"Do you know who grew this thing?？”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the officials below and asked.
As soon as he said this, Li Shan Chang knew who Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about.
They also knew why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted them to eat this kind of food.
Sure enough, the next moment, Uncle of Sincerity, Liu Bowen, stepped forward.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is this and who created it?”
All the officials looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with questioning looks!
Although Lee Shan Chang already had a guess in his heart, he still looked at Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his sleeves,
"Crown Prince, tell them!"
Zhu Biao nodded and turned to face the officials.
He pointed at the sweet potato and said loudly,
"This item is called Sweet Potato."
He pointed to the other side." This is called a potato.
It was Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, who found the seeds outside the country.
It had also been personally cultivated by him and the King of Yan!”
Liu Bowen gave him face and hurriedly added,
"Your Highness, how many sweet potatoes are produced?？”
All the officials looked at Zhu Biao curiously.
When Lee Shan Chang and the others heard Chu King Zhu Zhen's name, their hearts tightened. They felt like they were done for today!
The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth curled up.
"Sweet potatoes and potatoes are both 6,000 catties per mu!”
Boom!
At this moment, the officials felt as if their heads had been struck by lightning, and they felt a little dizzy!
What is the feeling of producing six thousand catties per mu?
Some of Da Ming's good fields could only produce five to six hundred catties per mu when the harvest was good!
However, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes was actually 6,000 catties per mu. This was more than ten times!
How could the officials not be shocked!
Even Li Shan Chang and the other Huaixi dignitaries were so shocked that their mouths were wide open!
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he felt a little refreshed.
The shock he felt back then was transferred to these people!
But in the next moment, Zhu Biao's words rang out again.
"However, according to King Chu, if sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted in Yunnan, Xi'an, Taiyuan, and other places, the yield per mu can reach 10,000 jin!”
"Other areas can also produce 4,000 to 7,000 catties per mu.”
"Moreover, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be planted anywhere in Great Ming, even in the barren lands of the northwest!”
After saying everything in one breath, Zhu Biao looked at the officials with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the court was shaken and all the officials were in an uproar!
Everyone knew the Crown Prince's character. It was impossible for him to be careless on such matters. He must have only dared to say this after an investigation!
This also meant that the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes per mu was really 6,000 to 10,000 catties.
Moreover, it could be planted all over the country, but the yield varied.
However, it was still much higher than the production of other grains!
Also, the sweet potatoes and potatoes tasted pretty good. They could make people feel very full!
At the same time, the officials realized a problem.
As long as Da Ming promoted this crop.
Then in the near future, Great Ming would no longer have the problem of food scarcity, and there would no longer be the saying that the people could not eat their fill!
The Great Ming Dynasty would reach its peak for thousands of generations!
In an instant, other than the Huaixi dignitaries led by Li Shan Chang, all the other officials knelt down and kowtowed!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Ming Dynasty will last forever!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty are carefree, and the sun and moon are together!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The hearts of the people have returned and the four directions have come to pay homage!”
Under Liu Bowen's lead, the officials let out heaven-shaking cheers of congratulations!
Lee Shan Chang and the others also knew the importance of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
His expression kept changing, but he could only kneel down and agree loudly!
However, he sighed in his heart. The impeachment had failed this time. The Emperor did not refute them at all.
However, when Zhu Biao finished introducing the sweet potatoes and potatoes, they had already lost!
Compared to this kind of meritorious service that would leave his name in history and benefit the people of the world, escaping the palace was almost negligible!
At this moment, the Huaixi dignitaries led by Li Shan Chang all knew the emperor's answer!
These officials were completely defeated!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everything that was happening below, and a smile appeared on his dignified face.
"Congratulations, dear ministers. The promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes still needs your efforts.
I believe that all of you here will leave your names in history!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words instantly ignited the flames in the hearts of the officials.
Weren't these scholars just trying to leave their names in history?
But today, it seemed that they had a chance. Therefore, all the officials in the imperial court instantly thanked Zhu Yuanzhang with tears of gratitude!
With just one sentence, Li Shan Chang and the others became all alone in the court!
If they dared to impeach him again, these officials who were loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang would drown them in their saliva.
Lee Shan Chang turned his head to look at the pale-faced Xun Gui behind him and sighed.
After a gesture, these people nodded unwillingly and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for his kindness!
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
"Everyone loves you!"
The officials stood up with tears in their eyes. It was unknown if they were sincere or fake!
This was the effect that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted.
He used the merits of the sweet potato and the potato to instantly suppress and cover up Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di's crimes!
"Beloved ministers, the great hero who can leave his name in history is not me, but the King of Chu, Zhu Zhen.
My beloved ministers should not thank me, but the Crown Prince and King Chu!”
Liu Bowen instantly understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant and hurriedly shouted,
"On behalf of the people of the world, we thank King Chu for his selfless sacrifice and the Crown Prince for his generosity!”
"At the same time, it will also give us a chance to leave our names in history. I will do my best until I die!”
"I'll do my best until I die!"
The officials knelt down once again and shouted loudly!
Zhu Biao smiled brightly!
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and said,
The two of them praised Zhu Zhen in their hearts!
Zhu Yuanzhang: I have a good son!
Zhu Biao: I have a good brother!
Zhu Di, on the other hand, thanked Sixth Brother for everything he had done for Fourth Brother!
