As it turned out, Du Lifeng was even less courageous than Liu Mingqi imagined. After the spanking, he was so frightened that he cried again: "UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuI'm sorry, Your HighnessI, II really deserve to dieI don't want to either" of¡¡"
"Porphyrin!"
As he spoke, the second fart came out again.
Now Liu Mingqi gained experience and quickly stepped aside.
After a while, he stepped forward and kicked Du Lifeng, who couldn't stop crying, "Okay, okay, I won't kill you, and I won't drive you away Get up and talk!"
Du Lifeng raised his head, his face covered with snot and tears, but he couldn't hide his surprise: "Your Highness, are you telling the truth?"
"Nonsense!"
"Porphyrin!"
The third one!
After the young man dodged away, he even laughed, "Hey Du Lifeng, why do you love spanking so much? Do you have a bad stomach?"
"No, I don't dare to eat more." When Du Lifeng saw Liu Mingqi smiling, he was no longer so nervous, and explained a little more: "But I still can't stop my habit of spanking They just Because of this, everyone ignores me!"
Liu Mingqi suddenly had an idea at this time: "You were crying here just now, wasn't it because you couldn't help spanking at the banquet and was scolded?"
Du Lifeng nodded quickly: "Yes, Your Highness, I An adult came over and scolded me, saying that I was disrespectful and told me to get out But I didn't dare to go back alone, so I could only follow a few people. Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll be here before we know it.¡±
Liu Mingqi asked: "Is this problem of yours innate?"
"No." Du Lifeng said a little embarrassed, "Everyone in our place is like this."
"Is this all the case?"
The young man was happy. I had never heard that spanking could be contagious.
Du Lifeng explained: "It didn't exist before. But thirty years ago, after a huge disaster, we couldn't find anything to eat, but we accidentally discovered that the ground on a desert island was covered with pumpkins. It's delicious when eaten or grilled, and it can satisfy hunger.
??And pumpkins are very easy to grow. They can grow by themselves after being buried in the ground. The yield is very large, enough for all of us to eat. Because of this, we survived such a great famine.
Since then, pumpkin, a divine gift from God, has become our most important food. But it has a small disadvantage, that is, it will spank if it eats too much, and it can't be beaten even if it wants to, or it can't be endured. "
Wait a minute!
The boy¡¯s expression changed!
Because the more he listened, the more he felt that this pumpkin seemed like a food he was very familiar with.
He asked with a trembling voice: "You mean, the reason why you like spanking now is because of pumpkins? Can pumpkins be brought to such a far place and then still eaten?"
"sure!"
Du Lifeng nodded and said with some pride: "We dried the pumpkin and it can be stored for a long time. I first wrapped the dried pumpkin tightly in a bag, then put it in a box, and covered the bag with volcanic ash. Bury it. When you bring it to the capital, it will still be dry when you take it out.
Next, I only dry the remaining pumpkins from time to time when the sun is strong, and I can eat them for at least a year! And the next year, my father will definitely send his guards on a merchant ship to bring me new dried pumpkins! "
Oh my God!
Liu Mingqi felt that his heart was trembling. He forced himself not to get excited: "Xiao Du, are you carrying a pumpkin with you now?"
"Yes." Du Lifeng said embarrassedly: "Actually just nowjust before the banquet, I hadn't eaten for a long time, so I ate a few pieces, and ended up getting spanked"
"Take it out and let me see." The young man quickly stretched out his hand, "Hurry!"
" Du Lifeng didn't notice that Liu Mingqi's voice had changed. He was very happy, as if His Highness was very interested in Jinguagan.
So he took out a cloth bag from his arms and just wanted to give it to Liu Mingqi, but Liu Mingqi snatched it away.
After Liu Mingqi opened it, he grabbed several yellow and red things from inside, looked at the moon, and threw them into his mouth without thinking.
"Your Highness"
Du Lifeng was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to stop him.
He didn¡¯t know if the nobles of the country would be fine if they ate it.
Since he knew that eating pumpkin would make people spank constantly, even if he brought dried pumpkin, he would only dare to stay at homeThe disaster forced the emperor to not only use his internal treasury money again, but also rely on increasing the share of salt imports from salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to tide over the difficulties.
¡°If disasters like this year happen two or three more times, I¡¯m afraid the problem will be big.
With sweet potatoes, the most basic problem of eating is solved, and any problem is no longer urgent.
Chewing the dried sweet potatoes and feeling the sweetness of the starch inside, Liu Mingqi thought a lot.
It wasn¡¯t until Du Lifeng kept calling him softly that the young man woke up.
Looking at this dark and thin Prince of Cebu, Liu Mingqi¡¯s eyes were shining.
"Your Highness" Du Lifeng felt a little scared, "Youare you okay? Your stomach doesn't hurt?"
"No, no, no, where does it hurt? Very good, very good! I'm fine!"
Liu Mingqi reached out directly and patted his shoulder: "Xiao Du, how many of your reddried pumpkins do you have at home?"
"Your Highness likes it?" Du Lifeng became happy again, "Every year my father sends three to five hundred catties. If you like it, I will ask him to send another thousand catties!"
"No, no, no, let's talk about this matter slowly." Liu Mingqi pulled him, "Come, tell me again, how did this pumpkin come from? And the cultivation situation there, including decades ago Tell me about all the disasters!"
" Du Lifeng didn't know what was going on, but it was undoubtedly a great honor for him to have His Majesty the Highness of the Kingdom be interested in the golden melons of his small country.
So he still told the facts he knew very honestly.
Liu Mingqi listened attentively and asked him a few questions from time to time. This made Du Lifeng feel that he was taken seriously and he spoke more carefully.
However, the boy never heard the exact source of the pumpkin.
People in Cebu don¡¯t even know it.
¡°And Du Lifeng also said that no blond and blue-eyed people have ever come to Cebu, let alone been attacked by iron ships and cannons.
Now because they are too poor, there is no one to bully them.
This is different from the history of another world that Liu Mingqi knew.
In another world, after Columbus discovered the American continent, the Spaniards brought sweet potatoes from the American continent. The first stop was also the Philippines. There is evidence for this.
But the sweet potatoes in this world are like falling from the sky.
But it doesn¡¯t matter.
As long as you are sure that this is a sweet potato, you don¡¯t need to worry about anything before.
Introducing sweet potatoes as soon as possible, so that sweet potatoes can become a major boost for the steady progress of the Kang Dynasty, is what Liu Mingqi should do most at the moment.
¡¡
Note: There are some examples of birds eating seeds or small pieces of rhizome, but not digesting them, and then excreted them when passing by the island, which happened to fall on the ground and take root. There are some examples of this.
As for the distance from South America to Southeast Asia, that shouldn¡¯t be a problem.
During the recent epidemic, wasn¡¯t there news reports that a homing pigeon traveled directly from the United States across the Pacific to Australia?
