Daming: Let you do your best to manage, do you go to health?

Chapter 128 is over, the emperor is crazy!
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help shaking his head.

"Life without understanding."

After leaving, Zhu Zhanqian, the fifth child, can be regarded as understanding the significance of what he is doing now.

It can be said that this expedition to Saibei, and even whether it can be remembered in history and included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, all depended on these people under his command.

Under such circumstances, how dare he neglect.

half a month later.

In the main camp of the Prairie Allied Forces.

Mahamu and Na also stood together first, frowning as they looked at the latest battle report in their hands.

I don't know why, but the frequency of trying to deliver supplies to the grasslands within the Ming Dynasty has dropped significantly recently.

Even in the past five or six days, no supply team has been seen walking on the grasslands in northern Saibei.

"There's something wrong with the recent movements of the Ming army," Mahamu said with a sad face.

"It should be said that the food and grass in the Ming army should be almost consumed. The supplies have not been delivered. They should be in a hurry. The supply teams in the Ming Dynasty should also be more frequent. But until now, they have not increased but decreased. Recently In a few days, there was almost no Ming army transporting supplies."

Hearing his grandfather's words, although he was also very puzzled, he said with relief: "Grandpa, is it possible that the Ming army knew that the supply line had been blocked by us everywhere, and they could only give up when they couldn't think of a way out?" supply?"

But as soon as these words came out, Mahamu immediately said: "Impossible!"

"I know that old man Zhu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is very stubborn. He will never give up using troops in Saibei because of such a small problem. What's more, now that there is a city where they station their troops, it is even more impossible for them to do so easily. give up."

While listening, he also speculated: "Could it be that the Ming army has already made preparations for the withdrawal of the army, leaving only a part of the troops to guard the city? In this way, the existing food of the Ming army should be enough for them edible."

It is said that Mahamu did not immediately deny this speculation.

"This may not be impossible, but in this way, the withdrawal of the Ming army is no different from retreating?"

For a while, the grandfather and grandson were very puzzled by the various actions of the Ming army.

I don't understand why the Ming army is so calm in the face of the crisis of running out of food and grass.

However, the reality is obviously not what they think.

In Dingbei city at this time.

When the old man Zhu Di heard the amount of food and grass reported by the quartermaster in front of him, his whole face was not very good-looking.

Because now, with the food and grass within the Ming army, it can only last for another ten days of normal consumption.

If you want to delay longer, you must reduce the consumption of food and grass within the army by a lot.

But once this happens, it is tantamount to telling the people in the army that the army is short of food and grass.

At that time, a series of problems will inevitably arise.

Being in Saibei, being ruled by others, far away from home, what could be more desperate than the possibility of not being able to eat in the future.

And Zhu Di, who led troops to fight all the year round, naturally understood this very well, so Zhu Di didn't agree with the quartermaster's words that he wanted to save food for the time being.

However, as the commander-in-chief of this army, it is still the emperor's old man Zhu Di, so it is naturally impossible to sit still and wait for death.

What just made him a little confused was that the frequency of the boss's delivery of supplies has been much slower recently.

It seems that after trying a few times, seeing that there is no effect, I simply give up.

Nowadays, the elites from all over the country are gathered here. The question of what they eat is that they can give up if they give up?

Although now they can also leave some soldiers and horses to guard the city at any time, and the army will retreat to the territory.

But in this way, isn't the boss forcing them to withdraw?

Obviously, the old man Zhu Di didn't believe that the old man would do such a thing.

If he wanted the army to retreat, he might have such an idea, but if he used this method to force the army to retreat, even if he was killed, Zhu Di would not believe it.

He still knows a little about his own son.

But now is obviously not the time to think about these things. What he has to do now is to solve the army's food problem as soon as possible.

Therefore, he sent someone to the shore of Baihaier Lake early in the morning, and called his grandson Zhu Zhanji back.

This kid has a clever mind, maybe he can think of a good way.

At this time, it was on the edge of Baihaier Lake.

Many soldiers have already begun to dig the foundations for the construction of the city.

When the straight road leading to Bohaier Lake had been built, at the request of Zhu Zhanji, the fifth brother Zhu Zhanqian also immediately started to build a new city.

Although it was a two-day journey away from Dingbei City, it was still quite dangerous.

But fortunately, in addition to the 20,000 people used to build the city, they also have a transport team of 10,000 people, all of which are the original cavalry of the army.

And the 5000 people stationed here.

With them there, as long as the coalition forces of all the tribes in the grassland are not dispatched as a whole, they can still resist for a while.

Furthermore, the Ming army was not blind. The locations of the various tribes in the grassland were very clear. As long as they made large-scale movements, they would be discovered immediately.

By that time, the Ming army will arrive soon after a two-day journey.

Therefore, safety is still guaranteed.

The most important thing is that the construction of the city here is obviously not as important as cutting off the supply line of the Ming army.

In this way, those people from all the tribes in the grassland were all focused on cutting off the supply line, and had no time to talk to them at all.

Just after Zhu Zhanji handed over the construction task here to the old five Zhu Zhanqian, he spent more than half a month leisurely by himself.

"His Royal Highness!"

Just when Zhu Zhanji called the two of them and was about to roast a sheep on the prairie to eat.

A messenger suddenly ran in front of Zhu Zhanji.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor has a decree, ordering His Royal Highness to return to Dingbei City immediately, and discuss important matters."

Hearing the messenger's words, Zhu Zhanji knocked on the sheep that had been almost grilled in front of him, and sighed helplessly.

Then he said, "Let's go."

Because there were only a few of them riding fast horses, the speed along the way was very fast.

It took about a day to arrive in Dingbei City.

But that was the next morning.

After Zhu Zhanji walked into the general's mansion built for the old man in Dingbei City.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the sad faces of everyone present at the first glance, and the whole atmosphere was very depressed.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji walked slowly to the old man Zhu Di, and said, "Grandson pays homage to the emperor."

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di who was sitting on the dragon chair raised his hand, frowned like everyone around him, and asked, "How is the construction of the straight road going?"

Facing the old man Zhu Di's question, Zhu Zhanji replied: "The straight road has been built, and the next thing is to build the city."

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di nodded, and then said: "Since your work is almost done, let that kid Zhan Qian do it. After all, he also has experience."

"Now our Ming army is stationed in Dingbei City. Although everything is fine and we have avoided the harassment of many grassland tribes, there is one thing that our army is running out of food and grass."

"Now there are 50 Ming troops stationed in Dingbei City, and they consume countless grains every day. After returning to the territory, although some grains and grasses have been replenished, the remaining grains and grasses are less than ten. The need of the day."

"And the army sent by the various tribes in the grassland chased and intercepted our supply route, and the supplies from the rear could not be delivered. Your brain has always been flexible. Think about it, what can you do?"

Hearing the old man Zhu Di's question, everyone around the venue focused their eyes on Zhu Zhanji.

These people have been discussing for a long time, but they still can't find a suitable solution.As a result of the discussion, the only solution to the current situation is to withdraw the entire Ming army to the territory, or to withdraw directly and leave some troops to guard here.

Or, lead the army to deliver supplies together.

Although the former can temporarily solve the problem of supply and logistics, the problem still exists, but it is only temporarily relieved by the retreat of the army.

But if the armies of the various tribes in the grassland continued to chase and block the supply line, the final result would still be the same.

Even in Dingbei City, they had to give up for the sake of the soldiers in the city.

After all, the armies of the various tribes in the grassland will not stop blocking the supply line because of the retreat of a large number of troops in the city.

In other words, the only way now is to lead the army to deliver the supplies of food and grass in person, and after receiving the food and grass, return to Dingbei City again.

But such an approach is obviously very stupid.

Not to mention this process, the Ming army's 50 troops were very bloated, and it was very laborious to dispatch.

Let's say that these 500,000 troops are back and forth, how much supplies can be transported up?

It took more than ten days, half a month, and one month's food to be transported with great difficulty. Just the time it took for the 50 troops to go back and forth would waste more than half of it.

Before they reach Dingbei City, they have to start to leave again. Isn't this tormenting themselves?

This is obviously not a good solution.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji, who was standing in the middle of the lobby, was not surprised at all after hearing the old man's question.

In fact, on the way he came, he had already guessed that the old man must have called him back for this matter.

After all, there are not many things that the Ming army needs to do at present. Apart from this matter, he can hardly think of anything else that would stump the old man.

Therefore, in the face of the old man's question, Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "Grandpa, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the problem of food and grass for the time being, grandson has a way to solve it."

As soon as Zhu Zhanji said this, everyone present was taken aback.

They thought that His Highness the Grandson might have some good solution to the current predicament, but they never expected that His Highness the Grandson's answer would be so easy.

Even the old man Zhu Di is the same.

His eyes widened, and he said, "You really have a way?"

Facing the inquiry, Zhu Zhanji nodded again and said, "There is a way."

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di became anxious immediately.

"If there is a way, you should say it!"

Facing the old man's questioning, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and looked at the generals around him.

Hearing this scene, the old man Zhu Di thought that he was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he immediately said: "You all step back first."

As soon as I said this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stopped the old man and said, "Grandpa, grandson didn't mean that."

"In short, grandson can solve the problem of food. Grandpa, you don't have to worry about it. The reason why grandson doesn't say anything now is because grandson doesn't want the tribes in the grassland to see that our army is not short of food!"

"Now the eyes of all the tribes in the grassland are focused on cutting off the logistics supply line of our Ming army. Since they think that this method can force our Ming army to withdraw, let them think so. Now we are at the Bohaier Lake. The city is being built on the side as soon as possible, and within three months, a brand new city will be built."

"If those grassland tribes realize that our army will not be short of food due to the cut off of the logistics supply line, and the soldiers will not be able to eat. They will definitely focus all their eyes on the Bohaier Lake. At that time, they will definitely They will send troops to interrupt and block our process of building the city."

"The construction time of the entire city will also be greatly delayed."

"So, my grandson thinks that instead of letting them go to Bohai'er Lake to disturb our construction progress, it's better for our army to cooperate with them and play a good show, so that they can be proud and happy that our Ming army's logistics supply line has been cut off and there is no food. , will soon be forced to withdraw.”

After Zhu Zhanji spoke out his plan, everyone present understood.

Especially the old man Zhu Di sitting on the dragon chair.

When he discussed with his eldest grandson whether the straight road should be built to Bohaier Lake or the Ming Dynasty, he was very puzzled why he insisted on building this straight road to Bohaier Lake.

Although it will not play much role in building it into the territory, it will not play any role in cutting off the enemy's own transportation and supply lines.

But this is a straight road leading to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as the link between Dingbei City and the territory.

It won't be effective now, but it will be more effective in the future.

If they could not establish a stable transportation and supply line with the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then their Dingbei City would be an isolated city hanging in the north of the Great Wall after all.

But if a stable supply and demand supply line is established with the territory, then this entire piece of land will become their land of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not an exaggeration to directly incorporate it into the layout.

At that time, seeing that the boy was so determined, there was not much debate.

It wasn't until this moment that I understood why the kid did this.

The feeling is that this kid has already solved the problem of food and grass for the 50 people of his Ming army from the very beginning, so he doesn't care about logistics supplies at all.

In this case, it is natural to build a straight road leading to Bohaier Lake as the best choice.

Because every time a city is built, the pressure on these grassland tribes increases.

The more land they eat away.

The actual control area of ​​the Ming army is also larger.

If the establishment of a stable supply line is considered to stabilize the situation, then building a new city is to expand the territory.

This is more direct than annihilating the enemy's tens of thousands of troops.

Because you killed tens of thousands of opponents, these lands may not be yours, but now that the city is built, there is no need to fight, and these lands will become yours.

After thinking about these reasons, the old man Zhu Di stopped asking any more questions.

Since this kid in his family has full confidence, why is he worrying for no reason.

However, he still asked suspiciously: "Your father is not in a hurry to transport supplies and grass in the court recently, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Obviously.

After the old man figured out Zhu Zhanji's plan, he also had the answer to his doubts about what his boss had done before.

Facing the old man's question, Zhu Zhanji smiled immediately and said: "Grandpa also knows that my father is not in good health, so we can't let him worry too much about our war here, so my grandson secretly wrote a letter to my father. Explained it."

After hearing what his eldest grandson said, the old man Zhu Di suddenly understood.

really.

This matter has something to do with this brat.

He was still wondering before, that the boss was so diligent in transporting grain and grass before, but was blocked by those grassland tribes, and he had been trying all the time, why these days, he suddenly stopped.

The truth is that both this kid and his father understand, only he, the old man, is kept in the dark.

Thinking of this, the old man Zhu Di scolded: "As long as your father is not in good health, you can't worry too much, your grandfather and I will be fine?"

Zhu Zhanji also had something to say about this.

"If I had told Grandpa about this in advance, wouldn't it be a fake?"

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di immediately laughed.

But if he thought about it carefully, if he had known about this in advance, he would not have stopped the recent annihilation of the vital forces of the various tribes in the grassland.

If the leaders of the tribes in the grassland realized that their Ming army didn't seem to be paying so much attention to the supply issue, they might really see something wrong.

Thinking of this, the old man Zhu Di stopped asking.

However, after he drove away everyone present.

Still looking at his eldest grandson, he asked, "Just tell me the truth, where are you going to get the food from?"

Listening to the old man's words, Zhu Zhanji smiled, then came to the old man's side, and whispered something in his ear.

As Zhu Zhanji said the answer, the old man Zhu Di showed a very confused look in his eyes.

Until Zhu Zhanji left with a smile, the old man Zhu Di was still full of doubts.

After telling the old man his answer, Zhu Zhanji didn't stay any longer.

In this way, Dingbei City is full of soldiers, and there is nothing that needs him, so after pulling more than a dozen carts of gunpowder in the army, he led people towards the Bohaier Lake.

Late that night.

The old man Zhu Di, who was supposed to have fallen asleep already, got up and walked out of the city with [-] or [-] soldiers from the imperial camp after the King of Han and King Zhao were called by him.

The whole process didn't alarm anyone.

After everyone arrived outside Dingbei City, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help asking: "What are you doing outside the city at night?"

Hearing what the second child said, the third child Zhu Gaosui also looked over.

Not only the two of them, but even Fan Zhong who was beside the old man and dozens of soldiers from the Yuqianying were very puzzled.

Obviously, no one knew the purpose of the old man's trip.

"That's right, Dad, it's late at night, the night breeze on the grassland is cool, if you have anything to do, just tell us brothers, you look like you're blown."

However, in the face of everyone's inquiries, the old man Zhu Di did not give them any reply.

He just pointed at the land outside the city and said, "Dig!"

Hearing the old man's words, the second child Zhu Gaoxu and the third child Zhu Gaosui suddenly showed puzzled expressions.

dig?
What are you digging?

Could it be that there is still some treasure buried in the land of Saibei?
Unable to help, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Father, what exactly do you want us to dig? What can we dig in this poor place?"

However, when the old man Zhu Di heard his words, he frowned and said, "If you tell you to dig, just dig, there's no such thing as shit."

Seeing what the old man said, the second child Zhu Gaoxu and the third child Zhu Gaosui looked at each other, and didn't say anything more. They mentioned the tools they had prepared before, and started digging in the open space.

Seeing that both the King of Han and the King of Zhao were making moves, Fan Zhong who was at the side also hurriedly led the brothers from the Yuqianying to start making moves.

soon.

Accompanied by the continuous excavation of the crowd.

Under the light of the torch, a soldier from the Imperial Battalion suddenly said in surprise, "Huh? What is this?"

Although this person's surprised voice was not loud, but now everyone is outside the city, surrounded by darkness and silence.

His low voice of doubt was immediately heard by everyone present.

Before waiting for the people around to make any moves, the old man Zhu Di who was standing aside was the first to walk over.

"Bring it here, let me see."

Hearing the emperor's words, the soldiers naturally handed over the things in their hands to the emperor Zhu Di immediately.

Fan Zhong on the side also hastily brought the torch closer.

In the suspicious eyes of everyone, a thing covered with mud appeared in everyone's eyes.

Looking at the thing in front of him, the old man Zhu Di, like everyone around him, had never seen it before.

At the same time of doubt, he took a dagger from a soldier and cut the dirt-covered thing in his hand.

And after the thing was cut open, the white flesh was immediately exposed.

Just when the people around are still puzzled, what is this thing and what is the use?

The old man Zhu Di cut off a small piece of it and put it in his mouth amidst the shock of everyone around him.

Seeing this scene, the second child Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "Father! You can't eat this casually! I don't know what it is yet!"

The third child Zhu Gaosui and Fan Zhong said the same thing.

But the old man Zhu Di ignored them at all. After eating one piece, he felt that it was not enough, so he cut another large piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

As the old man Zhu Di continued to chew, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Then, as if he had seen through everything, he handed the thing in his hand to the second child Zhu Gaoxu, and said, "Try it too."

Seeing the appearance of mud all around this thing, he Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu naturally didn't want to eat this thing.

It looks like there is no appetite.

However, when he saw that his old man ate it all and told him to eat it, the second child Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to follow the old man's instructions, cut off a piece of clean meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gradually, a sweet feeling emerged in the mouth.

With continuous chewing, the sweet taste becomes more intense.

This surprised Zhu Gaoxu a little.

Looking at the mud all around, looking dirty, it's not good to eat, but it's by no means unpalatable.

Even the sweet feeling is very refreshing.

Even if you eat it as a fruit, there is no problem at all.

Then he handed over the things in his hand to Zhu Gaosui, the third child, and Fan Zhong to taste separately.

After everyone had tasted it, the third brother Zhu Gaosui, who had a good memory, couldn't help recalling in doubt: "Father, second child, how can I remember that I have eaten this taste?"

"This taste! I remembered!"

"It was when our family went on an outing, that kid Zhu Zhanji ate it when he made us hot pot!"

Following the words of the third child Zhu Gaosui, the second child Zhu Gaoxu and the old man Zhu Di also remembered the past.

This thing seems to have been eaten!

"I remember, the eldest nephew said at the time, what is this called? Sweet potato??"

"Yes! Sweet potato! It's called sweet potato!"

Listening to the words of his two sons, the old man Zhu Di naturally recalled these things, but at this time, he did not come here to recall the past.

Then he said to the second and third child, as well as Fan Zhong and the people in Yuqianying: "Keep digging!"

"Yes!"

After understanding what the old man wanted them to dig, everyone started to act without any hesitation this time.

And as their digging became more and more proficient, more and more things were dug out.

Under the digging of dozens of people, it took about a quarter of an hour to dig up a large pile of sweet potatoes in an open space in front of the city gate.

In addition to these sweet potatoes that I just tasted, there are also a lot of things that look similar to sweet potatoes but have white flesh inside.

The stuff that was dug out later tasted colorless and tasteless, and even tasted a bit jerky.

Unappetizing.

Seeing the two of his family who started to vomit out after eating this thing, the old man Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

I just don't know whether the old man is happy because of these things dug up, or just laughing because of these two live treasures.

But after vomiting, the youngest Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but said: "Father, this area is quite full of treasures. I just dug for a while, and I dug up so much. Look, it's just such a piece of land. I just don’t know if there are any other places.”

But after finishing speaking in surprise, the youngest Zhu Gaosui also continued: "However, Dad, you took us out at night to dig these things? If you want to eat, just tell us to dig it. Is it still necessary for you to come out in person?"

However, what the youngest Zhu Gaosui didn't notice was that the old man Zhu Di froze in place after hearing the first half of the youngest's words.

As for the second half of his flattering words, he didn't listen at all.

The old man Zhu Di turned around and looked at the things around him, there were a lot of them like a hill.

Then he asked the third child Zhu Gaosui and the second child Zhu Gaoxu: "Tell me, how heavy is this pile of things?"

At this time, under the darkness, after hearing what the old man Zhu Di said, everyone couldn't see the expression on his face. They thought it was just a casual question, so they glanced at the sweet potatoes on the ground and said: "These two piles If you add it all up, how come it weighs seventy or eighty catties?"

After hearing what the second child said, Zhu Di seemed to understand something. While shocked, he hurriedly said to everyone: "Quick! Keep digging! I'll finish digging this piece!"

Seeing that the old man suddenly became agitated, everyone was a little puzzled.

Could it be that these two piles of food are not enough for the old man to eat?

But since the old man had said everything, they couldn't say anything, so they hurriedly followed the old man's words and continued to dig.

A whole hour's time.

Under the digging of these dozens of people, piles of sweet potatoes and that unknown thing were dug out.

Neatly stacked into piles of piles.

Under the special instruction of the old man, the scope of their excavation was about seventy or eighty feet.

The length and width are almost seventy or eighty feet.

According to the calculation, it is basically about one mu of land.

Not quite as precise, but close enough.

When all these things were stacked on the cart, there were more than a dozen carts piled up! !

This scene stunned everyone present.

Although everyone was surprised just now, so many things were dug out on such a small amount of land.

But when they really dug carefully, they discovered that there were so many goods hidden in this piece of land!
"That's too much."

The youngest Zhu Gaosui looked at this in surprise, there were so many sweet potatoes unknowingly dug up by their group!

There are more than a dozen cars installed!
This is simply incredible.

However, what everyone was surprised at this time was only because these sweet potatoes looked a lot on the surface.

But what they don't know is that the old man Zhu Di standing beside them at this time is more than they thought!
These generals can't think of too many things, but although Zhu Di likes to fight, he is not bad at governing the country!
He is very clear about what these sweet potatoes represent.

He, Zhu Di, knows very well how much wheat and rice an acre of land can produce.

But now they are excavating only about an acre of land.

But look at the scene in front of you, how many were produced? ?

You must know that no matter whether it is wheat or rice, it needs to go through some processing steps after production to get the final edible rice and flour.

There will also be losses in the middle.

But look at these sweet potatoes in front of you.

A dozen cars!
All the inner flesh can be eaten as long as it is washed with water.

How many sweet potatoes are there?
Almost five or six times the output of wheat and rice! ! !
Five or six times! ! !

The weight of these sweet potatoes and the thing that seems to be called potatoes will never be less than four or five thousand catties! !
Even in the best rice fields in the south, the best rice produced by one mu of land is only eight or nine hundred catties!
This is only the best rice field in the Jiangnan area to achieve this output.

Ordinary rice fields can never reach this level!
If these sweet potatoes and potatoes can be used for large-scale planting.
As a result, Zhu Di couldn't imagine it.

This is amazing!
In order to test whether this yield was a coincidence due to a special place, Zhu Didang said: "This area, keep digging!"

Hearing the old man's words, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui were stunned.

"Father, keep digging, you've already dug so much."

"What nonsense! Dig!" At this time, the old man Zhu Di didn't have the time to chat with them.

He desperately wanted to get the answer to his guess.

And with the people digging again and again.

quickly
As before, more than a dozen carts of sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug out.

see this result.

The old man Zhu Di let out a long sigh of relief, and then burst out laughing for no reason under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Seeing that the old man was so happy, the people beside him were stunned.

They all looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor was happy about.

"Okay, stop digging. Take these things and go back to the city!"

"By the way, Fan Zhong, go and call Zhu Zhanji back to me early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

After everyone returned to the city.

Throughout the whole night, Fan Zhong, who was on duty outside the emperor's room, would hear the emperor's laughter coming from the room from time to time.

I don't know what I'm happy about, this laughter lasted all night.

Even those who didn't understand the inside story thought the emperor was crazy.

Early the next morning.

Even Zhu Di, who hadn't slept all night, was still full of energy, with a smile on his face wherever he went.

The generals who came to report the incident were all surprised.

I don't know what kind of happy things happened to the emperor, so happy.

You know, the emperor's face is always serious on weekdays.

On the edge of Bohaier Lake.

Zhu Zhanji, who was roasting hares, soon received an order from the old man in Dingbei City asking him to go back.

After hearing what the man in front of him said, Zhu Zhanji knew exactly what the old man asked him to do, so he said directly to the messenger who came to pass the message: "I won't go back, please bring me a few words to the emperor." .”

"One mu of sweet potatoes weighs 2500 catties, and one mu of potatoes weighs 5000 catties!"

Hearing the words of His Highness the Grandson in front of him, the messenger looked puzzled: "Your Highness, the Emperor's order is for you to go back in person."

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "I understand, you just take the message back."

Seeing this, the messenger didn't want to say anything more, but he still asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what do these two sentences mean? Your subordinate. Your subordinate doesn't quite understand."

But Zhu Zhanji said: "You don't need to understand, just pass the words to the emperor, and the emperor will naturally know."

Hearing this, the messenger had no choice but to say goodbye and salute before leaving.

the next day.

When the messenger returned to Dingbei City.

For the news of his grandson Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di, who had been waiting for two full days, was discussing something with the generals in the army.

After seeing the messenger come back, he immediately summoned him.

"Where's the grandson?"

Seeing him alone, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning and asked.

Hearing the emperor's question, the messenger hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, His Highness Taisun said that he will not come back this time, and too much time wasted on the road. He asked his subordinates to bring a few words to the emperor. "

Hearing this, Zhu Di immediately frowned and said, "Say what you want."

The messenger immediately repeated the two sentences Taisun said.

"One mu of sweet potatoes weighs 2500 catties, and one mu of potatoes weighs 5000 catties!"

Following the words of the messenger, the people present were very puzzled by the two sentences in his mouth, and did not understand what the two sentences meant.

What sweet potatoes, what potatoes.

What is the meaning of 2500 catties and 5000 catties per mu?
Those who haven't experienced what happened that night naturally don't know what these words mean.

Maybe Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, and the commander of the Yuqian Camp Fan Zhong who were standing aside all went out that night with the old man Zhu Di.

Even those sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug by themselves.

If it is said that they hadn't figured out why the old man Zhu Di was so happy and why they dug these things.

But now, after hearing that this matter was related to that grandson Zhu Zhanji, he immediately thought of what the grandson Zhu Zhanji said here.

Don't worry about supplies, the food has already been prepared.

Hard to do.
What they dug that night was the grain and grass Taisun prepared for the army?
There are also two sentences from the grandson.

The yield of sweet potatoes is 2500 jin per mu, and that of potatoes is 5000 jin per mu!
They probably didn't have a clear idea of ​​how heavy those potatoes and sweet potatoes were that night.

I don't understand what these all mean.

But when this detailed number appeared in their minds, they couldn't help comparing it with that of rice and wheat.

In contrast, they immediately discovered the meaning contained in these two sentences.

For an instant.

Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, and Fan Zhong from the Yuqian camp who were standing aside were all stunned in the field.

With incredible eyes, he looked at the people who participated in this incident that night.

Only when they saw the shock in the other party's eyes did they dare to believe that what they heard was not wrong!
These people just don't farm the land anymore, but in the era of feudal dynasties, how could they not know the yield of wheat and rice per mu.

How could it be possible not to know that the food that all the people of the Ming Dynasty rely on today comes from that wheat and rice.

Today, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes and potatoes is four or five times that of wheat and rice!
What does this mean?
What impact will it have?
You can understand it when you think about it with your butt.

In an instant, they finally understood why the old man Zhu Di called them all out that night, and only brought a few people with him.

They have to let them dig up those two pieces of land.

It's not that the old man Zhu Di wants to eat these things at all.

Instead, it is calculating, calculating how many potatoes and sweet potatoes can be produced!
But now, that kid Zhu Zhanji has revealed the secret in two sentences.

The yield of sweet potatoes is 2500 jin per mu, and that of potatoes is 5000 jin per mu!
Accompanied by the Han King Zhao Wang and Fan Zhong after the initial shock, they looked at Zhu Dishi who was sitting on the dragon chair.

At this time, the old man Zhu Di only showed a smiling gesture.

But they, who understand everything, can see that the old man must be suppressing the true emotions in their hearts at this moment.

Because such a discovery is simply appalling!
　Ask for a monthly pass!
