Chapter 99 Sweet potatoes were introduced from overseas
Chapter 99 Sweet potatoes were introduced from overseas
Emperor Jingxuan calmed down a little, but was still very anxious.
There are more and more clues about sweet potatoes, but the most important one is still missing.
They always say it's imported, but where did it come from? At least give them a whereabouts so they can find it as soon as possible.
He looked at the sky eagerly, and Chao Chao asked Yu Zimo, "Uncle, has the emperor also eaten this sweet potato?"
The boss just spoke too quickly and it ended before she could fully grasp his meaning.
But the word "emperor" suddenly made her antennae stand up. She felt that these two words were very close to her, but also seemed very far away, so she couldn't help but ask.
Yu Zimo was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "Well... maybe he has eaten it before. During the Qianlong period, sweet potatoes were indeed promoted and cultivated in most parts of the country. It's not surprising that he has tasted it."
"During the Qianlong reign, what was it?"
"Qianlong, that's the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. That's the period when he was emperor."
Chao Chao wondered, when was the Qing Dynasty? Was the place she visited part of the Qing Dynasty? No, if it was the Qing Dynasty, then there should be sweet potatoes.
But she had never seen it in Shangliu Village.
She suddenly thought of what Jian Yunsang said, "Mom said that sweet potatoes were introduced during the Ming Dynasty. So, did the Ming Dynasty come before the Qing Dynasty?"
"Wow, Chaochao is so smart." Yu Zimo praised her very sincerely, which made the little girl blush and feel embarrassed, but because his voice was too loud, the guests and the boss in front looked at him.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but the boss smiled and said, "Young man, you know a lot about the history of sweet potatoes."
"Not really. I just reviewed this history a while ago, and my memory is pretty good." He was quite proud. Seeing others looking at him, he said to Chao Chao with a bit of show-off, "Sweet potatoes were indeed introduced during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The common saying is that there was a scholar named Chen Zhenlong who gave up his studies to do business. He went to Luzon, oh, which is today's Philippines, to do business. He saw sweet potatoes everywhere and learned that they are drought-resistant, high-yielding, highly adaptable, and can be eaten raw or cooked. He immediately felt like he had found a treasure and found a way to secretly bring them back to try planting..."
The great initiator under the sky: !!! !!!
The key clue came so unexpectedly! !
They don’t know about the Philippines, but they know about Luzon.
Emperor Jingxuan was so excited that he almost slapped his thigh. He hurriedly called Cao Qing behind him, "Map, bring my map here, quickly."
Cao Qing quickly brought the map over, and Emperor Jingxuan opened it and took a look. "No, it's not this one, it's the one with the neighboring countries."
Cao Qing quickly changed another one for him. Emperor Jingxuan looked for it and soon found Luzon's location.
"This, it's right here." The Minister of War squeezed over at some point and pointed to a place in the corner excitedly.
"So the sweet potatoes are here. We can finally send someone to look for them."
"After so many days, we have finally made great progress. Knowing the whereabouts of this 10,000-jin grain yield per mu is truly a blessing for me."
After the man finished speaking, he suddenly found that the surroundings were a little quiet. He turned his head blankly and saw that several people had subtle expressions.
However, Emperor Jingxuan felt refreshed. In just one day, he not only learned the origin of sweet potatoes, but also solved all the problems that had been bothering him for so many days.
"As you all have seen, Luzon is offshore. If we want to get sweet potatoes, we must send ships out to sea."
One of the still stubborn officials hurriedly said, "But Your Majesty, the maritime ban is a rule set by Emperor Taizu. If..."
"It was indeed decided by our great grandfather, but now everyone in Daqi knows that the sweet potatoes were imported from Luzon. If we don't take action, what do you think the people will think? We're just going to throw away 10,000 kilograms of grain per mu? Won't the people make a fuss? Who will be held responsible then? You?" The official's face changed, and he quickly knelt down to apologize. "It was my fault for not thinking it through."
"You've certainly been inconsiderate. Lifting the maritime ban is imperative. Even if the court doesn't, the people of the land know the origins of the sweet potatoes. Won't they sneak away? The wealthy and powerful will take even more risks. They'll bring the sweet potatoes back and make a killing, while the court will be left with the leftovers. At that point, won't you go and confess your sins before our great ancestor?"
The officials who originally wanted to say a few words immediately fell silent and did not dare to express their opinions at all.
This look is completely different from the earlier fierce attitude of preventing the lifting of the maritime ban.
Emperor Jingxuan sneered. Don't think he didn't know. Even if there was a maritime ban, it wouldn't matter. Many officials had already secretly sailed out to sea and enriched themselves. The reason they stopped him from lifting the maritime ban was simply because they were afraid of affecting their interests and dividing their money.
Now he wants to see who dares to step forward to stop the current situation.
No one, the news revealed by the sky curtain was too specific, the emperor's determination could not be shaken, and the people's expectations could not be extinguished.
Emperor Jingxuan was satisfied and said, "Please come up with a set of rules for this matter and we will discuss it again at the morning court tomorrow."
"Yes."
Emperor Jingxuan then looked up at the sky again. Yu Zimo had almost finished speaking. He wanted to say something more, but the person who wanted to listen had already left.
The boss gave him two big sweet potatoes. When Yu Zimo took out his mobile phone to pay, he found that his sister had transferred a red envelope to him.
He was happy and clicked receive without saying a word.
The sweet potatoes didn't cost much, and his sister said she would give him the rest as pocket money.
Yu Zimo was feeling happy when the corner of his clothes was suddenly tugged. He was stunned for a moment and looked down to see Chaochao looking a little nervous.
"what happened?"
Chao Chao looked anxious, and quietly pointed into the alley with her little hand, "Uncle, look."
Yu Zimo turned his head and looked, only took a glance, then quickly turned his head back.
It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. I didn't expect to meet those two people.
The person striding towards them was the one who had clashed with them in the ward yesterday and was beaten by his sister.
I originally thought that they were moved to the VIP ward and had little interaction with each other, so they should not meet.
Who knew they were so lucky? They just came out to buy two sweet potatoes and they ran into this.
And they were two grown men.
Yu Zimo knows his own limitations. When his sister is around, he dares to provoke her. But when his sister is not around, if not now, when will he run away?
So he quickly took the sweet potato handed to him by the boss, took Chaochao's hand and turned away.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the hospital entrance, and his sister is still watching over him. As long as he walks fast, it will be fine.
