"What do you mean that one acre of land yields nine hundred and eighty-seven catties?"

Zhu Di looked at the pot of corn kernels brought by Zhu Song and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Song arched his hand beside him and said: "Your Majesty, the yield of corn is much lower than Chen imagined, according to that Hu Shang, the yield of corn can reach 1,400 catties in their local area!" This is the first trial planting, there may be some planting problems, and this corn cob is not as big as what Chen saw in Hu Shang's hands at that time. ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Song and then looked at the pot of corn kernels in his hand, oh my God, one thousand catties per acre of land is also surprising enough, this old twenty said that this thing can reach 1,400 catties in Hushang, you must know that the rice output of one acre is only 300 catties to 600 catties, and there is more wheat, but it is only 700 catties to 800 catties.

If it is really as the old 20 said that an acre of land can reach more than 1,400 catties, then not only can the people of the world eat enough to fill their stomachs, but the army can also use this crop as food.

Although the army of the Ming Dynasty has silver, although it is in charge of eating and living, the food is not good, most of the soldiers eat porridge and pickles, steamed buns are very few, only more than 100 households can eat rice and meat.

If this thing is fully rolled out in the Ming Dynasty, won't the food be eaten endlessly?

"What are you going to do next?"

Zhu Song replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister plans to take a look at the growth situation of Liaodong next, the new corn seeds have arrived in the hands of the minister, the minister plans to find a few more plots of land, and plant them together in the spring of this year, and at the same time, the Liaodong region will also start trial planting." ”

"And this time, Hushang Abbas brought not only corn to Chen, but also other crops, corn is drought and flood resistant, but compared with the sweet potatoes and potatoes brought by Abbas, there is still a bit of a gap."

Zhu Di listened to Zhu Song's words, looked at the other tray, and saw that there were two basins in the tray, and there were yellow and white in the basin, as well as purple and red, which looked a little unsightly.

Zhu Di picked up a potato, pointed to it and said, "This thing is the potato you said, right?" ”

"It's the emperor, this thing is not only called a potato, but also a potato!"

Zhu Di put the potatoes back: "It's good to name potatoes like horse bells, don't call them potatoes, where there are such big beans, call them potatoes." ”

"This sweet potato should have another name, right?"

Zhu Song nodded: "This sweet potato is also known as sweet potato, and the yield of these two crops is also very high, and the soil is not picked, even if the land in the northwest is soft, it can be planted." ”

"The emperor has this corn, potato and sweet potato, and the day when Daming wants to fill the people's stomachs is not far off."

Zhu Di was very happy, but this old twenty was too capable, found out Jianwen's whereabouts, and began to make these new crops, with such a high yield.

If it can really reach the yield of more than 1,400 catties per mu as he said, it will be an immortal achievement, and in the future, the imperial court will be under his own governance, and the future generations of historians will all the credit be credited to the head of the old twenty-one people?

Zhu Di desperately wants to prove to the world and Emperor Taizu Gao that he is the most suitable prince to be the emperor, but if the price of Guotai and Min'an is to let the old twenty take his credit, then he has to think carefully about whether he wants to take this credit.

"The twentieth has really worked hard for you during this time, you took Jinyiwei to track down the orphans of Jingnan and found the clues of Jianwen, and led Jinyiwei to roll out a new news network in the entire Ming Dynasty, you have worked hard."

Zhu Song frowned slightly, compared with these crops that can fill the stomachs of the people of the world, what kind of credit is this? Why didn't the emperor mention this?

"The emperor has a good reputation, and this is all within the minister's responsibility."

Zhu Di patted Zhu Song's shoulder.

"You see that you now want to investigate the orphans of Jingnan and trace the clues of Jianwen, these are very, very important things, you have to take care of it in the future, you have to put all your mind on this matter, as for these new crops, I will explain it to others."

Hearing this, Zhu Song raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Di.

The courtiers have to look at the ground when they meet the emperor, they can look at the emperor's eyes but they can't look all the time, Zhu Song's move is not conducive to provocation, which makes Zhu Di very unhappy.

"How dare you look at me like that?"

Zhu Song said word by word: "Your Majesty! Fourth brother! What do you mean? ”

Zhu Di didn't speak, just stared at Zhu Song, the atmosphere in the room dropped sharply in an instant, and the eunuchs in the frightened imperial study knelt on the ground and trembled.

Zhu Song looked directly into Zhu Di's eyes and said angrily: "You and I rebelled together, I have no opinion on you being the emperor, but now you want to snatch my credit, I don't agree!" ”

"You want to prove to my father that you are the most suitable prince to be the emperor, and I also want to prove to the people of the world that if Jianwen hadn't pressed too hard, I would not have rebelled with you, and I also want to prove to the people of the world that I have the ability to fill the stomachs of the world!"

"You snatched this credit, do you want me to carry all the infamy of Jingnan alone?"

Zhu Di angrily scolded Zhu Song and took a step forward, Zhu Song stood in place, standing still.

"How do you speak? What a guts! ”

"Fourth brother!" Zhu Song roared fearlessly: "I have to protect my things, the throne is not given to you by me, you fought for it yourself, the same credit is mine, no one can take it away!" ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Song and was not afraid at all, and he couldn't help but start a fire again in his heart, but he couldn't help muttering, why is it that in front of him, a person who knows how to be polite, so cautious, and walks on thin ice, can now raise the courage to roar with himself?

Could it be that I really went too far this time? As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di immediately poured a basin of cold water on his face, no! I can't overdo it! The emperor can't do anything too much!

"Get out of here!"

Zhu Di roared, Zhu Song was still fearless, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The minister retreats!" ”

Zhu Song didn't kneel after speaking, picked up the corn on the table, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes left, Zhu Di stared at Zhu Song's back, and his eyes wanted to tear Zhu Song in half.

Zhu Song left the palace and threw the seeds into the car. I didn't want to take the carriage anymore, I was too bored to panic, so I took the groom's whip directly and drove the carriage myself.

Chen Zheng saw that His Highness's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Your Highness?" ”

Zhu Song smiled bitterly: "It's not a big deal, at most, I had a big fight with the emperor just now, and I didn't kneel down to salute when I left." ”
