"Your Majesty, this is rice porridge made of sweet potatoes. It was cooked by Sister Lan himself. It is delicious." Wang Zhaoning said as if offering treasures.

Sweet potato?!

A thunder kept exploding in Ma Jin's mind. Sweet potato? Isn't it a sweet potato? A good thing that is deified by time travelers. As long as you can produce 2,000 kilograms per mu, it can produce 2,000 kilograms per mu. A dynasty in his previous life created a glorious era through it.

"Where did this sweet potato come from?"

Pressing the surging in his heart, Ma Jin couldn't wait to ask, even so, a hint of excitement could be heard from it.

Ma Jin thought that since Concubine Lan had it here and was made into food, I am afraid that the cultivation of sweet potatoes had developed to a considerable level. Otherwise, who would dare to send things of unknown origin into the palace, so there should be no shortage of seeds. If this thing was really promoted in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the court would probably not worry about food. Ma Jin became more and more excited the more he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, this is brought by my sister. It is said that it is a specialty from his husband's family. Let me try it!"

"specialty?"

Ma Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly.

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Lan Yu'er was a little confused and didn't understand why His Majesty attached so much to a small piece of sweet potato. Although it tasted very good, it wouldn't be like this, right? Besides, is there any precious food in the palace?

"Where did your sister marry?" Ma Jin asked slowly.

"Your Majesty, my sister married to the Lin family in Liusu County, Yangzhou!"

Although Lan Yu'er didn't understand Ma Jin's intention, she did not dare to neglect and said quickly.

"What is the Lin family doing?" Ma Jin asked afterwards.

"When you go back to your Majesty, my brother-in-law is the son of Lin Lang, the prefect of Liusu County, and he works as a servant in the prefect's mansion."

"Yes," Ma Jin nodded and looked up and asked:

"Concubine Lan, you just said that this sweet potato is a specialty of tassels. Do the people there grow it?"

"This has never happened. According to my sister, only the few big clans of Liusu can grow some of them and try them out. There has never been a common saying that there is a planting."

"This Lin family is Liusu's clan!" Ma Jin's eyes suddenly sank and he said coldly.

At this time, Lan Yu'er knew that something was wrong. Looking at Ma Jin's gloomy face, she was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground. Although she didn't know why Ma Jin was angry, the other people in the hall knelt down in panic when they saw this scene, touched the ground with their heads and did not dare to speak at all.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely depressing, and everyone seemed to be strangled and almost couldn't breathe. After a long time, Ma Jin suddenly sneered:

"What a try, my heart is so destructive!"

"Wang Cheng'en!"

"Sister is here!" Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and responded in a hurry.

"I sent an order to kill the Lin clan of Liusu County in the Neiwei Mansion!

Ma Jin's words were like a bolt from the blue, which instantly scared Lan Yu'er to the point of being bloodless. What was going on? Why did Your Majesty kill her brother-in-law's family for no reason? Is it just for a piece of sweet potato?

Naturally, Lan Yu'er could not watch his sister being killed. She suppressed her inner fear and looked up at Ma Jin, wanting to plead for her sister, but before she could speak, she heard Ma Jin say:

"By the way, you send an order to the Yangzhou Town and Fushi, and ask them to take Concubine Lan's sister to the capital."

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Wang Chengen bowed and turned around and left in a hurry.

Lan Yu'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed on the ground. She was extremely glad that her sister was fine. She thought about it and kowtowed to Ma Jin with gratitude:

"I, thank your Majesty for your kindness beyond the law!"

Although she still didn't know what crime her brother-in-law's family had committed, she naturally didn't dare to ask when she saw that Ma Jin had no intention of speaking. Moreover, she thought in her heart that she might have said something she shouldn't have said, which caused her brother-in-law's family to suffer such misfortune.

Lan Yu'er finally understood what it means to be with the king and be with the tiger, and what it means to be unpredictable. However, after saying a word, a huge family disappeared, and it made me shudder after thinking about it.

Just as Lan Yu'er was speculating about being uneasy, Ma Jin helped Lan Yu'er up with a smile:

"Concubine Lan, get up. This matter has nothing to do with you. Instead, he has made great contributions to me. When your sister arrives in Shendu, I will find a good family for her."

"Concubine Lan, how long have you been in the palace?" Ma Jin suddenly asked.

Lan Yu'er was stunned and replied:

"Your Majesty, it's still eleven days away, only two years and three months away."

"Do you miss home?"

"I don't want to." Lan Yu'er hesitated for a moment and replied carefully.

"I really don't want it. I don't want it. You will remember it clearly for many days if you are missing." Ma Jin smiled.

"Let me do this, I will give you a will, so that your parents can meet you when they come to God, and it will be a reward for this time!"

"Really?" Concubine Lan raised her head in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true!" Ma Jin replied with a smile.

Lan Yu was overjoyed for a moment and was about to kneel down to thank him. He was immediately helped by Ma Jin and said in a gentle voice:

"It's just that I'm grateful for when I meet my family. This is what I should do. It just so happens that I want to meet my father-in-law, otherwise wouldn't it be too rude."

Ma Jin naturally understood why Lan Yu'er had such a big reaction, because there were too many rules in the harem. One of them was that in addition to the queen, the concubines in the harem could only hand over the signs to Shanggongjian every three years to ask the Shanggongjian to meet his family. As for whether to let him meet or not, it was the final decision of Shanggongjian. This Shanggongjian was under the jurisdiction of the queen. If the queen dislikes you, or someone did something bad, he might not necessarily meet his relatives until he died.

As the emperor, as the emperor, naturally, could not care about these small matters, nor could he take the lead in breaking the rules in the palace, otherwise how could anyone say that the gate of the palace is as deep as the sea when he enters the palace.

But Ma Jin is just a person who doesn't follow the norms. For him, the rules in the palace are like wiping his butt paper.

After Ma Jin finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zhaoning, who was full of envy in his eyes and said with a smile:

"Concubine Xian, your family will come together!"

"After a moment, I will give an order. Not only your parents, but also those of the Liang Concubine and the Shu Concubine can come to Shendu." Ma Jin smiled and said, "A sheep is also driving a flock of sheep, so he naturally cannot favor one and the other, which will cause any conflicts in the harem.

After having lunch with Concubine Lan happily, Ma Jin returned to Chaoyang Hall with satisfaction, and waited to sit on the dragon throne, Ma Jin looked solemn, Wang Chengen said:

"Wang Cheng'en, please ask Lu Bing to send a few teams of trusted inner guards to Yangzhou to take a look, and explore the great families in Yangzhou from the inside out, especially the food. I want to see how many good things these people have hidden."

In the end, Ma Jin's eyes became more and more chilling. He didn't believe that these aristocratic families would not know the huge role of sweet potatoes on the court, but these aristocratic families hid it. Why, naturally, it was for the benefit of the aristocratic families.

With crops such as sweet potatoes, the people will naturally have a full meal, and the court will not worry about food. What will these aristocratic families use to deceive the people and influence the court?

Moreover, when Ma Jin thought, since all the sweet potatoes were out, potatoes and corn should exist, but they were consciously controlled by the aristocratic families. This is also the reason why Ma Jin sent the inner guards to Yangzhou. Yangzhou, as the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is also the largest gathering place for maritime trade, and may have many unexpected surprises.
