Chapter 853 Sweet Potatoes Come Out

Xue Mei thought that once the twelfth lunar month comes, everything will be settled and it will be difficult to have any surprises.

So, when Michen returned with his fleet to sea, Xue Mei was surprised.

Michen had accumulated hair. In less than a year, his hair was not very long, and he only covered his ears with shallow cover. He didn't combed it, just spread it so much, a bit like a man in the Republic of China period.

The wind and sun on the sea were blowing, and the strong sea breeze made him dark. In this way, it did not reduce the magnificence of his appearance, but instead added a little exotic style, a bit unusual handsomeness and more charming.

"We delayed more than a month in order to find what the Marquis wanted, otherwise we would have come back long ago. See if this is the sweet potato you want." Michen presented the thing.

The first one to offer was the sweet potato that Xue Mei longed for the most.

Sweet potatoes have little requirements for fertility in the land, but their yield is very high and can serve as a staple food. They are one of the best food substitutes, second only to potatoes.

Xue Mei always wanted to get it.

When Michen put three in front of her, Xue Mei was overjoyed and hurriedly asked someone to bring a knife and split one of them. She cut it into pieces and tasted it, and it turned out to be that kind of taste, it was sweet potato.

"Master, thank you. You have done a great thing that benefits the country and the people. It is truly a boundless Buddhist way to spread the world." Xue Mei said.

After pausing, she looked at Mi Chen's current outfit and asked, "Is it appropriate to call you a wizard? I wonder if your information is well-informed, Cheng Lanqing is already dead."

Mi Chen was stunned at first.

He then asked, "How did you die?"

In Mi Chen's eyes, Cheng Lanqing is a cunning rabbit and it is not realistic to kill her easily.

There was nothing a generation of monks who could do it. I really didn't know how Xue Mei did it. He felt a little respect in his heart.

Xue Mei told him what happened at that time.

"...If it weren't for the heavy rain, I wouldn't have dealt with her." Xue Mei said, "By the way, my people are already stepping up the development of mechanical ships. They have tried several times, and it's almost OK.

If it succeeds, I will equip you with a hundred guns so that you will not be killed by local barbarians when you land on the foreign continent."

Michen: "…"

Xue Mei looked at him again: "How is a mage? Are you planning to continue to be your monk, or will you wander on the sea from now on?"

Master Michen smiled helplessly.

"The Marquis even plotted against monks. Aren't they afraid of retribution?" Mi Chen said.

He knew that Xue Mei hoped that he would never return to the world, treat the ocean as his way back, find something for her, and make money.

Xue Mei shrugged.

Master Mi Chen said again: "Since I'm back, I'm going to go back to the temple to take a look. As for the follow-up, should I return to secular life or regain the secular life? I have to consider it."

At that time, he was forced to leave by Cheng Lanqing. If he didn't leave at that time, he might die at the hands of Cheng Lanqing.

Mi Chen is very promising to be a mage and a monk. In addition, his experience in this exotic adventure will only allow him to gain more wealth and experience, which will be beneficial to him without any harm.

Now that Cheng Lanqing is dead, his biggest threat has disappeared. Why not do something promising?

Why not continue to carry forward your strengths?

He is a monk himself.

"When I think it through, I will report to the Marquis. All the property brought by me is in the outer courtyard. The Marquis can send someone to count them one by one." Mi Chen said again.

Xue Mei nodded: "Thank you."

He indeed went out to count the treasures brought back by Michen.

The most valuable treasure brought back by Michen was the gems, and he brought a total of ten boxes. The crew members who went there said that these gems were not worth a pound of tea in the hands of the barbarians.

Two hundred kilograms of tea were exchanged for so many gems, worth more than one million taels, Xue Mei was very surprised.

These gems are purely natural, and some of them have very good textures.

Of course, natural gems are not big in size. Even so, there are two: a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg and a red.

Xue Mei stayed both of these two. When the eldest brother got married, he gave them to him and the queen, one for each of them, which was more expensive than any gift.

Only the emperor and the queen are worthy of such a large gem, and the princess is not worthy of it.

In addition to gems, the rest are spices. These spices are also very valuable and easy to use; in addition to spices, there is also bird's nest.

Bird's nest was a tonic that Zheng He only found after voyage to the West, so people in this era naturally did not eat it.

But Xue Mei is a miraculous doctor, and she can promote this concept.

Xue Mei first hid the sweet potato in the wood ash, and then put it in the cellar to prevent it from freezing. She waited for the beginning of spring next year to cut it into small pieces and at least twenty or thirty plants could be planted.

These twenty or thirty plants can produce one or two baskets of sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes are being made into seeds and planted on more than one acre of land.

More than one acre of sweet potatoes are harvested. From then on, this thing can be slowly planted in Chu, Liang, and even Qi.

"How many lives can this save?" Xue Mei held the sweet potato and sighed at Xiao Jingcheng very much.

Gems, spices, bird's nests, and for Xue Mei, they are just a little wealth, and sweet potatoes are priceless treasures.

When she thought about the years of famine, how many people saved their lives because of sweet potatoes, Xue Mei's eyes were a little hot.

She can finally do something for this era.

Although she has made penicillin and anesthetics, she has made great contributions to this era, but these have never made her happy without sweet potatoes.

Maybe she only cares about what she eats.

Master Michen returned to the temple and rested for half a month, but felt uncomfortable. He had been wandering on the boat for a long time and did not feel that shaking when he was sleeping, so he couldn't sleep.

Many people were unable to adapt to life on the boat, and many of the crew members brought by Michen also died, but he seemed to be born with a lot of like the sound of waves hitting the ship's side.

Mr. Xue Mei said "talent".

Master Michen felt that his talent might not be to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, but to be a sailor.

The gems on Xue Mei were quickly ordered by various jewelry shops, and the profits were extremely rich, and they were really millions; the spices were also sold, and the value was not less than that of the gems, because there were several ships of spices...

People from prominent families were even more fanatical when talking about Xue Mei's fleet.

However, Xue Mei planned to hand over the fleet to the eldest brother, which should become the eldest brother's wealth. The eldest brother cannot use the national treasury, but he also needs some private money.

Although Xue Mei knew that his elder brother was rich.

Being the eldest brother of King Zhuang and the eldest brother of the emperor are different. Being an emperor requires more private money.

Master Michen looked for Xue Mei and told him that he would have returned to secular life from now on.

Xue Mei was even more overjoyed.

She gave the navigation drawings of North America to Master Michen and asked him to go to North America to help him find potatoes and coffee beans. She told him carefully what the two looked like, even the taste.

Xue Mei made it clear what their plants look like, what flowers they bloom, what they were like when they were young, what they were like when they were mature, and what they were like when they were made into food, so as not to make a mistake by Master Michen.

Just after the New Year, Xue Mei’s mechanical ship was ready. It burned coal. Each ship was twice as big as the previous ship of the Mage Michen went to sea, but it was more stable.

Master Michen set out immediately.
