Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang’s anger, Yan Changqing still looked calm and indifferent Earthly Dao:

"Your Majesty, have you ever seen a crop like potatoes before?!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Although his anger was overflowing at the moment, he still couldn't help but think along Yan Changqing's words.

And this thought immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang realize that something was wrong.

He is a poor farmer who has followed his parents in the fields since he was a child, so he is not unfamiliar with crops.

After that, his family could no longer support himself, so he became a beggar and a refugee. He traveled across the mountains and fields, and saw people from all over the world. His understanding of crops also increased, either actively or passively.

And when he participated in the Red Scarf Army uprising, and then moved from the south to the north step by step, he had seen and understood everything about the crops in the south and the crops in the north.

Finally, after he founded the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne as emperor, and took charge of the world, he would know exactly what crops were available and what crops could be grown in various parts of the country!

After all, these are really related to the people's livelihood of Ming Dynasty and are the foundation of Ming Dynasty!!!

Logically speaking, even if he had never seen the various crops across the country, he at least knew the names of those crops and roughly what they looked like.

However, the crop [potatoes] that Yan Changqing mentioned was, if he thought about it carefully, it was the first time he had heard of it!

At the same time, this was the first time he had seen this crop with yellow skin and white inside, and an oval shape like a fist!

"Potatoes, a new crop in Ming Dynasty."

"Grows throughout sandy and dry lands."

"Storage-resistant and will last for the next year if stored properly."

"The taste is soft and waxy, suitable for both vegetables and grains. It can be steamed and eaten directly, or fried and eaten. It can be made into vermicelli and eaten, etc."

“Poor people can survive even if they don’t eat food and only eat potatoes.

Every time Yan Changqing spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became more rapid.

As a farmer emperor, no one knows better than him the importance of the Ming Dynasty being able to produce a new kind of food crop!

More importantly, according to Yan Changqing, this potato can be harvested in both sandy and dry land, and it is durable in storage. He has just tasted it and it tastes pretty good.

As long as the yield of this potato is somewhat decent and can produce one or two stones per mu like other food crops, then he will have the freedom to vigorously promote the planting of Shizhong.

Apart from anything else, if we can put one more food crop to choose from on the people's tables, it will at least improve the happiness of people's lives!

So the previous anger has now been forgotten by Zhu Yuanzhang. The fact that Yan Changqing discovered a new food crop is enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to suppress his anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Yan Changqing, waiting for him to tell him the annual yield of potatoes per acre.

Yan Changqing has no intention of trying to keep him secret anymore. Zhu Yuanzhang has been teased enough by him today. If he continues to tease him, something will really happen.

Yan Changqing looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, suppressed his gentle smile, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with an extremely serious face, and spoke word by word with a flurry of tone:

"Potatoes can be grown twice a year."

"One crop per acre yields... twenty stones!!!"

Bang!!!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, looked at Yan Changqing in disbelief and said loudly:

"What did you say?!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was so loud that even the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes who were working in the middle field heard it. They all turned their heads and saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing up at this moment and looking down at him. By Yan Changqing.

"Mr. Yan, will he have another conflict with his father?!!"

"Is this the incompatibility between Mr. Yan and my father?!!"

"My father was not as angry today as he was in the previous month!!!"

Chu King Zhu Zhen looked at that scene and couldn't help but said, a flash of openness towards Chang Qing flashed in his eyes.

It can be said that Yan Changqing is really the most fierce person he has ever seen.

He has never seen any civil and military minister dare to collide with his father like this!

What's more important is that this kind of collision was not just once or twice!

And after the collision, Yan Changqing was still alive. This was what impressed him most!

If it were other ministers of civil and military affairs, they would probably have finished the first seven.

"I didn't believe Mr. Yan before when he said he was not afraid of death, but now I do."

"Mr. Yan is not only unafraid of death, he is like a man who hangs himself because he thinks his life is too long!"

King Zhu Bo of Qi on the side also echoed.

"D..."

Zhu Biao, who had almost finished digging all the potatoes within two steps of himself, couldn't help but sigh after hearing what Zhu Zhen and Zhu Bo said [He also quite agreed with what Zhu Zhen and Zhu Zun said.

However, I agree. In Zhu Biao's opinion, Yan Changqing's ability and value are still very high, so he still can't let his father chop him down in anger.

[Perhaps as Brother Zhen said, Mr. Yan and his father are not compatible. 】

[In the future, we should try our best to avoid the meeting between my father and Mr. Yan. 】

A thought flashed through Zhu Biao's mind, and then he patted the dust on his hands and prepared to act as a fire extinguisher for the two of them to ease the relationship between them again.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who stood up now, looked at Yan Changqing and said with a slightly trembling voice:

"Are you...saying...really?!!"

Responding to Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion, Yan Changqing lifted three fist-sized potatoes from his feet, each weighing at least a kilogram, and placed them on the table. He pointed at them one by one and said:

"One pound...one pound...one pound."

Then Yan Changqing pointed to the plate of vinegary shredded potatoes that the two of them had just finished and said:

"Half a pound."

Finally, Yan Changqing pointed to all the potatoes and plates on the table and said:

"Here, three and a half pounds!"

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned down and stroked the three potatoes, which were larger than his fists, with trembling hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no doubts about what Yan Changqing said [three and a half catties].

Just look at the three potatoes on the table. At first glance, each one probably weighs more than a kilogram. Think about the plate of shredded potatoes you just ate. A kilogram may not be "but half a kilogram."

There must still be some………………

All this adds up to more than three and a half kilograms. It is said to be four kilograms without water!

Yan Changqing stood up from the stone bench, looked at the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and others in the small field in front, put his hands behind his back, and spoke slowly:

"The remaining yield of twenty dan per mu is in the field."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was leaning over to weigh the potatoes, paused, then slowly straightened up, looking at the small field that had been dug by Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.

At this moment, there were already a lot of potatoes piled on the left and right sides of the small field in the middle. Most of them were as big as fists and round.

Looking at it, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

King Zhu Bo of Qi, who was digging potatoes in the field, looked at the potato stems and leaves buried in the soil. Without thinking, he stretched out his hand and tried to pull out the whole bunch of potatoes and dig them out one by one. , it seemed to him that it was too troublesome.

Snapped!

By accident, he used too much force and the potato root vine on his hand was torn off. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's stretched nerve was also torn off.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at the potatoes that had fallen out of the air due to broken roots and broken skins.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that Yan Changqing said before that he should be careful not to hurt the surface when digging.

At this moment, in the pile of potatoes he dug at the feet of King Zhu Su of Qi, at least three or four out of ten had some damaged skins.

An uncontrollable anger suddenly rose in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. The next moment, his body had already reacted before his brain even gave him an idea.

"go away!!!"

A thunderous roar suddenly sounded, but in the blink of an eye, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed behind Zhu Yu and kicked Zhu to the ground without mercy. 4.2

Before Zhu Shu could even react to what had happened, he felt a dizzying feeling all over his body, and then he lay heavily in the field.

Zhu Bo, who was lying in the field with a confused look on his face, and Prince Zhu Biao, who was getting up and preparing to walk in the direction of Yan Changqing.

There were other princes such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di who were digging potatoes. They were all shocked to see their father kneeling in the field!!!

At this moment, their father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was like an old farmer who had been hungry for an unknown amount of time. The expression on his face was uncontrollably excited, but his hands were trembling slightly with fear.

Zhu Yuanzhang was kneeling in the field, as if he were treating an unprecedented treasure. He dug the sand in the field very gently and carefully dug out every piece of treasure hidden underground.
