After eating and leaving the shop, the young man and his party continued on the road, along the way the young man was riding a horse, while thinking: just these eight little guys, can eat people poor, what should we do next? I can't abandon them halfway, but looking at these eight lovely children, I can't bear to say anything!

Since it is difficult to feed, and he can't be abandoned halfway, the guy is very worried when he thinks about it, and it is not a long-term solution to always eat other people's old man's big family! Thinking about it, it's really a bit of a headache, and I can't think of any good tricks, so I can't help but naively think: "It would be nice if there was a high-yield grain, and it would be best to have a yield of nearly 10,000 catties per mu. ”

The sweet potato in the young man's mouth is also called sweet potato, which was first planted in Mexico and Colombia in the middle of the Americas, and was brought to the Philippines and other countries by the Spaniards to be planted, and the sweet potato was first introduced to China in the Wanli period in the late Ming Dynasty, and entered China by three routes - Yunnan, Guangdong, and Fujian.

Historically, it is generally believed that the introduction of sweet potatoes to China originated in the 21st year of Wanli (1593).

In the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhenlong, a native of Changle, Fujian Province, who had been doing business in Luzon (i.e., the Philippines) for many years, and his son Chen Jinglun saw that a root crop called "sweet potato" was planted locally, and the tuber root was "as big as a fist, the skin color was vermilion, the heart was crisp and juicy, it was edible both raw and cooked, the yield was high, and the wide variety was barren."

Thinking of his hometown of Fujian, where there are many mountains and few fields, barren land, and insufficient food, Chen Zhenlong decided to introduce sweet potatoes to China, and in this way, this high-yield crop finally succeeded in settling in China. His actions, I don't know how many people he saved, are simply the best food for the poor to survive the famine!

The guy thought about it, and at this time, the sweet potatoes were probably still in South America, so he had to smile bitterly and shook his head: "South America is too far away, with the conditions at this time, you can't go at all." "If you can't do it, it would be nice to have potatoes and corn or something!

Alas, the guy sighed heavily, if only there were really sweet potatoes! The people of the Celestial Empire can grow from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, and this thing still has a great contribution! The so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Era" in the Qing Dynasty was mainly due to the large-scale cultivation of sweet potatoes, and in the final analysis, it was the façade that relied on this!

I don't know how many lives this sweet potato saved in the disaster year, so why did the Qing Dynasty not die in a large-scale peasant uprising, it was because the farmers still had this sweet potato and some other foreign high-yield crops, hanging their lives! As long as they are not forced to the end, the honest peasants will not rise up to resist, even if someone rises up to resist, the strength of this resistance cannot shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty!

Otherwise, the "prosperous Qing Dynasty" from there would not have been blown by one mouth? In history, there is a saying that "the Hu people have no national fortune for a hundred years", and the Qing Dynasty is luckier than the Great Yuan in that it is fortunate to have these large-scale planting and high-yield grains that are easy to feed! Otherwise, hundreds of millions of Han people will be starved, and even the Manchurian Tartars, who have less than a million people combined, will not be enough to cut them!

Thinking of this, the guy couldn't help but pat his head in distress, this is not in the way, a shot was auctioned out of a thing, the guy suddenly remembered: When he left his hometown, didn't his mother give him a few freshly shaved sweet potatoes?

It is said that it is brought on the road to eat as fruit (people in the countryside often eat sweet potatoes and radishes as fruits because of their limited economic conditions and expensive fruits). The guy has eaten two or three along the way, this thing has peeled the skin, it tastes sweet, crunchy, and it really feels like eating apples, at least I can satisfy the regret of not being able to afford to eat high-priced fruits.

It's been a few months now, and after thinking about it, there should be two left who forgot to eat, and I don't know if it's still in my bag? I hope God bless you, these two sweet potatoes are still intact.

Thinking of this, the guy was no longer in the mood to continue touring, and immediately announced to the others: "This trip has ended, and there are still very important things to go back immediately." ”

The group did not delay any longer along the way, and unconsciously accelerated the trip, especially the Cuihua chick was like an arrow, and the big guy was dusty along the way, and soon returned to the gate of Zhangfu in Gucheng.

It was Zhang Zhong who knocked on the door and shouted: "Daddy housekeeper, my son has come back from a trip, open the door quickly." I only heard that someone inside was busy answering, and there was also a special gatekeeper who opened the door quickly, and in this way, the young man and his party entered Zhang's mansion directly.
