Listening to Li Chen's introduction, Su Jinpa's eyes widened with shock and disbelief etched all over his face.

From Li Chen's introduction, she can get two pieces of information.

The first one is a crop called sweet potato, which can be used as a staple food.

Another is that its yield is ten to twenty times that of ordinary grain.

What is the concept

If true, it could alleviate the problem of food shortages that has plagued China for thousands of years to a great extent!

Throughout history, food has been the most important thing to the common people. If the people don't have enough to eat and are starving, they will rebel.

If everyone had enough to eat and wear, who would risk their head to rebel

Whoever can solve the food problem will be a saint in this world.

And if this person were the prince, under the support of imperial power and public opinion, who in the world could oppose him Dare to oppose him!

In a flash, Su Jinpa thought of many things.

Even someone as aloof and haughty as she couldn't help but feel a little breathless at this moment.

"Your Highness, are you truly serious"

Seeing Su Jinpan's anxious look, Li Chen burst into laughter and said, "Your Majesty has gone to such great lengths, it's certainly no child's play."

"Whether true or false, when spring comes next year and the seasons change from spring to summer, that is the time for things to be revealed."

After finishing his words, Li Chen addressed Liu Sida: "Liu Sida, I order you to lead experienced farmers from Zhejiang and Fujian to stay here all day long. Your only task is to take good care of these seedlings, helping them blossom and bear fruit. Keep detailed records of every problem encountered and the solutions during the entire cultivation, planting, and nurturing process. These solutions will serve as the foundation for the court to promote this crop nationwide in the future."

"On the day of harvest, this palace will not fail to reward you. But if something goes wrong during this process, you...will die."

"Rise to great heights or die, all within this tiny seedling. Can you hear me"

Liu Sidar, hearing this, felt his mind race. With a thump, he knelt before Li Chen. Mud splashed everywhere, but he didn't care. He declared loudly, "Your humble servant is willing to go through fire and water for your highness!"

After he finished speaking, Liu Sidar slammed his head into the mud.

"Very good."

Li Chen was extremely satisfied, “Li Ke Shou!”

Li Ke Shou immediately stepped forward and respectfully replied, "I am here."

"From today onwards, the most important task for the hunting ground is to cooperate with Liu Sida in planting these seedlings. Your mission is to serve them well. Provide them with everything they need on time and in full measure, without delay. If it exceeds your capabilities, you may go to the East Palace and ask for my decree."

In a nutshell, if these sweet potatoes thrive, you all will prosper together. If they fail, none of you will escape blame. This palace always rewards the deserving and punishes the guilty. You want what you desire I'll give it to you. All I want is a result. Have you understood

"We, your loyal subjects and commoners, obey the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Leaving the greenhouse, Li Chen looked out at the busy fields in the distance and said to Su Jinpa beside him: "If the sweet potato experimental field is successfully planted and promoted in the future, it will still take some effort."

People often need a process to accept new things.

Within a limited scope, Li Chen can leverage his power to forcibly expedite things at the fastest pace possible.

But if this scope were to extend to the whole world, and people didn't see the benefits beforehand, they wouldn't be willing to spend a year cultivating a completely new crop they had never encountered before.

Li Chen knew this very well, so he didn't hold out too much optimism.

On the contrary, Su Jinpa didn't think too much about it. She was still immersed in the wonder of sweet potatoes and exclaimed with admiration, "Your Highness, this is a great achievement!"

"Achievements"

Li Chen chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "For other matters, this palace might be able to strategize, but for this matter, there is no calculation whatsoever."ompletely torn their faces apart, making the scene very unpleasant.So now, hearing Li Yinhu's name from Li Chen's mouth, Li Canglan felt as if dozens of steel knives were placed on his neck, making it...
