Sweet potatoes and potatoes are native to America, and we did not have them in the Ming Dynasty at all. Later, they were taken to the Ming Dynasty by missionaries.

I have planted it in Jiangnan and Fujian. Because the planting method is wrong, the yield is very low and it was later eliminated.

In the past, Zhu Youjian sent sweet potato seeds to the Ministry of Revenue, but all of them were buried underground by farmers, and the potatoes grew a few.

However, when the sweet potato grows up, the old roots are rotten, and there is still only one new one, and it is not as big as the seeds, which is a disaster for the people.

They had a shadow in their hearts and never wanted to see sweet potatoes and potatoes again.

More than 20,000 people, after so many days, they don’t count their wages, and even if they eat, they still eat a lot of money. I thought that building this greenhouse was to grow wheat.

As a result, I saw a pile of sweet potatoes and potato seeds again. Many people began to feel depressed, like deflated balls, not even trying to move.

Zhu Youjian could understand their ideas. He had been growing rice and wheat for thousands of years, and new agricultural products were difficult for them to accept, and they had failed to plant them.

Whether these people want to do so or not, sweet potatoes must be planted, and no one can stop them.

"Don't be discouraged, letting you work is a wage. You just need to do it according to my requirements. Whether you have gained or not has nothing to do with you.

Take action quickly, reduce the sweet potato vines according to this method, and then insert them half a foot on the ridge of the field.

Ditches should be digging out in the fields where potatoes are planted, and then bury the place where the potatoes sprout upwards, and hold on to it."

As a modern time traveler, Zhu Youjian certainly knows how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

He personally demonstrated to everyone and asked everyone to do what he had just done.

People who had no motivation at first thought about their daily wages, so they no longer thought about it and started working immediately.

The soldiers were very motivated. They didn't understand any great principles and only knew how to serve the country.

The court not only increased military pay for them, but also gave them wives. How can they be worthy of their hungry conscience if they don’t do it well?

With everyone's joint efforts, it took a whole day and 50,000 mu was finally planted by everyone.

In addition, some chili seedlings were planted in the greenhouse edge areas. These chili seedlings were also given by the system, and Zhu Youjian did not redeem them with points.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have been planted, but the work is not over yet.

Because the growth cycle of sweet potatoes requires temperature coordination, the weather is too cold, and the greenhouse temperature is only five to six degrees, which is not suitable for the rapid growth of sweet potatoes.

In order to allow sweet potatoes to grow rapidly, dozens of coal stoves are placed in each greenhouse, the temperature must be kept above 15 degrees, and ventilation openings must be left.

It doesn’t matter if potatoes are the temperature in the greenhouse just fits its growth, so there is no need to heat up, so you almost don’t have to worry about it. You can just collect potatoes at that time.

Sweet potatoes cannot be as simple as potatoes. Because of the temperature, a dedicated person must be taken care of the coal stove and watered a little water at the beginning.

After everything was over, Zhu Youjian called Ni Yuanlu again:

"Shangshu Ni, the Ming Dynasty is in the Little Ice Age, with snowstorms in winter and droughts in summer. I will give you a task. When the ice and snow melt, build dams in the gullies next to the farmland to intercept the snow melted snow water for summer irrigation. You cannot let these water sources flow away in vain."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured. When the permafrost melts, the Ministry of Revenue will immediately start building the embankment."

Ni Yuanlu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After explaining to Ni Yuanlu, Zhu Youjian also called Huang Degong:

"General Huang, there are five military soldiers guards in each sweet potato greenhouse. They are mainly responsible for changing coal balls. When the soil is dry and cracked, it doesn't require too much. If there is not enough manpower, you can send some additional military soldiers. We will collect sweet potatoes in a month."

"Sir, we must strictly follow your requirements, so don't worry."

A big stone in my heart can finally be put down. Zhu Youjian was not worried about the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes. The yield of seeds that were exchanged at such a high price will definitely not be low.

As soon as he returned to the Ganqing Palace, Qinglong asked for a visit with a note:

"Your Majesty, I just received a letter from Shengjing Feige."

"Flying pigeons pass the letter? Come and read it."

"Abide by the order"

Qinglong immediately handed Zhu Youjian a note he had just received. He opened it and saw that it was written by Yue Fei:

"Your Majesty, 132 aliens in the northern region have invaded and have been killed. The remaining 500 people are in a stronghold 200 miles north of Heilongjiang. I have ordered people to clear them all, and I will report to the emperor."

After reading Yue Fei's letter, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha... Yue Fei is worthy of being Yue Fei. Although he didn't know that there was a country like the Russians, he would not allow anyone to illegally step into our Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would have to perish himself."

Qinglong was confused by Zhu Youjian and asked hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, what an old Russian? Does anyone dare to take the initiative to offend my Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"Of course there is a barbaric nation in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty."

Qinglong was also furious:

"Your Majesty, give Qinglong an imperial edict, I will kill their leader."

"No, they are too far from my Ming Dynasty. Now it's snowing again. It may take two months for you to arrive. Don't worry, I will make them tremble all over when they think of the Ming Dynasty."

Qinglong hurriedly bowed and smiled:

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Qinglong, please reply to Yue Fei immediately, send someone to drop the Russian stronghold, cut off their heads and build them into Jingguan on the spot."

"Abide by the order"

Qinglong withdrew from the Ganqing Palace after receiving the order.

Thinking of Yue Fei, Zhu Youjian thought of the batch of gold, silver and treasures collected from Shengjing.

Now not only is the national treasury abundant, but his personal treasury is also full of money.

War points are used to exchange things from the system, and the gold and silver have never been moved at all.

Now the system warehouse has reached 20 million taels of silver, more than one million taels of gold, and a lot of other jewelry.

These gold, silver and treasures were searched from corrupt officials and eight royal merchants, and some of them were filial to Zhu Dadian during Fengyang.

Although some use is used to defend the capital and provide disaster relief, there are still more than 20 million taels.

The gold, silver and treasures pulled back from the Mongol Yuan and Shengjing are now placed in the treasury, and are under the supervision of Wang Chengen.

The system warehouse has not yet been included in the system, and it has been put into the treasury by Zhu Youjian.

He didn't want to put all the valuable things into the system warehouse. If the system disappeared one day, wouldn't he accompany his wife and then leave his troops?

Although the treasury has a lot of money, it will be paid military salaries and disaster relief in the coming year.

The Ministry of Industry also needs a lot of money to develop new weapons and develop naval ships, and it is estimated that there will be very little left soon.

Zhu Youjian also wanted to build a powerful special operations force, which was also a very expensive thing.

Let’s go to the treasury to see. The royal chamber of commerce has not yet reported the income of this year, and the money will also flow into the treasury.

"Come here, I'll tell you that Wang Cheng'en will meet me!"

"Abide by the order"

Soon Wang Cheng'en arrived in a hurry. The emperor hadn't summoned him for a long time. The old eunuch thought that the emperor had forgotten him.

"See your majesty."

When Lao Wang came in, he wanted to pay a big gift. Zhu Youjian hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Old Wang, when I see that I don't need a big gift, please take me to the treasury to see."

"Thank you, the Royal Chamber of Commerce is still counting. It will end in these two days. It is estimated that there will be more than 9 million taels of silver. Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is not short of money."

Speaking of the treasury, Lao Wang immediately smiled. In the past, the emperor's poor treasury could starve rats to death.
