Yuxi instructed Bai's mother to cook a few potatoes to taste. It was the first time for Mother Bai to see artichokes, and looking at these artichokes, she asked very curiously, "Madam, what is this?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't know, you cook a few to try first." "Since Wan and Chen Mian have already eaten, there will definitely be no problem.

At noon, Yun Qing walked to the table and sat down, saw a few fruits in one of the white porcelain plates, and asked, "Where did you get this fruit, I haven't seen it before?"

Yuxi has already tried it with a silver needle, and none of these potatoes are poisonous. After listening to Yunqing's words, he immediately smiled and said, "You taste it and see if it's delicious?"

Yun Qing smiled and said, "What is it? so mysterious?" After speaking, he took a potato and peeled it, and took a bite.

After taking a bite, Yun Qing's brows furrowed, but Yun Qing was not a wasteful person, although it was not delicious, he still ate the whole artichoke. After eating, he asked, "What is this?" This thing tastes powdery, and there is an astringency after eating, and this thing tastes really bad.

Yuxi smiled and also took a potato from the plate, took a bite and said, "This is called an artichoke, and it is a gift from Chen Mian's sister-in-law to them." Mrs. Chen said that this thing was imported from outside the Tibetan region and was a new thing. "As for saying that this thing has been planted in Fujian, there is no need to tell Yunqing. If you say that, Yunqing will not be interested.

Yun Qing said, "Give this thing as a gift?"

Yuxi smiled, didn't answer Yunqing's words, but lowered his head and slowly ate the artichoke on hand. After eating, Yuxi's feeling was completely different from Yunqing's: "This thing, I only need to eat three, and I can eat enough." "This thing is very good at filling hunger, and hunger food is the most lacking thing in the northwest, but I don't know what the growing conditions of this artichoke are.

Yun Qing didn't understand the meaning of Yuxi's words at all, and said, "Don't eat it, this thing doesn't taste very good." "After eating the first one, I don't want to eat the second one.

Yuxi smiled and said, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat it!"

In the afternoon, Yuxi called Tian Yang and showed Tian Yang the artichoke. Then he said, "You get ready, and you will go to Mr. Chen's hometown in Fujian in two days." When you get there, first learn about the growing conditions of this artichoke, see if it can be planted in the northwest, and also, how much does this thing yield per mu? If it meets the planting conditions in the northwest and the yield is high, buy more and bring it back, and invite some people who are good at planting this thing to come back. ”

Tian Yang looked at more than a dozen artichokes and said, "Madam, how long can this thing be kept? Will it break down on the road?"

Yuxi didn't know how long this artichoke could be kept, and said: "This thing is very common in Mr. Chen's hometown, just like wheat in the northwest, and it is easy to find." ”

When Tian Yang heard this, he said, "Madam, for the sake of safety, I still want to draw this thing!"

Yuxi smiled and said, "Cheng, I'll draw one when the time comes." In addition to this artichoke, you can also bring back some good and cheap seafood. "Fujian is close to the sea, and there is still a lot of seafood.

In the evening, Mr. Chen returned to his accommodation. As soon as he got home, Mr. Chen asked Wan, "Did you send the potatoes to Mrs.?"

Wan nodded and said, "It's been sent over." Husband, why do you have to give this artichoke to Madame?" she was a little puzzled.

Mr. Chen said: "This thing can play a huge role when it is used well. "Mr. Chen also ate this artichoke and found that this thing is very satisfying. And as far as his sister-in-law's door-picking temperament is concerned, being able to give this artichoke gift in return is enough to prove that this thing is not valuable. If you think about it deeply, this thing is not worth much, and the yield must not be low. If things that can satisfy hunger and produce not low yields can be spread in the northwest, the food ration problem in the northwest will be alleviated. Once the food problem was resolved, the Northwest Army would no longer have to be restrained by the imperial court. As Yunqing's confidant, although Yunqing didn't say a lot of things, Mr. Chen could still feel that Yunqing would not be willing to be trapped in Yucheng. Mr. Chen has no objection to this. In troubled times, as long as you have the ability, it is not a bad thing to have ambition.

Wan Shi looked puzzled.

Mr. Chen did not explain to Wan, and these things were not clear, and there was no need to say them. Mr. Chan said, "Madame will know what it does." "If it was for the general, I wouldn't think much about it. But Mrs. is different, seeing the artichoke they sent, and listening to his wife's words, she will definitely think of going with him. As for why Mr. Chen didn't speak directly to Yuxi, it was because he wasn't sure enough about it. And I don't know much about the specific situation of the artichoke, so I didn't take the initiative to bring it up, so I could only use this obscure method to remind Yuxi. This is also a common problem of readers, who are reluctant to pick out what they say before they are sure enough.

Two days later, Mr. Chen heard that Tian Yang had left Yucheng and gone to other places. As for where he went, Mr. Chen didn't find out. However, thinking about the delivery of potatoes two days ago, Mr. Chen guessed that Tian Yang should have gone to Fujian.

Mr. Chen said to himself, "I hope for a qiēshun lì." "If it is really as he speculated, this artichoke can spread in the northwest, it will really be a great thing for the benefit of the people.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yunqing spent most of his time in the barracks. This will be the time for him to prepare for the autumn war, and for a possible rebellion.

It was also at this time that the news that Uncle Song was safe and sound also spread back to the capital. This is the best news for the emperor: "Uncle is fine." ”

King Jing said: "Let's let my uncle come back early!" During this time, he was under a lot of pressure, and he felt like he was going to have gray hair.

The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't worry. "Uncle went to Liaodong this time to catch Yan Wushuang. If Yan Wushuang is not caught, his uncle will not come back for the time being.

King Jing is not stupid, as soon as he listens to the words, he knows that Uncle Song Guo has a special errand to go to Liaodong. It's just that what kind of errand it is, he doesn't have such a strong competitive spirit to ask. King Jing told the emperor one thing: "Your Majesty, Ji Xuan said that he had exterminated more than 4,000 bandits, and as far as I checked, those 4,000 people were not bandits at all, they were all ordinary people. "Ji Xuan is killing good and risking his work, and the impact is extremely bad. If this news spreads, there may be riots in the northwest.

The Emperor slapped the table and asked, "Is this true?"

King Jing didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, but said: "It's better to send Qin to investigate this matter." "He got the news, but Ji Xuan is a feudal official, and he can't be convicted by just one news. If you want to punish Ji Xuan's guilt, the evidence must be conclusive to be able to convince the public.

Hearing that the emperor had sent a thorough investigation, the emperor was rarely silent, and after a while, he said, "Let this matter go for the time being. "The top priority is to exterminate Yan Wushuang. The affairs of the northwest can be put aside for the time being. Wait for the matter of Liaodong to be resolved, and then solve the matter of the northwest. Otherwise, moving Ji Xuan now is tantamount to giving Yu Xiang a chance to expand his power.

Han Jianming also received a letter from Yuxi at this time, knowing that Ji Xuan killed civilians and acted as bandits to receive merit. Han Jianming couldn't help but shake his head, he dared to do anything, so he was not afraid that this matter would cause a big disaster.

His eyes fell on the letter again, and he said to himself: "The great calamity is coming soon. "Ji Xuan indiscriminately kills civilians and acts as bandits, this is tightly covered, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten no news at all. Yuxi can get the news, which proves that she is paying attention to the movements of Ji Xuan in the northwest. At this point, Han Jianming is completely sure of his previous speculation. Yuxi's goal is the entire northwest.

Mr. Zhao didn't quite understand and asked, "Grandpa Guo, what kind of catastrophe is coming." ”

Han Jianming didn't hide it from Mr. Zhao, and said what Yuxi wrote in the letter: "Once this matter spreads, it will definitely cause a big disaster." "How could Yuxi give up such a good opportunity, she would definitely spread the news.

Mr. Zhao said: "Although it has not spread now, paper can't contain the fire, and it won't take long for this matter to spread." "Chen Yu, the prince of Taining, is Ji Xuan's number one enemy, if he knew about this, he would definitely exaggerate this matter.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "Take a look!"

Mr. Zhao said: "Grandpa Guo, Liaodong has been very calm recently!" Uncle Song Guo came back from the dead, this kind of thing is strange enough. originally thought that Uncle Song Guo would go on a killing spree, but he didn't say anything at all.

Han Jianming said: "Yan Wushuang, it's not so easy to kill. "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Yan Wushuang has been operating in Liaodong for more than ten years, but it is not that Uncle Song Guo can eradicate it if he wants to. Han Jianming hoped that Uncle Song Guo and Yan Wushuang would both lose, and only in this way would the water be even more muddy.

"I always feel like it's calm before the storm," Mr. Zhao said. "Next, there will be even bigger storms.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "The storm is the storm!" The world is already in chaos, and what is maintained now is only the peace on the surface.

As expected by Han Jianming and Mr. Zhao, Ji Xuan's killing of civilians and pretending to be bandits to ask for merit was spread by people with good intentions, and it soon spread to every place in the northwest.

Ji Xuan was admiring the graceful dancing of the dancing girl and enjoying the delicious wine and food. His subordinates quickly ran in and shouted at Ji Xuan: "Lord Governor, it's not good, someone in Nanzhou is rebelling." "I can't hide it even if I want to, so it's okay to shout it out loud.

The sound was so loud that all the people present were shocked. Ji Xuan didn't have time to drink anymore and asked, "What's the matter?"

The visitor said with a sad face: "Someone is spreading rumors outside, saying that the 4,000 bandits killed in Nanzhou before are not real bandits, but killed more than 4,000 ordinary people and pretended. After this rumor came out, some people turned it back. As for whether this is true or not, the people who come know it in their hearts. But it's one thing to know about this kind of thing, and it's another thing to say it.

Ji Xuan threw down the wine glass and immediately dispatched an army of 30,000 to quell the rebellion. In Ji Xuan's mind, these rebels were all rabble, and an army of 30,000 was enough to kill them in seconds.
