After tasting the sweetness brought by going to sea, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were all green. The harvest of going to sea once was worth three years of tax revenue from the national treasury, but they could only stare at it.

This was not the day after the fleet returned, officials from the Ministry of Revenue submitted a memorandum, and the general idea was that the profits of going overseas were huge, so more arrangements should be made.

Jiang Chan laughed at this, of course, she also beat the memorandum of the Ministry of Revenue. They only saw the rich profits brought by going to sea, but did not see the hidden risks behind it.

Technology is not yet developed now, and people almost always hang their heads on their belts when they go overseas, which can be said to be extremely risky.

No matter how the officials of the Ministry of Revenue jumped around, Jiang Chan bit her to death and could only go out once a year, and everyone was not allowed to go out to sea without permission. Even if wealthy businessmen want to go out to sea, they must file with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and go through all procedures.

As Han Yao went to the north, the left prime minister almost disappeared in the court, and no one dared to sing a rebellion with Jiang Chan. Even if the Ministry of Revenue was jealous, he could only swallow his anger.

In the past, they were complacent because they had the money bags of the treasury, but when they thought of the piles of gold, silver and jewelry in the private treasury of the palace, they were all dissatisfied.

Jiang Chan doesn't go tolerate them. All the people from the Ministry of Revenue are arrogant. If you indulge them, they will be out of control.

The impact of going to sea gradually faded, and the promotion of crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops quietly began to be promoted near the capital.

Jiang Chan specially assigned the royal experimental field to several agricultural officials who went to sea. After obtaining these seeds, they wanted to sleep in the field at night.

"Empress, the Grand Marshal reported that today is the time to harvest sweet potatoes, please go to the field to take a look."

Jiang Chan put down the red pen and looked at Eunuch Xu: "Then let's go together, everyone will go over and see how the overseas crop yields are."

When Jiang Chan, Qingzhu Xu and others arrived at the field, the civil and military officials basically gathered together. They were also curious about how to say the overseas crop yields, and they mobilized many of them to bring back so many?

Seeing the empress dowager arrived, the Grand Marshal waved his hand, and the farmers waved their heads, and a piece of mud dumplings the size of a fist rolled out. Jiang Chan raised her eyebrows slightly. Sweet potatoes were indeed abundant, but the seeds in later generations have improved a lot. I don’t know how much sweet potatoes can produce per mu today.

However, as long as it exceeds 800, it is worth promoting nationwide, because it is not picky about the environment and is resistant to cold and barren. Although it cannot be used as a staple food, with these, everyone's life can be better.

Today, the main thing that started was a mu of sweet potatoes. As the sweet potatoes were more and more when they bowed their heads, the eyes of military generals such as An Guogong became brighter and brighter. Even the civil servants all breathed a little faster.

Originally, I just thought it was a random mess, but now I know that if it was promoted, the people would no longer be afraid of hunger.

With the help of the guards, within an hour, all the sweet potatoes on acre of land rose up. Looking at the sweet potatoes piled up into small hills, Jiang Chan took a deep breath: "Count the yield."

The Grand Minister was also very happy. Looking at these sweet potatoes are even more close than seeing their son, these are all real results.

When he heard that the yield per mu exceeded 150 stones, veterans such as Duke An Guoming laughed loudly. All the civil officials were dumbfounded, and their eyes were staring at these mud dumplings in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Chan frowned slightly: "If it is promoted, the water and soil in different places will be different, and the output will definitely be discounted."

The Grand Master Governor respectfully: "The land is that we always observe and take care of this experimental field planting, which has resulted in so much yield. But even if it is planted in the poorest land, I can guarantee that at least 50 stones per mu will be produced."

According to the records of the Han Dynasty, one stone is about twenty-seven kilograms now, and fifty kilograms are almost one thousand three hundred kilograms. This output is very high in modern times, but in ancient times, it was something that no one dared to think about.

At this time, the yield per mu of rice was only 500 kilograms. After everyone paid the tax, they left behind the seeds for the year, and there were very few left.

The common people eat the most land on weekdays and they are coarse grains, and fine grains are something they dare not even think about.

"Empress, this thing should be promoted nationwide. I suggest starting from relatively poor places such as the north." A minister leaned over and bowed to Jiang Chan, his tone solemn.

Jiang Chan raised her eyebrows: "As Mr. Chen said, we will first promote it from the northern counties. Since this matter was proposed by Mr. Chen, let me leave it to Mr. Chen to handle it."

"The Grand Secretary farmers should write down the precautions for sweet potato planting so that the government can promote it to the public." After walking around while bowing, Jiang Chan tried hard to take all aspects into consideration.

"Transfer some sweet potatoes to the imperial kitchen, let the imperial chef figure out how to cook sweet potatoes, and pass on these dishes together."

Jiang Chan had several ways to make sweet potatoes in her mind, but she couldn't explain why she was so good, so she could only make the imperial chef worry.

Lunch is naturally sweet potatoes, and the Imperial Kitchen is worthy of being the Imperial Kitchen. Although I have never seen such ingredients as sweet potatoes, I have also made several dishes.

In addition to roasting sweet potatoes and shredding sweet potatoes, we also made sweet potato cakes, sweet potato rice, etc., which smelled sweet.

When you think of sweet potatoes, it is full of treasures. Sweet potato leaves are also good vegetables. Sweet potatoes can be made into vermicelli, dried sweet potatoes, etc., and can be stored for a long time.

Jiang Chan rarely invites all officials. This is the first time since she ruled behind the curtain. Looking at the sweet potato dishes on the table, no one would raise objections. Just smelling this sweet fragrance, okay?

The two princesses Zhao Runbing and Zhao Runqing sat down under Jiang Chan's head. Jiang Chan did not deliberately restrain them. She would find someone to teach them whatever they wanted to learn.

Two years have passed, and the two have already lost their petty aura, become generous, and have good upbringing all over their bodies.

His eyes glanced at Zhao Runbing, as if the eldest princess was about to be sixteen years old, and it was time to consider her husband's choice. Since she had sat in this position, she had to take on what she should do.

Looking at Zhao Yi who was trying to straighten his calves, a smile appeared in Jiang Chan's eyes. Xiao Tuanzi was stern and tried to look like a little adult, which was indeed a bit funny.

The court was full of laughter, but the north was not so calm. Since Liu Cheng and Ye Yunluo headed to the north together, the journey was so difficult.
