Chapter 875: Do something for this palace

It was already a quarter of an hour later when Zheng Baorong hurried to the East Palace.

Seeing the fat man's head was sweating and panting, Li Chen said slowly: "Your physique should be reduced and lose weight, otherwise you will die suddenly in the yamen one day and everything will be empty."

Zheng Baorong finished his salute respectfully, then raised his head and wiped his sweat, and replied with a simple face: "Your Highness, you don't know, Weichen is also indescribable. The doctor has long said that Weichen is too obese and is not a good thing for health, but Weichen's constitution is a constitution that will make you fat even if you drink water. He doesn't eat much every meal, but he just can't reduce it."

"What do you eat for every meal?" Li Chenman asked casually.

Zheng Baorong is really unambiguous and reports seriously: "Generally, there are two vegetarian dishes, four meat dishes, one soup, and three big bowls of rice. Occasionally, it's a little lighter, and only four big bowls of noodles."

Li Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and scolded: "You are not eating much? You are the only food rations, which is enough to support seven or eight people in ordinary families."

Zheng Baorong smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly explained: "Your Highness clearly shows that I have no waste. I really have such a big appetite. If I don't have enough food, I'll be hungry..."

"Okay."

Li Chen interrupted Zheng Baorong and said, "I won't be able to eat as much as you can, but I will not be able to take care of your dining table."

"How is the promotion of sweet potato planting today?"

As soon as he talked about this, Zheng Baorong immediately became furious and said excitedly: "A great harvest, a great harvest, your highness!"

"The sweet potatoes in the first season will be harvested from the field soon. Some areas that were planted earlier can be harvested now, with more yields than we expected. The ministers took their own initiative and gave them some to the people and taught them how to eat them."

"Now a large number of people have tasted the sweetness and are asking about the origin of sweet potatoes, how to grow them, etc."

“Two months.”

Zheng Baorong raised two fingers, thought for a while, and took another one back, and said firmly: "In just one month, Weichen will surely make the people in the entire Jingji area fight for the planting of sweet potatoes! And this thing can definitely quickly occupy the grain market and relieve our food shortage in Daqin!"

Even though Li Chen performed a show for Zheng Baorong this time, he was still excited when he heard the news.

"Very good. Once the sweet potatoes can be promoted, the palace can do too many things."

Li Chen praised Zheng Baorong and said, "If this matter is done, you, Zheng Baocheng, will be of great success."

Zheng Baorong grinned, but said very well: "I dare not, I dare not, all the credit is His Highness. I am just holding His Highness's things, so that the people of the world know how good it is and dare not praise it."

With a chuckle, Li Chen said, "It must be your credit that will not be missing."

Zheng Baorong was overjoyed when he heard this.

What is the purpose of the people below doing things to the death?

It's nothing more than benefits.

It can be money or power.

In the officialdom, what is pursued is naturally power.

With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words, Zheng Baorong is confident that he can take another big step forward.

Sure enough, it is the wisest choice to do things for Your Highness seriously.

While being complacent, Zheng Baorong heard Li Chen's voice coming again: "Today I call you, in addition to asking about the progress of sweet potatoes, there is another very important thing for you to do."
