When the navy set out, the people of Xianyang had already begun the autumn harvest. Now, one month later, they have almost harvested.
This year's rainfall has been moderate, and the crops are growing well. It's a good year for a bumper harvest!
In addition, the people are now growing high-yielding crops, and as the imperial court reduces taxes, every household has a lot of surplus grain left!
Fortunately, corn can be stored for a long time after being dried.
But sweet potatoes and potatoes cannot be dried. They cannot be dried at all.
Before, I just thought about this thing being high-yielding, making more varieties, and storing food for the family.
Unexpectedly, the output of this thing was so high that it was impossible to finish it.
You can't just watch it go to waste, right?
This presents a very serious problem!
How to preserve these grains!
Although Ying Feiyu has ordered people to publish the scientific method of digging storage cellars in the newspaper, there is still not enough to store those potatoes and sweet potatoes!
In the past, people were worried about how to fill their stomachs.
Nowadays, we are worried about too much food.
After officials from all over the country reported it, all the ministers in the DPRK and China were dumbfounded!
"The world has changed! In the past, what the morning court discussed was how to fill the people's stomachs and how to allocate food! But now what the morning court wants to discuss is how to let the people store the uneaten food!"
"Alas! Memorials from various counties are flying to Xianyang like snowflakes. Almost all of them are asking other counties if they need food, or hoping that the court can find a way to help the people store food, otherwise they will have to watch it. Watching the potatoes rot at home!”
“Every county has already had a bumper harvest, which other county will need food...?”
The ministers shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty has arrived..."
Jing Fu's sharp voice echoed throughout the hall, and then Ying Zheng walked in with a big belly.
The ministers quickly shut their mouths and saluted respectfully!
"Eh? Where is Feiyu?"
Sitting on the dragon chair, I accidentally glanced and found that the boy was not there.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince said that he has some things to do and will come back later!"
Jing Fu leaned close to Ying Zheng and whispered.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
This kid didn't follow me when something happened
"This servant doesn't know, but he seems to have gone to the imperial kitchen!"
Jing Fu bowed and told what he knew.
"dining room?"
Ying Zheng was even more confused. Did this kid not have breakfast?
"Okay, leave him alone. If you have something to report, if nothing happens, just retreat from the court!"
"Your Majesty, most of the reports from the counties and counties are still about food issues. I hope the imperial court can find a solution!"
The ministers in the row of civil servants walked out of the queue and spoke.
"Solve it! How else can I solve it...?"
When he heard that this was still the case, Ying Zheng immediately frowned, "This matter was discussed yesterday and there was no result at all. What else can I do?"
"Besides, didn't the young master also say that! The population will gradually increase in the future, and with the development of industry and commerce, more people will give up farming and switch to industry and commerce, and more people will buy food in the future!"
“If that still doesn’t work, next year we’ll plant more corn and other easily stored grains!”
He really didn't expect that one day he would be annoyed by the ministers because of too much food.
"But now the people are watching the potatoes rotting in their hands day by day and are helpless, and they are running around in panic!"
The ministers who had been scolded had their mouths flattened, but they still went ahead and played.
"No matter how anxious you are, there's nothing you can do...!"
"My son, I have a solution!"
Ying Zheng was a little impatient and was about to get angry when a childish voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Ying Zheng's eyes also lit up.
This guy is finally here!
The young lady carried a dark red wooden food box in her hand, crossed the high threshold, and walked to the main hall.
"What did you just say? You said you have a solution? Do you know what I am discussing with you dear friends, so you said you have a solution?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
Although what this kid said yesterday was sound and reasonable, it was all about the future.
There are no good suggestions for the problem at hand.
Could it be that after some sleep, this kid would be able to do something?
"It's just that food cannot be stored!"
Ying Feiyu raised his little face and smiled cutely.
If this is the first time he goes to court, he will definitely think that he is a well-behaved and obedient baby, and there is no way he can be associated with the commander-in-chief or the prince!
It is even more impossible to imagine that Da Qin's development today could only rely on a child!
"How do you know?"
Ying Zheng was very surprised.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this kid is amazing!
"Then let's talk about it!"
"My father's ideas are all in this food box!"
Ying Feiyu picked up the food box that was almost taller than him and said with a smile.
"Feiyu, don't be ridiculous. I haven't talked to you yet. If you are hungry, you can come back later, but it is not appropriate to carry the food box to the main hall, right?"
Xiao Zhengtai is the youngest son of Ying Zheng, and the first one who can sleep and eat cakes in the main hall.
But this guy wants to eat openly in the main hall today. Isn't this a bit too much?
Let’s not talk about whether it is in compliance with the rules or not. The key is that it is soup, watery, and full of fragrance. Isn’t this deliberately distracting the ministers?
"What's inappropriate? I've been preparing this food box for a long time!"
Xiao Zhengtai said with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, okay, I agree that you will not go to the morning court today. You should go back to Guanghua Palace to have a slow meal!"
Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly.
"really?"
"really!"
"Okay, then I'll go back with this potato storage method!"
After saying that, Ying Feiyu carried the huge food box and made a gorgeous turn.
"etc……!"
Ying Zheng suddenly waved his hand, "Is it possible that what you said is true? Is the method of storing it really in the food box?"
"Father, we have known each other for more than a day or two. Do we only have this little trust? You still don't believe what I said?"
Ying Feiyu immediately rolled his eyes.
"That's not true, it's just too weird. Could it be that the potatoes need to be cooked and preserved?"
Ying Zheng was very confused.
"That's half right!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded and slowly opened the lid of the food box.
Suddenly the aroma overflowed and spread throughout the hall.
All the ministers were invaded by the aroma and suddenly showed intoxicated expressions!
"I wonder what is in this food box? It has such a fragrant smell?"
"Who knew, the young master is talented in various fields, and he is even more talented in cooking!"
"Could it be that the food box contains potatoes?"
"No, no, we have all eaten potatoes before. They taste soft and glutinous, and are really delicious, but the aroma is different. I'm sure it's definitely not a potato!"
"Then why did the young master say that the contents of the food box can solve the storage problem of potatoes and sweet potatoes...?"
The ministers smelled the overflowing fragrance and kept guessing.
