Zhu An attached great importance to Yao Guangxiao and even had the idea to kidnap the person directly.

However, Yao Guangxiao has been in Zhu Di's territory for a long time and is a little difficult to deal with.

Why do you need a talent like Yao Guangxiao to fight to the death in the Ming Dynasty? It would be better if he went overseas?

If Zhu An could take such a skill to cause trouble overseas, he would definitely achieve a foundation.

"Yao Guangxiao?" Zhu Yuanzhang wrinkled slightly, with some impression, and after careful recollection, he remembered it.

That was the eighth year of Hongwu. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to find a group of monks, including Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not have a very good impression of this monk. A good monk did not read the scriptures, but instead studied Confucianism and Taoism.

He looked like he was not a serious monk, but Yao Guangxiao had a good reputation at that time, so Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a monk's robe and ignored him.

"Let's see, that monk's six senses are not pure, why did he be attracted by you, Dasun?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu An didn't hide it and said directly: "Yao Guangxiao is a monk, but the master he worships is a Taoist priest, and he also studied the Yin-Yang family. He can be said to be a capable minister in troubled times."

Hearing the four words "a capable minister" in troubled times, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

The Ming Dynasty is now in good condition, but it is better to kill such monks in troubled times.

I turned around and asked the Jinyiwei to check where Yao Guangxiao had gone, so he must not let him run away.

Dasun said this, so there must be nothing wrong with it.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed in his grandson's vision, and it didn't matter if a monk killed the wrong one.

"This monk is not a good thing in the Ming Dynasty. If he is put overseas, he can take revenge." Zhu An said with some sigh.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the word overseas, he frowned slightly, banning the national policy he had set.

Nowadays, no one in the court dares to talk about opening the sea.

Just listening to this, Dasun seemed to be very interested in overseas.

This is not good. After the Ming Dynasty gave it to Dasun in the future, it turned around and opened the sea. That would be bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely disgusted with Kaihai.

The reason why the sea is banned and the inch of the board is not allowed to go into the sea is affected by many factors.

One of them is the Japanese pirates.

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, Japanese pirates moved around the southeast coast and became a great bandit. At this time, the Japanese pirates had a very single structure, and they were all Japanese.

When the Yuan Dynasty was the strongest, its vassal states reached a thousand, but only Japan was dissatisfied. So Kublai Khan launched a large army to expedition Japan twice, but both encountered a typhoon, resulting in failure.

The Japanese were ecstatic and thought they were blessed by gods, and no one was afraid of them.

The losers of domestic struggle, ronin and low-level warriors, often lead their subordinates or gangs to run to the coast, wantonly plundering the coastal areas, causing great losses to the production and life of the coastal people.

Even if the dynasty has changed and the world has been replaced by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Japanese pirates don’t care and do whatever they want.

The Ming army will fight when it comes, but it cannot be defeated and fled overseas. When the Ming army retreats, or continue to grab it in another place. With such a long coastline, I don’t believe that the Ming army can defend it.

What's more serious is that at this time, local pirates and smuggling merchants also joined the gang of Japanese pirates, or pretended to rob passing ships and coastal people.

They were the Ming people after changing their clothes, and it was difficult to identify that they had another layer of identity, so the Japanese pirates were always destroyed, which brought great burden to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's direct ban on the sea did have a very strong effect on cutting off Japanese pirates.

Moreover, the maritime ban can also prevent the development of merchants and control all civilians on the land of the Ming Dynasty, achieving the effect of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

Now that the establishment of the early Ming Dynasty is in its early Ming Dynasty, it actually has a certain positive effect at present.

Due to historical limitations, there was the example of Kublai Khan, and Zhu Yuanzhang even listed Japan as a country that did not conquer, so as not to avoid future generations from becoming more powerful and influencing the foundation of the country.

"What's good about this overseas? I don't have any good items in the Ming Dynasty. I have to go overseas." Zhu Yuanzhang's tone at this moment was already a bit scolding.

When Zhu An heard this, he did not refute it immediately, but instead looked a little struggling.

After pondering for a moment, I sighed slightly in my heart, and then said:

"There is a thing overseas called potato, also known as potato. It has a mild nature and sweet taste. It is the same as rice. It can be a staple food or a dish."

"In terms of nutrition, it is more hungry than rice."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the yield of this potato can reach at least a thousand kilograms per mu, and the land requirements are extremely low."

"Even if it is wasteland, it can be planted. If it is fertile land, the yield per mu can even reach 2,000 kilograms."

Zhu An's voice was a little low, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, it was like thunder and thunder.

"Da Sun, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what a thousand pounds per acre means? You can't joke with us."

"This is a matter of the survival of all the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very excited and subconsciously, he did not believe Dasun's statement.

How can there be such high-yield food in this world? If there is one, wouldn’t all the people in this world be full?

If there is really, wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty be passed down for generations?

If everyone can have enough food, who will rebel?

How could Zhu Yuanzhang rebel if he had a bite of food?

Seeing the old man’s reaction, Zhu An was not too surprised. After all, a thousand pounds per mu is almost a fantasy for people at this time.

At present, the yield of rice and rice is about two or three hundred kilograms per mu, which is the largest fertile land, at most only four or five hundred kilograms.

Suddenly I heard that there is something that can be used as food, and wasteland can produce a thousand kilograms per mu, and fertile land can reach two thousand kilograms. How could I not be surprised, shocked, or believe it?

"No, we all know the countries in the Western Regions, and we all know about them. There is no crop like Dasun."

After Zhu Yuanzhang was excited, he thought about it carefully and immediately noticed the problem.

If the Western Regions had such crops, they would have been snatched by the Ming Dynasty, or even during the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, how could there be no news?

When he came to his senses, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu An with a strange look.

Could it be that Dasun wants to trick us into opening the sea?

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed. Such false lies could be seen at a glance. How could the shrewd grandson, who had been in the past, have made such a confused mistake?

"That's because this thing is not in the Western Regions, but in a more distant place."

"From Japan as its starting point, it has been voyage to the East China Sea for nearly October, and there is a land where potatoes are here."

Zhu An said calmly, and did not argue with Zhu Yuanzhang because of his disbelief.

At present, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, it was in the mid-14th century. It was not until the mid-16th century that potatoes were brought from South America to Europe by Spanish colonists.

The earliest potato flowers were beautiful and were used as decorations. It was the time when an agronomist of the Valois dynasty discovered that this thing was edible and began to grow it on a large scale.

In the 17th century, potatoes became an important food crop in Europe and had spread to the late Ming Dynasty.

Now, there are still more than two hundred years before potatoes are discovered and valued. How could Zhu Yuanzhang have heard of them?

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the big grandson's words look serious, he asked suspiciously: "Since this thing is so far away, how did you know, Dasun?"
