People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 97: Some of you are pretending to be pirates, and some of you are pretending to be Japanese pirates, and jointly annihilate the southeastern gentry!
Chen Han saw the bitterness on the face of the business representative of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce.

Then he said aggrievedly: "Why, do you think all this money went into the pocket of the Honbu Hall?
Do you think the headquarters is willing to let you donate money?
If this kind of thing could happen less often in Zhejiang, why would Honbu Tang be able to stay well in the capital and come to our Zhejiang Province to be the governor of Zhejiang Province?

Did you see that? Motobudo is so young that his hair is almost turning gray.

How long have you been in Zhejiang? Just over half a month. How many things have happened?
Either the Japanese pirates massacred the village in Ningbo Prefecture, or the Japanese pirates appeared in Taizhou Prefecture and directly destroyed the chief envoy's uncle's family.

Now there are pirates who have killed all the governors. Do you think the headquarters is willing to take care of these messy things?
If it weren't for the common people in the world, if it weren't for the people of Zhejiang, our headquarters would not be willing to take care of this mess?

And the people of Li, don’t you exist?

After donating the money, Ningbo Guard will be completed.

Let us soldiers be confident and risk our lives to protect the people.

Aren't they protecting you?

Keeping Japanese pirates and pirates out of the country and preventing them from coming ashore is also responsible for you.

Now it seems as if the main department wants to ask you for money. If the main department didn't want to settle the matter in Zhejiang as soon as possible,
It is very simple to ask the court to allocate some money, why is it like you begging grandpa to sue grandma here.

With your attitude like this, if a Japanese pirate attack happens next time, don't say it's because of the lack of governance in our headquarters. "

Chen Han did not mention that he was asking for money for himself, but he said that he was doing it for the common people.

I want your money for the common people, but in the eyes of these businessmen.

Everything Chen Han said was to extort money from them.

If you don't give this, your family might be wiped out next time.

Today, the businessmen of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce seriously suspect that the Japanese pirates and pirates on the sea are under the command of the thief Chen Han.

In order to extort money from himself and to remove the obstacles on his path to reform, he did not hesitate to use such despicable means to deal with himself.

However, without evidence, now they can only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

He had no choice but to say: "Your Excellency, you have worked so hard for the sake of the country and the well-being of the people. We just donated a little money, so it doesn't matter.

Sir, you don’t need to say more, we are willing to donate money, we are willing to donate the previous amount, each family is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver. "

As they spoke, they prepared the banknotes.

Another two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver were obtained. After Chen Han pretended to be very unhappy and took the stack of silver notes, he pretended to say, "Do you think Honbudo likes silver that much?
No, every tael of these money will be used to strengthen Ningbo Guard.

Don’t worry, as long as you have this money, you can properly protect Zhejiang. "

As he spoke, he once again delivered a speech that brought tears to his eyes.

The slogan is that the pirates in Zhejiang must be eradicated.

The Japanese pirates must be destroyed on the sea and cannot be allowed to go ashore.

He also expressed regret that all the people in Zheng Zegang’s family were killed.

After Chen Han's actions, everyone was helpless against him.

Because although he was deviant, he always stayed out of it.

It seemed that these assassinations, sneak attacks, and family annihilations had nothing to do with him, but his actions made everyone murmur in their hearts.

Does he know? Still don’t know?

Wait until everyone returns to the inn to rest.

Li Rusong came as promised.

He himself broke away from the team and came to Chen Han, mainly to bring potatoes to Chen Han. In Chen Han's room.

When Chen Han looked at the six baskets of potatoes placed in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes.

This was during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

I can actually see potatoes.

Potatoes have become very common in modern society.

It is one of the most widely planted and most productive food crops in the world.

Even in our country it plays a very important role.

The reason why the population of the Qing Dynasty was able to exceed the 100 million mark was because of the promotion of potatoes.

An important reason for the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty was that with the arrival of the Little Ice Age, food production plummeted due to the cold.

There was no food to eat, coupled with rampant corruption, the country was destroyed.

But now that Chen Han has obtained potatoes, he can cultivate them and increase the Ming Dynasty's grain output to ten or twenty times what it was before.

Although the potatoes of the Ming Dynasty were not like those of later generations, they had gone through various selective cultivations, and the seeds were already very good.

But compared with local food crops, the yield of potatoes is still very high, very gratifying, and can still greatly increase the food output of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Rusong didn't understand very well, "Tishuai, you told us before that potatoes are a species from another country far away. How come they got into the hands of Guangdong pirates inexplicably?"

Chen Han held a potato and thought for a while, "These pirates should have had contact with the Portuguese in Macau.
Portugal was one of the first countries in the world to colonize South America. They not only obtained gold and silver from South America, but also obtained many excellent food crop seeds, including potatoes.

Potatoes first spread to Europe, where they were widely promoted, and then followed their colonial steps to Southeast Asia and then to Macau.

It is estimated that these Guangdong pirates had contact with the Portuguese and obtained this food from the Portuguese.

Potatoes can only be cooked in the water on the boat and added with a little salt to satisfy the hunger. It is a very easy-to-carry food. "

After listening to Chen Han's explanation, Li Rusong's eyes lit up: "Tishuai, you also said that the yield of potatoes is very high. Will that allow me to plant a large amount of potatoes in the future in Ming Dynasty?"

Chen Han nodded: "With the seeds, we can promote it in large quantities.

At the same time, now that we know that the Portuguese promoted potatoes in Macau or Southeast Asia, we must take down Macau and the places they colonized in Southeast Asia. We have a long way to go.

The huge Ming Dynasty is still fighting against these corrupt officials, the domineering Southeast Chamber of Commerce, and smugglers with rampant smuggling.

However, Western countries have begun to colonize the world and trade around the world.

If we don't catch up, the distance between our Ming Dynasty and them will be widened sooner or later.

Li Rusong was convinced after hearing this.

"So the Ming Dynasty still needs people like you, Tishuai, to truly make the Ming Dynasty strong."

Chen Han didn't think this was a compliment to him. After all, he was the Jade Emperor in this game.

He must make Ming strong.

Now only three months have passed, and he has already obtained such rights.

Within ten years, Ming should be able to complete the global unified game clearance.

Then Chen Han said again in order to speed up the pace: "Now some of you are pretending to be pirates, and some of you are pretending to be Japanese pirates, go forward from both ends, and jointly destroy the Southeast Chamber of Commerce family!"
