However, Hu Changan did not panic at all, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, the fruit of this potato is the seed of the potato."
"As long as you cut mature potatoes into pieces and plant them directly into the ground, you can get new potato seedlings."
What?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the table full of dishes, his heart was bleeding.
Did he accidentally eat the potato seeds just now?
"Hu Aiqing, you must not eat the remaining potatoes!"
"If we eat up all the potatoes, the breeding will be delayed. Originally, we didn't grow many potatoes, and any less potatoes will delay the big event!"
"I also plan to promote this magical potato to the whole country!"
Hu Changan smiled slightly.
Sure enough, any individual can see the huge potential contained in potatoes.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt worried when he looked at the dishes on the table.
Is it possible that this big table of food needs to be thrown away?
No, he also wants the ministers to experience the benefits of this potato!
"Inform the ministers that there will be a meeting in Jinluan Hall this afternoon!"
...
In the afternoon, the ministers gathered together again in Jinluan Hall.
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and they all feel puzzled.
Why did I have to go to court in the afternoon after I had already gone to court in the morning?
Will I have to go to Hajj twice a day in the future?
They are not as energetic as His Majesty!
Fortunately, this time Zhu Yuanzhang did not talk about state affairs as soon as he came up.
Zhu Yuanzhang just sat at the top with a smile on his face, and ordered the palace officials to bring a small bowl of food to all the ministers.
Some in the bowl are yellow mashed potatoes, and some are brown potato cubes drenched with sauce. Although they are different, they are all potatoes.
Everyone looked at the strange things in the bowl and became convinced.
Fortunately, it's not a discussion.
It is estimated that these are delicacies that His Majesty found from remote areas and he wanted to reward them.
Without much hesitation, everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the side and started eating.
Gradually, everyone was captured by this delicious bite.
Oh my God, Daming actually has such delicious food!
Soft, glutinous, delicious, with different flavors, and very filling. What kind of divine cuisine is this!
Some courtiers who were good at flattering were the first to speak after eating: "Your Majesty, this food is really delicious!"
"The Ming Dynasty has such delicacies and delicacies, all thanks to the glory of Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, other ministers also agreed.
"This food is really delicious. I have lived for more than seventy years, and I have never eaten anything so delicious!"
"I have been fond of delicious food since I was a child. I have eaten food from all over the country, but I have never tasted something so special."
Amid the compliments from all the ministers, Li Shanchang made a concluding speech: "Your Majesty, is this thing brought back from Yunnan by General Lan?"
"This time we solved the old Yuan and Mongolian tribes and conquered the border areas of Yunnan. This is a great achievement!"
"This matter depends largely on His Majesty's strategic planning and the might of God."
As Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, Li Shanchang naturally knew everything about the affairs of the court.
Lan Yu had recently won a great victory in Yunnan, so the news of Ban Shi's return to the court could not be hidden from him.
Seeing this novel dish in front of him, Li Shanchang naturally imagined the whole process.
This must be the exotic cuisine that Lan Yu brought back from Yunnan!
This blue jade really knows how to take credit!
No, even Li Shanchang cannot be left behind!
Therefore, Li Shanchang praised the new dish to the sky, and also flattered Zhu Yuanzhang.
Immediately, the Huaixi faction officials standing on Li Shanchang's side also echoed incessantly, and the atmosphere in the venue was extremely warm.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the top position, smiled, waved his hands indifferently and said: "Li Aiqing, you guessed wrong this time."
"This thing is the potato that Hu Changan mentioned before!"
"Since all my dear friends think it tastes delicious, I can rest assured."
"If this thing is promoted, it will definitely capture the hearts of the people!"
What?
This thing turns out to be the potato that guy Hu Changan mentioned before?
Li Shanchang suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.
With all the praise he just said, all the praise was directed at Hu Changan?
Li Shanchang's face suddenly became unbearable.
At this time, everyone's eyes also turned to Hu Changan.
But Hu Changan didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and gestured modestly to the other ministers.
At this time, Fu Youde on the side was anxious.
This Hu Changan, before he exposed the fact that he secretly occupied people's property without saying a word, if he gains power this time, what's the point?
Fu Youde quickly bucked the trend, knelt down and shouted to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by this little novelty!"
"Then who is Hu Chang'an? Don't you know yet?"
"In the name of fighting the epidemic, I promoted my own products and earned tens of thousands of taels of silver a month. I am a businessman who is purely profit-seeking and has not run away."
"Your Majesty, don't you usually hate these treacherous and cunning businessmen the most?"
"You must not let him go!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face immediately sank.
Without too much nonsense, Zhu Yuanzhang directly took the memorial at hand and threw it at Fu Youde: "Fu Youde, please open your eyes and take a good look!"
"It is true that I don't know who Hu Changan is, but I also don't know who you are, Fu Youde!"
"Fu Youde, as a high-ranking Duke, you are really disappointing!"
Fu Youde gingerly opened the memorial that had fallen at his feet, and his vision suddenly went dark.
I saw that in that memorial, there was neatly written evidence that my family had embezzled people's property!
From big to small, even if it's just an acre of land, everything is clearly marked on it.
Now, Fu Youde couldn't even stand.
Fu Youde's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing like a fool: "Your Majesty, this is nonsense! Who is slandering me?!"
"Your Majesty, you must be careful! Don't be fooled by those villains!"
After saying that, Fu Youde cast his resentful eyes directly at Hu Changan.
You little boy, how dare you peel off my skin?
As long as Fu Youde stands in the court for one day, he and Hu Changan will be at odds with each other!
Looking at Fu Youde who was still quibbling, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart completely dropped.
We have already reached this point, are you still refusing to admit your fault?
Unexpectedly, Fa Xiao, who conquered the world with him before, has completely changed now!
He is no longer the boy who slayed the dragon, but has become the evil dragon that everyone fears!
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head in disappointment and said coldly to Fu Youde: "Fu Youde, stop staring at Hu Changan!"
"I asked Jin Yiwei to investigate this specifically!"
"Even if I have an acre of land, I will never wrong you!"
