Hearing that there were crops that were thousands of times stronger than sweet potatoes, the hall instantly fell silent.

Sweet potatoes are beyond their understanding, and what a crop that is thousands of times stronger should look like.

Completely unimaginable.

"As far as the minister knows, this sweet potato comes from the countries of the Far West, which are the most fond of spices, and have been searching for spices at sea for many years, and a few years ago they sailed to Luzon, India, and other spice-producing countries, and traded with them.

By the way, they brought this sweet potato with them, but it seems that they brought sweet potatoes, because this thing is not a rare thing in them, but there are rare things, such as something called potato. ”

Broken heads.

This is a difficult person to understand.

But it's really like those messy countries are named in messy language, after all, Fanbang has no culture, how can it be compared with the Ming Dynasty.

"This potato is the name of the people of Tessie, it sounds like a broken head, but it translates to the meaning of potato, for example, their sweet potato is called Sweetpotato, sweet means sweet in the language of the Tessie people, so it is sweet potato."

Sweet potato, this is very appropriate, after all, the sweet potato is indeed sweet.

Emperor Hongzhi spoke: "I didn't expect that the Xia Qing family also had some knowledge of the language of this state. ”

"I'm ashamed."

Xia Yuan hadn't read English much in his previous life, so he only remembered some simple words.

But this potato was discovered by the Spaniards first, Columbus is a Spaniard, and he remembers what the potato is called in Spanish, and it sounds like he is calling Dad.

Let's talk nonsense first.

Let's take out the title of a state first.

"The minister called it a sweet potato, thinking that it came from Fanbang, so he called it such a name, and it was okay to call it sweet potato, after all, it was red.

And this potato, let's call it a potato, I heard that this thing also grows in the soil, the color is golden, very similar to the color of soybeans, but it is countless times larger than soybeans, and the size is about the same as a fist, and the big one can be worth a child's head. ”

"I heard that this potato is far higher than the yield of sweet potato, an acre of land can reach tens of thousands of catties, and it is a pure staple food, more nutritious than wheat, rice and other crops, the effect is comparable to ginseng, but even if you eat it every day, it will not have side effects like eating ginseng, such as fire, or nosebleeds, or deficiency and lack of supplementation.

It can also be grown in any region and twice a year. ”

The yield per mu is tens of thousands of catties.

With this yield alone, it has already made the whole palace in an uproar, and the effect of returning Nima is comparable to ginseng, and there are no side effects.

The ginseng with a yield of tens of thousands of catties per mu can be planted twice a year.

This bluffs.

Looking at the uproar in the hall, Xia Yuan had a straight face, anyway, he didn't fool, potatoes are indeed the staple food with the highest nutritional value, there is no one, it is known as underground ginseng.

Although the yield per mu is to be discussed, there are potatoes with a yield of 20,000 catties per mu in later generations, and I don't know whether it is true or not.

However, 10,000 catties can be achieved in the future life.

And when the potatoes spread to Daming, there was no yield of tens of thousands of catties per mu, and there was no effect of ginseng, so what did it have to do with him Xia?

He also heard about it.

Emperor Hongzhi's breathing sped up several times, and his eyes were glowing green, if the Ming Dynasty had this potato yield of tens of thousands of catties per mu, wouldn't everyone in the world eat ginseng?

"This ginseng you are talking about, no, where is this country of Tessie?"

"It's the country that I call the Franc Machine."

"Franc machine?" Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and then searched in his mind when Da Ming called a certain country a Franc machine, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever known about this so-called Franc machine?"

The ministers looked at each other, and they were all confused.

Looking at this scene, Xia Yuan frowned slightly, wasn't this Franc machine named by Da Ming?

And what a Franc cannon.

But after thinking about it, he understood again, it must be that the Ming Dynasty has not yet come into contact with the Portuguese and Spaniards, after all, these people have only arrived in Southeast Asia for a few years, and they are busy moving spices to their homes at this time.

I haven't heard of it, I haven't touched it, so it's easy to ignore it. No, it's easy to tell.

But first, we have to find a footnote to the source of this Franc machine.

"Your Majesty, this Franc Machine is the name mentioned by an old man in his hometown when he was young, this old man's father had followed the Three Treasures Eunuch to the West, I think this Franc Machine was the name given by the Three Treasures Eunuch when he first went to the West."

As soon as he heard about the West, the monarchs and ministers present instantly understood, and Emperor Hongzhi said: "That is to say, when my Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty went to the West, the eunuch of the Three Treasures had contact with this Buddha Lang Ji country?" ”

"It should be so."

At this time, someone asked, "Since this Franc machine country has such a sacred object, Zheng He went to this Franc machine again, why didn't Zheng He bring it back to my Ming Dynasty at the beginning?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the people also came to their senses, when Zheng He went to the West, I heard that he had been to many countries along the way, and had exchanges with many countries, so that there were all the countries to come to the court.

If you go to the country of Nafranc and hear that there are potatoes with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu here, and there are many miracles, you should bring them back.

Could it be that such crops do not exist?

Xia Yuan shook his head, "It's not that the eunuchs of the Three Treasures don't bring it back, it's that there were no such crops in the Franc Machine Country at that time. ”

"I heard that the Franc machine also got this potato from somewhere else."

"After getting it, the Franc machine man will never let outsiders know about it, and he even issued a ban on this thing or seed from flowing to other countries."

"Is this Franc good?"

Some people wanted to accuse such self-cherishing behavior, but as soon as the words came out, they swallowed back.

If the Ming Dynasty obtained such a divine object, it would inevitably be swept away and cherished, and heavy strict orders were issued, and this logistics could not be allowed to pass to other countries.

After all, this is a yield of tens of thousands of catties per mu, and the effect is comparable to ginseng.

People in the world may not know what nutrients and what proteins they have, but they all know that only the better they eat, the stronger they are.

Chengtian took ginseng with no side effects as a meal, and it was strange that the bones of this body were not strong.

Strong and strong people fight as soldiers, and they are all elites.

When such crops are circulated to other countries, they are raising tigers.

But this kind of crop, the monarchs and ministers present have only one idea, and they must get it.

For the sake of the people of the world, or for themselves, they must get it.

After all, ginseng is very expensive, and it costs a lot of money to nourish it all day long, and if you have this potato, you can eat ginseng as a meal all day long, and you will definitely be able to prolong your life.

Who doesn't want to live a few more years?

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, if this thing is really as miraculous as Xia Zhan said, then my Ming Dynasty will definitely get this thing, if there is this thing, my Ming Dynasty will be able to reproduce the rule of three generations of holy kings, and even far exceed the rule of three generations!" ”

"Even if you send troops to rob it, you will not hesitate to do it!"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said in a categorical tone, "Yes, now if you want to find the whereabouts of this country and obtain this thing, you will send troops for this purpose, and it is not impossible to make a big move!" ”

The rest of the people also expressed their attitudes, "It is a nameless teacher, and it is suspected of losing morality, but for the sake of my Ming Dynasty and the society for ten thousand years, this move is especially possible!" ”
