Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 31 Potatoes?No, it's golden beans!

Fields.

Zhu Biao drew squares one by one with branches on the ground, and then threw stones into the squares.

"Contradiction between man and land, merger of land, redistribution of resources"

These words kept coming out of Zhu Biao's mouth, and he even forgot the farm work that Su Jing asked him to do.

"Niu Yi!"

Su Jing shouted helplessly.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said: "Master Su."

Su Jing said: "Niu Yi, you must be pragmatic, not unrealistic. The knowledge I imparted to you is not to make you be dazed and work hard."

"Nothing in this world is eternal. The future generations will deal with it, so why bother."

He originally wanted to broaden Zhu Biao's horizons and insights, not to stick to the feudal society.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao became a little bit obsessed.

Su Jing really regretted it.

"Mr. Su, the students also think about it, but at the moment, the students' minds are full of what Master Su said yesterday, and they can't get rid of it."

Zhu Biao said helplessly.

Because he wanted to tell his father Zhu Yuanzhang what he had learned from Su Jing, Zhu Biao went through it again, which deepened his impression.

He is really a little obsessed.

Su Jing sighed slightly, and said, "Niu Yi, whether you are a prince, general or ordinary person, in terms of history, they are just a drop in the ocean."

"I let you see through the truth of history. It doesn't mean that life has lost its meaning. It's like the Ming Dynasty is now thriving. The people live and work in peace and contentment. At least it proves that Ming Dynasty is healthy now."

"Eternal things like this are originally impossible. All we can do is to do our best to make this living and working in peace last longer."

"Above history, there are many emperors who pursue eternity. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he sent Xu Fu to the sea to visit fairy mountains, just to find the elixir of life."

"As a result, Qin Shihuang died of illness at the age of 50."

"Emperor Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who enshrined Zen on Mount Tai, believed that if the Penglai gods and mountains would be available, he carried out activities to seek immortals, such as summoning ghosts and gods, making alchemy sand, etc., and died at the age of 70."

"Tang Taizong Li Shimin took various alchemists for a long time and died at the age of 52."

"None of those who desire longevity succeed, and some even die short-lived because of it."

"The dynasty is the same. The more you want to find the law of the future, it will only be counterproductive."

The so-called can't get what you want, that's it.

Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong.

Listening to Su Jing's words, Zhu Biao suddenly seemed to realize something, and his whole expression changed.

"Thank you, Master Su, for teaching."

Zhu Biao bowed to Su Jing and thanked Su Jing.

Su Jing waved his hand and said: "Okay, there's no need to say these things are useless, hurry up, I won't get off work if I don't finish digging up these potatoes today!"

These are the potatoes that Su Jing planted more than two months ago, and now they are ripe for harvest.

"What are potatoes?"

Zhu Biao was taken aback. These days, he was absent-minded most of the time, and he really didn't care.

Zhu Biao was very curious looking at the yellow potatoes that looked like mud eggs dug out of the ground.

Su Jing smiled and said: "I haven't seen it before, you will know if you eat it at night, it can be used as food."

When food?
Zhu Biao picked up a big potato, but couldn't imagine what it had to do with food.

But he is not in a hurry, anyway, the teacher Su Jing will explain it to him when the time comes.

This time, just get down to work first.

The hoe was raised and lowered, and Zhu Biao did it with great effort.

As time went by, the sun was also getting closer to setting.

"Okay, let's go here today."

Su Jing said, in fact, he and Zhu Biao only dug about half of it, but it was getting late, Su Jing did not make things difficult for Zhu Biao.

"Okay, Master Su."

Zhu Biao stopped digging, turned his head to look at the bag of potatoes behind him, and felt shocked instantly.

How come there are so many?

"Master Su, are these potatoes grown in this field?"

Zhu Biao asked in disbelief.

He has also participated in the cultivation of rice and wheat, and has a good understanding of the yield of these food crops.

Zhu Biao never imagined that there could be so many crops.

More importantly, Su Jing also said that these potatoes can be used as food!

"Of course, potatoes are drought-tolerant and high-yielding crops. As long as they are well cared for, the yield of [-] to [-] shi per mu (two to three thousand catties) is not a problem."

Su Jing replied with a smile.

He chose to grow potatoes because of their high yield.

Several restaurants and restaurants in Lishui County can launch potato-related dishes at that time.

There is no need to make things rare and expensive, and it is enough to make small profits and sell quickly.

Of course, the potatoes themselves are delicious too!
"What, twenty or thirty shi per mu!"

Zhu Biao rubbed his ears, and asked in disbelief, "Master Su, is what you said true?"

Su Jing was not surprised by Zhu Biao's surprise at all, but said lightly: "Why, I can't believe it, right? The yield of rice is only five or six shi per mu, and even less of wheat, and the yield of potatoes is ten times that."

"Tomorrow we'll dig up the remaining potatoes in the half-acre field, and we can naturally verify the authenticity."

No matter how much you say, it is not as effective as practicing it yourself.

"Master Su, what can we do now?"

Zhu Biao said eagerly.

As a prince, he knew that his father was troubled by the food problem.

If the potatoes were as Su Jing said, then the food problem of the Ming Dynasty would no longer be a problem.

Not only that, Zhu Biao even thought of the contradiction between man and earth.

The contradiction between the growing population and the grain output of the land, with potatoes, wouldn't the outbreak of the conflict between man and land be delayed for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao's eyes were full of light!
Master Su, you still said that there is no solution!
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. What kind of work do you do when it's dark? You have to combine work and rest in your life."

Su Jing rejected Zhu Biao's idea without thinking.

Just kidding, what do you do at night, feed mosquitoes?
Life is for enjoying, not for suffering.

This planting is only Su Jing's personal interest.

"Alright then, Master Su, let's come early tomorrow."

Zhu Biao had no choice but to hold back the excitement in his heart.

Su Jing said: "No hurry, no hurry, taste the taste of potatoes first."

Without even leaving, Su Jing used local materials and built a simple stone stove with stones, and Zhu Biao found some branches.

The two of them started a bonfire by the field.

Potatoes don't need to be washed, just throw them into the fire, wait until the flame goes out, and roast for a while.

Pull out the baked potatoes with a wooden stick.

"Try it."

Su Jing said with a smile.

Zhu Biao nodded, following Su Jing's example, he broke open the potato and took a bite.

Of course it can't compare with the food in those restaurants, but the taste is definitely not bad!
Zhu Biao was shocked that such a simple cooking could have such a flavor.

Not only that, but Zhu Biao found out that this potato is very hungry!

This is not a potato, this is a "golden bean"!

Zhu Biao's face was full of excitement!
