Chapter 42 Potato Explosion
"I have decided, so I don't need to say anything more!"
Yang Feng said.
At this time, he was standing on the Wangyang Gate, and opposite the moat under his feet, the Minister of Welcoming the lord led by Liu Kongzhao and Wang Duo, and the 50,000 troops that came with them were kneeling there, carrying the earnest instructions of the people of Jiangnan, begging the emperor to move to Nanjing.
"I am incompetent and have killed the people. I am ashamed of the people. How can I leave again? Then Beijing was thrown away in my hands and I have to take it back in person. Otherwise, I will face the world and He Yan face the ancestors? I have escaped once, and I will not escape again. Then I will never go to Nanjing. I am here to swear to the sky that if I cannot smash the gate of Beijing with my own hands, I will not be allowed to enter the Taimiao after my death!"
Yang Feng yelled.
At the same time, in order to enhance the effect, he grabbed the giant axe standing beside him and roared and smashed it on the female wall. The huge blue bricks made of female wall instantly shattered.
There was a scream outside the city.
"If I violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning!"
Yang Feng yelled again in the screams.
Liu Kongzhao and Wang Duo kneeling outside the city were all stunned.
How can I persuade you?
He blocked all the roads. No matter what reason, he advised him again that Nanjing would be fortunate that he could not enter the Taimiao after his death. That would be a illusory intention! But if he could not take him back to Nanjing, the officials and gentry in Nanjing could not explain it to the officials and gentry in Nanjing! Everyone understands where the emperor is, where is the center of the country, and the center is not just a palace, it represents prosperity. The Ming Dynasty's central center has moved north for more than two hundred years. If you miss the opportunity to pull it back to Nanjing, it will be difficult to have a next time. The two of them lay there looking at each other with a confused look on their faces, but at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind them. They quickly raised their heads and saw a meteor-like light suddenly passing through the sky above the stone river on the left, and then a ball of light as big as a tank appeared above the river.
"I welcome Emperor Taizu Gao!"
Before they could react, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians inside and outside Shanhaiguan City knelt down and kowtowed to the ground and shouted.
Then I saw that the light ball was filled with a sudden burst of yellow-brown fruits, like waterfalls flowing down, constantly gushing out, stirring up splashes of water in the water of the stone river like hail, smashing the river surface as if it was boiling a pot. It looked so incredible and so shocking on the background of the blue sky.
"I am waiting for the gift from Emperor Taizu!"
Then more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Shanhaiguan shouted in unison.
This scene shocked the sailors from the south and screamed. They were not as prepared as the soldiers and civilians of Shanhaiguan. These soldiers who had truly felt the miracle for the first time were lying on the ground trembling, as if the yellow-brown waterfall was a dragon flying into the air. Liu Kongzhao and Wang Duo were also shocked. This supernatural scene completely subverted their imagination. However, the shouts of the soldiers and civilians of Shanhaiguan made them understand what was going on. The two were so scared that they quickly lay on the ground while kowtowing, shouting to welcome Emperor Taizu.
Of course, Emperor Taizu Gao must have not appeared.
Only the Emperor, who was like a leader of the I-Cult, opened his arms and raised his head to ask the sky, closed his eyes and stood motionless on the city wall of Shanhaiguan, facing the slightly slanted sun, as if he was full of sacred light, playing the role of communicating with the gods there.
This is the potato seed sent by Xiaoqian.
Now there are only potato seeds, and soybean seeds that she can only be sent after she recovers her vitality. As for other seeds...
That one is still working hard.
I really have to work hard. In the time and space where he was originally in, there are no corn and rice that can be directly planted. They have long been flooded by hybrids. They even have to be careful whether they are genetically modified. If you want to find the ones that can be planted, you have to go to those closed valleys and ditches, which must be quite closed, but this will take enough time. Most wheat can be planted, but the problem is that it is no longer the season for planting wheat, and only potatoes are OK, and it is not too late to plant potatoes at this time.
As for throwing stones in the river...
If you throw it directly on the ground, you can probably make mashed potatoes.
In this way, the immortal seeds given by Emperor Taizu Gao fell for five minutes, and the light ball suddenly disappeared.
"Quick, catch the immortal seed!"
Before the emperor could collect his magical powers, Wang Yongji shouted tremblingly.
Then more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians inside and outside Shanhaiguan left the emperor who was still in a state of divine descending, and rushed to Shihe. At the same time, with the orders of Liu Kongzhao and others, the 50,000 Jiangnan naval troops kneeling outside the city rushed to Shihe like crazy. These fanatical soldiers and civilians instantly flooded the surface of Shihe like a mountain torrent, fishing them in their hands one by one, and even plunged into the river to catch the immortal seeds. Soon, someone screamed excitedly and raised potatoes. The buffering of the river was very good.
Protecting these originally fragile things, there are basically few that fallen, at most some broken skins, but fortunately, this does not hinder the seeds, and you still have to cut buds. However, the water flow of the Shihe River at the landing point is very fast, so most of the potatoes are washed into the open shoals downstream, which is also planned. Otherwise, the river depth is only at this point, and the potato mountain will have been piled up long ago, but this doesn't matter. There are more than 200,000 people here to catch this thing, as long as they don't rush into the sea, it's basically impossible to escape the net.
In fact, many ordinary people really have to carry the copying network!
"Your Majesty, this thing seems to be a land bean!"
Wang Yongji said in surprise with the potato in his hand.
In fact, potatoes are not too strange among high-ranking officials and nobles at this time, especially when they are specially grown for royal families, and they are mainly in the northern part of Beijing. As the governor of Ji Liao, of course, it is impossible for him to have never seen or eaten it. Maybe he has eaten a lot of them.
"Yes, but are our land beans that big?"
Yang Feng said.
"No, that is, the size of an egg!"
Wang Yongji looked at the potatoes in his hand that were bigger than the adult fist and said with certainty.
"That's right, of course the immortal species is different!"
Yang Feng said: "If the order is sent, this is a gift from Taizu. Whoever catches it will be the one who will take it. Taking advantage of the time now, you will find a place to plant it first. I have a planting method here. You ask officials at all levels to copy it, and then everyone will guide farmers to plant it. But don't count on this. This thing is an immortal species. It is hard to say whether it can adapt to the soil quality of the world. Besides, the number is not large, so other things must be planted. Taizu will also give some other seeds in a few days. In short, the task of officials at all levels is very simple. They are to lead farmers to cultivate land and farm between Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan. I will have crops spread all over the land in a month. Tell them that I will personally inspect and watch the places during this period. If anyone dares to slack off, I will be careful to chop their heads."
"Respect the order!"
Lao Wang said quickly.
At this time, Wang Duo and Liu Kongzhao also came over with two potatoes.
"You have also brought back the soldiers who have recovered the immortal seeds and brought them to various places to try planting. They have copied a few copies of the planting methods. However, according to Taizu, this thing is suitable for cold places and may not be suitable in Jiangnan. Of course, it is not impossible to plant it, but it is definitely not staple food, that is, it is a vegetable. In the future, Taizu will give you other seeds, and I will send you some more good rice seeds. In short, it depends on Taizu's reward, and I cannot guarantee what it is. After all, Taizu has to ask the gods for it."
Yang Feng said.
"Respect the order!"
Wang Duo and the others said hurriedly.
At this time, their eyes when they looked at Yang Feng were filled with awe of the gods.
This kind of thing is seen with your own eyes, and it is completely different from the legend.
"There is one more thing. Although this thing doesn't have much nutrients, it will be able to starve to death after eating it at most. The advantage is that it will hardly be eliminated. Unless it can guarantee a harvest in the real disaster year, this also needs to be promoted everywhere. Have you heard of sweet potatoes?"
Yang Feng said.
"I have heard from Your Majesty. It is said that it came from Southeast Asia. There are many kinds of plants in Fujian and Guangdong. The taste is very sweet. As Your Majesty said, it can grow in thin mountains and thin lands."
Liu Kongzhao said.
"Yes, this is this thing. It is my will. Let the Ministry of Revenue contribute funds to purchase in Fujian and Guangdong. Then every prefecture and county in each province will give you seeds. You are responsible for this matter. You are an old minister and famous all over the world. You also know the habit of the people below. This is the good deed of Taizu's will to calm the people. Don't let the clerks make a disturbing act in the end. I will give you the Shangfang Sword. Whoever makes trouble in this matter ruined Taizu's original intention? You can kill first and then report!"
Yang Feng said.
"The old minister respects the order."
Wang Duo said.
That's all. Administrative means first to promote sweet potatoes first. Anyway, what the court could control at this time was nothing more than the southeast half of the wall. When it arrived in Huguang, it would be a war zone. Otherwise, Zuo Liangyu would not be so arrogant. He was a barrier to the flanks of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The north of the Yangtze River might not last long. The Huai River could not stop Li Zicheng nor Dorgon. What the Nanjing court could really guarantee control was the eastern and southern part of Fujian, Zhejiang, Zhili, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Lake, Guangdong, Guangdong, and Guangdong. At this time, sweet potatoes were already planted on a large scale in Fujian and Guangdong. It was already spreading to this area, and it was just artificially accelerating the spreading speed.
But you can't count on this powerful country.
It is a joke that eating sweet potatoes can make you feel strong. It’s almost the same as eating too much stomach acid. This thing is just not starving to death. The real main force is rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, potatoes, etc. He doesn’t want to create another sweet potato era.
