Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 114 New food!
Zhao Mian and Zhan Hui had question marks all over their heads, and they were a little apprehensive.

The old emperor felt a little abnormal today, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

Not long after the two of them waited, someone from the palace came with a tray.

There are two bowls of things on the plate.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, and said angrily, "Eat!"

To be honest, Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian were really dumbfounded, and their minds couldn't turn around.

Looking at the steaming millet porridge in front of him.

amount……

It seems to be mixed with a little yellow disgusting substance, but this yellow color doesn't look like poop, and the color is much more beautiful.

And it smells a little sweet.

The two secretly glanced at each other, then simply gritted their teeth and cupped their hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhan Hui pouted, first blew into the porridge water, and then began to take a sip.

In an instant, he froze.

Zhan Hui smacked his lips carefully, stirring the tip of his tongue in his mouth. After a while, his expression stretched, and he felt an indescribable feeling.

"It's delicious."

Zhao Mian followed suit, his eyes lit up after a mouthful of sweet potato porridge.

When they ate the yellow thing, they even showed expressions of enjoyment.

Soft and sweet.

It can't be said to be absolutely delicious, but the two of them can guarantee that they have never eaten this thing.

What exactly is this?
Why did the old emperor let them eat this?
The two of them couldn't figure it out, so they simply didn't think about it, and drank the porridge without much effort. The sweet potato porridge was finished.

"Is it delicious?" Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of strong tea and asked lightly.

Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian hurriedly put down their bowls, cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's delicious... Well, I'm terrified, and I'm guilty of disrespect in front of the emperor, and I deserve death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "If we want you two to die, do we need to spend so much trouble?"

"My lord, I'm guilty!"

Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian said quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say these are useless, let me ask you, besides being delicious, can this porridge fill your stomach?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian realized it and secretly felt it.

Yes!

This porridge only contained a small amount of chestnut rice, but it was extremely sticky, and the most important thing was that big yellow lump... no, a lump.

The two of them had never eaten this kind of food!
but!

The feeling of fullness is extremely strong!
Zhao Mian seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, this thing is extremely satisfying! This is..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "This is a new food."

Swish!
Zhao Mian and Zhan Hui were stunned again, and opened their mouths wide: "New... new food?"

The ancients are different from the later generations.

People of later generations accept the baptism of various new technologies and new ideas every day, so they have long been accustomed to new things appearing casually in life.

But the productivity of the ancients, in fact, has been stagnant since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Although some new tools will appear, these tools are already common sense that they know, and they will probably not be separated from things beyond your level of cognition.

Because of this, in the eyes of later generations, why did the ancestors think that something new was deviant, while in Europe, whenever there was something abnormal, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and burned witches. People in this era have been standing still for many years, and the social form and productivity mode have stagnated, so they cannot accept social progress.

The ancients were always wary of new things.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly told them that this is a new kind of food.

Zhao Mian had a delicate mind, and thought of many things at once, could it be the grandson of the emperor?Yes, it must be!
Zhao Mian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a new crop? Seriously?"

This voice trembled a little.

What the new food means, he understands!

This means that Daming's grain production can be increased and diversified, which is a great kindness to the common people!
Especially for the Ming Empire, which is now based on agriculture, the impact must be unprecedented!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Mian hurriedly asked: "How do you plant it? What is the yield per mu? What kind of land can be planted? Uh, I lost my temper! The emperor forgives me!"

How could Zhu Yuanzhang care about this with him? Seeing Zhao Mian's excited expression, he felt happy, and said slowly: "This plant is planted in summer and autumn, and the soil requirements are not high."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Saline-alkali land, Guanzhong Plain, deep mountains and old forests can all be planted."

hiss!
In the main hall, there were suddenly two gasps.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored them and continued: "As for the yield per mu, there are about twenty or thirty shi."

"???!!!"

In an instant, Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian's eyes were filled with shock, and they stood there blankly, silent for a long time!
The impact was so great that they couldn't believe it now!

But the person sitting in front of him was Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. Maybe he was joking yesterday?

So, is this true?

In this way, the place where grain should be grown can still be grown, and the land that could not grow grain before, or ordinary bad land, can be used to grow this sweet potato.

Thinking of this, Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian's eyes suddenly turned red, and their noses soured, and they couldn't help it.

"Your majesty... this great Ming's blessing!"

"This artifact is also!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

The two quickly knelt down and said to each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded calmly: "The emperor's grandson found this thing. If you want to congratulate him, you can congratulate him!"

really!

Again……

Nothing can get around the emperor's grandson recently!
How could he find such a sharp weapon?

But it's normal to think about it, the grandson of such a big salt mine has been found, God knows how capable the grandson of the emperor is.

Zhao Mian, who had tasted the sweetness, quickly shouted: "Minister, congratulations to the grandson of the emperor!"

Zhan Hui was never reconciled to lagging behind, and shouted: "Minister, congratulations to the grandson of the emperor! Congratulations to Your Majesty again!"

"again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly taken aback.

Zhan Hui said loudly: "Minister, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Daming, you have a great grandson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.

Zhao Mian asked: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask... Where did this thing come from?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and replied: "Overseas, according to Dasun, there are many such miraculous crops overseas."

Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian were dumbfounded when they heard the words.

There are many good things overseas?
The two hesitated to speak, but they buried their thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to mention them.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably saw what the two were thinking, and sighed: "Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been ships going to sea in all dynasties, but they have not gained much. Today, we still have not developed the mystery of overseas. It would be a good idea to be able to patrol the sea to show the country's prestige, and to find these magical things, what do you think?"

Zhan Hui and Zhao Mian echoed, "Sir, second your proposal."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's just this matter. I'm afraid there will still be a lot of resistance. We will discuss it after the Ming Dynasty meeting."

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the sweet potato porridge, and said: "This thing is called sweet potato, and the method of planting it is simple. You can just plant roots and seedlings in a ridge. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the emperor's grandson. Let’s start spring tomorrow, try to promote it, and if it’s feasible, then spread it to the world!”

Zhao Mian hastily cupped his fists and said, "My minister obeys the order!"

This is another chance to become famous, Zhao Mian couldn't hide his excitement...
