"Otherwise you think..."
"Why do I value this potato so much..."
Su Yang's voice was not loud, but it rang in his ears.
The entire Xishan Canteen suddenly fell into an eerie silence!
Deathly silence!
The chilling silence!
Monk Dao Yan looked at Su Yang in disbelief, and then looked at Yan Shizi Zhu Gaochi, his eyes full of doubts.
Zhu Gaochi's face turned red with excitement. He suppressed the throbbing and excitement in his heart and spoke slowly.
"Brother-in-law, you once said that this potato is extremely adaptable, resistant to poverty, drought and cold. Not only can it be planted in sandy dry land, but it can also live well in bitter cold places like Liaodong..."
"So, does this mean that potatoes can also be grown on... grassland deserts?"
With a "clang", Monk Daoyan stood up directly, not even caring that his chair fell over.
He seemed to have lost his mind. The rosary beads in his hand had already stopped rotating, and his eyes were fixed on Su Yang!
"Little friend Su, is this...serious?"
this is too scary!
And this thing is too big!
If potatoes could really be planted on the grassland, the problems and hidden dangers that had plagued the Central Plains dynasties for thousands of years would be solved instantly!
Su Yang did not continue to show off, because he saw that something was wrong with Monk Dao Yan's state.
This is the prime minister in black, Yao Guangxiao!
If you go too far in front of him, you might cause some trouble!
Su Yang took a sip of tea and then nodded lightly.
"If there is a food crop in this world that can be grown on grasslands and deserts, it must be potatoes!"
"The reason why potatoes can be hailed as the artifact of the country, apart from their ultra-high yield, the most important thing is that potatoes are extremely adaptable!"
"Adaptability, specifically, means drought and cold resistance. It is very suitable for planting in bitterly cold places such as Liaodong and arid places such as deserts. The yield will definitely be different from ordinary fields and will be lower, but the yield of more than ten shi per mu is not What a problem."
Su Yang said with great confidence, after all, this is the experience of future generations.
Because in later generations, the main potato-producing areas were Inner Mongolia and Northeast China. Not only that, but even Outer Mongolia also relied on potatoes as their staple food. In later generations, Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, was even known as the "Potato Capital of China"!
Monk Dao Yan was completely shocked. He looked at Su Yang blankly, his eyes gradually turning red.
The rest of the people were also stunned on the spot, with faces full of horror and astonishment!
Potatoes can be planted on desert grasslands!
what does that mean?
That means that the grassland and desert will no longer be a burden to the Central Plains Dynasty, but a piece of grain-producing land!
With the super high yield and strong adaptability of potatoes, you can produce food as long as you plant them!
And this food represents population and interests!
With enough food, more people can be fed, and more people can be born!
That piece of Mongolian grassland is so vast, far more than dozens or hundreds of times more fertile land for cultivation than the Central Plains!
Once potatoes are completely popularized, once potatoes really take root in the grasslands and deserts, the Ming Dynasty will usher in a truly peaceful and prosperous era!
Su Yang looked at the stunned crowd and just smiled.
He just wants to make these senior officials of the Yan Palace understand the strategic significance of potatoes and pay enough attention to potatoes, so that the Yan Palace will fully cooperate with him to promote the cultivation of potatoes.
"Potatoes can take root in the grasslands and deserts, there is no doubt about it!"
"With the talent of the Chinese people in farming, it won't be long before we can open up fields for farming on the grasslands and deserts. After planting potatoes, we can get food harvests, and then the fields will be connected together to form market towns and villages. , after more than ten years of development, the market towns and villages will further form cities..."
“In this way, the farming civilization of the Central Plains can rely on the potato, the sacred weapon of the country, to establish a firm foothold outside the Great Wall, and then advance step by step towards the grassland and desert, continuously compressing the living space of the grassland nomads, until they are completely eliminated from this land. Drive them away from the grassland, or in other words, completely subjugate and educate them. The collision of these two civilizations will ultimately result in the victory of the Central Plains farming civilization!"
"So, what we have to do now is to promote potatoes as soon as possible, so that the whole world will know about this sacred weapon, and then use potatoes as a useful weapon for the farming civilization of the Central Plains to launch a counterattack against the nomadic civilization of the grasslands!"
Su Yang's words made everyone excited and even excited!
Now it's not about raising troops to appeasement or fighting for the throne, but a battle of destiny between two major civilizations!
If they can succeed, the Central Plains farming civilization will completely eliminate the threats and harassment from the grassland nomadic civilization and create eternal peace for future generations!
And these people are definitely good enough to be famous and famous throughout the ages!
But, this is just a beautiful idea.
After all, there is still a war!
The fate of their Prince Yan's Mansion is not yet in their own hands!
Even if Su Yang really wants to implement this great plan, at least it will have to be after Jingnan succeeds!
Otherwise, if Jingnan fails, everyone will be beheaded, and there will be no war between civilizations!
"Brother-in-law, this matter of yours is... too big. I can't bear it alone!"
The big fat man covered his heart and gasped violently. God knows how long it took him to recover!
Talking to Su Yang, the banished immortal, can really kill someone if you are not careful!
Su Yang smiled and nodded, without saying anything to urge him.
It's all a matter of time anyway!
Prince Yan's Mansion is currently short of food, so it will naturally not hinder the promotion and development of potatoes.
On the contrary, whether it is for short-term food or long-term plans, Prince Yan's Mansion will fully promote potato cultivation!
This is the purpose of Su Yang's efforts in doing all this!
He unexpectedly came to the Ming Dynasty and saw with his own eyes the hardships and hardships of the people at the bottom, so he had to do something for them.
Su Yang asked himself that he was not a saintly gentleman, but if he didn't even have a little compassion and kindness, how was he any different from an animal?
Monk Dao Yan took a deep look at Su Yang, and his heart was filled with complex emotions that were difficult to express!
Is this "banishing the immortal"?
The artifact of Sheji that he took out at random was not only able to change the situation of the Ming Dynasty, but also calculated the war between the two major civilizations!
Su Yang, Su Yang, why do you want to come to Ming Dynasty at this moment?
Since Su Yang was born, why should Dao Yan be born!
At this moment, Monk Daoyan's pride and confidence were completely shattered to pieces!
Especially when he noticed Ma Sanbao's adoring and enthusiastic eyes, Monk Daoyan felt extremely frustrated!
Back then, Sanbao’s look was unique to him!
That look in his eyes represents the disciple's admiration for the master!
But now it has been transferred to Su Yang!
Damn traitor!
Have you forgotten your mentor so quickly?
Ma He: "Second Master, you are so awesome!"
Su Yang: "Basic skills, basic skills, no six!"
Dao Yan: "I'll go to your house..."
