"Not only is it highly yielding, but it's also very easy to grow, just bury it in the soil and fertilize it once or twice. The growth cycle is still short, and it can be harvested in one season. ”

"And it's also very delicious, you can make sour and hot shredded potatoes, potato chicken nuggets, potato fried meat...... Gee. Potatoes are nutritious and complete, rich in protein starch, and are nutritionally close to full price food. ”

"This thing can produce 5,000 catties per mu!?"

When Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang heard this, they immediately stayed in place.

When the surrounding people heard this, they were all shocked and speechless: "This output is too scary, isn't it?" ”

"I have lived for more than sixty years, and I have never heard of such a high-yield crop!" After a long time, Li Shanchang finally returned to normal and said.

"I, Liu Bowen, am also well-informed, and I haven't heard of any crops in Fanbang and the Western Regions around Daming, which can reach an astonishing yield of 5,000 catties per mu." Liu Bowen said.

"And it's very easy to plant, just fertilize once or twice." Li Shanchang said, "The growth cycle is still so short, it can be harvested in one season, and it is fully nutritious...... These crops are really fairy crops! ”

"Could it be that these potatoes are really given to the emperor and queen by the gods?"

"It used to be planted in heaven, but now it is brought to the mortal world."

"The minister finally understands now, why did the emperor just say that the burden is carried by the Ming Dynasty." Yang Xian arched his hand and said, "If potatoes can be popularized and planted in the Ming Dynasty, the entire Great Tomorrow will be changed because of this." ”

"The Ming Dynasty will be strong because of potatoes, and the people will be rich because of potatoes."

"The rice, wheat, millet, millet and soybean planted before the Ming Dynasty yielded hundreds of catties per mu at most, and dozens of acres of land were needed to feed the people of a village. If all the potatoes are planted, only one acre of land is needed to feed them. ”

"If it is planted in a large area, there must be a lot of surplus, and the remaining potatoes can be used by the people to raise chickens and increase their income!"

"The ministers are right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Potatoes are so magical. ”

"It can increase the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty."

"Potatoes are so much better than the previous grains, and after the people plant them, they can make the Ming country rich and strong, and the country is stable. Let's wait for you, are we carrying the Ming Dynasty in our guts? ”

"What the queen is carrying behind is the people's abundant food and clothing?"

"The Emperor Shengming!"

"Niang Niang Shengming!"

The ministers said one after another.

One by one, they turned their eyes to the pile of potatoes, and their hearts were excited: with this thing, the problem of eating for the people will no longer be a problem.

For thousands of years in China, the problem of eating for the common people has also lasted for thousands of years.

Now that potatoes are grown, this problem will be eradicated once and for all.

The decline and fall of successive dynasties and the peasant uprisings were all related to the fact that the people did not have enough to eat and even starved to death.

If potatoes are planted, the national honor of the Ming Dynasty will continue for thousands of generations.

Potatoes are such a treasure!

……

"Come on, summon all the civil and military ministers of Yingtian." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Today, our monarchs and ministers are at the gate of this palace, in front of the people, to wash these potatoes and cut them into small pieces. ”

"After that, it was distributed to various provinces in Daming and planted for the people."

"Yes!" After Erhu finished speaking, he turned around and led people to gather other ministers.

"It is the duty of the ministers to be able to do things for the people, and it is also the blessing of the ministers." Said a minister.

Soon, a guard brought water out of the palace.

The emperor and empress took matters into their own hands and washed the potatoes with water from the well that was picked out from the palace. When the generals saw that the emperor and queen had made a move, they immediately rushed over to help, and they didn't even change the official mansion on their bodies.

"Li Xiang, Liu Yushi, you are all scholars, so you don't have to do this kind of dirty work." A military attache said, "Is it not in line with your status as a scholar to do this kind of work?" Your hands are for the pen. ”

"You're trying to harm us!" Li Shan said.

"Although we are scholars, what are we reading for, not for the well-being of the people?" Liu Bowen said, "Therefore, we must do this matter." ”

After speaking, along with other civil officials, they also joined the ranks of washing potatoes.

Although they had never done farm work before, but now that the emperor and empress were working, did they dare to do it?

Unless you don't want to be an official anymore.

These scholars used to have five fingers that did not touch the spring water, and the four bodies were not diligent and the five grains were not distinguished, but now everyone's hands are finally stuck with mud. In the past, those generals used to kill the enemy with knives, but now they also pick up the knife to kill the enemy and use it to cut potatoes.

In the final analysis, the generals are also fighting for the people.

"Not bad, not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied when he saw this, "This is called the single-mindedness of the monarch and the minister." The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was originally a peasant, and now with you civil and military ministers, the monarchs and ministers are dedicated to the well-being of the people. ”

"If you keep being like this, you will always have the people in your heart. Why worry that the people of the Ming Dynasty are not happy, why worry that my Ming Dynasty is not strong, why worry that the Ming Dynasty is not stable? ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" When the ministers heard this, they all said, "The ministers must keep in mind the emperor's teachings and lead by example." ”

When the ministers were cleaning the potatoes, the red official uniforms on their bodies were stained a lot, and some even had stains on their official hats.

"You can't work if you put on an official uniform and an official hat, so you can put down your body and take off your official uniform and hat!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Yes!" When the ministers heard this, they took off their official uniforms and hats one after another and put them in a large pile in the distance.

"Put on the official uniform and official hat, you are ministers, take off the official uniform and official hat, your roots are still farmers!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I am based on agriculture in the Ming Dynasty, and no one has ever been born a prince and general." ”

"Including us!"

"There is nothing to be ashamed of being a farmer, whose ancestors are not farmers for generations?"

"What the emperor said is extremely true." The ministers replied as they worked. The civil servants put the potatoes in the water and washed them, and then the military attachés cut them into pieces with knives, while the rest of the ministers carried the potatoes to the side.

Because potatoes are grown, they need to be cut into pieces.

"Your Majesty. Since the emperor and queen and all the adults are working, those of us who are ordinary people can't just look at it. At this time, a bold citizen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you think we can come over and help?" ”

"Actually, we wanted to help for a long time, but we didn't dare." Another citizen said.

"Of course you can help." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't be afraid just because we are emperors and they are members of the imperial court. Feel that they are just like you, ordinary people, not much more noble than you. ”

"It's great that you all come to help, we not only want the monarch and the minister to be united, but also the world to be united."
