Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

Chapter 132

It’s not that the ministers have to speculate on this matter with malicious intent, it’s really too suspicious.

Looking back over thousands of years of history, no grain can achieve this kind of yield!

When people face something that suddenly exceeds their knowledge, their first reaction is to question it.

These ministers are no exception.

But who was Guan Zhong? He had already anticipated this situation before going to court.

He raised his hand, pointed at the copied document, and said:"If you have any questions in your mind, you might as well take a look at the data in your hands."

"So far, no flaws have been found in the data recorded above. If you find any errors, you can point them out."

After hearing Guan Zhong's words, all the ministers looked at each other.

After hearing the words, they immediately looked at the thin pieces of paper in their hands. They looked over it several times, but they didn't see any mistakes.

Guan Zhong didn't see any mistakes. With their , trying to see the mistake is like trying to reach the sky!

Those ministers finally chose to give up when they saw the end.

Even so, they still found it difficult to accept that potato production could so easily exceed the staple food for 130,000 years.

A minister stood up and asked:"Your Majesty, the yield of these potatoes is so large, will it be enough to fill your stomach?""

When other ministers heard this question, they couldn't help but ask:"I also heard that the nourishment of the land is limited. So the potato yield is so large, maybe the fruits it produces are not as good as wheat and rice."

This conclusion seems to make sense.

The ministers present couldn't help but nod their heads.

Guan Zhong directly ordered the eunuchs on the left and right:"Go and bring up the cooked potatoes, so that all the adults present can taste them carefully. Fan."

When the ministers heard that those potatoes were actually made into finished products, they couldn't help but look forward to it.

These were high-yielding grain seeds obtained by King Ning himself, which can be said to be very precious.

They didn't expect that they could taste them for themselves..

Some ministers think that the taste of potatoes is not very good.

After all, if something with such a high yield is still delicious, wouldn’t it be flawless? How can there be such a good thing in the world?

It has been boiled and steamed. The potatoes were brought up.

A fragrance immediately wafted out of the air.

Everyone stared at the yellow and soft potatoes on the plate.

They were a little doubtful that the dusty potatoes mentioned in the brochure were the things in front of them. ?

This is nothing like it!

Despite their hesitation, everyone still took off their chopsticks and took a taste at Guan Zhong's urging.

As soon as they entered the mouth, they were overwhelmed by the soft, glutinous and dense texture.

This taste was better than before. The staple foods they ate were completely different, but they had the same delicious texture!

Potatoes were actually such a delicious food?!

After everyone took a bite, they felt that the taste was not inferior to the previous staple foods!

Even potatoes were originally speculated to be The ministers who had a bad taste stopped talking.

This potato was beyond their expectation.

It was completely different from what they imagined! It tasted exactly like noodles!

When Guan Zhong saw that all the ministers looked surprised, he spoke. :"This potato not only tastes soft and fragrant, but also has a thin skin on the outside, so most of it is edible."

"This kind of food is perfectly suitable to be used to provide relief to the victims. Guan

Zhong paused and continued:"Perhaps His Highness Prince Ning had considered the problem of food shortage before, so he ordered us to plant potatoes.""

When the ministers heard this, they felt that it made sense.

Yes, whether it was potatoes or two other food crops, King Ning carefully selected them and asked them to plant them.

King Ning must have known about the potatoes before properties, so these seeds were specially obtained.

The ministers looked at those steaming potatoes and thought of another deeper meaning:"And these potatoes do not need to be ground into powder with a millstone. Just remove the outer layer of skin." It is really convenient to eat. A minister was eating and thought about it:"Speaking of which, this tastes a bit like taro.""(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Other ministers immediately retorted:"How is that possible? It clearly tastes better and more delicate than taro."

Taro is also a good disaster relief food.

However, because taro is an aquatic plant, the scale of planting is limited.

It cannot be used as disaster relief food every year.

But potatoes are different. They can be planted in vast areas of land.

Potatoes The yield is still high. Now, even if potatoes are not used as disaster relief food, they can be completely used as main food!

The more the ministers think about it, the more they feel that potatoes are really useful!

If they are planted on a large scale, won't the Ming Dynasty never see it again in the future? People who won’t go hungry?

This can be said to be an achievement that will shine through the ages! When

Guan Zhong saw the excited expressions of the ministers, he knew that they, like himself, were aware of the great role of potatoes.

Guan Zhong reminded:"Don't forget, everyone , as well as the sweet potatoes, corn and other crops ordered by His Highness Prince Ning."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of those ministers were surging again!

Isn't His Highness Prince Ning so amazing?

In addition to potatoes, there are actually two other high-yielding crops!

Could it be that His Highness has already realized that the Ming Dynasty is short of food, so Have you been looking for these crops that can replace staple foods? []

You must also know that such high-quality and high-yielding food crops must not be easy to obtain. They must be found after searching in many ways!

Ministers must be patient He couldn't help but sigh:"Your Highness is really far-sighted and far-reaching."

If this were not the case, he would never have taken out these seeds at once.

Presumably, His Highness had already had a plan to transform the Ming Dynasty.

Guan Zhong was also quite impressed and said:"These newly grown potatoes have already been They were sent to Henan, Shandong and other places. If it hadn't been for Your Highness this time, a large number of people would have died."

Other ministers were also deeply touched by Guan Zhong's words.

Yes, if His Highness had not agreed to distribute those potatoes as food, the population of Shandong and Henan would have starved to death all over the land and exchanged their children for food. When they thought of this, everyone The ministers' admiration for Zhu Quan has reached a new level.

If in the past, they recognized Zhu Quan's military strength, then this time, it seems that they recognized that Zhu Quan also had a benevolent heart towards the people.

If not. , it is impossible to focus on grain with precise eyes.

Wheat and rice as staple foods have been popular for thousands of years, and no one thought of changing or coming up with new food crops.

But His Highness was different, he thought of it, and We have found a practical and effective method.

His Highness is pragmatic and efficient, and his vision is far-sighted and does not look like a young man!.
