I easily found sweet potatoes and potatoes. The uncle of the junior teacher was very happy and his attitude towards Tu Yu became extremely kind.

Tu Yu was puzzled: "Why are you in such a good mood? Is it related to those two sacks of things? What is that?"

He had seen the things inside, and they were two similar lumps of earth, and he didn't know what it was for.

The uncle of the little teacher answered Tu Yu very readily: "Sweet potatoes and potatoes are two types of crops. They can be cooked or used as grain. They can fill their stomachs and produce a million pounds per mu."

"Thousands, thousand jin?"

Tu Yu was shocked.

Although he is a native of the martial arts world and does not know the lives of farmers, he still knows how much land is produced.

A million pounds per mu!

If these two crops were planted throughout the Ming Dynasty, wouldn’t the people of the world be able to have enough food and not go hungry?

Tu Yu has seen many people starve to death during natural disasters.

With these two crops, that won’t happen, right?

Tu Yu stared at the two sacks with a burning look and asked, "Do you want to bring these two sacks back to the capital?"

The uncle of the junior teacher nodded: "These two things were asked by the emperor and they will be tried in the imperial village first. When the results are released, they can really produce a thousand kilograms per mu, and they will be promoted nationwide."

Tu Yu hurriedly said, "I will help you transport these two bags of things back to the capital to avoid being stolen on the way."

The uncle rolled his eyes: "Who would steal these two things? In the eyes of others, these are two kinds of lumps of earth."

Tu Yu smiled. He actually wanted to follow his uncle to the imperial village to see the planting of two crops with his own eyes.

The uncle saw Tu Yu’s thoughts and said, “If you want to follow, just follow.”

So, the two of them stayed in the port city for only two days before heading north to return to the capital.

Because they brought "precious" things, the two of them did not delay the journey and returned to the capital with great speed.

Along the way, Tu Yu's confidantes wanted to continue blocking him, but they did not block because they were too fast.

After returning to the capital, the uncle of the junior teacher separated from Tu Yu. Tu Yu went to a friend's house in the capital to stay temporarily. The uncle of the junior teacher directly brought sweet potatoes and potatoes to the palace to see Zhu Jianshen.

"Is this the sweet potato?"

"This is sweet potato, this is potato." The uncle of the junior teacher pointed out the difference between the two crops to Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen had disgust in his eyes: "Can these two things be eaten? They won't taste weird, they're very unpalatable, right?"

The junior uncle: "I asked the imperial kitchen to use two dishes to cook in your Majesty."

Zhu Jianshen nodded reluctantly.

He didn't think the dishes made from two ugly earth bumps were delicious.

But for their possible yields, he endured it.

The uncle of the junior teacher brought a few sweet potatoes and a few potatoes to the imperial kitchen, and told them himself that the imperial chefs would do it.

The uncle of the junior teacher is one of the highest eunuchs. The food he cooks is for the emperor. The people in the imperial kitchen attach great importance to it and do things very actively according to the uncle of the junior teacher's instructions.

Everyone in the upper and lower areas became busy and soon prepared the food according to the recipe provided by the uncle of the junior teacher.

The uncle of the junior teacher returned to Zhu Jianshen’s office with the food box and took out the food inside.

Sweet potato cakes, shredded sweet potatoes, fried sweet potato meatballs, roasted sweet potatoes, vinegar shredded potatoes, iron plate potatoes, roasted pork ribs, stewed potatoes, French fries...

There was a full table, exuding a strong fragrance.

Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be surprised. Two kinds of earthy lumps could make so many good dishes?

It smells delicious.

There are also Huai'en and several important ministers in the imperial study.

The former prime minister Li Xian has passed away, and the current prime minister is Shang Lu.

Except for Huai'en, the others did not know that Uncle Junior brought back sweet potatoes and potatoes, so they were quite dissatisfied with Uncle Junior bringing the food into the imperial study room.

But Zhu Jianshen heard him say to everyone: "Let's try it together, how do these two foreign foods taste?"

Fanbang Food?

Why does the emperor's own food not eat local food but go to Fanbian food?

Will it be like Yang Guifei spending manpower and material resources to eat a bite of lychee?

Shang Lu wanted to advise Zhu Jianshen, but saw Huaien smiling, looking very expectant.

Shang Lu swallowed the words back into his stomach and walked to the other side of Zhu Jianshen to sit down.

When the other officials saw that Shang Lu did not speak, they did not speak.

The uncle of the junior teacher stood behind Zhu Jianshen and picked up chopsticks to pick up food for him.

First pick up a piece of shredded sweet potatoes, and you should eat this thing while it is hot. If it is cold and the sugar is solidified, it will not be delicious.

Zhu Jianshen took a bite of the shredded sweet potato and his eyes lit up: "Good."

The uncle of the junior teacher picked up other dishes for him.

Zhu Jianshen became more and more satisfied with the more he ate it: "I didn't expect that the sweet potatoes and potatoes looked ugly but tasted so good."

Wyen nodded: "This crop with high yield and good taste should be widely promoted."

Uncle Xiaoshi: "There are only two bags in total, and it needs to be promoted in the Royal Village last season before more seeds will be promoted."

Zhu Jianshen: "Then you go to the imperial village north of the city tomorrow."

The junior uncle replied: "Yes."

Shang Lu and a group of important officials: "..."

Why don't they understand?

Shang Lu spoke: "Your Majesty, it's a bit inappropriate to plant it with a royal farm in order to eat this country's food?"

When Zhu Jianshen heard Shang Lu speak, he knew that he was about to start a long-term advice, so he quickly spoke up to interrupt Shang Lu's words.

"Shang Aiqing, do you know which two kinds of these dishes are made?"

Shang Lu and a group of ministers shook their heads.

I don't know.

Zhu Jianshen: "This is sweet potato, this is potato."

He pointed it to the ministers: "You have tasted it, right? Isn't it very good? Let's have another roasted sweet potato and a roasted potato."

He personally distributed the roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes to a trunk of ministers.

What else can I say if I have something stuffed on my hands?

Eat it.

So, roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes entered the belly of Shanglu and the ministers.

Then they were surprised to find that they were full!

Without eating staple food, they are full!

What does this mean?

It means that two things can not only be used as staple food, but also as staple food!

Shang Lu looked up and stared at Zhu Jianshen with a bright look.

Zhu Jianshen nodded: "I specially asked Zhao Xuan to find these two crops, because they can not only cook vegetables but also make staple foods, but more importantly, the yield per mu of the two crops can reach a thousand pounds!"

Thousand pounds!

Shang Lu suddenly stood up, and the other ministers also occupied it, all staring at Zhu Jianshen with incredible eyes.

"Your Majesty, you, what you said is true?"

A grain crop with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu!

If promoted...

Shang Lu couldn't help but tremble with excitement when he thought that the people of Ming Dynasty had enough food and clothing and would never endure hunger.

Zhu Jianshen was much calmer than them, of course, because he had been excited for a long time.
Chapter completed!
