Chapter 971: The Big Surprise Brought by Sweet Potatoes!

high-yield crops,

sweet potato

What the hell is this?

What does it have to do with the current drought?

It is good to find a crop like anointed rice, but far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and now there is a great drought in the world, the grain is difficult to grow, the harvest is bleak, and no matter how high the yield is, it is useless!

Everyone was confused, and their hearts were full of doubts.

However, because the Son of Heaven had just spoken, no one interrupted Yao Yun's words, and they looked at Yao Yun one by one, with a look of anticipation.

After Yao Yun gave a general introduction to the sweet potato, he saw the doubts in everyone's hearts, smiled, and said:

"Sweet potatoes are a dryland crop that is extremely drought tolerant and barren. ”

Drought!!!

As soon as these two words came out, it was like a ray of light penetrating into everyone's hearts.

Before that, everyone still didn't understand why Yao Yun meant what he said, but at this moment, everyone suddenly realized what the biggest dilemma facing the Summer Dynasty was now, which was nothing more than a great reduction in grain production under the drought, forming a famine, and then shaking the foundation of the Heavenly Empire.

At present, a new, high-yielding, drought-resistant crop is undoubtedly a "timely rain".

Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven stood up even more and stared at Yao Yun deadly:

"How drought-resistant?"

Yao Yun pondered for a while and said: "Sweet potatoes only need a small amount of water to grow tenaciously, whether it is the sandy land on the uphill slope of the southern barren rain highlands or the dry land of the desolate plateau in the northwest, sweet potatoes can survive and even have high yields."

Take the current drought situation in the south as an example, ordinary rice and wheat cannot survive, and it is inevitable that the yield will be reduced or even the harvest will be lost, but only the sweet potatoes planted in my country are surviving very well, and the yield will not be greatly affected!"

Rumble!!!

After Yao Yun finished speaking, the hall was full of exclamations.

Emperor Twilight, Lao Situ, Jiang Gong, and all the ministers and princes looked at Yao Yun with blazing eyes.

It's not over yet, Yao Yun continued:

"The question at hand is what Shenlong Bingyi will do next, if he leaves a glimmer of life, sweet potatoes can play a miraculous effect, under the large-scale cultivation of sweet potatoes, the Celestial Empire can not only save the people from fire and water, but also regain the best of both worlds, send troops to crusade against the Southern Barbarian countries, the best of both worlds;

However, if he insists on going his own way, exacerbating the drought, and making it difficult for people and livestock to drink water everywhere in the world, then even sweet potatoes will not help. ”

Yao Yun brought the thoughts in his heart one by one.

Emperor Twilight, Lao Situ, and Jiang Gong glanced at each other, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, and their hearts were inexplicably excited.

Fang Cai's old Situ and Jiang Gong pinched each other, arguing with red ears and thick noses, but both sides knew that their ideas were not the best, and on the contrary, they were likely to drag Zhu Xia Dynasty into the quagmire.

If it weren't for the lack of help, no one would have looked at the trap and jumped up.

They originally thought that there was no third way to choose from in the Zhuxia Dynasty, but they never expected that the sudden appearance of Xihou really gave them a great surprise.

Jiang Gong, who has always been at odds with Yao Yun, changed his previous attitude, he was very kind, and he had a smile on his face:

"Xihou, you don't have to worry, Shenlong Bingyi will not be wiped out, if he really launches a more terrifying drought, and it is difficult for people and animals in the world to drink water, then he is the way to die, and then the heavenly court will definitely make an exception to kill him, there is no need to worry.

Lao Situ nodded and agreed: "Jiang Gong is right, in order to seize power, Shenlong Bingyi brazenly launched a monstrous flood and caused a catastrophe, and this crime should be punished, but Heavenly Court Nian Bingyi is an innate god born by the Heavenly Dao and a thing of Heavenly Dao merit creation, so he did not take his life, but just sealed his divine body in Kunlun Divine Mountain, and the Yuan Shen was grounded in the extreme abyss.

Xihou, you are young and don't know anything, in fact, the Heavenly Court has already decreed that if Bingyi commits another catastrophe that destroys the world, the Celestial Empire can sue the heavens and kill him.

This point, Shenlong Bingyi is also very clear, so when he launches disaster revenge in the future, the scale is very good, which not only embarrass us, but will leave a glimmer of life, needless to say, let's talk about sweet potatoes, Xihou, where are the sweet potatoes?"

When Yao Yun heard this, he was quite surprised, this Divine Dragon Bingyi was also too oily.

It's just an old oilman.

Disaster repeat offender, but also gave him the experience.

Emperor Du of the Son of Heaven bowed slightly: "What Lao Situ and Jiang Gong Aiqing said is right, it is roughly such a situation, the summer dynasty has flooded every year, and the figure of Shenlong Bingyi is behind him, for his temperament, the Celestial Dynasty has already figured it out, Aiqing does not have to worry." ”

After a pause, Emperor Twilight said, "Xihou, do you have sweet potatoes in your hands?"

Yao Yun nodded: "Yes, after the female Lu Niangniang handed over the sweet potatoes to Xi Guo, she ordered people to plant and breed in large quantities, and in the past two years, Xi Guo has newly reclaimed more than 200,000 acres of sandy land and dry land to plant sweet potatoes. ”

Are there really surviving sweet potatoes?

And it's planted on a large scale!

Emperor Tianzi's pupils shrank, his eyes burst with brilliance, he grabbed Yao Yun's hand, and asked excitedly, "Can you promote the world?"

"Yes!"

Yao Yun said firmly: "The cultivation of sweet potatoes is extremely simple, and the roots, stems and leaves can be planted, especially the more than 200,000 acres of sweet potatoes in Xiguo are used as seeds, which is extremely convenient to promote;

This year, the spring potatoes of Xiguo will be on the market soon, and when the spring potatoes are on the market, they will be able to implement the world immediately, and in the autumn, there will be sweet potatoes on the market in various places in the summer. ”

"Big prize!"

Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven applauded.

What is the mountain and the water are doubtful, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!

That's it!

Emperor Tianzi was excited, and the rest of the hall was even better.

Lao Situ is excited and happy for the people of the world.

Under the drought, even if all the granaries of the prefectures and granaries in various parts of the world are taken out to help the victims in the summer, there will still be hundreds of people starving to death.

Jiang Gong was also in high spirits to be able to continue the crusade against the Southern Barbarian States, and he high-fived.

Not only him, but also the major imperial clans of Middle-earth present, a single person breathed a sigh of relief on his face, and his heart was excited.

In the past two years, they have invested too much in the Southern Wasteland, and some of the declining Emperor Divine Descendants have smashed most of the clan's foundation in the Southern Wasteland in one fell swoop in order to revive the clan's majesty.

If there is no war, the blow to them will be devastating.

They had already prepared to fight to the death and have no retreat, but what they never expected was that Xihou would point out a third incomparably bright path to them.

If they don't give up on the thousands of people in the summer dynasty, the Southern Barbarian countries will also take it, killing two birds with one stone, isn't this the result they dreamed of?!

"Xihou, quickly lead the way, take us and others to see the sweet potatoes!"
