Ye Xuan had his own judgment and ideas, but he still praised Xu Guangqi's ideas and praised him for being kind.

"I have written "Sweet Potato Shu"... Where the sweet potato is located, the people who live are the food for half a year..."

Uncle, and he is still a dear uncle?

Ye Xuan blinked his eyes, and suddenly his eyes flashed, he raised his hand to interrupt Xu Guangqi, and asked anxiously: "Why haven't I seen Xu Aiqing's "Sweet Potato Sauce"? In addition, where did this sweet potato come from and what does it look like?"

Xu Guangqi bowed and replied: "The Sweet Potato Shu" was written by my ministers when he was idle in Tianjin in the 41st year of Wanli. He also wrote "The Turnip Shu", "Yiken Ling", "Draft Agricultural Books", etc. As for sweet potatoes, they flowed from overseas and were planted before Minyue..."

Sweet potatoes are definitely sweet potatoes.

Ye Xuan was so excited, roasted sweet potatoes, French fries... Well, these are all trivial matters. The most important thing is to save the country and the people, and the actual significance is even greater than that of muskets and cannons.

Perhaps it was a bit exaggerated, but if the Ming Dynasty had promoted the planting of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, the disasters caused by the Little Ice Age and the direction of history would definitely change.

Seeing the young emperor excited, Xu Guangqi rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in front of the imperial throne, and couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly, which was a little funny.

Ye Xuan stopped and his eyes were firm, "Next spring, yes, we will promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes in Ganzhou, Henan, Shanxi, and Zhili. I will issue an order to supervise and promote the implementation of officials in various places and not be perfunctory and slack. If the standards are not met, severe punishment will be made."

"Your Majesty—" Xu Guangqi hurriedly stood up and said, "It seems inappropriate to issue an order directly, but it is better to submit it to the court for discussion."

Ye Xuan frowned, not wanting to argue with Xu Guangqi, and asked instead: "Xu Aiqing, do you know that the potato crop is also grown in the soil, which is more similar to sweet potatoes and tastes a lot."

Xu Guangqi thought about it and replied uncertainly: "I remember that in the "Chang'an Ke Talk" written by Jiang Yikui, a Jinshi in the Wanli period, it seems that the earth potatoes are mentioned. I wonder if they are the same as what Your Majesty said?"

Land potatoes? Potatoes?

Ye Xuan was not sure. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Liu Ruoyu had a strange expression and seemed to have something to say, so he reached out and pointed, "If you have something to say, I won't blame him."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed and said, "I seem to have heard of potatoes, and it seems to be planted in Shanglin Garden. The emperor can order people to take them to see and taste them."

Potatoes, also known as potatoes, were introduced to Middle Earth in the late Ming Dynasty. Due to their special and rare varieties, only high-ranking officials and nobles could enjoy them, and the people would definitely not be able to eat them.

In the Ming Dynasty, Shanglinyuan had "vegetable households" specializing in vegetable cultivation, which had certain technical advantages in screening and cultivating potatoes.

But after all, it is an institution serving the palace. It will not plant potatoes on a large scale, nor will it be possible to introduce potato seeds and planting skills to the people.

It was not until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that wars led to the abandonment of Shanglin Garden and those "vegetable households" were left among the people, and potato planting technology gradually spread.

Haha, it turns out that potatoes are planted in our own garden, so why are you looking for? This is too easy to find.

Ye Xuan turned his eyes to Xu Guangqi and said with a smile: "Shanglinyuan has been changed to a new crop test site, which is under the guidance of Xu Aiqing. In addition, Xu Aiqing does not have to go to Tianjin, and he will rest in Beijing with peace of mind, and write a good report on the strategies for enriching the country, strengthening the army and safeguarding the people. There are also many talents you are optimistic about, and they will also recommend them."

Xu Guangqi looked at the face of the young emperor and knew that things had turned around and that his ideals and ambitions were already very likely to be realized. He was relieved and bowed down.

Seeing Xu Guangqi retreating, Ye Xuan was still excited and sat on the imperial throne with a smile, looking forward to the leisurely thoughts.

The civil unrest in the late Ming Dynasty was ultimately a "food".

To put it more simply, who is full and risking his head to rebel?

If you have enough food and clothing, if others advise you to rebel, you will definitely slap in your mouth. You are sick and full of food. You want to harm me!

Even if you take a step back, it is not just about having enough food and clothing, but about having a mouthful of sweet potato porridge. I guess not many people are carrying rakes and hoes to fight with the officers and soldiers.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are very drought-resistant and have a terrible yield. Compared with the wheat that was mainly grown in the north at that time, it was more than several times higher.

Foreign crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. were all introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. Do you think it was the Ming Dynasty?

Unfortunately, no one pays attention to it and no one urges to promote planting, which makes the bran cheaper, creating a prosperous era of eating sweet potatoes and eating potatoes and drinking porridge.

Sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

Ye Xuan seemed to smell the seductive fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes in his nose, and a silly smile appeared on his face.

"Emperor, Emperor--" Liu Ruoyu took the list of officials of the Ministry of Personnel from the young eunuch. Judging from the emperor's condition, he was a little confused whether he should interrupt the emperor's daydream.

Ah, ah! Ye Xuan woke up slowly and subconsciously wiped his mouth, yeah, no Liuha!

"Emperor, the list of officials of the Ministry of Personnel has been sorted out, look--"

The Ministry of War has read it, it’s meaningless; the Ministry of War has brought it, so let’s just listen!

After receiving the emperor's approval, Liu Ruoyu began to read out the list of officials from the Ministry of Personnel in order from large to small.

Zhao Nanxing is nothing; he doesn't know anyone; he doesn't remember that minister...

Ye Xuan was very bored and quite disappointed, so he opened his mouth and yawned.

Liu Ruoyu looked at the young emperor's state and felt bored when he recited it, and his voice became lower.

"…Ji Xun's doctor Sun Chuanting, Zhang Chou, the chief officer..."

"Wait." The young emperor with a bored and sleepy face suddenly sat up straight, his eyes widened, and pointed at Liu Ruoyu, "I just read it again, but I didn't hear it clearly."

"Yes." Liu Ruoyu agreed and repeated: "Zhang Chouwei, the chief officer."

"Not this, the previous one, the last one, the surname Sun." The young emperor frowned.

Liu Ruoyu looked carefully and recited again: "Ji Xun's doctor Sun Chuanting..."

"Sun Chuanting, it's Sun Chuanting. I thought I was wronged, so why did I go to the Ministry of Personnel?" The young emperor raised his hand and stopped Liu Ruoyu and muttered.

Liu Ruoyu didn't understand why, so he saw the emperor take out his small notebook, pick up the pen and write something in front of him, and smile on his face.

"I want to see Sun Chuanting's resume and send it as soon as possible." Ye Xuan finished writing and looked up and ordered.

This trick works so well!

Ye Xuan must have laughed, and he laughed to his heart.

Even if time travelers know that many powerful people are powerful, they still have problems if they have to remember them all at once and send someone to find them.

No one is a computer, he can remember the age and resume of those powerful people, and even the specific year, month and day of historical events.
