When the emperor spoke, everyone immediately silenced their footsteps and silently followed behind His Majesty the Emperor.

It's just that everyone has a smile on their faces.

There is always an inexplicable pride in the officials.

They always think that as long as the world develops according to their vision, the world will be peaceful.

When the monarch is fond of martial affairs, and even pro-conquest of the territory, they will think that this is the beginning of the imminent instability of the world.

A qualified monarch should be wise and introverted, trust them, and be close to the affairs of the peasants.

Even in the vast majority of the time, most of the profits from farming and mulberry go into the pockets of these people.

Therefore, when they saw the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, pouting his buttocks, pulling up his trouser sleeves, and carrying the same pouting butt to the sky, the Shanglin Yuan prison officials meticulously cutting sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field.

Everyone believes that this is the most meaningful manifestation of the Ming Dynasty, and its importance is even far greater than the unconfirmed yield of twenty stone acres.

And in the sweet potato field.

Zhu Yunxi, who bent down, smelled dirt in his nose, mixed with the pungent smell of diluted with farmhouse fertilizer, his fair and clean hands were covered with mud, and his fingers were already black.

Because I have bent over for a long time, I have moved a lot, and the sweat on my face is dripping on the ridge of the ground.

However, this gave Zhu Yunxi a great sense of steadiness.

It only takes about four months for this sweet potato field that is not full of cuttings to be harvested for the first time.

In the next year, Zhu Yunxi hopes to plant sweet potatoes at the foot of the entire Shenlie Mountain. In the next year, we will probably be able to plant the entire land around Yingtian City.

In three or five years, planting sweet potatoes in the way of sweet potato vine cuttings can cover most of the Zhili.

Yuan Sutai, who cut sweet potatoes on the opposite ridge, was more meticulous and attentive than Zhu Yunxi.

The sweet potato vine branches and leaves in the bamboo basket next to him were almost exhausted.

Yuan Sutai said loudly, "I never thought that a few sweet potato vines could plant so much land. The minister was wondering if he could wait for these sweet potato branches and leaves to grow into sweet potato vines again, and the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor could take the branches and leaves and then take cuttings. In this way, he is confident that he will be able to plant this sweet potato field full of sweet potatoes this year."

This is something that has been proactive.

Zhu Yunxi never thought that Yuan Sutai would think of a plan to accelerate the expansion of sweet potato planting scale and expand next year's sweet potato seeds so quickly.

He groaned slightly, thinking for a moment.

These cuttings take about a month to take root and sprout, and at most two months to climb all over the ridges.

If this is calculated, this sweet potato field is very likely to be planted this year, and it is guaranteed to grow sweet potatoes.

After all, Yingtianfu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not as fast as the winter in the north, as long as there is more top dressing.

Zhu Yunxi immediately smiled: "This method is feasible. In fact, when the time comes, the supervisor can also taste this sweet potato vine, as long as you add some oil and water to stir-fry, it will be a delicious plate."

Can you eat sweet potato vines?

Yuan Sutai hesitated for a moment, and looked down at the last sweet potato branch that had been cut into the ridge of the ground and had been watered with fertilizer.

"You're saying that this sweet potato vine is also edible?"

….

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was smiling, stood behind the two with his hands behind his back, and asked curiously and with some doubts.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "Three or two months, picking leaves, if there are a few pieces of oil residue put in, it is the most ......."

Zhu Yunxi, who suddenly realized that something was wrong, turned his head with a solemn face, and saw his old man with his hands behind his back, leaning over to look at him.

Behind the old man, there are also the crown prince and a group of courtiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "What's the most?"

"The most ...... It's the most delicious." Zhu Yunxi replied in a low voice, and then asked curiously, "Why did you leave the palace?" And ......."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi looked at the large group of officials behind him with greasy smiles on their faces.

「

Meritorious cover of the three emperors, virtue over the five emperors." Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, he straightened his body, and stared at Zhu Yunxi who was squatting in front of him with deep eyes: "If Da Ming really produces twenty stones per mu, my Da Ming can surpass the three emperors and five emperors in merit, and Da Ming can also restart Feng Zen!"

With the old man's mouth.

Zhu Yunxi saw the officials behind him, and immediately waved his sleeves neatly, his face instantly became solemn, all of them were high-spirited and upright, and then his demeanor was calm and rigorous, he bowed down meticulously, raised his arms with his hands together, and covered his head.

"Taisun Xianming, find a good seed, the good luck of the community, Ze is Li Min. Eternal merit, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is boundless, and on the day of the harvest, the Ming Dynasty is enough to seal Zen."

Sealing the Zen ......

Zhu Yunxi's eyes moved slightly.

Obviously, the old man and these officials in front of him heard the sweet potato seeds he got from the Yishang today, and probably also heard his remarks about the yield of twenty stones per mu in Shanglin Yuanjian.

Therefore, they were all moved, and they wanted to come and see in person to confirm whether there would be an auspicious occasion of producing 20 stones per mu in the Ming Dynasty.

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

That's it." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "Over the years, there have been quite a few maritime merchants from the land of Europa who have come to the ship. The sea was turbulent, and many of the merchant fleets were destroyed and scattered on many islands in the South Sea.

When my grandson went to Jiaozhi Road with the army, he also got a record of the Yiren Maritime Merchants by chance, and only then did he learn about these miraculous crops."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi quickly glanced at everyone present.

Then he added: "It's a pity that the record book is so old that after my grandson got it, he just flipped through it and it was completely shattered. In a hurry, the grandson had to write down the small amount of bounty that he had now."

When everyone heard this explanation, they couldn't help but sigh in unison, feeling sorry for those things that must not have been written down by the grandson.

Zhan Hui pondered for a moment, frowned and sighed lightly, "In this way, it is also my luck to be Ming. If that record is not discovered by His Highness, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will turn to dust. Thinking about it like this, God really bless me and bless the people of the Central Plains!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Therefore, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles should be the truth."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, and his eyes couldn't stop being satisfied: "You did a good job."

Zhu Yunxi said two sentences with a modest and low-key bow.

Among the officials who came with him at this time, Yu Xin, the left attendant of the household department, who had been a low-key official for the past two years, suddenly crossed two or three ridges and arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi.

I saw Yu Xin bow his hand and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Your Highness, can this sweet potato really yield twenty stones per mu?" Could it be that this is also recorded in the record that His Highness found? If sweet potatoes enter our Central Plains, the soil and water are not adapted, will the yield per mu be affected?"

That's the key question.

How much can the yield per mu of sweet potatoes reach?

….

In fact, in the hearts of most of the people present, as long as the yield of this sweet potato can have six or seven stones, they dare to encourage the emperor to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.

Confusing Zen is the highest honor and praise of a king.

But again, it was a compliment and glory to the king's courtiers!

However, before Zhu Yunxi could answer, Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, who was following him, had already stood up under the surprised gaze of everyone.

Yuan Sutai, who was covered in mud and wearing coarse linen clothes, where did he have the appearance of a Ming Cong Sanpin master.

It's better that he is an old farmer hired by the Yamen of the Shanglin Garden.

However, Yuan Sutai had a tense face and walked solemnly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi.

"The minister, the Lin Yuan Supervisor, the left supervisor, Yuan Sutai, Your Majesty, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes will definitely not be less than twenty stones per mu!"

Yuan Sutai, who wanted to feed the entire Ming Dynasty, rarely saw the official appearance now, and he could say as concise and clear as he could.

He said that sweet potatoes can yield no less than 20 stones per mu, and the people present really began to look forward to it.

After all, the rice with more than 100 ears of rice planted outside Yingtian City today was made by Yuan Sutai and his Shanglin Yuan supervisor.

It was also because of this incident that the original small Shanglin Yuan Supervisor Yamen has now become a Yamen from the third grade, which can be compared with the Yamen of Taichang Temple and Dali Temple.

Yuan Sutai seemed to not know the rules of these officialdoms, and when he saw that everyone didn't speak, he thought that these people didn't believe what he said.

As a result, Yuan Sutai's face turned red for a while, and then he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if the yield of sweet potatoes per mu cannot reach twenty stones this year, the minister will ask for his resignation!"

There was a surprise in everyone's hearts.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly interjected and grabbed Yuan Sutai: "Daming still needs Yuan Jianzheng to cultivate more good crops!"

Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said to the old man, "Grandpa, in fact, now, my grandson still has five edible sweet potatoes in his hands. It was all found on the Fortune ship of the Franc machine merchant Fan Worm. The sweet potato vines that are planted here today have those five sweet potatoes growing underneath."

And sweet potatoes are there!

The officials present immediately sounded a noise.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly slapped the eldest grandson on the back of the head, and then glared and said, "Since there are sweet potatoes, why don't you take us over to take a look!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Grandpa, please come here."

Pointing in a direction, I saw everyone going to the place where they had put their sweet potatoes.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi turn his head and glared at Yuan Sutai, who had just been pulled behind by himself.

"Shanglin Yuan Prison still depends on you, and whether the stomachs of the people of the Ming Dynasty can be full or not depends on you. In the future, I will not dare to say such things as resigning!"

Yuan Sutai put on a simple smile on his face tanned by the sun.

"The minister is to believe what His Highness said."

Harm!

I'll sell it to the Americas to find rubber trees!

Zhu Yunxi glared at Yuan Sutai again, and hurriedly caught up with the old man and the others who were already in front of a pergola next to the sweet potato field.

Before he could get into the crowd, Zhu Yunxi heard an exclamation from the crowd.

"Sweet potatoes are so big?"

….

"This smallest one must weigh eight or nine taels!"

"It's amazing! It's amazing!"

"Someone! Hurry up and weigh this largest sweet potato, we don't think this sweet potato will weigh four or five pounds!"

「……」

"Your Majesty, you weigh it first, this sweet potato is really big!"

"Xiangrui! God bless you!"

"Get on the scales!"

In the crowd, there were bursts of amazement.

I don't know which ministry official, under the gaze of everyone, personally took the scale rod and put the largest piece of sweet potato.

Less.

When Zhu Yunxi finally arrived at the old man's side.

The whole crowd was in an uproar.

"It's fifty-six taels and three cents and four cents!"

"Fifty-six taels and three cents and four cents!"

"Put them all on the scales!"

The crowd was noisy again.

Zhu Yunxi saw that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu personally put the remaining four sweet potatoes in the weighing pan.

In the blink of an eye.

"Xiangrui!"

"Your Majesty, this sweet potato is really my Chao Xiangrui!"

"Five pieces of sweet potatoes, a total of one hundred and thirty-two taels and six cents!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to Daming!"

Zhu Yunxi, who was standing beside the old man, rolled his eyes.

One hundred and thirty-two taels.

That's more than thirteen pounds.

It's just five sweet potatoes.

If it is changed to the Ming system, it will weigh eight or nine pounds.

This is not auspicious, what else can be called auspicious!

In the blink of an eye, with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi as the center, there was already a kneeling around.

There was emotion on everyone's faces.

Zhu Biao on the side gently poked his son's waist, causing Zhu Yunxi's doubts.

"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that it is impossible to be exact at this time, and it is better to wait until the sweet potatoes planted in my Ming Dynasty are harvested before weighing."

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, and instantly understood what his father meant.

This is the meaning of my father's love for his fists.

said that it can be determined that the sweet potatoes will arrive in Daming, and they can still have the original yield.

If it is erected by these courtiers now, if there is no yield of twenty stones per mu when you look back, is this auspicious rui still considered auspicious?

If not, whose pot is it?

Zhu Yuanzhang also understood the stakes, snorted twice, and slapped the back of Zhu Yunxi's head again in front of everyone.

"This kid is lucky. Let's just wait to look back and see how many stones of sweet potatoes can be planted in our Daming."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, and his eyes swept to the sweet potato field next to him.

An oak barrel

can grow ten pounds of sweet potatoes.

How much can these three or four divisions of land grow now?

There must be seven or eight stones!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to let the time go up to three or five months, and directly saw the day the sweet potatoes were ripe.

And Zhan Hui, the official who was full of red face on the side, glanced at the five sweet potatoes that were still placed on the weighing pan, and his eyes rolled.

"Your Majesty, I just don't know what this sweet potato tastes like."

"If you don't want to be delicious, as long as you can make people swallow, it's a great thing."

The appetite of the Central Plains people is tolerant, but at the same time picky.

As long as the people of the Central Plains say that this thing cannot be eaten, it is absolutely not edible.

Even if it is a delicious thing that is rumored, as long as the people of the Central Plains don't eat it, it is really impossible to swallow.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sweet potato in front of him, and he was also curious.

But he still turned his head to look at the eldest grandson beside him: "This sweet potato, do you have any other plans?"

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.

Originally, he was going to put away these five sweet potatoes, and if the sweet potato vines from the cuttings in the sweet potato field in front of him could not grow, he would use these five sweet potatoes to make the final seeds next year.

It's just that now, the old man obviously looks like he wants to taste it.

Zhu Yunxi then spoke: "Grandpa, these two biggest pieces, the taste is probably not good, please leave it for grandpa to put it away for his grandson, and it will be useful to go back and guard against it." The other three pieces ......."

"The other three sweet potatoes, can grandpa try them today?"

Hearing that there was also an opportunity to taste it on the spot, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally expressed his yearning and expectation.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded: "Please also ask grandpa to rest for a while, and grandpa will be ready for grandpa."

Then he looked at the courtiers present.

There was a hint of confusion on his face.

"Just sweet potatoes are just these three pieces......
