"Have you heard? The emperor punished a few corrupt officials yesterday!”
"Hehe, of course I heard. The Emperor killed them well, so these corrupt officials should all be killed.”
"The emperor's destiny has returned, and I, Da Ming, have also received the favor of the heavens. In the future, there will be more and more hope!”
"I also just heard some good news. After the Emperor's sacrifice to the heavens, it rained heavily for three consecutive days in Huguang and Jiangxi, saving many people!”
"There's such a thing? I heard that there was a drought in those two places!？”
"You're ignorant. Let me tell you…"
Big Ming was still that Big Ming.
The Yingtian Prefecture was still the Yingtian Prefecture.
On the surface, there didn't seem to be any changes, but there was a huge change in the invisible.
The people seemed to have more confidence and confidence, and the entire city seemed to have more vitality.
What changed was not his material life, but his mind and thoughts.
This was a huge improvement…
"Not bad!"
Zhu Gaojin stood in the void and silently sensed these changes. He could not help but feel a little proud.
Most of these changes were due to him.
If this continued, the Great Ming Empire would definitely undergo earth-shattering changes.
The next step was to promote the development and progress of material life. The most crucial point was to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.
As he thought about it, Zhu Gaojin flew straight to the palace. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Sun Ruowei, who was busy,"
"I'm back. I'll go to the palace first and look for you later!”
"Your Highness!"
In the Imperial Restaurant, Sun Ruowei, who was handling the accounts, suddenly raised her head with a face full of joy.
After more than ten days, his highness had finally returned!
……
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Palace.
Zhu Di, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother were all there, discussing something.
At this moment, with a faint breeze, Zhu Gaojin silently appeared among them.
His appearance was too sudden, giving the few of them a fright.
"I…Phew, it's Fourth Brother!"
"Cough cough, Fourth Brother, can you not appear so suddenly next time? Your third brother is timid and can't stand being scared like this.”
Second Brother and Third Brother subconsciously pulled out their sabers, but they touched nothing.
After seeing who it was, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
The boss was so frightened that his forehead was covered in cold sweat." Fourth Brother, you almost sent me away!”
He was a timid person and was so frightened that he could not catch his breath.
Even Zhu Di's body instantly tensed up. His gaze was like lightning as he subconsciously took a defensive stance.
After a long while, he stared at Zhu Gaojin and said unhappily,"" This is the surprise you were talking about??"
There was some disdain in his words.
Obviously, he remembered what Zhu Gaojin said before he left.
However, he did not expect Zhu Gaojin to give him a 'big surprise' when he returned. It shocked him and everyone else.
"Cough cough!"
Zhu Gaojin coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness. He did not expect that a moment of bad humor would scare them quite badly.
Sometimes, when people were scared, they would indeed be scared to death.
"Of course there are surprises. Look at this!”
Zhu Gaojin wisely changed the topic. He waved his right hand, and a pile of strange things suddenly appeared in the hall.
There were round ones, oval ones, long ones, red ones, green ones, and all sorts of other ones…It was so dazzling.
Zhu Di and the others immediately shifted their attention to these things.
"I say, Fourth Bro, where did you get all this junk?”
Second Brother couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke first. His face had an expression that said,"You're making these things to fool us."
Hearing this, Third Brother and Eldest Brother looked at him strangely, as if they were caring for a retard.
Second Brother was a fool. He didn't even think about what kind of person Fourth Brother was. How could the things he took out be junk?
Even though those things did look…quite strange.
"Tell me, what are the names of these things?”
Leaning back in his seat, Zhu Di glanced at Second Brother and then looked at Zhu Gaojin.
Something that could make his fourth brother say it was a surprise must be something good.
He had a faint premonition that the surprise that Fourth Brother brought this time might exceed everyone's imagination.
"Good!"
Hearing the old man's words, Zhu Gaojin nodded and pointed at a small ball."
"This thing is called a potato. It grows from the ground and can be cooked directly.”
He pointed at a larger oval object and said,""This thing is called a sweet potato. It also grows from the ground.
It could be eaten raw, cooked, roasted, sliced, or fried.”
"These two things can be grown anywhere. The better ones can grow at least two to three thousand catties per mu of land.”
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, the three brothers couldn't help but gasp, and their eyes widened.
The eldest couldn't help but interrupt." Fourth Brother, how can such a small thing grow so much in one mu of land?"”
A yield of two to three thousand catties per mu was simply inconceivable in this era.
Taking Da Ming as an example, under normal weather conditions, the yield of rice and wheat per mu was only about two to three hundred catties.
The people in the hall were not stupid. They instantly understood the huge value of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and their expressions became solemn.
Looking at the potatoes and sweet potatoes that didn't look good, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with excitement. He was even more excited.
With these two great 'divine objects,' the people of Great Ming would no longer have to worry about starving to death or having nothing to eat.
……
"That's right!"
Zhu Gaojin first replied to his boss, then pointed to the pile of things and continued,"
"This thing is called corn. The grains on the outside can be eaten, but the ones inside can be used to light a fire.”
"This red one is chili. It can be used for seasoning.”
"These are peanuts. Boil them or fry them. They're good to go with wine.”
“……”
Every time he pointed at something, Zhu Gaojin would roughly explain its function.
Zhu Di, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother were all focused and listening very seriously, afraid that they would miss something.
There wasn't much information, so Zhu Gaojin finished explaining everything in a short while.
