Potatoes are cold-resistant and drought-resistant crops, and it is most suitable to plant them in the Yunchuan Mountains. Plain areas can be left for rice and wheat.

When Zhu Youlang heard the good news, he immediately asked Wen Anzhi to take him to see it.

This is the first time Wen Anzhi has seen His Majesty so impatient, thinking that this potato is really as magical as His Majesty said?

But Wen Anzhi brought the emperor to the mansion in the city and explained with a smile: "It's important, so I tried to plant the potatoes in the small vegetable garden in my backyard. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

Zhu Youlang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Wenqing, take me to take a look."

This is the potato that solves the problem of eating hundreds or millions of people. Zhu Youlang can no longer suppress his excitement.

The king and his minister looked at each other and walked into the yard one after another.

Wen Anzhi himself was a clear stream and did not pursue much material things, so when the emperor asked him to choose the mansion in Shuzhong, Wen Anzhi chose a not very prominent one.

The house was not big, only two places, and there was no money to renovate it. He just asked the servant to clean it up and then settle it in.

In Wen Anzhi's own words, state affairs are now difficult, so it is a little bit easier.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, he should be an example for all officials.

Zhu Youlang was naturally extremely moved by this.

Wen Anzhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, was really the most shabby, but he didn't care at all and only took the interests of the Ming Dynasty to heart.

The two walked through the courtyard and came to the backyard soon.

Wen Anzhi pointed to a vegetable and said, "Your Majesty, potatoes are planted here. It's just a few days later, but there is still no movement."

Zhu Youlang walked over and said aloud: "Get a knife."

Although Wen Anzhi didn't know what the emperor was going to do, he still ordered his servant to take a knife.

Zhu Youlang took the knife and flipped the soil according to the position Wen Anzhi said, and really found some potatoes.

Seeing that there were some complete potatoes, Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "Potatoes are not grown like this, they need to be sliced."

"slice?"

Wen Anzhi widened his eyes and asked, "How to cut it?"

Zhu Youlang explained while cutting the potatoes in his hand into large slices: "It is easy to grow well only by cutting them into slices and then planting them."

Wen Anzhi suddenly realized that no wonder he didn't respond after planting potatoes. It turned out that the method was wrong.

But where did Your Majesty know about the method of planting potato slices?

"Wenqing, I'll ask you, how many potatoes are there?"

"There are dozens more, and the rest of the old ministers have eaten it. Not to mention that the potatoes have a very good taste, they are quite doughy."

“…”

Zhu Youlang was so excited that he couldn't cry when he heard this.

A lot of such a good thing was eaten by Wen Anzhi.

But since this is already the case, there is no way to cultivate the remaining potatoes.

Potatoes reproduce very quickly. After planting a batch, they can be sliced ​​and then planted.

But this may require some time, and in addition, it is still not possible to become popular in Sichuan and Yunnan for less than two or three years.

"After this batch of potatoes is planted, Wenqing can continue to plant them in slices according to my method. I can guarantee that as long as the potatoes are planted on a large scale, they can solve the food problem of our army in one fell swoop."

Wen Anzhi was suspicious and said, "Can your majesty replace food? The old minister has tasted this potato and it is really good to eat it, but will there be any problem as food?"

Zhu Youlang swears: "Don't worry, people in Thailand use potatoes as their staple food."

Zhu Youlang was not used to using potatoes as a staple food when he was studying in Europe, but over time he adapted to European eating habits.

To some extent, potatoes are very suitable as a staple food.

If you have a large amount of food, you will feel full and feel full. If you eat it, you won’t be hungry easily. No wonder Europeans like to eat it.

On the contrary, in Asia, people like to make potatoes into dishes.

What are shredded potatoes, potato chips, shredded potatoes...

This is a problem with both parties' eating habits, and it is not easy to change them.

But filling your stomach is the most important thing in this era.

People even chew on the bark of trees when they are hungry. What's wrong with eating some potatoes?

What a pity, it would be great if Zhu Youlang mastered the hybrid rice technology.

He chatted with Wen Anzhi again. Wen Anzhi finally believed in the strength of potatoes and ensured that as many potatoes as possible were cultivated as soon as possible for promotion.

Zhu Youlang was very relieved when Wen Anzhi did things, especially in his internal affairs.

With him staring at potatoes, Zhu Youlang didn't have to worry anymore.

"Sweet potatoes and corn have to continue looking for them, and you can't stop."

Finding potatoes gives Zhu Youlang full of confidence.

With all the potatoes, will the sweet potato and corn be far away?

I want all the multiple-choice questions when children only do multiple-choice questions!

"Well, this minister will take some time."

Seeing that the emperor was so excited, Wen Anzhi had to pour a basin of cold water first.

Otherwise, if the sweet potato and corn cannot be found by the time, wouldn’t the emperor be very disappointed?

"Well, take your time and you can always find it if you keep searching."

After a moment of pause, Zhu Youlang suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Wenqing, if I remember correctly, tomorrow will be your birthday, right?"

Wen Anzhi was moved and said, "I am worried about your Majesty, and the old minister is ashamed of him."

"Wenqing is talking about this? Even if I forget anyone's birthday, I can't forget Wenqing. Let's do this. Wenqing will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and I will personally celebrate your birthday!"

Seeing this, Wen Anzhi had to respond.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Actually, he doesn't want to be too extravagant.

But he could not refuse the emperor's appearance.

In Zhu Youlang's opinion, famous ministers like Wen Anzhi are hard to come by.

He wanted to celebrate Wen Anzhi's birthday in the palace not to make a political show, but to be really grateful to Wen Anzhi for his contributions over the years.

An old man in his seventies should have enjoyed the joy of a family of children and grandchildren at home, but he stood up without hesitation when the Ming Dynasty needed him the most.

This kind of mind and responsibility are not something that everyone has.

Not to mention Wen Anzhi's ability.

In recent years, the commander of Sichuan has brought together the Laochuan Army, the former Daxi Army and the Dashun Army.

How could it be easily achieved without strong abilities and personal charm?

Zhu Youlang asked himself that he wouldn't have done anything better if he had done it.

Zhu Youlang celebrated Wen Anzhi's birthday, one was to compensate him for his efforts over the years, and the other was to tell the people of the world that as long as they were loyal ministers who were dedicated to national affairs, the court would not forget them.

This also encourages people to stand up bravely and fight for their country and the world.

One Wen'anzhi may not be enough to change anything, but what about ten Wen'anzhi? What about one hundred?

The Ming Dynasty is developing in a positive direction. As long as he is given a few years, Zhu Youlang will have the confidence to bring the Ming Dynasty back to its original position!
