A few days after Jin Yan received the letter, the whole Jiangnan knew that Xun Yu had become famous in a literary meeting.
And the deeds of Xun Yu are becoming more and more legendary and mysterious.
The common people just talked about it for fun and had nothing to care about.
Jin Yan was worried about the emperor on the dragon throne. He didn't know if he could hear such words.
Jin Yan heard the answer to this question when Xun Yuxiu Mu returned to Lin'an.
Xun Yu said: "Our emperor is very eclectic in his actions, and he never believes in these myths. However, he did ask me if I really knew it from birth."
Jin Yan asked him, "How did you answer?"
Xun Yu: "If I had known it before I was born, my mother would not have been killed, and we would not have been separated for more than ten years before we met again."
Jin Yan understood.
The emperor does not believe in ghosts and gods.
But for some things, the theory of ghosts and gods is better than other methods, so he doesn't mind using it a few times.
The emperor's plan is just to stabilize the country and make the world peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
…
At the beginning of the new year, Xun Yu asked for leave from the court and returned to Lin'an. Xie Lin, who was traveling alone, also returned to Xie's house.
Returning with him was a Xie family caravan that had been wandering overseas for three years.
This time they brought back corn, potatoes and chili peppers.
The appearance of these things brought Jin Yan a greater surprise than Xun Yu suddenly appearing behind her in the capital.
Looking at the overjoyed Jin Yan, Xun Yu suddenly thought: "This is what you told me before, a new crop with high yield, strong adaptability to the land, and can be widely planted?"
Jin Yan nodded, "That's it. It's a pity that we only brought so much and we have to keep it as seeds. Otherwise, I will ask the kitchen to make some more delicacies for you to try."
Seeing that Jin Yan couldn't put it down and regretted the potatoes in his hand, Xie Xi said dotingly: "It doesn't matter, dad originally sent the caravan out to sea to find these things because of you. You can eat as much as you want."
When Jin Yan was ten years old, he had a heart attack and high fever. He was so feverish that he was confused and said a lot of things that seemed to others to be gibbering.
But as a father, he would never ignore a word from his daughter.
He wrote down all the words he heard clearly, such as "potato", "corn" and "chili", and asked his daughter what she wanted to do with them. The answer she got was "eat".
Xie Xi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Everyone in Lin'an knew that Xie Xi doted on his daughter.
Even the emperor in the palace said that his daughter was more delicate than a princess.
He has always put the best things in the world in front of his daughter, including fine clothes and fine food, for fear of being a little dissatisfied.
Unexpectedly, my daughter wanted to eat these things when she was most uncomfortable.
But after Jin Yan said it, Xie Xi would not pretend that nothing happened.
He first searched the classics and found no relevant records, so he asked people to search everywhere.
After searching for a long time, they could not find these things in Daxi's land, so they sent caravans out of the fortress, to the sea, and to Southeast Asia to search for them in all places where there had been human habitation.
Finally, Huangtian paid off.
He finally brought all these things to his daughter.
After Xie Xi spoke, Xie Lin also said: "'Not much' is their modesty. The others are still on the boat. We can't unload them all at once, so we can only show these to the family owner. In fact, after knowing that the yield of these crops is very high, , they exchanged a lot of silk brocades and silverware with the locals and brought back as much food as possible."
"How many are there?" Jin Yan asked.
Her eyes were bright, and she was happier than if she had obtained some priceless treasure.
Xie Lin looked at it, feeling weak in his heart, and said: "They were afraid of arousing suspicion, so they exchanged it in batches with different people, and they would dress up in disguise every time. After all the gold was exchanged, the seeds exchanged would always amount to several thousand kilograms." Yes, if you just eat it, there will be enough left over for planting."
Jin Yan finally felt relieved.
With something to do, she forgot about everyone else and immediately had someone carry a bunch of potatoes to the kitchen.
Xie Xi and the others talked about important matters for a while. When they went to the kitchen, the whole kitchen was filled with Jin Yan's voice directing everyone to do things.
Not only everyone in the big and small kitchens got involved, but even the maids and guards came on stage.
When Hu Hu and others used a tofu-making strainer to filter out the potato starch and asked Jin Yan if he needed such a thing, Jin Yan jumped up and down excitedly.
"That's it. Put it aside to settle first. Guards Wang, you have strong hands, continue to grind these potatoes into dregs."
After Jin Yan finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen. A senior chef asked Jin Yan if the fire could cease.
After seeing it, she said: "This is fine, but before that, let's take out some baked potatoes for everyone to try."
The chef took out seven or eight. Except for Xie Xunyu and a few people, the others were divided into several.
Jin Yan ate a small piece by himself, showing a satisfied expression.
She came to Xie Xi and said, "How are you, daddy? Are you soft, glutinous, sweet, and very delicious?"
Xie Xi nodded, "It's delicious. No wonder you are always in a hurry. When you were sick, you kept shouting about what kind of mashed potatoes you wanted to eat."
Jin Yan blinked, "Did I say that?"
Xie Xi didn't care either. He promised: "Dad will make arrangements and choose the best land to plant in spring..."
"Dad, wait a minute. I'll tell Master Li how to make the mashed potatoes, and then see if the ribs are almost cooked." After Jin Yan finished speaking, he ran away.
Xie Xi shook his head helplessly.
Soon, Jin Yan came out and said to Xie Xi: "Dad, maybe the growth of potatoes and corn does not require such good land at all. The fertile land should be reserved for growing rice and wheat."
Xie Xi paused, looking a little hesitant.
He is not worried about not being able to plant it, nor is he afraid of wasting it. He is just worried that if someone leaks the information, someone with ulterior motives will use it to attack his daughter.
Xun Yu said: "Let's try what Yan Yan said first."
If this batch of potatoes is not enough, the worst possible outcome is that the imperial court will send a ship to look for them overseas.
Xie Lin also said: "Master, now the caravan has recorded the route. After they rest for a while, we will arrange for more people to go to sea. Then we will find a way to exchange more seeds."
If the eldest lady wants to eat anything else, you can get it as well.
"Dad, it's okay. At most, you can take out the extra part and plant it in a flat and fertile land, and plant the remaining part in a slightly dry and hard soil. It can be used as a control group experiment. Then you can see how big the difference in yield is. It’s better to make a decision later,” Jin Yan said.
Xie Xi naturally had nothing to say.
Jin Yan added: "Traditional fertilizers are also somewhat simplistic. If various manures, plant ash, straw, and other things that can promote growth can be combined into a more effective and simple fertilizer in proportion, then no matter what you plant, you will get twice the result with half the effort." .”
Thinking about it this way, agricultural tools seem a bit single and backward.
Fortunately, she learned so many crafts from the descendants of the Mo family in the last world, and the technical drawings and so on were all engraved in her brain.
Ah, it seems that she is going back to her old profession again!
Jin Yan: The farming skills of our ancestors cannot be forgotten.
