Zhu Aolao knew very early that the reason why chaos broke out all over the world and people raised flags to rebel was because they had no food.

Therefore, with Hao Guangming, she had long understood the food issues.

She knew that in later generations, the country of Great China had a population of 1.4 billion, which was several times that of the Ming Dynasty, but food was still abundant, and there was basically no food shortage.

That's why when she was answering questions (speech) for the soldiers just now, she said that she would bring high-yielding grain seeds with her great supernatural powers.

When Li Yan asked, she was about to give a positive answer.

But suddenly I heard Hao Guangming saying seriously through the earphones: "We can't talk nonsense anymore about high-yielding grain seeds. The seeds we bring to you may not be able to be grown!"

Zhu Ailao frowned and thought, what does this mean?

In front of so many people, it was hard for her to ask Hao Guangming directly through a Bluetooth headset.

But I heard Hao Guangming continue: "Although high-yield grain seeds cannot be guaranteed, new crops such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. brought by the Western Yi from the Americas can be said to be.

These three crops are not only drought-resistant, easy to grow and grow, but also have large yields, which are enough to greatly increase the grain output of the Ming Dynasty.

As far as I know, although the subsequent Qing Dynasty was not as good as the Ming Dynasty in treating the people, it still managed to feed more than 400 million people by relying on these new crops from overseas and tax reforms."

···

After Li Yan asked, he saw Zhu A'ao smiling and opening his mouth to speak, so he thought that the matter of high-yielding grain seeds was inseparable.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ainao's expression suddenly changed slightly and she frowned.

He noticed the Bluetooth headset in Zhu Yuluo's cochlea.

He guessed that this should be the rare object that connected Zhu Yurao with the prince-in-law of later generations, so he couldn't help but worry: Did the later generations not have any high-yielding grain seeds, or the prince-son-in-law couldn't get them, or simply didn't want to give them to the Ming Dynasty?

It was hard for him to ask questions at the moment, so he could only wait patiently.

Finally, Zhu Yuluo looked over and said: "The grain seeds I mentioned did come from later generations, but if they were brought to the Ming Dynasty, they might not be able to survive."

Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

At this time, Liu Xiaolian couldn't help but ask: "How come the food seeds that His Highness said are really available in the future generations cannot be planted in my Ming Dynasty? Is it because there are too many natural disasters in my Ming Dynasty and there are not many natural disasters in the future generations?"

"That's not the case." Zhu Aao shook her head, "I still need to find out the details with my consort in the future. I can't tell you too much now."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhenghua said solemnly: "If this is the case, this matter must not be spread out, otherwise the soldiers will think that His Highness is talking nonsense and deceiving them, which will greatly damage His Highness's credibility."

The red lady held the handle of the whip, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "There are only so many people in the tent. If this matter spreads, I will definitely find the person who leaked it for the princess and punish him severely."

Although the red lady said this with a smile, it made many people's hearts tremble.

They know that the red lady is no joke.

Look at the dark red color of her long whip made of unknown material. It is not originally like this, but has been stained by blood for a long time.

Zhu Yura thought that everyone would be disappointed and even blame her when they found out that the high-yielding grain seeds were not successful.

Unexpectedly, instead of blaming her, everyone immediately thought of her and helped deal with the aftermath.

This moved her quite a bit.

Taking a breath, she smiled again and said: "You don't need to do this. Although I can't guarantee to bring usable high-yielding grain seeds, I know that we can find several new ones that can greatly increase the grain output of the Ming Dynasty.

crop.

There are mainly three types of sweet potato, corn, and potato, which are all brought from overseas in the Americas, and have even begun to be cultivated in some places in the south of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as we have a stable territory, we can find these three crops and teach the people how to grow them in future generations, which will definitely increase food production greatly!"

In fact, Xu Guangqi once wrote "Sweet Potato Shu" and submitted it to the court in the hope of promoting sweet potatoes. Unfortunately, the court did not take it seriously at the time.

Among the people present, although Li Yan, Fang Zhenghua, Liu Xiaolian and others had read a lot of books, they had not dealt with this kind of "miscellaneous knowledge", so they did not know about it.

Although Li Yan still felt that overseas crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes were probably not as good as high-yield grain seeds, he also knew that this matter could not be forced.

Besides, since Zhu Aelao said that sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes can greatly increase grain production, it should be true.

At this time, Liu Xiaolian asked: "I saw in the movie that there are 30 million people in Henan. It is incredible. Is it because of the planting of new crops such as sweet potatoes that we can feed so many people?"

Zhu Yucao said: "This is indeed the main reason, but there are also other reasons, such as the development of transportation and industry and commerce."

After hearing this, Liu Xiaolian was thoughtful.

The red lady then asked a question.

"Princess, will there be a big iron bird in future generations? Can you think of a way to bring it here? Or we can build one ourselves? If there is such a big iron bird, who should we be afraid of?"

Zhu Ainao couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this.

She followed Hao Guangming's explanation: "How can I bring something as big as an airplane? As for making it ourselves, it's not impossible, but... maybe we won't be able to see it until you and I get old.

The prerequisite for this is that we bring peace to the world as soon as possible so that all walks of life can develop rapidly under our arrangements."

Hearing this, Gao Shengqi also had the courage to ask: "Your Highness, the blunderbuss in the movie are much more powerful than what we have now. Can they be brought from future generations?"

Zhu Yusao shook her head first, and then said: "Although I can't get the kind of muskets in the movie from later generations, I can bring better technology and let my Ming craftsmen make better muskets."

Hearing this, Gao Shengqi, Li Zhenwu and others couldn't help but feel excited.

Li Zhenwu even smiled and said: "If our Ming Dynasty's muskets were 30% as powerful as those in the movie, they would be enough to bring peace to the world!"

Then, everyone asked some other questions.

Zhu Aelao who could answer all the questions answered them one by one.

At the same time, ordinary soldiers who had watched half of "1942" were also discussing what happened in the movie.

What they noticed was somewhat different from Li Yan and others.

"Hey, let me tell you, my boss, Lao Fan, is not a bad person, but he is too stingy. If he has food, he doesn't know how to feed his helpers first. If bandits come to rob the village, they will definitely not be able to keep the food."

"Old Fan is not bad. Master Fan is really bad. The woman who wants to take advantage of Blind Deer is as bad as Master Hu in our village. He deserves to be beaten to death. It's a pleasure to watch."

"Let me tell you, there are poor people in this great famine. As far as we have seen in the past few years, there is no food everywhere. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant farmer, everyone will starve to death. God will not let anyone live.

ah."

"I see that the famine there is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty. It says that they fled famine to Shaanxi, which means there is no famine in Shaanxi. We have no famine in the north of the Ming Dynasty. We even heard that droughts, locust plagues, and floods occurred in the south.

It’s better to live in exchange for the child.”

"Don't talk about that bad thing, okay? I won't be a beast even if I starve to death."

"Alas, the princess said that she would not be afraid of natural disasters in the future and would be able to provide everyone with enough to eat. I don't know if that's true."

"It must be true. Who is the princess? She is not only the princess of our Ming Dynasty, she has also been enlightened by gods and has great supernatural powers. Otherwise, she can bring portable lamps, movies and other things?"

"That's right. I also believe in the princess. She is as kind and powerful as the Red Lady."

"Haha, I dare say that from now on, the red lady will be the female general, and the princess may become Wu Zetian."

"Hey, you really dare to think about it."

"What's not to think about? Maybe we can all get hereditary military positions to be passed down to our descendants. As the play says, the soldiers who followed Emperor Hongwu to conquer the world are not all developed."

“···”

Zhu A'ao answered the questions of Li Yan and others and asked them to disperse. Then she greeted Fei Zhen'e and returned to the old house in Zhulin.

Hao Guangming is waiting in the main room.
