Chapter 387 Even if you send troops, you won’t hesitate

Hearing that there are crops that are thousands and hundreds of times stronger than sweet potatoes, the hall instantly became quiet.

Sweet potatoes were beyond their knowledge, and what would a crop that was thousands of times more powerful be like?

Totally unimaginable.

"As far as I know, these sweet potatoes come from the Western countries in the far west. This Western country likes spices the most. Over the years, it has been searching for spice-producing countries at sea. A few years ago, it sailed to Luzon, India and so on.

Countries that produce spices and trade with them.

I brought these sweet potatoes with me on the way, but it seems I only brought sweet potatoes, because this thing is not considered a rarity in their place, but there are some rare things, such as a thing called potato."

Break the head.

This name sounds really hard to understand.

But it is indeed like those messy countries with names in messy languages. After all, the foreign countries have no culture, how can they be compared with the great Ming Dynasty.

"Potato is the name of the people in the West. It sounds like a potato, but when translated, it means potato. For example, they call the sweet potato Sweetpotato. Sweet means sweet in the Thai language, so it means sweet.

Yam."

Sweet potato, this one is very appropriate, after all, the sweet potato is indeed sweet.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I didn't expect that the Xia Qing family would actually be involved in the language of this country."

"I am ashamed."

Xia Yuan had never been good at reading English in his previous life, so he could only remember some simple vocabulary.

But the Spaniards discovered potatoes first, and Columbus was from Spain. In Spanish, potatoes don’t know what to call them. He remembered that they were called papa, and it sounded like he was calling daddy.

Anyway, let’s talk nonsense first.

Let’s talk about the title of Fanbang first.

"I called it sweet potato because I thought it came from a foreign country, so I gave it that name. It's okay to call it sweet potato. After all, it is red.

And this potato, let's call it potato. I heard that this thing also grows in the soil. It is golden in color, very similar to the color of soybeans, but it is countless times larger than soybeans, and it is about the same size as a fist.

The big one is as big as a child’s head.”

"I heard that potatoes are far more productive than sweet potatoes. The yield per acre of land can reach tens of thousands of kilograms. Moreover, they are a pure staple food. They are much more nutritious than crops such as wheat and rice, and their efficacy is comparable to that of ginseng. But even if it is eaten every day

Eating it will not cause side effects like ginseng, such as getting angry, nosebleeds, or lack of replenishment.

It can also be planted in any area and can be planted twice a year."

The yield per mu is tens of thousands of kilograms.

This yield alone has caused an uproar in the whole palace. The efficacy of Huanima is comparable to that of ginseng, and it has no side effects.

The yield of tens of thousands of ginseng per mu can be grown twice a year.

This is bluffing.

Looking at the uproar in the hall, Xia Yuan looked serious. Anyway, he was not cheating. Potatoes are indeed the staple food with the highest nutritional value. They are also known as underground ginseng.

Although the yield per mu is open to question, in later generations there was a yield of 20,000 kilograms of potatoes per mu, and I don’t know whether it was true or not.

But ten thousand catties can be achieved in the future.

And when potatoes were introduced to the Ming Dynasty, there was no yield of tens of thousands of jin per mu, and there was no effect of ginseng, so what did it have to do with someone from Xia?

He also heard about it through hearsay.

Emperor Hongzhi's breathing accelerated several times, and his eyes were glowing green. If the Ming Dynasty had this acre of potatoes that produced tens of thousands of kilograms, wouldn't everyone in the world eat ginseng?

"This ginseng you are talking about, no, where is this country of Thailand and the West?"

"It's the country that I, the Ming Dynasty, call Folangji."

"Folangji?" Zhu Youtang was startled, and then searched in his mind when the Ming Dynasty called a certain country Folangji, but after much thought, he couldn't think of it.

"My dear fellows, have you ever heard of this so-called Fo Langji?"

All the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

Looking at this scene, Xia Yuan frowned slightly. Didn't this Fo Langji get its name from the Ming Dynasty?

What about the Folan machine gun?

But after thinking about it, he understood that the Ming Dynasty must have not come into contact with the Portuguese and Spanish. After all, these people had just arrived in Southeast Asia a few years ago and were busy carrying spices home.

It's good to have never heard of it, it's good to have never been exposed to it, so it's easier to ignore it. No, it's easier to talk about it.

But first we need to find a footnote on the origin of this Folang machine.

"Your Majesty, this Fo Langji is the name I heard mentioned by an old man from my hometown when I was young. This old man's father once sailed to the West with the Three Treasures Eunuch. I think this Fo Langji was the name given by the Three Treasures Eunuch when he first sailed to the West.

.”

As soon as they heard about the voyage to the West, the monarchs and ministers present immediately understood. Emperor Hongzhi said: "In other words, when I, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, went to the Western Sea, the eunuch Sanbao had contact with this kind of Buddhist country?"

"That's how it should be."

At this time, someone asked, "Since there is such a sacred object in Folangji country, and Zheng He visited Folangji country back then, why can't we see that Zheng He brought it back to the Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, the others also calmed down. When Zheng He went to the West, he heard that he had visited many countries along the way and had exchanges with many countries. This was the reason why all the nations came to visit him later.

If you go to the Franconian country and hear that there are potatoes that yield ten thousand kilograms per acre and many other magical things, you should bring them back.

Could it be that such crops don’t actually exist?

Xia Yuan shook his head, "It's not that the Three Treasures eunuchs didn't bring them back, but that there was no such crop in the Franji Kingdom at that time."

"I heard that Fo Langji also got these potatoes from somewhere else."

"After getting it, the Folangji people felt like they had found a treasure and they would never let outsiders know about it. They even issued a ban to strictly prohibit this thing or its seeds from flowing to other countries."

"Is this Folangji any good?"

This remark did not hesitate to pour cold water on the heads of the monarchs and ministers present. Some people wanted to accuse such self-respecting behavior, but they swallowed the words as soon as they were spoken.

If the Ming Dynasty had obtained such a sacred object, it would have taken great care of it and issued strict orders to prevent it from being circulated to other countries.

After all, the yield per mu is tens of thousands of kilograms, and its efficacy is comparable to that of ginseng.

People in this world may not know what nutrients and proteins they have, but they all know that only by eating better can a person become stronger.

If I eat ginseng all day long, which has no side effects, it’s strange that my bones are not strong.

Those who are strong and strong are elites when they serve as soldiers and fight.

If these crops are circulated to other countries, they are raising tigers.

But for this kind of crop, the monarchs and ministers present had only one idea: they must get it.

Whether it’s for the sake of the people of the world or for themselves, they have to get it.

After all, ginseng is very expensive, and using ginseng for nourishment all day long costs a lot of money. But if you have this potato, you can eat ginseng all day long, which will definitely prolong your life.

Let me ask, who doesn’t want to live a few more years?

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, if this thing is really as miraculous as what Xia Zhan said, then our Ming Dynasty must get this thing. If we have this thing, our Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to reproduce the rule of the three generations of holy kings, and even far exceed the rule of the three generations."

rule!"

"Even if we send troops to rob it, we will not hesitate to do so!"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said in a decisive tone, "Yes, if we want to find out the whereabouts of this country and obtain this thing, we might as well send troops for this purpose. We might as well go to war!"

The rest of the people also expressed their opinions one after another, "It is suspected of being unethical to teach without a name, but for the sake of our Ming Dynasty and the country's ten thousand years plan, this move is especially acceptable!"
