Chapter 479: Field Investigation
Zhu Youxiao and his wife were amazed after tasting it, and kept asking about planting and storage.
Tang Yu said: "Corn is a temperature-loving crop, and now the Ming Dynasty is in a cold climate, but there is no problem in the south, even in the north, there is no problem in planting a season after spring, but potatoes are different." Your Majesty, wait a minute, I'll go and bring the potatoes to me. ”
Ergou hurriedly got up: "I'll go." ”
Tang Yu nodded.
Soon, Ergou took a whole plate of baked potatoes, and the cook gave the potato dishes.
Zhu Youxiao was surprised: "This is a potato, I imagined that it was a small round bean like a soybean." ”
Tang Yuwan smiled.
"Potatoes are cold-loving crops, the requirements for land are much lower than corn, historically, after potatoes were introduced into China, because potatoes are very suitable for growing in the original cold areas with very low grain yields, they were soon popularized in the grasslands (Inner Mongolia), Hebei, Shanxi, and northern Shaanxi."
"This time, the grain varieties that Xianwang went to in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei and other areas are mainly potatoes, and the average yield is about 3,000 catties, which has played a great role in the stability of China's population."
Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Okay! Chilly! All right! This potato is so suitable for me! ”
Huang Xiao also smiled slightly: "When Tang Yu prepared for me to grow grain, he also taught me a lesson, I was curious why the proportion of potatoes was so large, after Tang Yu's explanation, I suddenly realized, haha, in this regard, Tang Yu is worthy of being a top student of the College of Agriculture, I sigh to myself!" ”
Tang Yu smiled.
"The young master has won the prize."
Tang Yu took a plate of bread and put it in front of Zhu Youxiao and his wife.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, this is bread made of potatoes, you two taste it."
Zhang Yan was surprised: "This is made of potatoes?" ”
It's no wonder that Zhang Yan was surprised, because this bread is golden in color, extremely fluffy and soft, and compared with potatoes, it can't be seen as a food at all.
Zhu Youxiao took a slice and put it in his mouth.
"Delicious!"
"Brother Xian, Baozhu, Ergou, you can also taste it."
Several people ate a slice.
Zhang Yan's beautiful eyes lit up: "It's delicious!" ”
Tang Yu said: "After potatoes were introduced from the Americas to Western France, people found that they could make bread, and this thing was planted in large quantities in the West, and this bread is one of the staple foods of Westerners. ”
Tang Yu tasted and explained the dishes of other potatoes to the two of them.
Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, these three crops, for my Ming people, it is really a godsend, that America is really a treasure of nature, no wonder the Western barbarians will try their best to take it for themselves, brother Xian, thank you for bringing these to the Ming Dynasty, with these, I believe that there will be countless living people!" ”
"Miss Tang is very knowledgeable, if it weren't for the fact that Brother Xian had another appointment for her, I really wanted to appoint her as the chief of agriculture!"
Tang Yu smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" In fact, as long as I continue to implement the new policies formulated by His Majesty and King Xian, coupled with the support of various high-yield grains in the fairy world, the famine can definitely be eliminated, and many natural disasters are actually caused by man-made disasters! Whether I'm an official or not, but it doesn't matter. ”
Huang Xiao nodded: "Tang Yu's words make sense, the people of the Ming Dynasty are actually very easy to feed, all they want is to be hungry, and they are not so picky about food, as long as they put an end to man-made disasters, peace in the world is just around the corner!" ”
"Good!" Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "Hearing Brother Xian and Miss Tang say this, I am really much more relieved, as for man-made disasters, haha!" Whoever afflicts my people, I will destroy them. ”
Tang Yu looked at Zhu Youxiao with reverence: "Your Majesty has an extraordinary bearing, and you have the people in mind, Tang Yu admires it!" ”
Tang Yu's admiring gaze made Zhu Youxiao happy in his heart!
He laughed: "Thank you Miss Tang for the compliment!" Miss Tang's cooking skills tonight, I and the queen tasted it, and they were very satisfied! I had a lot of fun eating too! ”
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded.
Zhu Youxiao said: "It's not too early, Brother Xian, Miss Tang, Ergou, you still have to go to mint coins, Baozhu, let's go." ”
Huang Xiao nodded.
Leaving with four people.
"Ergou, you drive to the factory, and then I will send the silver to the warehouse."
"Yes!"
Ergou took the car keys, said goodbye to Zhu Youxiao and the others, got in the car and went to Tang Yu.
Huang Xiao took Zhu Youxiao and his wife back to the Qianqing Palace.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, little brother is gone."
Zhu Youxiao said: "It's hard work. ”
Huang Xiao smiled, said goodbye to the two, and left.
"Baozhu, you are in good health, I am really happy, I have suffered you in the past few years."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, it's night, Your Majesty will rest early, and the concubines will retire." ”
"Well, go ahead."
Although he and Zhang Yan are still respectful, Zhu Youxiao is not as depressed as a few days ago.
He took out the books that Huang Xiao had specially purchased for him and read them!
Compared with his own family affairs, it is naturally a national affair.
Huang Xiao went to the warehouse to take ten boxes of silver nuggets and sent them to the Red Star Machinery Factory.
Tang Yu whispered: "Young Master, I have contacted Mike to purchase a batch of high gunpowder, all of which flow out of Ermao's side, and the source is the transfer of the stick, all of which are operated by remote control and timed operation." ”
Huang Xiao looked at Tang Yu with great appreciation.
"Great!"
"It's really hard for you, you stay up late at night, and you have to ...... during the day"
Tang Yu interrupted: "What is it to be able to make Xiaori pay the price?" ”
Huang Xiao nodded: "Very good, well done, God helps me!" Ha ha! ”
"Ergou, for a while, you will mainly take care of it and let Xiao Tang rest more, understand?"
"Yes, young master, don't worry."
Tang Yu made a few more suggestions, and after discussing the details, Huang Xiao left.
As the celebration got closer and closer, and the day of his wedding was approaching, Huang Xiao had to check the preparations.
There is also the need to go to the Wa Kingdom to do things, and I will go over to investigate on the spot later.
At the same time, you have to get some supporting things.
Back in the small courtyard, Huang Xiao turned on the computer and began to get busy.
……
At this moment, in Dahuangzhuang Academy, Fang Yizhizheng was talking excitedly with Zuo Maodi and a large group of students.
When he returned to the college, he immediately began to study the wired telegraph and telephone, and enlisted the help of Zuo Maodi and two other classmates.
However, he underestimated everyone's curiosity, and after Fang Yizhi's research was inadvertently revealed in the same window, the students became a sensation!
So there was a scene in front of me.
These students are all students who responded to the call of Daming Daily and entered Dahuangzhuang to study and wait for the exam.
Fang Yizhi was a little annoyed that the matter was not completed and leaked out first.
