Yingtian Prefecture.
Taihe Palace.
Today's court meeting was different from the past.
In the main hall, the officials were discussing animatedly. Everyone was holding a sweet potato in their hands.
When Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the sweet potatoes hidden by Zhu Rong, he ordered the soldiers to transport the sweet potatoes to the national treasury without saying anything.
Two thousand elite soldiers were ready to send these sweet potatoes to the front line as rations.
To solve the urgent needs of the front line.
It was because the young eunuch in the Zhou Palace had said that the sweet potatoes were especially delicious when roasted.
Hence, he decided to do it.
The current emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, ordered people to roast dozens of catties of sweet potatoes and bring them to the main hall for the ministers to taste.
Those ministers had never seen such a thing before.
Each of them held the sweet potatoes in their hands, baffled.
"Your Majesty, is this thing called a sweet potato?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"This thing is called sweet potato. It tastes especially sweet. I haven't been eating well these few days.”
"But yesterday, I ate five or six pieces of this roasted sweet potato, and I'm still full.”
The ministers looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, the dishes in the palace are already extremely exquisite. His Majesty had no interest in food, but he had a special liking for sweet potatoes. It seemed that this sweet potato was unique.”
The Duke of Korea held the sweet potato and looked at it over and over again, smelling it with his nose.
He only felt a fragrance enter his nostrils.
It made people want to take a bite.
Especially the sweet potato, which was still oozing oil. The burnt skin of the sweet potato also emitted a unique fragrance.
Eating sweet potatoes during a court assembly was the first time since the beginning of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Some of the officials did not understand why Zhu Yuanzhang would do this. They were already whispering to each other, discussing why the Emperor would do this.
"I've never seen such a rare thing before. Where did His Majesty get this thing?”
"It seems that this item has won the favor of the Saint.”
"Who cares. He is the emperor. If he wants us to taste it, we can just eat it.”
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's warm greeting, these ministers were already drooling.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
The ministers couldn't wait to take a bite.
With this bite, the sweet taste filled her mouth.
Some people could not help but exclaim.
"Your Majesty is right. This thing tastes very sweet. Delicious, really delicious."
Tang He could not help but exclaim.
Following this exclamation, the others also praised him one after another.
" Delicious. It's indeed delicious."
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing.”
"With this item, the commoners will no longer be afraid of starving.”
Liu Bowen held the sweet potato in his hand and praised it endlessly.
"Your Majesty, I have never eaten such a good thing in my life.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is wise to obtain such a good item.”
"With this item, my Great Ming will no longer have to worry about rations. The foundation of the country can be consolidated. Your Majesty is wise."
Praise rose and fell in the hall.
And these praises were all praising Zhu Yuanzhang for being able to attract such food crops.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang extremely embarrassed.
This thing was not his at all.
After stealing Fifth Brother's things, he couldn't go against his conscience and fish for fame.
Zhu Biao secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Without his father's permission, Zhu Biao did not dare to tell the ministers about this matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang cleared his throat and said.
"Beloved ministers, calm down. Listen to me."
"We didn't plant these sweet potatoes. It was planted by our fifth brother."
As soon as he said that, the hall immediately became a mess of discussion.
"What is it? This was actually planted by Prince Zhou.”
"Amazing, Your Highness Zhou Wang is amazing."
"Prince Zhou is usually unrestrained, but I didn't expect that he would grow such a rare thing.”
"Such delicious sweet potatoes can solve my urgent need.”
Everyone praised.
Who would have thought that Prince Zhou, who had always been mischievous, could actually grow such delicious food?
This could be considered a great contributor to Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone praising his son, and his face was especially radiant.
Old Fifth was often discussed by these old officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang, as her father, could not shut her mouth.
Today, he had hung out the sweet potatoes in the imperial court to let everyone see that his Zhu family did not have cowards.
Now that he saw the reactions of the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang felt particularly comfortable.
"My dear ministers, this is not only sweet and delicious, but it is also very high-yield. According to my estimation, one Mu of land would at least weigh five to six thousand Jin.”
These words shocked everyone again.
During the Ming Dynasty, the highest grain production was less than a thousand.
And this sweet potato could actually produce five to six thousand catties per mu. This was simply unheard of.
The ministers could not close their mouths.
………
Mobei.
Great General Blue Jade's five thousand elite cavalry arrived a few days late.
At this moment, the army had just arrived, and Great General Lan Yu was ordering the soldiers to set up camp.
Although the soldiers had traveled a long distance, they were still in order under military orders.
Each of them had their own duties.
Seeing this, Great General Lan Yu was very satisfied.
The sun was setting in the west, and the scenery of the desert was beautiful.
Great General Blue Jade was not in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery, but he was troubled.
They were new to the desert and were unfamiliar with the terrain.
According to the scouts, Wang Baobao's army was nearby.
However, the nomads were good at riding and archery. Sometimes, they had no fixed residence and were unpredictable. This was the most terrifying thing.
General Lan Yu was no stranger to Wang Baobao.
He had heard of his name for a long time, and it could be said that it was like thunder in his ears.
This person's name often hung in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
Even a victorious general was not enough to describe him.
Lan Yu also felt a lot of pressure this time.
"General. The camp has been set up. What orders do you have, General?”
Geng Bingwen walked over and asked with concern.
Since they had set up camp, they would definitely start a fire to cook.
In order to rush the journey, these soldiers had already traveled through the night and had not eaten for an entire day.
Even the iron man couldn't take it.
"Start a fire to cook."
Lan Yu ordered.
Not long after.
Smoke rose from the chimneys on the grassland.
After a long journey, the soldiers wolfed down the food they had prepared.
After they finished eating, they went to rest under the orders of General Lan Yu.
At this moment, the moon was already high above the willow branches.
The night was exceptionally quiet.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night.
The number of fresh flowers was now 2901. He was still short of 1100 fresh flowers. I beg all readers to feed me all kinds of data. Flowers, reviews, monthly votes, tips, if it really doesn't work, you can also press a paw print in the comments section.
