Zhu Prefecture was close to the capital, and it only took an hour to reach the site of the 1,000 mu of experimental field in Zhu Prefecture all the way through the official roads.

Emperor Jing Li got off the carriage first.

One by one, the imperial officials followed suit. Before they could hold their black gauze hats on their heads, they were stunned by what they saw not far away.

On the endless fields, everyone was bending down and working as they carried baskets or sacks with a smile of joy on their faces. The reason they were smiling was because of the mountain of potatoes.

The carriages could not enter the experiential fields. Therefore, they disembarked on the official road and followed Emperor Jing Li towards the experimental fields. The more they walked, the more they could not believe their eyes.

The–There are mountains of potatoes all over the land in heaps.

They are all potatoes, which they love to eat.

As soon as the Bureau Chief of the Department of Agricultural Products raised his eyes from organising the harvesting of the potatoes, he also saw Emperor Jing Li. He froze for a moment and hurriedly paid his respect to Emperor Jing Li, "Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live and reign for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand of ten thousand years!"

The people who were harvesting the potatoes had long been aware of Emperor Jing Li and the others. Although they were close to the Imperial City, they had never seen the Emperor before. This time, the Emperor and Lady Xi of Bright Countenance had discovered delicious potatoes, which prevented one from being hungry. They have long worshipped Emperor Jing Li and Lady Xi of Bright Countenance as deities.

At this moment, when they heard the Bureau Chief of the Department of Agricultural Products say that it was the Emperor, they all hurriedly dropped the work they were doing and kowtowed in unison. "Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live and reign for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand of ten thousand years!"

The untrained shouts were not neat and tidy, but Emperor Jing Li was thrilled to hear them. He treated the people with importance and naturally wanted them to do the same. When he heard it, he couldn't help but think of his Qing Qing, who had given all this to him. He was extraordinarily excited to hear such a sincere voice.

However, it was not the time to think of Qing Qing. He asked the Bureau Chief of the Department of Agricultural Products, "Why are you here?"

"Responding to Your Majesty, this humble subject was ordered by Lady Xi of Bright Countenance to come and supervise."

"Lady Xi of Bright Countenance?" When Liao Qing Qing was mentioned, Emperor Jing Li was particularly interested.

"Yes. Lady Xi of Bright Countenance said that this was the first time the common people of Zhu prefecture had harvested potatoes, and she was afraid that they might not understand anything. So she ordered this humble subject to supervise and observe whether there were any abnormalities in the growth of the thousand mu of potatoes." The Bureau Chief of the Department of Agricultural Products said truthfully.
