Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but shake his head.

"I don't understand life at all."

After leaving, Zhu Zhandong, the fifth child, can be regarded as understanding how significant what he is doing now.

It can be said that this expedition to Saibei, and even whether he can leave a name in history and include this Saibei in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, depends on these people under him.

In this case, how dare he slacken.

Half a month later.

Among the main camps of the Prairie Coalition Army.

Mahamu and Na Ye stood together, frowning at the recent battle report in his hand.

For some reason, the frequency of attempts to send supplies to the grasslands within the Ming Dynasty has dropped significantly recently.

Even in the last five or six days, I have not seen any supply convoy heading towards the grasslands of northern Cyprus.

"There's something wrong with the recent movements of the Ming army....." Mahamu said with a sad face.

"It is said that the grain and grass in the Ming army should have been almost consumed, and the supplies have not been delivered, they should be in a hurry, and the supply teams within the Ming Dynasty should also be more frequent, but now, not increasing but decreasing, in recent days, there is almost no team of the Ming army transporting supplies."

Listening to his grandfather's words, although he was also puzzled at first, he still said with relief: "Grandpa, is it possible that the Ming army knew that the supply line had been blocked by us everywhere, and they could only give up the supply when they couldn't think of a way?" ”

But as soon as these words came out, Na Mahamu immediately said: "Impossible! ”

"I know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Old Man Zhu, this person is very stubborn, and he will never give up his troops in Saibei because of such a little problem. What's more, now that they have a city where they are stationed, it is even more impossible for them to give up so easily. ”

While listening, he also guessed: "Could it be that the Ming army is ready to withdraw from the army, leaving only a part of the troops to defend the city?" In this way, the existing food of the Ming army should still be enough for them to eat. ”

Hearing this, Mahamu did not deny this speculation at the first time.

"This may not be impossible, but in this way, how is the withdrawal of the Ming army different from retreating?"

For a while, the grandfather and grandson were very puzzled by the various actions of the Ming army.

I don't understand why this Ming army can still be so determined in the face of the crisis of running out of food and grass.

However, the truth is clearly not what they think.

At this time, in the city of Dingbei.

The old man Zhu Di listened to the amount of grain and grass reported by the quartermaster in front of him, and his whole face was not very good-looking.

Because now with the grain and grass within the Ming army, it can only last for ten days of normal consumption.

If you want to delay longer, you must reduce the consumption of food and grass within the army a lot.

But once this happens, it is equivalent to telling the people in the army that the army is short of food and grass.

When the time comes, it will inevitably lead to a series of problems.

Being in Saibei, being on someone's turf, far from home, what could be more desperate than not being able to eat in the future.

And Zhu Di, who has been leading troops to fight all year round, naturally understands these things very well, so Zhu Di did not agree to the quartermaster's words that he would temporarily save the use of food.

However, as the commander of this army, Zhu Di, the emperor's old man, naturally cannot sit still.

It's just that what he can't understand is that the frequency of the boss's delivery of baggage supplies has been much slower recently.

It seems that after trying it a few times, I saw that there was no effect, so I simply gave up.

Now that the elite of the whole country has gathered here, the problem of their food is that they can give up if they give up?

Although now they can also leave some soldiers and horses to defend the city at any time, and the army retreats to the territory.

But in this way, isn't the boss forcing them to withdraw their troops?

Obviously, the old man Zhu Di didn't believe that the boss would do such a thing.

If he wants the army to retreat, he may have such thoughts, but if he uses such a method to force the army to retreat, even if he kills him, Zhu Di will not believe it.

He still knows a little about his son.

But now is obviously not the time to think about this, what he needs to do now is to solve the problem of army food as soon as possible.

Therefore, he sent someone to the edge of Nabai Haier Lake early in the morning and called his eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji back.

This kid has a clever brain, and he might be able to think of a good solution.

And at this time, on the edge of Lake Baihaier.

Quite a few soldiers have already begun to dig the foundations for the construction of the city.

When the straight road to Baihaier Lake was completed, at the request of Zhu Zhanji, the fifth Zhu Zhan Yuan also immediately began to build a new city.

Although it is a two-day trip from Dingbei City, it is still quite dangerous to say.

But fortunately, in addition to the 20,000 people used to build the city, they also had a transport team of 10,000 people, all of whom were the original cavalry of the army.

and fifteen thousand people stationed here.

With them, as long as the coalition forces of the various tribes of the steppe are not all dispatched, they can still resist.

Moreover, the Ming army is not blind, the location of the various tribes in the grassland is very clear, as long as they have large-scale movements, they will be discovered at the first time.

By that time, the two-day journey, the Ming army would soon be able to arrive.

Therefore, the safety is still guaranteed.

The most important thing is that the construction of the city here is obviously not as important as cutting off the supply lines of the Ming army.

In this way, those people of all the tribes of the steppe are all focused on cutting off the supply line, and they have no time to deal with them.

When Zhu Zhanji handed over the construction task here to the fifth Zhu Zhandong, he lived a leisurely life for more than half a month.

"His Royal Highness!"

Just when Zhu Zhanji called the two of them, they were about to roast a sheep on the grassland to eat.

A herald suddenly ran in front of Zhu Zhanji.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor has a decree to order His Royal Highness to return to Dingbei City immediately, and there are important matters to discuss."

Hearing the herald's words, Zhu Zhanji knocked on the sheep in front of him that had been almost picked, and sighed helplessly.

Then he said, "Let's go." ”

Because there were only a few of them on fast horses, the speed on the road was quite fast.

It took about a day to rush to Dingbei City.

But that's the next morning.

After Zhu Zhanji walked into the general's mansion built for the old man in Dingbei City.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the people present with sad faces at first glance, and the whole atmosphere was also very depressing.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji slowly came to the front of the old man Zhu Di and said, "Grandson to see the emperor." ”

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, raised his hand, and like the people around him, he frowned and asked, "How is the construction of the straight road?" ”

Facing the old man Zhu Di's inquiry, Zhu Zhanji replied: "The straight road has been built, and the next thing is to build the city." ”

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di nodded, and then said: "Since the things on your side are almost done, let that kid Zhan Dun do it, he also has experience after all." ”

"Now that our Ming army is stationed in this Dingbei City, although everything is fine, and it has also avoided the attack of many grassland tribes, there is one point, there is not much food and grass left for our army."

"Now there are 500,000 people stationed in our Ming army in this Dingbei city, and the food consumed every day is countless.

"And the armies sent by the tribes of the steppe chased and intercepted us everywhere on the lines where we transported supplies, and the supplies in the rear could not be delivered. Your kid's head has always been flexible, think about it, but what can you do? ”

Hearing the old man Zhu Di's inquiry, everyone around the venue focused their eyes on Zhu Zhanji.

They have been deliberating for a long time, but they have not been able to find a suitable solution. After discussion, the only thing that can solve the current situation is that the entire Ming army retreats to the territory, or directly withdraws the army, leaving some troops to defend here.

Either that, or lead a large army to deliver supplies together.

Although the former can temporarily solve the problem of supply logistics, the problem still exists, but it is temporarily alleviated because of the retreat of the army.

But if the armies of those steppe tribes are still constantly chasing and intercepting on the supply line, the final result will be the same.

Even in this Dingbei City, they had to give up for the sake of the soldiers in the city.

After all, the armies of those steppe tribes will not stop blocking the supply lines because of the retreat of a large number of troops in your city.

In other words, the only way now is to lead the army to personally transport the supply of grain and grass, and after receiving the grain and grass, return to Dingbei City again.

But such an approach is obviously very stupid.

Not to mention that the 500,000 troops of the Ming army were very bloated in this process, and it was very difficult to deploy.

Let's just say that these 500,000 troops go back and forth, how many supplies can be transported?

It was hard to transport more than ten days, half a month, and a month's grain, and most of the time consumed by the 500,000 troops going back and forth alone would have to be wasted.

Before they arrived in Dingbei City, they were about to start moving again, didn't they toss themselves.

This is clearly not a good solution.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji, who was standing in the center of the hall, did not have the slightest surprise after hearing the old man's question.

In fact, on the way here, he had already guessed that the old man must have called him back for this matter.

After all, there are not many things that the Ming army needs to do at the moment, and apart from this matter, he can hardly think of anything else that will stump the old man.

Therefore, in the face of the old man's inquiry, Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "Grandpa, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the problem of grain and grass for the time being, and your grandson has a way to solve it." ”

As soon as Zhu Zhanji said this, everyone present was stunned.

They thought that His Royal Highness the Taisun might have some good solution to the current predicament, but they didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Taisun would answer so easily.

Even the old man Zhu Di is the same.

His eyes widened, and he said, "Do you really have a way?" ”

Faced with the inquiry, Zhu Zhanji nodded again and said, "There is a way." ”

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di suddenly became anxious.

"There's a way, you can say it!"

Facing the old man's questioning, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and looked at the generals around him.

Hearing this scene, the old man Zhu Di thought that he was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he immediately said: "You all retreat first." ”

As soon as I said this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stopped the old man and said, "Grandpa, grandson didn't mean that. ”

"In short, the problem of food can be solved by my grandson, grandpa, you don't have to worry about it, the reason why my grandson doesn't say it now is because my grandson doesn't want the grassland tribes to see that our army is not short of food!"

"Now the eyes of all the tribes of the steppe are focused on cutting off the logistical supply line of our Ming army, since they think that such a method can force our Ming army to withdraw, then let them think so. We are now building a castle as soon as possible on the shores of Lake Nabehaier, and in less than three months a brand new castle will be built. ”

"If those steppe tribes find out that our army will not be short of food due to the cutting off of logistics supply lines, the soldiers will not be able to eat. They will surely have all their eyes on Lake Blazer, and at that point they will surely send troops to interrupt and stop our progress in building the city. ”

"The construction of the entire city will also be greatly delayed."

"Therefore, my grandson thinks that instead of letting them go to Baihaier Lake to disturb our construction process, it is better for our army to cooperate with them to put on a good show, so that they will be proud and happy that the logistics supply line of our Ming army has been cut off, and there is no food and grass, and they will soon be forced to withdraw their troops."

As Zhu Zhanji told his plan, everyone present understood.

Especially the old man Zhu Di who sat on the dragon chair.

When he discussed with his eldest grandson whether this straight road should be built to Baihaier Lake or the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he was very puzzled why he insisted on building this straight road to Baihaier Lake.

Although it does not play much role in the territory, it cannot do anything to cut off the enemy's own transportation and supply lines.

But this is a straight road to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as the connecting belt between their Dingbei City and the territory.

It won't work now, but it will be more effective in the future.

Unable to establish a stable transportation and supply line with the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then their Dingbei City is a lonely city hanging in the north after all.

But if a stable supply and demand supply line has been established with the territory, then this entire piece of land will become the land of their Ming Dynasty.

It's not an exaggeration to be directly incorporated into the territory.

At that time, seeing that this kid was so determined, there was not much argument.

It was only then that I understood why this kid was doing this.

The feeling is that this kid has solved the problem of food and grass for 500,000 people in his Ming army from the beginning, so he doesn't care about logistics and supplies at all.

In this case, the construction of a straight road to Lake Bohail is naturally the best option.

Because every time a city is built, the pressure on these steppe tribes increases.

The more land encroaches on them.

The larger the actual area of control of the Ming army.

If the establishment of a stable supply line is considered to stabilize the situation, then the construction of a new city is to expand the territory.

This is more direct than annihilating the enemy's tens of thousands of troops.

Because you killed tens of thousands of people, these lands are not necessarily yours, but now that the city is built, there is no need to fight, and these lands become your pockets.

After thinking about these truths, the old man Zhu Di didn't ask any more.

Since this kid in his own family has full confidence, he is still worried about nothing.

However, he still asked suspiciously: "Your father has not been in a hurry to transport supplies of grain and grass in the court recently, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

Apparently.

After the old man figured out Zhu Zhanji's plan, he also had an answer to his doubts about what his boss had done before.

Facing the old man's inquiry, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and said: "Grandpa also knows that my father is not in good health, and he can't let him worry too much about the war on our side, so my grandson secretly wrote a letter and explained it to my father." ”

After hearing his eldest grandson's words, the old man Zhu Di suddenly understood.

Really.

This has something to do with this stinky boy.

He was still puzzled before, the boss was so diligent in transporting grain and grass before, but he was intercepted by those grassland tribes, and he had been trying, why did he suddenly stop these days.

Dare to love that this kid and his father both understand that only he, an old man, is in the dark.

Thinking of this, the old man Zhu Di scolded: "As long as your father's body is not good, you can't worry too much, your grandfather and I can do it?" ”

In this regard, Zhu Zhanji also has something to say.

"If you tell your grandfather about this in advance, wouldn't this pretend?"

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di immediately laughed.

But if he thought about it carefully, if he had known about this in advance, he would not have stopped the recent annihilation of the living forces of those grassland tribes.

If the leaders of the various tribes of the steppe found that their Ming army did not seem to be so concerned about the supply problem, perhaps they would really see something wrong.

Thinking of this, the old man Zhu Di stopped asking.

However, after he drove everyone out of the room.

He still looked at his eldest grandson and asked, "Just tell me honestly, where are you going to get the food from?" ”

Listening to the old man's words, Zhu Zhanji smiled, then came to the old man's side, and whispered two words in his ear.

As Zhu Zhanji said the answer, the old man Zhu Di showed a very confused look in his eyes.

Until Zhu Zhanji's kid left with a smile, the old man Zhu Di was still full of doubts.

After telling the old man his answer, Zhu Zhanji didn't stay longer.

In this way, there were all soldiers in Dingbei City, and there was nothing to do with him, so after pulling more than a dozen carts of gunpowder in the army, he led people towards Nabai Haier Lake.

Late that night.

The old man Zhu Di, who should have fallen asleep a long time ago, got up and walked out of the city with twenty or thirty soldiers from the imperial camp after the King of Han and King Zhao were called by him.

The whole process did not alarm anyone.

As everyone came to the outside of the north city of Nading, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han on the side, couldn't help but ask: "What are you bringing us here to do outside the city this big night?" ”

Hearing the words of the second child, Zhu Gaosui, the third child on the side, also looked over.

Not only the two of them, but even Fan Zhong beside the old man and the dozens of soldiers in the imperial front camp were also very puzzled.

Obviously, the purpose of the old man's trip is not clear to everyone.

"Yes, Dad, this big night, the night breeze on the grassland is cold, if you have anything to do, just explain it to our brothers, your body is blowing."

However, in the face of everyone's inquiries, the old man Zhu Di did not give them any reply.

He just pointed to the land outside the city and said, "Dig! ”

Hearing the old man's words, the second Zhu Gaoxu and the third Zhu Gaosui suddenly showed a confused look.

Dig?

What are you digging for?

Could it be that what treasures are buried in the land of Saibei?

I couldn't help it, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, asked again: "Dad, what do you want us to dig?" What can be dug up in this place? ”

However, when the old man Zhu Di heard his words, he frowned and said, "If you are told to dig it, you can dig it, where is there so much." ”

Seeing the old man say this, the second Zhu Gaoxu and the third Zhu Gaosui glanced at each other, so they didn't say anything more, mentioned the tools they had prepared before, and dug up on the clearing.

Seeing that King Han and King Zhao had made a move, Fan Zhong on the side also hurriedly took the brothers in the imperial camp to start working.

Soon.

With the continuous excavation of the people.

Under the light of the torch, a soldier of the Imperial Front Battalion suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? What is it? ”

Although the man's voice of surprise was not loud, now everyone was outside the city, and there was darkness and silence all around.

His low voice of doubt was immediately heard by everyone present.

Before the people around him could make any moves, the old man Zhu Di, who was standing on the side, was the first to walk over.

"Take it, I'll see."

Hearing the emperor's words, the soldier naturally immediately handed over the things in his hand to the hands of the emperor Zhu Di.

Fan Zhong on the side also hurriedly approached the torch.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, a thing covered with dirt appeared in everyone's eyes.

Looking at this thing in front of him, the old man Zhu Di was like everyone around him, he had never seen it.

Puzzled, he took a dagger from the hand of a soldier and cut through the dirt-stained thing in his hand.

And when the thing was cut open, the white flesh in it was immediately revealed.

Just when the people around are still wondering, what the hell is this thing and what does it do?

The old man Zhu Di was shocked by the people around him, and cut off a small piece of it and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the second child Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "Dad! You can't just eat this stuff! I don't know what this thing is! ”

The third on the side, Zhu Gaosui and Fan Zhong, said the same.

But the old man Zhu Di ignored them at all, and after eating a piece, he still felt that it was not enough, so he cut a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

As the old man Zhu Di continued to chew, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Then, as if he had seen through everything, he handed over the thing in his hand to the second Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and said, "You can taste it too." ”

Seeing that this thing was surrounded by dirt, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, naturally didn't want to eat this thing.

I don't have much appetite when I look at it.

However, when he saw that his old man had eaten it and asked himself to eat it, the second Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to follow the old man's words, cut off a piece of the clean meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gradually, a sweet sensation emerged in the mouth.

As you chew it, the sweet taste becomes more and more intense.

This made him Zhu Gaoxu a little surprised.

Looking at the dirt all around, it looks dirty, and it doesn't taste good, but it's not bad.

Even the sweet feeling is very refreshing.

Even if you eat it as a fruit, there is no problem at all.

Then he handed over the things in his hand to the third eldest Zhu Gaosui on the side, and Fan Zhong to taste them separately.

After everyone tasted it, Zhu Gaosui, the third child with a good memory, couldn't help but recall suspiciously: "Dad, second child, how can I remember that I have eaten this taste?" ”

"What does it taste like..... Oh! I remember! ”

"When we were on an outing as a family, Zhu Zhanji's kid ate it when he made us hot pot!"

With the words of the third Zhu Gaosui, the second Zhu Gaochu and the old man Zhu Di also remembered the beginning.

I think I've really eaten this thing!

"I remember, the eldest nephew said at the time, what is this called? Sweet potato?? ”

"That's right! Sweet potato! It's called sweet potato! ”

Listening to the words of his two sons, the old man Zhu Di naturally recalled these things, but he didn't come here at this time to recall the past.

Then he said to the second and third children, as well as Fan Zhong and the people in the imperial camp: "Keep digging!" ”

"Yes!"

After understanding what the old man wanted them to dig, this time everyone did not hesitate and began to act.

And as they became more and more skilled in digging, more and more things were dug up.

After digging by dozens of people, it took about a quarter of an hour to dig up a large pile of sweet potatoes in an open space in front of the city gate.

In addition to these sweet potatoes that have just been tasted, there are a whole bunch of things that look similar to the sweet potatoes on the outside, but the flesh inside is white.

This thing that was dug up later tasted colorless and tasteless, and even tasted a little jerky.

It's not tasty.

Looking at the living treasure that the two of them began to spit out after eating this thing, the old man Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

I just don't know if the old man is happy because of these things dug up, or just laughing at these two living treasures.

But after spitting up, the third Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but say: "Dad, this place is quite hidden, it's only been a long time since I dug up, and I dug up so much." You see, it's just such a place, but I don't know if there are other places. ”

But after saying something in surprise, the third Zhu Gaosui also continued: "But, Dad, you took us out at night just to dig up these things?" If you want to eat, just ask our brothers to dig it, and do you still need to come out in person? ”

However, what the third child Zhu Gaosui didn't realize was that the old man Zhu Di at this time, after hearing the first half of the third child's words, the whole person was stunned.

didn't listen to his sycophants at all.

The old man Zhu Di turned around and looked at the things around him, like a small mountain.

Then he asked the third Zhu Gaosui and the second Zhu Gaoxu: "You say, how much does such a bunch of things weigh?" ”

At this time, under this pitch darkness, after hearing the words of the old man Zhu Di, everyone couldn't see any expression on his face, thinking that it was just a casual question, so they looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground and said: "If these two piles are added together, how can there be seventy or eighty catties?" ”

After hearing the words of the second child, Zhu Di seemed to understand something, and while he was shocked in his heart, he hurriedly said to everyone: "Quick! Keep digging! I've dug up this piece of it! ”

Seeing that the old man suddenly became a little excited, everyone was a little puzzled.

Could it be that these two piles of things are not enough for the old man to eat?

But since the old man said everything, they couldn't say anything, so they hurriedly followed the old man's words and continued to dig.

A whole hour of time.

Under the excavation of these dozens of people, piles of sweet potatoes and unknown things were dug up.

Neatly stacked in a pile.

Under the special instruction of the old man, the area they excavated was about seventy or eighty feet.

The length and width are almost seventy or eighty feet.

According to the calculation, it is basically about one acre of land.

It's not accurate, but it's not about the same.

When all these things were piled on top of that cart, there were more than a dozen carts!

This scene simply stunned everyone present.

Although everyone was surprised just now, so many things were dug out in such a small amount of land.

But when they really dug carefully, they found that there were so many goods hidden in this piece of land!

"That's too much....."

The third child, Zhu Gaosui, looked at these in front of him in surprise, there were so many sweet potatoes that their group of people dug up unconsciously!

More than a dozen carts were loaded!

It's just incredible.

However, at this time, everyone was surprised only because these sweet potatoes seemed to be a lot on the surface.

But what they didn't know was that the old man Zhu Di who was standing beside them at this time had more than they thought!

These generals can't think of too many things, but although Zhu Di likes to fight, he is not bad at governing the country!

He was well aware of what these sweet potatoes stood for.

How much wheat and how much rice can be produced in an acre of land, he Zhu Di couldn't be more clear.

And now the area they are digging is only about one acre of land.

But look at the scene in front of you, how much has been produced??

You know, whether it's wheat or rice, it still has to go through some processing steps after production to get finally edible rice and flour.

There is also loss in between.

Look at the sweet potatoes in front of you.

More than a dozen cars!

As long as it is washed with water, all the internal meat is ready to be eaten.

How many of these sweet potatoes are there?

Almost five or six times the yield of wheat and rice!

！

Five or six times more!

！

The weight of these sweet potatoes and the thing that seems to be called potatoes in front of me will never be less than four or five thousand catties!

It is the best rice field in the south, and the best rice produced in one acre of land is only eight or nine hundred catties!

This is still the best rice field in the Jiangnan region to achieve this yield.

Ordinary rice fields will never reach this level!

If these sweet potatoes and potatoes can be used for large-scale cultivation.......

As a result, Zhu Di really couldn't imagine.

It's amazing!

In order to test whether this output is a coincidence because of a special place, Zhu Di even said: "This piece, continue to dig!" ”

Hearing the old man's words, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, on the side were stunned.

"Dad, you're still digging, you've dug so much."

"What nonsense! Dig! "At this time, the old man Zhu Di, where does he have the kung fu to talk to them.

He desperately wanted the answer to his guess.

And with the continuous excavation of the crowd again.

Soon....

As before, more than a dozen truckloads of sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug up.

See this result.

The old man Zhu Di let out a long sigh of relief, and then in the surprised eyes of everyone, he suddenly laughed plainly.

Seeing that the old man was so happy, everyone on the side was stunned.

They all glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what the emperor was happy about.

"Alright, stop digging. Take these things and go back to the city! ”

"By the way, Fan Zhong, early tomorrow morning, go and call Zhu Zhanji's stinky boy back to me!"

"Yes!"

After the people returned to the city.

All night, Fan Zhong, who was on duty outside the emperor's house, would hear the emperor's laughter from the house from time to time.

I don't know what I'm happy about, this laughter lasted all night.

Even those who don't understand the inside story think that the emperor is crazy.

Early the next morning.

is Zhu Di, who hasn't slept all night, is still full of energy, and he has a smile on his face wherever he goes.

The generals who came to report the matter were all surprised.

I don't know what happy things the emperor has encountered, happy to be like this.

You must know that the emperor's face is rigid on weekdays.

On the shores of Lake Baihaier.

Zhu Zhanji, who was roasting a hare to eat, soon received a decree from the old man in Dingbei City asking him to go back.

After hearing the words of the person in front of him, Zhu Zhanji knew very well what the old man was going to do when he asked him to go back, so he directly said to the herald who came to deliver the message: "I won't go back, you can help me bring two sentences to the emperor." ”

"Sweet potatoes are 2,500 pounds per acre, and potatoes are 5,000 pounds per acre!"

Listening to the words of His Royal Highness the Taisun in front of him, the herald looked puzzled: "Your Highness, the emperor's will is for you to go back in person.....

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "I understand, you just need to bring the words back." ”

Seeing this, the herald didn't want to say anything more, but he was still puzzled: "Your Highness, what do these two sentences mean?" Subordinate..... The subordinates didn't understand it. ”

But Zhu Zhanji said: "You don't have to understand, pass the words to the emperor, and the emperor will naturally know." ”

Hearing this, the herald had no choice but to take his leave and salute, and then left.

The next day.

When the herald returned to Dingbei City.

Regarding the news of his eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di, who had been waiting for two days, was discussing something with the generals in the army at this time.

When he saw the herald return, he immediately summoned him.

"What about the Taisun people?"

Seeing that he was the only one, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning and asked.

Hearing the emperor's question, the herald hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, His Royal Highness Taisun said that he will not come back this time, and there is too much time wasted on the road." asked his subordinates to bring two sentences to the emperor. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly frowned and said, "What are you saying, say it." ”

The herald immediately repeated the two sentences that the grandson had said.

"Sweet potatoes are 2,500 pounds per acre, and potatoes are 5,000 pounds per acre!"

As the herald's words came out, everyone present was very puzzled by the two sentences in his mouth, and did not understand what these two sentences meant.

What sweet potatoes, what potatoes.

What does 2500 catties and 5000 catties mean per acre?

Those who had not experienced the events of that night naturally did not know what these words meant.

may be standing on the side, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui, and the commander of the imperial camp Fan Zhong, but they all followed the old man Zhu Di out that night.

Even those sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug by their own hands.

If they hadn't figured out why the old man Zhu Di was so happy at that time, why he was digging these things.

But now, after hearing that this matter is related to the grandson Zhu Zhanji, he immediately thought of what the grandson Zhu Zhanji said here before.

Don't worry about supplies, food has already been prepared.

Could it be ......

What they dug up that night was the grain and grass that Taisun prepared for the army?

There are also two sentences from the grandson.

The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is 2,500 catties, and the yield of potatoes per mu is 5,000 catties!

That night, they probably didn't have a clear idea of how much the potatoes and sweet potatoes weighed.

I don't understand what all of this means.

But when this detailed number comes to mind, they can't help but compare it to the rice and wheat.

In this comparison, they immediately realized the meaning of these two sentences.

Moment.

The Han King Zhu Gaoxu, the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui, and Fan Zhong of the Imperial Front Camp who were standing on the side were all stunned in the field.

With an incredible gaze, he looked at the people who had participated in this matter that night.

When they saw the same shock in each other's eyes, they dared to believe that what they heard was not wrong!

These people just don't farm anymore, but in the era of feudal dynasties, how can they not know how much wheat and rice are produced per mu.

How could you not know that all the people of the Ming Dynasty rely on the grain from wheat and rice.

Today, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes per mu is four or five times that of wheat and rice!

What does this mean?

And what are the implications?

I understand it when I think about it with my ass.

In an instant, they finally understood why the old man Zhu Di called them all out at night that night, and only brought so many people.

I had to let them dig up both plots of land.

It's not that the old man Zhu Di wants to eat these things at all.

It's calculating, calculating, calculating how much these potatoes and sweet potatoes can produce!

But now, Zhu Zhanji's kid has broken the heavenly machine in two sentences.

The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is 2,500 catties, and the yield of potatoes per mu is 5,000 catties!

After the initial shock, King Zhao and Fan Zhong looked at Zhu Di on the dragon chair.

At this time, the old man Zhu Di just showed a smiling gesture.

But they who understand everything can see the old man

At this moment, he must be suppressing the true emotions in his heart.

Because such a discovery is simply appalling!
