In ancient times, although the land was vast, it was limited by the productive forces, and it was impossible to continuously cultivate new cultivated land on a large scale indefinitely.

There is also a limit to the amount of food that grows in the field, and no matter how rich you are, there will be no more food in the field. Therefore, although Qin Feng earned countless fortunes from Rome, he could not buy more grain at home. In the same way, no matter how prosperous Great Qin is, it is impossible for the land to produce more food.

History has proven that after every troubled time, there will always be a peak period of fertility, and Daqin is no exception.

These children will not be able to work as soon as they are born, and they need more than ten years of nurturing, which requires the consumption of huge social resources.

The Great Qin Empire is now facing a population explosion, and at the same time, the people who have become wealthy have also begun to pursue a well-off life after food and clothing. Grain, a large number of which are used for deep processing.

As the first assistant of the Military Aircraft Department, Xu Shu was keenly aware of the inappropriateness. Although there is no danger of food for the time being, it is a peaceful world, and if there is a disaster, it will be a chain reaction immediately.

Emperor Hongwu first praised Xu Shu's insight, and at the same time said: "This is indeed a big problem, we can't wait for the crisis to arise before we can solve it, but we must take precautions." ”

Xun Yu, the second seat of the Military Aircraft Department, touched his beard, and went out to play: "The emperor, or the imperial court has decreed, it is forbidden to make wine without moderation. In this way, a large amount of food ...... can be saved. ”

Emperor Hongwu bowed his hand, "The people want to live a good life, and we can't throttle ......." ”

If you can't throttle, then you can only open source.

However, open source has always been more difficult than throttling, and it is subject to the technology of 1,800 years ago. It's hard to have an open-source approach that works in the short term.

While the hundred officials were pondering, a little eunuch knelt outside the palace gate. He bowed: "Your Majesty, General Sun Ce, Marquis of Wu, is back." ”

"Oh!" Qin Feng was stunned. Columbus has returned. He also put aside the worries of grain production for the time being, and said to the ministers: "Wu Hou goes to explore the New World, there must be a discovery, and he will be announced to the palace quickly." ”

After a while, Sun Ce took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, three generals, into the palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live......

Sun Ce was obviously much darker, but he had regained his former heroic appearance and had completely recovered from being bedridden for many years.

Qin Feng sat firmly, but said anxiously: "Bo Fu." What have you found in the past two years? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a new chart, and there is a safe route ......." Sun Ce handed the chart to the chief steward Dequan, and then took out a burden from his arms, unfolded it and put it on the ground.

Qin Feng took it and took it in his hand to take a look at it, but it was amazing, Sun Ce really discovered the Americas and Australia. There are also many, many islands in the sea. He was overjoyed, patted the imperial book case again and again, and said to everyone: "Okay, great. There is access to this chart. We, Daqin, have a complete map of the world! ”

Sun Ce accomplished the Columbus-like feat more than a thousand years ago, and Emperor Hongwu was very pleased. Though. This is due to the battleship he built. But, the merit of man. is the biggest.

"America, Australia!" Qin Feng pointed to the chart. Name the continent for posterity, "Good, good!" "Although Qin Feng has traveled through time, he is not a great scientist and cannot reproduce the scientific and technological knowledge of later generations. He can only rely on his own knowledge of later generations to lead his empire forward bit by bit.

He suddenly realized that there was still too much to do. I can't wait to drink a few bowls of tonic soup right away, and only then can I live a long time here, and then I can carry it out there.

Emperor Hongwu put down the chart, and was about to say two words of praise, and when he asked the Military Aircraft Department to draw up a reward, he realized that Sun Ce had an extra burden in front of him, and there were two things with different appearances, but they were both round and long.

"Ahh Emperor Hongwu's face changed greatly, and he was even more excited than he was to discover the New World, and he actually ran off the dragon platform. Baiguan was shocked, he didn't say a word, and copied it in his hand. He held the round dudu in one hand and the long dudu in the other, and the corners of his eyes trembled with excitement. The heart said that with these two crops, the people would become richer.

Seeing this, Sun Ce said, "Your Majesty, this is the minister in that ...... South America landed at the time of the discovery of crops. The local aborigines eat this kind of food, and it is very sweet. The minister thought that he must let the emperor taste it, so he shipped some back. ”

Qin Feng was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and with two crops, he came to the important ministers. Holding it in one hand, trembling and pointing in the other, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Baiguan had never seen Emperor Hongwu so excited, and he said in his heart that he had paid tribute to some rare things. I haven't seen it before, so I don't have to be so excited, right?

Sun Ce only thought that Emperor Hongwu wanted to ask the hundred officials what this was, and at the same time, he was 20,000 miles at sea, broadened his horizons, and had a big heart, so he said behind Qin Feng: "Everyone, you can recognize this thing. ”

Lao Jia Xu took a look, "This one of the red dudu must be some kind of South American yam." Because it grows thousands of miles away, it looks a little different. This is the same as the yam in Jiangnan is different from Jiangbei, and the yam in South America is farther away, so it is even more different. ”

"Makes sense!" The ministers nodded together.

Qin Feng was excited for a while, and then calmed down. I want to laugh when I hear it, and I want to return the yam of South America. So he took a golden rod and said, "What is this?" ”

"It's ......." Lao Jia Xu couldn't figure it out for a while.

However, Pang Tong came out again and said: "Your Majesty, this must be the wheat of South America." The growth environment is different, so there are some anomalies. ”

"High!" Qin Feng couldn't help but stretch out his thumb.

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment!" One old and one young bowed, very proud.

Qin Feng said the opposite, but he didn't expect Lao Jia Xu and Pang Tong to take it seriously.

"Your Majesty ......." Sun Ce on the side was anxious, and said in his heart that what the two military advisors said was a fart, and he was about to say the details. I saw Qin Feng hold up the two crops and said, "This is not a yam, nor is it a mutant wheat." ”

Emperor Hongwu held up the red-skinned, "This is called sweet potato, commonly known as sweet potato." He held up the golden one again, "This is not wheat, this is corn." ”

"Sweet potatoes, corn? What is it? "Hundreds of officials looked at each other, but the emperor named it, so it was called sweet potato and corn. The hundred officials bowed together: "The emperor Shengming, it was originally called sweet potato and corn." ”

The emperor wants to name the unknown in person, and the officials naturally want to give face. But Huang Gai and the others were dumbfounded, Sun Ce knocked his head and kowtowed, and shouted: "The emperor is really a saint in the world, and he can know everything in the world without leaving home, and the ministers admire ......." ”

The hundred officials were buzzing at first, stunned when they heard the words, and then shocked. What does it mean, the emperor is not named, but really knows what it is called?

How did the emperor know? The emperor didn't go to the Americas.

"The emperor is also a god and a man, and the courtiers' respect for the emperor is like a surging river, ...... endlessly." Pang Tong seized the opportunity and slapped the dragon's fart from the heart.

So, the hundred officials who understood it sang praises one by one. At the same time, I admire from the bottom of my heart, the emperor knows everything, there is nothing that the emperor doesn't know, and it can't be done if you don't admire.

Qin Feng pouted, and said in his heart that I came from the next generation, and I don't know sweet potatoes and corn, and I am still a fart. However, his heart moved, and he first asked Sun Ce and the others to get up, and asked, "Is it really called sweet potatoes and corn?" Not another name? ”

Sun Ce hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I can't understand the words of the natives, and the minister couldn't figure out what to call it at first, but just memorized the pronunciation." Today, when I heard the emperor say sweet potatoes and corn, I connected the pronunciation of those aborigines, and it really should be such a name. ”

"Sweet potatoes, corn. There are potatoes and rice, which is really the best name for food crops, and it is rare that the pronunciation is the same. The Emperor Shengming! ”

Only then did the officials understand the cause and effect, and the naming of the new species was also particular. For example, if you find a cat in the mountains, you should call it a bobcat, but if you call it a mountain dog, it is obviously not okay. The name given by Emperor Hongwu is in line with the naming of crops, and it is still the same as the pronunciation of the indigenous language, which is really amazing.

"It's so holy!" The ministers danced for a while.

"I see." Qin Feng also suddenly realized, he returned to the dragon platform, holding sweet potatoes and corn, just like holding a child.

Baiguan also stared at these two fresh crops, and kept muttering, "I don't know what it tastes like." ”

Sun Ce smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart that if you want to eat, Benhou will help you, and then played: "Your Majesty, this sweet potato and corn are very delicious......." ”

Qin Feng also heard the muttering of the hundred officials, and said, "Bo Fu, how many did you bring back?" ”

Sun Ce hurriedly said: "Each has three thousand catties, although the road is far away, but I have learned the preservation methods of the natives." Definitely edible ....... ”

The newly discovered species has never been eaten by anyone on the Eastern Continent, and the hundred officials are greedy one by one, looking at the Hongwu Emperor.

Qin Feng hasn't eaten this corn and sweet potato for many years, and it's fake to say that he doesn't want to eat it.

So, as soon as Emperor Hongwu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, he held a palace banquet, and more than four grades participated.

The emperor's court gave a banquet, this was a big event, and the imperial kitchen immediately took action.

Imperial kitchen.

"Did you order the main course?" The master wields a kitchen knife and a spoon.

"Order, sweet potatoes and corn!" When the little eunuch brought in a basket of sweet potatoes and corn. A group of masters with their sleeves and wiping the board were dumbfounded. Because no one has ever seen such an ingredient, I don't know whether to eat it fried or stewed. If you are blind, it is estimated that it will be difficult to protect the nine clans.

"Well, this father-in-law, can you go and ask, this ...... How, exactly? The head chef said with a red face.

"How?" Soon the news reached the ears of Emperor Hongwu, and he waved his hand, "It's too simple, sweet potatoes are roasted and eaten, and corn is boiled and eaten." You don't have to go to the skin, you don't have to put anything, you just put water. ”

After the news came back.

"It's as simple as that?" The masters who were studying sweet potatoes and corn were a little dumbfounded.

"Let's do it. The emperor and the adults are waiting to eat. The little eunuch brushed his sleeves away. The heart said that he was still a master, he couldn't even cook a dish, and he had to ask the emperor. The emperor knows everything, but he can't delay national affairs just for cooking.
