingyuan is too eye-catching, and Mu Zhongping was honored and favored just because he gave birth to a good daughter, and he was easily awarded the title.

Cifu said sourly, "Everyone else is a wife and a son. I didn't expect that Qingping County... The county owner is different from others. He worked hard, honored his father and brother, and earned a title for his father and brother. It's very tiring."

As soon as these yin and yang strange words came out, everyone's eyes were a little different.

Mu Wanqing didn't care, "Are you envious? Then give birth to a daughter like me who is proud of her ancestors."

The second assistant is so angry, will he still hurt others when the children in the family are so good?

Just not!

Du Shaoxuan didn't fall either, and got a few good horses and gold and silver jewelry.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the court and the opposition shook up and down.

Potato? What it is?

The government soon issued an announcement that potatoes are a high-yield grain, with a yield of 4,000 catties per mu. Every family can buy 20 catties at a low price with household registration, ten cents a catty, which is not expensive at all.

This also eliminates the possibility of the rich and powerful monopolizing seeds.

When they heard the news, the people went crazy and rushed to line up to buy.

This is what Qingping County Master did. It must be true. She is a talented person who made the cement water tanker kapok.

All of a sudden, the potatoes were sold out, and there was no need for the government to promote it.

Mu Wanqing sent some potatoes and planting books to the people she was close to, so she closed the door and did not entertain guests.

The emperor gave the civil and military officials a benefit, each of which could receive five catties of potatoes.

The quantity is small, but it is already hard to find outside.

The question is, the rich and powerful have a lot of land, how can this be enough?

The high-ranking officials all found Mu Wanqing's suit and almost made a relationship, "Qingping County Master, please help me, share some potatoes with me, the price is good."

"Qingping County Master, we have been friends for many years, why do you have to arrange it for me?"

"Qingping County Master, my children love to eat potatoes. They have eaten up all their hair. They can't plant them anymore. Please help me get some good seeds."
