Hui Shiyang and Qian Qianyi felt completely desperate.

They didn't expect that there would really be such a high yield per mu and such delicious food in the world.

The main thing is: The crop is now ready to be promoted.

Once this sweet potato starts to be promoted, what kind of thing will come?

With such a large output of sweet potatoes, the imperial court will immediately have more grain.

Hui Shiyang must find a way to stop the spread of this food.

The reason is obviously very simple, because if this kind of food is really like what Zhu Youxiao said.

You don't need too much fertile land, you can grow it, you don't even need a lot of water to survive, and then there will be fewer and fewer displaced people who don't have enough to eat.

If there are fewer displaced people, then there will definitely be fewer displaced people.

After all, who wants to continue to live that precarious life with their head tied to their belts.

If there is no chaos in the world and the life of the people is not miserable, then there is no way for their Donglin Party to gain prestige.

This also proves from the side that the administration of Zhu Youxiao and the eunuch party is effective and can enable the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment.

But when they're all able to eat, they'll vote with their feet for the court now.

Zhu Youxiao looked at this sweet potato and sighed in his heart.

With this kind of sweet potato, if it can be promoted to the whole day, then the difficulty of his governance will definitely be greatly reduced.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the household department next to him and said, "The household department can issue official documents to various political envoys, as well as to all prefectures and counties, and post the emperor's list, just say that this kind of sweet potato, I am willing to buy it." ”

"And the price of sweet potatoes I gave was definitely not lower than the purchase price of coarse grains that year."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, everyone was shocked.

They didn't expect that this Zhu Youxiao had so much courage.

As soon as this order came out, the people of the whole world must be anxious to change to sweet potatoes.

Then the reason is very simple, ordinary grain planted on one acre of land, without the help of chemical fertilizer, can only harvest three or four hundred catties of grain.

However, the yield of these sweet potatoes has reached about 2,000 catties, which is a difference of five or six times.

Zhu Youxiao buys sweet potatoes at the same price, and in the case of unlimited purchases, it means that the income of farmers or landlords who farm the land will be five or six times that of the original.

Then the landlords and the common people everywhere will vote with their feet and plant sweet potatoes instead.

Zhu Youxiao's move, it seems that he lost, but in fact he didn't lose, he also made a profit.

Because once this sweet potato is promoted, such a large output will definitely quickly hit the price of coarse grains, what does this mean?

In other words, there may have been ten people who would have bought coarse grains, but after two or three times as many sweet potatoes poured into the market, then they would definitely buy sweet potatoes instead.

In order to still be able to sell these coarse grains, the only way they have to choose is to reduce the price of various coarse grains to retain these customers.

As a result, the price of grain purchased by Zhu Youxiao was greatly reduced.

And if everybody is switching to sweet potatoes, they're going to produce five or six times as much food.

This grain production has increased greatly, and the original people will definitely not be able to eat it all, so they will choose to sell it to Zhu Youxiao in large quantities.

Then Zhu Youxiao's hands will have a large amount of low-cost grain.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart.

Zhu Youxiao will be able to completely turn the large amount of floating wealth in his hands into food at that time.

In the next few years, during the Xiaoice period, all the victims and displaced people will have food to help.

Zhu Youxiao returned to the Forbidden City on the same day, and everything that happened here quickly spread throughout the country through the propaganda of officials in various places and the report of the Shuncheon Weekly.

It is conceivable that the cultivation of this sweet potato will soon be in full swing.

Zhu Youxiao is now more concerned about the war with Jiannu.

It stands to reason that in two or three months, Jiannu will attack the Chahar Division.

Now Jiannu should also be ready.

Zhu Youxiao thought of this, and went directly to the barracks of the New Army.

The first thing he did after arriving at the barracks was to summon Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu, Sun Yuanhua, Xu Xianchun, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and other generals to come to the meeting.

"Your Majesty, but what is happening in the north? Are we about to go north to fight? ”

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "The war hasn't started yet, but Jiannu is also collecting materials on a large scale, and in the direction of Liaodong, Jiannu's attack on our Ming Dynasty has stopped." ”

"It can be seen that they are now carrying out strategic contraction, and according to this situation, within two months, Jiannu will launch an offensive against the Chahar Department."

"So now that it's not long ago, I'm here to hold a meeting with you to discuss the next steps."

Colonel Zhu Youxiao now turned his face to look at Lu Xiangsheng, "How is the training of your infantry over there now?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng stood up on the spot, hugged his fist at Zhu Youxiao, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, we have mixed the 10,000 troops at the beginning with the 10,000 troops recruited later, and we have been training for several months. ”

"The soldiers are already very proficient in firing muskets."

"It's just that we only have fifteen thousand muskets now, so there are still a few thousand people, and no one is equipped with muskets, so we can only train all of them into pikemen."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, he knew this matter very well.

It's just that if they had asked the arsenal to produce the Apocalypse Powder Rifle at the beginning, the muskets of the 20,000 army would still have been produced.

However, in order to change to the production of the Apocalypse II bullet rifle, only 15,000 muskets were produced in the end, and there was a shortage of several thousand.

The generals present all secretly went to see Zhu Youxiao.

They heard about Zhu Youxiao. The 2,000 Apocalypse II rifles produced by the arsenal were all equipped to the Absolute Voice.

I can't think of such a powerful rifle. It just happened to be equipped for such a special army.

But no matter who these armies are equipped with, they are never equipped on their heads.

Whenever they remembered the power of the Apocalypse II rifle, which was powerful enough to shoot an enemy soldier from two or three hundred paces away, they felt very sorry.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew their thoughts very well, but now his foundation was not stable enough.

The Apocalypse II rifle is such a powerful weapon, of course, he has to absolutely control it in his own hands.
