Chapter 153: The Second Live Broadcast (3)
Ming dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang received the express, he once again called his prince Zhu Biao to discuss how to plant potatoes.
He cares very much about the crops he buys from the canopy.
After all, he was a hungry man, and he knew very well what food could do to a person.
And the stability of the world is also inseparable from these grains.
Now that he can buy these good seeds from later generations on the live broadcast, he will definitely have to plant them on a large scale, so that the people of Daming can also eat these high-yield grains.
And Zhu Yuanzhang believes that during his reign, he will definitely be able to feed the people.
Even in order to prevent future generations from being mediocre, he also formulated various policies, and even asked the crown prince Zhu Biao to organize a fleet, and then let people go to find the new world mentioned in the sky.
So he once again purchased a large number of this new crop from the private sector, hoping that there will be enough seeds next year for large-scale breeding.
Maybe there is a lesson from the last time, and those boys who want to taste it have no action this time.
After all, the last time I played 30 boards, they were impressed.
And those people who were acquired, they have no psychological resistance now.
After all, their arms can't twist their thighs, you know Your Majesty in this palace, but it's different from those faint kings.
It's just that they still hope that they can plant the crops on the canopy earlier, so that they can eat a full meal earlier.
……
After Zhu Di received the express, he opened the box and took out a piece of potato, compared it with the potato that Zheng He found from the New World, and found that it was indeed much bigger.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to taste the difference between the two potatoes for himself.
So he ordered two pieces to be boiled, and to compare the two kinds of potatoes.
Of course, most of him had people put it away and keep it for next year as seeds.
And he also gave this task to the soldiers who had been to the New World.
After all, compared to the people of the Ming Dynasty, these soldiers had seen how to grow this potato.
In addition to this, there was another thing that made him very sad.
Although his name has found the New World, it is too far away.
If you want to control such a distant territory, I'm afraid that Da Ming can't do it.
He remembered another recital by Zheng He, which stated that, according to the map on the canopy, the place east of Sakhalin Island might be the New World.
Zhu Di had no experience in this matter, and even if he summoned those ministers, he didn't give him an accurate answer.
In the end, Zhu Di decided to send an army to explore the area in the cold winter.
……
After Zhu Houzhao received the potatoes, he immediately arranged for people to plant them in a place with a warm climate.
As the weather is getting colder and colder, this potato can no longer be planted in the north, and can only be planted in the south.
In the era he is in now, the Ming Dynasty already has potatoes, and there are also a small number of people planting them.
It's just that the officials of the Ming Dynasty don't know the goods, and he makes this high-yield crop useless.
If it weren't for this live broadcast of the canopy, I'm afraid that this potato would only be circulated among the people, and he, the emperor, didn't know when he would know.
Now that he knew it, he had a large number of seeds collected and planted in the right places in the south.
As for what I thought before, let the soldiers of Tuntian in Liaodong plant, but now the climate of Liaodong is not the time, and only in April and May next year can it be planted in Liaodong.
I believe that by that time, the Liaodong soldiers will be able to be self-sufficient, and at that time, he can let Wang Yangming go to North Korea to prepare for the attack on the Japanese slaves.
Late Ming Dynasty.
While opening the express, Zhu Youzhen asked people to bring potatoes grown in the Ming Dynasty.
The difference in size between the two is so great that if it weren't for the fact that it was a crop, I couldn't believe that future generations would be able to stop it so much.
At the same time, Zhu Youzhen is also very curious, how did later generations grow such relatively large potatoes?
It's just that there is no introduction on the canopy, and he can't copy his homework if he wants to.
However, he felt that it might be a problem with seedlings, so he asked people to find those who had grown potatoes among the people, and let them go to the places where the environment was suitable to grow potatoes.
He wants to see the fruits that will bear next year, what is the difference between what he came into contact with with Daming?
If the potatoes in the next generation are still so big next year, I am afraid that it will be a problem of that kind of seedlings.
If the potatoes after next year are the same as his Daming's potatoes, it may be a problem with his Daming's planting.
Zhu Youzhen felt that according to these, he could understand how to grow crops in the future market, so that the crop yield in later generations would be so high.
Zhu Youzhen believes that if he really masters this technology, the yield of his crops will also increase exponentially, and at that time, the people in the disaster area will no longer suffer from hunger.
At the same time, according to the experience of the people, everyone knows that this potato is not the same as sweet potato.
Sweet potatoes are used to warm, humid climates, but they are not tolerant to severe cold, and if the temperature is too low, the growth rate will be reduced or stopped.
And this sweet potato is very different, he likes cold and dry climatic conditions, which is suitable for this climate in the north.
Although the sweet potato does not pick the ground, even the extremely barren land can produce a lot of fruit, but he is afraid of both waterlogging and drought, and if this happens, the yield will be greatly reduced.
And potatoes are different, he prefers soft, fertile, well-drained land.
Compared to the southern climate, the northern climate of this potato is more suitable.
However, this does not mean that potatoes cannot be grown in the south, as long as the weather is not too hot.
And the people he is looking for to grow potatoes in later generations have extremely rich experience in growing potatoes.
Zhu Youzhen believes that they will definitely give themselves a good answer next year.
If he experiments based on his conjectures, he will definitely be able to find the secret of high grain yields.
After the people of various dynasties received the courier, where the weather was cold, they dug a thick layer of soil in their yard and buried the potatoes deep in it.
This will not only keep the potatoes warm, but also end yourself in the cold winter, so that you can take out the potatoes yourself.
And those who are able to do so, Che dug a cellar in his hospital and placed the potatoes and sweet potatoes to prevent the high-yielding crops from freezing when the cold winter comes.
But the people of the south, according to their own conditions, planted the potatoes directly in their own yards.
After all, the temperature here is not too cold even in that cold winter.
And I heard that the officials of the imperial court are also planting in their area.
So they did the same and started growing potatoes in their own yards.
They are now only hoping for a high yield of potatoes next year.
At the same time, I also fantasized that I would be able to eat enough every day in the future.
