The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 118 Concubine Shu’s little plan
Gu Yuzhi rushed out without even putting on his coat, his big round eyes shining: "Chen Dianyi, what did you just say? Are there any exiles in the iron mine who can weave?"

He suddenly felt that the sky had cleared up, and he walked back and forth with his little hands behind his back: "Wow, can the hemp poles we stored before be used?"

Since cotton has not been planted this year, there will definitely not be much left. The cotton cloth will definitely be sent to the capital by his mother-in-law, the emperor's brother and several sisters-in-law.

The guard who went to ask questions brought the person back with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, these women said they can weave..."

Gu Yuzhi grinned extremely happily. The weaver had been found, and now all he needed was the loom!

Su Shilang, who was endowed with great popularity, worked hard all the way, and it was not until the end of September that he finally returned to the capital. He didn't even return home, but went straight to the palace with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Kneeling in the imperial study, Shilang Su pointed at the two large sacks next to him, his voice unable to contain his excitement: "Your Majesty! It's really not easy for Your Highness."

He wiped his tears and continued: "The place in Xinliang is too remote. Even the official roads have not been repaired. When I first went there, I just felt my heart was cold."

Gu Yuchen's forehead was throbbing with veins: "Tell me the important point!"

So he was really impatient to meet these ministers alone and talked for a long time without getting to the point, which was a waste of time!

Su Shilang made two ouch and opened the sack in front of Gu Yuchen. The sweet potatoes and potatoes rolled in, and the originally clean ground was instantly covered with mud.

Zhao Xi's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Gu Yuchen without any trace, and saw that he was still sloppy, and his body that was originally sitting upright was even slightly tilted.

Su Shilang chuckled: "Your Majesty, this is the new food discovered by His Highness King Wen!"

He pointed at these two items and introduced: "Both of these items can be used as staple foods. These are potatoes, which can also be used as vegetables. Sweet potatoes can be placed in porridge. Your Majesty, the best news is that these two items are more filling. , and very productive!”

What does high yield mean? It means that it can replace other grain crops that are expensive and have low yield, so that ordinary people can eat more fullly!
Gu Yuchen sat up straight, the casual look on his face disappeared, and winked at Zhao Xi, who quickly brought the sweet potatoes and potatoes over.

Gu Yuchen didn't mind being dirty at this moment. He took these two things and looked at them over and over, and even brought them to the tip of his nose to smell them.

He frowned slightly. To be honest, it didn't have much flavor.

After putting the potatoes and sweet potatoes back, Zhao Xi hurriedly brought a basin over for Gu Yuchen to clean his hands.

He didn't say anything, but Su Shilang couldn't hold it back and continued: "His Royal Highness Wen Wang gave you a lot of these. Except for the ones you gave to you to try, the rest were said to be given to me to take back and plant."

It doesn’t matter if there are few seeds this year. When he plants them next year, the seeds can be distributed to various places.

He can guarantee that sweet potatoes and potatoes will be grown in many places in Sang Country in the year to come!
Gu Yuchen smiled slightly: "You mean, Xiao Liu found these things?"

Su Shilang nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I went to Mobei and saw these things, and I was still wondering if His Highness would give them to me. Unexpectedly, His Highness took the initiative to mention this matter before I even opened my mouth."

He looked at the emperor carefully, and wanted to say that it would be enough to let the emperor have a taste of it, and let him use the rest for research and cultivation.

The production will be up next year, so you can eat enough!
But these words were so disrespectful that Su Shilang did not dare to speak at all and could only look at the emperor helplessly.

Gu Yuzhi knew very well about Su Shilang's temperament. After asking how many things he had brought back, he asked for a sack of two things and let Su Shilang take everything else away.

Shilang Su came full of excitement and left full of excitement. After returning to the mansion and lying comfortably on the bed, he suddenly remembered that he had not mentioned to the emperor that he would send a loom to His Highness.

But it doesn’t matter, he can deliver it himself!
That night, there were two new things in the palace, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The ladies in the harem love sweet potatoes more deeply, after all, they are sweet.After getting Gu Yuzhi's letter, the empresses in the harem realized that sweet potatoes and potatoes were actually new species grown in Xiaoliu Feng, and no one else had tasted them before.

In an instant, the ladies in the harem were even more moved.

Who doesn’t understand the principle that things are rare and expensive? Xiaoliu is poor. If he sells all these things, how much money can he get back?

Xiao Liu is too honest and suffers too much.

The ladies in the harem went back to pick up the private treasury, thinking about what they could use to compensate the poor child a little.

Among them, Concubine Liang was the most touched because she knew that Xiaoliu had given these seeds to her father for free.

So the next day when I learned from Shilang Su that Xiaoliu wanted looms, Concubine Liang generously took out her body and bought it for me. She bought a few more and sent them to Xinliang.

As soon as the Liangfei Empress makes a move, the other empresses will take notice and take action. We also want to participate in sending looms!

Only Concubine Shu was unhappy.

Before, she thought that Liang Fei was just the daughter of a farm official. She just sent some seeds. How could she help Xiao Liu?

Thinking about it now, she was so naive, Xiaoliu helped her a lot!

As long as Su Shilang researches the cultivation methods of these two crops and promotes them throughout the Sang Dynasty, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue may belong to Su Shilang in the future!
No, no, I have to find a way to help Xiao Liu.

In order to help Gu Yuzhi, Concubine Shu racked her brains and finally got some information from Concubine Taixian.

Xiaoliu wants to open an inn, but Nanny Xu is a female official and cannot be a chef...

Concubine Shu thought about it and finally came up with a good idea. She turned around and made a cup of soup and gave it to Gu Yuchen.

"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty." She smiled and handed the soup to Zhao Xi, "I made this specially for you. I've been cooking it all afternoon."

She raised her hand and said, "Look, my concubine's hands are all red."

Concubine Shu blinked her eyes, looking cute and innocent.

Gu Yuchen let out an ouch, waved, and sat down with Concubine Shu in his arms: "I feel really sorry for you. Zhao Xi, go and ask someone from the Imperial Hospital to take a look at Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes turned and she said with an angry smile: "Your Majesty, should you give me a little reward?"

Gu Yuchen's expression did not change, but his heart was like a mirror.

Gu Yuchen knew exactly what Concubine Shu had done in the past few days.

However, if she does this, she will indeed save herself a lot of trouble.

Gu Yuchen suppressed the calculation in his heart and said with a smile: "What reward does my beloved concubine want?"

Concubine Shu sat up straight in an instant, her beautiful eyes shone, and she pouted and said coquettishly: "It's not sister Liangfei who stimulated me. Xiaoliu gave such a good gift to Shilang Su, and I want it too." . Your Highness, why don’t you let Aunt Xu’s family go to Xinliang. I heard from Concubine Taixian that Xiaoliu wants to open an inn.”
