After the water came out, Zhu Houzhao still frowned and looked at him, as we all know, this is a very private matter.

Even in the afterlife, I haven't seen a man run to stand with others when the urinal is rich.

Not to mention this era.

Zhu Houzhao's whole person is not good now, and when he thinks of being peeked at, he feels uncomfortable anywhere.

"You"

As soon as the words came out and stopped, Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a while, and then asked, "You didn't raise a prostitute child, did you?" ”

Hearing the word prostitution, Xia Yuan's face darkened, and he blurted out: "I'll raise your uncle." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy, if he said anything, Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, how can I raise a prostitute Tong Yunyun.

Zhu Houzhao didn't have the bottom of his heart, it can be seen that he reacted so violently and scolded people, but he was relieved.

This is certainly not raised.

So it means that this guy doesn't have that hobby.

Seriously, if Xia Yuan is really a who has found a different way, Zhu Houzhao feels that it is necessary for him to re-examine the relationship between the two.

You'll have to stay away from him in the future.

"And what were you looking at?"

Regarding this question, Xia Yuan really didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that I don't see that your bird's skin is not long, this is not serious, and he was thinking about his rhetoric, when someone ran in panting, "Master, the boat, the ship is back."

"What ship is back"

Xia Yuan was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up, "You mean the ship is back?" Did you see that? Is it really our ship? ”

"That's it, it's back, it's at the docks."

Zhu Houzhao looked confused, "What ship is coming back?" ”

Xia Yuan ignored him, ran out as soon as he stepped forward, stepped on a horse, and went out for a few months, but he was back.

I thought I was dead outside.

At this time, a large ship was parked at the pier.

It doesn't look good, and in some places it's broken, but it's still there.

The ship was piled with spices and other items, and a famous sailor was carrying them down.

Xia Yuan ran all the way here, didn't look at those spices, looked around, and shouted, "Learbi! Learbi! Come, go and get Lear for me! ”

"Master, the little one is here."

A black, thin and thin man ran out of the crowd, Xia Yuan looked at it, but he didn't recognize it, "You are Learbi?" ”

"The little one is"

"Don't talk about this, what about the things, did I let you find the things you were looking for?"

"Found it, found it"

Lear nodded again and again, and then led Xia Yuan to take a look, there were several sacks, which were bulging.

Xia Yuan tore open the bag, it was full of mud, and it was full of canes.

Zhu Houzhao also ran over, glanced into the sack, and saw the black things inside, and was stunned, "What are these?" ”

Xia Yuan ignored him, picked up one and rubbed the dirt on it with his fingers, holding his breath and observing, yes, although it was not quite the same as in his memory, but it was absolutely.

"Where did you find it, is it the Philippines, Luzon, or Siam?"

"It's Luzon."

“.”

Xia Yuan nodded and didn't answer, just carefully rubbed the sweet potato with his hand.

That's right, this is a sweet potato in his hand.

Standing at the beginning of the sixteenth century, a few decades forward, the great voyages of the West have begun, and an important reason for the opening of the Age of Exploration is to find India.

Because countries such as India and Southeast Asia produce spices, in the West, spices are charged according to the pellets, and the price is higher than gold.

And at the end of the fifteenth century, in 1492 A.D., Columbus accidentally discovered the New World while exploring the shipping lanes of Southeast Asia, and it is now 1503 A.D., only ten years later.

But there were no spices in the New World, so the Great Voyages would not stop, and Xia Yuan speculated that Westerners might have arrived in Luzon during the decade.

And brought the sweet potato crop over.

So last year, he sent a merchant ship carrying sugar to try his luck in Southeast Asia.

I didn't expect to find it.

Now the Ming Dynasty: the yield of rice and wheat per mu is only three or four hundred catties, even in the modern society with developed agriculture in later generations, eight hundred catties can be regarded as a high yield.

But the sweet potato thing, in later generations, will casually yield 10,000 catties per mu, and in this era, do not ask for 10,000 catties, as long as you can have 5,000 catties, or even 3,000 catties are enough.

Rubbing the sweet potato in his hand, Xia Yuan asked, "How did you find it?" ”

"When the little ones arrived in Luzon, the people over there didn't understand Chinese, and the little ones didn't understand what they were saying. And as the old man said, there are really a lot of red hairy, yellow hairy, and bird-like language in their mouths, and the little ones can't understand what they say.

After the little ones sold the sugar, they took the pictures drawn by the old man and compared them with others, and in this way they found them, and bought a lot of them from the locals. ”

"Do you have any?"

As he was talking, Zhu Houzhao threw the sweet potato in his hand back into the bag and interjected: "What the hell is this?" ”

"Sweet potato."

"Vassal?"

"Aang." Xia Yuan replied casually, turned his gaze back, and just wanted to continue asking, Zhu Houzhao asked again: "This thing is dirty, what are you sending someone to look for this?" ”

"I'll tell you later. Did you find any potatoes? ”

"No, the little ones asked with the picture of the potato, and the people over there in Luzon shook their heads."

“.”

Xia Yuan was suddenly disappointed, but he felt that he was really looking forward to Shu, and it was a blessing to be able to find sweet potatoes.

What more bikes.

And if he remembers correctly, potatoes are very strictly regarded by the Western devils and are strictly forbidden to flow into other countries.

Although they can be full, potatoes can be used as a staple food, while sweet potatoes can only be used as a supplementary food.

So sweet potatoes were introduced to Southeast Asia at this time, but potatoes may only be found in South America and Europe.

In a few decades, potatoes will be introduced to Southeast Asia, but they are still strictly controlled and not allowed to flow into China.

It is rumored that the overseas Chinese stuffed it in the horse's butt and smuggled it back.

Therefore, it is also a crop in the New World, sweet potatoes were introduced to China in the early Wanli period, but potatoes have to wait until the apocalypse, Chongzhen Dynasty.

Ordered people to put these sacks of sweet potatoes in the warehouse and take strict care, Xia Yuan began to patiently answer Zhu Houzhao's questions, and when he heard the yield, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask, "This thing can get four or five thousand catties per mu?" ”

"In the most ideal state, it can produce four or five thousand catties, but two or three thousand catties should be available."

Zhu Houzhao didn't distinguish between grains and grains, and he didn't know whether it was more or less, so he turned his head and asked: "Gu companion, how much grain can be produced in one acre of land?" ”

Gu Dayong thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there can be a four hundred catties, no matter how many slaves and maids there are, I haven't heard of them." ”

"Oh" Zhu Houzhao sighed, and then he thought about it.

"What is Your Highness thinking? Wondering if I'm lying to you? ”

"No, Hongu is wondering if the master is crazy."

“.”

Xia Yuan is not rare to have to deal with this goods, now it is the spring season, it is the best time to plant sweet potatoes, and so on to plant sweet potatoes, at the latest more than three months can be harvested.

When the time comes, see who the crazy person is.
