Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Yuanzhang deserves to be the emperor, and he can see clearly the smallness in the hearts of the ministers.

Therefore, he gave Li Shanchang a reassurance and said.

"Shanchang, why are you in a hurry, we didn't say that we are going to fight Tianzhu right now, but I just have an idea, let's make plans slowly."

After hearing this, Li Shanchang secretly let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that he is really thankful.

In order to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from continuing to pay attention to this, he still had to change the subject quickly.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to focus on killing the Japanese pirates first, because they cultivate land in China, and it's no problem to get them to Daming to farm land. After the colonization of Japan is done, then go to Tianzhu. That will be more obvious. Take it easy."

Zhu Tao listened from the side, and felt that Li Shanchang's words were a bit conservative, but they were also considered old-fashioned words for seeking the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, but said.

"However, the Japanese pirates are cruel by nature, but they are not as docile as the soldiers and civilians of Tianzhu Kingdom. If you want to tame the Japanese pirates, I'm afraid it will not be a matter of time."

This is indeed a concern, but Zhu Tao said.

"Actually, the Japanese pirates have a characteristic, that is, they are both arrogant and humble. Arrogance is against the bottom, and humility is against the top. As long as they are completely tamed, they are more like slaves than the untouchables in Tianzhu, and they are easier to submit."

After hearing this, all the ministers present widened their eyes, wondering how these Japanese slaves could be so perverted.

Zhu Tao continued.

"I haven't finished yet. These Japanese pirates advocate absolute strength. Once they are crushed in strength, they will be completely conquered spiritually. At that time, whether it is their wives, daughters or lives, they will be willing. offer it up,"

Sure enough, it was very perverted, but Li Shanchang asked another question, he asked.

"But when I was interrogating those Japanese pirates, I felt that they were also very stubborn, and their mouths were always tough, and they would not give in."

Zhu Tao was a little helpless, he said to Li Shanchang.

"Li Xiangguo, you are really a bit stupefied with reading. What's the use of talking to a person like this? Let him see the victory of the Ming army and the strength of the country, and he will naturally bow down and kneel and lick. I can't say anything."

Being told by a junior like Zhu Tao that he has become a nerd, Li Shanchang was still a little depressed. After thinking about Zhu Tao's identity, he felt that there was no problem.

So, he had no choice but to chime in.

"Since this is the case, then I will try it in a few days and show them our Daming army."

At this time Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became excited, and he immediately said to these ministers.

"It's really like what Tao'er said, the people of Tianzhu and Dongying are natural slaves, and the land is so fertile, isn't this a gift from God to Daming! Let Tianzhu provide food, Dongying provide silver and minerals, Then we can conquer the whole world!"

Speaking of this, a natural pride of an emperor filled his heart, which was really too exciting.

In any case, this prospect is too attractive, and no emperor in all dynasties has ever had such an opportunity.

The so-called Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu were nothing more than successful rulers who defended against the enemy externally and stabilized the people internally, but none of them could break through the existing territory.

In fact, in the final analysis, there are two reasons, one is lack of money, and the other is lack of food.

If Da Ming can really have enough money and food, then Da Ming can send troops to conquer anywhere in the world.

Looking at the globe, Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't calm down, but he also knew that things had to be done one by one, and meals had to be eaten at one bite, so he couldn't act too hastily now.

He suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned to ask Zhu Tao about it.

"Tao'er, some time ago, didn't you tell us that your Huaxiang Village experimental field is conducting an upgraded version of the potato experiment? How is it going now?"

Regarding this question, Zhu Tao deliberately sold off, he said with a smile.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. If you want to know how much the upgraded version of potatoes can produce per mu, you have to have a look in my experimental field. Please move with me and all the ministers, and let's go to Huaxiang Village to have a look." .”

If someone else dares to sell the barrier like Zhu Yuanzhang, it will have been dragged out for a long time. After all, I am my favorite son, and it should be reasonable.

"Okay, if this is the case, all of you, the hall officials of the six divisions and the three cabinet members, will accompany us to have a look."

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the captain in front of the palace to prepare horses for everyone, and then went to the experimental field in Huacun Village together.

On the way, the people who were closest to Zhu Yuanzhang were Hubu Shangshu Liang Qingbiao and the three cabinet members. They knew very well that the discovery of potatoes last time had already caused a sensation in the government and the public.

The potato production at that time was [-] catties per mu. For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang also made himself a rich country.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the three cabinet ministers and the Minister of the Household Department with a smile on the road.

"Dear dears, you are most worried about our Daming's money and food, so let's ask you first, how much do you think this upgraded version of potatoes can produce per mu?"

Li Shanchang is the chief assistant of the cabinet, so of course he has to answer first, but with a cautious attitude, he still estimated a relatively conservative figure.

"If you return to the superior position, I think it should be at least six thousand five hundred catties."

In fact, he also talked too much. After all, in this era of wheat and corn, the yield per mu can reach four to five hundred catties, which is considered a very high yield.

Therefore, when potatoes with a yield of [-] catties per mu appeared, he did not expect that there would be more room for improvement in production.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. He felt that Zhu Tao spent more than half a year cultivating new varieties, and it would definitely not be as simple as just increasing five hundred catties.

He didn't refute Li Shanchang's words, just said.

"Then let's stop guessing here. We'll know how much it is when we get to the place. This Huaxiang Village was also Huangzhuang before. The land must be fine. In Tao'er's hands, it will naturally shine even more brilliantly."

While speaking, a group of people quickly came to the experiment in Huaxiang Village, where Old Tang was staring.

At this time, he already knew the true identity of the emperor, but according to Zhu Yuanzhang's request, he still called him the master.

"Master, you are here. There is a special rest room here. Please sit in it with all the adults, and I will ask someone to pour tea."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said to Old Tang very kindly.

"Old Tang, don't worry about drinking tea. I want to ask you, are the upgraded potatoes ripe now? Have they been harvested?"

Old Tang also saluted first, and then spoke.

"Returning to the master, the potatoes have just been harvested and are now being checked. I roughly estimated that the yield per mu is about [-] catties to [-] catties..."

Before Old Tang finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang almost jumped up. What kind of concept is this?
The yield of potatoes per mu is close to [-] catties. Even if half of the people in the world plant potatoes, that is enough to have enough food and clothing.

Based on this foundation, the current population of 6000 million in Ming Dynasty may more than quadruple.
Such a prospect, how can we not make people full of longing, this is Zhu Tao's inexorable feat.
