"Let's settle the matter like this for now. Let's order the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate money and food to Liaodong to build an immigration settlement in Liaodong. This is currently a pilot project."
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi finally made the decision and decided on the population relocation plan to develop Liaodong.
Having finished discussing the matters in Liaodong, today¡¯s business can be considered done.
There are not many things that bother Emperor Hongzhi recently.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen~"
Seeing that everyone was about to disperse, Liu Jin suddenly thought of something.
The sweet potatoes are ripe and it¡¯s time to harvest.
This is a food crop introduced from Huanghuangzhou. It was something that Liu Jin boasted could produce tens of shi per mu. It was also called auspicious by Emperor Hongzhi. Naturally, he invited everyone to come and see it and feel the harvest. joy.
"Liu Jin, what's the matter?"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly, looked at Liu Jin and asked.
"Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes brought back from Golden Continent are ripe and it's time to harvest them. I would like to invite your Majesty and the princes to go and have a look."
Liu Jin said quickly.
"The sweet potatoes are finally ripe?"
When Emperor Hongzhi and others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Corn, peppers, and tomatoes are the most sought-after items in Beijing these days. They are very expensive and everyone eats them almost every day.
The taste is still quite good.
The yield of corn is also quite good. Although the yield of tens of shi per mu has not been reached, the yield of 70 or 80 per mu is still available. Moreover, this corn is relatively drought-resistant and does not need to occupy fertile land, which is extremely critical.
In addition, the peanuts brought back from Huangjinzhou have now become a must-have dish for the rich and powerful in the capital. The more they eat, the more fragrant they are. It is said to have the effect of replenishing yang energy, and the price is also very expensive.
So everyone is also looking forward to sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they are looking forward to it bringing surprises to everyone.
"Haha, let's go, let's go, we must go and see it."
Emperor Hongzhi laughed happily.
Having several more food crops is definitely a great thing. It means that the people of Ming Dynasty can have more food to eat. From now on, they will no longer be like before, starving at every turn and unable to live at every turn.
"Yes, yes, you must go and see this. I heard that the yield of sweet potatoes is much higher than that of corn."
¡°I just don¡¯t know how Liu Jin will brag about this sweet potato this time.¡±
Zhang Mao also nodded again and again, then smiled and said.
"Haha~"
¡°He will definitely promote that these sweet potatoes have the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang, or else it can strengthen the body.¡±
Zhu Fu also laughed immediately.
"Haha~"
When everyone around heard this, they couldn't help laughing happily.
The prices of the crops brought back from Golden Continent such as peppers, tomatoes, corn, and peanuts by Liu Jin were very high, and only the rich could afford them.
In fact, everyone knows that this is just Liu Jin promoting these things and letting more people plant these crops brought back from Golden Continent.
As for the propaganda in the newspapers, they are just booing.
If you really think that eating corn can nourish yin and yang, you are really stupid.
¡°That is to say, this thing has just come out, and it was brought back from the Golden Continent. It is rare and valuable, and everyone wants to try it. By next year, this thing will be the same as other grains.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look. Liu Jin said back then that sweet potatoes can produce dozens of dan per mu. With these sweet potatoes, the people of Ming Dynasty will no longer have to go hungry."
Liu Jian also said with a smile.
"Take it away~"
Emperor Hongzhi is also in a good mood. If the food is stable, the country will be stable. As long as he can have enough to eat, who will rebel with nothing to do?
Everyone took the bus directly out of the palace, left the capital, and came to the experimental field of Tianjin Agricultural Commercial Bank located on the outskirts of the capital.
After learning the news, Mao Qi immediately asked people to prepare manpower and tools, ready for command at any time.
Liu Jin led everyone to the experimental field and introduced it to everyone as he walked.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen~"
"These are corn fields. These are corn stalks, which can be used to feed livestock. These are the fruits that grow on them., and this level is too high.
The Sixth Department is the highest department in the imperial court. It is one level lower than the Sixth Department. This level is quite high, especially for a newly established department.
But think about it, everyone has nothing to say about the importance of agriculture.
Agriculture must be taken seriously.
"How to grow this corn?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the corn and asked Liu Jin.
"Planting this corn is relatively simple. Just peel off the corn kernels and plant them into the ground one by one."
"The cultivation of sweet potatoes is even simpler, and it is very easy to survive."
¡°You only need to cut the canes of sweet potatoes and plant them in the ground, and they will survive. Therefore, sweet potatoes are very easy to promote on a large scale.¡±
Liu Jin quickly replied.
"Well, next year, bring some of these seeds to my imperial garden, and I will plant some too."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately laughed.
Looking at the experimental field in front of me, I looked up and could not see the edges at a glance. There were acres and acres of corn fields, and there were also large areas of pepper fields, tomato fields, and peanut fields next to them.
"Your Majesty, that area is the sweet potato field. I have ordered people to prepare it. The sweet potato harvest will begin soon."
Liu Jin smiled and suddenly remembered that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have to go to the fields to work and plant some land every year. It is said that this was a fine tradition left by Comrade Lao Zhu. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
