The warm breeze blew on the clothes of Zhan Xingchang and Xiao Ming. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After inspecting the Qingzhou Gongxiao, Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang went to the county seat outside Qingzhou City to check the construction of other Gongxiao, and it was about to be time to enroll, and he didn't want to delay for another year.

After confirming that the public school basically met the conditions for the students to go to school, he asked the states and counties to start preparations for the opening of the school.

At the same time, another year of farming season is coming again.

"Your Highness, last winter's propaganda was very successful, and in the spring of this year, many people came to the government to inquire about planting potatoes, and now I just don't know if this potato seedling is enough."

Farming is about to start, this is the most exciting Pang Yukun, these days he gets up early and is greedy for darkness, every day he will go down to Qingzhou to visit the people, ask about the time of farming.

In his opinion, nothing is more important than farming.

"It's definitely not enough, these seedlings are estimated to be only enough for the people of Qingzhou to buy, I'm afraid there is no way in other states and counties for the time being, not enough for this king to find a way, if this year's harvest is good, next year this king will also establish breeding bases in other states." Xiao Ming said.

For his fiefdom, potatoes could be planted in two seasons a year, the first in March and April, harvested in June and July, the second in August and September, and harvested in November and December.

Now this season is the time to plant spring potatoes, since last year, Xiao Ming has asked Kui Wu to cultivate potato seedlings, but because of the small base, there are still not many potato seedlings now.

Pang Yukun showed a look of regret, and he said; "It's a pity, if such a high-yield potato can be planted in the entire fiefdom, the people will be rich."

"We can't be too greedy, even if the people of Qingzhou can all plant potatoes, the number after harvest is considerable, besides, these potatoes in the hands of Kuiwu are carefully cared for to be so high-yielding, in the hands of the people is not necessarily, it is good to be able to get three or four times the yield."

"Three times or four times is not bad." Pang Yukun was very satisfied this time, and then he asked, "Your Highness, what should I do with this corn and pepper?" ”

"This will not be handed over to the people for the time being, first satisfy our slave plantations, and then spread the word to the people, if they want to plant, we will give them seeds, and if they don't want to plant, just plant." Xiao Ming said lightly.

Pang Yukun nodded, the yield of corn and peppers is not very high, and it is indeed not enough for the slave estate.

After a pause, he remembered something again, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, didn't you say that there is another crop with a higher yield than potatoes?" When will we be able to grow this crop? ”

Mentioning this Xiao Ming is a bitter tear, the last time Yue Yun risked his life to go to sea, the only regret was that he was not able to bring back the sweet potatoes.

This sweet potato is a more productive and preserved crop than potatoes.

When Xiao Ming was a child, he often ate sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes that he couldn't eat at home would be sliced and dried into dried sweet potatoes, which could be stored for a long time.

And sweet potatoes can also be made into vermicelli, hot and sour noodles and the like, which is very refreshing.

"This won't be too far, this king has already told the Dutch to let them traffic a batch of sweet potatoes to Dengzhou, and it seems that the days are coming soon." Xiao Ming said.

Sweet potatoes, like potatoes, are also native to the Americas, which is not at all new to the Western powers, which have completed the colonial division of the Americas.

So when Xiao Ming offered Claire to buy sweet potatoes, he gladly accepted, because in his opinion, it was a good start to trade with Dengzhou.

Pang Yukun became more and more excited, and he said: "Since this is the case, Xiaguan is waiting for the good news of His Highness." ”

After that, Pang Yukun and a group of officials once again prepared to go to the countryside to supervise agricultural production.

At this time, Xiao Ming's thoughts flew to Ryukyu, and after more than a month of training, he thought that Yue Yun might be able to officially take the fleet to the sea to receive the main island of Ryukyu.

While he was thinking, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the palace, and then a scout entered the palace.

"Your Highness, Dengshu has come to report that the main island of Ryukyu has been captured by the Japanese and the castle of Michira has been lost." The scout snapped.

Xiao Ming frowned when he heard this, it was really a wave of unsettled waves, he thought that Ryukyu could receive it smoothly, but he didn't expect that something went wrong.

"How did Yang Chengye get this news?" Xiao Ming said sharply.

The scout said: "Back to Your Highness, it was the news brought by the Dutchman Rod, most of the Dutch are mercenaries of the Japanese Kingdom, and now these mercenaries have all betrayed the Dutch, Rhodes said that if it were not for the Dutch fleet stationed in the city of Geranza, the city of Geranza would also be lost now, and now the Dutch ask His Highness to send troops to aid them."

"It seems to be getting interesting." Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.

The timing of the betrayal of this group of Japanese invaders is too coincidental, and there is only one explanation, that is, the Japanese were dissatisfied with the alliance between the Dutch and Xiao Ming, so they took control of the main island of Ryukyu in advance and took it for themselves.

In his opinion, the current Japanese are very confident, they think that they can easily defeat the Great Yu Kingdom, otherwise they would not have any plans to attack the Great Chongqing Kingdom through Goryeo.

This spirit is more confident than arrogant.

After pondering for a while, he said to the scout: "You go back and tell Yue Yun to stay still for the time being, wait for reinforcements from Qingzhou, and let Rhodes wait for a few days." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The scout answered, and turned to leave.

After the scout left, Xiao Ming thought about it carefully, he wouldn't easily trust anyone's words now after being in a high position for so long, especially this fragile alliance.

He was still unsure that the occupation of the main island of Ryukyu was a conspiracy of the Dutch and was a plan of the Japanese state, and if the two cooperated with each other to design a trap for him, he was afraid that a rash rescue would cause him heavy losses.

So in order to determine the matter, he had to investigate.

Thinking of this, he sent someone to call Wang Xuan, and now the secret guards are already monitoring the city of Geranza, and he knows best what clues there are.

After a while, Wang Xuan rushed to the Governor's Mansion, and he didn't seem to know anything about the occupation of the main island of Ryukyu by the Japanese invaders, "Your Highness, the lower officials have not received any news about Ryukyu for the time being, but the news from the Ryukyu side is spreading very slowly, and it may take a few days to get results." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, "Once there is news, it will immediately spread to Dengzhou." ”

"Your Highness, are you going to Dengzhou?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Well, whether it is the plan of the Japanese kingdom or the conspiracy of the Dutch, a war seems to be inevitable, and now that the barbarians are ready to move, there can be no mistake in this sea route." Xiao Ming said worriedly.

After that, he set off for the Qingzhou camp, and this time he had to show his claws.
