Chapter 205
After Yang Tianci tried the sweet potatoes and corn, he was in a good mood. The next step was to promote these crops and let the people grow some.Then spread the food recipes to improve people's lives.

Here in the capital, Yang Tianci's order from the emperor can still be advanced very quickly.Not only to persuade the people, but also to promote it by force, it is all possible.

But it's different here in Xihe City. I haven't heard of these things yet. Although Li Ru tried his best to promote them, he also said that there is no tax for planting these things.However, the common people do not know the yield or whether they can eat these unfamiliar crops, so they still maintain a certain resistance.

Ordinary people still hope to have more food so that they can have enough to eat after paying taxes. Of course, the more, the better.Now, how can a quarter of the field be used to grow these unknown things?Although Li Ru still has some weight in the hearts of the people, after all, this is a major matter related to eating, and the people have to be cautious.

Li Ru is also hindered now. Many people are not willing to grow sweet potatoes at all. As for corn, it is also promoted.The promotion of corn is much more convenient. After all, it is also convenient to grow. It does not require too much space and management. It is not bad as a complementary food.

It's just that if sweet potatoes need fields to grow, this is unacceptable to the common people.

Li Ru was a little frustrated, but he was not discouraged. Although Li Ru had never seen the yields of these three crops, he still believed in the high yields of sweet potatoes and corn that Yang Yichuan said.

Li Ru found Yang Yichuan's mansion again this day. He didn't say he was complaining, but he came here to report the situation a little bit, and by the way, he discussed with Yang Yichuan how to promote these crops.

"Your Highness, the promotion of this sweet potato has been hindered a lot. Although I strongly recommend it, the common people don't believe it. They would rather grow familiar rice and wheat than this unknown thing."

Yang Yichuan immediately asked, "Are there many people who refuse?"

"There are a lot of corn. It's okay to say that it doesn't take up arable land, but [-]% of the arable land. I really can't think of any good way to let the people voluntarily grow this sweet potato and potato."

Li Ru drank a cup of tea, his face remained sad, "Are you really going to force the people to plant it? If it is really planted, it's okay, if there is a little problem, then the people will have no trust in the government at all. "

"Let's go and tell these people that the two and a half percent of the potatoes or sweet potatoes used for planting will not be taxed. They also said that my prince's government will purchase them at a high price. For example, if they grow wheat on [-] percent of their fields, the total amount will be Whatever price it can be sold for, I will buy it at a price that is [-]% higher. In this case, people will have someone to plant it."

"At that time, I will publicize how to eat sweet potatoes and how to store them. After people learn about them, they can sell some of them or keep some of them for eating."

After listening to Yang Yichuan's idea, Li Ru immediately understood the key points and lured him to his advantage.If this quarter of the land is used to grow rice and wheat, this part will also have to be taxed. If converted into money, it will only be that much.But if you grow these so-called sweet potatoes, you don’t have to pay taxes and you can get all the money.And the money you get from this will be [-]% more than growing food. This tax exemption, and the extra money you get from selling it, is enough to make the people excited.

"What a great idea, Your Highness, I will use newspapers and other methods to tell these people. The people will definitely be tempted to plant these sweet potatoes. This will achieve the promotion effect."

"Yes, Mr. Li, if the [-]% profit is not enough, then [-]%, this is the highest price I can offer. Also, we cannot let the people grow these sweet potatoes, we must ensure the cultivation of food, but We can’t let the common people grow these sweet potatoes.”

Li Ru then understood Yang Yichuan's intention. After all, these crops were only supplementary food, and the rice grown from wheat and rice was the staple food.

"Yes, Your Highness, I was almost negligent. If the common people feel that it is profitable, they will all plant this, and there will inevitably be a shortage of food. Negligence, almost made a big mistake."

"What's wrong with this? We just need to guide the people correctly. Rice is still the most important."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go down and guide the people to plant this sweet potato. By the way, I ask them not to plant too much. At most [-]% of the area, if it is less, it will be [-]%."

"Well, you go ahead and do it now, Mr. Li should send someone to do it."

Li Ru also took a final sip of tea, "This is a big deal. I won't worry if I don't make a few trips in person. Okay, Your Highness, I'll go right away. I think I'll get good news in a few days."

"Ah."

And the capital is also promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.Compared with the obstacles on the Xihe City side, the Beijing side is much smoother.It's just that according to some books left by Yang Yichuan before, it is said that it is not suitable for mass planting.The planting of rice cannot be delayed because of the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Yang Tianci also looked at the books left by Yang Yichuan, which recorded a variety of eating methods, and there are many things that need to be noticed.

"The planting area should not be too much. As a supplementary food, the output of staple food should not be reduced too much. Yichuan's thinking is still very thorough. It seems that there is something wrong with the previous promotion, and we have to start again."

"There is also this potato. If it germinates, it will be poisonous, so it is not suitable for consumption. But it can be used for planting. This is very important. When the time comes, we must use newspapers to publicize it. What if something goes wrong."

"There are also sweet potatoes. Although they can be eaten raw, there are still some minor problems. It seems that we need to pay attention to them."

Looking at the contents of this book, Yang Tianci also learned about these three crops, some characteristics, and some things that need attention.

"It seems we have to talk about this matter again tomorrow."

Yang Tianci also looked back leisurely and looked at the book. Yang Tianci also recognized the beautiful handwriting. It was definitely not Yang Yichuan's, so it could only be Liuli's handwriting.

"Ichikawa, I have learned a lot this year, but these are three kinds of crops, as well as fruits from Mozhou. Can Ichikawa really learn so much in a short period of time? He also said that it was just overnight, which is too unbelievable."

Yang Tianci can't explore the truth now, but such a miraculous thing made Yang Tianci pay more attention, and made Yang Tianci even more curious about the identity of this mysterious person.

"Is there such a magical person in the world? In the past 20 years, we have stepped up overseas exploration. It is said that there are immortals overseas. Is it true?"
