    Looking at several people confidently, Yang Lian had a smile on his face, but Sun Chengzong on the side knew something.  . He reached out and took the thing that Yang Lian handed over, and put it in his mouth without thinking.  After taking a few mouthfuls, Sun Chengzong looked at the aftertaste on his face and said to Yang Lian on the side: "Master Yang, you really hide it! You have been in Liaodong for so long and you didn't even say that you were doing this. If it really happened,  You are my hero of the Ming Dynasty, much better than me!" Several people were stunned. What did you say? Sun Chengzong's achievements are unmatched, how could he say such a thing?  Could it be that this dark thing is really a treasure?  Several people quickly put things in their mouths and took a few bites.  After giving a salute to Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian looked a little ashamed and said, "Your Excellency, you are ridiculous. How could Yang Lian have such ability? This was all secretly arranged by the emperor. When Xiaguan took office in Liaodong,  The emperor has already explained it! I wonder if your Excellency still remembers the foreigner named Aifeisi?" Sun Chengzong was slightly stunned and nodded seriously. He naturally remembered this matter.  When he first arrived in Liaodong, Emperor Tianqi sent people to bring the Hongyi cannon, and there were also a few foreigners who came with him to teach artillery shooting.  When Yang Lian came to Liaodong, he also brought a foreigner with him, this one named Ephesus.  But Sun Chengzong didn't know what he was doing. Could it be related to this matter?  The emperor is so far-sighted!  Nodding, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Of course this old man remembers it. The emperor seems to have asked him to do something, and he promised to give him five hundred taels of gold after the task was completed. Could it be that these are all the credit of this foreigner?" Laughing  Yang Lian shook his head and said with a look of reverence: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, I can't wait any longer. When Xiaguan left the capital, the Emperor personally summoned him and gave him a pamphlet, that is, cultivated  Way! But the emperor is not worried. This Ephesus has experience in this area, so the emperor sent this person over!" Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh in his eyes. Emperor Tianqi is really wise and wise.  , Unparalleled!  Looking at Yang Lian with joy on his face, Sun Chengzong said: "How is it? It can already be planted in Liaodong?" Unable to hide the excitement on his face, Yang Lian nodded excitedly and said: "Sir, it can already be planted in Liaodong."  It¡¯s been planted in Liaodong! In the spring of next year, the Yamen will distribute the seedlings to the people, and they will be harvested in July and August!¡± ¡°Sir, what is this?¡± He wiped his mouth and put the black skin aside.  Xiong Tingbi looked at the two excited people and asked in a deep voice.  At this time, several people present could vaguely guess, but they couldn't believe it. When Xiong Tingbi spoke, they all looked at Yang Lian and Sun Chengzong.  Sun Chengzong and Yang Lian looked at each other and laughed at the same time, with joy on their faces.  Turning his gaze to Elu Xiangsheng to the side, Sun Chengzong asked in a brisk tone: "Jiandou, do you know what this is?" "Hui teacher, the student knows. This thing is called sweet potato, and the student has eaten it before. It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica:  Sweet potato can replenish deficiency, strengthen the spleen and appetite, and strengthen kidney yin. The students have eaten it at home. It seems to be not cheap, and it seems to be just a medicinal herb. I wonder what Mr. Yang means by asking us to eat this?" Lu Xiangsheng saluted respectfully.  With some confusion on his face, he looked at Yang Lian aside.  Looking at Lu Xiangsheng from top to bottom, Yang Lian turned to Sun Chengzong and said: "What a formidable young man! He is worthy of being ranked second in this year's list. He is well-informed. Your Excellency has accepted a good disciple. After Zhongliang, he is capable of both literary and military skills. It is really rare."  Ah!" Yang Lian did not hesitate to praise Lu Xiangsheng!  Sun Chengzong nodded, without saying anything modest, and smiled and said to Yang Lian: "Master Yang, tell me! Stop hiding it!" "Yes, sir! But before talking about this sweet potato, I have to tell you.  Apologize. This matter should have been made known to you, but I hid it from you out of caution. I hope you won't be offended!" Yang Lian looked at Sun Chengzong in embarrassment, his face burning.  Smiling and waving his hand, Sun Chengzong didn't care at all, and said: "If you don't keep the secret, you will lose your ministers, if you don't keep the minister secret, you will lose yourself. If you keep a few things secret, it will be harmful. The emperor will entrust such an important matter to Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang will naturally  Be cautious first. I am not an unreasonable person, Master Yang, you don¡¯t have to be like this!¡±  "Sweet potato was introduced to the Ming Dynasty in the 15th year of Wanli. It first appeared in Fujian and was widely spread. However, because of its complicated cultivation, many people regarded it as a medicinal material." Yang Lian looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile on his face.  The smile and the admiration in the eyes!  Picking up the sweet potato on one side, Yang Lian continued: "But sweet potato is actually a kind of food.??We grow similar rice, but we don¡¯t have it in Ming Dynasty.  In other countries, people planted it for food.  Due to various reasons, the spread of sweet potatoes was relatively slow, but the emperor discovered the benefits of this thing and took it to Liaodong for trial planting.  " Mr. Yang, as far as I know, growing sweet potatoes is very complicated, and the yield is not necessarily higher than that of corn."  "Lu Xiangsheng frowned and looked at Yang Lian with a bit of suspicion on his face. "Jiandou said it makes sense. If this was really the case, the emperor would not have such an idea, and how could I waste such time.  Jiandou should know that one acre of fertile land can only produce five shi of corn if the weather is good and the weather is good!  " Yang Lian looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile. This young man is really good. He has a unique vision and sees problems accurately. He will become a great person with a little practice. " He nodded slowly. Lu Xiangsheng naturally knows this. He can produce five things.  Shimi, this is something that has made many farmers happy. Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng agreed with his opinion, Yang Lian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "But sweet potatoes are different from corn. You can get fifteen shi from sweet potatoes per acre of land."  , more than three times that of corn!  However, sweet potatoes cannot replace corn, but sweet potatoes can be grown anywhere, and it does not have to be fertile land.  If corn is planted in the fertile fields and sweet potatoes are planted in the remaining fields, the people's livelihood will be worry-free for a year.  " Yang Lian looked at him dumbfounded. Not only was Lu Xiangsheng restrained, but Sun Chengzong and others on the side were also restrained! Fifteen dan of sweet potatoes can be obtained per acre, which is really unbelievable! "Mr. Yang, take this seriously.  ?  "Although he knew that Yang Lian could not lie to him, Sun Chengzong still asked hesitantly, and his body was trembling. Although he knew the benefits of sweet potatoes, he did not expect that he could harvest so much. If it is true as Yang Lian said, then  There is no need to worry about food in Liaodong! Looking at Sun Chengzong and others, Yang Lian did not speak, but nodded slightly with an excited smile on his face. "My lords, why are you so happy about something good?  Can you talk to our family?  "At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open, and Chen Hong stood at the door with his whisk in his arms, with a smile on his face. After bowing to each other, Yang Lian told Chen Hong about the sweet potato. By this time, it was already  No need to hide it anymore! "This is sweet potato. We have heard from the emperor several times. Let us try it!"  "Chen Hong's face was also full of surprise, and he smiled and said to Yang Lian. "The sweet potato matter is a big deal. This matter must be reported to the court immediately to make the emperor happy!  In addition, we have to arrange trial planting matters, and the emperor still needs to make the final decision!  Sun Chengzong looked at Chen Hong and others with a smile and said in a brisk tone. Several people all nodded in agreement. Except for Chen Hong, they all signed the memorial. As a member of the palace, Chen Hong would naturally not talk to them.  We need to submit a memorial together, but we need to submit a secret memorial! In Yanjing City, Emperor Tianqi stared at the paper in front of him, thinking hard about what he was thinking about, and wrote a few words on it from time to time.  "Wang Chengen came to Emperor Tianqi and said in a respectful tone. He raised his head and rubbed his swollen forehead. Emperor Tianqi stretched and said, "Have someone take him to the pavilion. I want him to  Go out and get some air!  "As he spoke, he stood up and walked down, with a bit of fatigue on his face. After just a few steps out, Emperor Tianqi turned back to Wang Chengen and said: "Burn the paper on the table, don't let anyone see it!  "After that, he walked out of the hall. Wang Chengen walked to the table, reached out and picked up a few pieces of paper. He didn't dare to look at it, but he still saw the handwriting on the first piece of paper after scanning it accidentally.  I saw a few words written crookedly on it: One whip = sharing the whole family! What does this mean? I don¡¯t know, but Wang Chengen knows about the one whip. Could it be that the emperor didn¡¯t dare to ask for it?  After thinking about it, he came to the edge of the brazier and lit a few pieces of paper until the flames went out. Wang Chengen poured the ashes into the basin before turning around and leaving. Emperor Tianqi looked at the pavilion in front of him.  Luo Sigong nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, Aiqing's body seems to be recovering well, I'm relieved!  " "Thank you very much for your majesty's concern. I will never die in retribution for even one of you!"  Luo Sigong knelt on the ground and said respectfully. Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Luo Aiqing, what do you want to do with your visit this time?"  " "Back to the emperor, it's about capturing Huang Taiji. I don't know whether to say something or not!  " Luo Sigong didn't stand up either. He knelt there and said with a serious face. Emperor Tianqi was stunned for a moment, straightened his expression, nodded, and said, "If you have anything to say, Aiqing, just say it!  I won't blame you.  " "Chen Jue's emperor seems too?I care about this Huang Taiji. The son of Nurhachi who established the slaves highly recommends it. This is just one of them.  I think it¡¯s inappropriate for the emperor to mobilize a large number of troops to hunt down Huang Taiji!  "Although Luo Sigong had hesitation on his face, after he said it, his face looked calm!
