Chongzhen learned that Mao Wenlong used a high-yield, drought-tolerant seed to exchange with those rich households, so that those rich households contributed money and efforts for him, and he took the initiative. In this way, even the rich people believe that this grain seed must be true.

"Immediately order someone to bring these grain seeds, I want to see what they are?" After Chongzhen pondered for a moment, he immediately ordered Wu Chengen to do it.

"Your Majesty, the things have been delivered, and they will be placed outside at the moment, so it is better to go outside and have a look." Wu Chengen replied.

"Oh, let's go!"

Chongzhen was immediately overjoyed, and he took the lead in getting up and walking out the door, followed by Wu Chengen.

In the small garden in front of the study, there are three large water tanks, on which sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are planted.

"Is that all these things?" Chongzhen looked at it carefully for a moment, but he still couldn't recognize what they were.

"Back to the emperor, these three things are called sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. Mao Wenlong relied on these three things from the Yi people to solve the food crisis. Wu Chengen told Chongzhen what he knew.

"Are these things really as productive and drought-tolerant as they are rumored to be?" Chongzhen looked at the ordinary crops in front of him, and he couldn't believe it in his heart.

Wu Chengen didn't say anything more, but immediately asked the guards to bring in a big wooden box from the outside. When opened, it was filled with ripe sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Wu Chengen introduced: "Your Majesty, these are sweet potatoes and potatoes. This thing is not only high-yielding, but I heard that it is also delicious and delicious, why don't we cook some and taste it? ”

Chongzhen didn't hesitate, he immediately ordered the eunuch to arrange it.

The boiled sweet potatoes and potatoes didn't take long at all, and soon, a large pot of hot sweet potatoes and potatoes was placed in front of Chongzhen.

Wu Chengen took the lead in trying, and after making sure that there was no abnormality, he made a sweet potato and a potato for Chongzhen.

Chongzhen couldn't wait, took a small bite of the sweet potato, it melted in his mouth, and his mouth was full of sweetness, which was very appetizing. Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't control it, and swallowed the entire nearly two catties of sweet potatoes in three or two clicks.

Wu Chengen had never seen Chongzhen have such a good appetite, and he was immediately surprised. However, what surprised him was not only that, but Chongzhen actually picked up another potato and took a bite of it.

I don't know if Chongzhen has already filled up alone, or if the previous sweet potato is too sweet, this potato is not appetizing, in short, he just stopped after taking a bite.

After wiping his mouth, Chongzhen said with satisfaction: "Although this potato is not as delicious as sweet potato, it is still delicious." Especially this sweet potato, I have never eaten anything so delicious. ”

Wu Chengen chuckled: "Your Majesty, this is also the reason why those rich people compete for this grain." They obviously also saw the interests of this thing, so they attached so much importance to it. ”

Chongzhen nodded, and then his face was gloomy, and he said viciously: "There is such a good thing in the world, those damn spies have only now learned that they have passed on my holy order and cut off their dogs' heads." ”

If he had obtained these things a few years ago, Chongzhen would definitely not be like now, at least there would be no need to owe military rations, which would lead to instability in the army's morale. And the famine in Shaanxi and other places will certainly not develop into such an uncontrollable situation as it is now.

The emperor just wanted to kill a few spies, Wu Chengen naturally didn't say much, he chuckled twice and passed on the order.

Chongzhen then collected his mood and began to put his mind on the things in front of him, in fact, it was not too late to get these things. As long as this thing can be cultivated all over the country as soon as possible, the famine situation in the world will be solved within a year.

As long as there is no more famine, the people will not rise up and revolt, and the rebel army will be defeated. And Chongzhen can take a break and concentrate on dealing with those Houjin troops.

"Cheng'en, how much do we have now, or how much can we get?" After thinking about it, Chongzhen asked in a deep voice.

Wu Chengen seemed to have guessed Chongzhen's thoughts, and he said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, all the things we have now are here. Mao Wenlong controls these things very strictly, and he easily refuses to leak them. If it weren't for the fact that it happened to be the case of the rich people this time, we would not have known about it. ”

"Only this little ......" Chongzhen immediately felt disappointed.

After that, he said unwillingly: "Is there a way to grab these things from Mao Wenlong?" ”

Wu Chengen's face was dry, and he explained for Chongzhen: "Mao Wenlong has always attached great importance to these, so he looks at them very closely, if he wants to grab them, he can only get them by capturing Ye County." But ......"

"But what? If you have something to say, don't be a fuss. Chongzhen snorted impatiently.

"However, now that Mao Wenlong has spread all these seeds, if the emperor is not in a hurry, he can wait until the next season's grain harvest time, and then we can make plans, so that it will be much easier to get it."

After Wu Chengen finished speaking, he shrank his head, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chongzhen, after all, if Chongzhen was really not in a hurry, he didn't need to ask what he just said. And it can be cultivated with the seeds you have now, and there is no need to fight Mao Wenlong's idea at all.

Sure enough, Chongzhen immediately slapped the dragon case and shouted angrily: "I have to wait for another quarter, if I can wait, do I still need to be so anxious now?" ”

Wu Chengen endured Chongzhen's anger all his life, but he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, until Chongzhen finished venting and calmed down a little, he persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in fact, we will go to grab Mao Wenlong's grain seeds now, and we still need to plant them ourselves, and this also means that we will not have grain until the next season's harvest." ”

"And if we wait until the grain in the whole territory of Henan can be harvested, and then we go to rob, there is no need to wait. You don't need to spend that effort, you can directly have ready-made food. ”

Listening to Wu Chengen's explanation, Chongzhen suddenly felt reasonable. Now go and grab seeds to cultivate yourself, and you will have to wait until the season has passed before you can get food. And if you wait until the grain in Henan can be harvested and then grab it, in addition to not having to contribute yourself, it can also damage Mao Wenlong, which can be described as a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Hahaha, it's better to think about it, and that's it. Then I will wait for the grain in Henan to ripen with peace of mind. Chongzhen was suddenly overjoyed, and the anger just now had been forgotten and forgotten.

"The emperor is wise." Wu Chengen was also relieved immediately, and flattered him by the way.

"Report!"

A guard suddenly broke in, knelt directly in front of Chongzhen, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the peasant army in Gansu has gathered a large army and is advancing towards Shaanxi. ”

"What ......" Chongzhen was immediately shocked.
