The next day.
Hall of Heaven.
Zhu Di sat on the dragon throne, and below him were Zhu Gaojin and his brothers, as well as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and other important officials.
At this moment, there was a table covered with a red cloth in the middle of the hall. On the red cloth, there were a few strange things.
Looking at these things, the officials were curious and confused. They didn't recognize what they were.
"Milords, does anyone know what these are?”
Suddenly, Zhu Di's light voice came from above and echoed in the hall.
He naturally knew that no one knew him, but asking was a necessary process. Moreover, what if there was a fool pretending to know what he didn't know!
Hearing his question, the officials looked at each other. After a long while, no one spoke.
In the end, Yang Shiqi stood up and bowed."Our knowledge is shallow, please enlighten us, Your Majesty!”
It could only be said that he was indeed worthy of being the Pavilion Elder. As soon as he opened his mouth, he subtly praised Zhu Di.
This skill was even higher than Third Brother's.
"These are all auspicious items that the King of Qin found for our Great Ming Dynasty. As for the specifics, let the King of Qin tell everyone personally.”
Zhu Di spoke slowly and looked at Zhu Gaojin.
The latter had no choice but to stand up. He felt that the old man was just lazy, so he asked him to do the science.
Of course, it was more likely that the old man did not remember those things.
Walking to the table, Zhu Gaojin first picked up the potato and then said indifferently,""This thing is called a potato. It grows from the ground…"
"This is a sweet potato…"
"This is a tomato…"
"This is called corn…"
"This is called chili…"
For a moment, only Zhu Gaojin's voice could be heard in the hall. He continued to explain the potatoes and other things to the ministers.
As expected, Yang Shiqi and the others 'expressions became more and more solemn as he introduced them.
At the same time, his solemnity was mixed with intense excitement and ecstasy.
After Zhu Gaojin finished speaking, the hall was silent for a few breaths before everyone could not help but speak.
"What do you mean by potatoes? They can actually reach a yield of one to two thousand catties per mu?”
"Gulu, I'm not dreaming, right? If what Qin Wang said is true, then wouldn't I, Da Ming, be going to heaven!？”
"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, one to two thousand catties per mu, this…this is too unbelievable!”
"Auspicious items…indeed auspicious items. With these, our Ming people are blessed!”
“……”
The entire hall was in chaos. All the officials were surprised, surprised, and in disbelief.
The impact of the potatoes and sweet potatoes was too great.
Zhu Di sat quietly on top of them. He was not in a hurry to stop them and allowed everyone to vent their emotions.
After all, not to mention the ministers, even he himself lost control when he heard the news. He was so excited that he could not control himself.
After a long time, the ministers finally calmed down, and the hall returned to silence.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Yang Shiqi took a deep breath and bowed to Zhu Di. He said in a deep voice,"
"Emperor, please forgive us. We were too excited just now, so we were rude!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the others reacted and quickly echoed,"We were rude, please forgive us, Your Majesty.”
Making a ruckus in the court, this crime could be big or small, it was dispensable, the key was the emperor's attitude.
"No need to be polite. It was just an unintentional mistake.”
Zhu Di waved his hand lightly. He did not care about this matter, or else he would not have let it go.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
……
Yang Shiqi did not retreat after this matter was over. Instead, he continued to report with a serious expression,
"Emperor, if it is really as the King of Qin said, these potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other things are important to the country. I feel that they should be properly controlled and not exposed at all.”
"Otherwise, once the wolf clan in the north, the barbarians in the west, or people from other countries obtain it, it will definitely pose a threat and disadvantage to our Ming Dynasty.”
Yang Shiqi said this very sincerely and did not hide the worry in his heart.
It had to be said that his vision was indeed long-term. He saw the opportunities contained in the potatoes and the hidden dangers.
If these things were used well, it would be the greatest help for Da Ming to soar.
Once a mistake was made and an outsider obtained it, it would also pose a great threat to Great Ming.
In this era, not only did the people of Ming not have enough to eat, but the people of other countries were the same.
The other officials, such as Yang Rong and Yang Pu, were not fools. Hearing his words, they quickly said,
"Emperor, Lord Yang's words are not without reason. We still need to be on guard.”
"That's right, this auspicious item should be exclusive to our Ming Dynasty and must not be allowed to flow into other countries.”
“……”
Hearing the ministers 'advice, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with relief.
Especially Yang Shiqi and the other two, as expected of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
"All of you, rise. Just as Lord Yang and the other ministers have said, potatoes and other things are auspicious things that the heavens have given to my Great Ming. Naturally, we cannot let other countries obtain them.”
Zhu Di said softly as he looked down. His calm voice was filled with determination.
He continued," After discussing with the Crown Prince, we have decided to set aside a thousand mu of land in the southern suburbs and hand it over to the King of Qin to take care of it. It is specially used to grow potatoes and other things.”
"After the seeds are grown, we can discuss where to plant them in the future.”
Qin Wang!
Hearing Zhu Di's words, all the ministers looked at Zhu Gaojin.
The King of Qin was the most graceful man in the Ming Dynasty. This time, he had found auspicious signs such as potatoes. Moreover, the legend said that the King of Qin was a banished immortal…
It was indeed very suitable for him to be in charge of the cultivation of auspicious items.
Moreover, the Emperor and the Crown Prince had already made their decision. It was useless even if they objected.
