Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Sweet potatoes harvested?
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao's words, he couldn't help being stunned.

Speaking of which, today he has received too many surprises from this bastard Mei Yin.

It’s just one thing after another!
Whether it is the feudal system of vassal kings or the terrifying, three-hundred-year-old law of the dynasty.

Or maybe it was the solution given by Mei Yin to solve this three-hundred-year curse.

To him, that was extremely important.

It made him think deeply about many things.

He saw places he had never seen before and ignored by him.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Biao'er's harvest from that bastard boy this time was simply too much.

But who would have thought that now his own Biao'er actually said that he had a big surprise for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a person who especially likes to hear good news.

But at this time, even he couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard these words from his own Biao'er.

This certainly does not mean that he thinks there is too much good news.

It’s really a great harvest today!
It was so big that he couldn't accept it for a while.

After so much good news, there is still one!
While Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little surprised and surprised, he also began to look forward to what good news Biao'er said.

You can ask Biao'er to talk about this matter after talking about those things.

That’s definitely not ordinary!
As a result, while he was full of expectations, he heard his Biao'er say that the sweet potatoes had been harvested.

This really surprised him.

If the sweet potatoes are harvested, let’s harvest them.

Regarding sweet potatoes, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that there was such a thing.

I also knew that this was Mei Yin, so I left some weeds I had never seen before and found that they would bear fruit, and the fruit tasted pretty good.

However, although he paid attention to these, he only paid some attention to them.

He quickly put it behind him and didn't think about it any more.

After all, he also has a lot of things to be busy with and a lot of big things to do.

When Mei Yin didn't admonish him and he didn't own a simulator, he had to do more.

Now, Mei Yin, that bastard, is giving him tough advice from time to time, and he has also seen a lot of things through the simulator that he didn't know before.

There are even more things to be busy with.

Compared with these things, the portion of an unknown crop like sweet potato is not that big in Zhu Yuanzhang's place.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this thing is a relatively delicious food.

The positive effect it had on Ming Dynasty was far from that strong.

It's just one more thing that can be eaten by the people.

It won't make much difference.

Because he didn’t think the sweet potato yield was that high.

As a result, now, my own Biao'er is so excited to tell herself that this is good news.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang a little confused.

After doubting it, some other thoughts came into my mind.

Could it be... could it be that sweet potatoes are quite extraordinary and the yield exceeds my imagination?

That's why my Biao'er said it was a big surprise at this time? !
After realizing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Biao'er, this...could it be that the yield of this thing is very good, comparable to wheat, rice and other grains?"

After asking this question, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this should be the truth of the matter.

If he couldn't achieve such output and his own standard, he would definitely not say it to himself in such a tone.

He suddenly became excited.

He really didn't expect that these sweet potatoes would be so productive!

For him, if the yield of sweet potatoes is not too large, it actually doesn't mean much.

It cannot bring much substantial benefits to the many people of Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's national power cannot be greatly enhanced.

It's just one more crop that is dispensable.

But if the yield of sweet potatoes can be comparable to that of wheat and rice.

Many things become completely different!
A brand new crop that can rival the yields of two mainstream crops, wheat and rice, is of great significance!
Just thinking about it makes people excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well what this meant!

After hearing what his father said, Zhu Biao shook his head.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this action of his eldest son, his expression suddenly froze, and the joy in his heart suddenly dropped.

I think too much!

That's right, it's just a weed discovered by that guy Mei Yin.

Even if it is relatively delicious and the yield is good, how big can the yield be?

How can it be compared with wheat and rice?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly seemed disappointed.

But after I was disappointed, I thought about it a little more, and I'm definitely not that disappointed anymore.

Such a result is only reasonable.

If a wild fruit is found at random, its yield can exceed the yield of crops such as wheat and rice.

That is really unrealistic and outrageous!

Even people like Zhu Yuanzhang who like to hear good news find it impossible.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhu Biao's voice rang again.

"Father, the yield of this sweet potato far exceeds that of wheat and rice!"

What the hell? !
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of disappointment, heard the words from his own Biao'er.

Everyone was shocked.

There was a moment of daze.

For a moment, I just felt filled with disbelief.

I was wondering if there was something wrong with my ears and I heard something wrong.

What did you hear from Biao'er? !

Actually...the yield of sweet potatoes far exceeds that of wheat and rice?

Biao'er just shook his head, not because he said the yield of sweet potatoes was too high, but because he said the yield of sweet potatoes was too low? !
This... this is too outrageous, too unbelievable, right?
After cultivating a random wild fruit.

There is such an outrageous output? !

"Biao'er, you...you're not kidding me, are you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang jumped up from his chair.

Came to Zhu Biao's side.

He leaned forward slightly, looking at Zhu Biao, staring at him closely, asking questions.

When he asked this question, there was a trace of trembling and eagerness in his voice.

It wasn't that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have enough determination, it was just that the news he heard from his grown-up son was too surprising!
The yield of sweet potatoes far exceeds that of wheat and rice? !

Originally, in his imagination, sweet potatoes were a great crop if they could reach the yield of wheat and rice.

It's worth being excited about.

As a result, now, the news I got from my Biao'er is that the yield of this thing is far greater than that of wheat and rice!

This...why does it sound so bizarre?

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe these, it's just that they are too unexpected.

It’s hard to believe!
If what his Biao'er said was true, then what a big surprise this would be for Daming!

"Father, I didn't lie to you.

In such a big event, there is absolutely no chance that the child will have any jokes.

The yield of sweet potatoes is extremely high! "

Zhu Biao looked a little excited when he saw his father's excitement.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, he said seriously: "Today, my second brother-in-law and I dug a total of twenty-three sweet potatoes over there.

The result was two large baskets.

Over a hundred pounds! "

Twenty-three sweet potatoes weigh more than a hundred pounds? !

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Biao and said: "Then... how many plants can be planted in one acre of land?
Just calculate it according to the density of what you planted in your second brother-in-law's field. "

Zhu Biao said: "Probably two thousand to two thousand five hundred plants can be planted."

Regarding this matter, Zhu Biao had obviously calculated it based on his observations and measurements while on the road.

So at this time, when faced with his father's inquiry, he said it directly.

"What the hell? So many?!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhu Biao said, he suddenly became excited.

Then quickly make some calculations here.

Twenty-three sweet potatoes can weigh over a hundred pounds, so... if there are more than two thousand sweet potatoes...

"If you calculate it this way, one acre of land can weigh... over 10,000 kilograms?!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhu Biao with a trembling voice and said these words with shock.

He couldn't help but swallowed hard.

Obviously, I was shocked by this extremely astonishing number, and my heart was filled with extreme disbelief!
"Father, I have calculated it, and it is true... that it can exceed ten thousand catties.

The second brother-in-law said that this may be because the land where he grows sweet potatoes is good land, and there is a lot of manure on it, making the land fertile.

These sweet potatoes also take a long time to grow.

That's why there is such output.

If we didn't take care of it so carefully, we definitely wouldn't be able to achieve this kind of output..."

"That's okay!

Even if you give a discount, it will be eight thousand gold catties, and if you give another discount, it will be six thousand gold catties!
Even with a little more discount, it’s still five thousand pounds! "

One acre of land requires at least five thousand kilograms of foundation. What the hell is this concept? !
Zhu Yuanzhang became excited instantly, rushed forward, grabbed Zhu Biao's shoulders, and shook him hard.

"Biao'er, you... what you said, are all... true?

You...don't lie to your father! Don't lie to your father! ! "

Zhu Yuanzhang's hands suddenly became particularly powerful at this time, like two iron pliers, tightly clamping Zhu Biao's shoulders.

I don't know how much strength he has in him at this time.

He actually looked like he was going to lift Zhu Biao from the ground!
His eyes instantly became bloodshot and he stared at Zhu Biao.

There are many colors in his eyes, and many complex expressions are surging.

There is both great excitement and special worry.

I am very afraid that I will get false news from my eldest son.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the possibility of it being false news was extremely small.

My family's Biao'er is a measured person and will never lie to me, my father, on this matter.

Make jokes to yourself.

But this output is really amazing!
Too high!
It cannot be doubted.

That's a guaranteed yield per mu, with an output of five thousand kilograms!

If it's so tall, it can weigh more than ten thousand pounds!
What is this concept? !

You know, the highest yield of wheat today is less than 500 kilograms per mu.

That is the result of having the best ground, applying a lot of fertilizer, caring for it carefully, and having good weather.

As for ordinary land, if calculated normally, one acre of land can weigh two hundred kilograms, which is considered the best harvest!

As for rice, overall, the yield per acre is higher than that of wheat.

But it won't be too much higher.

The best kind can't even reach 600 kilograms.

This is a particularly good field, the result of careful tending.

Generally speaking, if one acre of land can reach 300 kilograms, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to bow to heaven and earth and thank him for the good weather.

As a result, now, I learned from my own Biao'er that one acre of sweet potatoes can actually produce such a large yield!
Doesn’t this mean that the yield of sweet potatoes is about twenty times that of rice? !
One acre of land is worth twenty acres? !
How could this not make Zhu Yuanzhang excited?
How could he dare to believe this was true?
Feeling the excitement of his father, he also felt the pain coming from his shoulders.

Zhu Biao didn't struggle, let alone feel any pain.

Zhu Biao can understand that his father would have such a reaction.

He is a person who is not so impressed by hunger.

After calculating how high the sweet potato yield per acre was, Shang was so shocked that he couldn't help but feel shocked!

Not to mention the father!

My father was my parents and brothers, and many people died of hunger.

My father himself almost starved to death several times!

Under such circumstances, you suddenly get a crop with a ridiculously high yield, like a myth, and it is unbelievable. It is perfectly normal to have such a reaction!
"Father, really, these are all true!
The child was there this time. He went to the field with his second brother-in-law to dig sweet potatoes.

The children also measured how much land there was.

These children also made careful calculations on the road.

It's all true.

According to the standards in the second brother-in-law's field, one acre of land can really weigh over 10,000 kilograms!

Even if the output is cut in half, it would still be 5,000 kilograms.

Father, I...Da Ming, I, Da Ming, really got a kind of seed this time, a very good, very good seed!
It’s my great fortune! "

Zhu Biao also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a shocked expression, and said these words eagerly.

As the prince, he knew very well how much such an extremely high-yielding crop meant to the Ming Dynasty and its people!
Zhu Yuanzhang's body was trembling and his eyes were red.

The hands holding Zhu Biao's shoulders became stronger.

No matter how unbelievable it is, no matter how hard it is, it can’t be true.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also believed it!
I have repeatedly confirmed this matter with my boss.

And Biao'er is a particularly reliable person.

I certainly won’t be rambling on these things.

So... that means that these are all true?
Did the Ming Dynasty really get such a crop with extremely amazing yields? !

As excited as Zhu Yuanzhang's mood is, he will be as excited as possible

It's almost like I just got Mei Yin's idea from Zhu Biao, which solved the big problem of feudal kings.

And I was even more excited to hear the shocking curse of the three-hundred-year-old dynasty and the corresponding solution!
Even in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, it is more important than these things put together!

He was born into a poor family and suffered great misfortunes as a child.

Hunger has been with him for a long time and has brought him too many bad memories.

When he thinks of these things, he feels extremely sad.

It wasn't just his own family that was ruined because of hunger.

There are many other homes as well.

'The land is full of hunger and death, and people change their children to eat'

This is just eight simple words in the history books.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, each of these eight words was extremely heavy, weighing more than ten thousand kilograms!
Forget forever!

It’s a history of blood and tears! It’s a scene of human tragedy!

It was a scene he had personally experienced and seen with his own eyes!

It's something that he doesn't want to think about too much. Every time he thinks about it, he feels extremely sad!
Now, there is such a miraculous crop.

In the future, they can promote it and let many people plant it.

So once something like this is done, how many fewer people will die!
How many people will be saved from starving to death?

You can't think about these things more and more. As soon as you think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang becomes extremely excited!
The mood is exciting!
His body couldn't help but tremble.

After a moment of this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally released his iron-like hands. He stood there without speaking for a long time, but his body was shaking violently.

After a moment of this, a smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

And the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help it anymore, raised his head and laughed, his voice was particularly cheerful.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile when he saw his father so happy.

He knew that his father would be extremely happy when he got such great news!
Special joy!
Now looking at his father who was laughing loudly, Zhu Biao felt happy in his heart.

It had been a long time since he had seen his father smile so happily!

While feeling happy, I am also particularly grateful to my second brother-in-law.

If it weren't for the second brother-in-law, who was more thoughtful and kept this kind of weed that he had never seen before, to see what it would become.

Damn myself, I will definitely miss such a particularly important crop!
I don’t know how big the loss will be!
At this time, seeing their father so happy, the second brother-in-law was even more grateful.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, after laughing for a while, his laughter slowly became smaller.

The laughter also gradually changed its tone.

There were choking sounds.

After a while, the laughter stopped completely, and Zhu Biao heard his father's sobs.

He looked up, only to find that at some point, his father had tears flowing down his eyes.

Drop by drop fell to the ground.

"Why did you come here?
Why did this sweet potato come here!
If only this had happened decades earlier, how wonderful it would be!

How wonderful it would be! !
How many people will not starve to death?

Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother... you... you don't have to die of hunger.

Our family will not become ruined...

Father, mother, you have suffered..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said these words with a cry.

The more I spoke, the more tears flowed down my face.

The flood gates are open.

After talking about it, I couldn't help but sit on the ground and burst into tears.

Can't even hold it back.

Everyone was crying and twitching.

The majestic Emperor Hongwu not long ago killed more than 3,000 officials across the country who were corrupt, bribed, and practiced favoritism without blinking an eye.

This is an existence that makes many officials tremble with fear when they mention it.

At this time, I was crying like a baby in confinement...

Zhu Biao on the side looked at his father, crying like this, and he couldn't help but his eyes turned red and he shed tears.

After all this time, he has never seen his father cry like this.

It is even said that it is rare for even my father to shed tears.

In Zhu Biao's impression, his father was a man with extremely tough character and no fear of danger!
No matter how big the difficulty is, he will work hard to deal with it.

Do not admit defeat.

He can scold his mother, jump on his feet, and want to kill his entire family and the nine tribes!

I wish I could knock all the enemies to the ground.

But rarely shed tears...

So much so that Zhu Biao sometimes wondered whether his father would not shed a tear even if the sky fell.

But now, his father is crying, and he is crying in front of his son.

My father is a face-saving person who is ashamed to show his weakness in front of others.

Even for him, his most beloved son, the same is true.

My father may feel uncomfortable and his mood may fluctuate greatly.

But he usually hides these very well when in front of others.

Only when you are alone will you lick your wounds silently.

But today, my father has changed.

No longer hiding his emotions.

He actually cried like this in front of himself.

Zhu Biao did not feel that his father had lost the majesty that an emperor should have by crying so much.

On the contrary, I felt that my father who was crying at this time was more flesh and blood.

He is an eternal emperor!
Zhu Biao admired an emperor from the bottom of his heart who could cry like this for the Ming Dynasty to get such good crops.

He could feel the excitement in his father's heart and the pain that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years.

He knew how much his experiences in his youth, especially the fact that most of his parents, brothers and other close relatives died of hunger, had an impact on his father.

This is the pain that has been weighing on my father's heart for so many years.

At this time, after suddenly seeing a crop with such an astonishing yield, my father's mood fluctuated greatly, which was normal.
Let your father have a good cry!

The more you cry, the less uncomfortable you feel!

The stone weighing on my heart is no longer so heavy.

My father has been so tired all these years.

It’s really tiring!
Everyone else saw his magnificence, and saw him sitting on the throne and scolding Fang Qiu.

Only people who are familiar with him can understand how difficult it is for my father to work hard for so many years and get to where he is now!

How many difficulties have they gone through!

Is my father really willing to only sleep for two hours a day?

it's not true!

If you sleep for a long time, your father will be able to sleep as well.

It's just that...in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there were countless things happening.

My father had no intention of sleeping more.

Thinking about these things, listening to his father's cry.

Zhu Biao couldn't help crying either.

Many people have only seen the legend of my father going from being a beggar to becoming the emperor now.

But they have overlooked how much hardship is involved in this huge identity change...

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped crying.

I wiped away my tears and nose, and wiped them on the soles of my shoes.

When I stood up, I felt my head hurt.

Somewhat dizzy.

This was so emotional that I cried.

"Biao'er, where are the sweet potatoes?
Did you bring back the sweet potatoes? "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked, still emotionally excited.

But compared to before, the condition has improved a lot.

Zhu Biao said: "Father, the child has brought back a basket."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran outside Wuying Palace and moved a basket of sweet potatoes in with some difficulty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on the sweet potato, he couldn't move away immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly squatted down and took out some sweet potatoes with some soil from the basket.

Look at it carefully and touch it gently.

I couldn't bear to let it go for a while.

It's like looking at an extremely rare treasure.

When he saw the colored glaze fired at Mei Yin before, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay as much attention and excitement to it as he did now, as it was so exquisite and could be sold for a big price.

This is food!
It turns out that this is sweet potato!

This is what sweet potatoes look like!
It turns out that this kind of fruit can weigh an extremely exaggerated 10,000 kilograms per acre!
He held the sweet potato in both hands and was reluctant to put it down for a long time.

He knew very well how significant this thing was to his own Ming Dynasty!
With this thing, my Ming Dynasty will definitely save many people from starving to death.

It can also increase the population a lot.

The more people there are, the greater the power.

While satisfying Zhu Yuanzhang's most simple wish, he also knew that once crops with extremely high yields such as sweet potatoes could be promoted on a large scale.

So in the future, our country in the Ming Dynasty will definitely be more stable than that in the Han and Tang Dynasties!
Because of this, a small amount of land can feed a large number of people.

Many people were able to survive.

Under such circumstances, naturally not so many people would rise up in rebellion.

Just like himself, if he hadn't been really desperate, he would have starved to death.

How could he rebel with a knife and end up where he is today?

"Good stuff! Really good stuff!
It’s round and round, and the size makes me happy just by looking at it! "

After Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sweet potatoes for a while, he couldn't help but praise them.

How do you look at this sweet potato and find it pleasing to the eye?

The words of praise came out one after another from his mouth.

To be fair, these sweet potatoes don't look good.

Many of them dug out of the soil have more or less soil stuck to them.

Some of the sweet potatoes even had their skins broken on them.

But under the influence of its extremely exaggerated yield, Zhu Yuanzhang could never tire of these sweet potatoes at this time.

No matter how you look at them, you find them pleasing to the eye.

No matter how many words of praise he applied to them, he felt they were particularly appropriate.

This sweet potato deserves such praise from me!
He couldn't put it down, but he was also careful, for fear of damaging it.

"Biao'er, how do these sweet potatoes taste?"

When Zhu Biao heard that his father asked about this matter, Zhu Biao immediately became energetic.

"Father, the taste of these sweet potatoes is beyond praise!

Very sweet!
Especially this kind of sweet potato with a red heart, after being steamed, it tastes like sugar.

Make people want to eat it after eating it.

This kind of sweet potato with a white heart, special noodles, dry noodles.

But the taste is particularly good, it tastes sweet, like eating chestnuts.

It is also particularly good at fighting hunger.

The child ate sweet potatoes at my second brother-in-law’s place yesterday and was not hungry all night.
This morning, I also ate sweet potatoes at my second brother-in-law’s place. I ate three and a half of them and rushed all the way back. I still don’t feel hungry..."

The sweet potato seedlings Mei Yin obtained from the system are all particularly good and fine varieties.

For people who are eating sweet potatoes for the first time in this era, the taste is naturally very good.

Sweet potatoes also really fight hunger.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhu Biao said, he immediately became even more happy.

Looking at the sweet potato in his hand, it was like looking at a rare treasure.

good stuff

It’s really a good thing!
Daming, I really encountered the best thing!

With such good things here, it’s hard to say whether my Ming Dynasty will prosper or not!
"Father, I only gave you a description, but it wasn't clear enough.

Let’s cook these sweet potatoes directly. Father will know after you taste them! "

With that said, Zhu Biao led the excited people and prepared to order people to steam the sweet potatoes.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was heard: "No need."

Zhu Biao was a little stunned: "What's wrong, father?"

Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The quantity of this thing is still too small.

Each one is extremely precious.

Save these for seed!

It won’t be too late for us to eat sweet potatoes again in two years.

By leaving one more seed at this time, we can grow a large area of ​​sweet potatoes in the future.

This thing affects thousands of households! "

After hearing what his father said, Zhu Biao suddenly understood what his father was thinking.

"Father, my second brother-in-law said.

Just by looking at the appearance of this thing, you can probably guess that it is not easy to preserve.

Especially during the winter.

From now on, it will need to be stored in the cellar to survive the cold winter.

At this time, it is too long before the spring of next year.

It easily goes bad and rots.

Not conducive to seed saving.

The second brother-in-law said that late-planted sweet potato seeds are the best.

He has planted a lot of late sweet potatoes there.

Don't worry about saving seeds. "

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.

Zhu Biao was not allowed to tell others to do it at the moment.

He picked up the basket of sweet potatoes and happily walked out of Wuying Palace to Kunning Palace.

Zhu Biao also followed.

Together with my parents, I made sweet potato porridge from part of the sweet potatoes as I did at my second brother-in-law's place.

Another part was steamed, and some were taken out and baked.

After a while, the aroma of sweet potatoes filled the air...

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of sweet potato in the porridge with his chopsticks, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time they were a little red.

This...this sweet potato is really so delicious!

This taste is really amazing!
Biao'er is right, these sweet potatoes with red hearts are as sweet as if they were filled with honey!
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma also ate steamed sweet potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes.

I am full of praise for these two ways of eating sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have a super high yield and a particularly good taste.

That is really a magic weapon!
It is the blessing of Ming Dynasty!

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had eaten all the sweet potato skins, suddenly jumped up!
His sudden reaction shocked Zhu Biao and Queen Ma next to him.

Don't know what happened to him.

Why was he so startled all of a sudden?

But I heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out: "Let's go to Shuangshui Village right now to see the sweet potatoes and our good son-in-law Mei Yin!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said emotionally.

This time, the huge yield of sweet potatoes and their particularly good taste brought him a big surprise.

When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Mei Yin again at this time, he actually called Mei Yin a good son-in-law in front of Queen Ma and Prince Zhu Biao.

This is really rare!
