It's not that the ministers have to speculate on this matter with malice, it's too suspicious.
Looking back thousands of years of history, there is no grain that can reach this kind of yield!
When people are faced with something that is suddenly beyond their cognition, their first reaction is to question.
These ministers are no exception.
But who is Guan Zhong, he had already expected this to happen before he went to the court.
He raised his hand, pointed to the copied folding, and said, "If you have any doubts in your heart, you might as well take a look at the data in your hand." "
"So far, no flaws have been found in the data recorded above, and if you find any errors, you can point them out. "
The ministers listened to Guan Zhong's words and looked at each other.
When they heard this, they immediately looked at the thin sheets of paper in their hands.
I looked at it several times, and I didn't see anything wrong or missing.
Guan Zhong didn't see the mistakes, with them, if he wanted to see the mistakes, it was tantamount to making it difficult to get to the sky!
Those ministers finally chose to give up when they saw the end.
Even so, they still find it difficult to accept that the yield of potatoes is so easily exceeding that of the 130 thousands of years of staple food.
A minister stood up and asked, "Lord Guan, this potato has such a large yield, can it be eaten to a full stomach?"
When the other ministers heard this question, they couldn't help but ask: "I have also heard that there is a limit to the nourishment of the land, and that the yield of potatoes is so large, that perhaps the fruit produced is not as good as that of wheat and rice." "
There seems to be some truth to this conclusion.
The ministers present couldn't help but nod their heads.
Guan Zhong directly ordered the eunuchs on the left and right: "Go and bring the finished potatoes, so that all the adults present can have a good taste." "
As soon as the ministers heard that the potatoes had been made, they couldn't help but look forward to it.
This is a high-yield grain seed that King Ning personally obtained, and it can be said to be a very precious thing.
I didn't expect them to be able to taste it for themselves.
Some ministers don't think the potatoes taste too 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?
Boiled and steamed potatoes were served.
A scent immediately wafted out of the air.
Everyone stared intently at the yellow, soft and glutinous potatoes on the plate.
A little suspicious that the dusty potatoes mentioned in the fold are these things in front of you?
It's not like that at all!
Despite the hesitation, everyone still got off the chopsticks and tasted it under the urging of Guan Zhong.
As soon as you enter the mouth, the soft and glutinous texture will overwhelm people.
This taste is completely different from those staple foods eaten in the past, but it has a delicious texture!
Potatoes, it's such a delicious food?!
After everyone tasted it, they felt that the taste was not inferior to those staple foods before!
Even the minister, who had speculated that the potatoes tasted bad, stopped talking.
The potato was a surprise to them.
It's not what they imagined!
It's all about the taste of noodles!
Guan Zhong saw that all the ministers looked surprised, so he spoke: "This potato is not only fragrant and soft, but also has a thin skin on the outside, so that the edible part accounts for the majority. "
"It's fitting that this kind of food is used for the relief of the victims. "
Guan Zhong paused and continued, "Maybe His Royal Highness King Ning had taken into account the problem of food shortage before, so he ordered us to plant potatoes. "
When the ministers heard this, they felt that it was very reasonable.
Yes, whether it is potatoes or two other food crops, they were all carefully selected by King Ning and let them plant.
It must have been King Ning who had known the characteristics of the potato before, so he specially got these seeds.
The ministers looked at the steaming potatoes and thought of another layer of deep meaning: "And this potato does not need to be ground into powder by grinding the disc, and it can be eaten directly by removing the outer layer of skin, which is really convenient." "
Some ministers ate and ate, and also came back to the taste: "Speaking of which, this taste is a bit similar to taro." (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The other ministers immediately retorted: "How is it possible, it is clearly a little better than the taste of taro, and it is much more delicate." "
Taro is also a great food for disaster relief.
However, since taro is an aquatic plant, it is cultivated on a limited scale.
It can't be used as disaster relief food every year.
But potatoes are different, they can be grown in vast areas.
The yield of potatoes is still high, and now, even if they are not used as disaster relief food, potatoes can be completely eaten as the main food!
The more the ministers thought about it, the more they felt that the role of potatoes was too great!
If large-scale planting is carried out, won't Daming be a person who will never go hungry again in the future?
This can be said to be a brilliant achievement!
When Guan Zhong saw the excited looks of the ministers, he knew that they, like himself, realized the great role of potatoes.
Guan Zhong reminded: "Don't forget, there are also sweet potatoes, corn and other crops ordered by His Royal Highness King Ning. "
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of those ministers were surging again!
His Royal Highness King Ning is too godly, right?
In addition to potatoes, there are two other high-yielding crops!
Could it be that His Highness has long been aware of the shortage of food in the Ming Dynasty, so he has been looking for these crops that can replace the staple food?
I also want to know that such high-yield food crops with excellent varieties must not be something that can be easily obtained.
It must be something that can only be found after many searches!
The ministers couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness is really far-sighted and far-reaching. "
If not, it will not be, and these seeds will be taken out at once.
Presumably, in His Royal Highness's heart, he already had a plan to transform the Ming Dynasty.
Guan Zhong was also quite impressed: "These newly produced potatoes have been sent to Henan, Shandong and other places, if it weren't for His Highness this time, I'm afraid a large number of people would die." "
The other ministers were also deeply touched by Guan Zhong's words.
Yes, if His Highness hadn't agreed to divide those potatoes as food, with the population of Shandong and Henan, there would have been a scene of starvation all over the place.
Thinking of this, the ministers' admiration for Zhu Quan went to another level.
If we talk about the past, they recognized Zhu Quan's military strength.
This time, according to them, they recognized that Zhu Quan also had a benevolent heart for the people.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to aim precisely at the grain.
Wheat and rice, staple foods, have been popular for thousands of years, and no one has thought of changing them or coming up with new food crops.
But His Highness was different, he thought of it, and found a practical and effective way.
Such a highness is pragmatic and efficient, and he doesn't look like a young man with a long-term vision!
