Chapter 157: High yield crops are too high

The 19th year of Yongle's New Year's State Banquet in the Forbidden City, many people will never forget it until their death.Although the scene at that time was recorded in countless people's article notes, more people never heard of it in their lives, and could only look for that special feeling between the lines.

Although after the banquet, countless people wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Tang Shaozhe and talk about the music just now, but they failed to do so.It wasn't that Tang Shaozhe was proud of his status and refused to deal with it, but that he and the three cabinet ministers were all called away by Zhu Di.

At this time, more people paid attention to Tang Shaozhe himself, instead of the three pieces of music that he played just now.After this time, many people have to reinterpret the previous judgment about Tang Shaozhe.

He is no longer a cultivator seeking immortality who is talked about by the streets and alleys only by relying on his own secret skills of cultivation, but a hot target who is favored by the emperor with his talents and mysterious cards.

Amidst the new discussions among the crowd, Tang Shaozhe sat in front of the emperor + three cabinet ministers and did a ridiculous thing - sue.Plane Travel Guide 157

"Your Majesty, you said before that you promised me one thing after I was ordered to add to the fun." Tang Shaozhe looked like a villain, making the others laugh secretly.

Tang Shaozhe has also learned to be good now, and gradually understands what to say under what circumstances.If it was definitely a time traveler's arrogant attitude before, no one would pay attention to it.But at this moment, he knew how to pretend to be pitiful to take advantage of the situation.

Zhu Di naturally wouldn't argue with him, nodded slightly and said, "Why, Master Tang still doesn't trust me?"

"Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan, how could I not believe it?" Tang Shaozhe pretended to be stupid.

"Then tell me quickly. Even if you don't tell me, I can roughly guess it."

The look in Tang Shaozhe's eyes flashed away, and then he took advantage of Zhu Di's joy and said, "Oh? Your Majesty is really powerful. Let's talk about it. If you are right, it means that Your Majesty has a lot of wisdom. You may as well follow me to practice!"

In fact, these words were an absolute crime of disrespect to the emperor.From the chief minister of the cabinet to the eunuchs, there was no one around who didn't roll their eyes and was silently speechless.This is simply molesting the authority of the Central Empire Supreme in person.

However, Zhu Di didn't care, he had already seen all kinds of magical things about Tang Shaozhe, and he knew very well that his worldly power could not control this guy at all.If you really want to worry about it, there is still nothing you can do about him.

Therefore, he had no choice but to accept this very fresh experience, pretending not to hear it, and said, "Is it because of the big gangster encounter outside the city yesterday?"

"Bandits?"

This time, before Tang Shaozhe could open his mouth, the three cabinet ministers next to him became dumbfounded.How could there be bandits outside the capital?Could it be that Shuntian Mansion has dereliction of duty so far?

Yang Rong was about to open his mouth to plead guilty, but Zhu Di's sigh sounded in his ears: "It has nothing to do with Shuntian Fu Yin. This is someone pretending to be a bandit and committing the crime."

After appeasing the three cabinet ministers, Zhu Di turned to Tang Shaozhe and said seriously: "If this is the case, I can give you a guarantee. No matter who is involved, I will investigate to the end and give you an explanation."

Hearing Zhu Di's promise, Tang Shaozhe understood in his heart: Although there are also reasons for his own grand plan to conquer the world, more credit should be credited to the actions of himself and Zhu Di's side that day.

Enfeoffment of the world is related to the longevity of Zhu's family's prosperous dynasty.But his ability to appear and disappear is always enough to threaten Zhu Di's own life.

No matter how ambitious the emperor is, if he loses his life, everything will be over.Even though the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family lasts forever, Zhu Di has already turned into dust.

Seeing that he could be threatened at any time, Zhu Di quickly made a decision.Just like the one who discovered the Wanfu Temple on the Zijin Mountain in Yingtianfu back then, after showing that mysterious power, he gave in.

Seeing that Zhu Di was so knowledgeable and interesting, Tang Shaozhe naturally wanted to reciprocate.It could be said that he contacted the main god again on the spot, and took out a few good seeds that had been prepared in the portable space.

Before Zhu Di could open his mouth to inquire about the problems he discovered after secret discussions with the cabinet ministers that day, Tang Shaozhe had already opened his mouth one step ahead of him: "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your care. Allow me to present the future of Ming Dynasty here—a good breed .” Plane Travel Guide 157

Looking at Zhu Di's "confused" eyes, Yang Rong immediately reported briefly on the topic discussed with Tang Shaozhe before the meal.Hearing that these are the good breeds that Tang Shaozhe claimed could feed the people all over the world, Zhu Di's eyes lit up immediately.

He is an emperor who is proficient in war, but this makes him pay more attention to agriculture.Having lived in the army for a long time, he understands the importance of logistics better than others.The foundation of logistics is food.

"You mean, these are the good breeds you mentioned just now?" Not to mention Zhu Di's excitement, even Yang Shiqi, who is so exquisite, couldn't control the trembling of his voice.

"Yes." Tang Shaozhe nodded, first pointing to the hybrid rice seed that he took out, and said: "This kind of rice seed is cultivated by the supreme secret method in the cultivation world."

Without waiting for others to speak, he continued: "Just now I asked Mr. Ge that Daming's current rice production is only 2 stones per mu, which is about 240 catties. It still needs good weather and everything will be fine.

"However, the rice I took out can easily reach a yield of 800 jin per mu (note). It also tastes very good, and it is by no means the jerky taste of Champa rice. It is not inferior to the best japonica rice. "

These words have made several people present, from the emperor to the cabinet minister, unable to believe it.But after hearing Tang Shaozhe's words later, several people completely believed what they said before.Because the data mentioned later is really too unreliable.

Tang Shaozhe picked up the sweet potato and handed it to Zhu Di, saying: "This is a sweet potato. It is not only delicious, sweet and delicious. It also nourishes deficiency, strengthens energy, strengthens spleen and stomach, and strengthens kidney yin.

"Although Daming did not have such a thing, there is a place where it is abundant in the map of the world that I gave to His Majesty. This thing has also been cultivated by the cultivation world with the supreme secret method, and the output is extremely high. "

The sweet potato came from the Americas, and it wasn't until Columbus discovered the New World that he brought it back to Spain and dedicated it to the queen.Later, Spanish sailors brought sweet potatoes to the Philippines.

The Ming Dynasty did not introduce sweet potatoes to China from the Spanish colony of Luzon until the tenth year of Wanli, that is, in 1582 AD.Therefore, sweet potatoes are also called "sweet potatoes".

Li Shizhen even praised it in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Southerners use rice as a meal, steamed and broiled are delicious... People in the sea live longer because they do not eat five grains but eat sweet potatoes."

When Zhu Di and the three cabinet ministers each picked up a sweet potato they had never seen before to observe carefully, they heard what Tang Shaozhe continued to say, and they were so frightened that they almost dropped the sweet potato on the ground.

Tang Shaozhe said plainly: "This sweet potato is ripe twice a year, divided into two types: spring potato and summer potato. The yield of summer potato is less, generally speaking, the yield per mu is only 4 jin (3500 kilograms). The yield of spring potato is more, and the yield per mu is more. It can reach 8 kilojin (7000 kilograms)."

"How many?"

It's not that Zhu Di has never seen the world, it's just that Tang Shaozhe's words are too scary.Not to mention them, even Tang Shaozhe was shocked when he heard such an introduction when he went to buy fine seeds.

It is said that the yield of sweet potatoes was very high originally, and Tang Shaozhe bought an excellent variety after modern improvement, so the yield was an astronomical figure for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After Tang Shaozhe confirmed it, Yang Rong even tremblingly confirmed it again.Only then did a few people believe that they were not deaf just now, but that the other party really told the figure of 8000 catties per mu.

After the monarchs and ministers looked at each other suspiciously, Yang Shiqi tentatively said: "Even if the taste of this product is not very suitable, the people will be very happy just with such an astonishing output."

He began to suspect that there was water in Tang Shaozhe's praise of this product "delicious, sweet and delicious".No wonder he was skeptical, such a large output and good taste, there are still things that can be found in the world!How can there be such a perfect thing in the world?

Jin Youzi also agreed: "Yes, this thing is ripe twice a year. If what Tang Zhenren said is true, one mu of land can have a harvest of 1 jin. If so, the people of Ming Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger. also!"

Tang Shaozhe is no longer the idiot boy who sold his property and counted the money back then, and the words spoken by the two of them still can't be heard.Plane Travel Guide 157

He didn't say much, just took it out and said: "Your Majesty, you can ask the Imperial Dining Room to cook this thing for everyone to taste."

Zhu Di immediately ordered: "Come here, cook this sweet potato according to Tang Zhenren's instructions, and then present it."

Because it was the first time for the sweet potato to appear in Da Ming, Tang Shaozhe might have to personally give instructions to the waiter on how to cook it, how long to cook it, how to judge whether it is cooked or not, and other common sense.

After speaking, he pointed to the corn on the table and said: "This is called corn, and it can be eaten after being cooked. The grains are full, the taste is sweet, and the taste is not bad. It is ripe once a year, and the yield per mu is 900 catties."

According to Tang Shaozhe's modern textual research, the records of various provinces and county annals, the first time corn was introduced to my country was 1531 AD, less than 40 years after Columbus discovered America.

"There is also this potato, which is not only edible, but also can be used to make wine. Although the taste is not as good as the first two crops, it is also slightly sweet, and it is suitable for planting in any region, and it is not picky about climate and water."

Potatoes were introduced into China at the latest, only a hundred years ago.It was also first introduced to Europe in 1570 AD after Columbus discovered America.It contains a lot of carbohydrates, but also contains protein, minerals (phosphorus, calcium, etc.) and vitamins.

This time, before he could report the output, Yang Shiqi asked directly.Only then did Tang Shaozhe smile apologetically, and said, "Ha, I forgot to mention that the usual yield of potatoes is 2500 catties per mu."

Jin Youzi asked again: "This... can potatoes be cooked and eaten?"

Seeing Tang Shaozhe nodded in approval, Zhu Di still didn't understand, so he waved his hand and said, "Come here, take this... corn and potatoes to the imperial dining room, and bring them up after they are cooked."

"According to the order."

(Note: The unit of measurement "jin" in the article refers to "jin", that is, 1 catty = 16 taels, which is about 1.5733 catties today. This is the data verified by Du Niang. I dare not assert whether it is accurate or not. In the text The units of measurement in the Ming Dynasty are based on this. By the way, the output data is also provided by Du Niang, and the author takes the average value.)
