Chapter 220 Harvest
I swear to let potato flowers bloom all over the Qing Dynasty!
Unexpectedly, when everyone was excited, Kangxi personally poured a bucket of cold water on them: Although the potato yield is high, this is the result of good land, good water, good fertilizer, and good care by the old farmers on the imperial farm.
If it is really implemented nationwide, there will definitely be a gap in yield if water and fertilizer management cannot keep up.
Some ministers said on the spot that there was no problem. After all, the base number was there, and even if it was reduced by half, there would still be more than 2,000 kilograms, so there was still a lot of room for improvement.
It is still worth promoting.
Kangxi also said that although potatoes and sweet potatoes have high yields, they contain a lot of water and are difficult to store.
To be on the safe side, you have to rotate and change crops.
This is to avoid sowing the same crop year after year, which would result in reduced yields and increased risk of disease, which would be counterproductive.
All the rules and regulations touched Yinzhen's heart and shocked him greatly: "I have never heard that Kangxi's father is particularly good at planting! How come he is so knowledgeable when it comes to field management?"
Kangxi:......
Oops.
I was only concerned with avoiding misunderstandings and reducing losses as much as possible, but ended up arousing suspicion because I "knew too much."
At critical moments, it still has to be the prince.
He went from being shocked to understanding, so naturally and calmly: "My son thought that Khan Ama was just talking about reading things like The Exploitation of the Works of Nature and The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration. After all, you are so busy that you wish you could work day and night. I didn't expect..."
The prince sighed deeply and began to speak in praise of the emperor. He also expressed his determination to learn from his father.
Directly turn on the involution mode.
The princes expressed their opinions one after another.
This made Yinzhen unable to think about anything else and he could only think about how not to fall too far behind.
The more he acted like this, the more Kangxi liked to call on him and ask him if he wanted to work hard with his brothers so that he could help his father share the worries in the future.
The question made Yin Xuan dumbfounded: "Son..."
"Of course, my son is willing to do his best to help you, Khan. But it's not that my son is not diligent. It's just that my son has to study physics and chemistry in addition to his classes every day. He really can't learn any more."
[If you are a father, you should lighten the burden on your son appropriately, but don’t add more burdens! I am still a child.]
Kangxi's purpose was to distract the children, but he didn't really want them to be all-rounders.
Hearing this, she smiled and rubbed his head: "Is that so! Then let your brothers work hard, and Xiao Shiba can take more rest. If you tire out your clever little brain, Khan Ama will be distressed."
Uh-huh-huh.
Yinxuan nodded obediently, his big eyes full of joy.
The Tenth Prince is so envious!
He followed suit, blinking his eyes and looking at his father with infinite expectation, hoping that Khan Ama would show mercy and not let the fat, pitiful and helpless boy suffer the hardship of studying.
As a result, his Khan Ama asked, "What's wrong? Is your eye cramped?" and the whole audience burst into laughter.
Isn’t Lao Shiduo the type of person who is unwilling to give up?
He immediately changed his tone to a more tactful and pleading one: "Ah, my son is not cut out for study, can you please…"
"cannot!"
The iron-blooded emperor was so cold, hard and direct that he killed the Tenth Prince's tentative spark cleanly and efficiently.
In order to prevent one prince from falling and many of them from standing up, Kangxi also directly stated that he would link the attitudes of the princes with their future titles.
Suddenly, the princes who had been resisting just now became serious and careful.
I wish I could carve the four words "I love learning" on my forehead.
Without it.
The little donkeys have been hung up on carrots for too long and are eager for the dust to settle soon.
Kangxi:......
well.
Knowing that you are all looking forward to it, I can safely delay it for a while longer.
A ready-made reason!
This is a serious matter and requires careful investigation and consideration.
Now the harvest is the big deal.
After potatoes and sweet potatoes, corn will be almost ready in a few days.
Kangxi once again led his civil and military officials to fight in the cornfield.
The corn stalks hit by frost have turned yellow, and the corn cobs that were originally straight towards the sky are now drooping.
After peeling off the husk, you can see the big yellow corn cob inside. With a twist, the foot-long cob is peeled off.
Dozens of them can fill a large basket.
It looks really fulfilling.
After Kangxi scooped up one basket, he wanted to scoop up a second basket.
If the Emperor is so obsessed, how dare the ministers below be impatient?
Even if they got their hands or faces scratched by corn leaves, they were still as happy as if it was Chinese New Year.
It demonstrates with real strength what it means that if the superiors like something, the subordinates will like it even more.
Yinzhen was amazed by what he saw, and secretly felt sorry for his father Kangxi, who was surrounded by these hypocritical adults.
Kangxi:......
In fact, he felt sorry for himself, being criticized by the little brat at every turn, and being powerless to resist. Even when he was angry to the point of having a stroke, the princes only advised him to think more positively, not to bother with the child, and to think more about his good points.
What's more, some people advised him to be more patient for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, he listed the various gratifying changes that occurred in the Qing Dynasty after the appearance of this auxiliary star.
For example, cowpox, potatoes, and the reuse of Dai Zi and Huang Luzhuang. Even the newly adopted Daqing surname of Tamra Island has a close relationship with him.
It cannot be said that there would be no Qing Dynasty without Xiao Shiba, but without Xiao Shiba there would be no Qing Dynasty today.
The little one is very important, you need to coax and pamper him more.
Kangxi was so angry that veins on his forehead bulged.
But when he thought about the potatoes and sweet potatoes that produced thousands of kilograms per mu, and the corn that produced 800 kilograms per mu, which was a treasure from head to toe and whose stems could be used as medicine, his resistance vanished.
I'm just coaxing my son, what's the big deal?
He could now be very happy and reward his beloved little son.
but……
Yinxuan frowned and said, "Khan Ama, have you forgotten? These potatoes and corns were all presented by my cousin Baotai! If you want to reward or praise, you should give it to him."
No, no.
Baotai waved his hands repeatedly. His family knew his own business. He and his uncle, the emperor, knew exactly where this golden idea came from.
He had already used an impersonator's name, so how could he claim his cousin's reward?
But Yinzhen didn’t know the trick!
He only saw that his cousin Baotai's hands were almost leaving afterimages, and thought he was going to show his style again. He quickly whispered: "Khan Ama's words are as good as gold. Once he has said it, there will be no change. Brother Baotai, don't say anything else, just accept the order and thank him."
"But……"
Yin Xuan frowned, "Brother Baotai, stop hesitating. Why are there so many buts? Didn't you use the Ming Dynasty as an example a few days ago, saying that they suffered the consequences for not taking what God had given them? Now it's your turn, why are you still hesitating like a woman?"
"It's rare that Khan Ama is so generous. You should not make the wrong decision. If you miss this opportunity, you will never find it again..."
