Chapter 204: The Strategic Significance of Potatoes!
"Or do you think ......"
"Why do I value this potato so much......
Su Yang's voice was not loud, but it resounded in his ears.
The entire Xishan Canteen suddenly fell into an eerie silence!
Deathly silence!
A chilling silence!
Monk Daoyan looked at Su Yang in disbelief, and then at Yan Shizi Zhu Gaochi, his eyes were full of doubt.
Zhu Gaochi was so excited that his face was red, and he endured the throbbing and excitement in his heart, and slowly spoke.
"Brother-in-law, you once said that this potato is extremely adaptable, poor, drought and cold-resistant, not only can be planted in sandy and dry land, but even in bitter cold places such as Liaodong, you can live well......"
"So, does this mean that potatoes can also be grown in ...... Above the steppe desert? ”
With a "bang", Monk Daoyan stood up directly, not even caring if the chair fell down.
He seemed to have lost his mind, the rosary in his hand had already stopped turning, and his eyes were staring at Su Yang!
"Su Xiaoyou, this matter ...... Seriously? ”
It's horrible!
And it's too big!
If potatoes can really be planted on the grassland, the hidden problems that have plagued the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years will be solved in an instant!
Su Yang didn't continue to pretend, because he saw that there was something wrong with Monk Daoyan's state.
This is Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister!
If you pretend to be too much in front of him, you might get into trouble!
I saw Su Yang take a sip of tea, and then nodded lightly.
"If there is a food crop in this world that can be planted in the grassland desert, it must be potatoes!"
"Because the reason why potatoes can be hailed as a social artifact, in addition to its ultra-high yield, the most important thing is that potatoes are extremely adaptable!"
"Adaptability, specifically, the performance is drought and cold tolerance, which is very suitable for planting in bitter cold places such as Liaodong, as well as arid places such as deserts, and the yield is definitely not comparable to ordinary fields, and it will be reduced, but the yield of more than ten stones per mu is not a problem."
Su Yang said extremely confidently, after all, this is the experience of later generations.
Because in later generations, the main potato production areas are in Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, not only that, but even Outer Mongolia is also a staple food of potatoes, and even Inner Mongolia Ulanqab has the name of "China's potato capital" in later generations!
Monk Daoyan was completely shocked, and looked at Su Yang blankly, his eyes gradually turning red.
The rest of the crowd was also stunned, their faces full of horror and consternation!
Potatoes can be planted on the desert steppe!
What does this mean?
That means that the grassland desert will no longer be a burden to the Central Plains Dynasty, but a piece of grain producing land!
With the high yield and adaptability of potatoes, you can produce food as long as you plant them!
And this grain represents the population and interests!
With enough food, more people can be fed, and more people can be born!
The Mongolian steppe is so vast, far more than dozens or hundreds of times more fertile land than the fertile land that can be cultivated in the Central Plains!
Once the potatoes are thoroughly promoted, once the potatoes are really rooted in the grassland desert, the Ming Dynasty will usher in a real peaceful and prosperous era!
Su Yang looked at the people who were in a stupor, and just smiled slightly.
He just wants to let these high-level officials of Yanwangfu understand the strategic significance of potatoes and pay enough attention to potatoes, so that Yanwangfu will fully cooperate with him to promote the cultivation of potatoes.
"There's no doubt that potatoes can take root in the steppe desert!"
"With the cultivation talent of the Chinese nation, it will not be long before the fields that can be cultivated can be cultivated on the grassland desert, and the grain harvest can be obtained after planting potatoes, and then the fields are connected together, and they will form a market town and village, after more than ten years of development, the market town village will form a city ...... further."
"In this way, the Central Plains farming civilization can rely on the potato as a social artifact to completely gain a foothold outside the Great Wall, and then advance step by step to the grassland desert, constantly compressing the living space of the grassland nomads, until they are completely driven away from this grassland, or completely subjugated and indoctrinated, so the collision of the two civilizations will eventually lead to the victory of the Central Plains farming civilization!"
"Therefore, what we have to do now is to promote potatoes as soon as possible, so that the whole world knows about this artifact, and then use potatoes as a favorable weapon for the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains, and launch a counterattack against the nomadic civilization of the grassland!"
Su Yang's words made everyone's blood boil, and even their hearts were surging!
Now it's not a battle for the throne, it's a battle of fate between two civilizations!
If they can succeed, then the Central Plains farming civilization will completely solve the threat and harassment from the nomadic civilization of the grassland, and create eternal peace for future generations!
And these people are definitely enough to be famous for eternity and immortality!
But, it's just a beautiful idea.
After all, there is still a war going on!
The fate of their Yan Wangfu is not yet in their own hands!
Even if you really want to carry out Su Yang's great plan, at least you have to get Jing Nan succeed!
Otherwise, if Jingjing fails, everyone will be beheaded together, and where can there be any war between civilizations!
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing...... It's too big for me to bear alone! ”
Big Fat chubby clutched his heart, panting violently, God knows how long he slowed down before he recovered!
Talking to Su Yang, an immortal, it is really a matter of killing people if you are not careful!
Su Yang nodded with a smile, and did not say anything to urge.
It's all a matter of time anyway!
Yanwangfu is already short of grain now, so naturally it will not hinder the promotion and development of potatoes.
On the contrary, whether it is for short-term food or long-term planning, Yanwangfu will do its best to promote the cultivation of potatoes!
This is the purpose of Su Yang's efforts to do all this!
He came to this Ming Dynasty unexpectedly and witnessed the hardships and hardships of the lives of the people at the bottom, and he had to do something for them.
Su Yang asked himself if he was not a virgin gentleman, but if he didn't even have a little mercy and kindness, how was it different from a beast?
Monk Dao Yan glanced at Su Yang deeply, and his heart was filled with indescribable complex emotions!
Is this the "Immortal"?
The Sheji artifact that was taken out casually was not only able to change the situation in the Ming Dynasty, but also calculated the war between the two civilizations!
Su Yang, Su Yang, why do you want to come to Daming at this moment?
Since Su Yang was born, how could he be born Daoyan!
At this moment, the pride and self-confidence of Monk Daoyan were completely shattered!
Especially when he noticed Ma Sanbao's reverent and fanatical eyes, Monk Daoyan felt extremely frustrated!
At the beginning, the eyes of Sanbao were exclusive to him!
That look in his eyes represents the disciple's worship and admiration for the master!
But now it has been transferred to Su Yang!
rebels!
Forgot about your mentor so quickly?
Ma He: "Second master, you're really amazing!"
Su Yang: "Ji Cao, Ji Cao, don't six!"
Dao Yan: "I can go to your ......"
