If there is anyone who hopes Liu Weichao can make money the most, then this person must be Emperor Chongzhen.
At this time, he heard what Liu Weichao said. Although he didn't understand what partner meant, he knew it meant working together, so he also said excitedly: "Okay, I, Qiangguo, you make money, and we will work hard together!"
After he finished speaking, perhaps Liu Weichao's cell phone moved, and the camera turned around, and he saw something. Emperor Chongzhen reminded him quickly: "Hey, what should you eat for dinner... sweet potato?"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he smiled and said, "You have really sharp eyes! That's right, eating sweet potatoes tonight is simple, convenient and cheap!"
"Then you don't have any food?" Emperor Chongzhen asked with some confusion after hearing this, "This seems to be the staple food, right?"
"..." When Liu Weichao heard this, he was a little speechless. You really think that I am the emperor. My meals are not your meals!
So, he explained: "I worked for more than a year and saved about 100,000 yuan; now I have no income, every penny I use is lost, and I have to start a business, so I can spend as much as I can."
When you make money later, you can eat better!"
Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't know how much the 100,000 yuan Liu Weichao mentioned was, he could tell that Liu Weichao was actually very short of money now.
Realizing this, he decided in his heart that he must improve Liu Weichao's situation as soon as possible and make him rich!
Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen kept this matter in mind and would discuss it with Concubine Tian later to see if there was any good solution?
But it was also because he saw the sweet potatoes just now that he said to Liu Weichao: "I have seen the sweet potatoes and potato photos you sent me and sent people to find them. If there is anything else, send it to me as well.
Is that okay?”
After hearing this, Liu Weichao patted his head and immediately said with an embarrassed smile: "Yes, yes, you are right, I will find the information and send it to you!"
Afterwards, Liu Weichao hung up the call and started looking for him.
Corn, in ancient times, was called fanmai, royal wheat, yumai, corn, pearl rice, cob, etc. "Gongxian Chronicle" in the 34th year of Jiajing already had the name "yumai", but clear and detailed records were found in the 39th year of Jiajing.
Volume 11 of "Pingliang Prefecture" of Gansu Province in 2011: "Fanmai, also known as Xitianmai, has seedling leaves like Sichuan seedlings but fat and short, with ears at the end that are like rice but not solid. It is as solid as a pagoda, as big as a tung seed, and has internodes.
The red velvet flowers are at the end of the tower, five or six inches long, sown in March and harvested in August." In addition, (Ming Dynasty) Tian Yiheng's "Liu Qing Rizha" and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" have records.
Needless to say, sweet potatoes were introduced during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Guangqi introduced them from Fujian to Shanghai and planted them, and planted sweet potatoes for Emperor Chongzhen.
Potato, also known as potato, potato, yam egg, ground egg, Dutch potato. It is native to the Andes Mountains of Peru and Bolivia in South America and was domesticated by the Indians. It was introduced to Spain in about 1570, to England in 1590, and to England in about 1650.
Introduced to China.
This is a good thing to really solve the famine, but it seems that it was not available in the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, around 1642. Even if it is already available, it may be in a corner. It will not be as good as corn and sweet potatoes.
try to find.
Peanuts, also known as long-lasting fruits, groundnuts, bald cypresses, longevity fruits, sweet beans, figs, etc., are a favorite food and an important oil crop. They are divided into two types: small-grained and large-grained. The small-grained type was first recorded
Seen in Jia Ming's "Dietary Instructions" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the large-grain type was only introduced during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This is also very useful and needs to be vigorously promoted.
Chili peppers, also known as peppers, sea peppers, Qin peppers, ground peppers, and spicy eggplants, were introduced to Europe in 1493 and to Japan from 1593 to 1598. There were two ways to introduce them into China: one was introduced to Gansu and Shaanxi through the ancient Silk Road
and other places; first, it was introduced to Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places via sea routes. The record of chili pepper in China first appeared in Gao Lian's "Eight Notes of Zunsheng" (1591).
In other words, peppers already existed in the late Ming Dynasty, but they were not yet common. In the beginning, they were even used as ornamental flowers. This is also worth mentioning to Emperor Chongzhen.
Tomato, also known as tomato, persimmon, June persimmon, persimmon, etc. It is native to the Andes Mountains of South America. The earliest record in my country can be found in the "Qunfang Pu" of Wang Xiangjin of the Ming Dynasty...
Hey, wait!
When Liu Weichao checked this, something seemed wrong, so he flipped through the information again and looked forward.
Finally, he clicked on Wang Xiangjin's information to read.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you will be overjoyed immediately.
Wang Xiangjin (1561～1653) was a scholar, official, agriculturist, and expert in medicine in the Ming Dynasty...
These are actually nothing. The most important thing is that from 1607 to 1627, Wang Xiangjin led his servants to run the garden, planted various fruits, collected ancient books extensively, and compiled "Qunfang Pu" in more than 10 years, with 30 volumes in total. Yes A masterpiece that discusses the production of various crops and some issues related to production in the early 17th century in my country.
Wang Xiangjin seems to have recorded some of the crops that Liu Weichao was looking for just now, as long as they were already available in the late Ming Dynasty.
He had always believed that Xu Guangqi was the only agricultural master in the late Ming Dynasty. But he didn't expect that there was actually a Wang Xiangjin hidden there.
This Wang Xiangjin may have a different direction than Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi's "Agricultural Policy Complete Book" is a masterpiece that is really aimed at agricultural production. As for Wang Xiangjin, he is more like a rich man who likes flowers and plants, so he played with them at home and wrote a book.
He didn’t run away. Although this person may not be as good as Xu Guangqi, he was definitely suitable to be Emperor Chongzhen’s Minister of Agriculture in the late Ming Dynasty!
It seems that he is a Donglin Party member, but what does it matter? Let him take care of farming and worry less about party disputes, and let Emperor Chongzhen beat him!
With this in mind, Liu Weichao checked the information again and again, and even spent money to buy a paper about Wang Xiangjin and his life. After reading it, he picked up his mobile phone and prepared to contact Emperor Chongzhen.
However, when he picked up the phone, he suddenly remembered that Emperor Chongzhen could not contact him before. In order to avoid forgetting, he simply turned on the volume first.
As for cell phone ringtones? Liu Weichao tried several and finally chose the simple song sung by Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault".
At that time, he saw Xu Sanduo singing in front of the mirror on the empty stairs, which also moved him very much.
Then, he contacted Emperor Chongzhen.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen did not sit there and wait for Liu Weichao to pass the information.
It was getting late, and he was having dinner with his family.
Although Emperor Chongzhen was a very poor emperor, Liu Weichao's dining standards were definitely not comparable to those of Liu Weichao.
Emperor Chongzhen was on the throne, accompanied by Empress Zhou, and there were two other noble concubines, namely Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan. Then there were a bunch of princes and princesses.
While we were having our meal, suddenly, the cell phone rang. Emperor Chongzhen was so frightened that his hands shook and he spilled the soup!
