Open the sea, treasure banknote, Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

After Zhu Jianji directly decided on these three things, the remaining matters in steelmaking, gunpowder, chemical industry, glass, electric power, transportation, etc., must be refined to the industry.

Not a big decision.

There is no need to discuss with Jiuqing and the Fourteenth Squire.

As for the Dengzhou Shipyard, it is the handwriting of the East Palace, and it is necessary for the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with the Ministry of Household to get the money and the Ministry of War to write, and when the time comes, it is to find Hang Min, Chen Xun and Yu Qian, so there is no need for everyone to discuss together.

Decision-making is decision-making, but we can't make everyone feel that their prince is too dictatorial.

Well, although also dictatorial.

At least make a show for everyone.

I, Zhu Jianji, also "convince people with reason and convince people with virtue"!

Said: "Today, Your Majesty issued an order to invite your family to the Qianqing Palace for a banquet, which is the meaning of Lone, and you have also seen that the banquet prepared by the Imperial Dining Room was withdrawn by Lone's order, and this move is not that Lone has any dissatisfaction with your Qing family, but it is because Lone wants to invite you to eat today, which is a crop that has never appeared in my Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and Lone even thinks that it can be called a Zhenguo artifact at the moment of my Ming Dynasty." ”

Ministers: "??? ”

Just one crop, called the artifact of rejuvenating the country, is over.

That's not what the big words say.

Zhu Jianji waved his hand, motioned to Shu Liang next to the door of the Dongnuan Pavilion to step forward, and asked, "Did you send the things over there in the East Palace?" ”

Shu Liang said: "I sent it over, but Dai Yi hasn't come over yet." ”

Zhu Jianji nodded, "I have to prepare for a while." ”

He said, "Let Li Min bring in the things sent from the East Palace." ”

Soon, Li Min came in with a silver plate and put it on the imperial desk.

The ministers were confused.

What is this?

The light red skin also looks weird, some like hammers, some like cucumbers, if it weren't for the mud on it, everyone would think it was a novel fruit.

Zhu Jianji got up with a smile, picked up a knife from the silver plate, and said to Shu Liang: "Fetch a basin of water." ”

Wash it off after a few moments.

Then take a knife and peel the skin.

The ministers scrambled to watch, and when they saw that His Highness was peeling, someone suddenly asked, "Your Highness, is this a fruit?" ”

I don't understand the medicine in the gourd of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Please eat fruit?

No matter how novel it is, it's just fruit.

It is said that His Royal Highness's move should be to do the finishing work for the decision to establish the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but what benefits can a fruit bring to Daming agriculture, it is not related.

Zhu Jianji quickly peeled off the skin and cut it into pieces.

A jade plate placed in a silver platter.

Said to Shu Liang: "Give a piece to every minister in the palace, well, Lao Zhu also share a piece." ”

I won't eat it myself.

It's not delicious.

But it can also be eaten because it has moisture and sweetness.

After a moment of distribution, the ministers looked at the lumpy "fruit" in their hands, although there was nothing on their faces, but the rejection in their hearts...... The scholars of the feudal dynasty were mostly pedantic.

And pedantic readers are actually difficult to accept new things.

Zhu Jianji smiled, well, this smile was a little dark, but there was no other malice, and said to the ministers: "Try it first, don't worry, it won't make everyone diarrhea." ”

Speaking of which, he glanced at Yu Qian and Lu Yu, who were old ministers.

Shake your head slightly.

Signal you old people not to eat, in case you really have diarrhea and something wrong, you are all the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, and you are not willing to bear such a loss.

When the time comes, Wei Nanfeng will say "Prince Zhu Jianji took novelty things, and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty tasted it in Qian, and the diarrhea did not stop", Lao Tzu had to become a laughing stock.

It is certain that he will be scolded by future generations!

Ministers: "......"

The more His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, the more uncertain everyone felt in their hearts.

Why is it important to emphasize that you won't have diarrhea?

Explain that you may have diarrhea!

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also quietly signaled to Yu Qian and Lu Yu to ask the old ministers not to eat, which is obviously to let the young and strong courtiers test the poison.

But the prince's words, everyone did not dare to disobey.

No way, let's eat.

Outcome......

As the prince's uncle, Hang Min must support his nephew, the first one put it in his mouth and took a light bite, chewed for a while, and his eyes lit up, "Sweet, it's quite crispy!" ”

Seeing this, everyone was relieved and tried one after another.

Zhu Jianji's old father-in-law, Bai Gui, the official of the ministry, covered his face with his sleeve, chewed and swallowed it, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, which foreign tribute fruit is this?" ”

Zhu Jianji smiled, "Bai Shangshu is wrong, it's not a fruit." ”

After a pause, "It can be used as a staple food!" ”

The ministers were shocked inexplicably.

This is obviously the taste of fruit, why does His Highness say that it can be used as a staple food?

At this moment, a burst of fragrance came.

Dai Yi asked to see him outside.

Zhu Jianji smiled and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, move next door and prepare a gluttonous feast for your families!" ”

On the table next door, the palace maid had already set up a bunch of novel food.

There are steamed, yellow-orange-orange ones, which are very good-looking, such as steamed pumpkin.

There is a grilled ...... It's a novelty.

There are also rice mixed and boiled into porridge, and there are also dry rice.

Since it is a banquet, everyone must be full, so there is also the most popular kimchi in Shuzhong, so it is convenient for everyone to eat some porridge or dry rice with kimchi.

Zhu Jianji smiled and said, "Let's try it." ”

A look of unkind manners.

Yu Qian picked up the rice bowl and looked at it carefully for a while, "The yellow one in here is the one that everyone ate in Dongnuan Pavilion before?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "Yes, Yu Shaobao can taste it." ”

If it's cooked, it won't have diarrhea.

Yu Shaobao tasted it and said, "Slightly sweet, powdery!" ”

With Yu Qian's proofing, the rest of the courtiers were not restrained, and they tried it one after another, not to mention, it was a very novel taste, and the Ming ministers who were used to eating greasy were a little unable to stop eating.

Especially the kind that is roasted and delicious and glutinous, it is eaten cleanly by everyone!

But the reader...... It's still more Sven.

Zhu Qiyu also ate happily.

Soon, everyone figured out what the problem was.

Chen Ruyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "The satiety of this thing is so fast and strong, it is still above the pumpkin, dare to ask Your Highness, what kind of novel thing is this?" ”

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "It's called sweet potato, it was brought back from Luzon Island by a lonely trading house, because it is red skin, so it is also called sweet potato, the nutritional value is very high, it can be used as a staple food, the most important thing, as long as it is planted properly, it can yield about 2,000 catties per mu, as for this planting method properly, how to get a proper method, it needs to be studied by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Ministry of Agriculture!" ”

The ministers were shocked, especially Lin Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, blurted out, "The yield per mu is about 2,000 catties?!" ”

Horror Ruoss?

Zhu Jianji nodded, "Well, Lone is conclusive, so the Ministry of Agriculture was established to study the cultivation of sweet potatoes, and then promoted, what can it bring to the Ming Dynasty, I believe that your Qing family is the same as Lone, you can clearly understand it?" ”

The yield per mu is 2,000 catties, which can be used as a staple food.

What a significance!

The people present are all elites of the highest level of the Ming Dynasty, how could they not know.

It means that the people can rely on the yield of sweet potatoes and eat enough.

It means that the population will explode!

And one of the signs of prosperity in all dynasties is population!

There is a population to pay taxes!

Before, because of the lack of food, even in the Great Song Dynasty, the population had not exploded in large numbers, but if the Ming Dynasty could use sweet potatoes as a staple food to solve the food problem, the population would explode to more than 10,000, it is very possible.

So......

The Ming Dynasty will shape a glorious dynasty!

His Royal Highness the Prince's strong establishment of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is a wise decision, because there is a specialization in the industry, this crop called sweet potato has only flowed into the Ming Dynasty from foreign countries, and no one knows how to plant it.

It must be studied by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences before it can be promoted.

Everyone was convinced.
