Sweet potato is a plant. Nowadays in China, whether you are a child in the city or a child in the countryside, almost everyone has seen this large-core red, sweet street food.

Especially after winter, in the streets and alleys of the city, you can see an old man or an aunt pushing a mobile roasted sweet potato box that emits white smoke and burns firewood.

The selling prices vary from high to low. Some sweet potatoes are sold according to their size, some are sold by weight, and some are extremely expensive and not sweet~~

But none of this matters!

The important thing is that Zhu Changluo is about to see this kind of sweet potato.

This primitive sweet potato has not yet been systematically cultivated and domesticated, and its size is not as large as that of later ones. Its yield is also not as good as the super sweet potatoes that were developed later and can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu.

But, this is hope!

With it, no matter how crazy the Little Ice Age was, there would not be tragic scenes of countless people starving to death.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo really has high hopes for the arrival of sweet potatoes that ordinary people cannot understand.

Of course, he does not want anyone to take advantage of the high yield of sweet potatoes and further exploit the people. If this happens again, what is the difference between Zhu Changluo and those people who are full of male thieves and female prostitutes?

Is it just for a so-called prosperous age on the surface?

This is not the result Zhu Changluo wants.

Therefore, he must make all preparations for the introduction of sweet potatoes, and cannot blindly rush to promote the benefits of sweet potatoes, otherwise he will not only fail to get things done, but also become an accomplice of the gang that oppresses and exploits the people!

Soon, a carriage driving on the cinder-paved dirt road in front of Xishan Imperial Village came over.

Zhu Changluo waited eagerly for the carriage to approach.

Chen Jinglun is here. Under the leadership of Xishan Trading Company, Chen Jinglun is finally going to see this secret sponsor.

Along the way, Chen Jinglun kept wondering who it was that actually knew the benefits of sweet potatoes, and the road was getting further and further north, which made Chen Jinglun inevitably feel uneasy.

After all, he has never been to a place this far north in his whole life. His activities have always been in Fujian and maritime Southeast Asia.

He was quite excited to be sent north this time by his father.

Finally, the Xishan Trading Company's carriage stopped.

Chen Jinglun opened the car curtain, and what came into his eyes was a tall and noble... child? Yes, it was a child. Chen Jinglun could see that although this person was not short, he was

His eyebrows did not open, and it was obvious that he was a child.

When Chen Jinglun was in a daze, the serving eunuch beside Zhu Changluo said: "When you see His Highness, why don't you kneel down and say hello?"

Chen Jinglun was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be His Highness? What kind of His Highness could he be?

Seeing Chen Jinglun in a daze, Zhu Changluo walked forward and grabbed Chen Jinglun's arm. Zhu Changluo said excitedly: "How is your journey, sir? Chang Luo has been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally he has come."

Chen Jinglun suddenly woke up at this moment. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, but was forced to hold him back by Zhu Changluo.

The main reason why Zhu Changluo was able to force Chen Jinglun to be an adult was because people there in this era were generally not tall. It was only after the dietary structure changed a few years later that their heights gradually became the same as those in the north.

Now they are about the same height, and in the past two or three years, Zhu Changluo's Xishan Palace has always had accidents with cows, so Zhu Changluo eats a lot of beef, and his strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary children. Moreover, he

I also practice the fitness techniques taught by Liu Wenzhen, so I still have a lot of strength.

Chen Jinglun said nervously: "I beg your pardon for the ordinary people who don't know His Majesty's authority."

Zhu Changluo pulled Chen Jinglun and said, "Mr. Chen, there is no need to be formal. It is Chang Luo and Meng Lang. I hope you will understand the rudeness."

Chen Jinglun said: "Common people don't dare."

Chen Jinglun never expected that a prince would be waiting for him!

Zhu Changluo took Chen Jinglun to Xishan Huangzhuang.

Seeing that Chen Jinglun was treated so favorably by Zhu Changluo, Wang An and others were envious. Therefore, they also looked at Chen Jinglun who had just arrived and did not dare to neglect him.

When they arrived at the Imperial Mansion, Zhu Changluo took Chen Jinglun and sat down.

Zhu Changluo asked Chen Jinglun: "Is there anything dissatisfied about Mr. Chen's journey north?"

Chen Jinglun was extremely cautious. After hearing Zhu Changluo's question, he quickly stood up and replied: "Your Highness has made thoughtful arrangements. The common people had a smooth journey and arrived in the capital without any hindrance."

Zhu Changluo said: "That's good."

So, Zhu Changluo began to change the topic to the main point. Zhu Changluo asked: "Mr. Chen, how is the sweet potato?"

Hearing Zhu Changluo talk about sweet potatoes, Chen Jinglun's heart couldn't help but jump with excitement.

Chen Jinglun said: "Thanks to His Highness's blessing, it will be no big deal for the sweet potato to travel north."

Zhu Changluo was overjoyed when he heard this.

Zhu Changluo was really worried that the bumpy road and more than a month's journey would damage the sweet potato. He didn't expect that after traveling thousands of miles, the sweet potato would still be safe and sound. This was all thanks to Chen Jinglun.

Zhu Changluo said: "Sweet potato is safe and sound. Chang Luo, on behalf of all the people in the world, would like to thank you, Mr. Chen and his son."

With that said, Zhu Changluo actually stood up and bowed to Chen Jinglun.

Chen Jinglun hid in panic, "Common people don't dare."

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. and his son deserve Chang Luo's respect. This sweet potato is a life-saving treasure! The husband and his son traveled across the ocean and risked beheading to bring this to the Ming Dynasty. Based on this achievement, the feat of the sir and his son is great."

It’s enough to be famous forever! To be admired by all generations!”

Chen Jinglun said: "This is all the result of His Highness. Without His Highness's support, my father and son would not have been able to achieve this feat."

Seeing Chen Jinglun shirk the credit so respectfully, Zhu Changluo laughed and said: "You and I should stop complimenting each other like this. The credit belongs to you, and I will remember it. I will definitely not miss you in the future."

Grace. After sir has rested, we will try to plant sweet potatoes in Xishan Huangzhuang. I can leave all this to sir."

When Chen Jinglun heard Zhu Changluo's promise of future grace, he was so excited that he couldn't contain his excitement. Although the Chen family has great wealth, they have not yet achieved great success. His father, Chen Zhenlong, was awarded the title of scholar before he was twenty, and he thought he would be able to achieve great success.

Furthermore, when it came to the provincial examination, he failed repeatedly, so he was forced to abandon Confucianism and join business, and went to the sea to make a living. Only then did he have the opportunity to see sweet potatoes on Luzon Island.

And his father also had high hopes for him since he was a child, and even named him "Jing Lun"!

The word "Jing Lun" refers to Chen Zhenlong's earnest hope that his son will become a successful child!

I hope that one day he will be able to gain fame and honor his ancestors!

But he was not the type to study, and after all these years, he had never gained any fame. He could only look forward to the imperial examination with dismay. In the end, he could only follow his father to figure out the way of merchants.

Therefore, fame has always been a difficult hurdle in the hearts of Chen and his son. Now that he has received Zhu Changluo's promise, Chen Jinglun is really overjoyed. His lifelong expectations finally have a chance to be fulfilled.
