    "Your Majesty, these are 500,000 people!"

    Chen Qi took a deep look at Liu Deng and then continued.

    "I know, 500,000 people! Zou Yang still has 8,000 elite soldiers, which can be transferred to you for use. They can go deep into the countryside and teach the people step by step how to plant, how to eat, and how to preserve!"

    Liu Deng frowned and said slowly.

    "But Your Majesty, do we have so much food in our hands now?"

    Chen Qi immediately realized that Liu Deng had misunderstood what he meant and asked in a low voice.

    "There are about five million stones piled up in the river valley. There is still a crop waiting to be harvested in this field. Although the yield should be affected a little, you also know the yield of this thing"

    "Five, five million stones!"

    "Cough-cough-cough-"

    Things in the Hutuo River Valley have always been directly responsible to Liu Deng, and even Chen Qi is not qualified to intervene.

    Therefore, Chen Qi had no idea how much was harvested and how much food was stored there.

    Now when Liu Deng said this, his eyes suddenly widened. Just as he was about to open his mouth to continue saying something, he choked on his own saliva.

    "My lord, are you telling the truth?"

    Chen Qi, who had always been gentle and gentle, couldn't care about anything else now. He grabbed the tea on the table in front of Liu Deng and took a big sip. After saving his life, he looked at Liu Deng with red eyes and asked.

    "When did I tell lies? By the way, you haven't eaten yet. You will stay here for a while and taste new food with me!"

    If you want to promote sweet potatoes on a large scale, the method of eating them must of course follow suit.

    "Otherwise, if the people cook and bake sweet potatoes every day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, no one can stand this change.

    "If the king says so, then Chen will have an eye-opener today!"

    Chen Qi has been worried about food these days.

    After hearing what Liu Deng said, he realized that he really had nothing to do and was in a hurry.

    Suddenly he finally understood why Liu Deng was able to return to Chang'an City for the wedding in peace and peace, and then ran directly to Buqi City after the wedding.

    ??And it continues to transport a large amount of food to Buqicheng.

    With these fucking millions of stones of food in hand, let alone running to Buqi City, even if Liu Deng lies in Chang'an City and enjoys happiness every day, the people under his rule will not be in chaos.

    "The king has so much food, and the transportation is really a problem. Is it possible to borrow some cavalry horses?"

    Chen Qi is worthy of being an internal historian. These matters are his old profession. He also saw the problem at a glance. The transportation of such a huge amount back and forth is indeed a big problem.

    Fortunately, the chaos of the Six Kingdoms is now over, and there are no worries in the Han Dynasty for the time being.

    As for Fujian, Guangdong, Nanyue, and Dongou, after Liu Deng really launches his plan, they probably won¡¯t even care about planting sweet potatoes.

    If everything goes well, within three or two years, these three countries will also fall apart.

    As long as sweet potatoes are strictly controlled and not spread into the hands of barbarians outside the region, Liu Deng doesn't care where they bloom in the Han Dynasty.

    "Don't think about the war horses that are in service. As for the inferior horses that have been eliminated, you can deploy some. If the transportation capacity is not enough, you can go to Cai Xin to discuss this matter. I think he should have some ideas!  "

    After the Six-Nation War, Liu Deng also captured a large number of iron weapons, although these weapons should have been eliminated long ago.

    But it is much better to recycle them than to make iron directly yourself.

    Therefore, as a result of this war, the weapon casting of the entire Dai country has made great progress.

    The military supervisors expanded again, and the soldiers in the entire generation of the country once again ushered in a large replacement.

    The scale of the Ordnance Supervision has become larger, and Cai Xin has become more free during this period. It is also time to find something new for him to do.

    "But we only have a few days, is it too late?"

    Chen Qi was still a little worried.

    "Then you are too underestimating our Mr. Cai. It's just a lack of transportation capacity. If you go to him, he will definitely solve it for you! Okay, put this matter aside and come with me to have a meal! Let's eat later  After finishing this meal, the two of us will sum up the sweet potatoes.How much should a pound be sold for?  "

    This is really a serious question, after all, this thing will be one of the main crops in the future.

    The price is too high, and the common people cannot tide over the difficulties now; the price is too cheap, and the low price of the grain hurts the farmers, which is not beautiful.

    In order to let Chen Qi have a deeper understanding of this thing, Liu Deng specially said hello to the kitchen today.

    There is a table full of dishes, all made from sweet potatoes.

    Sweet potato jelly, pork stewed vermicelli, ants climbing a tree, roasted sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato porridge, sweet potato pancakes, sweet potato noodles.

    Looking at the large table full of people, even Chen Qi was a little amazed.

    "How do you like it first?"

    Since he learned about the bumper harvest of this thing, Liu Deng began to think about how to eat it.

    Now is the right time for Chen Qi to try it out and see if it is a dark dish.

    "Is this all made of sweet potatoes?"

    Although the cooks in the palace still lacked enough heat to prepare this famous dish for later generations, Chen Qi's mouth was already full of oil.

    He could hardly believe that this thing was actually made of sweet potatoes.

    "After grinding the sweet potatoes into powder, wrap them in gauze, filter them layer by layer, and then precipitate them to get the sweet potato starch. The vermicelli and jelly you eat are all made of sweet potato starch!"

    "Compared to Chen Qi's gobbling way of eating, Liu Deng's way of eating is undoubtedly much more elegant. After all, the chef's skills are indeed a little bit less interesting.

    "Your Majesty, can the common people here also make this kind of flavor?"

    After tasting the food on the table one by one, Chen Qi was full of praise, but he was still worried about whether the common people could make such a thing.

    "Whether they can make this taste depends on their own craftsmanship, but when it comes to vermicelli and jelly, the method of making it is really simple, especially the jelly, which is most suitable for summer consumption!"

    "Beat it into jelly and put it in well water to chill. When you want to eat it, cut it into pieces, add some vinegar, garlic, spicy sesame sauce, and it's ready to go!"

    Although it is already October, it is still a little hot at noon.

    Chen Qi just took a taste and immediately fell in love with the taste of this thing.

    Almost half of the full plate went into his stomach.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
