Roasted sweet potatoes, also known as roasted sweet potatoes, have a burnt and tender skin, a sweet and delicious taste. A big sweet potato can even serve a meal.

Since Chongzhen came here, he basically ate delicious food made from the imperial kitchen. Why did anyone get sweet potatoes for him to eat? Therefore, Chongzhen didn't remember that there were already sweet potatoes in the Ming Dynasty, and he was thinking about when he would send someone to the Americas to find this thing.

He quickly ordered the imperial guard to stop. Chongzhen walked quickly towards the stall regardless of his image, regardless of the crowd he had been kneeling all the way, leaving only the roasted sweet potatoes left in his eyes.

In Chongzhen's eyes, this thing is not only sweet potatoes, but also the cornerstone of his own stability. With this thing, what about corn? What about potatoes? Are there all these things? But they are not promoted? It seems that there is a great man named Xu Guangqi?

While asking the stall owner who was kneeling on the ground to get up, Chongzhen took away a sweet potato placed on the edge of the stove. Although it was hot, he couldn't bear to throw it away and gently broke it apart. It was indeed the kind of roasted sweet potato I had eaten in my previous life.

Chongzhen didn't bother to be dirty, but just blew it gently and stuffed the browned and oily sweet potato heart into his mouth. Wang Chengen's heart was so scared that he raised his throat.

The soft and glutinous sweet potato heart melts in the mouth, and a sweet feeling runs directly into the stomach along the throat.

Chongzhen didn't bother him. He took a few more bites before putting down the sweet potato in his hand. Then he asked the stall owner, "Brother-in-law, I'm here to ask you, where does this thing come from?" Then he praised, "Brother-in-law has good skills, and the roast is sweet and soft, and it's delicious and tight. I can't eat this on weekdays."

The stall owner was about fifty years old. He was originally frightened and frightened. After hearing what Chongzhen said, he immediately opened his mouth with a few teeth missing and smiled: "To your Majesty, this thing is called sweet potato."

The little old man’s home has an old age with Lord Xu Guangqi and Lord Xu, so he taught him to roast this thing. This time, thanks to Lord Xu’s funding, he brought in a lot of sweet potatoes from his home and planned to try it in the capital. Unexpectedly, the business is quite good."

Chongzhen secretly wrote down the name Xu Guangqi. It seems that this person really exists, so it will be easy to deal with. Let the Jinyiwei look for him and be a good horse for me in the future. Then he said to the stall owner: "How many sweet potatoes do you have in your father-in-law? I'll ask for them all. Someone will take them with you to send them to the palace."

After saying that, he realized that he had no money on him, so he simply asked Wei Liangqing to make money to settle the bill. The stall owner was so scared that he refused to accept it. Until Chongzhen pretended to be angry, "I ordered you to accept it, and you will accept it. The people are in a difficult life and have been paying taxes for the country and the government. How can I beg for your things?"

Seeing that the stall owner finally accepted the money, Chongzhen ordered Wei Liangqing to take people back with the stall owner to get the remaining sweet potatoes, and then he got back to the palace.

Chongzhen pretended to be forced to run away, but what was left in the Dongyue Temple was the legend of the Holy Emperor benevolent and loving the people. No one mentioned the original name of the archway in front of the Dongyue Temple. Because when the emperor came, the people wanted to shout long live the mountain, so they went up to be called Hujia Tower. Later, it was slowly spread into Hujia Tower, and it still existed in the capital.

Chongzhen, who returned to the palace, immediately sent someone to pass on the cabinet ministers to see him.

When the ministers came to the imperial study room, Chongzhen was chewing a piece of sweet potato willfully. When the cabinet ministers arrived, Chongzhen hurriedly swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth, not caring about his image at all, pointed to the sweet potato, and spoke to the cabinet ministers: "You all love to taste it, so I will treat it as a treat to dinner."

No matter how all the ministers complained about Chongzhen's stinginess, they all thanked them and started eating in small sips.

Chongzhen was not in a hurry. It was not until all the ministers finished eating that Chongzhen said, "My dear friends, what about this thing?"

Since Wen Tiren was the chief assistant of the cabinet, he said first: "Your Majesty, this is a master who has seen it in the book. He only knows that it can be steamed or cooked. It is both a vegetable and a grain. I don't want to eat it when roasted, it is so delicious."

Other cabinet ministers also expressed their agreement, unanimously agreeing that sweet potatoes can be used as food or vegetables, which is simply a good seed of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen sneered in his heart. It was not that he had not investigated after returning to the palace. This thing had entered the Ming Dynasty as early as the Wanli period. It was just about interests, so no one promoted it vigorously.

Seeing the reaction of the ministers, Chongzhen said, "Since that's the case, I want to entrust Xu Guangqi to enter Beijing to preside over the promotion of this new grain, especially the places in Shanxi and Shaanxi, which is a top priority.

The CD harvest in Shanxi and Shaanxi has not been very good in recent years, and the land power is almost exhausted. It is better to try it by replacing these new grains.

In addition, the court should also be prepared. If the promotion of new grain is not effective or the collection is not enough, the relief should be prepared at that time. We cannot see refugees everywhere in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Otherwise, I have to learn from Cao Mengde to help the wisdom and use the heads of a certain important official to appease the people."

Under a naked threat, Chongzhen felt that these cabinet ministers

In fact, there are definitely not a few things like sweet potatoes that are both vegetables and food in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, corn and potatoes have entered the Ming Dynasty.

But these things have high yields and high yields, where can we exploit those mud legs? Besides, those who are used to eating rice cannot eat potatoes and sweet potatoes as food, right?

As for corn, it’s okay to drink it after making porridge, but it’s ground into noodles, but it doesn’t work, and steamed buns, but it’s not as good as steaming. It’s so sweet that it’s sweet when you first eat it, and it feels so rough that it’s hard to swallow.

Chongzhen did not think that eating too much of these things would be unpalatable. At present, no one in the Ming Dynasty knew better what would happen in the next few years than him.

Shanxi and Shaanxi have been drought for years. It is said that there is a lack of grain harvest. At that time, there was basically no grain harvest. There was even a tragedy among the people who changed their children and ate them.

As for the court, the gentlemen in the righteous court who made their own money, and they did not care whether the treasury was rich or not? Chongzhen asked about the law of treasury, which led to the later layoffs, which led to the courier Li rebellion in anger after he lost his job.

For people who even chew all the bark and grass roots, and who are so hungry that they even get food for children, it is unpalatable. If you eat a bite, you will save your life. Who cares if you are good or not?

Anyway, no matter what, these high-yield crops were not promoted in the Ming Dynasty, which has to be said to be a pity. Otherwise, as long as the people can eat, what can they do even in the Little Ice Age?
