Chapter 76 Sweet Potatoes
"There is another good news to tell you today. Kiss me and I will tell you." Emperor Qinglong was rarely so childish, so he approached Ruyi with a stern face.

Ruyi pinched the soft flesh of Emperor Qinglong's waist and threatened: "Will you tell me?"

Emperor Qinglong was unwilling to give in. He raised Ruyi's little mouth and kissed her several times before speaking.

It turned out that the agricultural officer who went to Tong County handed over the certificate. The situation of corn cultivation in the local area was even better than Yan Jialin described.

"I have ordered that the entire province where Tongxian County is located be planted with autumn corn. Once harvested, there will be enough seeds to spread to all barren areas in Qingguo."

"As you wish, the corn is ready. You can take the opportunity to sell sweet potatoes." Every time when farming was mentioned, Xiaotian was the most concerned about it. "We have already planted the seeds of the improved sweet potatoes. Ask Emperor Qinglong to send them out quickly." Plant it."

Ruyi had to make love again and again, and winked at Emperor Qinglong. "Your Majesty, do you want something as good as corn? I seem to remember another kind."

Ruyi still has a good impression of sweet potatoes, because when she was a child, her grandfather said that in the impression of their older generation, sweet potatoes are food and even life-saving food.

It saved countless families during the famine years.So Ruyi also wants to promote this life-saving food, because people in some parts of the Qing Dynasty still don't have enough to eat.

"Actually, the best time to plant sweet potatoes is in April and May. I have already planted them in my land. You can take a look first. If you think it is okay, we can arrange for some people to try planting them in April and May next year." Ruyi explained, Throw another bomb.

"But it does not mean that it can only be planted in April. After improvement, it can be planted all year round, as long as it is not too cold. Stable temperatures in mid-to-late April are most suitable for planting spring sweet potatoes; some areas are suitable for planting summer sweet potatoes. Spring wheat can be planted every June after being cut and ridged; autumn sweet potatoes can be planted from mid-July to early August. Autumn sweet potatoes are mainly planted in the south with a warm climate; while in the southernmost provinces of Qingguo, which are hot all year round, they can be planted. Sweet potatoes are grown all year round.”

Emperor Qinglong suddenly stood up when he heard this: "Seriously?"

Ruyi nodded: "You can take a look at it in the past few months, and it won't be too late to promote it in the spring of next year."

Now it was Emperor Qinglong's turn to spin in circles, which was so good. Emperor Qinglong suddenly burst out laughing, looking at the little Junjun who had just been brought in by the nanny, with great curiosity.

When Emperor Qinglong saw his youngest son, he stepped forward to take it, held it high, and said, "Chengqian, your mother-in-law is really a treasure."

At this moment, Cheng Qian felt that this person looked familiar, and he was lifted up so high. He became excited and giggled.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with the laughter of the two father and son.

While waiting for dinner, Emperor Qinglong was surprised again that Xiao Junjun could eat complementary food.

When Xiaotian brought it up for the first time, Ruyi was indeed just as confused. After all, she had never raised a child.

"Pediatric experts believe that it is ideal to start adding complementary food when the baby is four to six months old. Because from four months on, the baby has entered a sensitive period of learning to chew and taste development, and has shown interest in food. Add complementary food at this time .The baby will be happy to accept it and learn to chew and swallow easily."

Xiaotian is not only a planting expert, but also a childcare expert.So Ruyi can only arrange it for the people below according to its instructions.

Today, Xiao Junjun's complementary food is a quarter of an egg yolk. Emperor Qinglong looked at Xiao Junjun curiously, and he didn't even bother to eat.

"Hmph, next time you don't come for such a long time, Xiaojunjun will know how to call people." Ruyi didn't like it, because the old emperor still believed that his son was more important than himself.

"My little darling, I won't dare to do it next time. I will come to see you every day from now on." Emperor Qinglong didn't have any shame today.

Eunuch Li Sheng trembled a few times when scooping up the soup, alas, he was so unreserved, the emperor is no longer the emperor he used to be.

Xigui's fall from grace for half a month ended with Emperor Qinglong taking the initiative to chase her to Xianfu Palace.There was another burst of sour words in the harem.

On the second day, Emperor Qinglong was really stunned by the sweet potatoes dug out of the ground. They were all big and red.

In fact, it’s not ready to be harvested yet, and it won’t grow even better after a while!Emperor Qinglong immediately made another arrangement.

Longevity Palace.

"Thanks to you, the Queen Mother, this time." After knowing that Emperor Qinglong went to Xianfu Palace again, Mother Ma told the Queen Mother, and she hurriedly hid her merits and fame.

"It's not the Ai family, and the emperor won't be able to survive for a few more days. Those who are supposed to go will go. Those who don't want to go don't bother." The Queen Mother shook her head. This Ruyi was indeed blessed, and she couldn't help but envy her.

 Thank you little fairies ♀ Happy New Year!
