Sweet potatoes and potatoes are native to the Americas, and we didn't have them here in Daming, and they were later brought to Daming by missionaries.

It was planted in Jiangnan and Fujian and other places, but because the planting method was wrong, the yield was very low, and it was later eliminated.

In the past, Zhu Youzhen had given sweet potato seeds to the household, but all of them were buried in the ground by the farmers one by one, and the potatoes grew a few.

But when the sweet potato grows up, the old root rots, and there is still only one new one, and it is not as big as the seed, which can harm the people.

They all have a shadow in their hearts, and they never want to see sweet potatoes and potatoes again.

More than 20,000 people, after so many days of busyness, not counting wages, even if they eat, they eat a lot of silver, I thought that the construction of this greenhouse was to grow wheat.

As a result, when I saw a bunch of sweet potatoes and potato seeds, many people began to hang their heads, like deflated balls, and they didn't even want to move.

Zhu Youzhen can understand their thoughts, rice and wheat have been cultivated for thousands of years, and new agricultural products are difficult for them to accept, and they have failed to grow them in the past.

Whether these people want it or not, sweet potatoes and potatoes are to be planted, and no one can stop them.

"Don't be discouraged, let you come to work for a salary, you just have to do what I ask, whether you get it or not, it has nothing to do with you.

Hurry up and take action, reduce the sweet potato vines according to this method, and then insert half a foot on the ridge.

Dig out furrows in the field where the potatoes are grown, and then bury the place where the potatoes germinate facing up, and hold on to them. ”

As a modern traverser, Zhu Youzhen certainly knows how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

He personally demonstrated it to everyone, and then asked everyone to do what he had just done.

The people, who had no motivation, stopped thinking about their daily wages and immediately began to work.

The soldiers are very motivated, they don't know any big truths, they only know how to serve the country.

The court not only gave them military salaries, but also gave them wives, how can they be worthy of their hungry conscience if they don't do it well.

With the joint efforts of everyone, it still took a whole day, and 50,000 acres were finally planted by everyone.

In addition, some pepper seedlings were planted in the edge area of the greenhouse, and these pepper seedlings were also given by the system, and Zhu Youzhen did not exchange them with points.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted, but the work is not over.

Because the growth cycle of sweet potatoes requires temperature cooperation, the weather is too cold, and the greenhouse temperature is only five to six degrees, which is not suitable for the rapid growth of sweet potatoes.

In order to make sweet potatoes grow quickly, dozens of coal stoves are placed in each greenhouse, and the temperature must be kept above 15 degrees, and ventilation openings must be left.

It doesn't matter if the potatoes are just right, the temperature of the greenhouse is just right for its growth, there is no need to heat, almost no need to care about it, and the potatoes will be harvested directly.

Sweet potatoes can't be as simple as potatoes, because of the need for temperature, you must take care of the coal stove, and you have to pour a small amount of water at the beginning.

After everything was over, Zhu Youzhen called Ni Yuanlu again:

"Ni Shangshu, Daming is in the Xiaoice River period, heavy snowfall in winter, drought in summer, give you a task, when the ice and snow melt, build dams in the ravines next to the farmland, intercept the snow water melted by the ice and snow, and use it for irrigation of the farmland in the summer, and these water sources cannot be let flow away in vain."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured, when the frozen soil thaws, the household department will immediately start building the embankment."

Ni Yuanlu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After explaining Ni Yuanlu, Zhu Youzhen called Huang Degong again:

"General Huang, each sweet potato greenhouse is guarded by five soldiers, mainly responsible for changing briquettes, watering some water when you see the soil is dry and cracked, you don't need too much, if you don't have enough manpower, you can send some more soldiers, and we will harvest sweet potatoes in a month."

"Sir, we will do it strictly according to your requirements, you can rest assured."

A big stone in his heart can finally be put down, and Zhu Youzhen is not worried about the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes at all, and the yield of seeds exchanged for such a large price will definitely not be low.

As soon as he returned to the Qianqing Palace, Qinglong took a note and asked to see him:

"Your Majesty, I just received a letter from Shengjing Flying Pigeon."

"Flying Pigeon? Take it to me. ”

"Obey"

Qinglong immediately handed a note he had just received to Zhu Youzhen, opened the note and saw that it was written by Yue Fei himself:

"Your Majesty, 132 people from the northern alien race have invaded, and now they have all been killed, leaving more than 500 people in the stronghold of 200 miles north of Heilongjiang, Weichen has ordered someone to clear them all, and hereby report to the saint."

After reading Yue Fei's letter, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha...... Yue Fei is worthy of Yue Fei, although he doesn't know that there is such a country as Lao Maozi, but he will not allow anyone to illegally step into my Ming Dynasty, otherwise he will kill himself. ”

Qinglong was confused by Zhu Youzhen, and hurriedly asked:

"Your Majesty, what old Maozi, does anyone dare to take the initiative to offend my Da Ming?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded:

"Of course there is, a barbarian people in the north of the Ming Dynasty."

Qinglong was also furious:

"Your Majesty, give Qinglong a holy decree, and the minister will go and kill their leader."

"No, they are too far away from my Daming, and now it is snowing again, and it may take you two months to get there, don't worry, I will make them tremble when they think of Daming."

Qinglong hurriedly arched his hand and smiled:

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Qinglong, immediately reply to Yue Fei, and immediately send someone to take off the old Maozi stronghold, cut off their heads, and build a Jingguan on the spot."

"Obey"

Qinglong withdrew from the Qianqing Palace after receiving the decree.

Thinking of Yue Fei, Zhu Youzhen thought of the batch of gold and silver treasures collected from Shengjing.

Now not only is the treasury abundant, but his personal small treasury is also full of money.

War points are used to exchange things from the system, and those gold and silver have not been touched at all.

Now the system warehouse has reached 20 million taels of silver, more than 1 million taels of gold, and a lot of other jewelry.

These gold and silver treasures were all confiscated from corrupt officials and merchants of the Eight Great Emperors, and some of them were honored by Zhu Dadian when they were in Fengyang.

Although some of the defense of the Beijing division and disaster relief were used, there were still more than 20 million taels.

And the gold and silver treasures brought back from Meng Yuan and Sheng Jing are now placed in the inner house, under the care of Wang Chengen.

For the time being, there is no income system warehouse, and they have all been put into the internal account by Zhu Youzhen.

He didn't want to put all those valuable things into the system warehouse, in case the system disappeared one day, wouldn't he accompany his wife and break the army.

Although there is a lot of silver in the treasury, the military pay will be paid in the coming year, and disaster relief will also be provided.

The Ministry of Industry also needs a large amount of money to develop new weapons and develop naval ships, and it is estimated that there will soon be very little left.

Zhu Youzhen also wants to build a powerful special operations force, which is also a very silver-burning thing.

Let's go to the inner treasury to take a look, the royal chamber of commerce's income this year, the princess has not reported it to him, and this money will also flow into the inner treasury.

"Come on, pass on Wang Cheng'en to see me!"

"Obey"

Soon Wang Chengen arrived in a hurry, the emperor had not summoned him for a long time, and the old eunuch thought that the emperor had forgotten him.

"Slaves and maids see Your Majesty."

Lao Wang came in and was about to pay a big salute, but Zhu Youzhen hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Old Wang, you don't need a big gift to see me in the future, take me to the inner palace to have a look."

"Your Majesty, the Royal Chamber of Commerce is still counting, it will be over in two days, it is estimated that there are more than nine million taels of silver income, Your Majesty Shengming, Daming is not short of money."

Speaking of internal money, Lao Wang immediately smiled, in the past, the emperor's poor internal money could starve to death mice.

Emperor Chongzhen almost couldn't sleep at night for the silver, but now it's good, and the sky has suddenly changed.
