Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

This plant looks a bit familiar.

but what?
Crops similar to it flashed through Chu Ze's mind.

As he thought about it, Chu Ze was suddenly shocked.

He sat upright suddenly, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and his chest almost touched the wine glass.

He squinted his eyes and stared at the plant.

Is that it?
It looks somewhat similar.

But today's plants are still very different from those common in Chu Ze.

To be sure, you have to pick it up and look carefully.

Chu Ze stood up immediately.

Startled everyone.

Lan Yu's hand shook, and most of the wine in the cup spilled.

He raised his head and saw that Chu Ze had quickly walked around the table and walked towards the center of the hall.

His move was so big that everyone in the palace with eyes saw it.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally saw it too.

Seeing this, some ministers stood up with a look of confusion on their faces and tried to accuse Chu Ze of not knowing the rules.

But just as he raised his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted.

With Chu Ze's expression, he must have discovered something.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Chu Ze's eyes and looked at the sweet potato flower.

When this sweet potato flower was presented, Zhang Yu said that it was a rare ornamental plant that he accidentally found in a large clan in Japan.

He looked at it and felt that the flower had some characteristics, so he took it back.

Is there something unique about this taro flower?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze.

Chu Ze rushed to the taro flower, stretched out his hand, grabbed the stem of the taro flower, and pulled the whole plant out of the pot.

Everyone: "!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he sat up straight.

Queen Ma's eyes were fixed on Chu Ze.

Zhu Biao and his brothers also held their breath subconsciously and waited for the next step.

The wine in Lan Yu's hand has been shaken out.

He even thought about where he would be buried.

In front of the emperor, he uprooted the flowers presented by his ministers. Isn't this a provocation?
Even though the emperor still has full trust in Chu Ze, Lan Yu dares to swear that once Zhu Yuanzhang finds an opportunity, he will definitely deal with Chu Ze without hesitation.

At this point, Lan Yu had no way to stop it.

He just hopes that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to kill Chu Ze yet.

Lan Yu swallowed hard, poured herself another glass of wine with trembling hands.

Li Xing was also stunned by Chu Ze's actions.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly froze at this moment.

But Chu Ze didn't realize it at all.

He picked up the taro flowers and looked at several earthen eggs of different sizes hanging from the stems, and he burst out laughing.

Everyone: "..."

"Your Majesty, look!" Chu Ze raised the sweet potato flower high and showed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the taro flowers and then looked at Chu Ze.

"Saw."

This guy's technique for picking flowers was good. He almost pulled out the stems without much soil on them.

He could even see clearly the lumps hanging from the stems.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Chu Ze: "What's wrong with this thing?"

"Yes, Chu Ze, please tell me quickly, what's wrong with this taro flower?" Zhu Biao added.

Zhu Di's brothers all pricked their ears, waiting for Chu Ze's explanation.

Queen Ma was also full of curiosity.

When Chu Ze heard the three words "芋芋花", his expression was slightly startled.

this name...

Give it a makeover.

"This thing, in our hometown, is called potato, also called potato, potato." Isn't it better than potato flower?
These Japanese people don’t even have nice names.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other.

They all know that the hometown Chu Ze refers to is his era.Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became obviously excited.

He stared at Chu Ze closely, his voice trembling: "What do you mean, can this be eaten?"

Plants are most likely to be edible.

Chu Ze nodded.

He wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up.

Due to the identity of the other party, Chu Ze pressed down his thumb that was about to move.

"Exactly."

Zhu Biao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Di laughed accordingly.

Zhu Ping's eyes shone brightly.

Queen Ma asked: "How do you eat this?"

"Besides eating it raw, you can eat it however you want." Chu Ze shook the potato plant.

He pointed to the fruit below and explained: "We eat it just by peeling off the skin. It can be cut into slices, shreds, chunks, or even minced. It can be stir-fried, pan-fried, Fried or roasted, each method has its own unique flavor, and when necessary, it can even be eaten as a staple food to replace grain."

Speaking of this, Chu Ze looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this.

The words "replacing food" are full of weight.

In today's Ming Dynasty, there are natural disasters all the time. If food crops are planted, no one knows whether they will be harvested in the end.

What they lack most now is food.

And this potato can actually replace grain.

This conclusion was enough to make everyone gasp.

The lively atmosphere just now suddenly became quiet again.

"Then what you mean is that it can be planted on a large scale across the country?" Zhu Biao took a deep breath before daring to express his speculation.

Chu Ze grinned and raised his hand to give Zhu Biao a thumbs up: "Correct answer."

In modern times, potatoes are grown a lot.

Moreover, potatoes are not particularly picky about the growing environment and can be grown in many places across the country.

At that time, some experts said that potatoes could completely replace grain when necessary.

Now they are short of food.

With potatoes, the problem of famine can be alleviated.

The people will not go hungry every day.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he didn't speak for a long time.

He was quiet for a long time, then suddenly fell back and leaned on the back of the chair.

Even so, his eyes were still fixed on the potatoes in Chu Ze's hand.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.

Then the laughter gradually grew louder.

Until it filled the entire hall.

"Great! With potatoes, our Ming Dynasty will no longer be short of food, and no one will be hungry. Hahahaha..."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was smiling heartily, Lan Yu knew that Chu Ze's danger was lifted.

He stood up first to congratulate.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, God bless us."

Others stood up and shouted: "God bless our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily.

Li Xing sat there with shock on his face.

Chu Ze is... okay?
And looking at this posture, he had no choice but to be rewarded.

I knew this boy was favored before, but I didn't expect him to be so favored.

But he also knows how important food is to a country.

If Chu Ze was under his command, he would definitely praise him highly.

Speaking of which, Li Xing felt quite sad.

He looked at the young man standing in the hall with a complicated expression.

Chu Ze took back his hand and smiled even happier.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his finger and pointed at him and said: "Chu Ze, I will leave these potatoes to you. Whether the people of Ming Dynasty can have enough to eat depends on you. By the way, Zhang Yu, do the Japanese still have these potatoes?" If Yes, get them all back for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Yu expectantly. (End of chapter)
