After Zhu Ying left the teahouse, she returned to the courtyard.
The teahouse in the afternoon was too noisy.
I just listen to the news occasionally, but if I listen to it often, it becomes a bit unbearable.
The waiters in the teahouse will also prick up their ears when they add water to the guests.
Basically, all the big and small things that happened in the capital will be recorded.
Zhu Ying currently leaves most of the news to Uncle Zhang to handle.
As the leader of a force, he cannot care about everything like Zhu Yuanzhang did.
Just grasp a general direction.
With some network experience in her previous life, Zhu Ying was still a little unfamiliar with current management at first. After a few years of exploration, she is already very familiar with it.
In the study room, Zhang Bohouli was standing aside.
Zhu Ying did not open the information to check, but fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about a question.
In my heart, I was very conflicted about this decision.
This idea came to me gradually after being in contact with the old man for a long time.
Over there in the Western Region.
Zhu Ying has his own secret base.
Snowflake salt is part of it.
There are also sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes that have never been spread on the market.
The reason why we can feed so many people is that there is no shortage of food.
Even if there was a large-scale famine, Zhu Ying's men were not hit, and they were able to take advantage of this opportunity to gain more power.
These things help a lot.
Whether it’s the Western Regions, deserts or grasslands.
Although money is important, the most important thing is materials and food.
Especially in winter in deserts and grasslands.
It's really like starvation everywhere.
Every winter, Zhu Ying's forces would experience a new round of expansion.
No need to go to great lengths to fight.
As long as you can keep others alive, you are a savior-level existence.
Especially those who were about to starve to death when Zhu Ying's men discovered them.
Just a mouthful of hot thick porridge is everything to them.
Not to mention, some soldiers.
Their parents, wives, children.
They were all rescued by Zhu Ying.
When a man sees his parents, wife and children about to starve to death and is helpless.
That feeling of powerlessness was too overwhelming.
Even when they were extremely hungry, their own children couldn't bear to do anything to them, so they exchanged their children with each other, resulting in the horrific scene of exchanging children for food.
When someone appears and saves everything, he is the living god in the hearts of all the saved people.
Among them, crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes play a vital role.
What's more, Zhu Ying also obtained rye from overseas merchants.
Rye is a crop that can grow in extremely barren and cold places.
The reason why Tsarist Russia in later generations was able to expand its territory from Europe all the way to the Bering Strait was due to Rye.
Wherever they went, rye was grown. Where there was food, there were people, and there were people who had control.
Although rye is not suitable for Ming Dynasty, most areas are not suitable.
But in the Western Regions, some barren areas of the desert also play a vital role.
Being able to produce food means that many people can survive.
These are the true foundations of Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying attached great importance to the concealment and protection of these crops.
In addition, nomadic people had little interest in farming, so Zhu Ying also controlled the output of these crops and did not plant them on a large scale.
When it is made into food, it has also been roughly processed and the raw materials cannot be seen.
Over the years, it has not been spread.
"Send a message to the Western Regions and ask our people to gather a batch of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn crops from there."
After a long time, Zhu Ying sighed leisurely and gave instructions to Uncle Zhang.
He didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.
Or it might cause a lot of trouble for you to found a country in Annan in the future.
It's just that he still carries the memory of his previous life with him.
Excellent graduates who have gone through the nine-year compulsory education system.
Even in this decade of Ming Dynasty, many thinkings have changed, but the bottom line in the heart is difficult to break through.
I will still remember it in the future.
A difficult one, P Plus support.
No matter how severe a natural disaster is, we can easily survive it in the face of unity.
The Ming Dynasty was the last Han dynasty.
Even on the ID cards of later generations, the word "Han" was still deeply imprinted in his heart.
When the memories are intertwined, you can watch helplessly, these ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, living in misery!
Reason told him.
If we don't do this, after many years of development in Annan, we can even replace the Ming Dynasty in our lifetime.
And provide these crops to Ming Dynasty.
The national power of the Ming Dynasty will naturally become more powerful. It would be difficult to replace the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, I added a big mountain to myself.
He knew the consequences very well.
but,
So what!
That is, he cannot replace the Ming Dynasty, his descendants, and his descendants.
After receiving your inheritance, there are always opportunities.
He firmly believed that his system would be more perfect and advanced than that of Ming Dynasty.
Pay more attention to industry and technology.
So, what else do you need to worry about.
"Master, you must not do this, these are our foundation!"
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was shocked.
Of course the leaders around Zhu Ying knew about the existence of these crops.
Hearing his boss's sudden decision, everyone was stunned and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"No need to say more, I have made up my mind. If we can establish such a large power, these crops are naturally important, but they are not everything."
"Besides, these crops are not as exaggerated as you think. There are some things you don't know. Planting them in the Ming Dynasty cannot replace rice and other crops like they did in the Western Regions."
"Especially in terms of production, there will be great restrictions."
Zhu Ying explained.
There is no detoxification technology at present, and it is easy for potato crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes to continue to suffer a decline in yield.
In areas with higher altitudes, it can be maintained slightly.
When it comes to Ming Dynasty, production reduction is inevitable.
However, even if the yield is severely reduced, the yield is still much higher than that of many current crops.
The most important ones are crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.
There will be no competition for fertile rice fields.
More wasteland can be opened up.
This is the most important thing.
Most of the farmers don't even own their own fields, and they farm the land for others.
All year round it is just a state of starvation.
There is no food surplus at home, and the slightest fluctuation will be unbearable.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are definitely the biggest surprises for the people living at the lowest level in the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that his boss was so determined, Uncle Zhang could only say helplessly: "Yes, boss."
After Zhu Ying hesitated slightly, he continued: "Bring my wooden box with you."
There were no other valuables in the wooden box. It was the only piece of cloth related to Zhu Ying's life experience.
"At this old man's age, there are a lot of people he wants to meet. When the time comes, let the old man help you take a look. Maybe you can also know the original life experience."
"If things are going well, I won't bother you too much. If things are not going well, I can help you a little bit."
"It's worthy of the original person."
