Zhu Yuanzhang was so determined that he sent troops on the spot, regardless of Zhu Biao's advice.

Liu Bowen stepped forward to admonish him:

"Superior, this matter may not be that simple. The excitement on Zhu

Yuanzhang's face suffocated, and he turned to Liu Bowen,"Bowen, what do you mean by this?""

Liu Bowen was so busy that he explained:

"Top, that sweet potato was only introduced to China after the mid-Ming Dynasty."

"A few are hundreds of years away from us now"

"If the superiors send troops now, it is very likely that sweet potatoes have not been introduced to Luzon yet."

"Therefore, I ask your superior to be careful."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of excitement, and in the blink of an eye, he became extremely shocked.

He wanted to get back the sweet potatoes, but he didn't take into account the time when the sweet potatoes were introduced to Luzon. If he mobilized troops at this time, it would really be possible to fight with a bamboo basket. All wasted.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately decided to change his strategy.

"In this case, we will first send an envoy, disguised as a businessman, to Luzon to investigate secretly"

"If we can find out that sweet potatoes are indeed grown in Luzon, we canDefeat Luzon"

"The superior sage!"

Hu Weiyong quickly flattered and said:

"We can also make two preparations. If there are no sweet potatoes in Luzon, we will send troops to the Americas."

"In this way, we can not only get sweet potatoes, but also corn and potatoes"

"Haha, okay, let’s do it like this."

As a peasant emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang's desire for grain has long exceeded that of gold and silver....

Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen plane

"What? Does my Ming Dynasty still have such good things as sweet potatoes? Why have I never heard of it?"

Zhu Youjian was a little excited at the moment.

In recent years, the Central Plains has been experiencing severe droughts. Thousands of miles of bare land have left no harvest. The people have no food to eat, their families have been destroyed, and they can only run around.

If sweet potatoes can be planted in the Central Plains, will it be able to alleviate the problem? These droughts?

"Wen Tiren, do you know whether these sweet potatoes are as described in the light and shadow?"

The current chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty is none other than Wen Tiren. As the longest serving chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Tiren still has some abilities.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there was a drought in Fujian a few years ago. It was this sweet potato that solved the urgent problem."

"OK, great!"

Zhu Youjian heard that sweet potatoes were indeed drought-resistant, and immediately issued an order:

"Ask the Chief Envoy of Fujian to immediately prepare 100,000 stones of sweet potatoes. I want to plant them in Henan, Shaanxi and other regions."

"If we can really grow food, then the people of Ming Dynasty will really be saved."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Wen Tiren has different views on Zhu Youjian's arrangements:

"Nowadays, Henan and Shaanxi provinces are experiencing severe drought. Not to mention food, even the weeds are dying there."

"Instead of growing food there, it is better to plant it in areas such as Anhui, Shandong and Beizhili."

"Although these places are also affected by drought, it will never be as serious as Henan and Shaanxi."

"Therefore, sweet potatoes can definitely grow in these places. With the yield per acre of sweet potatoes, as long as they can be grown, a large amount of food can be harvested."

"When the time comes, if we use these grains to help the victims, won’t it be possible to alleviate the disaster?"

"Please give your Majesty a clear warning. Zhu

Youjian thought for a moment and felt that Wen Tiren's suggestion was indeed more appropriate, so he immediately said:

"Just as you say"

"This matter should be handled immediately, and all departments should actively cooperate. There must be no mistakes, otherwise severe punishment will not be neglected!"

"I obey the order!"......

The common people in all planes were so excited that they almost went crazy after seeing such a yield of grain.

They shouted the names of these grain loyalists loudly and suggested to the government that these grain seeds must be found so that the people can live a good life.

The trend of the times is what the people want.

Regardless of whether the rulers of these planes are willing or not, they have to send ships overseas, even if they are just pretending, to vigorously develop the navy.

China's Age of Discovery has begun.

The video above the light and shadow continues to play

【Although China already has so much high-yield food, for the Chinese people who have eaten rice and wheat since ancient times, potatoes, corns and sweet potatoes are not to their taste.】

【Although these grains can be used as staple food, they contain a large amount of plant fiber. Therefore, after eating, one of the most obvious characteristics is that they like to go to the toilet.】

【The nutritional value contained in it is simply incomparable to that of rice, and it is also not easier to absorb than rice.】

【In addition, after the Chinese people stood up, the population surged. In just a few decades, it has grown to 100,000 people.】

【However, China's rice output has always been only 400 kilograms, which cannot satisfy China's huge population. The high-yield rice at that time was basically imported from abroad. China did not have its own high-yield rice, which was a very dangerous thing.】

【If other things are stuck in foreign countries, we won't be worried for a while, but if food is stuck in the neck, there will be a big problem.】

【It is urgent to solve the problem of food for the Chinese people】

【At this time, China’s modern version of Shennong appeared】

【Some people call him a modern saint. Judging from his contributions to China and the world, he fully deserves the name of a saint.】

【This person is Mr. Yuan, the man who has single-handedly enabled the 140,000 people in China to have enough to eat.】

【Mr. Yuan was born in a period of war. At that time, warlords were fighting and Japanese slaves were invading. He had no choice but to move around with his parents.】

【Later, Mr. Yuan got into trouble with blood sugar. During an outing, he went to a gardening field and saw the flowers, plants and fruits inside. He felt very beautiful. From then on, the seeds of the pastoral dream were planted in his heart.】

【For this reason, when he grew up, Mr. Yuan gave up the life his father had planned for him and chose to attend the Agricultural College.】

【Later, Mr. Yuan graduated from the Agricultural College with excellent results and officially started his own path of studying agriculture.】

【In the beginning, Mr. Yuan was not actually engaged in rice production. He was only responsible for teaching at the agricultural school and grafting tomatoes and sweet potatoes.】

【At that time, China had just been established and everyone was starting from scratch. There was a lot of waste waiting to be revitalized. Natural disasters also hit the country. Many people could not fill their stomachs.】

【Mr. Yuan witnessed with his own eyes that hunger was like a dark cloud hanging over the heads of the people.】

【Mr. Yuan secretly made up his mind to solve the food problem so that everyone in the world can have enough to eat.】

【For this reason, Mr. Yuan devoted himself to cultivating sweet potatoes and grew a large sweet potato weighing 18 pounds, for which he was praised.】

【Just when Mr. Yuan was happy and thought that he could change China's food dilemma, his teacher told him that sweet potatoes could not solve the food problem.】

【Because sweet potatoes are asexual hybrids, there is no way to inherit them through seeds. This also means that no matter how big the sweet potatoes grow, they cannot be passed on to the next generation.】

【When it comes to the second generation, it will still be the same as before, becoming ordinary.】

【Besides, neither sweet potatoes nor tomatoes can be used as staple food.】

【Mr. Yuan’s teacher hopes that he can accompany him to study rice. Only rice can help China get out of its predicament.】

【Before leaving, the teacher also told Mr. Yuan that you must have a solid foundation in everything you do.】

【At first, Mr. Yuan politely declined the teacher’s invitation because his major was not suitable for him.】

【But later, when Mr. Yuan planted the big sweet potato seeds he planted, he found that just as the teacher said, the fruits produced by the sweet potatoes became ordinary again.】

【This made Mr. Yuan realize that sweet potatoes were not the path he wanted to take, but rice was.】......Dividing line......

Brothers, it will be on the shelves soon. I will update it tomorrow. Please give me some comments and flowers. Don’t make it look too ugly. Thank you all.
