Of course, it is impossible to start a war and give it a given matter after a few days, but today is to determine an intention, and it will take countless preparations to really start fighting, and it will take several months to plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is a tradition to hold a banquet, and in any case, Xiaotian has to hold a banquet in Macau today. Xiao Tian is also very willing to show the superiority of my Heavenly Empire in all aspects, and let his special chef concoct a table of authentic Huaiyang food, which shocked these local veterans so much that they almost swallowed their tongues.

Europe at this time was a bit more monotonous, let alone the crew, with only bread and tortillas and potato strips and bean sprouts as side dishes. It's really pitiful.

Wait, I just missed something very important.

"My day", eating and eating, Xiaotian suddenly jumped up, as if he was extremely annoyed and excited.

Xiao Tian understood what he had missed, it was potatoes and corn, this pig's head just wanted to compare food with these old hats, but he didn't find the potatoes and corn that had been served a long time ago, you must know that these two things are even more effective than the entire spice islands to Xiao Tian and Daming.

What was the root cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty? Don't mention any bullshit tartars, they are at most external causes, the real root cause is that there is not enough food to eat, and the so-called Li Chuang Wang Shenma is all hungry. According to historical records, the population at the end of the Ming Dynasty approached 200 million, and 200 million is the concept of Shenma?

If there is not enough food to eat, there can only be war, only killing, and when people are almost dead, there will be enough food to eat. In fact, when the peasants revolted at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the government could provide food for disaster relief, these rebels would be honest immediately and would not make trouble at all, but it was a pity that the government at the end of the Ming Dynasty could not take out the grain.

But the population of the same land reached 300 million during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even reached 400 million during the Tongzhi period, is it really that the emperors of the Manchu government are wise and martial, 200 million people eat the Ming Dynasty, but 400 million people can't eat across the Manchu Dynasty?

Of course it's bullshit, no matter how wise the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is, after all, it is a one-man rule, it is a dictatorship, no matter how useless the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, after all, he is in charge of the house, and politically it is far stronger than the Manchu Dynasty, and there is only one real reason, that is, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and peanuts.

In fact, these high-yield crops were all introduced in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately the real large-scale cultivation was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is also a mistake.

Now that Xiaotian is here, how can he let go of such an artifact?

Xiao Tian's eyes were red and he shouted, "Stop, stop!" You are not allowed to eat, you are not allowed to eat at all."

Everyone was startled by this neurotic and looked at him in amazement

Xiao Tiandao: "Sorry, it's rude." Pls Commander Warlosh, potatoes and corn, how many are on your ship". When he asked this sentence, Xiao Tian's voice trembled, for fear of getting an answer that they didn't have much.

"Oh, these two things are our staple food, and there are many more in the fleet, if Your Excellency the Marquis likes it, I can give you some"

Xiao Tian said: "No, dear friend, you must give me all your potatoes and corn, right away." I will exchange it with you for the best white rice".

Warlord found it difficult to keep up with the leaping thinking of the marquis in front of him, but he didn't suffer anyway, and he couldn't offend him because of this, so he agreed.

Xiaotian didn't even eat, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to carry it, looking at the cute little potatoes and small corn, just like seeing his own son, everyone couldn't put it down, and asked to be handled gently, who dared to break one, and immediately scolded him.

In the end, from the Warlords, which were full of three large ships, Xiao Tianle was so happy that he could even see the back molars. I was going to go home to accompany my daughter-in-law, but now I naturally put potatoes first, sailed with full sails, and arrived in Jinhai overnight.

West Garden.

"Ancestor, ancestor, the Marquis of Dingyuan is here, and if you arrive overnight, you want to see your master right away."

Huang Jin was surprised: "Xiaotian? How did he get here? No one called him? He said nothing."

The little eunuch said: "No, but looking at him in the dust, it is a big deal."

Xiao Tian's importance is getting bigger and bigger, the original joke has come true, and Jiajing's quiet room has really erected a sixteenth bookshelf, specifically counting all kinds of account books that Xiao Tian got back, which shows how big his role is now.

Huang Jin didn't dare to slack off, and said: "The master is in retreat, it is said that he can't see people, but although the Marquis of Dingyuan is not very old, he is not a reckless person.

Jiajing was also surprised when he heard that Xiaotian was coming, now Xiaotian's importance is too great, it can be said that Jiajing would rather not have Yan Song than Xiaotian now, because Yan Song is gone, and there are people who can make up for it, but Xiaotian is different, who can earn so much silver for him without this person?

Almost without hesitation, Jiajing agreed with Xiaotian, it can be said that Quan Daming can have this treatment in Xiaotian, you must know that no one can see anyone except Huang Jin when Jiajing is in retreat.

After seeing the ceremony, Jiajing opened his mouth and asked, "What happened to me who came so far and was so anxious to see me."

Xiao Tiandao: "Your Majesty, I am very happy, the minister really can't control his excitement, and he doesn't want to delay for a moment, so he is in a hurry to tell His Majesty the good news."

When Jiajing heard that it was good news, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "In the past two years, the good news reported by the cabinet is not as much as yours, what good news."

Xiao Tian carefully took out a baby corn and baby potatoes from his arms, and said, "This is the good news of the minister, please cook it first."

Jiajing said: "You have found an elixir for me."

Xiao Tiandao: "Your Majesty will know in a while, although this thing is not an elixir, it is better than an elixir." ”

Jiajing was also interested when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked the eunuch of Shangshan Jian to cook it, this old eunuch has served the emperor for decades, but it is the first time he has seen this thing, and he really doesn't know what to do with this thing for a while.

Xiao Tian saw the old eunuch's embarrassment, and said: "Just boil it in boiling water, you don't need to put anything, it will be cooked in a quarter of an hour."

A quarter of an hour later, the two things were cooked and brought up, and the eunuchs still wanted to try them, but Jiajing interrupted: "Okay, I still don't believe that Huaizhen can't succeed, this thing is extremely precious, and you are not blessed to eat it." So saying, he first opened the potatoes and ate them."

Jiajing hadn't eaten anything good, so at this time, he ate something fresh, and after eating both things, he said: "Well, that's good, but you've gone all the way to interrupt my retreat, I don't think it's to get me a bite of fresh food, just say what you have, don't sell it."

Xiao Tiandao: "The emperor really guessed wrong, the minister is here to send these two things, do you know what the yield per mu of these two things is?" ”

Jiajing said: "Why, can there still be three hundred catties." ”

Xiao Tiandao: "Your Majesty, the round one you just ate is called a potato, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, no picking land, no water." The long corn is called corn, with a yield of 500 catties per mu, and the key is cold resistance, which can be planted in a large area on the border of Liaodong and Xuanda. This is the auspicious gift of the Ming Dynasty from God, Your Majesty."

In later generations, potatoes could yield one ton per mu casually, even two tons, half a ton of corn, and even more than one ton. However, there was no chemical fertilizer in this Ming Dynasty, and later generations must have been improved varieties, and it was almost the same if you folded it in half.
