The cultivation range of sweet potatoes is all in the Hutuo River Valley, although it is now beginning to be promoted on a large scale in Daiguo.
However, there is still no complete statement from the public about the specific output.
The imperial court was even less aware of the situation. The emperor was overjoyed with the yield of more than ten shi of corn per acre.
Now that a man with a yield of 500 shi per mu suddenly appeared, no wonder Liu Qi was making such a fuss.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Looking at Liu Qi's flushed face, Liu Deng asked softly.
"Is everything you just said true? Do you have proof?"
Liu Qi was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and he was staring at Liu Deng.
"certificate?"
Liu Deng was really stunned. What kind of certificate does this require?
"Well, there are still thousands of acres of land being harvested in the Hutuo Valley. I wonder if this counts?"
Liu Deng thought about it for a moment, then carefully considered his words.
"This is true!"
Liu Qi suddenly stood up and strode to Liu Deng's side.
"Of course we take it seriously! If your highness doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check! However, we have to do it faster. If we go there too late, I'm afraid there will be nothing left now!"
Liu Deng scratched his head and spread his hands indifferently.
I still have potatoes in my hands. These are really good things suitable for the land in Guanzhong. They can be grown in any deserted mountainous area.
However, the titles of Su Jian and Zou Yang should be about the same, right?
The two of them couldn't get the position of a marquis on the battlefield, but they didn't expect to be able to get a marquis while working at home. Speaking of their luck, they are really enviable to others!
"You wait here for me, I will report to my father now!"
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he rushed out excitedly. This kid Liu Deng might lie about other things.
However, in such a big matter, the credibility is still very strong, not to mention that the court can send people to investigate.
There has been such a big fuss. If this is a fraud, it will not stand up to the investigation!
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Didn’t you say that the emperor was ill?
Didn’t it say that the emperor was in a coma?
No matter how Liu Deng shouted from behind, Liu Qi never paid any attention to him and just disappeared in a flash.
"His Royal Highness, you are here!"
Seeing Liu Qi appear, Wang Deyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"How is Father today?"
Liu Qi couldn't hold back his excitement and couldn't wait to tell the emperor the good news.
"The imperial doctor has just given medicine. His Majesty is still awake, but he is very groggy. Your Majesty, if you want to speak, please say a few words less..."
The emperor's health was not good, and Wang Deyi seemed very lethargic.
After following the emperor for so many years, as a master and servant, the two of them can be regarded as close friends in private.
Seeing Liu Heng's health deteriorating day by day, Wang Deyi felt depressed and couldn't express it to others.
"I understand, father-in-law, just keep watch outside!"
Liu Qi took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
"Why are you here at this time? But what happened?"
When the emperor, who was in a daze, heard footsteps, he realized that it was his son who had arrived.
"Father, are you feeling better?"
Looking at Liu Heng's pale face, Liu Qi's nose felt sore for no reason, but he quickly held it back.
"My son is here to tell my father some good news. Father, that boy Liu Deng has specially prepared two gifts for you!"
The closer he got, the more sad Liu Qi felt in his heart. His father, who used to be aloof and aloof, had now become a dying man.
When you get close, you can hear the emperor breathing like a bellows in his throat.
"Has this kid come to Beijing? Have you ever tried him?"
"Cough-cough-cough-"
Liu Heng struggled to speak. After finishing this sentence with difficulty, he couldn't stop coughing.
"Father!"
Liu Qi couldn't hold back his tears anymore and burst out of his eyes, but he still hurried forward to help the emperor calm down.
"Does he have any rebellious intentions?"
Although his body was extremely weak, Liu Heng still grabbed Liu Qi's shoulders, held on and asked.
"Father, he has no rebellious intentions. The secret decree was sent back intact!"
Liu Qi said quickly.
After hearing these words, Wuhen let go of his hand and his body gradually relaxed.
"Don't blame my father for always being so dark. It's really because the Han Dynasty can no longer afford chaos..."
Liu Heng lay weakly on the bed, staring blankly at the gauze above his head, and murmured to himself.
"Father, please stop talking! After you recover, we can talk more slowly!"
Seeing the blood oozing from the corner of the emperor's mouth, Liu Qi burst into tears.
"I know my own illness. I haven't felt better since autumn. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter. There are some things I can't hide anymore..."
A few turbid tears flowed out slowly from Liu Heng's eyes, dripping down his cheeks and onto the pillow.
"Father! You will not die. You will live a long life. You will live long, long live, long live!"
Liu Qi knelt directly on the ground, trying hard to suppress his crying.
"Idiot... Is there anyone in this world who is immortal? Everyone in the world says that I am the emperor and can live for ten thousand years. However, how can there be an emperor in this world who is immortal for ten thousand years?"
When Liu Heng said this, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Father, stop talking, stop talking!"
Liu Qi could no longer suppress his feelings, and his sobs echoed throughout the palace.
"I know you are a good boy, and I also know that Liu Deng is also a good boy, but it is a pity that he is not your son! Otherwise, I, the great Han Dynasty, will be the most powerful in the world within a hundred years..."
"Cough-cough-cough-"
As he spoke, blood oozed from the corners of Liu Heng's mouth again. Liu Qi hurried forward to help him calm down and wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.
"Father! Stop talking, stop talking! Imperial Physician! Tell the Imperial Physician quickly!"
"No, let me finish! If I don't finish today, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future!"
Liu Heng grabbed Liu Qi's hand with difficulty and said stubbornly.
"Father!"
Feeling Liu Heng's cold hand in his hand, Liu Qi's body couldn't help but tremble.
"I know you are a good boy, but Awu is too proud, and you two brothers will definitely have a fight!"
"Father, please stop talking. My son is willing to give up this throne to him. My son will go to Liang Kingdom, go to the border, and become an idle prince!"
Feeling his father's life gradually passing away in his own hands, the grief in Liu Qi's heart could no longer be increased.
"no no!"
