Although Lin Ziyun had said it before.
The yield of potatoes per mu would reach several thousand catties.
However, after witnessing it with his own eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still shocked speechless.
Soon, his eyes became moist.
Tears also fell down.
"Father, Mother, did you see that?”
"It's more than 7000 catties per mu!"
"It's a total of more than 7000 catties!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was hoarse.
It had been a long time since he cried.
When he conquered the world.
He shouldered the heavy responsibility of restoring China and expelling the barbarians.
When he was the emperor.
He was at the peak of his life.
There were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him.
The tens of millions of people of Great Ming were also counting on him.
Therefore, he had never shown any signs of weakness.
But this time, he really couldn't hide it.
His true feelings were revealed!
His parents and big brother had starved to death back then!
If there were thousands of catties of potatoes per mu…
How could his family be destroyed and he be forced to become a monk?!
"Father!"
"Don't be too sad. Take care of your dragon body!!”
Zhu Biao quickly knelt down.
She cried as she spoke.
"Yes, yes, nothing can happen to us!"
"We still have to promote potatoes to the entire Great Ming Dynasty. We also have to let the people of Great Ming no longer starve!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly wiped away his tears.
There was a smile on his face again.
His heart was filled with pride!
"Pass down the decree!"
"We want to make that expert a duke! Enjoy the salary of a first-grade official!"
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that Lin Zi Yun was the one who gave him the potatoes.
His respect and gratitude towards Lin Zi Yun was indescribable.
He had once again raised Lin Zi Yun's rank!
Although Zhu Biao was surprised, he felt that it was well-deserved.
Duke was already the highest rank in Da Ming.
There were currently 23 dukes in Ming Dynasty.
And these dukes were all founding fathers.
However, compared to the achievements of these dukes.
A yield of more than 7000 catties of potatoes per mu.
In addition, it could prevent the Great Ming Dynasty from falling into the cycle of national subjugation.
It was more than enough for Lin Zi Yun to become a Duke!
"Imperial Father, your son will send someone to deliver the decree now!”
"No, I'll go later. That expert is still busy in the fields!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang said considerately.
"…Yes."
"Biao Er! Gather all the officials first. We're going to court now!!”
"Yes!"
In the palace, the bronze bell rang loudly.
The officials who were busy in various departments quickly gathered in the court.
In the cabinet, the six university students who had finished their work and were drinking tea were shocked when they heard the bell.
"Lord Li, His Majesty suddenly summoned all the officials. Could it be that there is an urgent military situation at the border?”
Liu Bowen pulled Li Shan Chang and asked.
Ever since the cabinet began to operate.
Unless it was a major military matter, Zhu Yuanzhang would not summon all officials at will.
Li Shanchang was one of the dukes of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Bowen believed that he should be well-informed.
"I don't know either. The Ministry of War won't report to the cabinet. Let's go to court now.”
Lee Shan Chang also didn't know what had happened.
A few cabinet scholars packed up and went to the court.
When all the civil and military officials had arrived.
Zhu Yuanzhang also sat on the dragon throne.
"I have gathered all the officials today."
"It's to announce something big!"
Hearing this, the civil and military officials listened attentively.
"Just a few months ago, Zhen obtained a type of crop.”
"This crop is called potatoes and can replace the main grain.”
"The yield per mu can reach six to seven thousand catties!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
It was like thunder.
All the officials were dumbfounded.
They were all scared silly!
6,000 to 7,000 catties per mu?
What kind of concept was this?
Da Ming's current grain yield per mu was only two to three hundred catties.
It had increased by 20 to 30 times!
Hiss ~!
Gasps of cold air echoed in the court.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Da, was the first to step forward.
"Your Majesty, a yield of six to seven thousand catties per mu, is there really such a divine item in this world?!!”
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang has summoned all officials and you are not joking.
But Xu Da still couldn't believe it.
The yield per mu is 6,000 or 7,000 catties.
It was too mystical.
He didn't even dare to dream about it!
"This matter is absolutely true!"
"I planted ten catties of potatoes three months ago, and now I have gained more than 100 catties. After the precise calculation by the agricultural officials, it is confirmed that we can produce more than 7600 catties per mu!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang said resolutely.
"Plop!" A sound rang out.
Tang He, the Duke of Xin State, knelt down.
He was so excited that his entire body trembled.
"Your Majesty, where is this divine item?!!”
Tang Heke was also a poor farmer.
He had also been hungry before.
He knew what a divine item like potatoes meant!
"Biao Er, carry the things up!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Biao brought a few commandants and quickly carried a basket of potatoes into the hall.
Xu Da, Tang He, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and the others looked at the baskets of crops that they had never seen before and instantly understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was not lying.
This potato was indeed real!
"God bless my Great Ming, this is God bless my Great Ming!!”
Lee Shan Chang raised his head and shouted.
Tang He rushed forward and hugged a basket with tears in his eyes.
Xu Da was slightly better off, but he was still holding two potatoes, and his eyes were shining as he looked at them.
That gaze was as passionate as seeing a lover!
They could not be blamed for losing their composure.
It was because they had climbed up from the bottom.
He had experienced the feeling of hunger.
He understood the sufferings of the people.
Many of Xu Da, Tang He, Li Shan Chang, and the others 'relatives died of hunger!
At this moment, they saw thousands of catties of potatoes per mu.
It would be abnormal if they weren't crazy.
"Your Majesty, such a divine item should be promoted to the world!”
"I wonder where Your Majesty obtained this divine item?!”
Liu Bowen asked first.
At this moment, there were only 100 catties of potatoes. It was still too little to completely implement it in the entire Ming Dynasty!
Li Shan Chang, Xu Da, and the others also came back to their senses and immediately looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"…This divine item was given to me by an expert. It is said that it came from overseas.”
Hearing this, Liu Bowen's eyes flashed.
Expert?
How many experts could Da Ming have?
They could even produce crops that could produce several thousand catties per mu.
This was really a god!
Could this be an immortal fruit?
Liu Bowen had already seen Lin Ziyun as a god, and he was filled with endless respect for Lin Zi Yun.
After all, this potato was enough to save tens of millions of people from hunger!
Such merit could be said to be limitless!
"It is also Great Ming's fortune that Your Majesty can obtain the help of the gods!”
Lee Shan Chang also guessed the origin of the potatoes.
While he was shocked, he immediately cupped his hands and cupped his hands.
"Haha."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and then became serious again.
"At present, I only have a hundred catties of potatoes, but in a few months, I will have a thousand catties, ten thousand catties, or even a hundred thousand catties!!”
"But before that,"
"We still have to make some preparations for the promotion of potatoes!”
"From today onwards, I will gather all the scholars in the world to come to the capital and have professional agricultural officials teach them how to grow potatoes. In the future, we will rely on them to promote this potato to all parts of the world!!”
"For these scholars, the Imperial Court will provide them with food, but they will not provide them with more salary. The yamens, village chiefs, and clans in the various places must also help the scholars unconditionally.”
"If these scholars perform well when promoting potatoes, I won't be stingy with my official position!”
"Remember, I want to gather all the scholars. No matter how knowledgeable they are, as long as they can read!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed.
He had summoned all the officials today.
The main purpose was to continue the implementation of the township official system.
Moreover, he only said that he wanted these scholars to promote potato planting.
He didn't even say that he would continue to keep these scholars after the potato was implemented.
This was all to numb the eyes of the great clans!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Lee Shan Chang was the first to kneel.
As the head of the civil officials, scholars could have one more way to rise.
Lee Shan Chang was naturally very happy.
He expressed his full support.
Liu Bowen narrowed his eyes.
He had a feeling that things weren't that simple.
However, no matter how one looked at it, the promotion of potatoes was beneficial to the world.
Liu Bowen finally knelt on the ground.
The officials also knelt down.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
It's settled!
The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth quickly curled up.
