Potatoes are a cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant crop, and they are most suitable for cultivation in the Yunchuan Mountains. Plains areas can be reserved for rice, wheat.

When Zhu Youlang heard the good news, he immediately asked Wen Anzhi to take him to see it.

It was the first time for Wen Anzhi to see His Majesty the Emperor so impatient, and he said in his heart, this potato is really as magical as His Majesty said?

However, it was said that Wen Anzhi took the Son of Heaven to the mansion in the city, and explained with a smile: "The stakes are very high, so the minister tried to plant this potato in the small vegetable garden in his backyard, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

Zhu Youlang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Wen Qing will take me to take a look." ”

This is a potato that solves the problem of eating tens of millions of people, and Zhu Youlang can't hold back his excitement.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the courtyard one after another.

Wen Anzhi himself is a clear stream and does not have much pursuit of material, so when the Son of Heaven asked him to pick the Shuzhong Mansion casually, Wen Anzhi chose an inconspicuous one.

The house is not big, only two entrances, and no more money is spent on renovations, only the servants are asked to clean up a little and move in.

In Wen Anzhi's own words, now that the state affairs are difficult, it is a little bit to save a little.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, he should be an example for hundreds of officials.

Zhu Youlang was naturally extremely moved by this.

Wen Anzhi, the head of the cabinet, is really the most shabby, but he doesn't care at all, and only puts the interests of Daming in his heart.

The two walked through the courtyard and soon came to the backyard.

Wen Anzhi pointed to a vegetable patch and said, "Your Majesty, potatoes are planted here." It's just that a few days have passed and there is still no movement. ”

Zhu Youlang walked over and said loudly: "Fetch a knife." ”

Although Wen Anzhi didn't know what the Son of Heaven was going to do, he still ordered the servant to get a knife.

Zhu Youlang took the knife and turned over the soil according to Wen Anzhi's position, and really turned out some potatoes.

Seeing that it was some whole potatoes, Zhu Youlang smiled and said: "Potatoes are not grown like this, they have to be sliced." ”

"Slices?"

Wen Anzhi's eyes widened and asked, "What's the cut?" ”

Zhu Youlang explained while cutting the potatoes in his hand into large slices: "Only by cutting them into slices and then planting potatoes can they grow well." ”

Wen Anzhi suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't react when he planted potatoes, it turned out that the method was wrong.

It's just that where did Your Majesty know about this potato slicing planting method?

"Wen Qing, let me ask you, how many potatoes are there?"

"There are dozens of them, and the rest of the ministers have eaten. Not to mention that the taste of this potato is very good, quite noodles. ”

“...”

Zhu Youlang wanted to cry without tears when he heard this.

Such a good thing was actually eaten a lot by Wen Anzhi.

But since this is already the case, there is no way but to cultivate the remaining potatoes.

Potatoes propagate quickly, and after planting a batch, they can be sliced and replanted.

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that some time will be needed, and it will not work in Sichuan and Yunnan for two or three years.

"After this batch of potatoes is planted, Wen Qing can continue to plant slices according to my method. I dare to guarantee that as long as this potato is planted on a large scale, it will be able to solve our army's food problem in one fell swoop. ”

General Wen Anzhi was suspicious: "Your Majesty, can this potato really replace food?" Lao Chen has tasted this potato, and it is really good to use it in the dish, but will there be a problem with it as food? ”

Zhu Youlang swore and said: "Don't worry, people in Taixi take potatoes as a staple food." ”

When Zhu Youlang studied in Europe, he was not used to using potatoes as a staple food at first, but over time he adapted to the eating habits of Europeans.

In a way, potatoes are a good staple food.

The amount is full, the sense of satiety is strong, and it is not easy to get hungry after eating, no wonder Europeans like to eat.

In Asia, on the other hand, people like to make potatoes into dishes.

What shredded potatoes, potato chips, shredded potatoes...

It's a matter of eating habits on both sides, and it's not easy to change.

But in this day and age, filling your stomach is all about it.

The people are hungry and even gnaw on the bark, what's wrong with eating some potatoes?

It's a pity, it would be nice if Zhu Youlang mastered hybrid rice technology.

He chatted with Wen Anzhi again, and Wen Anzhi finally believed in the power of potatoes and promised to cultivate as many potatoes as possible for promotion as soon as possible.

Wen Anzhi is very relieved to do things, especially in internal affairs.

With him staring at the potatoes, Zhu Youlang doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Sweet potatoes and corn have to continue to look for them, and we can't stop."

Finding potatoes gave Zhu Youlang full confidence.

With all the potatoes, will the sweet potato corn be far away?

Only children do multiple-choice questions, I want them all!

"Well, it's going to take some time."

Wen Anzhi saw that the Son of Heaven was so excited, so he had to pour a basin of cold water first.

Otherwise, if you can't find sweet potatoes and corn by then, won't the Son of Heaven be very disappointed?

"Well, take your time, as long as you keep looking, you can always find it."

After a pause, Zhu Youlang suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Wen Qing, if I remember correctly, tomorrow will be your birthday, right?" ”

Wen Anzhi was moved: "You have to be remembered by Your Majesty, and the old minister is ashamed." ”

"Wen Qing, where are these words, I can't forget Wen Qing even if I forget whose birthday it is. In this way, Wen Qing will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and I will personally congratulate you on your birthday! ”

Seeing this, Wen Anzhi had no choice but to respond.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

In fact, he didn't want to be too extravagant.

But the Son of Heaven is like this, and he can't refuse.

In Zhu Youlang's view, a famous minister like Wen Anzhi can meet and cannot be found.

It is not a political show that he wants to celebrate Wen Anzhi's birthday in the palace, but he is really grateful for Wen Anzhi's contributions over the years.

An old man in his seventies, who should have enjoyed the happiness of his children and grandchildren at home, stood up without hesitation when Daming needed him the most.

This open-mindedness and this responsibility are not shared by everyone.

Not to mention Wen Anzhi's ability.

Over the years, the superintendent of Sichuan has screwed together the old Sichuan army, the original Great Western Army and the Great Shun Army.

How could it be easy to do without great ability and charisma?

Zhu Youlang asked himself, that is, he couldn't do better.

Zhu Youlang gave Wen Anzhi a birthday, first, to compensate him for his efforts over the years. The second is to tell the people of the world that as long as they are courtiers who are loyal to the state and devote themselves to state affairs, the court will not forget them.

This is also to encourage people to stand up bravely and fight for their country and the world.

One Wen Anzhi may not be enough to change anything, but what about ten Wen Anzhi? What about a hundred?

Daming is developing in a good direction, as long as he is given a few years, Zhu Youlang has the confidence to bring Daming back to the position where it originally belonged!
