Chapter 676: Recuperation (4)
Oda Nobunaga quietly looked at the tray in front of him, on the top of the tray, there were four small plates, and in the saucer, there were four kinds of food that Oda Nobunaga had never seen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This is ......" Although Oda Nobunaga guessed something, he was still not sure without Oda Yoshinobu's affirmation.
"Yes, the same seed I asked Cologne to bring back from the New World. These four are roasted potatoes, roasted peanuts, roasted sweet potatoes, and roasted corn. Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle.
"Is that what it looks like?" Oda Nobunaga nodded when he heard this, although Mino is also planted, but it may be a method or only a little planting, and the cultivation in Mino has not been successful. As he spoke, Oda Nobunaga picked up one and ate it.
There's a saying that if you don't know how to cook an ingredient, then bake it! Because this was the first way God gave mankind to prepare food. The truth is, it's hard to say what ingredients can't be grilled, and it's hard to say what ingredients are hard to eat in this way.
"Not bad!" Oda Nobunaga nodded in praise after eating two bites of each, but Oda Nobunaga is not a foodie, and for him, no matter how good the taste of this thing is, it makes no difference. He only cares, "What about the yield?" Oda Nobunaga stared at Oda Yoshinobu and asked in a deep voice.
What is most important in this day and age? Talent? Money? Troops? Equip? Wrong! It's food! Because as long as there is enough food, it can attract a large number of people, and a large population will give birth to more talent, which will turn into more money, and mobilize more troops and build more equipment.
Maybe it's a bit arbitrary to say this, but food is definitely the most important kind of existence in this era, don't you see many ronins or wild samurai, just for a bite of white rice willing to help the villagers fight against bandits? And the reason why most of the peasants and soldiers are willing to help the lord go into battle to kill the enemy is also for food.
So for Oda Nobunaga, it doesn't matter what kind of corn or anything else tastes, looks like, the most important thing is the yield!
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu immediately laughed, but he didn't answer, but took out two letters and ordered someone to hand them to Oda Nobunaga. These two letters, one was written by Oda Noshishige of the Ryukyus, and the other was by Asano Nagamasa of Takayama Province. In the letter, they explained in detail how the four crops were grown and how they were produced, as well as how they were compared to traditional crops such as rice. To put it simply, although rice cannot be completely replaced, with the emergence of these four crops, the Oda family will never have to worry about food from now on.
"Hehe, what a big breath~ Are these things really so good?" Oda Nobunaga chuckled, his eyes on the table of the four foods to kill the one and kept looking at it.
"The two of them are indeed excessive, but the combination of these four foods and the original wheat and rice is indeed enough to make the family less prone to food shortages." Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle. He didn't know much about agricultural products, but when he read various Ming Guowen in his previous life, there would always be potatoes and other big killers, so Oda Yoshinobu asked Yanagi to help bring some back for trial planting.
In his mind, even if the yield is not so exaggerated, it is at least much stronger than just rice or something. It is important to know that not all land is suitable for growing rice and wheat.
After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "Moreover, I believe that Nobushige and Nagamasa will not and dare not lie to me......"
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded, and he naturally would not doubt this. After thinking about it, "Well, let's start planting these crops in areas that are not suitable for growing rice, and at the same time plant these crops in the wasteland that is ready to be cultivated." ”
Naturally, Oda Yoshinobu has no opinion on this, in fact, he himself thinks so. Replace rice with potatoes or something? That's simply not realistic. Regardless of whether it can be replaced, it is impossible to replace rice with potatoes alone, which can be said to be a beginner's general planting technique.
After all, most of Japan's farmland is planted with rice, and if it is replaced, any mistakes cannot be easily compensated.
Speaking of which, the news that Asano Nagamasa brought back was not only this, but there was also a piece of news that seemed interesting, that the gourd tribe was willing to join Oda Yoshinobu's command. The reason is also very simple, the Jingua tribe was attacked by another tribe, and if there was no Asano Nagamasa to lead the troops to support, the Jingua tribe would directly become history. Of course, the biggest possibility is that history will not leave the name of this tribe behind.
Then, I don't know if it's for the survival of the tribe or to thank Asano Nagamasa for his assistance, in short, the Jingua tribe is willing to surrender.
In this regard, Oda Yoshinobu naturally performed Asano Nagamasa fiercely, and at the same time once again warned him that everyone must be treated equally. Oda Yoshinobu is well aware that many multi-ethnic countries have had riots because of unequal treatment. And this is not what Oda Yoshinobu wants to see.
It's not that Oda Yoshinobu is really the master of the kind of world unity, because he has always believed in one thing, that is, human beings are born without equality. But for him, no matter what kind of person, as long as it is his people, it should be treated equally. Not because of anything else, but because these lords were able to create more benefits for Oda Yoshinobu. This is the reason why Oda Yoshinobu does not want to see discrimination.
However, strictly speaking, Oda Yoshinobu does not plan to intervene too much in the development of Takayama Country, because this place is actually not much use to him. In fact, if it weren't for the discovery of the Golden Melon, Oda Yoshinobu would not have planned to develop any territory there. With those extra manpower and material resources, it is better to develop Ise more.
Of course, if conditions permit, Oda Yoshinobu will not give up Takayama Country, after all, it is the treasure island of Taiwan in the future, and there will always be some special complexes in it. Ha? Japan? NONO, that's Oda Yoshinobu's personal domain.
After some time, news came from the Mogami family that Mogami Yoshimitsu finally forced his father, Mogami Yoshimori, to live in seclusion with the help of the old family's family. And from beginning to end, there was no upheaval.
"Tsk, it's worthy of the most yoshimitsu of the most, although it seems a little late now." Yoshinobu Oda muttered to himself. Originally, it was planned to make the Mogami family a pawn to contain the Uesugi family, but now it seems that the decisive battle with the Uesugi family is likely to start in 1 or 2 years.
"But if you can put it to good use...... Oda Yoshinobu thought to himself, looking at the map.
