Chapter 983

Tasted the sweetness brought by going to sea, the eyes of the group of officials in the household department were green. The harvest of going to sea once is worth the tax of the national treasury for three years, but they can only stare.

This is not the day after the fleet came back, the officials of the Ministry of household made a discount to the effect that the profits from going to sea are huge, and more arrangements should be made.

Jiang Chan laughed it off. Of course, she beat back the folding of Hubu. They only saw the huge profits brought by going to sea, but did not see the hidden risks behind it.

Nowadays, science and technology are underdeveloped. Almost everyone hangs his head on his belt when he goes to sea, which can be said to be a great risk.

No matter how the officials of the Ministry of household hopped, Jiang Chan bit to death. He can only go to sea once a year. Everyone is not allowed to go to sea without permission. Even if rich businessmen want to go to sea, they should file with the Ministry of maritime affairs and go through all formalities.

As Han Yao went to the north, Zuo Xiang almost disappeared in the court hall, and no one dared to disagree with Jiang Chan. Even if Hubu is jealous, it can only swallow it.

In the past, they were complacent because they had the money bag of the national treasury, but they were all upset when they thought of the piles of gold, silver and jewelry in the private treasury of the imperial palace.

Jiang Chan is not used to them. These people in the household department are all masters who push their nose and face. If you indulge them, they will get out of control.

The impact of going to sea has gradually disappeared, and the promotion of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops has quietly begun near the capital.

Jiang Chan specially assigned the Royal experimental field to several officials skilled in farming at sea. After getting these seeds, they wanted to sleep on the ground at night.

"Niang, big Si Nong reported that today is the time for sweet potato harvest. Please go to the field and have a look."

Jiang Chan put down her Zhu pen and looked at father-in-law Xu: "let's go together. Let's go and have a look at the overseas crop yield."

When Jiang Chan and green bamboo Duke Xu and others arrived at the land, all civil and military officials basically gathered at the land. They are also curious about the overseas crop production. How can they say that they have mobilized so many people to bring back?

When the Empress Dowager arrived, the big Si Nong waved his hand, the farmers waved their heads, and a mud ball the size of a fist rolled out. Jiang Chan slightly raised her eyebrows. Sweet potatoes are indeed productive, but the seeds of later generations have been improved a lot. I don't know how much sweet potatoes can produce per mu today.

However, as long as it exceeds 800, it is worthy of national promotion, because it is not selective about the environment, cold and barren resistant. Although it can not be used as a staple food, with these, it can also make everyone's life better.

Today, the main thing is the sweet potato in one mu of field. With more and more sweet potatoes in the bowed room, the eyes of martial generals such as Duke an are becoming brighter and brighter. It was the literary ministers who all breathed a little.

It used to be fooling around. Now I know that if it is popularized, people will no longer be afraid of hunger.

With the help of the guards, within an hour, all the sweet potatoes in an acre of land came out. Looking at the sweet potatoes piled into hills, Jiang Chan took a deep breath: "count the output."

Big Si Nong was also happy. Looking at these sweet potatoes was closer than looking at his son. These were real achievements.

When he heard that the yield per mu was more than 150 stones, an Guogong and other veterans laughed loudly. The literary ministers were all stunned and stared at the mud balls in a twinkling of an eye.

Jiang Chan frowned slightly: "if it is popularized, the soil and water are different everywhere, and the output will be discounted."

Big Si Nong respectfully said: "my mother said that the land was planted in the experimental field. We always observed and carefully cared for it, so we had so much output. But even if it was planted in barren land, Weichen dared to guarantee that it would produce at least 50 stones per mu."

According to the records of the Han Dynasty, one stone is about 27 kilograms, and fifty stones are about 1300 kilograms. This output is very in modern times, but it was unthinkable in ancient times.

At this time, the yield of rice per mu is only 500 Jin. After paying taxes, we will leave few seeds for the next year.

The people usually eat the most coarse grain and fine grain, which are unthinkable.

"Empress, this thing should be popularized all over the country. Weichen suggested starting from the north and other barren places." a minister bowed down to Jiang Chan in a solemn tone.

Jiang Chan picked her eyebrow: "according to what Lord Chen said, promote it from the northern counties first. Since this matter was put forward by Lord Chen, let Lord Chen do it."

"Da Si Nong should write down the precautions for sweet potato planting so that the government can promote it to the people." after walking around, Jiang Chan tried to take all aspects into account.

"Send some sweet potatoes to the imperial dining room, let the imperial chef ponder the practice of sweet potatoes, and pass these dishes out together."

Jiang Chan has several methods of sweet potato in her mind, but she can't explain how she came to these, so she can only let the imperial chef bother a lot.

Lunch is naturally sweet potato. The imperial chef is worthy of being the imperial chef. Although he has never seen sweet potato, he has also made several dishes.

In addition to roasted sweet potatoes and silked sweet potatoes, they also made sweet potato cakes, sweet potato rice and so on. They smell sweet.

When I think of sweet potato, I'm covered with treasure. Sweet potato leaves are also good vegetables. Sweet potato can be made into vermicelli, dried sweet potato and so on, which can be preserved for a long time.

Jiang Chan seldom entertains officials. This is the first time since she listened to politics. Looking at several sweet potato dishes on the table, no one will raise an objection. Just smelling the sweet smell can't help it, okay?

The two princesses Zhao runbing and Zhao Runqing sat down under Jiang Chan. Jiang Chan didn't deliberately detain them. She would find someone to teach them what they wanted to learn.

Two years later, they had already faded their petty spirit, became generous, and had a good upbringing all over their body.

His eyes glanced at Zhao runbing. It seemed that the eldest princess was about to be sixteen years old. It was time to consider the choice of her husband. Now that she is in this position, she has to bear what she should do.

Take another look at Zhao Yi, who tries to straighten her calf. A smile floats in Jiang Chan's eyes. Little Tuanzi was so stiff faced that he tried to look like a little adult. It was really a little funny.

The court was full of laughter and words, but the North was not so calm. Since Liu Cheng and ye Yunluo went to the North together, it was a difficult and dangerous journey.

After several assassinations, ye Yunlong and his bodyguards were able to reach the North safely. But when I arrived in the north, I was uneasy. First, there was the solicitation of officials. If the solicitation was not successful, I immediately began to trip up.
