Chapter 299

All afternoon, outside the fertile fields outside Nanjing were densely surrounded by people with curious faces.

Even the number of people coming this time is more than several times higher than the last time when the locusts were eliminated.

Therefore, a very strange phenomenon occurs in the fertile land.

In the fertile fields, the old farmers bent down with great motivation, waved the hoes in their hands vigorously, and digged sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fields.

Around the field, there were a group of soldiers standing on guard.

Afterwards, there were dense crowds of people, all looking inside with excitement on their faces.

This grand scene lasts until the evening.

The weather is getting colder.

Zhu Zi'an planted fifty acres of sweet potatoes in the fertile fields, and more than fifty acres of potatoes and twenty acres of sweet potatoes on the wasteland of the outer processing plant. Only then did the 100-year-old farmer in Lizhuang harvest and dig it out.

"Report to the emperor that the 50 acres of sweet potatoes in the fertile fields have collected a total of 800 stones of sweet potatoes." Shi Fu shouted excitedly.

"The emperor, in the fields outside the factory, 50 acres of potatoes harvested a total of 320 stones of potatoes. In addition, 20 acres of sweet potatoes, 300 stones of sweet potatoes harvested!"

Chu Nan held a small account book in his hand and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, his eyes were always looking at Zhu Zi'an with respect.

"Okay, you have made great contributions this time!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was also full of joy.

With the magical objects such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, the Ming Dynasty will have no worries about food from then on!

"Your Majesty, do you need to announce the output to those ordinary people?"

On the side, Zhu Zi'an whispered.

“Announcement?”

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

From his memory, no official has ever taken the initiative to publish some data to the people. Although the data may be the grain output closely related to the people's lives.

Similarly, Li Shanchang, Tang He and others around were all full of surprise.

"Your Majesty, these people have been standing outside the fields for an afternoon. Although they have the ingredients to watch the fun, these people must be very eager for the yield of these sweet potatoes and potatoes. Instead of letting them make random guesses, it is better to tell them directly so that they can rest assured. Anyway, they will definitely promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes around Nanjing City in the future!"

Although he has lived in this era for more than ten years, Zhu Zi'an still retains some habits of that era when dealing with some things.

"Zi'an's words are reasonable!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

"emperor?"

Li Shanchang's expression on the side couldn't help but change. Just as he was about to stop him, Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked out.

Stop ten steps away from the crowd.

"Everyone, we are Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Looking at the pair of puzzled and longing eyes in front of us, Zhu Yuanzhang felt his heart waving and said loudly: "We know that you are all here for the potatoes and sweet potatoes behind us."

The common people looked stunned when they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We have gone from a cowherd to the point where we are today, and become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In our hearts, we still always regard ourselves as a farmer. Our greatest wish in our life is to make everyone in the world eat enough and the food jars at home are full of food throughout the year."

"Now, we can tell you loudly that our wish will be realized soon. Today, the sweet potatoes in this world can grow sixteen stones in one acre, which is as much as five times that of wheat and rice.

As for potatoes, one acre of land can produce six stone potatoes!

Today, we have digged a total of 70 acres of sweet potatoes and 1,100 stones of sweet potatoes. In addition, we have digged a total of 320 stones of potatoes in fifty acres of potatoes.”

The more he talked about it, the more comfortable Zhu Yuanzhang felt in his heart.

The sound has increased a lot.

And the people around them had their eyes glowing and their faces were full of joy.

"As long as you plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, from now on, all the people of our Ming Dynasty will not go hungry."

"Long live the emperor!" "Long live the emperor!"

Suddenly, all the common people knelt down with excitement on their faces and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang one after another.

This time, everyone saluted sincerely.

"Everyone please get up quickly. This is our duty as the emperor!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned and smiled.

This is the first time he has enjoyed this scene.

"I dare to ask the emperor, when will the farmers be allowed to start growing sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

At this time, a loud question came from the crowd.

In an instant, everyone stared at Zhu Yuanzhang tightly.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand slightly and said, "Promoting the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes is of great importance. Therefore, we are planning to start promoting it near Nanjing City. When many people will grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and prove that planting sweet potatoes and potatoes can be eaten daily, we will start from Nanjing City to the entire Ming Dynasty to promote the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"But, this matter is of great importance. We still have to discuss it in detail with a group of civil and military officials at the court meeting before posting an announcement to inform everyone!"

"The emperor is wise!" "We are the untouchables, here we thank the emperor for their kindness!"

Now, the common people shouted again with excitement.

Not to mention anything else, this is the first time that the emperor personally explained this kind of major affairs in the court.

Moreover, it is about growing sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other magical objects.

Soon, they were all immersed in ecstasy.

The emperor has a word!

In front of everyone, they said that they would promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes around Nanjing City.

Then, it will definitely start to implement.

When they think that sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted in their own fields, everyone's happy expressions can no longer control them.

"Okay, this matter is over. In addition, it's getting late, so everyone will disperse!"

Then, after the enthusiasm of the crowd dissipated, Zhu Yuanzhang said to everyone.

"yes!"

After the words came, the common people began to scatter.

Extremely obedient!

It feels quite banned.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked even more happy.

Zhu Zian, Zhu Biao and others were all full of surprise. This situation was something Zhu Zian never expected.

Especially Li Shanchang, his face was shocked.

"Congratulations to the Emperor! From now on, the Emperor has a high prestige in front of the people of the world!"

"Congratulations to the Emperor!..."

Tang He and other officials also bowed and congratulated each other.

Who would have thought that in just a few words, the emperor would directly conquer the hearts of all the people in Nanjing.

Moreover, these ordinary people still obey their own opinions.

"From now on, you must solve any matters that the people care about, and you must solve them in time and inform the people in person!"

"yes!"

All the officials saluted in unison.

Moreover, everyone's eyes were flashing, and they were obviously beginning to think.
